Oregano oil... zero meds, huge change

Hello all,

I just wanted to ask a couple of questions regarding using WOO as a way to "heal" my UC. My main symptom is bleeding. Right now I am taking L-glutamine, great lakes gelatine, and a 50 billion probiotic. For the woo, I read in a previous post above that I should also take Primadolphilus Reuteri along with the WOO.

I just want to check with you all first, is it ok to combine two different probiotics? and how should I go about the timing of taking the woo and the different probiotics throughout the day? Should I take the woo on an empty stomach? the Primadolphilus Reuteri on an empty stomach? or does it really matter?

Thanks Canada Mark

I googled a bunch of articles as well about taking different probiotics at the same time, and haven't come across anything that said not to mix them, so will start my first "dose" of the WOO and the reuteri today :) Praying for this to be the missing "key" to my "healing".

There is lots of info about this on post entitled 'cautiously optimistic about wild oregano oil'. There have been so many posts about it they have started a part 2! Have a look - may help you. Thinking about trying this too but form what I gather you must take it with the probiotic reuteri.

So today is day 3 of WOO and reuteri. Im not sure how/if I am reacting badly to it. The first day I took only a couple of drops of WOO in a small glass of water before bed, no reuteri (believe it or not, it totally slipped my mind), day 2, I increased abit to four drops and took the reuteri. The first day I took the reuteri I felt bait of nausea but Im not really sure if it was that, or if it something I ate.. Day 3, I took 6 drops of WOO and the probiotic. All 3 days that Ive taken woo, Ive had some increased bleeding (still only one bm per day though and thats how Ive always been). I have been abit constipated though so Im hoping that's what caused more of the bleeding. Also, just earlier about an hour after taking the probiotic, I felt some urgency (which is rare unless I eat something really bad for me) so I go to the washroom and nothing but watery tissue (a little bit of pink) comes out. Ive never had just watery tissue come out.

Anybody experience or know what could be happening?? Should i stop the WOO and the Primadolphilus Reuteri for a few days and see how things go from there?

@ Franny - I think everyone is but you should ask on that thread really.

@ Maria - What did you decide to do? I don't know what to say really - maybe see how thing go for a few days then stop. I'd stay on both for sure though. I have read many times that sometimes things get a bit worse before they actually improve. Are you on any meds?

Also you should post on the other thread for more responses perhaps. That way it keeps everything together in one thread.

On the other thread - www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2902715 if you post there it might be better.

They'll say 60% is to low. Need 85%.

At the same time I seem to notice that for straight UC it's not so simple. WOO doesn't seem to always do much for some but others have had a bit of success, but for other conditions it seems to help fast and a lot. Just trying to flush that out on the other thread.

Example:
Crohns-Coltis - Seems good based on me so far. Worked awesome for Twiggs as well.
Ulcerative Proctitis -Seems good based on Proto
UC - Doesn't seem to work for Bananagirl. Momto2boys is not sure at the moment. Have to fill on some others

So it sort of points out the differences... and that straight UC is going to be a tough nut to crack. I;d love to hear from someone with an official diagnosis of UC that has seen success with WOO/Reuteri.

hey guys, I've tried Oregano Oil in the past and I felt it made my symptoms worse so I had stopped it, I may have done it wrong.
But anyways, the reason for my post - I've been on remission for 3 weeks and few days ago symptoms appeared again - so I refused to start Apriso but instead I tried Oregano tea. it's only the second day but seems to have nipped it in the bud.
So what I'm trying to say is why don't you guys try Oregano tea instead first - it's really easy. not the most pleasant in taste but hey. And don't buy the garbage in-bulk dry oregano at the store. try to find the dried bunches or get something that is high quality.
I boil water - then I get a few pinches of the dried leafs and crunch them further with my hands then dump them in the hot water and cover for 10 minutes. Crunching them with your hands helps release more oils/minerals.. etc. Before drinking I would not filter it with a paper filter as it may keep the valuable oils in it. so filter it in a mesh type.
Drink 1 cup a day for starters - then move on to 2 cups a day. don't over do it.
I'll do this Oregano team for a week and update back.
