Oil of Oregano after 3 months long nightmare

May of 2009 it started with sore throat and nasal congestion. 7th day i started feeling just fine. 8th day i woke up with a major sore throat then following 7 days i had chills (no fever) diarrhea, coughs, stabbing feeling all over my body. Then i went to see a doctor (no insurance) he said that my tonsils are infected so i have to take antibiotics and for hardship breating he gave me steroids. 4 days later tonsils still swollen and i cant breathe also diarrhea is full throttle. i was drinking 5-6 quarts of water every day. 19th day i went to see same doctor. listened to my lungs, ordered x-ray which came out clean and he told me that i am ok. BUT I WASNT. For diarrhea he diagnosed me with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) 6 days passed and my symphtoms are same but not getting worse.25th day i went and bought a humidifier for my room hoping to be able to sleep better. and also i wanted to close the a/c vent in my room. Right at that point I FACED THE REALITY. MOLD!!! my a/c vent was black in color. Very next day i called a company that tests homes for molds. Results came back in 3 days after i spent $400. my a/c unit had Aspergillus (high levels),Cladosporium (elevated levels) Penicillium (high levels). i went to see the doc again. he told me that its like impossible to prove that my health is bad because of those mold species.And addition to that he told me that skin prick test for this issue is expensive and i dont have insurance so he told me to just rest and pray that i will get better on my own. For the following 2 months i started getting worse. I quit my job. I was hopeless.

Then i read it somewhere on the net that OIL OF OREGANO will do the trick. I cut of eating anything that has yeast and started taking 4 oil of oregano capsuls every 8 hours and taking 1000mg vitamin c every 8 hours.Sublingual B12 25 drops everyday. 2nd day diarrhea gone. 7th day i am almost back to normal.

I hope this will help someone out there. I am a believer of oregano oils antifungal, antiviral, anti bacterial properties.

HELP PLEASE. I know the previous post is old but I am hoping someone will respond to this. In Jan 2011 my daughter ( age 25) insisted on moving out of our home into a small 4 room house with a friend. My son painted her bedroom and there was so much moisture that water dripped down the walls and separated the wet paint. The wood floors were always damp. By February she began to have a chronic cough and then a sore throat. Was treated with an oral antibiotic. Her roommate had the same symptoms and was treated with 4 antibiotic injections and oral antibiotics. Two weeks later she was sick again and treated with the same. Her roommate was of heavier frame and very athletic. My daughter is 5'4" weighed 105. My daughter continued to get worse, but would not go back to the Dr. She finally moved out in March. By April she was admitted to hospital with 103 temp 24,000 white blood count, heart rate of 153, a very tender spleen, her throat was completely white. Drs said she was on the edge. Stayed 5 days with pick line and 3 antibiotics, released with oral antibiotics. In 3 weeks she was on antibiotics again. She has had numerous tests. Has had her tonsils removed. Has seen 3 infectious disease drs I have always felt she has mold sickness. She is now 27. She is in constant pain. Before she got sick she was vibrant and looking forward to the future. Now she is depressed, has anxiety, has chronic headaches, nausea, and can hardly get around because of constant exhaustion. She has seen 3 infectious disease drs. One said he did not believe in the mold scenario. A rheumatologist seen 6 months ago is treating her for fibromyalgia. An endocrinologist said she has a cyst on her thyroid. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I'm so sorry to hear of your daughters condition. All of those antibiotics can backfire over time. Have her juice carrots and one green apple a day, cut waaay down on meat, pasta and other grains like bread. Increase tons of raw and dark green leafy veggies Have her take a good daily vitamin. This will help the body recover nutrients in order to heal itself.

The anti-mold regimen I recommend is 2 capsules of olive leaf casuals 3 times a day until the bottle is finished. Don't settle for cheap brands because of price, I find GNC brand is the best. It may cost more but over the years, I have found that brand most effective.

I would also try a baking soda bath to see if that helps. I use Arm and Hammer Super washing soda as its pure sodium carbonate, a natural anti-fungal and mold. It's soaked in through the skin and when I am not feeling well, this helps although, it may help restore to a more favorable PH balance as its mode of action. I think I have a mild case of candida from time to time. This helps.

I also recommend that she wash her cloths using baking soda added detergent and borax to help eliminate any fungus or mold from recontaminating her.

