Hi there

Could anyone tell me where I could purchase this in Ontario??? I have been to all the health food stores in my area and no one has the oregano/flaxseed combo.

Any suggestions????

superfly-- but if we've been low-carbing for a while, shouldn't we not have that much yeast in our bodies? What are some of the foods with yeast in them?

Also, since you've had positive result, what dosage of oregano oil are you taking?

~you can purchase it on-line, there's a link earlier in the thread

It doesn't seem like the 2 drops of oil I'm taking could make a difference in my fat count

Liz09,

I found these on the web for Ontario orders:

http://www.woodlandnaturalremedies....te/oregano.html $18 canadian + $7.50 shipping

iherb.com has many different pills/oils, but it's $20 shipping to canada

i haven't been out to look yet, but I'm going to try at Bulk Barn & Shoppers Drug Mart as well as the health food store near my house.

Where in Ontario are you?

Hope this helps!

...Kath

okay here is a weird one, this has really just hit me, i work out almost every night, and you know when you workout you sweat and stink, since taking this oregano i dont have a body odor. is that weird or what. i think if you cant find the gel caps the powder oregano wild oil would be fine you probably need the 150 mg instead of just 50

I have only been taking one. I was concerned because in the earlier post, others are taking 50 grams. So, I thought because I am taking 150 it might be too strong and is causing me to be hungry. I don't know. I am just guessing. Thanks though.

Ok, I'm convinced. I'm heading to GNC tonight to pick this stuff up. Worse case maybe it can help me with the "adult acne" I've developed since starting lc. I'm not gonna take it til the weekend, just in case I have any side effects

hi all! i have been following what 2Brickie is doing. here is a link to buy it cheap online: they also have a pic of what it looks like.

http://www.vitacost.com/store/produ...rchText=oregano

also, if you go to naturesway.com and click on SHOP you can find a store locater on that page. that is how i found out which health store has it by my house.

this is the brand that 2Brickie recommended: nature's way OREGANO OIL. it has 50mg of oregano oil and 25 mg of flaxseed oil. you have to check the back to see if it has that. it doesn't say anything but oregano oil on the front. for me, it was in a different section than the rest of the nature's way stuff. it was in herbal remedies at my local store.

i feel great today! no gas, no headaches. i just feel good and i lost 1 pound!

I am taking one 50 mg tablet in the morning. I started yesterday. Bad gas all day. Today, a few burps in the morning and that was it! I gained a lb from yesterday, but that was likely because I felt obligated to celebrate Mardi Gras with too many LC bars.

Today, I feel almost no hunger at all (very strange for me). Since I'm Catholic, I "fasted" for Ash Wednesday (2 small meals, one large, no snacks), and did it with no hunger pangs at all. I don't even feel the urge to eat any LC bars (thank God since I gave up sugar alcohols for Lent). This is a huge breakthrough for me and I wouldn't be surprised if I see the scale move in the right direction soon.

I'm taking (2) 150 mg capsules each morning. I haven't had any bad side effects....no gas or burping. My appetite seems to have diminished slightly and my energy level is up. Down 2 pounds since Saturday morning. I do seem to have a very low-grade headache, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the oregano. Might just be stress.
