Oregano oil is a wonderful supplement to use - it is certainly a staple in our household. I mainly use oregano as an infection fighter. It is a powerful anti-infectious agent which works well against bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. It is one of the main supplements I use to help my 7 month-old daughter who has no spleen to fight infection on her own. However, to my knowledge, I don't believe it has the right constituents to shrink growths and tumors the way Frankincense does.

According to Dr. David Stewart, "Sespuiterpenes are compounds containing three isoprene units, which is fifteen carbons and twenty-four hydrogens per molecule - molecular weight 204 amu for a hydrocarbon sespuiterpene. There are more than 10,000 kinds of sespuiterpenes.

. . . Sesquiterpene molecules deliver oxygen molecules to cells, like hemoglobin does in the blood. Sespuiterpenes can also erase or deprogram miswritten codes in cellular memory. Sesquiterpenes are thought to be especially effective in fighting cancer. The root problem with a cancer cell is that it contains misinformation, and sespuiterpenes can delete that garbled information. At the same time the oxygen carried by sesquiterpene molecules creates an environment where cancer cells can't reproduce. Hence, sespuiterpenes deliver cancer cells a double punch - one that disables their coded misbehavior and a second that stops their growth.

The American Medical Association (AMA) has said that if they could find an agent that would pass the blood-brain barrier, they would be able to find cures for ailments such as Lou Gehrig's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Such agents already exist and have been available since Biblical times. The agents, of course, are essential oils - particularly those containing the brain oxygenating molecules of sesquiterpenes."

Frankincense can be taken the same way you take the oregano oil. I usually use the Young Living brand, but I'm sure there's a lot of good sources for it. You just have to make sure you are getting a pure oil that does not have fillers added to it.
