Dr. Cass Igram
is a physician, educator and author of over 10 books, including his latest, 'The Cure is in
The Cupboard.
Down in the Trenches
I spent
the better part of 1995-1996 investigating the therapeutic values of wild
Oregano, and publishing the first book on its health benefits called, The Cure is in
The Cupboard. I call wild Oregano nature's most versatile essential oil.
Oregano oil is a power-house for: Fighting yeast, fungus (skin and
blood-born) Knocking out allergies, hay fever and sinusitis And stopping
infections (cold and flu).
I learned about its strength first hand, as I
suffered from a blood-born fungal infection that incapacitated me several
years ago. I had to close my practice and move home to live. I tried everything,
and ultimately discovered the potent antiseptic activity of wild Oregano. It put
me back on my feet.
Of late, the antiallergic feedback I have received
has been most impressive. Although the oil of Oregano has been used since
ancient times to fight yeast, fungal and viral infections, Oregano's ability to
wipe out allergies, runny nose, sinusitis and nasal drip has taken me by
surprise.
Anti Allergy Properties
Please
understand, you are not going to get any better eating a pizza! Wild, crude,
mountain grown Oregano (from the Mediterranean) is the -- only kind -- that is
naturally rich in 'Carvacrols Flavonoids and Terpenes' which give the Oregano
its tremendous strength. Carvacrol is a natural phenol which contains powerful
anti microbial activity. Flavonoids provide natural antiseptic properties, and
Terpenes (long chain hydrocarbons) are natural anti-inflammatory agents.
Natural Decongestant
I consider
Carvacrol, Flavonoids and Terpenes to be mother nature's antihistamines and
decongestants. In my book, I review a case whereby a man, 6 foot 4 inches and
250 pounds, was suffering in his own secretions (from an allergy attack). Four
drops of the Oil of
Oregano put him back on his feet in five minutes! The oil I use and
recommend, made by North American Herb and Spice Company has over 70% Carvacrol
by weight. That is a abundance of healing power. Please beware of cheap
imitations, only this brand is 100% pure, wild Oregano oil. It may be use
internally and topically. Other brands of Oregano oil are often unsafe and
adulterated.
Modern Uses of Oregano
As we
enter into another allergy season every potential suffererneeds to know that
wild Oregano is capable of halting your next allergy in its tracks. I use it to
fight allergies, and you should too, because it's effective, reliable and safe.
Over the counter drugs have side effects, and they are not your only option.
This season and try the natural approach first. Don't be a victim of allergies
anymore. Wild Oregano overpowers them every time.
How to Use Oregano
Keep in
mind, wild Oregano also knocks out fungus and infection. There are two ways to
take the wild Oregano: in the form of capsules (Oregamax
Capsules), and oil (Oil of Oregano). Use the Oregano Oil topically to
fight fungal infections of the nail bed, athlete's foot, psoriasis and other
stubborn skin disorders. And always take the crushed herb (Oregamax
Capsules) internally (A few daily) to attack the infection from every angle.
The Oil of
Oregano may also be used internally (taken under the tongue), to infiltrate
the body with Oregano's antiseptic healing properties. I call wild Oregano Oil a
'Medicine Chest in a Bottle,' and every medicine chest is incomplete without
this versatile essential oil
Dr. Cass Igram recommends the Oil of
Oregano (.5 fluid oz.) and Oregamax
Capsules (90 per bottle). Note: Nutrition World sells only the brand
Dr. Igram uses. Both the Oregano Oil and capsules are about a 30 day supply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After
trying this myself and finding the relief of pain and inflammation as I have I
have to share this with all of you and encourage you to at least try it -
please. My comments follow the pasted in portion off the web.
I
have used the Oil of Oreganol internally for some time but only recently (the
last couple of weeks) read the book and learned of the healing power
EXTERNALLY.
My right elbow has been very painful and inflamed (all puffed
up) for some time. I took a couple drops (you don't need more than that in
most cases) and softly rubbed it over the elbow area. In about half
an hour the swelling had gone down and the pain for the most part had
left!!! I did this again the next few days and now the elbow is almost
pain free and no swelling at all!! Soft & gentle is the key - do not
rub it in hard... no need to do that. You want the oil to absorb into the
area.
I also tried it on my right hip which has been extremely painful
for about a year. I was having a hard time sleeping on my right side
because of the pain in the hip. I now can sleep on my right side without
any pain.
As you know I have been going in for deep tissue massage once a
week to relief the pain, knots, and scar tissue in my right shoulder and going
up into my neck. Even though the massage therapists have been VERY good
they have all commented about not ever working on anyone with such a resistant
set of muscles as I have. After applying the Oil to that area - the
therapist commented to me last week that the muscles seem to have softened some
from how they have been. Also, the pain that has been emanating from the
shoulder up to my skull has almost gone away.
I have also applied the Oil
to my chest in hopes of improving my breathing - It is
helping.
Another area I am finding it to be healing is a couple varicose
veins on my leg. More info on this in the book.
I am still taking
it under my tongue twice a day (5 drops or so) but the external application has
definitely made marked improvements and in a couple areas - the pain has gone
away.
Since I have had such terrific results I want to share this with
you and I would hope that you would get the book and see all the things this
works on. Then buy the Oil - please get the brand on Ingram's page
and don't settle for a *cheaper brand*. I know this brand works!!!
The book can be found on the web and the oil and the book can be purchased at
most all Health Food stores.
I can't express how much I appreciate the
good from this Oil - when you live with pain as I have and to find
something NATURAL that really works!!!! well, you want to share that with
others.
