Thyme is passing...

[Guest guest]

First is a list of all the ideas that have come in about dealing with

my reaction to thyme oil. Second is my trip to the doctor and my

thoughts.

Has anyone out there has success treating canker/cold sores?

Has anyone tried cayenne? Collodial silver?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Suggestions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Get some WHITE OAK BARK/Golden Seal (both if you have it, but the first

is most important) and tuck it into the infected area like chewing tobacco...

that will shrink the swelling.

The easiest way to deal with this, is to swish with some olive oil, and

dilute it.

Get some Apis homeopathy and use that if you have it... or BELLADONNA.

Find out if it is Staph infection as the oils one can use for that are

Thyme, Oregano, Hyssop, lavender, Purification and Helichrysum. I would

use Helichrysum period and be safe as if staph Oil of Pepper or

Peppermint will make more painful.....and Oil of Pepper is in Relieve It.

The first thing I would have done is use Thieves as puller with PanAway

and Relieve It...and probably Melrose.

Figs as a fruit are one of the most alkaline of all foods and have a

powerful anti-acid effect. Therefore, they have historically been used

for ulcers (of both the mouth and the stomach)...

A dentist once had my husband who had a tooth abcess take a Q-tip and

dip in hydrogen peroxide and lay there for 10 minutes every hour......my

husband didn't think it would work but it really did.

I have had a similar problem ... I tried Dentarome and am still using

that. Clove oil in my mouth caused me to have nose bleeds. other oils

directly on my gum area didn't help. I use Helichrysum around my eyes,

jaw and towards my ear... I get pain in the ear and all along that nerve

from the tooth to the ear. I take Advil. After 3 months there are two

or three days when I take no pain pills and other days when I will take

two. Slowly improving. I have ordered the neuro-gen for nerve

regeneration...

Anbesol...

I had a cold sore on the tip of my tongue applied YL Thieves neat and wow

did it ever hurt. The pain gradually decreased I went back to using

lavender without problems. The cold sore took days to heal but is all

gone now. The last few cold sores I've had seem to radiate pain through

all of my teeth I'm assuming its the nerves. This does drive a person

crazy. I think some oils can create problems if applied neat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~From me~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Went to the MD today about my mouth, since it did not seem to be

healing and has been a week since I last used the thyme oil. MD

is not my usual route but really wanted an opinion (and some pain

meds.)

Here's what I was told. I have a chemical burn, and on top of that

have developed aphthous ulcers...or in ordinary language...canker

sores. Cold sores. Now, people sometimes get one or two " cold sores "

....I'd say I have at least ten.

He said that when there is an abrasion in the mouth...(as in my case

caused by the thyme oil)...these sores arise. They are not bacterial

or viral...they are simply dead tissue...in a sense they are holes

in the skin.

They usually clear up in about a week by themselves. There is no

treatment. Mine have not cleared up in a week. He told me to

return if they are still there in a week.

In addition I am feeling " punky " and my throat is getting sore.

He said my lymph glads are swollen because my whole system is

reacting to the problem.

What bothers me absolutely the most about this is the attitude

of the person who tested me and gave me the oil and the advice.

If she said, " Okay...I didn't know this could happen...I am

sorry...I am VERY sorry...let me research this...find what to

do next...I am glad I learned this... " I would feel so much

better.

But what I am getting seems to be " party line. " " These

oils can't harm anyone. " " You could use them on a baby. " " It

was your choice to use the oil. " " It's just drawing out the

chemicals that were already in your mouth. " " I'm not

responsible. " No compassion, just disassociation.

I have no respect for healers on any level, medical doctors,

folk healers, whatever...who don't stop and take stock when

a problem arises, but instead try to make it the fault of

the person who is having the problem, or rationalize the

problem away. THAT bothers me more than anything else in

this situation.

No one wants to have a problem, not the client/patient

and not the practitioner/healer. But when it arises...

FACE IT. And go from there.

EVERYTHING THAT COMES UP IS NOT DETOX!

YES, OILS, EVEN THE BEST OILS, ARE POTENT AND CAN BURN!

ANYONE who deals with another person's health should understand

this. Too many people don't.

I was glad for the person who wrote that the pain from the

cold sore radiated into the teeth, because my teeth have

been hurting like h--- and I am hoping very much it is

just referred pain.

Love,
