oil of oregano is the nature's strongest anti- parasite anti-fungal anti-bacterial agent. Consider buying a high quality oil of oregano and try rubbing it on your skin. You can also take oil of oregano internally in limited amounts (a few drops at a time).

A high quality oil of oregano is produced by North American Herb & Spice (NAHS). You can find this in health food stores like Whole Foods. I found a website on the web that sells this at a lower price than my local health food stores. Here it is: http://www.vitacost.com/NorthAmericanHerbSpiceNAHS

I personally use the Super Strength formula by NAHS on my skin, and have seen that it cleared many areas on my skin.

You can also do your own search on the web for a high quality oil of oregano. The reason that I suggested NAHS to you is that it is the first company to start producing oil of oregano in the USA using high quality oregano.. And their oils are used by many researchers to test the properties of oil of oregano.

Oh boy!

Please, please, be careful with oregano oil!!! ALWAYS dilute it with mixing oil! (Any good edible oil.)

It can burn forever!

My husband, on the other hand, takes a drop or two directly into his mouth, every morning. Yikes!!!

(When you consider that two drops of a good oregano oil will flavor a whole big tall pot of spagetti sauce...well, don't say I didn't warn you.)

And...uh, the reason I'm reading here is that I have this awful stinging itch in a very sensitive place, which I'm NOT going to mention, and I'm going to put coconut oil mixed with 1 drop of oregano oil on it...just as soon as I get up the nerve!

I'm already drinking a glass of water with one drop in it, but I put a small piece of coconut oil in my mouth first.

Later, I'll put a piece of coconut oil the size of a large egg into a dish, stir in one drop of the oregano, and apply to you-know-where, after a sitz bath...or two.

Maybe I'll put on some plain coconut oil first.

Your suggestion resonated with me, Curly.

"Oh, of course!!! And I need help with my gums, too. Lower centrals...connected to the small intestine...what else? It's candida overgrowth, folks. A fungus. Why didn't I think of that sooner?"

I'll let you know what happens.

Otherwise, you know where to ship the body, don't you?

(Grinning.)

Wow! That makes perfect sense, Sandinista.

Reporting:

I didn't do the oregano/coconut oil salve last night, but just an hour ago. Plain coconut oil first (after thorough bathing in clear tapwater).

I made my ointment of a piece of regular coconut oil about the size of 1/3 of an egg, and added 1 drop of the oregano, in a ceramic dish...stirred with a metal spoon. This made plenty for about 5 - 6 applications. (I use a cover of folded paper towel for a while, to save clothing.)

It isn't 'hot', thank goodness. I may add another drop of oregano to the pot.

The brand of oregano is 'Joy of the Mountains' wild oregano, in a base of 25% extra-virgin olive oil. (That's why my husband can take it under his tongue!)

Another oregano product I like is Watkin's Italian herbal mix. We sprinkle it on salads and into any cooked dish. It's great with eggs. If you buy the Watkin's products be certain that you get the straight herbals. They have another that is intended to make Italian salad dressing, although it's a good product, too.

All Watkins herbs and spices are of very good quality.

So, that's what I've done so far. I'll let you know what happens.

...And I'll keep my garlic handy, too.

Thanks, everyone.

Yes! Garlic is superb! I picked up this ringworm when i was traveling. I didn't know it was ringworm until it formed like a ring. I used Garlic and cover the area overnight everynight and day time as well. It's been 5 days now and i have to say that it's almost gone now! I should have taken before/after photo to show people how powerful garlic is against ringworm!

Didn't work.

It soothed, somewhat, but probably because the air wasn't getting to it for a while. Then it was back with a vengance.

I've eaten some junk over the holidays...cheeses, a little sugar, and I broke out with a few hives in various places.

Just read "Don't allow ANY oregano oil on the body's most sensitive skin." So, I stopped.

I'll try the zapping next, I think. Garlic would probably also be too strong, and I eat it regularly, in any case.

Ozonated olive oil. Also put him in a bath with the stone bubbling ozone into the water. He won't even know he's being treated. Leave a window open as ozone can damage lungs. A bath in ozone water will kill everything on the skin and oxygenate the body.
