AND the risks of oregano oil and many other natural remedies are miniscule

compared to the synthetic stuff(not to mention the long term effects) It

amazes me that natural remedies get attacked so much- look at the statistics

and see the # of deaths due to synthetic meds(many) vs. natural stuff-

(barely a fraction of a percent!)

 

Heres a funny one by Jim Duke- kind of along these lines...
