Oregano To Treat Candidia!

I just wanted to let you all know something that I am really happy about-

My Naturopath has me taking 3 capsules of Oregano 2x a day to treat Candidia. It is working wonderfully for me. She said to maintain my low carb diet with lots of veggies and some fruit during this treatment. She said it's important to have enough sugars/carbs to keep the Candidia active so it can be killed off.

I wanted to pass this on to you all as a thought. I had searched it out online before going to this lady, and it was the reccomended remedy from a naturopathic approach. Studies showed it as effective, if not more so, than perscription anti-fungals.

Just thought I'd pass on my info, and what is working for me!

Blessings,

Megan

Thanks Megan. Yes, apparently oregano oil is good, I know that Bee Wilder (Healing by Bee) recommends it. It's one of those things I've been meaning to get and haven't got around to yet. I will really have to do that.

This is great to know! How long had you been taking it before you noticed improvement?

Hi Jackie. I don't know how long Megan has been taking it for (you might have to PM her if she doesn't return to this thread) but I finally got around to getting some yesterday and even as the first dose was going down there was a heap of grumbling going on, so that was a result.

I bought some capsules because that was all I could find but will get some drops too. Apart from the benefits against Candida and its ilk, it can deal with a host of things so is worth keeping in the medicine cabinet. Studies with it have even shown it to be successful against things like MRSA and C.Diff!

Megan,

Great News! I have been taking Oregano Oil off and on for 3 mos, it gives me cramping/diarrhea! Did you have to adjust to it? I was only taking 1 a day, taking 3@ 2 times a day seems extreme-any side effects? My Oregano Oil is from NOW with 55% Carvacrol. Thanx, Donna

Hi Donna. I have been taking the oregano oil (1 twice per day) for 2 days now and I get a little cramping and have had a touch of diarrhea today.

However, I am not fazed by that, in fact it tells me that the oregano is doing its job. I suspect that it will improve given a week or two.

I am quite excited to see what happens with it over the next few weeks.

Although I am taking the capsules, i would actually quite like to get some drop because then I can not only get it right down through my whole digestive tract, but also control the amount I have. I have seen two ways to take the drops, either mixed in a spoon with some coconut oil, or dropped into a mouthful of water and then washed down with more.

I also read that it is a good idea to drink a glass or two of water gradually after taking it, to help flush 'die-off' toxins out of the body.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
