Hi Iko and Jan - Sorry it's taken so long.  I haven't forgotten.  I've asked my mom to write down all the pertinent details and email to me, but I havent' heard from her yet.  I'm about to go out, but I'll give her a call when I get back and try to get you an answer.

You're right, uncle iko  [] it's possible to go a bit crazy and clutch at all kinds of straws... i'll calm down.

Thanks, Carolyn - I havent't heard from the oregano people yet and any info your mum can give would be most welcome.

Hi Janetah & Iko - So sorry it's taken me so long.  Here is the dosage and instructions.  For nose spray:  Put 5-10 drops in a 1 oz. bottle of nasal spray and use as needed.  I would recommend starting out with 5 drops and add to it as he becomes acclimated with it.  It is an unpleasant taste and may burn a little bit at first, but you do get used it.  I use 8 drops in mine and my mom uses 10 in hers.  I would recommend using the spray with a pump so that its less likely to suck back in any germs in the bottle.

For the nebulizer.  Use ONLY distilled water or boiled water that has cooled down.  Add 5ml or 1 teaspoon water.  Start with 2-3 drops of oregano oil .  Again, as he becomes more comfortable with the oil, you can increase the dosage up to 4-5 drops.  Mom uses 5 drops in hers. Mom uses 5 drops in hers and used the nebulizer several times a day.

There is no exact dosage.  Do what is comfortable for you.  Also, let me say she still sometimes has to use that nebulizer, especially in the summer.  She is not 100% cured, but the difference really is night and day.  She is no longer using oxygen and is able to go and work in the garden for hours at a time with out struggling to breathe.

REMEMBER - ONLY USE WATER SOLUABLE OREGANO OIL!

Janetah - I hope & pray this helps your dad.  Please keep me informed.

Hi Carolyn,

Thank you and thank your mum, too! I'll pass this info to my father. BTW, he's doing much better now his chest infection is clearing, walking more and not using the oxygen quite so much.

Yabadabadoooo!

Thanks for the good news Janetah from Surrey UK!
Drugs are making their job in the end...it takes time.
No news good news, but I was starting to worry a bit.
Be careful with 'natural' stuff anyway: oregano oil
gives heavy hypersensitivity reactions (allergy) in
certain patients.
Take care
