It must sound stupid bt I think the oregano oil I have isnt edible lol I beleive its used for topical use only and I used one drop and its nearly scorched my throat, what is the correct kind to use. Sorry if this sounds like such a dumb question.

Not a stupid question! I definitely have burned my throat just from inhaling the fragrance of undiluted (food grade essential oil) oregano oil. People should be careful with it. I think most people who use it internally for antimicrobial treatment take it in capsules or in liposomal form. I have not tried that personally, but I have not heard anyone complain of issues lower down in the GI tract when the oregano is taken in capsules, even DIY capsules. It's supposed to be very powerful!

it is very powerful almost corrosive stuff - many essential oils are - even lemon oil will burn your skin.

when i looked into this it seems v rare to get actual pure oregano essential oil for food use - its usually diluted in some way in a carrier oil - even so its still super strong and a drop or two and a cracker can still be hard on the digestive tract.

i have seen the LLMD's that use it favour a liposomal form - and i think the main advantage here is that the systemic absorption is much higher so the dose consumed can be lower - and it is therefore easier on the digestive tract. 75mg 2x a day i seem to remember was the liposomal dose - i think marty ross lists it on his "treats Bart page" that i posted a link to before

yep - i am using LLMD's as a very general term as these are mostly the MD's people turn to if they suspect a vector borne illness of any sort - lyme, bart, babs, anaplasma etc etc - and in fact single infections seem to be the exception rather than the norm.

I've used Zane Hellas Oil of Oregano, It has 86% carvacrol which I heard was the important part. I put 4 drops in almost a teaspoon of olive oil then drink it. Still had a slight burn feeling. I thought it may be helping but now I think it was more due to diet change. I did it for about a month I may start try it again, I think I've read somewhere you should take breaks from it. Maybe 3 weeks on and a few off.

Hi, sure you have to take care with non diluted essential oils. I also take OoO likewise trekkar does. I put 4 drops of undiluted OoO and I add like 3 to 5 ml of olive oil. I stirr it well and swallow it. Then, with some bread, I take the rest and eat the bread. That is about it. But first time I also scorched my throat a bit!

here is one example of a LLMDs' approach
https://www.treatlyme.net/guide/kills-bartonella-a-brief-guide

i have also heard Dr Phillips - the author of the recent Chronic book - advocate it in liposomal form -

per above - i think the idea of liposomal in this case is so you don't have to take such high doses - and the normal form - and its therefore easier on the digestive tract
