an allergic reaction is dehydration or acid accumulations and toxic morbid matters(undigested rotting food) stored in the tissues. oregano oil will do the same thing. they also both will cause this leaky cell thing. neither should be used to excess and both can have tolerences built up to them. one drop per day is all i have ever heard anyone suggest as an ongoing therapy or lifestyle choice. this does not count commercial sites selling the stuff. i am sure melaluca company would love you to use a bottle a day.

Hey Kebod,

Can you do me a favor and post this on the KP forum? I just told people to add it, but they must do so carefully, as I see.

Thanks.

any reaction you are going to get from oregano oil is going to be to something that should not be in you. i can assure you i have taken a lot of it and the only thing that i noticed was that my guts were starting to swell. it does make cell membranes more permeable. but i took a bunch and bathed in a ton of it to get that way. i still bathe in it. man, that stuff straightens out my skin.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to take a vacation from it. In the future, you might want to try diluting the oregano oil 1 or 2 drops to a cup of the oil you're pulling with. Or you could infuse the pulling oil with actual oregano from your spice cabinet.

In the meantime, you could try infusing your pulling oil with fresh garlic, which has astounding healing and anti-everything properties. Add 1 clove crushed fresh garlic to 1/2 to 1 cup of the oil you're pulling with, and store it that way. Shake before use.

Another idea would be to pull with virgin coconut oil until your sore heals. That also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. My skin LOVES that stuff. I have had no new pimples or breakouts *anywhere* since I started slathering it on all over. It is antibacterial enough, I've been using VCO instead of deodorant, and it's working just as well as the store-bought aluminum compound sticks. All my little bugbites and sores are healing beautifully. I had a lot of skin problems before starting the CureZone cleansing/detox routines.

You know, I am so excited to be here on CureZone. My faith teaches that God has given us everything we need for vibrant, full health, and it all springs from the earth. I have always leaned towards naturopathic healing, but CureZone has really amplified my self-care arsenal in an amazing manner. Learning about Bentonite clay, oil pulling, SWFs, Humaworm and VCO among other things just reinforces those lessons all the more. How could I have missed out on all these great things for so long?? CureZone ROCKS!! :)
