Second day on Oregano

I missed yesterday (too much stuff to do) so today is pretty much my second day on it. I woke up feeling a little more congested than usual. I nebed the oregano with the hypertonic saline...lots of stuff came up. All white and frothy. Been coughing pretty much all day. It's been productive, but there is no colour to it...only white (which is a good thing, for me)....not sure if it's creating more phlegm or killing and bringing what was in my lungs...

I was able to run my 2 miles, pretty easily...so it hasn't affected my lung function yet. Waiting to see what tomorrow's like....

Keep letting us know Kiel. As i've said since day one, do yourself a favor and use it for one month, and then if after that time it hasnt really helped you at all, discontinue its use.

I recommend every CF that is fairly healthy, without any major crutches in life, they try it for a month, see how their quality of life, lung function, and general energy and well being is after that one month period. And then depending on that, make your choice. It's a simple approach, and while you might potentially risk something (being alergic to oregano, or not taking a good vitamin K supplement like you should already), you potentially stand to gain an immeasurable amount of health. It's up to you, to do your own research, talk to your doctor about it, and in turn either try it or don't.

ok...update....

Sorry, as i just moved recently, been busy looking for work and hanging out...haven't been able to talk much.

I still use the oregano, and I'm not sure if it is that or the saline, or the gsh i neb, but it def does help. if i miss one day, i can definately feel it.
I partied pretty hard for new years though, and i think it's catching up to me. Usually if i feel like the way i do, i know that i will be fairly sick in 2-3 days. I'm gonna do an extra neb with with the oils, and if i don't get sick...well we know why.

However, i also wanna get monolaurin with it...it seems through the research that it is twice as effective when combined with monolaurin. So once i get that, I'll try it and let you guys know how it goes.

Still going strong,
Kiel

Thanks dee<hr></blockquote>

just use www.google.com and start punching in logical start points for your questions. Try "Oregano oil FAQ", "Questions Oregano oil", "Oregano oil information", "Oregano oil essential oils", etc etc etc.


Also here is a great huge scientific research database search engine where you can just type in oregano oil and can look at all the hits and read for yourself: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/

I just used the above link with electronic content selected, and typed in oregano oil, and got like 3 pages of 57 scientific articles each page. Ton of information to go through and then go from there with further reasearch regarding the substance.


But a very quick explanation: It's an essential oil from mediteranean oregano (oreganum vulgare), that contains many chemical substances that can help our lungs, from massive antioxidants (to repair/protect our DNA/tissue) to double digit different expectorants. The most important parts of oregano oil are Carvacol and Thymol. Both are extremely strong natural antimicrobials, that have been used (from the plants in the past, just the specific agents later on in our time line) as biocides for a coupel thousand years. PA (the most common CF lung bacteria) is easily dispatched by those two substances (carbacol and thymol). Thyme oil also is a great essential oil for our CF needs, but it's like oregano oils opposite in it's main components. It has more Thymol than Carvacol, where oregano oil is the opposite. There are tons and tons of proven and some believed benefits to oregano oil, thyme oil, and even other essential oils, and not many well known negative aspects. The biggest negative aspects is oregano oil and thyme oil are both blood thinners, and irritants to mucous membranes.


Look into it via google and that database link I posted if you are interested. Most people I know with CF who have started using the substance, have stayed on it in one form or another, with only two or three saying they had a non life threatening side effect like headaches or upset stomache, and quit using the substance.

For a couple large threads brimming with information and opinions, just search for my name on here or oregano oil in the search field on this forum, tons of information.

As always, with any supplemental substance, do your own research, and discuss the substance with your doctor. There is a guy from this forum who has used several different essential oils that are very well known for their antimicrobial activity, that has shown no culture of pseudamonas or staph after using the oils in a facial sauna/inhaler though, which is great news for atleast one person.
