Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hi Jo Ann .. other good folks .. I'm not technically back yet .. I'm still gallivanting around Turkey and a few other places .. but I had to take time to address this one. There are many other issues I need to address and the List Mama has been chewing my butt for some time now .. but I just don't have the time to deal with them at present .. hopefully in a few days I will be able to come up for air. And .. when I do .. I will offer a public apology to Josh for confusing him with another person with regard to the Sandalwood issue I discussed some days back .. the recipient of the Sandalwood and my employees in Maryland corrected me on it. Lemme point out that the subject line (above) says Infection .. it is not plural because its a norm for folks to have ONE sinus infection for many, many years. Synthetic antibiotics kick it for a while but the infection can lie deep in the sinus cavities .. and as antibiotics often do as much harm to the immune system as they do good to the cause or symptoms of an illness .. the infection will come back when the immune system gets weak again. Not so for pro-biotics like Origanum. > Hello, I have chronic sinusitis and am looking for an alternative to > daily decongestants that raise my bloodpressure and antibiotics.

Too many folks will not tolerate it .. including me. You can find a lot of hype on it and any other EO if you read any of the Young Living garbage or many of the things put out by ex-doctor Cass Igram. I'm going to answer your question with an old post or two .. I guess I have written a few hundred posts on Origanums over the years .. many are in the archive of this list. In addition to answering your question, I will answer a few more that have not been asked yet. ;-) These are but a few of the many posts I have written .. and a few of the many credible references I have on the Origanums. If folks are looking for credible information on essential oils .. they should consider purchasing Martin's EO Monographs .. they are the finest out .. bar none. http://www.av-at.com/monographs.html > Jo Ann Nourse Y'all keep smiling. :-0) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
