You are all so cool!

[Guest guest]

You guys are all so cool to talk to! I have been reading the

archives and I am very interested in using oregano (from Butch, of

course)and getting some right away. Everyone is suffering from

sinus problems, colds, pneumonia, etc, and I have had it up to here

myself with this stupid bug I caught. I am going to war and with a

vengence! I am going to use Butch's oil and then I am going to

report the findings to the rest and see about getting everybodies

immune systems built back up. We have had a lot of pneumonia around

here lately..my sister was hit very suddenly and rushed to the

hospital with severe chest pains. At first thought, heart attack

was the thing she was checked out for..turned out to be pneumonia

and a very nasty bout, too. She was shocked at this; she hadn't had

any of the usual symptoms, just felt icky. But her lungs filled up

and all this went down fast. That was 2 months ago and she is still

having to use oxygen at night. My brother had a bad bout a couple

of weeks ago, and now my mom is down. It is this time of the year.

It has been too dry, or too wet, too cool, whatever. Everybody's

having problems. I am not going to take any more antibiotics and I

am not going to spend another $150 or so in office calls for the

same thing over and over. I am going to use the oregano oil and get

my body up to snuff and fight all this. This is one of the bad

things of living in a rural area; this time of the year, harvest is

finishing up and there is a lot of dust and stuff in the air. We

have grain trucks going past the house constantly. It is a fact of

life around here, and our old houses aren't as airtight as we would

like them to be. My grandmothers and those before them relied a lot

on herbal remedies and they lived to very ripe ages. I have been

using herbal remedies over the years, but hadn't known about the

results people are getting with oregano. I have really been getting

some good stuff from the archives and I have also checked other

lists and some of the ideas and recipes I had gotten I am

rethinking. I am not saying all are not so good...just that I am

learning more and more about herbal properties and how to use them

wisely and safely. I had thought I had a pretty well-rounded

education on herbs and their uses, but now I feel almost like a pre-

schooler and I had started this over 20 years ago! I had whipped up

things, but nothing like the things I am learning to make now. This

group and the things I am leaning is the best thing to ever happen

to me, educational-wise. It's like I have told my kids over and

over..you are never too old to learn and you find out something new

every day. Now my hubby is starting to get jealous of my computer.

Says I am spending way too much time here...actually, I think he is

hungry and this is a subtle hint to feed him. I don't know what he

would do without me..(actually, he can't say anything to me about

spending time on the computer--I hear the ball game on in the other

room and seems to me that somebody is spending way too much time in

front of the boob-tube!)

Talk to you later...
