Oregano oil capsules, with herbs

So after 8.5 months of antibiotics my LLMD decided to switch me to herbs for 3-4 months to see if my "immune system is up to it" or not.

I have ordered a whooping list of herbs again, including andrographis, monolaurin, nasturtium and all sorts of other weird stuff. Now besides that i want to start take oregano oil. I have a NOW foods oregano oil capsules bottle with 55% carvacrol.
/iherb.com/pr/Now-Foods-Oregano-Oil-90-Softgels/731

my question is how much should i take per day ? i started with 3 softgels per day. on empty stomach. They are a bit hard on the gut, i can sometimes feel the pills burning me on the inside after ~ 1 hour after taking them. But it's manageable for the moment.

Are you taking larger amounts ? with food ? have u seen any reaction ? So far i have had none, taking this for 2 days already... besides the small burn sensation which is normal since oregano is very very hard on the gut.

My only remaining symptom so far is burning eyes. My shin bone pain has disappeared as soon as i stopped the rifampin. I treat the burning eyes with antialergic drops, massage. I also started taking levocetirizine (5mg/day) for allergy and MCAS. It is a H1 blocker and helps calm down mast cells. I also take 1-1.5 gr of vitamin C per day, divided in 3 doses, Vitamin C also calms down mast cells.

I know stephania is good for eye but im having cold feet about putting stuff in my eye that is not very well purified and says on the label "for ocular use". Because i do not want to go blind that's why ;)

anyway, my main question was about oregano oil capsules and how much to take. I want to prevent a relapse thats all, and i am taking a lot of herbs too. Also taking loads of probiotics since i know it can kill your gut bacteria.

I alternate oregano and cinnamon every other day. You should eat something right after you take either one to ease the burn. Sometimes cinnamon seems stronger than oregano to me.

i have been taking 1 or 2 'Design for Health' brand oil of oregano, no gut issues so far. i take that with monolaurin and my antibiotics. two hours later, vsl3 and florestor.

Does Liposomal Oil of Oregano require a prescription, or can you just contact the compounding pharmacy to order it. i want to try it

I've been taking Designs for Health Oregano oil capsules per my doc. I def got a response, especially when I first started. I take 2 capsules a day, without food (not sure it matters). I could prob take more, but I take a lot of other stuff too so I figure that amount is ok for me. I've mentioned this in other threads but I also started some essential oil combos that have a variety of oils, including oregano. That stuff is strong. I can't pinpoint which particular oil is making me herx so much, but I think the strength (concentration) plus the combo of all of them together might have synergistic effects. Anyways, it's an experiment like always.

I hope the oil of oregano will prove helpful for you!

Oregano oil is very strong. Many lymies will have parasites and this should kill those parasites, plus other gut issues. You can be sure its real by taking real oregano...the fresh herb from the store for $1. Just blend it and strain if necessary.
When I first started it I herxed. I took one drop a day of the herb (a liquid form from a vitamin shop). Then I did two drops, then the next day three. My hands would go numb and I felt shaky but only for the first three days so thats a herx. Before taking it I was disabled and not able to walk almost at all. So yes I recommend it whole heartily 100%, in super small dosses but daily so u kill the whole life cycle. Dont stop though and dont take too much and burn a hole in your gut.

Lemonlyme, my protocol has changed a bit but I will try to tell you what I do. I tried antibiotics for less than 5 weeks with no success. I saw the tick and had it tested which came back negative. I didn't believe my dr when he told me I was fine and didn't have lyme, (though I tested negative twice for everything). The symptoms all lined up. I was taking a week of abx for what might have been a secondary infection when I tried colloidal silver, which helped. Then I started researching the most effect natural cures and here's what I use.

Organic coconut oil-1,000mgs-brand is Emerald
Organic ceylon cinnamon-600mgs-brand Superfood Harvest
Organic apple cider vinegar-750mgs-brand Purely Beneficial
Oregano oil-500mgs some of which is olive oil-brand Zane Hellas
Olive leaf-400mgs-brand Sprouts store brand
Kelp-600mgs-brand Nature's Way (I might switch to non-kelp iodine due to possible toxins from ocean)
trans resveritrol (Japanese knottweed)-250mgs-brand Whole Foods store brand (I might not continue this)

Used occasionally
colloidal silver-500ppm-silver wing brand
borax-pinch every 2 or 3 days (this is controversial but has helped me a great deal)
Niacin-still building up dosage-don't get "no flush" or "slow release"
MSM-haven't added this yet but it looks promising for intracellular implications

Schedule

breakfast Coconut-Cinnamon or oregano

lunch Coconut-kelp

dinner Coconut-Apple cider vinegar pill

bedtime coconut-oive leaf or Japanese knotweed or another cinnamon

I'm still tweaking this but I'm happy with the results. I pretty much just have slight twitches left at this point although the niacin makes me herx with a neck ache.
