Re: warning about tea tree oil ....

[Guest guest]

HI,

I also have been using TT Oil with success for about 7 months

with my doctor's approval. In addition I accessed the research

facility in Australia where they are doing research on TTO. They

say it has been reportedly used by many people in Australia

with no adverse side affects. They also said they would like

to do some controlled studies on TTO used for this purpose

but do not have the funding.

I have been using TTO on my 6 year old for 2 years but she has never

nebulized it and I would not recommend ding that, although I know

some ppl do and havent had a problem with it. I have always put in a

potpourri pot or boiling water and just let her be near the vapors

and honestly that have worked wonders for her. I believe that it is

responsible for eradicating several " bugs " in her lungs. There was

nothing else that it could have been.

If you are considering trying it I would suggest trying trying to

inhale the vapors before nebulizing the oil.

Dear Chrissi and Lee,

I see no problems with using tea tree oil in the way

you have described, but think it may be potentially

harmful if inhaled via nebulizer, because this allows

the oil to be inhaled directly into the lungs. In

essence, this is my concern about lipoid pneumonia (s)

that are diffiulct to treat and perhaps not widely

known about in " all " medical cycles. A friend with

chronic lung disease told me about these pnuemonias.

She often read medical journals, and had been a nurse

before being forced to give up her work due to her

lung problems.

Inhaling the vapours through use of potpourri pot or

boiling water is safe (in my opinion). When I did

inhale tea tree oil in the way that is described

(boiling water) my bacteria did not change in that I

still have Pseudomonas and Staph a, however my Staph

was once resistant, MRSA. Do wonder if the MRSA did

convert to regular Staph (more easily treatable) with

the help of tea tree oil. Have not had MRSA since

August 2003. Interestingly, it was only ever cultured

from my lungs, and never found in skin or nasal

cultures. MY ID specialist felt that the staph in my

lungs had changed to MRSA due to frequent use of

antibiotics, but is a catch-22. Fail to treat the and

more damage develops, treat them and they may be more

at risk for resistant bacterias.

Lee, sorry for not replying sooner. Dad and I were

busy and my computer is slow these days, and sometimes

I try to get on, but its taking a long time.

I am waiting for a replacement that a friend is

putting together for me.

Thanks again:0)

Re putting TTO in the nebulizer, my doctor doesn't even want me to put salt

in my nebulizer. He said to put salt in boiling water and inhale it that

way. It has been working for me. I use distilled water and put a little

salt in the water and then boil it. It's true, isn't it? Everything we do

is trial and error. What works for some may not work for another. That's

why this site is so important. We can weigh the pros and cons and then make

our own decisions.

Dear ,

For several months, I have been using TTO via my nebulizer mixed with .09% saline and I really don't know if it helps, but I am having a well period for about 3 months. However, it did not prevent me from contracting Aspergillus so I am a bit discouraged, however perhaps I was not on it long enough. In any event, I feel comfortable taking it and will continue to do so as my plumonary specialist feels ok with it.I find that my nebulizer cup including the vibrating funnel becomes coated with the oil residue even though I consistantly clean it with vinegar and hot water soaks. It does eventually ruin these parts. Has anyone else expierenced this and if so do you have any suggestions on prevention of the build up?
