In a recent article from the London Times it was stated, “ever since penicillin was
discovered, medical science has been involved in a race against constantly mutating bacteria. Inevitably, the quest for ever-stronger drugs to fight infection is one that can have no end, prompting some experts to look again at ancient, but effective, ways of tackling ill health. One of these could be the use of the wild oregano plant. Around 3000 B.C., the Babylonians described wild oregano as a cure for lung and heart disease, and it is used for healing wounds and venomous bites.”1 With benefits like these, North American Herb and Spice proudly presents OregacynÔ P73, the first ever tested and researched respiratory health supplement from the leaders in oregano-based products.

The fungal fighting properties of wild oil of oregano (the main ingredient in Oregacyn
P73) are supported by research conducted at the Georgetown University Medical Center and led by Harry G. Preuss, M.D. The study, which was published in the journal Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, tested the efficacy of oregano oil against the fungal infection Candida albicans (better known as a yeast infection) in mice. The study concluded that oil of oregano “can act as a potent antifungal agent against Candida albicans.”2 With anti-fungal abilities like these it is easy to see why Business Week magazine said, “Oregano could turn into the next wonder drug.”3

In addition to oil of oregano, Oregacyn P73 also includes cumin and sage. Cumin is a strong tasting spice that is derived from the seed of a small plant belonging to the parsley and celery family. Cumin has many benefits including its antifungal powers. Tantaoui-Elaraki and Beraoud published in the Journal of Environmental Pathology, Toxicology and Oncology that cumin oil could halt the growth of the invasive forms of yeast in a rather small concentration: less than one tenth of one percent. They also found that the oil of cumin could potentially hinder the production of fungal toxins such as aflatoxin. Moreover, multiple researchers writing in the journal Nutrition and Cancer found that oil of cumin had the ability to increase the activity of a liver enzyme known as glutathione-S-transferase. This enzyme is necessary if the liver is to detoxify toxic chemicals. This means that the ingestion of cumin oil may help the body remove cancer causing chemicals via acceleration of liver detoxification. Currently, the known and potential benefits of cumin make it a powerful natural remedy for numerous maladies that plague modern man.

Sage is an herb found naturally in Europe which has strong antioxidant and antibacterial powers.4 The antioxidant effects of sage help to destroy free radicals, scavenger molecules that lack necessary electrons and create cellular havoc while hunting for their missing components, before they can do too much damage to the cellular structure of the human body.5 One of the benefits of sage is its potential ability to break down acetylcholine, which helps to preserve the compound that “seems to help prevent and cure Alzheimer’s.”6 Moreover, sage may help in the treatment of bad breath, canker sores, carpal tunnel syndrome, gingivitis and tonsillitis.7

Oregacyn P73 has been created using a proprietary, evaporative technique on the
constituent edible oils. The technique used on the wild, mountain grown oil of oregano, as well as the other natural spice extracts included in the Oregacyn P73, creates a more potent and concentrated formula than the natural edible oils possess alone. Oregacyn P73 comes in both powdered capsule and oil forms. In our experience, the oil mixture appears to contain properties all its own. North American Herb & Spice, we has seen maximum results when Oregacyn P73 is taken in both capsule and oil form simultaneously.

North American Herb & Spice is totally unique in the nutrition industry. Our creations
are the finest and purest on the earth. Our goal is to help people become as healthy as possible. It is truly amazing to discover an edible spice extract that is potentially
effective at fighting bacteria and fungi. This has led Dr. Cass Ingram, the company’s
medical researcher, to pose the question, “If Oregacyn P73 can be proven to fight bacteria and fungi equally well in humans as they have in laboratory studies, wouldn’t this be a potentially monumental accomplishment for mankind?”
