<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0"> Ok so last night I tried Oil of Oregano for the first time. I didn't get the "Hot Body" thing that I was told to exspect. But about an hour or so after taking it I had a coughing attact which was followed by vomitting. All I coughed/vomitted up was mucus...is that normal? Has anyone else had this happen to them while taking Oil of Oregano?

Wow. I haven't taken OO yet, but I can say that I often vomit up all mucus from coughing so much in general. It's really gross, but I always know that that is what is about to happen and I go with it b/c so much comes up. I usually feel much clearer afterwards too. But my experience is unrelated to OO.

That never happened to me, but I guess it makes since if you have a ton of mucous throughout your lungs/body. I'd say give it a few more tries atleast, give the stuff enough time to try and clear you out, but if it's still like this and this bad after say a week and you aren't benefitting, stop taking it. I always recommend people give it a good month of real sustained non sporadic use to see if it helps them or not, and if not, stop. But if it still sends you over the moon after a week, might wanna stop.

That happened to my bro the first time too. We decided to start slow, nebbing 1x per day with 2 or 3 drops at first, then slowly increase. I don't know how much you are doing now...but that worked for him.

Yeah on some people it can be pretty rough, similar to a high sodium % of hypertonic saline I suppose. Me personally, unless it's pure pepper spray or tear gas, i'm probably ok with it. Start low like Kimmie said and after a while when your tolerance for it has leveled out, add some more. I do 6 drops each time I neb now, and will stay at this amount, but it wasn't always like that. I think I started at 3, then went to 5, now im at 6.

Just curious Sean.....you started out lower & increased to be sure of your tolerance? Or did you feel eventually the lower amount was doing enough?

I started out lower to at first see if I could tolerate it, and there is no recommended dosing for inhalation. 6 drops per neb is pretty strong, even for me, and I feel great now, so don't see any point in raising it.

Nebbing? I just add 2 drops to whatever I am drinking....</end quote></div>

There are several ways to take it. Personally I feel nebbing it is the best way to get strong results with CF. Others neb it, some inhale it via facial sauna, others take it sublingually, and others add it to juice/food etc, and some apply it topically. I think that due to how bad our lung bugs are, direct inhalation is the best way to go, but the other ways offer some benefit also.
