Oil of Oregano is a very powerful anti-viral and antibiotic. The beauty of it is that you can buy it at your local health food store and bacteria do not become resistant to it. It works the same every time. We swear by it. As soon as you start to have symptoms just start taking the Oil of Oregano and usually by the next day or in 2 days its gone. If you have Lupus or are allergic to oregano or sage do not take it. Otherwise should be OK>
I have lupus and have never seen any warnings against oregano. I have increasingly read that it is helpful in auto-immune diseases.
