Brain surgery - Jilly:
Hello everyone :)
This is an amazing story. A family member had a tumor in between the left/right brain. She was very sick from it and on a scale of 1-10 her pain was 11. She experienced lots of seizures. A year ago she had it removed but has been even worse than before surgery for the last
yr. She now experiences about 3 seizures a day, vomiting many times,memory loss,and pain of about 20!! She cant even shower becuse
the water hurts her skull.She is also experiencing nerve damage. She is only 32 and is a single Mom with 2 kids. She has applied for disability but that will take a long time. She has maxed all credit cards and is in dire need of help. I am organing a benefit for her to raise some money to help her while awaiting disabilty. And now for the good news:
She came to me for help. The oils really made her nausiated. So I began by letting her smell brain power....and she liked it. She put a
drop on each temple and behind ears. She instantly started feeling better. I then gave her a drop of peppermint. Her nausia went away!
The pills she takes for that that wasnt helping. I then did a raindrop on her gently and didnt use heat. When we finished, she felt alot better, the best she had felt in a year and 1/2!! The best part was she said her head pain of 20 went down to a 7!! She was also rubbing her head and said it was amazing she hadnt been able to touch her head in over a year! The shower used to even hurt it.I gave her a mixture of oils to take home to rub into scalp daily and some peepermint.....she called and said the oils are helping her head and she is allieviating the nausea with peppermint.!! This has been very emotional for all of us.
I'm so Grateful and blessed
Jilly, C.M.T.
Heart Attack Recovery - Lana:
In 2003 Larry had two heart attacks, one at the end of February and the other at the end of May. The 2nd heart attack damaged the lower and back half of his heart. Larry started a cardiac rehabilitation program and had difficulties getting through the exercising. He experienced extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and frequent angina. The telemetry monitor he wore during the exercising displayed that every third heart beat was skipped. He asked the doctor about it and was told that it was part of the damage done to his heart and he would have to live with it the rest of his life. He started taking Cardia Care and noticed a marked change in how he felt and his ability to get through the exercising sessions. Due to finances, Larry only took 2 Cardia Care twice a day instead of the recommended 3 twice a day. He stopped taking it several days before a thalium treadmill test and did very poorly on the test and in rehab sessions. After the test, he started taking the Cardia Care again and noticed the difference at his next rehab session. Since then he has taken it on a regular basis and did very well through the remainder of his cardiac rehab program (except for a broken toe) and is still feeling better.
In May 2004 he noticed the skipped heart beat didn't seem to be there anymore (he was supposed to have this the rest of his life due to heart muscle damage close to a valve). His cardiologist confirmed that the skipped heart beat is no longer there. We are assuming that his heart muscle is rebuilding and his circulation in his cardiac arteries is better. His cardiologist said to keep doing what he is doing. Also, last spring he started using the Berry Young Juice once a day.
He also applies Aroma Life, Marjoram and Helichrysum oils over his heart every night. He drinks at least 3 quarts of lemon water per day and applies Grapefruit oil over his liver daily. We use Aroma Life because it has the marjoram, helichrysum and ylang ylang. He uses extra helichrysum to help clean his arteries and remove heavy metals. He uses the extra marjoram because it is supposed to help rebuild muscle tissue. Oh... and we used oils to control the pain and heal the broken toe.

Carpal Tunnel - Larry:
I had the opportunity to visit my son and his family in the spring of 2004. I had a good visit and learned that my daughter-in-law had a bad case of carpal tunnel in her left wrist. She said she has had numbness in her left thumb sinse October of the previous year. Her doctor said surgery was the only answer. She did not want to do surgery because she wanted to be a mom to her new baby daughter. I told her about essential oils and asked her if I could try to help her with them. She agreed and I went and got THE BOOK and looked up carpal tunnel, mixed up the recipe, and applied it to her wrist about 5:00 in the afternoon. The next morning she said the numbness in her thumb was gone, but she still did not have much range of motion in her wrist. I suggested that we apply the oils three times a day. The next morning she had full range of motion in her wrist. She was so impressed that we sat down at the computer and ordered the Essential 7 and the oils that weren't in it that she needed for her wrist. I told her she still needed to apply the oils at least twice a day for a while. That was in May, they came to Colorado for a visit in July and the first thing I noticed is that she no longer was wearing the wrist brace. I asked her about it and she told me that in less than a week after using the oils she quit wearing the brace and within three weeks she was only applying the oils once a week. In July she had only used the oils once, not that she needed to she just wasn't going to take a chance. The best part is she's not going to need surgery.

Burns - Joy:
I just did the most stupid thing. I touched my cook top and the burner was still on. I really burned the backside of my index, middle and ring finger on my left and. Normally, I would have used Aloe, ice and egg whites.
Instead, I grabbed the lavender out of my handbag. I poured it liberally on the affected area, 30 minutes later THERE IS NO SIGN OF A BURN.
I have decided lavender is a must have in the kitchen. I am ordering an extra bottle just to keep there from now on.
Joy
Burns - Vicki:
I just have to share my LavaDerm story... My son, Chris was in an accident on a quad (4-wheel motorcycle) about a year ago. It was really bad - he was dragged under the wheel for quite a distance and it shredded his blue jeans and tore them off of him. he had 3rd degree burns over about 2/3 of his right leg, and the hair and most of the skin were gone off the back of the leg. By the time I saw him in the emergency room, they were talking about several procedures and planned to send him to a burn unit for a few days. They said he had at least a 6 week recovery to look forward to, and that he would have scarring and permanent loss of hair on that leg.
I asked them to use Xylocaine to anesthetize the area and clean out the gravel and dirt, and then I took him home. Just by coincidence (don't you just love those?) I had bought several bottles of LavaDerm and had them on hand. We sprayed the leg down every 15 minutes or so, for the first few days, or whenever we thought about it, and I kept Chris in bed for several days. Then we went to spraying the leg several times a day... The leg was almost totally well in 2 weeks, and today, there is no scarring, and the hair is perfectly normal.
I share so much LavaDerm with friends that I've had to put it on autoship so I get a new bottle every month... It's just amazing... Oh, and one more story - Chris and his choir group went to Florida for a competition last spring. On the last day, the whole group went to the beach to get a little sun. They all came home burnt to a crisp... They were quite red and looked to me like they would blister. I started spraying Chris with LavaDerm as soon as we got home. Starting the next day, several of them came over at lunch to get sprayed with LavaDerm because Chris seemed so much better that morning and wasn't in any pain. For the next several days, they'd stop over and I'd spray them down. (And by the way, I know all of their parents, and got their permission.) Within about a week or so, the kids who did not come over to get sprayed were all starting to peel. It was a real mess. The kids who had been getting sprayed every day tanned nicely and none of them peeled... They were quite happy...
Have a wonderful day...