I agree wih Roec with the use of baking soda. I have worked in the mold removal field for a time and baking soda is the one thing that can kill mold without killing you. I now drink it every day for maintenance. Other than that, I strongly recommend a high dose of iodine. I have taken 100 mgs of 5% of iodine for two weeks at a time with no side effects at all. (Just be sure to work your way up to this dose.)Your daughter won't believe how this will help her energy levels and it may heal her thyroid. Nascent iodine is the superior kind of iodine and you can get it on the internet. Taking some selenium which you can get by eating 2 brazil nuts a day, taking vitamin c and unrefined sea salt will help the iodine work. I wish you all the best. Please let us know how she is doing!

Erowe: To add to others responses, the main reason for the weak and lowered defense is, imho, a weakened immune system which is weakened by a chronic lack of antioxidant nutrition. Antioxidants to begin now for immune boosting is: Zinc and Vit-A; take as directed on labels. Do this for about a month and begin supplementing Selenium and Vit-E. Then move on to the many other antioxidant nutrients on the market today like Mixed Carotinoids, Wild Berry, and Pine Bark/Grapeseed.

Also, do the "Thymus support" I posted a few pages above for a Lyme sufferer.

All this plus the other advise will repair and regain the health of your daughter.

I am not sure if anyone has suggested this but all of your Daughters symptoms sound very familiar to mine. I have Celiac Disease and was just finally diagnosed a year ago. I also have fibromyalgia as well as Hypothyroidism... I have been gluten free for a year and taking alot of the supplements suggested in previous post. I hope and pray your Daughter starts feeling better soon :)

Clearly your daughter was exposed to mold/ mycotoxins.

The steps to take

1.Find a an mold literate MD that is specialized in this area.

2. Get her into a clean enviroment a place - that has no history of leaky pipes and/or mold or mildew.

3. Take Cholestraymine - this is the most effective mold binder that will carry the mycotoxins out of the body

4. Get on Candida diet ( fungus free diet)

5. Buy a high quality zeolite and benonite clay.

6. Read the research at Sponaugle Wellness Institute is now the top mold toxicity clinic in America

Cholestraymine is, to my knowledge, not an otc product (Rx only); and good luck finding a mold dr, and if you do find one, time & travel expenses may throw the option out.

Two otc products I have personally found equally effective as Cholestraymine substitute is Sodium Alginate and Chitosan. The S.A. will require encapsulation (will stick to the roof of mouth and throat) as it is too binding to wash down orally like most other fiber sources.

Please remove your daughter from this moldy place. She will feel much much better.

I have lymes and used to be in a mold infested place. I was always feeling better when taking Cholestyramine, but my life was miserable. I lost motivation, function, concentration, it reeked havoc on my body and made me feel more sick.

There was water dripping from the paint, and managers didn't care to check. I kept smelling mold, getting dizzy and nauseous. Opened up bedroom cabinets under the sink and there was black mold coming through the paint like someone sprayed a light layer of black paint on the walls. Managers finally came and tore out that wall and the whole wall inside was covered in black mold, and it turns out that was dripping through the paint in the other bathroom had no where to escape so dripped into bedroom sink walls.

Also, this place had wooden floors which probably had high amounts of chemicals in it.

You can also get sick and dizzy from furniture. One really nice desk I bought from IKEA had a formadahyde smell coming from it. I could never sit in the office without getting a headache.

check all those things.

I second your suggestion. I have only been taking oregano oil for less than a week, but it is working wonders. I've been suffering for three years, and if I'm fortunate, this oil could be the key to my healing.

I've had similar stuff going on with me for over 10 yrs. I have really bad food allergies, I had blood test done and I'm allergic to Eggs, Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Almonds and white beans. My whole digestive system swells up! I had to have my gall bladder removed in 2003 but in 2012 I almost died because I had stones all in my Liver! I've been watching a show on TV by doctor and his wife - he constantly talks about intestinal dysbiosis and how Oil Of Oregano really helps with that! He said until you get your gut healthy you will never get better! I"m so tired of these food allergies and feeling bad! Beth how much Oregano have you been taking? I know I need to get a really good Probiotic too. Any suggestions for that. Thanks.

and oregano oil. 3 times a day sublingually.

= knocks out anything.

For many people, full strength oregano essential oil can irritate the skin when applied topically.
