Hello Anne..

Things are not good for you today? would you like some help / discussion /

anything that would make you feel better? I think we all have our bad moments

with the program.....I've been through some really hard times mentaly and

physicaly. Please let me / us know in which way we could help you. You are not

alone here.

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

job!!!

I guess cause coconut oil will not kill all of it.....I guess....

+++Hi Anne. I believe Marisa has been on the program longer than you have, so

you too will have good news to share as you progress.

You don't have to take another antifungal than coconut oil (CO) since taking

more antifungals, other than CO, aren't necessarily going to speed up healing.

I've learned a lot since writing my recommendations, so I am considering

changing two things: eliminating the antifungals other than coconut oil and

eliminating probiotics.

The more I learn from people on my program, the more I realize how important

" proper nutrients " are for building up the immune system, rebalancing all

nutrient levels, etc. Candida is only cured by building up the immune system,

so healing will occur even if you don't take antifungals other than coconut oil.

Also your body will create the probiotics it needs when it is capable of doing

so.

Another question mulling around in my head is, like

coconut oil that doesn't have to be refrigerated,

why would oil of oregano need to be refrigerated,

if it is both an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial,

nothing's gonna grow in it?

Hi Bee I'm wondering about oregano oil as well. There seems to be controversy

over the use of essential oils internally. This is the response I recieved from

Mediherb about: Generally speaking the oral dosing of pure essential oils is not

recommended. Not all essential oils are suitable for ingestion and for the ones

that are correct dosing is essential. Also some extractions of certain essential

oils can contain very toxic compounds and these need to be tested for before an

oil can be used internally.> We have used essential oils in a few of our

products and these products are perfectly safe and very efficacious when

prescribed and dose according to our recommendations.> I would not recommend

prescribing essential oils for oral dosing unless the practitioner is very well

trained in the oral dosing of essential oils.> > Are there specific brands which

you recommend Bee which are free of contaminants? I have mailed manufacturers

without any reply so far. Regards> Jillaine

[Guest guest]

I think that Mediherb is talking about essential oils like " Lavender Oil "

and " Tea tree oil " - because Oil of Oregano is often used and I use it on

my kids instead of antibiotics when they have infections, it has killed

strep throat, upper respiratory infections and even ear infections (but

don't put it in the ear you take it by mouth).

Dear Mia and Bee,

Thanks Mia. I have put one drop of wild oregano oil into capsules of olive oil

and am keen to give them a try.

Bee and Moderators- I have recieved and read all directions for posting on your

site thank you. I have also read some of the files- thanks Bee for the oregano

article. i'm getting the hang of this I think.

Hi Jillaine,

I know you are new to the group, so I am just wondering if you are up to 6Tbsp.

of coconut oil yet. If not, you should wait until you are before adding oil of

oregano to your regime. Oil of oregano is quite a powerful antifungal.

With this program, 'more is not better' and it could really overwhelm your

system if you start taking it too soon. My husband did this (despite the

warnings!) and he got really sick.

+++Hi Roy. Some essential oils, like oil of oregano, also contain olive oil, so

you need to refrigerate it because the olive oil in it can go rancid.

with oil of oregano-I called the bio alternatives and ordered a 1 oz. bottle.

This is my hope - they had 2 different choices-w/olive oil or with grape seed

oil. I ordered the one with the olive oil. Gosh, I hope this was the right

choice. Please let me know. Thank you.

Hey Phyllis

Mine is the one with olive oil.I think this is the one we are supposed to have.

Bee knows better of course.....

Hope your acne will get better. I put the coconut oil + oil of oregano mix 2-3

times when I see a skin breakout starting to appear. In 1-2 days it is gone. In

the past my face used to look terrible (custic acne with huge breakouts). Also

my scars are almost gone. good luck

Like Phyliss, I'm also dealing with acne and will also try the coconut

oil/oregano oil mixture.

For me, this acne is sudden. I always had very clear skin, but the past few

months I get pimples everywhere, especially around my eyes and chin and they

don't see to go away.

Did your acne started as a result of starting Bee's diet and eliminating toxins?

I understand that this is a sign that the toxins are leaving my body, so just

wondering is it a good idea to put something on the pimples to make them go

away? I keep reading that we don't want to do something to " mask " symptoms.

Sorry, not sure if this even applies here...

Basically, if I put something on my skin to clear up the pimples (and believe me

that would make me VERY happy:), but will this interfere with the toxins trying

to leave my body through the skin ? Not sure if the oils actually " stop " the

toxins or if they work differently to heal acne.

Any thought on this, because I am ready to go buy my oil of oregano too?!!!!

Thanks,

Donna

+++Hi Donna. Direct treatments won't necessarily stop pimples or any other skin

issues due to toxins being released. No, you won't be interfering with toxins

leaving your body that way by applying oil of oregano or cod liver oil. Oils

don't stop toxins from being released. However, oil of oregano will readily

absorb through your skin so it could increase your die-off symptoms like any

antifungal does, so be cautious about applying too much or too often.

