OILS: Using EO's against E-Coli (HEALTH, REMEDIES, HERBS)

September 25, 2006

Hello Everyone,

I just received this from my upline and thought I would share....

***

In light of the recent E-Coli outbreak, the following earlier research

report from Weber State University bears repeating. Use these oils (or

add Peppermint and Rosewood to a spray bottle of diluted Thieves

Cleaner) to protect against this deadly E-Coli bacteria...

Weber State University Publishes Annual Research Report

The U.S. lags behind other countries in essential oil research. Any

information coming out of research within the U.S. is welcomed indeed.

Weber State University, has recently published its Annual Research

Report on Essential Oils. The mission of the work is to identify which

oils, and/or combination of oils are effective against disease-causing

microorganisms.

The study also compared the effectiveness of two often used antibiotics,

Penicillin and Ampicillin, with 4 essential oils (two single oils and

two blends) against 2 bacteria with known high morbidity rates,

Escherichia coli (E-Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus. The four essential

oils are Cinnamon, Oregano, Immupower and Purification.

The results clearly show all 4 oils superior to both Penicillin and

Ampicillin in their ability to kill the microorganisms. In the case of

Penicillin, lysis (disintegration) of E-Coli did not occur. Apparently

this generation of bacteria strain is totally resistant to Penicillin.

Interestingly, the kill rate with essential oils went up dramatically as

more of the oil was added. This same effect, however, did not occur when

more of the antibiotics were added.

With national attention focused on E-Coli bacteria outbreaks, we want to

share a portion of another Weber State Study with you that deals with

this killer. To understand the numbers next to each oil below, it is

necessary to know something of how the study was conducted.

A small piece of paper infiltrated with essential oil was placed in a

petri dish infected with Escherichia coli. After a period of incubation,

examination revealed a dark circle around the paper indicating lysis

(disintegration) of the E-Coli. The diameter or size of the dark circle

is demonstrative of the kill ratio and referred to as the " Zone of

Inhibition " (Through replication, researchers know that E-Coli cannot

grow in this zone).

Measured in millimeters (mm), the Zone of Inhibition was noted for each

of 67 different oils tested. There were nine oils with a Zone of

Inhibition measuring 25 mm or larger, meaning these oils are most

effective against E-Coli.

They are:

Rosewood 40 mm

Cinnamon Bark 32 mm

Peppermint 30 mm

Thyme 30 mm

Ravensara 30 mm

Oregano 30 mm

Mtn. Savory 30 mm

Lavender 25 mm

By mixing Peppermint and Rosewood with a ratio of 1 part Peppermint to 8

parts Rosewood, researchers discovered the Zone of Inhibition for E-Coli

increased to 50 mm.

This is wonderful news as one begins to speculate how commerce might

employ these oils to insure the safety of our food supply. One in

particular, Peppermint oil, caught our attention. Already in use as a

food additive, health conscious consumers may consider spraying

countertops, sinks, fruits and vegetables with Peppermint oil diluted in

water, as a safeguard against the possibility of E-Coli infected food.

The Weber State study is important because it confirms that essential

oils play a vital role in the health and well-being of mankind.

(Also, Dr. Hill stated at a recent NingXia Red Tour the oil, Ledum is

effective in removing E-Coli from the kidneys. ~Debra Raybern)