Back Injury- Carol:
Dear Friends,
I saw the request for testimonies on BLM and wanted to respond.
My husband has a deteriorating disk in has lower back which has given him lots of pain the last few years. He started taking BLM about six weeks ago and is very pleased with the results. He has very little pain now! Also seems to be helping all the other achiness he has had. I am going to highly recommend this product to others with similar problems.

Back Injury - Rancel Evans:
My name is Rancel Evans. My wife, Joy and I are native Sussex Countians. We would like to share with you a little about our experience with Young Living Essential Oils. I have been a chronic pain patient for over 30 years due to a lower back injury. In 1979, the doctors told me that I had irreparable nerve and muscle damage. In 1980, I went to Johns Hopkins Pain Treatment Center. I was told there was nothing that could be done to help me. I have reactions to almost every medicine taken by mouth, so for the most part I have had to "tough it out". I have been in a
number of pain treatment programs since then; trying every new gadget that medical science has dreamed up. Nothing helped! Traditional medicine just wasn't working for me. So we started searching for an alternative. We have tried all sorts of things. Finally, I gave up and refused to try anything else. (Or so I said.) My condition was getting worse. I was having increasing difficulty walking and we were sure that I was heading for a wheelchair. My left leg had lost a lot of muscle tone and felt like it had boiling water running down the outside of it constantly. I was constantly plagued with severe muscle spasms.
In June of 2002, friends that we had not seen in several years visited us. It is those wonderful people who changed our life by introducing Young Living Essential Oils to us. While sitting on the beach, they told Joy about the power of essential oils and how they could help me. Of course, she was sure that I would never let them touch me.
How surprised she was when I agreed to have my first Raindrop Treatment. She went into shock when I experienced immediate relief from my pain and it lasted for over 3 days. These sweet people taught Joy how to do the Raindrop Treatments. She began giving Raindrops to me weekly. She spent hours learning about the oils. As she gained knowledge, she began including oils known to have the ability to help nerves to regenerate.
Today I am PAIN AND SPASM FREE and I get Raindrops on an "as needed" basis! ! ! ! The quality of my life is better than it's been in 30 years. I am able to walk and stand without difficulty now. In fact, I am now President of our Fire Company – a job that I would not have been physically capable of doing a year ago.
Now about Joy! She began Hormone Replacement Therapy 6 years ago. Last summer, when she learned how dangerous that was, she decided to stop taking it. She began using YLEO's as a replacement to the HRT. She has been using the oils as a natural hormone replacement since late August and feels great.
She has, also, been using the oils to treat a chronic sinus problem with great success. She no longer needs prescription sinus medication.
Needless to say Young Living has truly changed our lives. Thank you for taking the time to read our little testimonial. We truly hope that it encourages you to step out and try an alternative way of treating health problems.
I hope this is helpful information to you!

Back and Juints - Chris:
My mother (83)is in constant pain in her joints and back. She has been using Young Living products for almost 2 yrs. Raindrop treatment and using the oils on areas of pain has given her some relief. I started her on BLM as soon as it was available. She now has freedom of movement without the shooting pains. She can stand for longer periods of time and even walking is a joy. She goes about her daily routine almost pain free. BLM has been a great help in supporting her bones and muscles.
Thank you Gary for another wonderful product!

