Oregano Oil May Protect Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria, Georgetown Researcher Finds

ScienceDaily (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 oil?and, in particular, carvacrol, one of oregano?s chemical components?appear to reduce infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics. These findings were presented at the American College of Nutrition?s 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 bacteria?which 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 oil?s 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. ...

lots of fresh garlic and onion - the best
tea with lemon
honey, hot milk with honey - very good
linden tea
camomile (chamomile) tea
cedar seeds
any vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables are good too

Drink LOTS of OJ, soup, rest and my personal fav SWEAT!

(What I used to do whenever I had a cold coming on....)

Get into the bedroom (got a space heater? throw it on OR crank up the heat) Put on a outfit (something comfy) shirt, pants (sweats are better) and SOCKS! Wrap yourself up in as many blankets as you can stand, and get yourself to SWEAT!

drink plenty of fluids during this! after about a good hour or two (or more if you can handle it) of sweating, get up, wash your clothes and bedding and then turn the heat back down and take a nice nap.

normally the next day I'm back up and running!

(As odd as this may sound it works great for me lol)

I used to take this but haven't for awhile. Although I do take multi-vitamins when I remember.

Curry might clear up my sinuses but that's probably it. lol

I do this too - sometimes run the shower and sit in there with clothes in and sweat. Steam and warmth definitely help but do not cure.

Go to your local health food store and buy a product called "Wellness." It comes in tablets and capsules. Good stuff!
