I am so excited to share an experience I had while traveling in Mexico recently. While reading about how to avoid becoming sick due to the bacteria in Mexico's water and certain food (see "Montezuma's Revenge"), I learned that one of my old staples - Oregano Oil - is considered a great remedy/safeguard by a lot of world travelers because it kills off bacteria, parasites and more. About 3 days before my trip, I began taking about four drops with water each morning (70% Carvacrol); I continued this routine while I was on the trip. On the second to last evening, the three people I'd been traveling with became very ill within an hour of one another; absolutely horrible vomiting and diarrhea. Because we'd spent the day eating and drinking at the same places, I sat there in horror, waiting for the sickness to (inevitably) hit me like it'd hit everyone else. I waited and waited. Nothing happened. They were all brutally sick for 24 hours, and slowly returned to normal over the course of 7–10 days. But I NEVER GOT SICK. Oregano oil is truly remarkable. (Just make sure to read directions and start slowly to build your tolerance. If you take too much too quick, you will experience dizziness and stomach upset.)

I travel with OofO everywhere. However, while in Mexico, there has been a horrible (violent) stomach bug that has been going on from PV to the far north. OofO in the AM and probiotics at night didn't touch it. I've had it twice (and off and on) and my husband now has. Finally relented to start up on Bactrim. Any other natural recommendations to get off the dreaded antibiotic?

Iodine for internal use or potassium iodide has been used to deal with contaminated water, food, and food poisoning. Here is a dosage chart for various issues using Lugol's. https://naturalhealingsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Lugols-Iodine-Dosage-Table.pdf

Tried this too. Along with Oregano Oil & GSE. Back home and feeling better after taking 1/2teaspoon of pure gum spirits turpentine. Slaves gave this to their children in the 1700-1800s as a dewormer that kept them healthy. It's from the forests of Georgia in the US.