Back and Disk - Cynthia:
My husband had the SAME disc operated on twice as the soft center of the disc came out twice, pressing against the nerves. In my opinion, it sounds as if that could be what is happening to this woman. It feels different the second time around, but the pain is so much worse. We did not have the oils or supplements at that time. Now I would use Nuerogen on the lumbar area specific to the pain, on the leg and also on the VitaFlex points on the feet for the lower spine. I recently used Valor and I believe it was PanAway on these Vita Flex points for pain my husband had in his lower back and we were amazed at the relief it brought him. Not 100%, but great improvement with one application. I feel that SulfurZyme is another fantastic product for nerve pain with one of the side benefits being improved regularity, which can be an issue when one has a lot of pain. And don't forget lots of water. Water is one of the first changes that we make when we are in a lot of pain; somehow we tend to decrease our intake.
Best wishes
Cynthia
Herniated Disk Sarah:
I used to have sciatica due to a herniated disc. I had surgery, this was before the oils. Now, I'm noticing any residual back pain is taken care of very quickly be application of Wintergreen. Lavender also helps on the feet to calm anxiety and relieve tension. I am also taking Sulfurzyme, which has allowed me to stop having to do constant stretching to relieve back pain. Also, if you are in chronic pain, a little Peace and Calming on the brain stem will do wonders. Pain exhausts us! The book says Thyme with Wintergreen is a good combo along with others (page 359). Good luck! I can relate! Have great days.
Love
Sarah
Sciatica - ?:
I have had three back surgeries for lower back and sciatica pain. PanAway, PanAway, PanAway... I have tried Relieve It and it doesn't seem to have the same power that PanAway has in relieving my lower back pain. Of course I use Peace & Calming for relieving the stress that comes along with back pain and a few others that help with other things. But one thing I NEVER run out of is my PanAway. It's what helps my back pain. Hope my subtle input helps.
Spinal Cord - Mike:
I have found that the oils PanAway, Peppermint, Cypress have given me a great deal of pain relief. I have a spinal cord injury at the T2 level (chest) and have used Regenolone cream after applying Geranium and Juniper to my spine. Hope you are all having a great day.
Mike
Back Injury - Nicole: I have back problems due to several accidents which areas are deteriorating. What I use for pain in my back when it gets bad is Oregano and Peppermint neet along the spine area that hurts. It helps alleviate the pain sometimes for weeks at a time. The new oil, Idaho Balsam Fir may also help with the pain. I tried that at Level 1 and it took away pain in my arm that I had for 6 months. For some it did not work as well so they tried to find out why. The reason was the group that it worked on drank lots of water and those it did not work on were not water drinkers. If you check the EODR you will see what areas of the spine affect the arms, legs and feet. It is important to cleanse the morphine out of the system and organs. I am sure you know how to do that. Also it may be beneficial to check the pH and take AlkaLime. For me oils and supplements seem more effective.
Hope this helps
Nicole
Herniated Disc - Carol:
I have been purchasing Young Living products for 5 years now. I dove in head first YL for my husband. His herniated disc no longer gives him problems with the help of Valor, PanAway and Regenolone. It's nice to belong to this list.
Carol
bulging disc - Jessica:
I was rear ended by a man going 45 miles per hour and had severe back issues. After about five months of chiropractic, I finally agreed to an MRI. We found a bulging disk at my L-5/S-1 vertebrae. I have had four Raindrops and LIVED on Regenolone. I also used Wintergreen/Lemongrass/Peppermint layered. A year later, I am pain free. I also bought an exercise ball and draped over it for 10 minutes three times a day. I swear that this helped more than anything!
Jessica Wild
Back Problems - Dr. D:
Someone asked about disc degeneration. Of course I don't know how bad it is degenerated, but this is what we have used in our clinic. If it is just a bulge with inflammation we use ImmuPower on the inflammation along with Lavender to take down swelling. The ImmuPower is to activate macrophages to the area. This we send home with the patient and tell them to put it on every hour with ice for 15 minutes for 3 days. We do Raindrop to take down spasm in the muscles.
Regenolone is a must. That stuff is my favorite thing. If you can only choose one thing, choose it. I had a patient with 2 disc bulges for 9 years and Regenolone loosened the muscles so much that the discs popped right back into place and they have been pain free for the first time in years. We are now trying it on a 60-year old man who has had leg calve Perth's in both hips since he was 6 years old. I told him to give it several months. Hope that helps.
Dr. D
Inflamed Tendons - Celeste:
My husband had a condition in his both of his arms that the doc said was caused by the tendons being inflamed and to rest them. Rest didn't help and they would hurt just as much upon his awakening in the morning as when he had worked hard with them! But I had read that most of these types of conditions have as their source the ligaments being too loose. So when I started using the oils for my feet, neck and back to regenerate ligament tissue, he asked me to rub some on his arms. He got a much quicker response than I did with complete relief of the constant aching/pain in about 2 weeks. My relief for the feet, neck and back took about 2-3 months. Oh, but what blessed relief! Lemongrass and Lavender in equal amounts are what helped my hubby and me. We also used Ortho Sport massage oil on his arms. We are so thankful we tell everyone!
Be blessed
Celeste
Back Pain - Nancy:
My husband woke up one morning and collapsed on the floor. He's 31. He told me he couldn't move, much less stand. His back was in excruciating pain. I left him on the floor immobile while taking care of the children. I finally got back in, found which disc was causing the pain and put one drop of Lemongrass on it followed by 1 drop of Peppermint to drive it in. Within a couple of minutes he was able to move his body. Every couple of hours, I reapplied the oils until he could do it himself. The next day we went to the doctor who said he had done the same thing and that he'd be in horrible pain for at least three weeks. Well, no more pain and I got an avid EO convert in my home. This painful experience was a truly a teaching blessing.
Keep sharing

Back - Donna:I had an interesting experience last evening that I thought I would share. I've been having a discomfort in my upper back. It felt cramped. I really didn't have a stiff neck and the mobility wasn't affected, but it was uncomfortable. I've tried a variety of different oils alone and in layers. I was using some of my oils to make baths salts for Christmas and intuitively grabbed the Clove and rubbed it on my neck. Within 15 minutes this uncomfortable feeling I've had for several days disappeared. Clove Oil isn't listed under the complaints I checked, although if you look under Clove itself, bones and arthritis are mentioned.
Donna
Back Pain - Patrece:
The first product I ever knew about with YLEO was Aroma Siez for a back pain and it worked wonderfully. That doesn't answer your specific question about Regenolone which I use every day as a facial cream. I have no idea why I do that, but it feels and smells great all day!
Patrece
Spina Bifida - Linda K:
I am using Regenolone cream on both of my shoulders and moving it downward into my back a bit. It has done wonders for me! I have Arthritis and Spina Bifida. Spina Bifida affects the bone coverage across the spine. I have also used it down my back along both sides of the spine. To answer your question, yes it gives me great relief from pain! For instance I woke up this AM and the shoulders were so sore I didn't want to move my arms at all. I put the Regenolone cream on and within minutes the pain was under control. I generally use it in the AM and then again before going to bed for the night. I'm thinking that perhaps it works best for me as it is a cream and not a oil, thus it last longer pain wise. I have not tired the PD 80/20 so can not give you any input about it. I would suggest that you try the Regenolone cream and I'm hoping it will work for you as it has for me. This is not medical advice here, just a statement on how it works for me. I'd love to hear a statement from you if it works or not! Good Luck!

