ADP oil of oregano - dosing question

I am a big fan of this product, in so many ways!

It is perfectly ok to take two pills at once - - I talked to the company directly when I was taking it, and their general parasitic protocol was 4 pills, 3x's a day (so 12 pills a day) for 6 weeks! I never made it past 6 of them - started having huge neuro die-off symptoms in my legs....but that was just me!

Just use basic caution when doubling up - make sure you are detoxing enough....as you know, that stuff packs an incredible punch....

What does ADP help with? I see it says yeast and bacteria.

Does this also kill lyme or co infections?

Do you take it with food? I've been told by my LLND not to take with food as it is more effective that way, but I see lots of talk to say take with food as it is hard on your stomach.

Good Morning!
Will answer your questions the best I can......

I reached my "max dose" (determined by my symptoms) when I began taking six per day. I had severe muscle weakness in my legs and lots of twitching in my legs here, there and everywhere....too unsteady on my feet, so I was much too scared to take it higher. I wasn't taking anything else at the the time (I was using it for a general parasite cleanse, to reduce the parasite load before going in after the stealth pathogens). I had major evidence of "general" parasite issues with debilitating gut problems...so I started with ADP to clean house.

As to the questions about it killing Lyme and/or co-infections - read this link about ALL of the pathogens it works to eradicate.

I've also read it is strong against yersinia, too. So I do believe it has a strong impact on some bad guys - but the jury is still out on the stealth pathogens. This product has a patent - it was designed to go way beyond "normal" oregano capsules, etc.

I DID take with food, which I was told was actually a good thing. The reason ADP works so well is that it is enteric coated and made to go through the entire GI system...it hits deep and further down the digestive process.

You'll see my other posts on the forum that swear by this product. Not just any oregano oil....THIS product. The pathogens (gross) that it cleared from me was nothing short of amazing. Also cleared lung issues, nasal/sinus problems I'd had for a lifetime, took stomach swelling away....incredible!

That's great, Kathie!

I know I am sounding like a broken record - but I am going to say again...this is not "just a light herbal capsule of oregano." It is extremely potent and should be handled with care.

I hadn't begun any Lyme treatment while I was taking this...and when I hit 6 caplets, I had a major neuro herx - twitiching legs like mad, leg pain, etc.......so it reached something that had "stealth" written all over it (aside from ridding my body of the other invaders/parasite cleansing). I have seen people mention that their ND's use it FOR these pathogens - but I haven't found testing evidence that suggests it is a proven method for Lyme so I can't spread that type of information (though I suspect it goes way beyond normal cleansing for me to develop such neuro herxes).

Anywho - I would hold it at 1 caplet for at LEAST a week...then add another if all is ok. I know you are on Buhner herbs right now so think of it as adding a new, potent herbal medicine.

I was told to take mine WITH food. The enteric coating provides a deeper cleansing, going deeper into the GI system.

Anyway....best of luck! I can't recommend this product enough for those who believe they have parasite overload in addition to stealth pathogen invaders...

Good to know!

I am on top of it, cd! I saw my DO Friday and had my thyroid labs drawn yesterday morning. I will be reporting in as soon as I get results....thank you again for your offer to interpret the labs.
This is new for me...I've been mostly off sugar and grains for years. I suspect the steroids and antibiotics I had during surgery may have contributed to the problem. None of the usual foods I eat have any appeal.

I always thought I was hypothyroid (a lifetime of weight issues, dry skin, always cold) and then in recent years eyebrow and hair loss and constant hunger (no matter what I do or don't eat.) My thyroid labs were always "normal".

I'm going on vacation this week...planning to get myself back on track. I'm feeling surprisingly well, though, despite dietary challenges. Buhner is working for me. My family have remarked about how much better I look and sound.

I'm very hopeful that figuring out my thyroid and cleaning up my gut will do the trick!

I tried the ADP a while ago and found it hit very hard. I herxed with headaches, fluey and general malaise and some back pain. I was up to 5 a day but had to stop because it gave me incredible amounts of gas. Never saw evidence of parasites (maybe I'm clean) but I do think it hits the stealth pathogens judging by the herxes involved.

I can't believe anyone can handle 5-6 tablets of ADP per day, let alone 12 per day! Yikes! I started taking 1 tablet every 3 days and then a while later 1 tablet every 2 days and then 1 per day. That's the most I ever got to. Last fall my doctor thought I didn't need it anymore and I stopped. 4 months later all my "yeasty" symptoms came back and now I am starting all over again.

I agree that is an excellent product and it certainly packs a punch.

Hmmm... I must have intuitively been drawn to oregano... I put some in some olive oil from our garden to make some olive oil extract. Think I am going to give the supplement a try. All things come when they will.

I'm on day 2 of 1 cap ADP Oil of Oregano w/breakfast.

It's very hard to explain but my head/face have felt "full" (not really pressure) for a good amount of time each day (still feeling it now and it's almost 3PM)...and there are times my neck feels stiff.

I don't know if these symptoms mean anything but they are exactly the first two symptoms I ever had related to the tick bite.....they developed my 2nd day on doxy.

The symptoms cleared by the evening yesterday and that's why I decided to take one cap today.

While I have no GI issues that might indicate parasites, I decided to see if parasite treatment will help close the gap between my current level of healing and becoming symptom-free.

I just might need more time. I've been re-reading Buhner's new Lyme book and it's entirely possible my nerve healing can take the max he mentioned in the book: 3 years

Still, I wanted to do a few more things for the cause ;)

Comments about my experiences always welcome and good luck to everyone taking this stuff!!!

Full paper just recently published on oregano oil vs borrelia persisters https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5641543/ I'd be interested to hear of peoples stories too. I took oregano tincture and it didn't do anything. But I suspect it wasn't strong enough. Is it safe to take the oil long term?
