WOO Protocol Question

I'm not an expert, just someone who's done it. I started with WOO drops in water, just 2-4 drops per day. After a couple days it began causing IBS symptoms and made my gut very unhappy.

Then later I read (prob. CanadaMark) about gel caps of WOO so I ordered them from Canada, could not find in US. Better luck. A couple of days in the beginning of IBS then settled down. Better for me to take at bedtime. I take the reuterii probiotic in the AM just in case I'm killing anything with the WOO maybe they will live.

I quit after a month and a half just to take a break and recently started again. WOO seems to be good for my GI system, fewer BM's, better looking, lol.

WOO will be a permanent fixture, on and off, until something tells me stop.

The experts will be along to tell you more. Just putting my testimony out here.

PS I still use the liquid WOO drops as mouthwash and gargle, few drops in water is all you need. Also useful for scratches from roses in the garden to prevent infection.
Do NOT get it in sensitive areas like eyes, yow.

I'm curious about this too. I started WOO drops last week and only worked up to about 6 drops a day before I had horrible GI issues. Pretty gross, but it cleaned me out so much that I started to have BMs that were like being cleaned out with a colonoscopy prep. I didn't really tolerate it well, so I'm not sure it's die off or just a side effect.

If there is much of a difference from the capsules vs. the oil, could people get the same result with just taking the equivalent amount of the drops or does taking it in the capsule form affect how it is released and somehow that affects how it works?

I have to post on the other thread as I have not for some time.

For me, when I first started things were crazy and IBS type weird bowel movements were very common, but the lack of blood and the odd semi-formed stool made me stick it through. Urgency was there... but different. Not poop your pants urgency, but I could hold things just that little bit extra. Over time, and just sticking with it regardless brought results. For every 14 bad bowel movements maybe 1 was awesome, eventually (after say a month) for every 14 bowel movements 7 would be good... flash some 7 months forward, for every 14 maybe 1 or two will be bad and the majority are pretty awesome.


Here is what I take exactly:

8-10 Drops of OregaSupreme Oil 3x Daily - OR 1 OregaSupreme Gel Cap 3x daily
For the first 4 months I also took 3-4 Drops of Cinnamon Leaf Oil 3x Daily but stopped once I really started to feel good.

When I take drops I place all drops in a single empty gel cap and take with water or whatever. I take it first thing in the morning, early afternoon and 5pm

1 tablespoon potato starch once or twice daily and/or you could try a butyrate supplement.

BioGia (This is the Brand Name) Drops every night (5-8) - so this is straight L.reuteri but in liquid form.
Renew Life Critical Care 100 Billion - Mainly because is has l.Plantarum and this seems to work very well with the Reuteri.

I have tried it without the reuteri and plantarum and things work better with it. Though I have cut back to every other day now with the probiotics and this seems to be working very well.

I have tried a higher dose of WOO and things seemed to worsen, I tried a lower dose and things became uncomfortable. For me (and I suspect others) this may be the optimal dosage.

I'm on 7 months with a complete change in life, and perhaps even in remission. Or far greater remission than I ever had with Remicade.

I'd encourage any that have tried WOO in the past to give the above a go even for a month..... I think the results might be a welcome surprise. Just avoid the foods that you know cause trouble, and stick it through for a month even if you seem to get IBS symptoms. I'm confident it'll work itself out.

EDIT: the cinnamon leaf oil is literally 100% organic cinnamon leaf oil extract for aromatherapy.... the bottles say external use only but I said what the heck... had no issues.

EDIT EDIT: Renew Life 80 Billion kills me... I think it's all the Biofbacteria in it. Get's me every time I try it. In the 100 billion l.plantarum is the first on the list and the highest amount... this is why I take it.

EDIT EDIT EDIT haha... I think Imagardner might be right, the gel caps might dissolve further down.... so this may make a difference to some.

Bifido probiotic is also a problem for me (in the past) so I looked up your Renew 100 billion probiotic.
Here's what I saw: www.renewlife.com/ultimate-flora-ultra-potent-100-billion.html.

L. Plantarum is pretty far down the list and Bifido is the higher number.
Perhaps they've changed it? Could you look at your bottle and see?
Maybe in Canada they have a different formula (I'm serious).
It's a lot of money for me to throw away if my gut rejects it, as it does many, many things.

I've read good things about L. plantarum (isn't it related to psyllium seed? not husk)

Thanks.

When I first started with WOO I took the Rtueri (sp?) probiotic with it, but I think it actually bothered me at the time - along with other probiotics. So I quit taking all probiotics for about 2 weeks and only took WOO. After about 2 weeks when things were back to normal I started back with probiotics but not the Rtueri stuff because I was a little scared because of the shakey start I had with it. So the WOO did wonders for me without any probiotics. Although I think Probiotics are extremely important, especially if you stick with WOO. WOO is a bug killer it will kill everything and if you don't replace the good bugs you could end up hurting yourself down the road later.

To pull myself out of my flare with WOO I was taking 4 drops in about 1oz of water, swishing it around my mouth for about 30 seconds and then swallow. Allowed it to burn for a few seconds or until I couldn't handle it anymore then chase it down with plain ole water again. I did this 2-3 times a day about 30 minutues before eating. I started to notice a big difference in a bad way in about a day or two - by day 3 I was hurting - feeling bloated, gassy, bad BM's, blood etc. I immediately stopped the Rtueri and continued with the WOO - although slowed way down. In another week time I noticed huge improvements so I increased my WOO dosage again and about a week lately started with other probiotics, never looked back since.

One thing I would say about WOO is that it is kind of like hot sauce, the first time you take it you might be shocked by the taste and the burning, but you very quickly become tolerant of it and can increase you dosage without issue, so I would always start low and work your way up. Now after several months i can take WOO without a chaser and hardly can tell it burns. I like the burning though, in my mind it is telling me it is working and the burning is the all those bad bad bugs dying - well that is what I tell myself anyways - it gets me through the process.
