Hi Carolyn!

Jerome here - Are you still reading these responses from this topic you started? Sure hope so - Great subject!!

I have a question in regard to your mom - How did your mom mix the H2orega? In her nebulizer cup did she mix it in distilled or spring water? How many drops of H2orega to how many drops of water?

I too, like millions of people, am dealing with COPD using alternative methods along with alopathic prescriptions. I have been nebulizing 3% H2O2 with some sucess and what your mother did sounds good.

THANKS!!  Jerome

Well, OK, I bought the H2orega and have been using it for a week and I do feel a difference in my breathing and more reduction of mucus build up.

Oregano oil is strong so, I put 40 drops of store bought 3% H2O2 in my nebuliser cup and added 1 drop of H2orega. I mixed it up good and transferred it into a clean dropper bottle. Then I put 20 drops of 3% H2O2 in my nebuliser cup and added 10 drops of what I had mixed and put in the dropper bottle. I do 3 - 3 mn treatments a day with this. This diluted solution seems to be working good for me. I feel that with oregano oil - a little goes a long way, may be slower results but I have to start somewhere.

I also use a product called Oralmax drops. This stuff is amazing! It greatly reduces the mucus build up and helps me breath better. It also helps gain more energy and addresses other issues.

I get these products from seacoast vitamins dot com because I have been a customer for over a year. I have tried a lot of things in the last year to cure COPD and these 2 products have given me the best and fastest results. In just 2 weeks I have cut my Pro Air use in half, I wake up in the morning with minimum mucus build up, I have more energy and I am doing more because I am breathing better. Before I started on these 2 products I was losing ground. Mucus build up in the morning took me an hour to get breathing good enough to do the basics - now I get the most done in the morning!

My short term goal is to breath so good that I no longer need prescription breathing meds and with the results I am now getting that should happen real soon!

Plenty of the compounds that Wiki lists as components of oregano oil are alkenes which will react with hydrogen peroxide to form epoxides. At least one of those (limonene oxide) is a known sensitiser.
If you already have breathing problems you might want to rethink this procedure.

Thanks Chemist!

You are right. I felt a heaviness in my lungs the first time I tried this so the next time I used water and could feel the difference so I have been doing that. There is no doubt that so far my results have been good.

Thanks for your input!!  Jerome

If this works as well as some people say it does then it could be the new Lorenzo's Oil.....

Well, I've been using origano oil for a long time now, as a part of a mix for my seasonal colds. It is pretty well-combined with other oils, like aloe vera , for example, I use this recipe described here (MOD link removed), the dosage of oregano is from 5 to 7 drops. Works great for me.

Carolyn, I came upon this forum in search of help for a relative with emphysema. In your post about oregano on 11/9/2006, you said that using oregano in her nebulizer had very positive effects on her breathing capacity. It's now 11 years later, and I'm wondering how your mother is doing, hopefully well, and whether the oregano was the answer she needed. Thanks.
