I agree, but that is not what was noted in the trials I read, so did not
want to confuse the issue with the Oregano oil.  Plus, I agree with your
conjecture, but it remains to be proved. It could be either or both.

Also, oregano oil's actual percentages depends on the oregano. The 80/10/10
you note is the oil preferred by those who use it in the holistic world.
They note that the less beneficial oil has a higher percentage of Thymol (up
to 45%) and recommend steering clear of it.

Nice to see your results on feeding. How did you feed the syrup?
