When you neb the oregano oil, how much water do you add to it? I use BroncoSaline (2 squirts) with another med. Should I use a couple of squirts with the OO too? Haven't tried it yet, but curious.

Well the most fluid I take is 5 cc's for my collistin + sterile water. The other amounts of fluid I neb are is just an ampule of albuterol and an ampule of pulmozyme, which isn't too much but they last like 20 or so mins. So whatever you are comfortable with time wise. You will want to have enough fluid with it so it's not too irritative.

You can neb it with clean water (sterile, saline, hypertonic, boiled distilled, etc), take it in capsule form, and/or put drops under the tongue. You could also apply it topically, but I don't think that would have much benefit for us.

I am a 27 yr. old female taking nebbed and oral OO. Here's my OO regimin.
AM:
I take 3-4 drops of mycelized (water soluable) OO in Pari LC Plus neb. with Duoneb brand Albuterol.
I also take 1 3x strength OO capsule
After one month: I am not producing mucus or coughing regularly anymore. I used to cough say 3-4 times an hour and be able to cough stuff up if I wanted to. In the morning, when I do my vest and acapella I would get 3-4 TBSP. of mucus out. This was my norm - not sick state. Now I barely cough anything into my dixie cup anymore and don't cough during the day except a few dry hacks a few times a day. It's actually quite bizarre - very different considering I've had the same persistant cough since age ~18. I feel the true test will be sputum culture and pft results which I will find out in April. My aerobics class has been easier for me as well. As Sean has mentioned, those that didn't do good clearance will notice a bigger change. I have regularly done 2-4 clearances a day so my OO results were more gradual but still pronounced.
