Default Oil of Oregano and cabbage

Hi. There is a huge thread here about the benefits of Oil of Oregano. Can't seem to find it today. Anyway, sounded interesting and possibly an aid to weight loss, bloat, yeast etc. I bought a bottle a few days ago. $27.95. Ouch! It didn't help me to go to the bathroom as it seemed to with the others that wrote, but I did spend the first day burping. Sore stomach as well. Maybe it was killing all that nasty yeast???? Been taking it for five days now. Had to buy some E Laxs. Weird. BUT, this morning my weight is down 3 lbs!!!!! I have also been trying to eat more cabbage which is also suppose to help.....Very strange. Thought I would pass this info along. Bye Suzanne

This bloating, burping tummy pains sound a lot like yeast die off symptoms to me...

I had very similar symptoms for about a week. Now it's all normal

In the website I posted I found that many people have found the OOO at different prices, one even as low at $11.00.

Actually, I got mine for $8.09. And I've seen it on the web for as little as $3.50 per bottle.

I got mine for $8.09. I called around and some stores had the the oil (140 mgs) for $30...for the same # of pills! Mine are 150 mgs!

I've been on it over a week and FINALLY had some scale movement. About 3 pounds. I am tettering on the brink of my 1st goal...to break into the 120's. I am now at 130! So close! Just call around to find the best price...and avoid the S/H you'd pay if you bought online.

The differences in price seem to be based on whether it is "wild" oregano or standardized oregano.

Slawrie is also in Canada, so the cost may be more.

I found the bottle of 11.99 oil of oregano works for me, so do check around and find the best price for yourself.

2Brickie,

There's an OoO club?!! As soon as I get mine in the mail I want to join! ha ha
I hope it works for me (weight loss) as it has for a lot of people, but if it doesnt i guess it has some other good benefits too..

Thanks again for sharing your info with us!

I'm just wondering...how many do you take a day? I have the 150mg ones. I have been taking it just once a day. I haven't noticed anything different for me...yet again..I was stuck at the same weight for a while and now my weight seems to be going down again.
