I put some in orange juice one time, but it hit my top lip as I drank it. Egad did it burn!!!! You're a braver woman than me, Sigrid. I have to say, tho, it's nowhere near as bad as Tea Tree Oil.
Man that stuff tastes vile. That reminds me, I need Rosehip Tea.
I used to use Echinacea as well. Never put into flare because of it ... that I know of. I only ever used it prophylactically at the first sign of a cold. Kind of how I use the Oregano now. Usnea Barbosa is also good and Cat's Claw, both of which my naturopath recommended to me when she told me to stop taking Echinacea.
It never occurred to me that Oil of Oregano would be contra-indicated with the biologics. Hmmmmm.
I shop mostly on Queen West, the Danforth, Kensington, Bloor West (only if there's a sale) - pretty much anywhere that has neat odd shops. I must admit I just did $10 worth of retail therapy at Reitmans across from my office. I can't afford it either, but darnit, I've been sick for over 2 weeks now. I think I deserve it! That's my excuse anyway.
I'm feeling much better today, by the way. I ended up taking yesterday off work again. Brian put his foot down on Monday night, as I wept on the couch from still feeling so lousy. He called my office manager at 10:30 and told her I would not be in yesterday. I'm glad he did, as I probably would have sucked it in and toughed it out and been that much worse for it today. It made all the difference. I'm still congested and still feel as tho there's smoke in my lungs, but it's about half what it was. I have antibiotics until next Tuesday I think. Hopefully by then they'll have killed this thing dead.
Many hugs,