Whiplash - Christine V:I had a whiplash that no professional could touch after weekly visits for almost 3 years. The maximum limit of my weight carrying - and it hurt, was a house key, car key and credit card. I started with Valor and used Trauma Life and Joy every day for 2 months. Also Bergamot (there was grief), Sandalwood (had to change my level of consciousness), Forgiveness and Inner Child. Especially lots of Valor on the main pain site and holding my feet. I loved the smell, so that was not a challenge.
One day approximately 2 months later, I felt I had to go to a sleep while holding my feet. However, I had to be out of the house in fifteen minutes and argued with the heavenly folks upstairs who said I would be awake in time as my eyes dropped closed and I fell into a deep sleep. A couple of minutes later my head jerked up to the right, produced a huge cracking sound and I was awake.
Slowly I got my bearings. I had no idea of time. I was wide awake. About 5 minutes had passed which seemed like an hour's worth of sleep. I gently turned by head to the center, then the left, then right, rechecked the ease of movement in the neck, realized I was fully alert and on time to leave the house completely pain free. That was three weeks ago February 14, 1998. If I strain myself moving boxes, furniture, etc, I head for the Valor and use it generously for 2-3 days till all pain is gone. Good luck. I hope this provides insight to assist you.
Christine, Vancouver
Terrible Back Pain:
Brenda injured her back again at her job and was in terrible pain so that she could hardly stand up. This was just a few days before she had to move to her new apartment with Mike in Springfield so she was freaking out over it and her desperation caused her to allow me to apply oils on her injury. I put Marjoram and Lemongrass on because those are the oils for injured muscles and ligaments and then I "sealed them in" with Ortho Sport massage oil. She was up all night the evening before with all the pain and couldn't sleep, so I put Cedarwood on her feet to relax her. Within five minutes she was snoring away.
The next morning she was so improved that she said, "OK, you can write me up in the medical journals now!" I applied the oils to her again in the next two days and on the third day she was helping to load the moving van. I am thinking of the words to a famous hymn - "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow".
Happy reading
Lyn
Piraformis Syndrome:
My business partner John has a condition called Piraformis Syndrome. What this is, is the Piraformis muscle which comes down off the butt/hip area and into the back of the leg has somehow shortened up which presses against the sciatic nerve and causes the same symptoms as a person who has sciatia.
John has had this for over a year now. At first they thought it was sciatica and just treated him with muscle relaxers, pain killers, and anti-inflammatories. Just recently he changed doctors and the new one figured out what the real problem was. With a few simple (but painful) stretches he gave us to do, we should be able to stretch the muscle back out and stop it from pinching the sciatic nerve.
One of John's biggest complaints is that he constantly has a "burning" in the hip and back of the leg. So I looked up sciatica in my Essential Oil Desk Reference and found that Regenolone was listed there as a topical treatment.
So we ordered a bottle. The first time that I put it on him, even before I had it completed rubbed in, he said the burning feeling was gone. I usually use the Regenolone on him twice a day and he is having great results. He can walk with much less pain, and like I said, he doesn't have the burning feeling anymore. He used Regenolone on a client of his who has true sciatica and she was amazed how well she felt after he put it on her.
Wanted to pass along some more good news about these wonderful products.

Low Back Pain:
I have had decades of experience with low back pain. I was the Queen of pain killers for that pain until I discovered YLEO. In March 1999, a
neighbor gave me Peppermint when I was flat in bed with a nasty cold. I also had been "lucky" enough to have allergies all my life. She suggested
Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and RC to help my system overcome the allergies. Those oils were miracles to me - for the first time in 28 years, I did not
have to take allergy pills three or four times a day. What was even more amazing to me, within 2 months, I realized that I did not need the painkillers that I always took for the back pain!!! I had no idea which oil was helping to restore that part of my body, but I accepted gratefullythe miracle of the oils. Today, knowing a little more than I did then, I would guess Peppermint is my miracle oil.
I still have back discomfort from time to time (because I have more weight than is optimal) and I use Valor on my feet and then whatever is left over
on my hands, I rub on the back I can reach. I also still use a drop of Peppermint under my nose every night before bed and upon waking. The two
oils have kept me feeling well and off pain-killers for 4 1/2 years.
I love my oils!!!

Splinter:
Much discussion this last week at the Nashville Convention was on the Thieves Oil and the other related products that use the Thieves Oil Blend (Thieves Lozenges, Thieves wipes, Thieves Spray and Thieves Household cleaner) We will be getting more information to you on the ''details'' over the next couple of weeks.
This morning Sharie shares this about using Thieves on a Splinter.....thanks Sharie!
Hi Dastrups!
I had to write and tell you my story about a splinter and Thieves!
About a month ago, our 5 year old son was visiting some friends. When he came home that evening he said he had stepped on something and that it was hurting very badly. I checked it out and could see what looked like a simple splinter in his heel. He never likes to wear shoes and his feet are like leather on the bottom! I picked at it a bit, but couldn’t really find anything so we washed the foot well, told him we would look at it the next day and tucked him into bed. In the morning, he said it didn’t hurt anymore and although the spot was a little red, it didn’t look like anything was still inside. We just assumed he had stepped on a “goat head” sticker and they sometimes leave a lingering “sting”. The matter was simply dropped.
Well, last Friday night I happened to get a good look at that foot and noticed the spot where the sticker had been was now quite hard. Yesterday I cornered him and told him I thought I should take a look. I was quite amazed to find that new skin had grown over a now deeply embedded, very hard thorn! I worked on the spot for a bit trying to loosen the skin around the thorn, but there was no way I could get a hold of it with tweezers. It was deep and seemed to be locked in. I couldn’t believe he had been walking around on it for so long without complaint!
Anyway, I was starting to worry about how much it was going to hurt him to have to dig that thing out. It wasn’t going to be easy. Then I remembered a testimony about using Thieves to draw splinters to the surface. I decided to give it a try. I dropped one drop squarely into the hole in his heel and WOW!!! Before my eyes, the piece of thorn moved up and out of its position!!! I was amazed! You could actually SEE the movement! All I had to do was pick it up with the tweezers. No pain at all! It ended up being the tip of a thorn from a tree in our friends yard and measured about 1/8”!
Boy, did we have a story to tell Dad last night!!

