Oil of Oregano

[Guest guest]

Deb, you only need to take one antifungal other than coconut oil and

Pau D'Arco tea. Taking too many kinds at once, or taking too high of

doses does not make the body get well any quicker, and it can

overwhelm and confuse the body slowing progress. Re-read the Anti-

Fungal Section of my newly revised article.

[Guest guest]

Sorry Deb I forgot to answer your other question. For the source of

Oil of Oregano see the Antifungal Folder for an article which lists

brands, websites, prices, recommended brands, etc.

I have taken Oil of Oregano in enteric-coated capsules. No smell - or, hardly

any smell.

I added it to the list in the Antifungal Folder; Oil of Oregano File.

I looks like the best one so far for quality plus price!

Enjoy! Bee

==>Yes it is die-off. When candida is being killed off it puts out

loads of toxins which have to be handled by the liver, and in the

intestines they put out carbon dioxide (gas), and it can even change

your heartbeat and many other functions. Die-off is described as a flu-

like feeling.

> I would have expected this to get better with each day, as more

candida dies off ... Am I taking too much? I have been doing the diet,

though more strictly in the last 4 weeks, and taking the supplements

for a good year now.

==>Nicola, did you try to start on antifungals too soon? Four weeks is

definitely too short a time to expect to get better. Curing candida is

not a steady uphill climb where you feel better and better every day.

There will be lots of ups and downs. As your body gets stronger it will

also do natural healing wherever it is needed, and your body will re-

trace any previous symptoms, illnesses, diseases, injuries, etc. and

heal them as well. Read articles in the Healing Naturally Folder to

understand more about what is happening with you and what to expect.

==>The diet and supplements all by themselves will kill off a lot of

candida, and after that subsides antifungals are started to kill off

even more. Also I do not recommend oil of oregano capsules -

get " real " oil of oregano and put drops in gelatin capsules if you

wish. When you start on antifungals (you should only take 1 of the 3 I

list; however coconut oil and Pau D'Arco are started along with the

diet) you should be up to 5-6 tbls. of coconut oil.

I'm with you Pat, Survival Enterprises pure undiluted Oregano Oil has

been the best I have tried so far, the most potent, very effective and

at $20.00 an ounce is the best price I have found. In most cases I

dilute it 1:10 with extra virgin olive as it is too powerful to use

undiluted in most cases. I keep it on my nightstand and use 5 drops

under my tongue every night before I go to sleep.

Survival Enterprises website to order - www.se1.us

Infinity Oregano Oil (1 ounce)

100% pure and undiluted! This is the strongest Oregano Oil on the

market with an average 85% carvacral rating!

$20.00

mountainroseherbs.com has little dropper bottles and little jars that

are very handy to put your diluted oregano oil or oregano coconut oil

in to use. I like the cobalt blue ones myself. :-)

Hope this helps.:-D

Happy New Year!

==>Wow Debra and Pat. That does seem like impressive Oregano Oil.

Can one of you email me the particulars, like the ones I listed in the

Oil of Oregano file, so I can add it to our list? Doesn't 1 ounce

equal 15 ml?

and has to be shipped, as long as someone orders enough stuff in one

shipment.

My Chiro uses Oregonal by North American Herb & Spice and also sometimes uses

the Young Living line (peppermint, oregano, basil) to warm the muscles.

Any thoughts on these two brands as that is what I already have in my cabinet.

Use and then switch? or are either of these brands okay?

Thanks,

Pam

==>Hi Pam. This is from my article Oil of Oregano about North

American Herb & Spice's oil of oregano: (this company has brand names

like Oregacyn, Oregamax & Oreganol; the last two are blends that are

not recommended): 42% Oregacyn (whatever that is). They claim their

oil contains the " only true " oregano, which is questionable, because

they say any oil of oregano that contains thymol is dangerous, however

that is not true as noted in the books cited above. They have varying

strengths available; .45 of an ounce (25 ml) $20.99 up to 1 ounce of

the extra strength $54.99. See the complete article at:

==>Hi there . That's wonderful you finally got oil of oregano.

You must be doing a good job of sticking to the diet if you don't have

many symptoms from the oil of oregano. Very well done !

==>No you do not want to increase doses. More is not better! The idea

with natural healing is to nudge the body towards health but not to

overwhelm it. Just be consistent with your doses.

been reading about candidas and saw that oil of oregano is good for

Well I have put the oil under my tongue for a couple of days

==>Hi . Welcome to our group! It appears as if you are

definitely suffering from candida/yeast overgrowth. All of your

symptoms are caused by candida.

Where to start? The best thing to do is to read and learn first.

Then you will understand what you need to do and why. Start with my

article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " ;

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2_8.php

Also print out the 2nd article on that list: " Curing Candida, How to

et Started. Then go to the Diet Section for the food lists:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2_2.php

Next go to the supplements section:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2_4.php

You will be very happy you learned about this program. It is

designed to build up the immune system which is the only way you can

cure candida.

Natural antifungals like oil of oregano, garlic, etc. do NOT kill off

nor diminish good bacteria in the gut. I've heard this crazy statement

many times and it is totally false!

IF " it were true " our ancestors wouldn't have made it; the human race

would have been wiped out by fungal overgrowth eons ago since many

cultures only used herbs and spices to treat their illnesses.

It's drugs and toxins that wipe out good bacteria.

Hi April - Yes- get oil of oregano - the essential oil is for

smelling, not consuming. I found a great one at whole foods if you

don't want to order online.

Good Luck Lady!

