I might try the library in the next couple of weeks to see what I can dig up, as far as professional journals go.

On a side note: I did get in touch with a more experienced herbalist who answered my email inquiry about Lomatium today, and confirmed for me that Lomatium, is excellent for flu and colds, and will NOT stir up cytokines. She said it works in a different way than Echinacea, Elderberry, or Goldenseal. But she didn't go into details.

It would probably be easier to get these articles interlibrary loan from your nearest library. It is a wonderful service that almost all libraries offer.
