Down in the Trenches

I spent the better part of 1995-1996 investigating the therapeutic values of wild Oregano, and publishing the first book on its health benefits called, The Cure is in The Cupboard. I call wild Oregano nature's most versatile essential oil. Oregano oil is a power-house for: Fighting yeast, fungus (skin and blood-born) Knocking out allergies, hay fever and sinusitis And stopping infections (cold and flu). I learned about its strength first hand, as I suffered from a blood-born fungal infection that incapacitated me several years ago. I had to close my practice and move home to live. I tried everything, and ultimately discovered the potent antiseptic activity of wild Oregano. It put me back on my feet.

Of late, the antiallergic feedback I have received has been most impressive. Although the oil of Oregano has been used since ancient times to fight yeast, fungal and viral infections, Oregano's ability to wipe out allergies, runny nose, sinusitis and nasal drip has taken me by surprise. Anti Allergy Properties

Please understand, you are not going to get any better eating a pizza! Wild, crude, mountain grown Oregano (from the Mediterranean) is the -- only kind -- that is naturally rich in 'Carvacrols Flavonoids and Terpenes' which give the Oregano its tremendous strength. Carvacrol is a natural phenol which contains powerful anti microbial activity. Flavonoids provide natural antiseptic properties, and Terpenes (long chain hydrocarbons) are natural anti-inflammatory agents. Natural Decongestant

I consider Carvacrol, Flavonoids and Terpenes to be mother nature's antihistamines and decongestants. In my book, I review a case whereby a man, 6 foot 4 inches and 250 pounds, was suffering in his own secretions (from an allergy attack). Four drops of the Oil of Oregano put him back on his feet in five minutes! The oil I use and recommend, made by North American Herb and Spice Company has over 70% Carvacrol by weight. That is a abundance of healing power. Please beware of cheap imitations, only this brand is 100% pure, wild Oregano oil. It may be use internally and topically. Other brands of Oregano oil are often unsafe and adulterated. Modern Uses of Oregano

As we enter into another allergy season every potential suffererneeds to know that wild Oregano is capable of halting your next allergy in its tracks. I use it to fight allergies, and you should too, because it's effective, reliable and safe. Over the counter drugs have side effects, and they are not your only option. This season and try the natural approach first. Don't be a victim of allergies anymore. Wild Oregano overpowers them every time. How to Use Oregano

Keep in mind, wild Oregano also knocks out fungus and infection. There are two ways to take the wild Oregano: in the form of capsules (Oregamax Capsules), and oil (Oil of Oregano). Use the Oregano Oil topically to fight fungal infections of the nail bed, athlete's foot, psoriasis and other stubborn skin disorders. And always take the crushed herb (Oregamax Capsules) internally (A few daily) to attack the infection from every angle. The Oil of Oregano may also be used internally (taken under the tongue), to infiltrate the body with Oregano's antiseptic healing properties. I call wild Oregano Oil a 'Medicine Chest in a Bottle,' and every medicine chest is incomplete without this versatile essential oil

Dr. Cass Igram recommends the Oil of Oregano (.5 fluid oz.) and Oregamax Capsules (90 per bottle). Note: Nutrition World sells only the brand Dr. Igram uses. Both the Oregano Oil and capsules are about a 30 day supply. Their Url is http://www.nutritionworld.com/oreganol/index.html

Testimonial from Jackie Juntti:

I have used the Oil of Oreganol internally for some time but only recently (the last couple of weeks) read the book and learned of the healing power EXTERNALLY.

My right elbow has been very painful and inflamed (all puffed up) for some time. I took a couple drops (you don't need more than that in most cases) and softly rubbed it over the elbow area. In about half an hour the swelling had gone down and the pain for the most part had left!!! I did this again the next few days and now the elbow is almost pain free and no swelling at all!! Soft & gentle is the key - do not rub it in hard... no need to do that. You want the oil to absorb into the area.

I also tried it on my right hip which has been extremely painful for about a year. I was having a hard time sleeping on my right side because of the pain in the hip. I now can sleep on my right side without any pain.

As you know I have been going in for deep tissue massage once a week to relief the pain, knots, and scar tissue in my right shoulder and going up into my neck. Even though the massage therapists have been VERY good they have all commented about not ever working on anyone with such a resistant set of muscles as I have. After applying the Oil to that area - the therapist commented to me last week that the muscles seem to have softened some from how they have been. Also, the pain that has been emanating from the shoulder up to my skull has almost gone away.

I have also applied the Oil to my chest in hopes of improving my breathing - It is helping.

Another area I am finding it to be healing is a couple varicose veins on my leg. More info on this in the book.

I am still taking it under my tongue twice a day (5 drops or so) but the external application has definitely made marked improvements and in a couple areas - the pain has gone away.

Since I have had such terrific results I want to share this with you and I would hope that you would get the book and see all the things this works on. Then buy the Oil - please get the brand on Ingram's page and don't settle for a *cheaper brand*. I know this brand works!!! The book can be found on the web and the oil and the book can be purchased at most all Health Food stores.

I can't express how much I appreciate the good from this Oil - when you live with pain as I have and to find something NATURAL that really works!!!! well, you want to share that with others.
