There’s nothing like being on the road, and getting a bad case of the runs. It can happen in the most inconvenient places where there’s not a washroom in sight. Worse still it can completely bring your good times on holiday to a screeching halt. But I’ve found a cure that’s worked for me and my family, and it doesn’t involve taking drugs. Now I don’t worry about getting sick this way.

It’s not always been this way.  I have had countless cases of the runs in my travels in Asia, in the Caribbean and across Latin America. One particularly bad family experience, has engraved itself in my mind.  When my son Tonatiuh was one and a half years old, we traveled throughout Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, visiting my husband’s family in Mexico, and then going on to see the pyramids, and sacred sites of these countries.

While in Acapulco, my son was hit by Moctezuma’s revenge. We tried all kinds of natural remedies, and when these didn’t work, prescription drugs. These didn’t have the desired effect either, and it took three days in hospital getting intravenous, before he was on the road to recovery. You can imagine how stressed out and worried I was as a mother.

But since I’ve discovered this natural remedy, I’ve never worried again.  First of all, it doesn’t involve avoiding all street food, or ice or the local tap water although you may want to be careful about these. Personally I love sampling local fare, eating at markets, and at street stalls. I do use bottled water, or boil my water, in Mexico and other places where the tap water is not safe to drink. But that’s about all.

The remedy I’ve discovered is organic oreganol oil.  It has lots of other uses too, and can be used when you get a cold or flu, with varying success. But whenever any of our family members has a case of Moctezuma’s revenge, taking a drop under the tongue every hour until the symptoms disappear, seems to work marvelously.  Usually a  drop or two will be enough.

Occasionally if I am eating somewhere, where I am suspicious of the food, I will take a drop along with my meal, but mostly not.  It’s a very strong oil and it can also kill off stomach bacteria of the good kind, so don’t go overboard. More is not better in this case.

Good quality organic oreganol oil is not cheap, but well worth investing in, both in saved doctor’s and drug fees, and in ensuring that you are able to relax and have a wonderful holiday.

A few words of caution, if for any reason your symptoms don’t go away within a few hours, or get worse; visit and get the advise of a doctor, or health professional. I’ve not found any natural remedies that work all of the time, in all situations, and I’m certainly not going to risk my family’s health or mine, by being too doctrinaire about anything. Neither should you!

So get a small bottle of oreganol oil for your next trip. Hopefully you won’t need it. But if you do, you’ll be glad you discovered a remedy for Moctezuma’s revenge.

Dr. Alex Loyd just released his book “The Healing Code” today and its heading it’s way up to the top of the Amazon bestsellers list, with a well orchestrated promotion campaign. Let me add my two cents and I won’t go on an on as it’s late at night, and time for bed.

Simply said, go get this book. It can change your life. I know you’ve heard that a thousand times before. but believe me if you use his techniques, they work incredibly effectively. And they are easy to do.

Two months ago, I started using the Healing Codes, and immediately noticed how powerful they were. With just doing them for a little as 15 to 30 minutes a day, some days taking more time, and other days not doing them at all I’ve noticed a huge difference in my stress levels, my moods, and around physical issues like allergies.

I hardly sneeze anymore and I used to all the time, even without a cold. That’s huge for me. I still can’t quite believe it.

People have used this method used to heal all kinds of diseases, emotional and physical. I won’t go over the list.

I haven’t had a chance to read the  Healing Code book yet. But I put my order in today. Do yourself a favour too.

Get a copy. But more importantly try out his methods for a a month or so. I think you will notice big changes in your physical and emotional health.

Well I’m going to bed now. And one of the first things I will do tomorrow, along with the long walk I take in the morning with my dog Canela, is to

take 15 minutes doing the Healing Codes. I am hooked in an altogether positive way!
