I started using oregano oil in place of toothpaste. It worked great! A lot
less plaque buildup and I do get a lot. Just one drop rubbed on the teeth
after I brushed a couple times a day and it was better than any toothpaste I
have ever used. My sister uses it for all sorts of things such as
anti-bruising and lots of other things that I can’t remember. I started
reacting to this oil even though it was mixed with grapeseed oil instead of
the regular olive oil it is often mixed with. (No one sells it pure). So I
did use it for about 2 months. As an herb I was instructed to ingest it for
antifungal properties but then switched to the herb thyme as it tends to be
a better antifungal. Barb Gardner

RE: sesame oil, I am using much less now. When I consume it, it makes my
skin dry and scaly. Tahini is really acid producing for me---love it, but
can't handle the acid. After all, the acid is what causes inflammation for
me. Can you post the sorghum muffin recipe?

I have taken olive leaf capsules for colds and flu and it does seem to get
rid of them fast. My stomach can't tolerate oil of oregano, but can tolerate
dried oregano. -Vicki

I just went to a professional medical seminar where many of these issues
were discussed. About two years ago, I discovered wild oregano oil and
started using it. It does seem to be very helpful for
viral, (and seems to work on fungal) infections. My whole family uses it
now. HH

Eliminating corn from your diet is likely to be the strongest reason for
your health improvement. Corn was one of the foods I had to eliminate when
my food allergies began to increase after going gluten-free. In that
process I discovered that a 40 year chronic throat irritation/clearing
condition I had since childhood was caused by corn sensitivity. On
elimination of all corn products and foods containing corn additives, my
throat clearing competely stopped. Ironically, cough drops I had been
taking to try to eliminate the throat irritation are made with corn syrup!

ABSTRACT
The anti-inflammatory properties of extracts of four sorghum bran varieties
were tested in a topical inflammatory animal model. Ear edema was induced
with an application of 2.0 µg/ear of tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)
dissolved in 20 µL acetone to the inner and outer surfaces of both ears of
male Swiss Webster mice. Acetone and ethanol groups were included as vehicle
controls. Extracts of black, sumac, mycogen or white sorghum bran varieties
or indomethacin (0.5 mg/ear) were topically applied 30 minutes following TPA
treatment. Total phenolic content and ferric reducing antioxidant power
(FRAP) values were obtained for extracts (1:4 wt/vol 50% ethanol) of each
sorghum bran variety. The application of extracts of black and sumac sorghum
bran varieties significantly decreased ear thickness and the weights of ear
punches 6 hrs after TPA treatment. No effect was observed with mycogen and
white sorghum bran varieties. The anti-inflammatory effects of sumac and
black sorghum bran varieties were statistically similar to that produced by
indomethacin. Anti-inflammatory activities of the sorghum bran extracts
correlated positively with total phenolic and FRAP values (sumac > black
>>>> mycogen > white). High anti-inflammatory activities provide further
rationale for use of selected sorghum brans in nutraceutical products.
