Just glancing over this:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21205415/
and related articles. I have been taking Oregano oil (in capsule form) mostly for it's antibacterial and antiviral properties. My immune system seems to be very, very weak, despite good nutrition and exercise. I suffered a severe, 3 week stay in the hospital for pneumonia, a collapsed lung, and massive bacterial infection that infested every inch of my lungs. I have had repeated infections going back to when my psychiatric illness started.
Antibiotics seem to always make me feel better. Oregano kills all bacteria, so I supplement with a small dose of probiotic, now. I also use Olive oil to make me poop everyday. Olive oil is amazing for you.
Anyhow, the psychiatric properties of Oregano (I take a small, standardized dose) seem to, slowly and mildly, be kicking in. I reduced my Effexor dose, so we will see what happens. (Hoping for the morning wood :)
On another note, I discontinued my trial of Abilify, because of, yet again, major anger and agitation. I found info on Pubmed that apparently Abilify can increase Positive symptoms in Schizophrenia. No doubt, as my dysphoric mania almost hit psychosis. (Pre-Oregano.) :(
