Re: reacting to oil of oregano?

[Guest guest]

Diamonds, I would cut down to 3 drops per day, in the beginning- one drop in a small cup three times per day. I also had alot of herxing anytime I go on too much of anything- like primal Defense- oh my lord, I had to be at 2 pills per day for about 2 months, then work slowly up for the next 3 months to get to 5. I also had a hard time with cocunut oil for a few months, as this too kills of infections. I have joint pain, facial acne, numbness and tingling, and headaches as my herx symtpoms. Everyones different, and it is a good sign, its working! Take it slow, and give your bod a chance to get it out, by sweating, working out hot baths, and enemas! Good luck

Dear dimonds

those are the exact symptoms I get from taking anything that kills

yeast! The first time I took nystatin I got heart palpatations

within 24 hr. And the muscle spasms and fatigue were terrible.

This happened with olive leaf extract and then again--to a lesser

extent--to oil of oregano. Since nystatin is specific to yeast

only, I am very sure that candida is a big problem of mine. I have

been taking oil of oregano since july and am still only taking 3

drops a day. i think that your 9 drops is too much to start and you

are having alot of die off. I would cut it out for a few days

andthen restart at no more than 2-3 drops a day. Do that for at

least a week and then add a drop or so at a time very slowly. I

found primal defense to produce the least herx for me than the above

mentioned products. It can kill candida too. I have taken it for 2

years now. But primal defense is alot more expensive. I get my

primal defense from apple a day and beyond website. You get it for

$31.47 and free shipping for orders over $45. My oil of oregano is

about $20 and seems to last a long time. i personally really like

both products, but if you can't tolerate oil of oregano yet, you may

find starting out with primal defense and then going to the oil

later on may be of help. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Blessings, kathy

Thanks for asking how I'm doing! I am so much better off than

even last year. Some symptoms such as brain fog are completely

gone. The weirdest and worst symptoms are gone. Symptoms from my

fms rotate in and out. I still think I have a firmly entrenched

candida problem with poor ability to eliminate toxins from my body---

thus the constant herxing. I am still working on going real slow

with several things and I think I am making progress. I am

considering doing a 3 day cleanse with Sonne products as I

researched them when I saw patty posted about some of them. I do

far infrared sauna everyday--I own one. So basically, if I could

get my detoxification pathways working, I think I would make some

tremendous progress. As it is, it is hard to tell how good I could

feel if I wasn't herxing because i am constantly herxing. I can

immediately feel the effects of products I use--like in about 15

minutes. I have always been super sensitive to meds too.

There are parts of every day when I feel perfectly normal. I can go

from morning until night if I am out running around- most of the

time---but if I am sitting or doing hard physical work, that is when

I notice that my energy is very poor. Since I have had scleroderma

like symptoms, I feel I have to explore every avenue back to

wellness. The scleroderma symptoms have improved dramatically, but

still rotate in and out. Some are completely gone and others come

and go. I am grateful to be where I am when I realize how sick I

could really become should I develop a full blown scleroderma type

disease. I am still at a very low dose of doxycycline--50mg twice a

week and my ap dr. says keep itlow until you can tolerate it.

Again, my inability to tolerate normal doses of ap shows that my

detoxification pathways aren't up to par! But I am working on it

and I believe that with God's help, I will experience healing!

Concerning the Primal Defense, I think it is an excellent product

and one of the first that I could actually tolerate. I did herx to

it, but it was a very standable herx if that makes sense. On the

scale of 1 to 10, it was at most a 5. Some other things like

colostrum or milk thistle or enzymes or olive leaf put me at about

an 8 very quickly. Gooing up on ap dose put me at a 10. It was

unbearable. From what I can tell, I am in the minority when it

comes to my inability to tolerate ap and other things. Somebody has

to be the lucky one! I get frustrated, but I am never going to give

up!!!

Blessings to you, kathy
