Both cinnamaldehyde and cinnamon oil vapors are potent anti-fungal compounds.2 Preliminary human evidence confirms this effect in a clinical trial with AIDS (page 239) patients suffering from oral Candida (thrush) infections that improved with topical application of cinnamon oil.3 Antibacterial actions have also been demonstrated for cinnamon.4 The diterpenes in the volatile oil have shown anti-allergic activity5 as well. In addition, water extracts may help reduce ulcers.6 Test tube studies also show that cinnamon can augment the action of insulin.

Cin-namaldehyde and cinnamon oil vapors exhibit extremely potent antifungal properties in test tubes.13 In a preliminary study in people with AIDS (page 239), topical application of cinnamon oil was effective against oral rhrush.14 A test tube study demonstrated that oil of oregano (page 719), and an extract in the oil called carvacrol in particular, inhibited the growth of Candida albicans far more effectively than a commonly employed antifungal agent called calcium magnesium caprylate.15 However, clinical studies are needed to confirm these actions in humans.

Similarly, a Russian variation of the garlic massage involves mixing eight ounces of minced garlic in four ounces of olive oil, along with small amounts of anise, cinnamon oil or caraway to hide the pungent garlic smell. Massage this garlic-olive oil mixture into your foot, as you would the fresh garlic in the Jamaican cure. Trichophyton also causes toenail fungus, yet it is much more difficult to cure than simple athlete's foot. To prevent toenail fungus, follow the same guidelines as for athlete's foot prevention: keep your feet dry and wear dry socks and well-ventilated shoes.

Do not use commercial or aromatherapy grade cinnamon oil, which is made from the leaves instead of the edible bark. Use instead the regular commercial spice, or, preferably, freshly ground cinnamon sticks (which may be processed in a coffee grinder). Or, take edible cinnamon oil. This type of oil is made only from the unprocessed natural cinnamon bark, the same type used for the spice. Avoid aromatherapy cinnamon oils. These are usually produced from the leaves and/or root bark, both of which are unfit for human consumption.

With that said, there's probably not a whole lot of cinnamon in the gum, so I wouldn't consider it to be a medicinal dose of cinnamon oil. The next best flavor is spearmint. After that, my third choice is peppermint and finally strawberry flavor. The strawberry-flavored and the fruit-favored versions of Spry gum suffer from a lack of flavor longevity. The flavor simply fades away in record time, leaving you chewing a flavorless gum base. So stick with the cinnamon and spearmint if you want long-lasting flavor. You can purchase Spry gum at www.sprydental.com or any local health food store.

Another reader said that she noticed that when a fad started at school that involved soaking toothpicks in cinnamon oil and chewing them, her son (who loved cinnamon) swiftly stopped his bed-wetting (after M.D.'s and chiropractors failed to help). He was 11 years old at that time. She said that she shared this remedy with some other mothers, and in one case, a 9-year-old girl who was a habitual bed-wetter almost immediately ceased wetting after she began chewing on pieces of cinnamon bark purchased at the health food store. Another folk remedy is a teaspoon of honey taken at bedtime.

Other dietary supplements, such as vitamins and minerals, are concentrated forms as well.
