I like the holistic approach to almost anything though haven't tried your little concotion yet it sounds interesting enough.
I have tried and found lavender oil useful for many things (for me). It has a really calming affect on me, I put it on my pillow to help me drift off to sleep. Ill put a drop on my wrist if I have a test coming up the smell calms my nerves. lavender is really soothing but so far it hasnt helped me when i'm sick, only anxious. I'm not quite sure how your recipe will help stave off this superbug, but i''ll look into it anyways, cause sometimes you just never know.

Sounds like a lot of money though, being that those are at least ten-fifteen dollars a piece just for a small amount of oil. but I suppose a life saved is priceless.

The Manuka Honey was shown in tests to kill these things also and is pretty low cost really. Also coloidal silver does work on many things very well and you can make it very cheaply.


Colloidal Silver The germicidal and antibacterial properties of colloidal silver were discovered almost a century ago. Numerous clinical cases and anecdotal evidence provides us with the knowledge of the power of colloidal silver to kill bacteria, fungal infections and viruses. Even though the FDA has tried to discredit the efficacy of this important healing substance, the effects of colloidal silver in the treatment of bacterial diseases such as MRSA, topical wounds, sores and infections speaks for itself.

Manuka Honey The most delicious and deadly agent that works to kill bacteria is Manuka honey, which comes from Australia and New Zealand. Researchers have discovered that Manuka honey applied topically can kill a wide range of pathogens, including MRSA and flesh-eating bacteria. Scientists were pleased by the fact that the treated bacteria didn't build up any resistance, rendering the honey ineffective. Learn more: www.naturalnews.com...

Now please, listen up, this isn’t just hippie, new-age, mumbo jumbo jargon. Essential oils are scientifically proven to be extremely powerful treatments for all kinds of illnesses and injuries.

Since you're using science.

Has anyone cited scientific-proof an essential oil is an extremely powerful treatment for this particular 'superbug'?

Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).

Honestly, thats the best kind of response i could have asked for.
i don't care if people don't immediately believe or understand everything i say...the best thing you can do is research it yourself!

As for hangovers...never tried oils for that myself...
but lavender could lessen any stress or tension and a drop of peppermint on your temples can take away a headache. My fiance swears by peppermint for her migraines!

Good luck!

I believe what you are saying, as there are so many natural remedies out there that are really safe and effective. I think the problem not being considered here, is the HOSPITAL factor - when a person is in critical condition and under the care of a physician and staff of nurses, it is much harder to find and attain these alternatives when that time comes. These are people who are already in the hospital when these infections arise.

I never can forget the story of a farmer from NZ who was able to get intravenous Vitamin C infusions which saved him from untreatable viral pneumonia following Swine Flu. They said he was a goner, in a coma, lungs full of fluid and all antibiotics were useless - but still, giving him the C fixed him right up.

I myself am allergic to a broad range of antibotics to start with, so I prefer colloidal silver, 10ppm, Ester C, etc. I have used the silver for sinus infection, strep throat, skin infection, and it is especially helpful if I get food poisoning, I just ingest a bit of it and it seems to wipe the offending bacteria in my gut out, fast - what a lifesaver!

Another thing I find really helpful for any type of infection in the mouth, or a developing sore throat, is to swish/gargle (and spit it out well!) a combination of one parts peroxide to about 5 parts water - fresh peroxide that has good fizz to it works best. It really seems to knock down the bacteria in mouth and throat quickly and efficently. Just never use it full strength, always dilute with water.

I recommend another favorite to friends when they are sick - in conjunction with good doses of Ester C, I have them drink a couple of cups of well-steeped, Echinacea Plus Tea by Traditional Medicinals. You brew it in a mug of really hot water, covered for 15 minutes to get it strong - boost the immune system quickly and makes you feel fabulous when you are sick. Just don't use it if you have an autoimmune disease.

The essential oils sound quite interesting, too. I have heard many people espouse the benefits of Oregano Oil, Hemp Oil, THC Oil, etc.

It's not that there are not options out there, it's just getting the knowledge and the use of them at that time that leaves people hanging.

Here's a link to that story about the C, if interested: www.laleva.org...

Excellent.
A proper study citing a specific oil's use against a specific 'bug'.

The kind of thing that eleven44 should have placed in his opening post.

----

Edit - now that I've had time to read the paper, the results dont actually favour the use of essential oils.

Tests were performed using three solutions...
1. carvacrol, a natural phenol found in some plant oils (including Oregano), but must be extracted and purified out of the oil.
2. thymol, a natural phenol found in some plant oils, but must be extracted and purified out of the oil.
3. oregano essential oil used as whole.

The results were in that order. The whole oregano essential oil performed the WORST, and the carvacrol performed the best.
The authors of the paper appear to think that its becaus there is so much other crap in the whole essential oil, that it is simply diluting whatever active ingredients are working in the first place. The best they can say about the whole essential oil is then couched in sentences that use "could", "can", and "potential".

And this has long been the way of REAL pharmaceutical research. You find some natives chewing on tree bark (or whatever) and rather that use the whole bark as "the cure" (as naturalists would wish to do) researchers find out the specific active ingredients that are actually doing the job.
Pharmaceutical companies might then set up a factory to produce that active ingredient at known concentrations.

The results of this study (alone) indicate the best cure would actually be with a carvacrol product (made by a company with an interest in getting dosages consistent, impurities low, and formulated for easy use.)
