Hello Denise: I have a type of schleroderma called LS which affects the genital area - not fun! Also have autoimmune of the thyroid. Have been researching the studies and have found that a type of bacteria in the tissues of these diseases are acid-fact Bacilli. They wonder if it is a bacteria that starts the whole thing. Well I just started taking Oregano Oil and am hoping that given the information of above that it will kill the bacteria since it kills a lot of super bugs. I am hoping this works. I think oregano is a start, avoiding all foods that are man-made is another idea. GO RAW...I feel better already.

I have scleroderma and have been doing research also. I've currently had luck with Kyolic garlic caps 3 x day and raw garlic for a UTI. Pain went away the first day. When I stopped taking it pain came back, went back on it-pain went away. So I'm going to take it for 2 weeks. It got rid of Candida and white tongue before! I want to try oregano oil but I am concerned about taking it with my acid med-Nexium or I may switch to compounded Prevacid with no sugar.
I'd like to share research info on scleroderma with you Kim. I also have thyroid autoimmune issue.

Hi Denise,
I also have scleroderma. I want to take oregano oil too, but I'm concerned about the right dosage. How much did you take for the 3 weeks? Did you start at that dose or lower? Were you using drops or capsule? How many mg? Were you on Nexium, Prevacid or any other acid med?

I've read so many good things about Oregano. I really want to try it. Thanks for sharing!
