I am putting this out to the GD population in general. Gardeningjunckie is probably the single most knowledgeable person on the subject of this miserable disease around. I have had GD for about 5 or 6 years now and a day does not go by when I don't read what is said on this site. I am incredibly thankful for her knowledge and insight about this disease we all suffer from. I did fresh frozen Cilantro for about 2 years and the itching stopped. It resurfaced about 1 1/2 years ago but only minor, intermittent outbreaks. I am lazy by nature and decided to try the Cilantro oil instead of going through the process of preparing the herb and choking it down in a fruit smoothie. I have been using it since my last outbreak, and in all honesty, I don't think it's as effective as fresh frozen. My outbreak is small, and I manage the itching with ice, which I find very effective, so I continue with the oil hoping it will eventually rid me of any symptoms. On the other hand, I may just go back to the fresh, frozen in an attempt to finally be rid the symptoms entirely. My hat is off to gardeningjunckie for her incredible transparency, and all the research she has done. For my money, she far and away is the best resource about GD there is. Thank you again for all that you do for all of us.

Nodjabnoj, you are so kind and we as fellow GD sufferers can relate to each other like those that have never lived with GD suffering 24/7 for months or years cannot. We are soulmates.
I am glad to hear that your outbreaks are lessoning in severity.
In spite of us accepting this disease we both searched for alternative therapys since medical professionals had nothing to help us.
We are both the lucky ones that cilantro has helped. Your testimonial gives hope to gigic and I want so much for this to help gigic and I hope she (he) follows though with this herbal treatment and gets relief. Also hoping we get updates on her condition.
