Clove oil is also very good. Bee Bee with Nystatin, if I was going to take a course of that, are there side effects from ongoing use/how long would you take it for, and is it more effective than the garlic? (cant get clove oil either) currently Im taking garlic and having pure coconut oil with all my food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mid 1980s and I took it (under Doctor's care) for 2 1/2 years. I wouldn't say it is more effective than garlic, and also garlic provides many other benefits that you couldn't get from Nystatin. Just taking garlic and coconut oil is fine. You wouldn't need any more antifungals - " more is not better. " Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clove oil is also very good. Bee Personally, I don't find oregano oil (or coconut oil) as effective as raw crushed garlic - I am using the healthy-health brand oil or oregano, which has a high (84+%) of carvacol and is derived from wild mountain grown oregano - and I know it's a good one because I checked it with Bee before I bought it - but the die-off I experience from it is very mild - none of the skin rashes or stomach cramps that i experience when I use raw crushed garlic, instead I get mild headaches, the ever-present gas, and occasionally some fatigue. I'm a bit torn - on the one hand I'm HAPPY that the die-off is mild, but at the same time wonder if I am making enough progress as I would if I were using more raw crushed garlic? For example, I had some raw crushed garlic last week, and it was as if a bomb had been dropped in my stomach as soon as I'd taken it - followed by immediate bloating and gas, then a week long rash on my face. I don't want to go through that all the time, but at least I know it was doing the job! I've even increased the amount of oregano oil I am taking each day, but the die-off hasn't increased. Any thoughts? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? ==>Hi Mike. I believe that raw crushed garlic is better than oregano oil too, but I list oregano oil along with garlic because so many people don't want to deal with garlic breath and odor. I'd rather they take oregano oil if they have back off on taking garlic, and take it consistently, than try to take garlic but are inconsistent.

It's worked - I only use oil of oregano at the moment, and my skin is amazing, only one single acne spot, and of the eczema, I have only a bit of dry skin (which is taken away by applying coconut oil) but none of the usual overall redness or blotches. Unheard of for me - I look and feel a different person! So I'm thriving at the moment on your candida plan and using my common sense not to overdo it, as I have done in the past. Saying all that, I think it will set my mind at ease to take half a clove of raw crushed garlic consistently once every day, or maybe every other day from now on (in addition to the oil of oregano), and see how I react to it - because at the end of the day, I DO want to kill of my candida, but I don't want skin rashes on my face anymore while I do so. Less is definitely better for me! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no problem taking oregano oil in a gelatin capsule, or taking it in oil or hot water. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Liane (WA - Australia) ----- Hi Liane I'm in WA - Australia too. Have you actually been able to find Oregano Oil in Australia? I wasn't able to find it at all. I bought mine from www.healthy-health.com and it's powerful stuff. Their fact sheet says it contains over 86.9% Carvacrol, which is a bit higher than what their web site says at 84.5%. Either way, that's a high percentage of the working ingredient. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi Liane I really like the " Healthy-Health " brand someone mentioned on this site. I just recently got some, it is much stronger (84% carvacrol) than the other brand I was using and cheaper too. They have a sale going on now, buy two get one free!!! I don't know if they ship to Oz though but you could check it out. http://www.healthy-health.com/site/844294/page/531035 Shirley >From: Liane Hogan <liane@...> >I was just wondering if anybody has a favourite brand for this ?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I took Oregano Oil also, because I read Dr. Cass's book " the Cure is in the Cupboard " and another one by him. But it was at a time I was having weird things happening to how I was feeling last year, about a year ago. So quit it at the suggestion of at 1st Chinese Herbs. As she couldn't find any real good info on it and felt I was trying to take too many things anyway, which could have affected my Buhner protocol. Jim. ### purple ffoxglove <purpleffoxglove@...> wrote: Someone asked if anyone takes Oregano oil and what are their reactions. I take an Oregano oil pill fairly often in the evening, partly because i heard it's antibiotic, and partly for osteoporosis. According to a 2003 Swiss report in " Bone " journal, essential oils of thyme, oregano, and sage inhibit osteoclast activity. So I drink sage tea in the evening and take an oregano oil pill --- just one of the many things i do for osteoporosis. I have no idea if it works. My last Bone Density Scan last month showed bone growth -- an improvement. Side effects --- On some mornings I think i feel a slightly irritated nasal lining, then i remember I took an Oregano oil pill last night, and I blame it. That's all. ------purpleffoxglove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 > > Where is the best place to purchase oregano oil online? > thanks, > susan ==>Remember not to start on a strong antifungal like oregano oil too soon. First do the diet and take all of the supplements, (also start on coconut oil right away, which is antifungal) and after you are able to take 6 tbls of coconut oil and you have gotten through a lot of the die-off symptoms you can start on antifungals. Starting them too early will cause die-off/healing symptoms that will be intolerable, and not necessary. Natural healing takes time, patience, and persistence in giving your body the nutrients it requires in order to heal. For more info on oregano oil brands, etc. see our Group's Files (left menu) and looks for the " Candida Antifungals " Folder. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" > > Could i increase the oregano to 3 drops 10 times a day? > if i work my way up slowly and dont experience detox is this safe to do? ==>Yes, you can increase it gradually to that amount, but take the higher amount no longer than 10 days. Do not be concerned about experiencing detox/die-off (which probably will occur) unless the symptoms become intolerable. In that case, cut back on the amount and increase them over a longer period of time. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I bought a bottle of oregano oil (Oreganol) $20 for .27 oz bottle I have had a flat wart for close to 15 years and oregano oil is supposed to get rid of flat warts. I apply a drop once to 4 times per day and have done this since november. It has not gotten smaller or gone away. It has not increased in size either.
