Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Hi y'all, The next day following the post I just sent to y'all .. someone said they heard a feller on the radio talking about oregano - and I wrote: ----------- The feller you're referring to is medical Dr. Cass Igram, of North American Herb & Spice, Buffalo Grove, IL. He's advertising his Oil of Oregano and Super Strength Oil of Oregano. Also has Oregamax, a combination of crushed origanum vulgare, Rhus cariaria (mountain sumac), garlic and onion - he says take two capsules a day or just empty the capsules right on your food. He also has oregano juice (a hydrolat but it doesn't say so as the public would become confused) which he says is rich in highly oxygenated compounds from high mountain oxygen, the healthiest kind! He says it's far superior to synthetically added ozone or 02 - didn't you know that? I didn't!!!!!!!! North American Herb and Spice has a couple of sister companies, " The American Institute of Curative Medicine, Perigrine Marketing Company and the Freedom House Publishing Company " , which publishes his books and brochures, one of which is, " The Cure is in the Cupboard. " He also sells Oil of Rosemary; Hercules Strength Capsules (crushed rosemary, oregano and sage), Oil of Sage; Nutri-Sense Capsules contain stabilized rice bran, rice polishings, fortified flax, lecithin, and sour grape powder; Royal Kick Capsules contain royal jelly fortified with pantothenic acid and acerola cherries; Red Sour Grape Capsules the skin, vine and leaf; Wild Power Tea contains wild strawberry leaves, wild borage an d hibiscus flowers; Oil of Myrtle; Oil of Fennel; Oil of Cumin, and finally, HerbSorb which contains crushed fenugreek seeds, cumin, coriander, black caraway and cardamom. This fellow used to be a big oregano and rosemary oil customer of mine back in 1997 - bought thousands of kilograms and it was all good oil, but today, as a result of a major dispute over our contract, I guess we wouldn't pee on each other if the other was on fire. Aside from that, and above and beyond the emotional issues of my strong dislike for him personally, I'll say that I'm convinced beyond a doubt that he's telling the truth about the therapeutic value of the oregano and rosemary oils, and I'm saying this based on a lot of personal experience and experience in observing many others who think as I do. I personally believe that the internal use of the essential oils of origanum vulgare, origanum marjorana and rosemarinus officinalis are the best thing that's happened to me as far as preventive and curative medication. If this comes across as an advertisement for Cass Igram's products, please let me know so I can wash my mouth out with dishwater. Now, the fact that he gives no safety warnings on any of his products is his problem - or is it? First, he's a trained medical doctor so he's not without knowledge of the dangers if there are dangers and secondly, if we were to analyze the products, we might find that the percentage of carrier oils he uses (mostly extra virgin olive) are so high that you could drink the whole bottle without ill effect. Maybe not - a guess. I'm reading his brochure now (sent by a friend 'cause me asking for one would be like me asking Gary Young for a listing of YL products) and I don't see the term " essential oils " at all - no where in the brochure. I posted a couple of days ago about who was making the big bucks in alternative medicine - it's those golkd who have a medical doctor certificate. Ya'll keep smilin' now - ya heah?
