Wilma asks:  can anyone tell me what to do
about 'epstein barr', i know it goes hand in hand with chronic fatigue
and fybromyalgia...or is there any cure? natural healing that would
help???? i've also had diahreah for 3 weeks..

I can sympathize with the aggravation of having diarrhea for 3 weeks, as I did also, starting on Christmas night.  Over the counter remedies stopped it each day temporarily, then severe diarrhea kept recurring.  After 2 weeks and reading up all the possible causes on the Internet (shudder), I went to the allopathic doc who did all the relevant lab tests for e.coli, parasites, etc.  I was weak as a cat and ready for real relief.  After another 6 days, I got all the results back.  Good news.  Nothing there. 

But the problem went on, as viruses and other wee critters cannot read lab reports.  She suggested I make an appointment with a GI doc.  Okay.  First appointment available was a month (later changed to 6 weeks!).  Time to take matters into my own hands.  I got out my book, The Cure is in the Cupboard:  How to Use Oregano for Better Health, by Dr. Cass Ingram.  Aha!  Oil of oregano is good for diarrhea, among many other things, saith the book.

Had been taking CS religiously, now I added to it a huge dose of oil of oregano.  Fasting, I took CS and a gelcap containing about 6 drops of O of O every 3 to 4 hours.  By late evening, I had had only one more episode.  Then nothing.  I ate lightly that night, then went back to life as usual.  The diarrhea stopped cold.

I don't know what caused it, and I can't say for certain that it was the O of O and CS combination that stopped it.  But there was a definite correlation, and after three weeks of unremitting discomfort, aggravation, and worry, I considered that in this case at least, correlation just might imply causation!!   Oh, yes.  I will be keeping my appointment with the GI doc.  It's probably time for that middle age encounter with the GI doc's interesting array of diagnostic tools, anyway, if you know what I mean.
