It’s unbelievable how they lie about things!

I havent had a cold in 17 years since i found oregano oil

[jewelsb]

I immediately stopped watching when he said it doesn't heal viruses. anyone watching knows it does and now this show is a BUST for me. They need to do research

[Thatsnewsgirl]

Anyone reading this just know Oregano Oil is great. I wish I would of known about it when I was younger.

[beautifulmess]

i use it for shingles-gone in record speeds 4 days!
I use it for viruses and i’m back at work in 48 hrs!
kidney infection-rash
it’s freaking amazing
i don’t care what anyone says

I noticed more thumbs down than up on this video. That’s probably because oregano oil does have antiviral properties. These docs are disappointing to say the least. They’ve lost credibility with me and apparently with others.

It helped me get through bronchitis in a few days. Instead of the usual many weeks.
It’s awesome stuff!!!

[blah]

It helps...tremendously...a ton of medicinal properties.

[truthseekerForever]

It's not a bust! It works for viruses!

I used to get cold sores every month. Oregano essential oil has helped me with keeping these frequent cold sores away. I have been using one drop of it in my tea twice a day I haven't gotten a cold sore since. It's been 4 months now! Can't recommend it enough!

WRONG!!! Oregano oil has tremendous benefits!!
Did this guy get his degree 6 decades ago and never challenged himself to think outside the box or learn anything new since then?
Makes the entire show look like a joke.

Google they have done some studies, it is touted as good antibiotics. Etc.

[josephineraymond]

I have been sneezing all day cant even wash my dishes i took 1 drop in some water i swear and immediately

[francis_n]

TV shows like this are made for entertainment and sensation. Do proper research instead

[BadBoyBreeze]

You’re not supposed to mix it with water you’re supposed to mix it with other oil

[josiew.]

it actually helped my surgery incision on my left calf to heal

[josephineraymond]

Immediately I was able to wash my dishes I swear this is truth

[HighPriestessAngelique]

Emily that is not true, do more research honey.
