Oregano Essential Oils vs Oil of Oregano

[Guest guest]

Hey Butch! Thanks so much for all of the information! And sorry again to

not label the posts in seperate e~mails! Oh! I am not wanting to sell

anything in capsules! I just need to be able to explain to people the

difference between the EO and what they are buying at the store or online.

Love, Paris

It should be .. and it normally starts as the same thing .. but there is

one company .. North American Herb & Spice, run by ex-Medical Doctor

(credentials forfeited) Cass Igram .. who used to be a major customer of

mine before he got tied up with some slicky boys here who refuses to use

the term essential oil because all of his products are diluted.

Igram spends a lotta time on the radio .. he convinces folks it is the

end thing for all cures .. lots of extrapolation and such .. and though

he has forfeited his medical license he is still a qualified quack so he

is authorized to do that .. we are not. And the low dilution of the

products he sells couldn't hurt a new born baby.

 

I sell a few dozen metric tons a year of Oregano EO now .. used to sell

tens of dozens of metric tons a month but then the competition became

more abundant and prices (and quality) were lowered to a point that I

would not deal as they wanted it .. which was basically custom produced

oils .. like .. manipulated. I BS you not .. many European companies

want to order the oil like they were ordering a new car with all the

accessories.

 

> And some have said that they buy it in capsules. Is it the oil in

the capsules?

 

Paris .. you are getting into an area that you should forget about.

When you sell an oil in a capsule you are selling medicine. Why else

would you put it in a capsule .. better it is to forget this.

 

> I would think it would eat right through a capsule!

 

If it were not diluted to 5% it would .. and even then it will in time.

 

> Oh! I guess I just answered my question! LOL!

 

Yea .. but next time .. if you want better answers .. send 4-5 posts

with a different subject on each one. ;-)

 

> 7. Where can I buy Barbara Lucks article on Vitex?

 

Get if free here http://www.aromaticsage.com/volume1/2.html and if you

want more I can't help.

None! Someone else can pick up on this.

They have all been answered before on this list .. but no need to

apologize. I recommend all folks keep in mind .. if you want to do an

archive search .. or even a search of your own files .. it is better to

break your subjects down and to indicate clearly in the subject line

what the post is about. Trying to find something in files when the

subject is " I Have A Question " .. or .. " Hi Butch " .. makes it real

tough .. and that's why lots of folks get posts back from me with a

different subject line than the one they sent. :-)
