Re: Re: reacting to oil of oregano?

Kathy, I totally agree, the oil of oregeno took me a while as I told Diamonds earlier, to move up my dosage. It is potent stuff. Wow you have been on primal Defense for 2 yrs! You go girl!Now do you take a probiotic seperatly, or find that the Primal has enough probiotics ? How are you feeing? And are you still on the same amounts of antibiotcs? Fill me in.

Kathy, that is great, I am glad to hear you are improving. I know how you feel, it seems to take so long. Like me with losing weight. I feel like it will never happen. I want my metabolim back! It must be very hard (frustrating) being so senstive to things, and needing it in small dosages. But at least your know your body,and arent forcing more dramatic or harsh things upon it. Going slow is probably the best, and most safest way to heal and detox. It took years to do all the damage, and may take all of them to get it back. Keep up the faith, and doing all you are doing. I could not handle the colostrum at all, either. Made me ill - too fast of a herx. And the primal is very easy on you, I agree. Im on the minocin 100 three times per week,and couldnt handle any more of it. And whenever I take hot baths in salts, I could die!

I think its wonderful to see you have come such a long way, and with it gained much knowledge that you will carry for the rest of your life. I know it has also pulled me in closer to God, and I know I have that too now -from all this mess. As it sounds you do also. Blessings to you!
