Default Oil of Oregano or Coconut Oil?

Or both?
I have a positive yeast test, several yeast symptoms, and have only lost 2 pounds over 12 days of Induction, with minimal cheats (I know, that doesn't help at all, but I want to kick the yeast regardless)

I bought Garlic supplements, and Acido/Bifidum probiotics.
I have yet to purchase Oil of Oregano. Is it really the most effective one? I want to get what works.

Whats' the deal with coconut oil? Is it an alternative to OoO or an addition to it?

Thanks!! I will also be following Dr A's regimen for the yeast cleanse from his book, though I do see he doesn't actually ban mayo and cream and decaf, why? they are potentially mouldy no?

Caprylic acid is the anti-fungal component of coconut oil.
If you want to eat coconut oil, I'd buy Virgin Coconut Oil, but I wouldn't bother thinking that it's going to be very anti-fungal -- for that you really need the caprylic acid.

Oil of oregano is supposed to be one of the strongest anti-fungals that exists.

I've used Oil of Oregno in the past for yeast with great results. But if you can, buy the liquid drops rather than the capsules, it seems to work better.

I dont know how well coconut oil works on yeast but i tried it for a week to see if it would help me through a stall (didnt work, gained a lb instead) and i had an unexpected result when it made my wart on my finger go away.

Hello,

I agree with Misnagid. Caprylic acid is the anti-fungal component of coconut oil and one of the most potent nondrug or natural yeast-fighting substances. Actually, all of coconut oil's medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) - caprylic, capric and lauric acids have antifungal properties.

Cheers,
Frederick

Is there a better way to take Oil of Oregano besides subjecting the tender undersides of your tongue to molten lava that tastes like Listerine x 1000000??

Wow! I never knew Oil of Oregano tasted so horrid... I was thinking of getting some for my son...
Did you find a way to make it palatable, hullabaloo?

Default Re: Oil of Oregano or Coconut Oil?

Yes, I have found the solution for my poor tongue, lol. I drop the drops in under my tongue as written on the bottle. Then I immediately take a gulp of water and swish it quick and swallow fast. Then I do it again and swallow fast. Then I just finish the water normally and no taste. Just don't put it under the tongue and hope for the best, it's nasty!! Have water on standby!
