[.ca] The Cure is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for ... (ISBN 0911119744)

Enlightening:
Enlightening is the only way to describe this book and the revelation that the herb oregano can do so much. In researching my book, I traveled in many different directions, healthwise, but when I heard someone hawking oregano on an infomercial, I thought that this was another farfetched health claim. However, it did peek my interest, so I bought Dr. Ingram's book just to satisfy my curiousity. Besides the fact that he did such a marvelous job in laying out the case for oregano and the many benefits that it has to your health, I found it very captivating reading and finished it very quickly, using my highlighter along the way. I highly recommend this book for anyone seriously wanting to improve their health or even just to round out their education. One note; make sure you get the right oregano...most of it does not have the medicinal qualities of the wild oregano grown in Europe. Also, oregano is such a good anti-bacterial, if you swallow too much, too often, you could disrupt the balance of the beneficial bacteria residing in your intestines. (Sublingual, under the tongue mixed with olive oil works well.) Andrew Keith, author of Aging Is NOT An Option!

Wild Oregano Works - My Sinus Problems Are Receding:
I bought the Oreganol (Oil of Oregano in a bottle with medicine dropper). It has cleared up my sinus problems (not all the way - yet - but I have suffered for 25 years). I can now breathe through my nose. I changed my voicemail at work; my voice is now clear (no more obnoxious sinus drip and foggy voice). A lot of sinus infections are caused by fungi - not bacteria (according to Dr. Ingram). That's why antibiotics are useless. In fact, penicillin and derivatives will feed fungi growth. If you are a chronic sinus sufferer (or suffer from asthma or bronchitis), read the book and buy the products. You will regain your health and have energy.

To all the skeptics & those who have actually tried it!:
To the skeptics first: There are authorities of every kind in every area of life. There are those who believe what other people say and don't check things out for themselves. We love to depend on others, especially those hired by the government, by the church & the industry sanctioned experts who are eager to tell us what is good for us, what is true and what is false. In the realm of health, diet, food and medicine it is no different. If one is of this follower mentality we have difficulty differentiating the lies and the sales pitches from fact. If it goes along with our already conditioned (lazy) thinking or comes from an "expert" we buy into it. In the case of Wild Oregano, or more precisely, Oregamax sold by North American Herb and Spice, the proof is in the using of it; the book is merely a simple guide to its use and what ailments it is useful for. Every body's body is a little different but one thing we all have in common is nutritional needs and we will never get them met from the government-sanctioned food pyramid. Our immune system is either functioning well or not functioning well. Our nutritional status is totally dependent on what we eat and what pathogens and toxins we are consuming in our air, water and food. Wild Oregano is remarkable in its healing effect on the body and in its ability to rid the body of parasites, pathogens & toxins as well as feed the body minerals and antioxidants; if you have used Oregamax according to Ingrams recommendations you will be probably be nodding your head, yes this is true. If you have not used the product you are probably asking where is the proof, where is the scientific evidence, not realizing that scientific evidence merely means money to the scientists (the pharmaceutical companies) and disease to the consumer. Unfortunately the medical profession including doctors, hospitals and the pharmaceutical (chemical) industries do not want you to have your health. There is no money in it for them. So a product that grows wild in the Middle East and costs pennies to harvest, dry and encapsulate is not something that they would be interested in, especially if it caused you to no longer need their assistance to regain your health. They (the doctors) have one of the shortest life spans in America. They follow their own advice and unfortunately we are so naive and gullible we fall for their greedy tactics. This way of thinking is not only happening in the areas of health, medicine and food it is rampant in our society with little to no awareness that it is happening to us, that it is us. We are doing it to ourselves by depending on authorities, which we believe are concerned about our health, when in fact they are concerned about our money. We rank 24th in the world in longevity and spent 1.3 billion dollars last year on health care. Figure that one out for yourself. Actually it is evident what is happening but we must get out of denial about our lives and become our own teachers, our own doctors, and our own food preparers, being more careful about what we eat, supporting organic food producers and learning how to prepare food that won't shorten our lives, using doctors and their marvelous diagnostic devices to find out what is wrong with us then investigating into what we must do to correct our own health. My experience with Wild Oil of Oregano and Oregamax is amazing and not just a cerebral bit of wishful thinking. In three weeks of using the products I was over a life long illness of stomach and intestinal problems, after three months of taking the products at the higher dosages I reduced to a maintance dose for the next six months. That was four years ago and I must tell you that I have not had a reoccurrence of the dreadful digestive problems and associated illnesses I once had. In addition to that I have a real feeling of well being in my entire body and brain. Whatever it was that was bothering me; bacteria in my stomach, bacteria, viruses, parasites in my intestines, ditto in my organs, brain etc., whatever was living in me that should not have been is gone or reduced in number to a level that my body can tolerate. I must ad that I have used other supplements including; colostrum, MSM, TRC liquid minerals along with a change to a more natural food diet. Not a health food store diet but a truly natural food diet (buy Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon from Amazon.com & log on to the Weston A Price Foundation web site for honest information on diet). To those who have actually tried the wild oregano products it goes without mentioning the amazing health results one can experience. When I asked a few friends of mine who grew up in the Middle East what they knew about wild oregano, they told me that it is a staple of their diet, used as a condiment to flavor food but with the knowledge of its medicinal uses. They receive packages from their families which contain the same wild oregano we can easily get through mail order. I recommend the book "The Cure is in the Cupboard" since the medical research will probably never be done to confirm its medicinal properties. If it were they would try to patent it, make it a controlled substance and raise the price out of sight. For those who need the approval of their doctor and the USDA, the pharmaceutical companies and the food producers to qualify everything, please begin to think for yourself, question every thing you have been told, educate yourself and experiment a bit and find out what is true and what is a money making down right lie, otherwise you will be just like most of the rest of the population, exploited for your money at the expense of your health. Cass Ingram is on the right track.

Oregano is Hyssop in the Bible... No germ grows in Hyssop!:
Finally, a cure for the Flu, Sinusitis, and Common Cold. I caught a radio program featuring Cass Ingram two years go by chance. The first words I heard him utter, "Oregano is Hyssop in the Bible, no germ will grow in Hyssop." It was like a lightning bolt. Since then, my entire family, and all of my friends, and a few close coworkers use oil, juice, and ground oregano. If skeptical just take a look at your local supermarket spice shelf. I noticed in all of my local supermarkets the Mediterranean Oregano is 3-4 times more expensive than the ordinary Oregano. Why? I started off with the supermarket Mediterranean Oregano, just in my cooking. What a difference! No more popping joints, sinusitis, or asthma symptoms. I wonder if it works on ALL viruses?

Effective:
My wife does not believe in herbal remedies, however she will occasionally try something I suggest because she hates to go to the doctor even more. Unfortunately she is prone to bladder infections and generally has had to go to the family doctor to get an antibiotic, but only after she has suffered for days. I had purchased some oregamax capsules and the last two times she has started to get the symptoms of her bladder infection she consented to try them. She experienced relief virtually overnight on both occassions.
