oil of oregano helps stall
 

just wanted to let you all know, i have reached 125 pounds today 2 pounds from my goal, and it has all started moving again since i started taking one oil of oregano capsule. my mom was told at curves that this helps with stomach bloat and gets rid of toxic build ups, and it fights off infections, so i thought lets give it a try. i tried it, first thing that happened was i didnt sleep, found out you must take it in the morning not at night, then had some neon green P** for about 3 days and after that wow in 2 weeks i have lost 8 pounds, without changing much, just added the oil of oregano capsule. i bought mine at fred meyers in the health section 11 dollars a bottle. 50 mg oregano oil, 25 flaxseed oil. maybe it can help others

It may be worth a try.....Thanks

it has worked for me, im not a doctor but i havent had any problems with it, actually this way of life has helped my ibs. i havent had any problems for about 3 months. it is all natural no additives so i thought i would try it along with my mom and she has had great luck with it too.

Congratulations on breaking that stall !!!

Did it help you lose inches too? Do your clothes feel looser?

Woo Hoo, Sixpence! Go Pacers! Bummer about Artest.

I'm definitely going to have to hunt me down some oil of oregano!!

Hey, scorpio. It is a bummer about Artest. Harrington and Bender will need to step up in a major way!!!

I've been a huge Pacer fan since 1989 (at the tender age of 12). The sad thing is, only two or three years later was the last time that I was around my goal weight of 185!!!! But, I'm storming towards my six year low of 225!!!

it really has made me lose inches, im wearing a size 7 pants today that im giving to the thrift store tomorrow. they feel huge. i have been wearing my 5's but i thought not to much difference between the two until i put these on. the rearend is so baggy, my legs look like i should put both in one leg, and the waist is falling off all the time. i have had great luck with it and only on it two weeks. its hard to find pure though. this is the brand i bought NATURES WAY, they also have a website to get it. good luck.

It doesn't give you indigeston?

I just found a good price for Nature's Way online. I searched several places, and this one had the best price....

Sixpence...I sure hope this isn't the beginning of the end (again)!

This ones not "Natures Way" but it does have 150mg of Oregano oil.

the one i got was take once a day. i have another brand i had tried dont like it as much. it hasnt given me heartburn or anything. the other brand i have is a powder this is actually i capsule full of oil. the powder doesnt seem to work as well.

So I'm wondering if 150 mg would do a better/faster job than 50 mg?

oil of oregano-- is it something u can cook with/put on salads too, or do u have to take the pill form?

Congrats 2brickie!

I use the GNC liquid oil of oregano. Oil of Oregano in liquid form is very strong. I don't think you would enjoy it on salads. I've been reading around, and some say that oil of oregano is very helpful in fighting yeast overgrowth in the digestive tract.

The yeast thing is where it probably helped with the stall. Yeast overgrowth, Atkins says is a well known staller.

well i wouldnt take to much it makes you to busy and you cant sleep. you cant take the kind you cook with

So, Brickie.....you think 50mg is the max you should take? I'm going to stop at the health food store on my way home.

from my own experience, the 50 mg is good, i started taking another brand 2 a day, and i was so wound up i couldnt sleep at night. just seems the one of 50 mg has really kicked in for me after about exactly 2 weeks. i will continue to take it, up until the time i have lost my last 2 pounds.

Brickie, what do you mean when you say 'wound up'? Does it cause any constipation or diarrhea problem by taking this?

:rose: Rose

no like i cant sleep i was wide awake, it really gives me alot of energy. if anything it should help with the constipation.

hmmm, i'm thinking of trying it now =) has it helped anyone else with the stall though? Any side effects? Brikie--how long did u have to take it for before noticing the whoosh (congrats by the way, u must be soooo happy!)

Well, I picked up some at a HFS last night. But they only had it in the 150mg. I took one this morning, so we'll see what happens as far as being "wound up" goes. I'll update to this thread if anything unusual happens.....like if I have so much energy that I actually feel like working on a Friday afternoon when my boss is out of town! LOL :-)

No one over 140lb has jumped into this thread to buy the newest magic bullet.

What exactly does the oil of oregano do in your system.?

yeah, I'm also a bit curious although there was a thread earlier that it helps with bloating (i think i have ibs or a yeast so bloating is a big problem!) But what does the liquid form taste like? I heard the liquid was better than the tablet, and also good source of fatty acids-- i find olive oil to be too mild, so maybe i would like it on salads?

the liquid form you can buy in the gel caps, my mom has bought it in nevada, actually the natures way i take is liquid inside one of those capsules you can see it. i have taken the powder capsule and took 2 a day. i took it for about 2 weeks before the scale moved, but the pants started becoming baggy about 4 days into it. i just wanted to let you all know it worked for me in my last few pounds. im down another 1/2 pound this morning after eating what i felt like was a ton yesterday. i have 1 1/2 pounds to go to reach my goal of 123 so i figure whatever it did im happy. i need to update my profile today. good luck

WOW!

I knew that oil of oregano helps with migrane troubles but for stalls, it sounds like a great thing. It probably has positive effects also that you or I don't know yet. In ancient times, natural oils were all there were for medications.

Great job on you weigh loss sucess!

we have a friend who is a holistic vet, she says oil of oregano is good for many things, but she never dreamed it would boost the weight loss so fast. she takes it for an immunity builder. i know she gives it to my horses for something, and whatever she does they love her. when she comes around they all just perk their ears up and wait for their turn. i will continue to use it, and see if it continues to work.
