The main objection I have to this book is the title. The book being called "The cure is in the cupboard - how to use oregano for better health", we are led to believe that the oregano to which he refers is what we have purchased at a local shop and therefor have in our kitchen cupboard.
However, Dr. Ingram makes a big deal about informing us that this is not the case, that only oil of oregano purchased from a specific American firm will do the trick. Now as it happens, I live in a country where the local authorities are irritatingly persistent and successful in their efforts to confiscate all heaslth products sent to anyone from the US, so we end up losing both the product and the money spent on trying to obtain it. Consequently, I can't order the oregano products Dr. Ingram insists are the only ones at all effective.
Anyway, the point is his book title is completely misleading. I am sure he has a point, and many oregano products out there are useless. But I'm also sure tht the firm he endorses is not the only one selling some good oregano products, and it would have been helpful if he could have found some other good brands of oregano oil he could recommend to us.
(I see Amazon in the UK has a limited assortment of oregano products, so I will try one or two of those.)
Back to the book. It's not one that is easy to read from cover to cover, though this is what I have done. But it would be valuable as a handbook to consult when having a health problem to be dealt with.
The book contains a long chapter listing all sorts of ailments which can effectively be treated by oil of oregano. With each complaint we are told whether to treat with drops under the tongue, local application, drops in water, or in other ways. In some cases supplementation with oregano capsules should also be made.
Oil of oregano does seem to be a cure-all product. Well, perhaps it can't cure everything but everything caused by microbes of some sort.
Despite my objections about the title, I would recommend this book, especially to Americans who can actually get hold of the products the author recommends, should they wish to do so. Though as I mentioned above, there must be other good products available.… (meer)