Coma:
On the third Monday morning of November a friend from our church had a car accident hitting a deer on the way to work. George was in and out of a coma for 3 days. On the 4th day his wife Angie gave me and another YLO distributor, Jennifer permission to visit him in intensive care and use young living essential oils on his feet, shoulders and head. We got such amazing results that within minutes of inhalation of frankincense and myrrh, George was becoming more alert. I visited him 3 more times on my own using several oils on his feet and head. The second visit his eyes were open (they were swollen shut the first visit) and the swelling had gone down immensely. M-grain had relieved his headaches and cypress had taken down his swelling of his head and he was in a semi-private room two days later. On the third visit he was asking questions and was very impressed how powerful the oils were and the results we were getting from YLO. George is home now and it's wonderful to see him on Sunday morning with his wife and two children (he has a 6 month old daughter). I truly appreciate the opportunity YLO has afforded all of us and I will continue to spread the Good News about the quality and healing properties of YLO. I feel blessed to be a part of the company and to truly make a difference in other people's lives. PS George's wife Angie gave me a nice note thanking me for my "wonderful Oils". I hope everyone has a blessed Holiday Season and prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,
Marylouise Malone-Sundt
Bone Spurs:
My 82 year old mom(who was warning me about becoming a distributor) now sings the praises of YL wintergreen oil which she used sparingly on the bone spur on her heel, miraculously it went away- she's walking better & uses it on her knees too. mind you she only used wintergreen and knowing her she used very little and results were quick!
God Bless these oils. I was afraid that mom would have to go for surgery after just losing Dad to Cumaden, he was 91 and drug free till that time.
regards,
Vivian
Side note: In a lecture Gary Young recommends RC blend mixed one to one with Idaho Balsam Fir for disolving bone spurs.
Lowering Cholesterol with Oils:
Hi Folks
I have always been pretty healthy but in October of 1999 I began to feel chest pains when walking up hills. Our mailbox is at the bottom of a steep hill 1/4 mile long and I have been walking up and down that hill for 22 years, even running up the hill sometimes. The pains got worse and by November it got almost excruciating before I got back up the hill. My feeling was that my heart was strong, but some blockages had formed in my major blood vessels in the chest. As long as I did not walk too vigorously, etc., there was no pain. Then one day in January I was walking up a gentle incline and almost collapsed from the pain. In February I went to an MD for a comprehensive exam.
He said my heart was good, my blood pressure was perfect (120/70), my blood sugar was fine, etc., except that I was a bit overweight and my cholesterol was about 270. He was a friend of mine and knew that I avoided prescription drugs and almost everything else allopathic, but he said, "You know if you were anyone else I would send you right over for a treadmill test, but
would you do what they recommended if the test did not come out well?" In other words, would you consider angioplasty or bypass surgery?
I answered without hesitation, "Absolutely not! There has to be a natural way to deal with this and I will look until I find it!" Being naturally oriented himself, the doctor recommended some natural things, which I did: Daily doses of Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Chromium picolinate and Omega oils, and to change my diet according to a book, The McDougall Program by John A. McDougall, M.D. and so I did. I checked my cholesterol three months later and it had dropped to 206, but the triglicerides were still up and although my chest pains were less, they were still there.
In July of 2000 I started on the YLEO's Life Transformation Program and have kept it up to the present, my wife and I go to the gym several mornings a week between 6:30 and 7:30 AM. I also started drinking the old Vermont Medicine remedy, vinegar and honey using Bragg's natural vinegar and raw honey, which is supposed to lower cholesterol. I also consulted my PDR and found that Gary has a formula of Rosemary, Helichrysm, and Roman chamomile and started using it, a dropper full every day beneath the tongue.
The first day in the gym in July (right after the YLEO convention) I could hardly get around the track more than a dozen time for the pain, but I knew that my heart was strong and that I was merely pushing blood through narrow vessels that would eventually clear out and expand. It took me about 20 minutes to walk a mile when I started and it hurt.
Then we took Level II training with Gary and I learned about Tsuga, Goldenrod, and Ginger and so I added them to my daily oil formula. In November I got another blood test and while my cholesterol was the same, my triglicerides had fallen from over 200 to under 150 and I was experiencing less and less chest pains as my speed increased daily around the track.
Now I can do a mile in less than 12 minutes usually with a little tightness, but sometimes with no pain or discomfort at all. I haven't had another blood test yet but will do so soon to see how things are going. I know they are going well, however, because I can now walk up my hill from the mailbox vigorously and feel no pain at all.
The formula I use (one dropper full under my tongue followed by a glass of juice or water) is as follows:
1 15ml bottle of Rosemary ( contains camphene 7% which lowers cholesterol) (3 parts)
2 5ml bottles of Roman Chamomile (blood and liver cleanser, stress reducer) (2 parts)
2 5ml bottles of Tsuga (contains camphene 15% which lowers cholesterol) (2 parts)
1 5ml bottle Helichrysm (a chelator of paque in blood vessels, heart regulator) (1 part)
1 5ml bottle of Ginger (contains curcumene 15% which lowers triglicerides) (1 part)
1 5ml bottle of Goldenrod (supports heart function and a natural Viagra) (1 part)
I just mix all of these into a cleaned-out Mineral Essense bottle (with dropper) and put a dropper-full in my mouth every morning. It doesn't taste good, but I would rather endure the taste of the oils than the pain and injury of bypass surgery which (by the way carries a 50-50 chance of causing permanent brain damage). I also continue to stick close to the McDougal diet, which is vegetarian. (I do eat some fish, though.)
All I know is that it is working for me. I will give you an update on my cholesterol levels in a month when I get my next blood test. But even without the test, I know things are working because my chest pains are going away and I am getting faster and faster around the track.

