CTBarrister posted:I agree with the posts of Aaron. I remember a thread a few years ago about oregano oil. A poster came on and proudly declared he had discovered the cure for pouchitis and extolled the benefits of oregano oil. Then around 3 months later there was another post that was “oops, I am not cured after all, it stopped working and I am in really bad shape.” Seen a lot of posts like that over the years. Like Aaron said it’s a constant battle and sometimes treatments stop working. I would certainly not dismiss hydrogen peroxide as a possible treatment, but it needs to be discussed with a medical doctor especially in light of other medications and treatments the patient is taking as well as their overall health.
I thought oregano was working too, maybe it sort of was, until I became fatigued and it wouldn't go away. Also I finally realized the oregano oil was the cause for my concerning chest pains I had developed, which is a listed side effect of oregano, noe they are gone after stopping oregano. I'm fearful of antibiotics, I think they led to my knee tearing a little while doing squats a couple weeks after taking, but It's not like there are any other alternatives that actually work. Just have to stay healthy, maintain healthy weight and be mindful of ligament stressing actions...
