The current medical treatment for perianal abscess (which often results in a fistula) involves oral drug antibiotics and manual drainage of infection from the abscess. However, many doctors wish there was an alternative treatment, since it is so hard to get antibiotics to the actual infection site. Oral antibiotics are processed via the GI system, so very dilute amounts end up reaching the rectal area. The good news is: We DO have an alternative treatment that delivers a very powerful natural antibiotic directly to the abscess site.
Anorectal Abscess
As to how effective it is, we can’t say anything definitive until a large number of sufferers have tested this protocol and then reported their results. A number of my consultation clients have been trying out this new protocol for me and most have had good results so far. So I wanted to post the protocol here and if you try it, please post your comments to let us know how it worked, whether you changed or adapted it, etc.
UPDATE: One of my readers has improved upon this protocol by using an infrared laser to cause the wild oregano to penetrate more deeply and also to speed healing. So be sure and read this article as well before beginning treatment.
Perianal Abscess / Fistula Treatment Protocol
If you have a perianal abscess that is still enclosed, or walled-off, then the first step is to try applying wild oregano oil topically to the infected area. Start at a 7:1 dilution with olive oil (7 drops organic olive oil : 1 drop wild oregano oil), and then increase strength to get it as close to full strength as you can tolerate – only use the brands I recommend, to ensure potency.
Apply topically five times per day and also begin Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol (on page 152 of Listen To Your Gut) orally.
If this doesn’t work sufficiently to reduce infection after two weeks, then you may want to have your gastroenterologist drain the abscess. If he/she performs this procedure, your GI will want to follow it with oral drug antibiotics.
However, you do have the option of having the abscess drained and then NOT following it with antibiotics. You don’t even need to tell your GI this – just take the prescription and don’t fill it.
If you decide to have it drained, then (if possible) during the procedure, have the GI syringe it with full strength wild oregano (as much as will go in) after drainage.
Then, (regardless of whether he’ll do that, or not) try to get him to leave a drainage tube in place. This will make it very easy for you to syringe it yourself with wild oregano and thereby avoid having to take any prescription antibiotics.
Even if he won’t leave a drainage tube in place, you can still syringe it (syringes available at local pharmacy) through the hole – it’s just more difficult and uncomfortable.
Wild Oregano Syringing Protocol:
• Syringe wild oregano oil into your fistula hole or drainage tube with as close to full strength wild oregano oil as you can tolerate. Start at a 7:1 dilution with olive oil (7 drops organic olive oil : 1 drop wild oregano oil), and then increase in strength to get it as close to full strength wild oregano as you can tolerate. Try to elevate your fistula opening so that the oregano oil stays in the abscess cavity and doesn’t drain back out immediately. Try plugging the drainage hole with an earplug, or something, to block it closed for 20 minutes after syringing, then remove and let it drain. Most people have been using a 10 ml syringe, but even 5 ml (depending on how much you can get in there) is likely sufficient.
• Syringe every 2 hours for the first 24 hours (when you’re asleep at night, let it go 4 hours).
• Then every 4 hours for the next 24 hours.
• Then 4 times per day thereafter until infection is completely resolved / gone.
• Then 2 times per day for 10 days (yes, this is AFTER there is no infection left).
• Then allow the hole to close (if it hasn’t already) by removing the drainage tube and continue applying topically for a month, 3x/day.
Throughout this whole regimen, continue with the oral wild oregano and probiotics, as per Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol
* A big thank-you to my brother, Millan Patel MD, MSc, who helped me develop the syringing part of this protocol.
If anyone has tried this treatment, or has had any success healing fistulas or abscesses using this or any other treatments (natural, surgery, or combination), please let us know how and leave your story/comments below. The more we can pool our knowledge, the closer we can come to a reliable protocol that works for most people. – Thanks!

You’ll see from the Comments Section below (please read thoroughly before submitting a question) that if people cannot syringe directly into their drainage hole, they are syringing to wherever they can reach. If their fistula drains into their rectum, then they are syringing up their rectum instead.
