Thank you for that post...VERY interesting!!

Hi Darlene,

Thanks for sharing your experience with using Oil of Oregano for yeast infections.

Oregano oil has a number of antimicrobial properties. Studies show the ingredients in virgin coconut oil may be effective against yeast and candida infections.

It's great to see you had such a positive experience from using oregano oil. I'm sure other visitors to this website can benefit from your experience.

Okay, this is a bit embarrassing but I feel it may help others with this problem. In January of 2011 I developed a horrible UTI. I Went on antibiotics; infection came back within 6 weeks and went on another round of antibiotics (Cipro). I had impending UTIs for about 8 months with another full blown one 7 months later. Antibiotics again. Mind you I am a health food nut and eat a perfect diet! No junk ever!

Anyway, after these three rounds my immune system was thoroughly damaged. I do not react well to antibiotics and was very healthy prior to the UTIs. (By the way the first UTI, e-coli UTI, was caused by contamination during a routine colonoscopy, so beware.)

After my immune system was weakened by the antibiotics, I contracted a virus, then subsequent bacterial pneumonia. I have not been the same since. This was three months ago. I was diagnosed with bacterial bronchial pneumonia, mycoplasmic pneumonia, put on another round of antibiotics (Zithromax). I felt better for a little while, but got symptoms back, now I am really a mess.

So I'm now left with a chronic type lung condition or chronic bronchitis, allergies, congestion, weakness, cough and generally just feeling the worst I have felt ever. I am sure I have a fungal infection now, and as with the antibiotics I also developed bacterial vaginitis. This has been bothering me for a year since the UTIs and all the antibiotics.

I have tried every remedy known for that, all natural and none worked. I even take tons of probiotics to no avail.

Finally after so many freaking drugs and doctors, I came upon oil of oregano. I started taking 450 mg. capsules twice a day and the liquid drops a few times a day. I also took OregaRESP capsules
and Chaga mushroom extract. I was trying to treat my respiratory condition primarily and low and behold it is working!

I am very excited to say that as a side effect my persistent bacterial vaginitis is gone! So I am a believer in oregano oil for sure. I use a wild oregano and I am told that is the one to use. I also use a super strength oregano oil formula called Oreganol Oil Super Strength P73.

My chest congestion is almost gone and I am not tired any more, sleeping half the day. This is a miracle. I will continue to take this for a few months just to be sure and then a maintenance dose of a few drops a day. The Chaga is great too and I will take that every day for immune protection.

Hope this helps somebody out there that is suffering.

Elise, your situation sounds very similar to where I am at with the UTI infection. I have been taking d-mannose, ACV, and cranberry water (unsweetened) to try and ward this thing off...and though my symptoms have subsided greatly (just slight pelvic/bladder 'pressure') I am afraid that it is not completely taken care of yet and that the bacteria is still residing.

My boyfriend wanted me to just "go to the Dr. and get some meds" but my history with antibiotics (childhood ear infections aka: horrible) I know that they are not always the best option. I've researched Oil of Oregano for 3 hours now and after seeing your experience, which I am so so sorry you had to go through, it has completely confirmed my feelings about taking antibiotics for this UTI and I am going to try the route of Oil of Oregano before anything else!

If all else fails, which I'm counting on not ;), I will go to the doctor...because I know UTI's can get out of control fast. But within reason I will try oregano oil first now because of what you just experienced! Don't be embarrassed, your testimony has now confirmed it for me and for many other UTI sufferers who want a better solution! Thanks again!

Keep it up folks - oil of oregano is amazing stuff. So sad for folks with an allergy to it, because it is a miracle worker. Glad to read success stories being posted and hope more readers join.
