		<description>CARU - I believe she used the laser pen directly on the entry/exit wound and then when she got the laser pad, it covered a larger area. See this blog post for more info on how exactly to use the lasers:

http://www.listen2yourgut.com/blog/how-does-infrared-light-therapy-work/

PK - you should also see the post above for further instructions.

SKIP - you may want to also book with Dr. Najt to answer your questions:

		<description>Hi Jini, 
I am extremely hopeful after reading this. I am having similar problem. I am having anal fistula and abscess due to which I had to be operated couple of times for draining the abscess. I am 5 mths pregnant, and have developed another abscess. Due to my pregnancy, I am unable to take any pain killers or antibiotics and the doctor is suggesting surgery which I do not want to undergo because of my pregnancy. We live in San Jose, CA. Is there anyone here we can consult for this theraphy - laser/oregono treatment? Can we have your phone number to talk? </description>

		<description>Have been dealing with peri-anal abscesses for months now.  One was drained in O-R and the other in surgeon&#039;s office.  I have no pain, and it is the 2nd abscess that continues to drain.  Surgeon advised surgery as suspects a fistula - I have Prostate CA and reluctant to undergo surgery that seems will cause me more discomfort and a lengthy healing process. I am seeing another dr. for a 2nd opinion and hoping surgery is not my only option.  It seems I would be worse off after a fistulotomy or fistulectomy than I am now.  Am concerned about infection after surgery and taking antibiotics.  If surgery is absolutely necessary, which procedure (fistulotomy or fistulectomy) would offer best result?</description>

		<description>I had a question about the laser treatment.  Do you know how she used it for 2 minutes a night?  Did she just use it in one spot or did she follow the tract up to the rectum area, or just the incision and bulging inflamed area?  If she did use it in multiple spots was it 2 minutes for each or altogether?  My son had surgery two weeks ago to drain his and now we are in the process of trying to figure out how to heal it properly.

Thanks for your help.

		<description>Thank you Jini. Do you have a suggestion as to where one could find the oregano oil locally as opposed to online?
 I am currently on flagyl and Remicade facing the possibility of a colostomy. To naysayers: I will continue with my meds but what can trying this hurt at this point?</description>

		<description>Brandi - if you&#039;re facing colostomy I really recommend you get my LISTEN TO YOUR GUT book. However, you can also just get the wild oregano oil and probiotics protocols here:

http://www.listen2yourgut.com/blog/wild-oregano-oil-protocol-and-probiotic-enema/

And I&#039;m assuming you&#039;ve already read the wild oregano syringing instructions here?:

		<description>Hi Jini - 

I&#039;m very excited to have come across this page and definitely want to try the wild oregano oil. I had Crohn&#039;s in remission until last year when I had my first colonoscopy in over two decades and literally days later was met with an abscess. Now a year later, I have 3 setons in and two mushroom drains for the abscesses. They have been drained again and again and after a recent visit, my surgeon says if it is not under control he recommends doing a temporary colostomy which I am vehemently opposed to.  Do I need to take probiotics in tandem with the wild oregano oil treatment or has anyone found it to be successful (oregano) on it&#039;s own?  I would like to fight this with everything I can and will listen to anyone&#039;s suggestions.  Is there a link that specifies when and how to take the oregano oil and probiotics? Could I take the oregano oil orally and topically (syringing it in the drains as well?)  Any advice is appreciated and thank you!</description>

		<description>BONNIE - Obviously I cannot give you personal health advice. But I can tell you my own experience: All literature says to avoid oral wild oregano usage whilst pregnant. However, you can use intravenous hydrogen peroxide whilst pregnant for infection and your naturopathic doctor or integrative physician can administer this. I personally, have used topical wild oregano whilst pregnant (I have 3 kids) and I have used oral wild oregano whilst breastfeeding. I also gave a massive oral dose to my cat who was breastfeeding her kittens (she was dying from eating an infected bird) - the dosage equivalent would be of a human drinking an entire 1 oz bottle in one go. There were no ill effects on the cat or the kittens. In fact, the vet said this was the first time in his entire career he had seen an entire litter of kitten with no ear or mouth infections!

