Which Oregano?

[Guest guest]

Howdy Pam,

Origanum compactum

Look at the other Origanums .. http://www.pfaf.org/database/latin.php?LAT=O

 

The chemo-type of Young Living's Oregano is Carvacrol.

They speak with forked tongue .. or great ignorance. Origanums have no

Chemotypes .. they have Varieties .. and Carvacrol is simply a chemical

common to all Origanums except the Linalool Variety .. and it too

has Carvacrol but in a lesser percentage than the Linalool. Carvacrol is

a Big Bad Butt Kicker.

 

I know that you know that there is nothing special about anything YL sells

... except the exorbitant prices and the marketing hype that attempts to

justify those prices.

 

Oregano has an approximate ORAC of 153,007 (TE/L). TE/L is

More Young Living Bovine Excrement. ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorbency

Capacity .. its a value scale they use for various foods and supplements

to classify antioxidant content or capability .. but its normally expressed

in a Per Serving fashion .. not in a total capacity of one liter or one

pound or whatever. A rating of 153,007 for a liter is just fancy

marketing.

 

If you eat 1/2 cup of (cooked) Dried Red Beans the ORAC (antioxidant

capacity) is 13,727. A cup of Blueberries its 9,019. A 1/2 cup of Prunes

is 7,291. One ounce of Pecans is 5.095. One Each Plum is 5,844.

 

In this particular case ORAC is being used by Young Living as marketing hype

... Carvacrol is Carvacrol is Carvacrol .. if I assign a fancy number to an

Essential Oil it becomes no more or less effective .. or valuable .. and

lack of Bang for the Buck is what one gets with Young Living and all other

MLM companies. We already know that ALL Carvacrol rich Origanums are

powerful medicine .. folks have known this for thousands of years .. its not

something MR. Gary Young picked up from some fictitious Indian Chief. ;-)
