Re: Enteric-coated Oil of Oregano

[Guest guest]

Hey Nina in MA,

This is very interesting. I cannot tolerate OoO but I would be

curious to know what you find out and experience with this- please

keep me posted!

Did he explain any more about why low dose regimens promote

resistance? Is it just because the bacteria get used to it?

Thanks,

Jodi

enteric-coated capsules as they protect the gut. He also said to use a

high-dose regimen (he said that low-dose OOO regimens can promote

resistance and thus declining efficacy.) Given the higher dosage he

wants me on, enteric coating is even more important.

He said that when you take a lower dose over a longer period of time, some of the yeast/bacteria survive the treatment and breed resistance in that environment during exposure. He favours a high-dose treatment over a shorter duration to kill off both the weak and the strong (prone to resistance) yeast. My stomach wouldn't survive treatment with a high-dose agent of any kind without enteric coating. I'm glad my doctor is looking out for me :-)Best, Nina in MA