Lowering Cholesterol:
After 3 months on Berry Young Juice and Sulfurzyme my husband dropped his cholesterol down 54 points and also lost 15 pounds. He used to suffer with frequent painful episodes of joint inflammatin and that too is totally gone. He hasn't had any pain in his feet for almost a year now and is back to running 5k races! His doctor says he has 50 more points to drop to get into the "safe" zone for
cholesterol or else he "should" consider a prescription. My sweetie is now taking Essential Omegas(good fatty acids),Cayenne,and Super B every day along with BYJ now.He went from eating red meat as a staple in his diet to less than once a week. His
next checkup is coming up so I am looking forward to another healthy low reading!
Blessings and be well,

Lowering Cholesterol:
I hate to butt my nose in, but I just have to.
First of all, if you are happy with your doctor, have no side effects (medically) from the drug and your personality (emotional) has not been affected by the drug, then stop reading this email right now. HOWEVER, If you notice side effects from Lipitor. If your personality seems different - you are short tempered, irritable, depressed, anxious......
Then you should truly consider a change.
YLEO Ultra Young (with or without DHEA) is a miracle product when it comes to dealing with cholesterol. My ex-husband's cholesterol was 286. He went on Lipitor and it was a nightmare. I had him stop the drug and gave him a bottle of Ultra Young with DHEA that he used 2 times a day. 2 sprays in the AM 2 sprays in the PM. Within 6 months his cholesterol was 180. Granted, in the first month or two I was the Nagging Wife From Hell. Everyday "Did you Spray?" "Have you Sprayed today?" "Where's Your Spray?" But once the routine was set, the product worked a miracle.
My cholesterol was 224, after four months of Ultra Young I'm down below 180. So consider the product for yourself. Of course it goes without saying that you should talk to your doctor. I am certainly not qualified to give any medical advice, only my own experience with Lipitor and the YLEO products.

Young Life Research Clinic:
I¹ve been involved with Young Living Essential Oils for the past 3 years and have found these oils and supplements to be astounding in their ability to support my immune system and repel viruses and bacteria. In October 2001, I spent a week at the Young Life Research Clinic and the experience was life changing. I was diagnosed with HIV Disease in 1987. Eleven years later, I was on several medications intended to prevent the virus from replicating and destroying my immune system. The medications did not come without side effects though. The medications were causing neuropathy (tingling and numbness of the feet and shins), and they were interfering with my body¹s ability to process fats. As a result my cholesterol rose from 170 to 232, and I gained 20 pounds.
My sister, my chiropractor, and Carl Janicek, a Homeopathic Doctor all introduced me to the oils as a team. I began using the oils for a chronic skin condition, but soon found that they were helpful in controlling the side effects from the medications. I used Juvaflex over my liver area twice a day, and the neuropathy in my feet and legs disappeared. I was so excited I became passionate about learning as much as possible about the oils by attending Young Living trainings and conventions.
At the 2000 Convention, Dr. Gary Young announced that the Young life Research Clinic would be opening in January 2001, and at that moment, I knew I needed to get to that clinic. I became inspired over the 2 days of convention by Dr. Young¹s lectures and had a deep knowing that I could stop taking the HIV medications and the Young Living oils and nutritional supplements would support my body in healing itself.
Last year, on September 1, 2000, I stopped taking all my HIV medication, and on January 1, 2001, I started the Young Living Life Style Transformation Program, and in 4 months, I lost 20 pounds and brought my cholesterol back down to 170.
Some of the products I found most useful are Powermeal, Ultra Young Spray, Juvatone, Vitagreen, Be Fit, Stevia, Sulfurzyme, Comfortone, Megazyme, Juvaflex, Endoflex, Grapefruit and Di-Tone.
I began taking a few oils internally, but wasn¹t sure which would be best for me or how much to take. Intuitively, I knew my body would benefit from using the oils internally.
At convention 2001, after listening to the testimonials from several people who had remarkable result at the Young Life Research Clinic, I knew I needed to get to the clinic to find a protocol designed specifically for me. Two very special people sponsored my trip to the clinic, financially, and made it possible for my dream to come true!
I spent a week at the Young Life Clinic in October, and it was a powerful healing experience.
They started me on the Master Cleanse immediately which was a 3 day fast of distilled water/lemon juice/grade b maple syrup/cayenne pepper. On the 4th and 5th day I also drank 1/2 gallon of apple juice. At the end of the fifth day I drank 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup lemon juice mixed together. This helps to pass gall stones. During the fast I received colonics, raindrop treatments, and lymphatic massage among many other therapies listed below. I also took carbozyme, detoxzyme, polyzyme, vitagreen, comfortone, ICP, thyromin, master hers, sulfurzyme, and immugel. The oils they suggested I take internally in vegetarian capsules are:
I take each of the internal oils three times per day and each blend I take 10 minutes apart so they don¹t mix in my stomach. I feel healthy, energized, and I know my immune system is repairing itself with the help of these oils. Before going to the clinic I had chronic staph infections due to my suppressed immune system. These infections cleared up while I was at the clinic and I have had no recurrence since (about 4 months). This is awesome for me! I highly recommend everyone make it your goal to get yourself to the clinic whether it¹s for 2 days or 6 weeks - the cleansing, treatments, and supplements are for everyone to use to get healthier. The Basic Health Package is $349, this includes the doctor¹s exam, darkfield and dry blood analysis, contact reflex analysis, and the scheduling of your suggested treatment program.
The Optimum Package can be approximately $1,500-2,500 a week depending upon your needs and the condition of your health. Some of the therapies offered are: mind body connection and emotional therapies including DNA reprogramming, chiropractor care, nutritional counseling, IV therapies (high dose vitamin C, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen
peroxide, trace minerals, GH3, DMSO, chelation), a wide variety of massage techniques, raindrop technique, auricular therapy, bio-energetic frequency enhancer (B.E.F.E.), chi and heat dome, ear coning, electrical stimulation, gym privileges, light therapy, oxygen therapy, quantum computerized energy evaluation, solofirm, vax-D, and whirlpool/sauna with essential oils. If you would like more information about the clinic, contact the clinic directly at: (801) 489-8650.
To your excellent health and longevity,

