i encourage everyone to reconsider consuming oils outside of their source material and granulated spices including salt... my experience has been much smoother

  Spices like oregano, ginger and many others disrupt the biofilm in the gut. Too much disruption would be deleterious for most people, but spices are mild in their disruptive effect, which is generally beneficial and preferable for most people to never eating any biofilm disruptors. Spices keep the biofilm to manageable levels. I have to be careful with ginger and oregano: if I haven't taken any in many days, then I take more than a quarter teaspoon of dried oregano leaves, then too many microbes in my biofilm die, which makes me feel bad (because the dying microbes release toxins). Point is, maybe you just need to introduce spices gradually.

    i didn't know that so thanks for sharing... I would love to have access to quality ginger or oregano which I could process myself and not over-granulate it... it's just so damn hard to buy food that I'm confident isn't even slightly toxic

      Granulated ginger frequently has heavy metals in it, which complicates things, but I've found Frontier Herbs's dried granulated ginger root to be safe, and I seem to be unusually sensitive to heavy metals in my food.

      Don't know if it helps, but oregano is practically a weed, the way it overtakes every pot in your planter. You don't even have to water it! As for ginger, I don't know your location, but in North America fresh organic ginger root seems to be a staple in produce stores.
