Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear Sheila, Thank you from our hearts! Thanks to you I now know that Uva Ursi is not safe. It is high in phenols and very hard on the liver and kidneys. Elaine said that it is not recommneded for children. Kiki has a phenol sensitivity that is getting better....but still there. I started her on garlic....am looking into other safe things....like organo....but I think this is just for funal.....Pseudomonas A is a bacteria. I am calling the DAN! and insisting that they see her today! No more of this BS! they did the test...now he can step up to the plate. Waiting a month is not right! SHE IS SICK NOW! sorry but a bit angry Antoinette (SCD 2/06) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi Antoinette, Oil of oregano does have antibacterial activity: From: http://intelegen.com/ImmuneSystem/oregano_oil.htm " ...Oregano oil was one of only three oils that inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a hard-to-kill bacterium that causes human wound infections... " From: http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/oregano.html " Isomeric phenols (primarily carvacrol) in oregano oil in dilutions as low as 1/50,000 destroys Candida albicans, the Aspergillus mold, Staphylococcus, Campylobacter, Klebsiella, E.coli, Giardia, Pseudomonas, and Proteus. " Grapefruit Seed Extract also has antibacterial activity: from http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/4415/grapefruit.html " ...grapefruit. The extract from this common fruit has been shown to be effective against many germs, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Listeria, E. coli, Klebsiella, Legionella, Salmonella, Shingella, Cholera and Pseudomonas. " *If* you decide to try the oil of oregano (and I think you need to do your own research and see if it is compatible with all Kiki's symptoms) start with small amounts, as it is very strong. Some papers also indicate that garlic helps also. You will probably need to treat her for die off when you start these treatments. Although much research indicates that good bacteria is not harmed by oil of oregano, garlic or GSE; there seems to be some debate over it. If it were me I'd take doses of probiotics and/or yogurt between doses of antibacterial agents whether they were medicine or natural agents, just to be on the safe side.
