Make no assumptions .. we already know the seller doesn't know what they

are selling - or they don't care. If you write me - offline or on - I

can give you my opinion of whether that company should be believed at

all. The issue of Thymus capitatus being from Turkey need not be

discussed as it is NOT an oil produced here. We have the plant but not

in a quanity sufficient to produce a commercial oil and I know EVERY

Turkish distiller and their brother .. nobody is producing it here.

 

There is another company selling Turkish Jasmine Absolute .. a British

company. The last Jasmine produced in Turkey was in summer 1986 by my

good friend and distiller, Namit Mumcuoglu .. in fact, Namit was the

only person to EVER produce it commercially here. As a matter of trivia

... Mumcuoglu means .. Son of the Candlemaker .. ;-p

My opinion is .. you probably would benefit most by discarding it since

you can only question what it really is. ;-p Really, you don't need to

dump it .. use it for disinfecting things around the house.

An interesting site .. France has a different mentality toward EOs than

does the USA and French AT practitioners are a different breed of cat

too.

I sell oils to France but there are few I would buy from there - my

French wildgrown high altitude Lavender is an exception .. it tested

fine. I see that they say .. " Spanish Oregano (Thymus capitatus) is

more effective against Staphylococcus aureus (vaginal sample) than

French Oregano (Origanum sylvestris). " Not sure if that's a strong

statement as I'm not sure how powerful this O. sylvestris is .. it is a

sub-species or maybe even a cultivar but it's not all that

recognizable. BUT - I do have scientific studies showing that O.

onites, O. vulgare and O. dubium totally destroy a number of Streps and

Staphs. For those who might not know, staph is what kills folks in

hospitals - it lives there and is one of the reasons some folks don't do

so well in hospitals .. :-(

Haw Haw He He .. ;-p As for the Olive Oil .. it is a prize winner for

sure .. see http://www.AV-AT.com/oliveoil.html

 

As for the Origanum vulgare 71.3% .... it's sold out in wholesale and

retail. Having more distilled now but it will be more than a month

afore it gets to Maryland. I do have O. dubium 71.8% and O. onites

68.11% and there is NO DIFFERENCE in these oils as for therapeutic value

- you can see them at http://www.AV-AT.com/prices.html

 

> Thanks for being patient with this old gal.

 

What patience? I'm not patient ... and I betcha I was born afore you

and I am not old ... I am, however, a gud ol' kuntry boy ... ;-p

And to y'all .. and keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
