Oregano oil can exasperate lung bleeds due to its blood thinning properties. Not a good idea for Diane, since she is prone to severe hemoptysis.

Thank you everyone for the support <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">. I was so down and depressed yesterday, but today i am back up and ready to come out swinging<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif" border="0">

~ Melissa, I dont know if the iv antifungals would be different than what i am on now or if it would be the same meds just in iv form.

~ Peter My mom was mentioning oregano oil to me as well, but i couldnt remember why i decided not to try that in the past so i was gonna do some research on it till i saw Johns post above and remembered right away that with hemoptysis it isnt a good idea.........Thanks John <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> But thank you Peter for the suggestion<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> , without hemoptysis probs. i would have tried that next.

Again, thanks for any support you all have given me <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">. Telling this to my friends here at home isnt the same. They ( not all ,but some) have no idea why this upsets me and i think its almost comical when i get told to not dwell on it and just forget about it. lol

I wanted to also mention some good points . My pft's surprised me. last time they were 45% and i was feeling pretty good, yesterday i was feeling prettty crappy and they were 43% so that really helped to keep my spirits up a little. Also the fungus ball has not grown, thank GOD! The odd symptoms i was having when i was first diagnosed have gone away which is also a good sign. The ferocious tickle that wouldnt stop, making me cough for 10 minutes straight sometimes several times a day has finally gone ...YAYYYYY ................the waking up at night to cough out a lot of crap has stopped, i can sleep again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> so maybe we are going in the right direction with the dosing change. But like Mandy said i am not liking this drugs side effects. BUT if it gets rid of the fungus ball , i guess i will learn to like it.

Oregano oil is a mild anti coagulant! Which means it can cause bleeding if you take too much.

My history is that I have had dozens of partial lung collapses over the years and a few very mild bleeds.

If you take Oregano Oil you need to make sure you are taking a vitamin K supplement to guard against bleeding. The more Oregano Oil the more Vit. K.

I use P73 Oregano Oil in two forms. I take a daily capsule of 450 mg OregaRESP and I inhale six drops of H2 Orega with albuteral <u><b>only when I feel very junky</b></u> and my usual care does not seem to be working. I also put 4 drops under my tongue and swish it at the back of my throat if I feel a soar throat coming on. I have found these things to be very effective and I have been sick very little since I started using them.

If I take more than just my usual dose of the OregaRESP I only take my usual ADEKS to protect myself from bleeding. If I use more Oregano oil products I include a Vit. K tablet.

You can experiment with this! It all boils down to what risks you are willing to take. Do you feel comfortable with what the Doctors and drugs have done for you so far?

You can take it slow by just taking the 450mg OregaRESP capsules (it comes in smaller dose caps as well) one every other day or one a day to introduce it into your daily care.

This is a very potent antifungal!!

Best wishes and I hope your situation resolves very soon!!!

Sincerely:

Another approach is to make your body stronger by trying to reduce the causes of your bleeding problems.

Do you consume much sugar or products that contain sugar?

Eating an anti-inflammatory diet will greatly improve your health and eliminate one of the major sources of lung irritation!!

If you are interested see the great info supplied by dramamama in the thread about "anti-inflammatory diet".

Best wishes!!