Breast Cancer:
Then in passing, I thought I would share with you the results of the latest blood test findings. As you already know, I have been engaged in fighting breast cancer which was caught at a deadly stage 3C (stage 4 is dead) In April 2004 it was 435 and in July 2004 it was 332, October it was 92 and this January 21 the markers were at 38.
I have been using Frankincense on the arm pits and breasts as the cancer had metastasized to the lymph nodes by the time they did the biopsy last June, removing the huge hairy lymph nodes and gave me the unpleasant news. I made many life style changes that very day, and continue to read and learn and hope to be helpful to others in your group one day, as I steadily progress to good health and youth.
I will be 72 on May 6th of this year, and my dear ones, I will see 82 and good health in 10 more years. Drink a bottle of Berry Young Juice and think of me on occasion.
Smile, Your little 110 lb wonder,
Ardell Moore
Fibromyalgia:
I am a 47 year old female. For the past 10 years I had been riddled with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia...and to top it off have had a compromised immune system. I was bedridden on and off several times during the past 10 years and when I was not in bed, had to use a cane to steady myself when walking. I was on a ton of medication that got rid of the pain, but made me lose track of the days, months and years. I missed out on a good portion of my young son's life (then 10 when this all began) as well as had to give up all of my activities that I loved - walking, skiing, hiking with my dogs, kayaking. I was sick and tired all the time. I wanted to die if living the rest of my life was going to be like this. The medical profession did not give me much hope for improvement.
Then, in 2002 I found out about the Young Living oils Pan Away and Aroma Seize and started using them. I was able to wean myself off of all of my pain killers in about 3 months. I began using other oils (Joy, Peace & Calming, Thieves) and noticed a positive change in my emotional state and was able to stop using anti-depressants. I started to feel better physically and emotionally!
BEFORE:
December 20, 2002.
165 lbs.
"Embarrassed and disgusted with my weight, my demeanor, and my appearance"
AFTER:
September 2003.
"130 lbs with lots of energy"
My next adventure was with Berry Young Juice in 2003. I was told because I was so run down I would need to take it 3-6 times per day to start. After about a week or two I noticed I woke up feeling refreshed and with energy. I started to take daily walks in my neighborhood and within a week I was walking the full 2 mile loop! I hadn't been able to walk to my mailbox for 10 years and now I was walking 2 miles! Then I started doing light hikes with my husband - we cried together the first time I was able to hike to a mountain lake I had always wanted to see. By the end of last summer I was hiking 10 miles 3 times a week. I even was able to go out kayaking with my husband at a nearby lake. Needless to say, I have Berry Young Juice on my Autoship program!
Now, in 2004 I have been able to start cross-country skiing again and have been out at least 3 times a week and can go from 6-10 miles at a very good speed! I have lost 35 pounds in the last 8 months and have lots of energy. I feel like a NEW person.
AFTER:
January 22, 2004
"Cross Country Skiing at 125 lbs. 7 mile trail trip. My face shows tons of energy and a new "zest" for living! At this point I have lost 40 lbs in just under 10 months, am a perfect weight for myself and am now working on building up my muscles!"
As far as my immune system...before Berry Young Juice, I was sick with everything and anything that went around - and unusual things as well. Now that I am on a daily regimen of Berry Young Juice, I rarely get sick and when I did get the flu this year, it was gone in 24 hours - not days/weeks like those around me.
My husband, to whom I have been married just over 5 years, has never seen me well/healthy and has had to physically take care of me almost every day thinks Young Living creates miracles. He is overjoyed! My relationship with my son (now 20) is beginning to improve as well now that I am well and we can talk about my PAST health problems and how it impacted his childhood. My family is all making up for lost time.
While I use several Young Living products on a daily basis, I believe it is the Berry Young Juice that has put me over the top by helping to strengthen my immune system and give me the energy to face each new day with a positive spirit.
Thank you Young Living!

Autisim:
Someone in my downline has had absolutely ASTOUNDING results with BRAIN POWER and PEACE & CALMING with her 12 year old son. He had hated school and had a major problem being able to focus on anything. He now LOVES school and HE had asked his mom to give someone at school the Brian Power to use it during the day. His teachers cannot get over the 100% turn around this boy has experienced.
She has also been diffusing Peace & Calming at home as well.
Hope that this will help.

Lower Cholesterol:
I've been working with someone in my downline who had a kidney transplant two years ago. Prior to her transplant, the only oils she was using were Sacred Mountain and Valor. This past year her doctor told her that her cholesterol was high and wanted to put her on medication. She came to me seeking an alternative to meds, and I suggested Aroma Life. Since mid-September 2004 to this date, she has been using Aroma Life approximately 5 days a week, putting the
oil on her wrist pulse points. She made no changes in her lifestyle or diet. When her doctor retested her cholesterol this past December, her numbers went from 238 to 201!! Pretty amazing!! I told her that if she were to cut back on her dairy products (she loves cheese), she would most likely see that number decrease even more. Needless to say, she is thrilled with the outcome, and I am thrilled for her. The doctor, on the other hand, didn't even want to know how she accomplished this!
Just love these oils...

Ear Problems.
Any time I get the slightest cold, or fly anywhere my one ear gets all plugged up and then has water inside it gurgling around for about two weeks after. This time I had gone up in the mountains for a ski trip and that got it started. Every time I bend over the fluid gurgles from one place to another and then I cant hear till it gurgles to the bottom in 5 min. or so. Needless to say it is truly annoying!! I looked up everything in the ref. book about ear and fluid and.... and.... but of course there is nothing directly on something quite as weird as this. So experimentation time. Thieves of course helped a little. But I had just gotten Exodus ll and figured I would try it mainly because it smelled sooooo good! I firmly stroked it on from the back of my ear down to the bottom of my throat and no kidding in less than 5 min. the pressure in my ear was subsiding and I could 'pop' it when I yawned. I put it on a couple more times a day and in two days instead of two weeks the water was gone and my hearing was back to normal! I love this stuff!!!
Ok while I'm on the subject of ears, My 2 year old grandson had gotten a nasty cold from daycare kids. We got the cough and fever under control with Thieves and diffusing Purification in the vaporizer but he woke up from his nap one afternoon pulling on his ears and saying "ear ouch". The whining began and his Mother was beside herself. Oils to the rescue. We decided to take a tablespoon of warm olive oil and 5 drops of Melrose, mix it together and place about 5 drops right in each ear canal and stuff it with a small cotton ball. Of course he didn't leave the cotton in very long but the oil did its job. The next morn. no more complaining about ear ouch and it was truly amazing what came out of his little ear over night and the next day. As well as clearing up the ear ache, it cleaned out all of the wax build up and his little ears have been clean as a whistle since and he has been a happy little boy (that is, as much as 2 year olds are!). Five drops of Melrose, or a Dr visit and a week of antibiotics what a wonderful alternative!!!!!

