Here is another reason to make your body RESISTANT to disease. YOU can do this by changing your pH level to the Alkaline side - eat and drink Alkaline foods - test your pH levels with pH test strips which you can get at most all drug stores.
Oil of Oreganol is anti-fungal as well.

PORTLAND A new and potentially fatal strain of an airborne fungus, related to one that killed several people on Canada's Vancouver Island, has turned up in Oregon and researchers say they don't know how it got here.
Since 1999, Cryptococcus gatti is known to have killed 19 people and sickened more than 160 others, and killed or sickened scores of animals on the island, where it remains a problem.
Between 2006 and 2008, 13 human cases were diagnosed in Washington state and nine in Western Oregon.
Molecular geneticists and microbiologists at Duke University found three varieties of Cryptococcus gatti, and one of them is unique to Oregon. It is known as Cryptococcus gatti VGIIc.
