I take 800 mg of egcg green tea extract which was recommended by my doctor. I take it daily for the past year.
I have used charcoal tabs (no help) licorice extract (helped for awhile) marshmallow root and slippery elm ( no noticeable help) and acupuncture (lots of help).
This site has a couple of oregano oil threads here that might be helpful to research.

Hi Kate,

Are you still taking EGCg? Do you think it helps? 800 mg is 2x the amount they say to take on the bottle. What is your weight? I'm contemplating starting this regimen and I wonder if I would take the same amount as you? I weight about 110 lb. Also do you take the 800mg at once, or 400mg 2x/day?

Thanks!