Young Living Oils Purity:
There is no way I would ever mix a non-YL oil with YL essential oils. Why? Because I would not want to adulterate them! Their purity and quality have given me new quality of life, and for that I am very, very thankful.
When I first started using YLEO, I was shocked that it was even possible! I was highly chemical sensitive and could not go anywhere near the aroma therapy isle in health food stores without a major reaction . . . even though my sense of smell was so poor that I could not even smell them! When my nutritionist recommended I use 3 YLEO singles and 1 blend for improved wellness, I thought she was totally nuts! Her explanation at that time (almost 7 years ago) was that YLEO was different and the ONLY oils she would recommend for me . . . because they are 100% therapeutic grade . . . and contain NO chemicals of any kind . . . from growth through the distillation and bottling processes. The end result is that I found I was able to use things like lavender oil EVEN THOUGH I was allergic to lavender plants and flowers AND through YLEO and other alternatives I gained a normal sense of smell and decreased my chemical sensitivities by at least 90%.
In this case my oversensitive body was a real asset to me . . . as it lead me to the finest oils in the world, and thus the strong conviction that it pays to stick the closest to creation, purity and quality possible when it comes to essential oils.
Over the almost 7 years I've used them, I've increased my inventory of oils slowly, so that I now have a very healthy and representative variety of singles and blends to chose from on any given occasion. . . and I use them daily in and on me, as well as diffusing and sharing them.
Keep oiling and increasing your levels (and there are many!) of wellness .
Have a great day!

Amazing Tooth Story:
I recently had a very interesting dental experience. I had lost a couple of teeth due to decay and abscesses. Also, I was having some gum problems. Every time I would floss, my gums would hurt and bleed. It was not an enjoyable experience. Whenever I would visit the dentist, I would be told about the newest problems that had appeared since my last visit. The hygienist would spend at least ½ hour cleaning and flossing my teeth. I really didn't look forward to dental visits.
About 7 months ago, I started using the Dentarome Ultra and Fresh Essence Plus because I had read about the great results others were experiencing. Six months after starting this program I went for my check-up. I saw a new hygienist. She examined my teeth and asked if I flossed regularly. Well, for me regularly is about once a week. So I said, " yes". ( I know that's not what she meant but that's about as regular as flossing gets for me.) She looked at my teeth again and asked if my gums bled when I flossed. I thought for a second and realized that my gums didn't bleed anymore when I flossed. Amazing! Then she told me something I will never forget. She
said, "Your mouth care is impeccable! Everything looks good. I'll just polish your teeth and you're done."
I was in shock. No one has ever used the work "impeccable" in relation to my mouth! She cleaned and polished my teeth and I was out in record time, and she didn't have a list of new problems to look forward to. It was the best dentist's visit of my life!

Lip Sore:
Hi Richard, Just a note about Onycha from the bible oils set. I don't see that some of these bible oils can be ordered anywhere, but wanted to tell you about onycha. Last week for the first time in years I got one of those nasty lip sores but couldn't remember what I used to use on them years ago when I worked at the hospital. I put on a drop of lavender and melrose, but the next morning it was a biggie the size of my little fingernail. I remembered finally that we used tincture of benzoin and also remembered that onycha was benzoin, so I took off the top and dipped a toothpick into that thick stuff and painted the sore with it. It burned a bit, but by evening it already looked better. I put that on twice a day for about 3 days and just once a day for another day or so. It never oozed or crusted over alike they usually do. It just gradually subsided much faster than usual. By the end of a week, even the swelling had gone. But now I can't even find it mentioned in YL literature anywhere, but thought I would pass this on anyway.

Art Skin Care: Birthday Gift
I started using ART skin care system since early February. To be honest, I didn't like the crème (Night Reconstructor and Day Activator) for the initial 3 days (I have extremely sensitive skin), but after the initial 3 days, I could tell the huge difference on my skin, which motivated me to keep using them. After a while I got used to the products and now I love them (I love the facial cleanser from the beginning, that's the best cleanser that I'd ever used in my life).
Anyway, amazing thing happened to me. My oldest son's (age 11) friend visited our house the other day for the first time. When I opened the door to invite him in, this boy looked at me and said "Oh, Hello, are you Sean's SISTER?" I couldn't believe it, but his word definitely made me happy especially because it happened on my birthday J That was the best birthday gift that I got this year.
Also, one thing to note. When I used YL Boswellia Wrinkle crème in the past, my skin under my eyes got irritated (again, I have extremely sensitive skin). I used it anyway because of the result that I could see remarkably.. Now I happily report that Boswellia Wrinkle crème doesn't make my skin irritated any longer when I apply it on top of the ART Night Reconstructor..
My mother's skin is definitely different for BETTER after she started using ART system after 3 weeks. She had a brown spot on her nose, which became darker and darker as she aged, but thanks to ART system, the brown spot started shrinking and I couldn't even tell it was there when I saw her the other day. She is extremely happy with the result. Two of the ladies that I met recently who also started using ART system were asked by their friends if they had a face lift. So, we are seeing some positive results.
Have a HAPPY EASTER!
