Origanum ** Was: Mono

 

 

Hi Licienne,

There is no question that carvacrol (the active ingredient in Origanums)

does this .. but taking it on the back of the tongue will do no more or

less than ingesting it in a dozen other ways .. diluted of course .. and

in many cases simply sniffing the volatile molecules.

 

The tongue method was something ex-Dr. (he no longer has a license to

practice) Cass Igram (also calls himself Ingram) kicked off .. but the

oils he sells are around 5% in Olive Oil .. with his Super Dooper

version somewhere around 10% .. but he fails to mention that in his

writings. He also fails to mention that Origanum is an irritant to

mucus membranes .. and those who have allowed it to touch their outer

lips or nose can attest to. But Igram is into selling .. that's all.

 

But he's not all wrong. It works. ;-) Folks who have been around this

and other lists over the years have read a few hundred posts from me on

this subject .. and I still believe it is the most powerful essential

oil known to man .. bar none. Some have read my posts on the following

and those who were at the Toronto AT Conference some years back saw

the colored slides of lung tissues from the research conducted by five

prominent professors (one being a medical doctor) using Origanum onites

(Carvacrol) against induced lung tumors in rats .. with a 100% cure

rate. And that's not saying it will work the same on human critters.

 

But Licienne .. I also believe it is an immuno stimulant and I think I

am proof (at least from an empirical point of view) in that I have not

visited a medical doctor (except for routine physicals) or taken an over

the counter or prescription medication since 1996. I do catch bugs and

infections from time to time .. but rare they are .. and in ALL cases I

have kicked their Big Bad Bug Butts in 18-24 hours using Origanums ..

occasionally together with Rosmarinus officinalis, Cineole. I sprinkle

Oregano on much of my food and use Oregano EO in things I have cooked.

I do NOT take antibiotics .. so my immune system is somewhere betwixt

that of a Great White and a Cockroach.

 

And that is good because if it were not so I would be down and out all

the time because I am NOT a health nut .. I eat a healthy diet because

of where I am now .. in Turkey .. but I drink a bit and smoke a bit and

work 48 hours sometimes before crashing for 12 hours or so. ;-)

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
