Be honest: did you know that physican-strength oil of oregano has been used for more than a thousand years as pain killer, an antiparasitic, an antifungal agent? Did anyone every bother to let you know that oil of oregano is a naturally germicidal substance? That oil of oregano is a powerful antioxidant? Why SHOULD anyone tell you? There are no tens of billions in profits to be earned on something as inexpensive as oil of oregano. How can it be good if it's cheap, right? That is the sorry state of some of our thinking: because we do not know any better, we are unable to take the best and healthiest steps. One of many such steps that I recommend is the use of coral calcium. It promotes optimal tissue pH a bit faster than the majority of calcium supplements simply because it is already ionized, naturally. None of the world's hundreds of sources of coral calcium have proven to be as efficiently absorbed and used by the body as coral calcium found in and around the Japanese islands.