That's why I think cod liver oil is better to apply to the skin.

I got 2 oz with the Olive Oil from Bio-Alternatives a few months ago. However

when I ordered it I was under the impression from their literature and from

Bee's recommendation in the files section, that the solution was 85% Carvacrol.

I've run out of it and it's now time to reorder, so I looked at the bottle and

noticed it's a " proprietary blend " and Olive Oil is listed as the first

ingredient, with Oil of Oregano 85% Carvacrol as the second ingredient. There is

no way to tell from this how diluted the mixture is (other than knowing there is

more Olive Oil in it than Oil of Oregano, because Olive Oil is listed first).

Knowing the actual concentration of Carvacrol in the " blend " is important in

order to compare its value in relation to other products out there. Since Olive

Oil is listed as the first ingredient, you can deduce that Olive Oil is greater

than 50% and Oil of Oregano is less than 50%, and from that the concentration of

Carvacrol in the blend must be less than 42.5 %. Their website says to email

with questions, so I've emailed them twice in the past 3 weeks asking what the

ratio actually is but they do not answer. Other products out there may be better

value depending on their ratio of Olive Oil to Oil of Oregano and actual

Carvacrol concentration. If I ever get an answer I will post it here.

> Hi Bee and group! I purchased an oil of oregano from bio alternatives about 5

weeks ago--right before I became strict with thiis program. I was informed from

a different member that this may not be an ideal oregano because olive oil is

the 1st ingredient. this bottle is only 1oz. and I hate to waste.

ingredients:extra virgin olive oil,wild harvested mediterranean oregano oil(85%

carvacol minimum). would this be ok to use on my acne mixed with the coco oil? I

do hope so but will follow what you advise. I'm not ready for this internally-by

that time I would buy whatever is more recommended.

+++Hi Phyllis. Most oil of oregano brands do contain olive oil, so that product

is okay. My oil of oregano contains 75% carvacol, which is the active substance

in oregano, so 85% is even better.

Pure oil of oregano is not only very expensive (my friend paid $125.00 Canadian

for 10 ml), but also extremely strong. She put 1 drop in a capsule in order to

take it - 1 drop equals 3 drops of the regular kind.

Bio-Alternatives uses deceptive advertising... they say 85% but that is the

carvacol content before dilution with olive oil. Since they list olive oil as

the first ingredient, and O of O 85% carvacol as the second ingredient, you have

no way of knowing how much olive oil they use other than it has to be more than

the O of O content. They have not answered my many questions concerning the

actual resulting carvacol content after dilution. Whenever you see the words

" proprietary blend " then you should be wary. I've been looking at other sources

that do tell you how much they dilute and exactly how much carvacol content you

are getting. One sent me a free sample bottle of their extra strength. They list

O of O as the first ingredient, and they tell exactly the amount of olive oil

they add. The result is a little less than 50% carvacol. They sent me a sample

bottle of their product, and I can tell you from smell and " heat " factor, this

is much more potent than Bio-Alternatives. So read any company's claims very

carefully and analyze what they are really saying. Don't get me wrong, the

Bio-Alternatives O of O still works, it got rid of my nail fungus. It's just

that there are better deals out there if you analyze exactly what you are

getting as far as carvacol content, for the dollar you spend.

I don't have a favorite yet, but what I've found most promising

so far searching the web, and asking questions:

www.se1.us/health/oregano/

Pure Oil of Oregano, 85% Carvacrol, I verified with them by email that pure

means pure and it is the right kind of O of O. $20 for 1 oz.

www.healthy-health.com

I verified with email theirs is diluted slightly with Olive Oil but pure Oil of

Oregano is the first ingredient, and after dilution with Olive Oil the

concentration is at least 41% Carvacrol, sometimes up to 50% or more, depending

on the strength of the batch of O of O they use to make their product at the

time. They give all the details needed to calculate strength on their website.

Buy 2 one oz. bottles get 1 free $57.90. They also have an extra strength

version that is even stronger - see their website. This is the place that sent

me the sample that appears to be much stronger than the Bio-Alternatives

product.

Saying again, the Bio-Alternatives product will work fine. In fact you will need

to dilute these stronger products just to use them without burning. It's just

when you compare actual Carvacrol content to the dollars you spend, you find one

product will go a much longer ways and you can do most of the diluting yourself,

rather than buying a product that is already much diluted.

Ok to use, yes, but it's not the most potent blend on the market for the money.

It shows to be mixed with Olive Oil with 1 part Oil of Oregano to 4 parts Olive

Oil, which would yield only 20% Carvacrol.

Dosage? I'm not sure. It amazes me that most all the Oil of Oregano products out

there list the same dosing, 4 drops under the tongue (usually twice a day) or 3

drops (3 times a day), yet they vary so widely in strength. Seems the dose

should be related to % Carvacrol of the product.
