Oil of Oregano

October 15, 2001

My experience with oil of oregano was similar to the following reported by

newjersey23. I used the oil on my elbows which were quit encrusted. The

crusts deepened and split and I stopped using the oil after 3 days. I used

Topicort with a Saranwrap wrapping over night to remove the crust. My

elbows were left red and sore and the skin seemed much thinner. However on

the small plaques (size of a dime) on my arms and legs, the oil cleared the

crust and was a decided improvement. For me, the oil improved the minor

areas but not the more severe.

how do you know you're killing yeast in lue of a $200 organic acid urine

test?

December 11, 2001

Hi, I use oil of oregano for yeast and I use it one

week on and one week off. It tastes horribly so what I

do is I put four drops in an empty capsule and my son

swallows it with no problem. It is very strong so

watch for reactions (like with anything else our kids

take:))

Vicky:

Thanks for the response. We've been using one drop/day for the past

week and so far things to be going well. Just wanted to check and see

if it was o.k. to keep using it for a few more days.

Hi, Sharon! My son (almost 7 at that time) and I had used Oregano

Oil.

We'd taken it for 2 weeks actually. Here is the link to the page I

got

Oregano Oil from.

http://www.healthherbs.com/products/ESSENTIALOILS/oregano-wild-6222.ht

Oregano oil is non-toxic, but dying yeast is pretty toxic itself, so

there I would take a precautions as with Nystatin or other antifungal

remedies/drugs.

Hi Sharon,

I used oil of oregano as part of my antifungal treatment and it does

work great on yeast. However, be warned, it is very hard on the liver

(as most essential oils are). The die-off can be very strong as well.

Take it easy with it and take breaks too (take other antifungals in

the meantime).

I always can tell I am killing yeast because the stools turn yellow.

Ruth,

How long did you use the oregano before taking a break? When you say hard on

the liver, what specifically did you see as symptoms of this?

,

I have use oil of oregano to fight yeast, with success. The book the

CURE IS IN THE CUPBOARD talks about the uses of oil of oregano, I

just got it from the library today, 2-3 drops, 2-3 three times per

day. I have heard it is hard on the liver.

I have had the most success with w/ no fenol and the oil of

oregano. I am alternating between oil of oregano, GSE, and lavender

oil blend. My NAET practitioner has told me that w/ yeast you should

alternate what you are using. I also use monolaurin on a regular

basis which also helps w/ yeast.

But like I said the combination w/ the no fenol seems to have

controlled the yeast at least today.

Hi Kate,

My son had a few really odd smelling B.M's when first starting the

oil of oregano but it subsided after a few days. I assumed it was

die off.

I got oregamax instead of teh oil of oregano. Is this the same thing except

that oregamax is in a capsule?

Hi Diane! Geoff here.

" Has anyone used wild oregano that has been promoted by Dr. Cass Ingram? "

I and my family use the Oregano and other " wild-crafted " oils that Dr.

Ingram offers through North American Herb and Spice. We also use the

Oregamax capsules, which have been very helpful in aiding sinus drainage. I

learned about Oil of Oregano and Oregamax from this list.

CAVEAT: The oils are especially high in concentrated phenols, they can cause

a severe burning sensation in some instances and need to be used cautiously,

especially the extra-strong ones. If interested, www.healingyou.org has

been carrying those items for a couple of years now.

If you are interested in learning more about true Oil of Oregano, you can

use this link to hear Dr. Ingram's presentation on the product first-hand.

BTW, want calcium? Eat " true " oregano - 20x more than cheese.

We always keep a good supply of wild oil of oregano in our house. My

daughter-in-law gives it to her children regularly during the winter months

as a preventive.

Dr. Cass Ingram has written a book on uses for oil of oregano, titled The

Cure is in the Cupboard.

For thrush (oral candidiasis) he recommends gargling with oil of oregano by

adding a few drops in salt water and rubbing it directly on gums and

throughout the oral cavity. He also recommends taking Oregamax - three

capsules two or three times a day.

For candidiasis, he recommends several drops under the tongue two to three

times daily for two weeks and then two drops twice daily for maintenance.

For long term treatment of chronic or stubborn infections add 6 to 12

capsules of Oregamax daily.

We have been using oreganol brand oil of oregano from a hfs. Each

drop contains 25 mgs and when he has a yeast flare up, I give him one

or two drops, once or twice a day, and then kind of judge it from

there. The most I've ever given him was two drops twice in one day

and that was for a flareup that we were having a hard time stopping

with gse and nystatin and so that's when we started with ooo. Even

at the lower levels of using it, it has worked for us.

I have read Andy suggest emulsified ooo, but I did not see any of

that at our hfs.

That's the brand I found today so that's good. I want to keep it on hand in

case something flares up with chelation. I also have GSE on hand ( & nystatin,

but we've had bad experiences with that one).

Thank you!

Hi,

I suggested using it on the feet on this list a long time ago. I take the

stuff under my tongue and I can't imagine an average 4-year-old tolerating

the intensity. Oil of oregano is caustic on the skin, I once saw a burn on

an adult who thought it might help her herpes sore. I do use it on my

daughter's back , but sometimes need to thin it with an edible oil like

olive. Do not use water!

The skin on the feet is thicker and different and it will absorb into the

bloodstream, I can feel it. I am guessing some will get to the gut, but

candida elsewhere worries me more. Try a little bit and avoid the thinner

skin on the arch of the foot. Start small and be ready with some olive oil.

If you are specifically going for the gut, put a drop in a tiny capsule and

make sure it's swallowed quickly so the capsule doesn't dissolve in the

mouth. The active ingredients in oil of oregano are phenols. My daughter's

first adventure with this made her very sick, who knows why. Now she's fine

with it and uses it for oncoming strep.

I think it will kill fungus on the feet only. I take a small capsule,

put there 2 drops of oil and hide it inside banana or other fruit,

and my son swallows it.

>You can buy it in tablet form or oil form.<

I have just ordered the gelcaps. I was very sick with a respiratory infection,

and I won't take antibiotics anymore. I used the Oregacyn in dry capsule form

and it cleared it up in a few days. I didn't even have the usual cough that

persists after that kind of infection. I am an asthmatic and I'm doing fine. I

will take the Oil of Oregano as maintanence. Carlson

To my knowledge, the oil of oregano will not kill off the good stuff,

however, if you use it daily, long term, you do run the risk of

killing off so much yeast that it allows bad bacteria to get a

foothold (same goes for GSE--don't know about olive leaf extract).

You do need SOME yeast in a healthy colon. We use one, two, max

three drops for a 50 pound child. Three drops was when we were

having one heck of a yeast flareup. Generally, when I see the signs

coming on, I just give one or two drops, per day for a few days.

That is enough to stop it. Ethan swallows capsules, so I break open

an empty gelcap or one of his probiotic capsules and I put the drops

in there and then I close it up and have him swallow it right away.

That way, we don't have to deal with the taste of it. I would

continue to give probiotics while giving any anti-yeast treatment.

April 3, 2003

Would you use GSE for 3 days and then OOO for 3 days on rotation?

This is what I've been doing and it seems to help quite a bit. We chelate every

weekend and yeast comes back with a vengance!!!! I was just wondering if this

was too much anti-yeast at one time.

Just wondering about opinions.
