5.0 out of 5 stars To all the skeptics & those who have actually tried it!, January 15, 2003

By 

David C. Post (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cure Is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for Better Health (Revised Edition) (Paperback)

To the skeptics first: There are authorities of every kind in every area of life. There are those who believe what other people say and don't check things out for themselves. We love to depend on others, especially those hired by the government, by the church & the industry sanctioned experts who are eager to tell us what is good for us, what is true and what is false. In the realm of health, diet, food and medicine it is no different. If one is of this follower mentality we have difficulty differentiating the lies and the sales pitches from fact. If it goes along with our already conditioned (lazy) thinking or comes from an "expert" we buy into it. In the case of Wild Oregano, or more precisely, Oregamax sold by North American Herb and Spice, the proof is in the using of it; the book is merely a simple guide to its use and what ailments it is useful for.

Every body's body is a little different but one thing we all have in common is nutritional needs and we will never get them met from the government-sanctioned food pyramid. Our immune system is either functioning well or not functioning well. Our nutritional status is totally dependent on what we eat and what pathogens and toxins we are consuming in our air, water and food. Wild Oregano is remarkable in its healing effect on the body and in its ability to rid the body of parasites, pathogens & toxins as well as feed the body minerals and antioxidants; if you have used Oregamax according to Ingrams recommendations you will be probably be nodding your head, yes this is true. If you have not used the product you are probably asking where is the proof, where is the scientific evidence, not realizing that scientific evidence merely means money to the scientists (the pharmaceutical companies) and disease to the consumer. Unfortunately the medical profession including doctors, hospitals and the pharmaceutical (chemical) industries do not want you to have your health. There is no money in it for them. So a product that grows wild in the Middle East and costs pennies to harvest, dry and encapsulate is not something that they would be interested in, especially if it caused you to no longer need their assistance to regain your health. They (the doctors) have one of the shortest life spans in America. They follow their own advice and unfortunately we are so naive and gullible we fall for their greedy tactics. This way of thinking is not only happening in the areas of health, medicine and food it is rampant in our society with little to no awareness that it is happening to us, that it is us. We are doing it to ourselves by depending on authorities, which we believe are concerned about our health, when in fact they are concerned about our money. We rank 24th in the world in longevity and spent 1.3 billion dollars last year on health care. Figure that one out for yourself. Actually it is evident what is happening but we must get out of denial about our lives and become our own teachers, our own doctors, and our own food preparers, being more careful about what we eat, supporting organic food producers and learning how to prepare food that won't shorten our lives, using doctors and their marvelous diagnostic devices to find out what is wrong with us then investigating into what we must do to correct our own health.

My experience with Wild Oil of Oregano and Oregamax is amazing and not just a cerebral bit of wishful thinking. In three weeks of using the products I was over a life long illness of stomach and intestinal problems, after three months of taking the products at the higher dosages I reduced to a maintance dose for the next six months. That was four years ago and I must tell you that I have not had a reoccurrence of the dreadful digestive problems and associated illnesses I once had. In addition to that I have a real feeling of well being in my entire body and brain. Whatever it was that was bothering me; bacteria in my stomach, bacteria, viruses, parasites in my intestines, ditto in my organs, brain etc., whatever was living in me that should not have been is gone or reduced in number to a level that my body can tolerate. I must ad that I have used other supplements including; colostrum, MSM, TRC liquid minerals along with a change to a more natural food diet. Not a health food store diet but a truly natural food diet (buy Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon from Amazon.com & log on to the Weston A Price Foundation web site for honest information on diet).

To those who have actually tried the wild oregano products it goes without mentioning the amazing health results one can experience. When I asked a few friends of mine who grew up in the Middle East what they knew about wild oregano, they told me that it is a staple of their diet, used as a condiment to flavor food but with the knowledge of its medicinal uses. They receive packages from their families which contain the same wild oregano we can easily get through mail order. I recommend the book "The Cure is in the Cupboard" since the medical research will probably never be done to confirm its medicinal properties. If it were they would try to patent it, make it a controlled substance and raise the price out of sight.

For those who need the approval of their doctor and the USDA, the pharmaceutical companies and the food producers to qualify everything, please begin to think for yourself, question every thing you have been told, educate yourself and experiment a bit and find out what is true and what is a money making down right lie, otherwise you will be just like most of the rest of the population, exploited for your money at the expense of your health. Cass Ingram is on the right track.

This review is from: The Cure Is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for Better Health (Revised Edition) (Paperback)

You might as well ignore the other reviews in this section. I've been studying health for 25 years. There are about 5 books that are absolute musts and this is one of them. I have personally used the suggestions in the book with unbelieveable results. So have my patients. My pollen allergies are the worse I've ever seen. Dr. Igram's advice works better than you could ever imagine. I'm 99% symptom free. God bless Cass Igram and this book. From asthma to infectious diseases to all types digestive problems, this book can steer you right.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cure Is In The Cupboard, March 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cure Is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for Better Health (Revised Edition) (Paperback)

Although we are believers of alternative medicine and herbal remedies, after reading some of the reviews, I was a bit skeptical. However, I initially ordered the book. I felt that the advice was basically sound so I tried the Oil and the capsules (Oregamax) to see if I could get relief for sinusitis without using prescription antibiotics. The results were truly amazing, and, even though the products may be on the expensive side, I have become a believer in what Dr. Igram is saying, since I received relief from symptoms within 48 hours of starting to use the products.

One word to the consumer, however, if you use the 800#, I found that they quote a "full retail" price. The oil and capsules of the same brand name are now available from other sources that may provide lower prices. This book is well worth owning.... even if one takes only one or two hints out of it for general proctection against bacteria and/or infections (without specifically targeting an illness).