==>Hi April. It is difficult to sort out what is the correct oil to

take internally and what isn't. Essential oils are okay to take

internally if they are pure and 100% and if they are properly

processed. Aromatherapy oils are in general not okay for internal

use. The NOW brand 100% clove oil is okay to use; I can't recall how

it is labelled. I use it internally but I have to get my health store

to order it for me since they do not stock it on the shelves. There

are 2 sizes, and the large size is cheaper in the long run.

Different oiil of oregano brands contain different strengths of wild

oregano, with some being diluted with olive oil more than others. See

the article which lists brands and their content on my website. Some

people put oil of oregano drops in gelatin capsules because it is quite

strong to take directly in the mouth.

With most brands can be diluted 50/50 with coconut oil or extra virgin

olive oil. If you read the Oil of Oregano article it will explain a

lot about diluting and using it.

I do not suggest you rely on messages on the group totally unless they

are written by me, since the best information is on my website. You

can use the search engine there to find any information:

+++Hi Genevieve. Nature's Answer oil of oregano is not a good

quality one since it only contains 54% carvacrol, whereas good

quality brands contain at least 75%. It would be better to buy a

good quality brand that contains at least 75% carvacrol - see the

brands listed at the end of this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/anti6.php

+++You need to take more of your brand to get enough - I can't do the

calculation right now, but maybe you can figure it out.

+++Yes, you can put drops of oil of oregano in gelatin capsules to

take them.

+++a, like I wrote yesterday oil of oregano does not burn like

sunburns or burning your skin on a hot iron does. There are many

herbs that are very hot, and they produce heat but they do not

actually " burn. " I don't know where such false information comes

from, but it isn't the wildest thing I've heard.

Gelatin capsules usually dissolve in the stomach, and that's a good

thing, since it will kill off candida in the stomach. Oil of oregano

also alleviates an upset stomach.

Hi Bee,

I got your reply yesterday so I am not sure if my question posted twice.

There was no " false information " - it was something my husband asked when I

mentioned I got some on my fingers and how much it burned. I was just

curious.

>Gelatin capsules usually dissolve in the stomach, and that's a good

>thing, since it will kill off candida in the stomach. Oil of oregano

>also alleviates an upset stomach.

I had read and was hoping it would help with C. Diff. but isn't C. Diff. in

the intestines? I know the immune system needs to be strengthened for C.

Diff. and candida to be turned back into their normal state in the body, but

I am not getting anywhere with diet and the supplements alone. If anything,

I feel worse than ever. For the past two months I have had a distended

abdomen that makes me look like I am pregnant. It's there all day long and

by evening, after I have eaten two or three meals it's stretched so far out

that it hurts. So I am trying to figure out what is going on.

Thanks,

+++Youy abdomen is distended from gas and bloating caused by candida,

and other bugs, that produce carbon dioxide (gas).

+++The reason you wouldm't get anywhere is because you aren't

following the program correctly, or because of stresses, toxins, etc.

+++All of the supplements in the amounts recommended are important

too. If you take other things than recommended, eat off-diet foods,

are exposed to other toxins, etc. the body can shut down its healing

mechanisms.

Another good news story everyone seems to be getting better today except me, why

do you have to take another antifungal if the coconut oil is doing the job!!!

Subject: [ ] oil of oregano

Date: Sunday, 12 April, 2009, 9:26 PM

Hello Bee, moderators and group. I hope you are all doing well.

I am currently taking 6tbs of coconut oil (I am on my 3rd month following the

diet + supplements 100%)and I am not having any die off any more. I was thinking

about starting oil of oregano (low doses for the begining as it is described in

Bee's site ).

I just wanted to ask if this is going to be very harder than coconut oil...I

read that coconut oil is a mild antifungal and that oil of oregano is a strong

one. This is scaring me a little bit.....Coconut oil gave me some bad die off

and kept me off my work some days. Should I expect much stronger reactions from

oil of oregano?

This week is Easter for us. Should I start it later, so as not to be sick during

these days?

I know that I can stop it if I have too bad die off. I just need some

encouragement to start it.

I definately understand that everyone is different. I would just like it very

much if someone could share with me his experience from starting oil of oregano

(or any other strong antifungal that Bee recommends).

Thank you very much.

I am still doing really great on this program and never want to quit it! Bee you

definately saved me!!!

[Guest guest]

I am using clove oil for the additional antifungal. I did experience die-off

symptoms in the form of wooziness. Take it slow, don't increase the drops until

you're not having any die-off. I was a little apprehensive, too, but I didn't

find it that bad.

I should also mention that I had severe indigestion for days on end after I

started the clove oil. However, after experimenting, I found that the clove oil

was NOT the cause.

H (I'm adding and initial, too, since it looks like there is another

on the forum)

Hi Marisa,

If you don't feel like having extra die-off this week during your Easter

celebrations, wait another week to start taking the oil of oregano.

The oil of oregano is quite a powerful antifungal and can cause you more

die-off. I don't want to scare you. It's just if you are feeling pretty good

and just want to be with your friends and family, it's not going to hold you

back by waiting another week. Just continue with what you are doing now.

My husband went a little nuts in the beginning and thought that 'more was

better' and started taking oil of oregano when he was only able to comfortably

take about 2 Tbsp. of coconut oil (despite me telling him over and over again

not to!) and he had a major healing crisis which kept him home from work for

almost 2 weeks. I think he learned his lesson not to go overboard! LOL!

I don't think it's any worse than the coconut oil was when you first started

taking it, but it is powerful, so start out slowly when you do decide to go for

it.

It's good to hear you are doing so well!
