A patient "Chad" called me today to tell me about his alpha-gal "diagnosed via testing" he had contracted this past summer while horseback riding with a group of other men. All of them came down with Alpha-gal and all pulled ticks off them.
As previously mentioned, there is no set treatment yet for this disease. And the posted data as to its cause form reseachers/labs is very sketchy to say the least.
Chad was complaining about the joint pain caused by this disease. He asked if I could treat him and I agreed. I like a good challenge.
Since Alpha-gal seems to be caused by a tick bite just like all the other tick-borne diseases like Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Powassan, Rocky mountain spotted fever, Lyme's, etc... I've chosen to treat it the same way as any other of the listed tick disease's.
Based on research and results from a 2017 petri-dish study on Lyme's disease caused by ticks, I choose oregano for its high activity against spirochetes, at lowest concentration of 0.125%. Plus, it had the lowest side effects attached to its use than the other herbs listed in the study. How this translates to the human body will be different due to the division of cell walls. You will just need to crack up the dosages.
I put him on my homemade wildcrafted oregano capsules 2 times daily with food because they are the strongest I can make and they can cause upset stomach.
He has been on them now for 25 days and he was happy to report that his joint pain has been reduced by 50%. Over all feeling better. So he wanted to order two more bottles from me to continue this treatment for another 50 days.
Based on the initial results this experiment, I would say that wildcrafted oregano will be a good choice for treatment of this disease. Just don't expect any major results overnite.
If I can remember, I'll post again his results in 2 months of taking the wildcrafted oregano.
Hope this helps....

Rob, I have a question, my golden retriever gets yearly lyme disease. The vet always puts her on 30 day treatment of doxycycline. Last fall she even had anaplasmosis, it was the sickest she'd ever been! We live in the northeast where ticks are rampant! Can a dog be put on oregano capsules? Thank you.Replied by Rob from Kentucky on 12/19/2023
@ HollyhockTo give Oil of Oregano it to your dog add 1-2 drops of pre-diluted oil of oregano to their food. Avoid if dog has seizures.

Why not try Ivermectin. You know the horse paste that was demonized during 2020. Did you ever hear of Dirt road discussions on Telegram. There is a whole protocol for it, for the paste and liquid version, he has everything you need to know about it. Lymes disease, this has helped a lot of people. I don't know if it helps with alpha gal though, joint pain absolutely!Replied by Emma from MA on 07/21/2024
Can you please tell me more about the wildcrafted oregano capsules you mention? I make triple soaked oregano tincture but I have not made capsules. My friends and family suffer from a lot of Lyme and AGS and I would love to make natural aid to help them. Thank you! EmmaReplied by Mama To Many from Tennessee on 07/22/2024
Hi Emma,I am not familiar with Oregano oil use for Alpha Gal. I could see it being a good remedy for tick born diseases that cause infection, like Lyme or Ehrlichia, but Alpha gal is a tick induced allergy. (But then again maybe oregano oil can heal an allergy.)
Anyway, I have had Alpha Gal for 5 years but haven't made treating it a priority. As a former vegetarian I haven't minded a mammal free diet. However, since I am getting my other allergies treated through immunotherapy, I will go ahead and get the alpha gal treated that way, too. She has had success healing alpha gal through immunotherapy. There is also an acupuncture practice in Franklin, TN that treats alpha gal with acupuncture. I know a couple of people for whom that has been successful.

Hi Mama to Many,I hope to hear back from you how everything goes with immunotherapy for you. I’m interested in learning more about immunotherapy since I know very little, and it’s great hearing about other people’s experiences and results.

I recently had a woman (30 years old?) from Davis County Kentucky with Alpha-gal from a tick bite over the summer. Could not eat meat without vomiting every time.I put her on the following protocol for Alpha-gal and it worked for her.
Colloidal Silver 10ppm – Take 1 oz. CS in 2 oz. clean water 3x daily.
Wildcrafted Oregano Capsules – North American Herb and Spice Co. P73 are the only one I recommend due to the high Carvacrol percentage (83%?). 3 – 4 capsules daily. I make my own.=
Garlic – LOTS OF GARLIC! You are doing to smell like garlic. But that’s what you want. 6 cloves per day. I mice 3 cloves and put them on a chicken salad sandwich and eat them that way. I call it a garlic sandwich. Since garlic stay’s in the blood stream for 10 hours, you will want to take this every 12 hours.
You will do all 3 remedies at the same time for one month (30 days).
Why it works?
Oregano # 1 antibiotic on Earth. Oregano will kill any kind of "germ". Proof of this statement can be found in the Quarterly Review of Biology, March 1998 and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, June 1977, among other authoritative publications.

