Introduction
Echinacea is a very good remedy in cases of sepsis arising from infections or intrusions like injections, operations, catheters or infusions. Examples are babies hospitalised with a vena cava catheter giving infections with high fever. The intrusion is the Lanthanide theme, exaggerated by the Asteraceae theme of being wounded and invaded. The reaction is high fevers and threatening shock and death, like in Stage 17.
They react violently to intrusions and domination. They try to avoid any situation where they can be ordered or forbidden. In order to keep their freedom they often become an outsider.