Personally, if had an abscess whilst pregnant, I would do the topical wild oregano as outlined above and consult with my naturopath for safe oral anti-pathogen protocols. You, of course, must do your own research and follow your own gut for what you feel is safe for your body. And congratulations!</description>

		<description>Hi,

 I have had a perianal abscess that was misdiganosed as a Bartholin abscess since June 2011. I finally was able to see a GI doctor who dignosed it correctly. I had a colonscopy to check on my Crohn&#039;s (I have been in remission for 15 years after a bowel resection, so no flare-ups since then thank God!) to see if I was having another flare up. The GI doc thought also that he might see evidence of a flare up OR a fistula. He said that he has seen no evidence of either. I was going to have a CAT scan, but as it turned out I found out I was pregnant (6 weeks). I&#039;ve been taken off all anitbiotics, and now have to wait until I give birth. The abscess is now small because my body created two small holes where it drains a little every morning in the bath. Thankfully it is only slightly painful, but plenty annoying.

 I am wondering two things... one being pregnant can I use the natural remedy? Or should I wait? Also, will this continued abscess hurt the baby in any way?

 Thanks!</description>

		<description>Any of the brands of wild oregano I recommend (see my www.HolisticHealthShoppe.com ) are already diluted 3:1 so will not burn skin (as ESSENTIAL oil of oregano can do). But, you will likely get a burning FEELING - that lasts about 2.5 minutes. But it is not damaging. DMSO is still an experimental substance, so you would need to do your own research on it. I can&#039;t see of any way the wild oregano would be harmful... but as always, it&#039;s your body, so you need to follow your own gut!</description>

		<description>Jini, 

Thank you for all of this information.  The first step before starting any of this is to find out what exactly is going on.  Unfortunately, the doctors in my area don&#039;t seem to be &#039;up to speed&#039; on how to scan for a possible fistula using any type of non-invasive imaging method, i.e.  MRI or Ultrasound.  They want to CUT IT OPEN to see if there is a problem, which is ridiculous.  But I HAVE read articles on this, and I&#039;ve found that BOTH MRI and Ultrasound can tell the story as to what is going on.  I am VERY hesitant to apply anything topically until I find out what is happening (I MAY be just fine, but until I find out what that bump is, I really don&#039;t want to mess with it in any way).  Can wild oregano oil and/or DMSO be harmful to normal healing in any way?  And you mention &#039;don&#039;t dilute it (oregano oil) if you can tolerate it.&#039;  What do you mean by &#039;tolerate it&#039;?  Will it burn my skin or cause discomfort in any way?</description>

		<description>Hi Billy, I would just start right away with wild oregano (use one of the brands I recommend and do not dilute further if you can tolerate it) applied topically to the area that gets tender. Or, if you need to, dilute as directed here:

http://www.listen2yourgut.com/blog/perianal-abscess-natural-treatment/

You could also add some DMSO (about 10-20%) to the wild oregano to help it be transported deeper into the tissues - do a keyword search on my blog here for my posts on DMSO usage.

That alone may take care of things. The other thing you could do is begin oral wild oregano at the first feeling of tenderness at the same time as topical.</description>

<p>You could also add some DMSO (about 10-20%) to the wild oregano to help it be transported deeper into the tissues &#8211; do a keyword search on my blog here for my posts on DMSO usage.</p>
<p>That alone may take care of things. The other thing you could do is begin oral wild oregano at the first feeling of tenderness at the same time as topical.</p>

