Very Important!-It must be from a WILD oregano plant.
As a personal testimony I can say without a doubt the stuff works.
More importantly is the in vitro AND in vivo results.
Oregano Oil May Protect Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria, Georgetown
Researcher Finds
(Washington, DC) Oil from the common herb oregano may be an
effective treatment against dangerous, and sometimes drug-resistant
bacteria, a Georgetown researcher has found. Two studies have shown
that oregano oiland, in particular, carvacrol, one of oreganos
chemical componentsappear to reduce infection as effectively as
traditional antibiotics. These findings were presented at the American
College of Nutritions annual meeting October 6 and 7 in Orlando, Fla.
Harry G. Preuss, MD, MACN, CNS, professor of physiology and
biophysics, and his research team, tested oregano oil on
staphylococcus bacteriawhich is responsible for a variety of severe
infections and is becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics.
They combined oregano oil with the bacteria in a test tube, and
compared oregano oils effects to those of standard antibiotics
streptomycin, penicillin and vacnomycin. The oregano oil at relatively
low doses was found to inhibit the growth of staphylococcus bacteria
in the test tubes as effectively as the standard antibiotics did.
Another aspect of the study examined the efficacy of oregano oil and
carvacrol, which is believed to be the major antibacterial component
of oregano, in 18 mice infected with the staph bacteria
Six of the mice received oregano oil for 30 days, and 50% of this
group survived the 30-day treatment. Six received the carvacrol in
olive oil, not oregano oil, and none survived longer than 21 days. Six
mice received olive oil alone with no active agents (the control
group) and all died within three days. A repeat study corroborated
these findings, which demonstrates that there are components of
oregano oil other than carvacrol that have antibiotic properties.
While this investigation was performed only in test tubes and on a
small number of mice, the preliminary results are promising and
warrant further study, Preuss said. The ability of oils from various
spices to kill infectious organisms has been recognized since
antiquity. Natural oils may turn out to be valuable adjuvants or even
replacements for many anti-germicidals under a variety of conditions.
This study was sponsored by Waukegan, Ill.-based North American Herb
and Spice.

School of Medicine, School of Nursing and Health Studies, and a

As a note. Another example of why they are pushing this CODEX.
This must scare the hell out of them. GOOD
BE A HEALTH FREEDOM FIGHTER !!!!