Colloidal Silver - The Natural Antibiotic Colloidal Silver is a near perfect antibiotic. Colloidal silver has been reported to kill 650 micro organisms, many of which are associated with human diseases. This does not automatically mean that taking colloidal silver will "cure" disease caused by these germs. Colloidal silver only kills micro-organisms when they are in contact with it for a sufficient period of time. The human body is a complex system, which may prevent high enough concentrations of colloidal silver from reaching the "affected area". Just about every known germ, bacteria, virus or fungus, will die within six minutes of contact with colloidal silver. In addition, there are no known bad side effects from using colloidal silver.
GLN offers a partial list of the more than 650 diseases that colloidal silver has been reputed to be successful against: acne, AIDS (reference 8), allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, athlete's foot, bladder inflammation, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, burns, cancer (References 2,4 7), candida, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis, coronavirus, cystitis, dermatitis, diabetes (Reference 1), dysentery, eczema, fibrositis, gastritis, gonorrhea, hay fever, herpes, impetigo, indigestion, keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, lyme disease, malaria, meningitis, neurasthenia, parasitic infections: viral, fungal and bacterial pneumonia, pleurisy, prostate, pruritus ani, psoriasis, purulent opthalmia, rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, skin cancer, staphylococcus and streptococcus infections, stomach flu, syphilis, thyroid, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, all forms of virus, warts, whooping cough, yeast infection, stomach ulcer, canine paravirus and other veterinary uses, and fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted silver on the leaves and add to the soil.

Another excellent post, Rob, thank you!What is your favorite brand of colloidal silver?

Rob:I think you are on a good tract with using essential oils. My family and I use oregano oil and have used it for different types of infections for over 20 years. On our small farm, we have had family dogs get struck by rattlesnakes and have treated them at home utilizing Oil of oregano and Vitamin C to cure 4 out 4 dogs that have been struck over the years in 4 to 5 days. giving them Oregano Oil and Vitamin C morning and night in their foods and sometimes having to stick down their throats. From 16 weeks of age to 15 years of age.
Oil of Oregano is Anti Viral, Anti biotic, anti parasitic, anti venom, and the only negative I have ever come across is if someone is allergic to herbs from the mint family, might not be able to take oregano oil. It has helped us with pneumonia infections, covid BS. but now have a source for ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine without prescription from a pharmacy in India. You never know what things big pharma is putting in drugs. Just for kicks look up the safety data sheet on SM 102, Then look at the ingredients of the Moderna Covid 19 vaccine. Don't trust Big Pharma or most doctors. God Puts everything on the planet for our needs. That does not include Big pharma poisons. God Bless.

Hi, Madelyn, I’m not the person you asked, but I’ll answer your question. My favorite Colloidal Silver is that which I ‘brew’ at home. Terry Chamberlin, posted above about colloidal silver, makes it very easy to do this. He sells an electrical device on his FB group, The Natural Health Library. The only added things you need, are a large, wide-mouth glass jar, and eventually, replacement silver wires, which he does indicate the source for. It’s $235, plus shipping from Canada. That makes it very inexpensive in the long run. I have several gallons per week, myself. I hope this helps!!Replied by Rob from Kentucky on 10/10/2025
@ MadelynI've been making my own Colloidal Silver since 1990. I use 3 - 9volt batteries = 27 volts with 2 - 1oz silver canadian bars .9999 pure. Run it for 3 hours. This makes Ionic Colloidal Silver 10ppm.

I'm really concerned because my daughter developed ulcerative colitis overnight and was diagnosed with alpha-gal. So did my young granddaughter who vomits if she eats or touches any animal product. Do you recommend oregano for both of them?Replied by Rob from Kentucky on 11/04/2025