		<description>Jini, 

After much searching, I have at last found a place where I may be able to finds answers to my questions.  9 months ago, I developed a rectal abscess which was lanced and drained in the ER.  The area seems to be healing up just fine, but there is a question as to whether or not I may have a small fistula.  Nothing has drained from the area after all this time, but there is a very small bump (very slightly tender) just under the skin that keeps rising to the surface every 2 weeks or so and then goes back down after a few days; again, without drainage.  The wound seems to be filling itself in, and this MAY be a normal part of the healing process, but the colorectal surgeon is suggesting invasive methods to try and find out what might be happening.  If it IS a fistula, I consider mainstream methods of treatment to be a NIGHTMARE; cutting and slicing open sphincter muscles will forever change my life, and I want to avoid this AT ALL COSTS.  The laser light treatment sounds very intriguing, but of course I do not know yet if I have a fistula.  I would like to get the opinion of a naturopath or acupuncturist in my area who has experience with this particular issue.  I live in the Los Angeles area.  Any recommendations for folks in my area whom I can visit to seek out help?</description>

		<description>Sonya - did you read the other blog post on using wild oregano oil for abscesses?

http://www.listen2yourgut.com/blog/perianal-abscess-natural-treatment/

You can dilute the wild oregano 5:1 for breast tissue, or try full-strength (commercial preparation - use one of the brands recommended). Then you could use the infrared lamp for 10 minutes (on bare breast).

I would also go see a REALLY good integrative physician to see what lifestyle, dietary, emotional contributors are going on in your life. I sense there is also something you are doing in your daily life (or exposed to) that is contributing to this problem.

And going braless is a good thing, see why:

		<description>i have had a abccesed breast going on three years now, have already had it biopsied Thank GOD ! it came back negative. but the same happens as your sons did, It would fill up about every 2 weeks and drain again and then close up and fill back up. I quit wearing a bra during the winter because i could wear a big coat to hide it and it has not formed since December and now here it is March almost. But now it is starting to get warm i can feel little pins of pain like i am aggrevating it again. My real question is I own a tanning salon and recently decided to have the red lamp therapy in our salon. do you think that that kind of therapy will help me at all. I am so tired of this I put on 35 pounds not being able to exercise because the rubbing seems to inflame it and start all over. HELP!!</description>

		<description>After 15 years suffering from Ulcerative Colitis I have had a total colectomy which has left me with a pouch of the small intestine and an anus. A few years back I got a perianal abscess which was drained and a seton stitch inserted. I no longer have a seton but I do now have a fistula that will not heal.
I&#039;ve had numerous EUA&#039;s (Examination Under Anesthetic) as a day patient and sent home with a script of Cipro. 
I don&#039;t believe the Cipro helps and I hate taking drugs.
I&#039;m extremely interested in learning more about the laser treatment and the oil of oregano. 
I&#039;m feeling rather desperate now as I&#039;ve tried so many remedies and nothing works. My diet has changed significantly and has helped with my UC but the fistula is still there. 
Can you please recommend a naturalist or anyone who can help me in Melbourne Australia.</description>

		<description>Dr. Silvio Najt MD is an accomplished physician who uses my protocols and does private consults:

http://www.holistichealthshoppe.com/index.php#48

Also, David Holland MD is another physician (in Texas - not sure where exactly) who also recommends my books/protocols.

As does Dr. Carolyn Dean MD ND:

http://drcarolyndean.com/

and she also does phone consults.

So, if interested, he could consult with any of those.

best,
Jini</description>

		<description>My husband has had 3 fistulotomys in the past 2 years being he is a registered nurse he refuses to try anything natural unless it is recommended by a doctor. We flew to san antonio from el paso tx for the last one and 6 days after the surgery it filled up again. We are financially broke and emotionally broken. Is there a doctor or naturalist in el paso who could talk to him and recommend the laser treatment. I&#039;m tired of seeing him in pain and wish it would heal already. please help!</description>

		<description>I have a anal abscess that started internally and moved it way to the surface, was lanced, and now have a seton.  I may be getting another abscess on the other side because I feel pain inside.  My question is that for someone who has a seton inside the rectum through a hole and back out would it be safe to put some oil of oregano in my rectum for help heal the hole that leads to the fistula?  Or should I do some probiotic enema?  Not sure at this point.  My doctor wants me to take some anibiotics but I really don&#039;t want to.  If I am getting another infection I need to deal with it.  I was diagnosed with Crohn&#039;s in my rectum about a year ago and have been on the SCD which has kept diarrhea away, but not healing the fistula too well.</description>
