Just wondering. The owner of the health food store in my area said an author of a book is claiming benefits for Lymes patients.

It is usually used as an anti-fungal. I think you mean Oregano Oil..not plain oregano spice.
* Anti Viral: It gives protection against viral infections. This means you become immune against cold, mumps, measles, pox and other problems created by virus.
* Anti Bacterial: Just as it protects you against viral infections, it protects you against bacterial infections too. This gives you protections against most of the diseases caused by bacteria, such as infections in colon, urinary tract etc., typhoid, cholera, sores, skin infections and temporary problems such as food poisoning.
* Anti Fungal: Virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa are the four agents which are responsible for all types of communicable and infectious diseases. Out of these, fungi are responsible for some of the dreaded and fatal infections, internal and external. They cause some ugly infections of ear, nose and throat, which if not treated early, may reach the brain and prove fatal. Many skin infections are also caused by these fungi. Oregano Oil, if used regularly, internally or externally, can protect us effectively against these fungal infections.
* Anti Oxidant: This property turns out to be very beneficial in the long run. This protects you from the damages done to the body by the free radicals or oxidants, neutralizes the free radicals and repairs the damages already done. This slows down aging and protects from certain cancers, macular degeneration, degeneration of muscle due to aging, wrinkles, loss of vision and hearing, nervous disorders and many such ailments related to aging and effects of free radicals.
* Anti Inflammatory: This oil is good on sedating any type of inflammation, internal or external, caused due to any reason.
* Anti Parasitic: Many types of parasites, such as round worms, tape worms, lice, bed bugs, mosquitoes, fleas etc., some living inside human body and some outside, use human body as a source of food as well as act as carriers of communicable diseases. Oregano Essential Oil, when ingested, gets you rid of intestinal worms. Applied externally, it keeps away lice, bed bugs, mosquitoes, fleas etc.
* Anti Allergenic: This is another aspect of sedating property of Oregano Essential Oil. Allergy is hyper-reaction of body towards external stimuli. Oregano Oil, being sedative in nature, calms down this hyper-sensitivity and hence gives relief from allergy.
* Digestive: Oregano Oil promotes digestion by increasing secretion of digestive juices.
* Emenagogue: This oil is also beneficial for regularizing menstruations and pushing away menopause. Those who are suffering from obstructed menses may get a relief from this.
* Other Benefits: Helps heal Psoriasis, Eczema, Athlete's foot, flu and other infectious ailments. Further, it can be used to treat bacterial infections like E Coli, Giardiasis and food poisoning. It relieves congestion. Certain studies reveal that it is as powerful a painkiller as the best ones in the market, with the added benefit that it is without the side effects.

I took it three times a day and experienced severe herxing when I first started it, then it settled off, and I've only had mild improvement. Nothing like when i was on antibiotics, which did help me more as far as infections go.
I'd go with olive leaf extract before oregano oil, though a lot of people take them together... I'd be careful though, they're so strong, this isn't for the faint of heart!
Olive leaf extract also completes antibiotics very well, I experienced way more improvement when I took them together (maybe because it was helping to cleanse out the toxins).
But anyway, this post is about oregano oil, lol
