cautiously optimistic about Wild Oregano Oil (85% Carvacrol)

I will be discussing my WOO again with the GI next week. Based on how well things have gone and continue to go, I doubt I will start taking again right away. I still have to pinch myself to believe how well WOO has worked compared to everything else I have tried. I even ordered another bottle of WOO to simply have for travel and backup.

Have a great weekend !

Anybody else trying WOO? I would enjoy hearing from others who have given this a go.

@Stealth Hope you are doing well.

My diet has not changed. I am Gluten Free, eat tons of organic fresh fruit and veggies every day. I eat only organic meats (mostly chicken with some grass fed beef). I still eat 1-2 green bananas in a protein shake for Resistant starch (as well as UDI's GF bread which is full of RS). As I mentioned previously, I work out 6 times a week for Crossfit (not same exercise's every day or ever) so eating a great deal of protein is critical for me.

Have not had fast food or any processed food since 2006.

Thanks, Stealth. I *may* have it figured out, FOR NOW, but do not think for a minute that it can't come right back. The WOO has allowed me to be much more optimistic and hope it continues to help me. I am not near as cocky as I have been in the past about treatments so really do feel blessed, at the moment.

This disease can be maddening so keep your head up and keep fighting.

Best to you...

@DDP Keep trying things. I know it sometimes seems like a losing battle but just 2 months ago, I had given up on any treatments and found WOO. WOO will not help everyone, obviously but it will help a percentage of people on this board. My point is I had almost given up and, through reading posts on this board, found a solution that cost less than $20. You never know when you might find the missing link to your treatment.

I have been monitoring other hot topics on this board like CCHerbal, in case the WOO ever stops being effective (hopefully, never). The jury still seems to be out on that product but something new is always popping on the radar.

Stay positive !

Things are still good for me and GI is pleased.

Hi Twiggs,

IMHO, I would suggest more than 2 to start with as I am not sure what the Carvacrol % is in the Puritan Pride products (it is not listed). The Carvacrol is the magic ingredient with WOO. I would suggest using Wild Oregano Oil with 75%-85% Carvacrol for best results.

I used NOW brand oregano oil gel caps prior to getting my WOO in the mail (no Carvocral listed) and had no results. It wasnt until I used WOO drops that I saw dramatic results.

Just my .02 and wish you the very best ! Keep us posted.

@Twiggs

I was thinking you should up it to 8-10 a day as the stuff you have now is probably very low carvacrol (otherwise it would be listed) I know Natures Way has Oregano Oil VCaps that are 75%-85% Carvacrol but it isnt true WOO. I would suggest the Wild Oregano Oil from Amazon (shipped from Greece). It cost less than $20 (including shipping) and is the REAL DEAL. It is clear that there is a HUGE range in quality of these products. It takes a few weeks to get to you but well worth the wait as the quality is superior to EVERY other WOO product I checked out. IMO, you have to get the big guns out on this disease and taking 3 pills of Oregano Oil (Not WOO) will not likely be near enough for any change to occur. Just my .02

It is a dropper and bottle. Trust me, Twiggs, if you want to really give this an honest go you have to use the pure stuff. I absolutely recommend using what you have until the WOO arrives. I just looked and it took 9 days to get to me from Greece.

@ protocol, I see a brand on amazon from Greece by Telia oils one ounce for like 13.50. Does that sound like the right one to get? Oh by the way It might be too early to say but I see a difference in my stool already from one day of using the OO I have. No B at all either and I do feel pretty good. I am definatly ordering some of the real deal stuff today once I hear back from you. Will one ounce of it be enough?

Here is the link of what I am looking at..

UPDATE: I just bought it! I plan on taking what I got at 3 a day until the military strenght stuff arives..I am pumped! I know this is gonna work even better than what I have an d used last summer. It was for sure this that gave me a med free remmission last summer. I just had gone back to my old eating habbits and didnt take anything and it all returned. Go figure..! Not nthis time though. I have a reall good long term plan of attack. Strange though I said a prayer to St Raphael who is the saint of healing and that next morning I was reading through your posts again and said to myself " My gosh was it the oregano oil I took last summer that did it?" It was like my prayers were answered. I am really confident this will be my way to a somewhat normal life again as it wass last summer.

Here is the link to my prayer thread from the other day..

Thanks again!

@Twiggs

I am only through about 25% of my bottle of WOO. 1 ounce will last a long time as you cant take too much at once.

Protocolteck,
Did you dilute your WOO at all with Olive oil or some other oil prior to adding to your water, and did you experience any die off symptoms? Also, do you know if it must be used on an empty stomach, or can it be added to food like a salad and be just as effective as one of the dosages?

Interestingly, I've been reading here and there about fungus (candida), and how some think it is behind much of our illnesses, digestive included. Honestly, I've wondered what role it's played in my health over the years. I watched some videos last night by Dr. Cass Ingram that were really interesting, and I often found him describing my health struggles quite accurately. His favorite medicinal tool, is WOO. I'm really optimistic about trying the WOO, as there are many things it can help with. I feel so close to my goal of a life of quality. Knowing the WOO zaps fungus, bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. gives me hope, especially since many of these things are considered to be contributing factors to UC. Since I can't afford all the tests it would take to rule out each one, WOO fits the bill for addressing all of them, without having to worry about doing harm, as long as the WOO is treated with respect. I've been tossing around the idea of trying it for a few months. Even if I don't get the benefits I'm hoping for, it looks to have incredible healing properties in other areas.

@DDP I dilute 5 drops in a shot of water (3-4 oz). You can also add it to Olive oil-it won't make a difference. I did not experience any die off symptoms from WOO but DID exper. die off when I used Olive Leaf Extract just prior to starting my WOO treatment in August. I would suggest NOT using this on an empty stomach. This stuff is strong and I need to have it with food. I dont use it in cooking, etc as I like to closely monitor exactly how much I am ingesting. If Candida is a problem you have had, it should be taken care of by WOO.

@momto2boys I have read it is not a good idea to take WOO with RX drugs as it can be hard on the liver (Maybe it was from "listen to your gut" like you mentioned). Because I was not on any at the time I started (and obviously still dont take them) I never researched this too much.
