  • Oil Of Oregano.....miracle?

    Last night I was starting to feel like I was coming down with something...I am a true believer in this stuff's ability to be a very powerful antioxidant, and it has never failed....but this morning I woke up, not only feeling better, but the system cleanse, well, ..... I dropped 4 lbs! I think it is a great supplement to take on this diet, as part of the goal is to clean out your system with all the proccessed junk we have eaten prior to changing our WOE.....but a whoosh? Who knew? There is tons of research on all the things oil of oregano is good for....it's not the same as the spice we cook with, but has a very potent taste...if you feel sickness coming on, take it right away, if you are already sick, after taking it you will feel much better after about 3 hours....but whoosie? New to me!

    Re: Oil Of Oregano.....miracle?

    I discovered oil of oregano about 2/3 years ago. I used to get bladder/urinary tract infections all the time... And I also ended up having to go the doctor to get antibiotics to clear it up... Until I started working at a new job and met my bosses daughter. She rarely ever went to the doctor, and pretty much only used natural curing products for her illnesses...

    She recommended oil of oregano to me.. I bought some of the gelcaps at my local
    health store, and no joke I was feeling better within 2 hours. Ive never had to go to the doctor for UTIs since then. Whenever I feel UTI symptoms, I take a few and it cleanses me right out.
    I always keep a bottle on hand!
    Although, Ive never noticed the whoosh aspect, but hey now that im on this woe, maybe it will!

      You know, I have a bottle of this, and didn't think to take it the last time I felt like I was coming down with something. I actually have Oregano essential oil, undiluted and it's very potent. I've taken a drop in water before, and it burns my lips. I wonder if I could dilute it in a carrier oil, and take it that way. The stuff is HOT!

        I know the proper way to take the drops is drooping under your tongue for 10 sec....and rinsing with water....but it is potent!

                Can you say,

                E B A Y ???

                You can get it all over the place on Ebay, or you might try Fresh Foods or a health food store.
                Why not just use a bunch of fresh oregano in your cooking? It's inexpensive and also very easy to grow.

                If you just want to try it, here's a listing for samples:

                  I used Oil of Oregano when I was battling the yeast, C. albicans. It is very strong, but I don't recall it ever causing whooshies. How interesting!

                  I also don't recommend purchasing it over E-bay unless you can see the expiration date, etc in a picture. You don't want to be taking old supplements!!!

                  Eating fresh oregano is also good as far as I'm concerned, but the concentrated stuff is just that, super-concentrated. I'm not certain how many plants you would need to make the extract, but it would be a lot!!! You're just getting more of the active ingredient in the extract compared to fresh.

                    I purchased mine as gelcaps for about 12 bucks I think (60 caps) at a health store here in California called "Henrys". The liquid stuff is probably more powerful, but the gels are easier and cheaper.. and I found that they work!

                      I paid about $26 for 15 ml bottle and I looked that up....in liquid form, that is about 300 drops...and you only need about 6 drops a day...so it lasts along time....

                        (I am a huge fan of this and wrote this up awhile ago for another bb...thought I would share the info here too)

                        Oil of Oregano

                        More than likely you have never heard of it, but this herb is amazing. It is

                        anti-viral
                        anti-bacterial
                        anti-microbial
                        anti-fungal
                        anti-parasitic
                        anti-oxidant

                        I know it seems to good to be true, but I can tell you first hand this stuff works.

                        The first time I used it, I was diagnosed with Valley Fever, picked it up in Arizona selling beads at Quartzsite. I had it for 6 weeks, and finally I was advised to get this. Within 2 days I was cured. The guy who told me about it had VF for 6 months! He thought he was dying and it was gone in less than a week after using this oil. His doctors tried everything, but VF is a fungus that attacks your lungs...they couldn't cure it.

                        Sunday I came down with a nasty cold that was quickly settling in my sinuses...I tend to get sinusitus and my forehead was even sore to the touch, I knew it could be bad. The first night it came on I started putting 4 drops of Oil of Oregano under my tongue and washing it down with water, about 4-5 times a day. Sunday was the first day, it is Tuesday night and I am all but better.

                        I could go on and on, but here are some links for you to check it out on your own:

                        (keep in mind, these guys are selling it, but the info is good...I prefer to buy North American Herb & Spice Co. brand, with the blue label - Oreganol P-73...you can get it at your Health Food Store)



                        Wolfe Clinic
                        This one gives dosages, it's a good source
                        This link gives more techie info, but it is the site for the only brand I will use...it's the best out there in my opinion

                        There is a book out there called Cure Is In The Cupboard that is awesome, with lots of info.

                        anyway, sorry for sounding like a salesman, but I am passionate about this stuff!

                        I SHOULD sell it! lol

                        By the way, this stuff does taste rather nasty and bitter, but my trick is to drop it under the tongue, wait for a moment until it feels warm (your mouth will absorb the oils into your system very quickly) and have a small glass of water handy. I press the back of my tongue up against my mouth (to protect my taste buds) and let the water wash the herb AROUND my tongue and down my throat. I have gotten so good at this, I rarely taste it.

                        My roommate went out and bought some cheaper stuff (P73 is 30.00 for 1/2 ounce I think) and when I ran out he gave me some. NASTY STUFF!!! I thought P73 was bad, but I am telling you I can't take that other stuff.

                        It pays to pay a little extra to get the North American Spice P-73 Brand...seriously.
                        Admitting...on April 2010 I have been eating low carb for almost 7 years and the lowest I got to was 145. These last couple of years though I got lazy, and over the course of time, gained back up to almost 170. I am back on induction, a week into it now on 4/22/10, doing excellent and seeing results. Once again, my weight goal is 140.

                        I just don't have the heart to change the stats below, except I am NOW 46yrs.
