The Four Steps to Immunity

Audio: The Four Steps to Immunity

To listen to audio, click on link at the bottom of this article.

This is Doug Corrigan, the Training and Education Director for Young Living Essential Oils. As usual we have before us today a tremendous group of products to discuss. Of course with Young Living’s vast breadth of products and depth of quality it seems like we never run out of opportunities to discuss products that bring remarkably effective, diverse, and very immediately noticeable health results. This topic is certainly no different as it is one of universal interest and importance; namely, the immune system and how a special blend of essential oils that we commonly call Thieves can be a tremendous support as we go forward and attempt to boost our immunity.

As many of you are aware, the immune system is the body’s defense system against all things that can harm it. If our immune system is not functioning properly this leaves us very vulnerable to many different pathogens. I don’t know about all of you out there, but every time I tune into the news I feel a little bit like that group in the Wizard of Oz that’s walking into that forest, looking around every corner and chanting ‘Lions, tigers, and bears oh my!’ because everywhere we look we have pathogens, viruses, funguses, bacteria; all these different things that are attacking our immune systems, and our immune systems need to be in top condition to handle the different pathogens that we see in our modern society.

What is the state of your personal immune system? If you were to personify the strength of your immune system what would it look like? What we need it to look like is maybe John Rambo or Chuck Norris but for most of us, unfortunately, our immune system looks a little bit more like Barney Fife!

Let’s talk a little bit about the state of affairs out there in modern society. What are those lions, tigers, and bears? I mentioned a few things, but how big a deal is it? Well we see in studies time after time that bacterial strains that are enhanced – perhaps maybe you’ve heard of black mold – these become highly potent inducers of inflammatory and cellular toxic effects. Of course many of us have heard about the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that in 2005 killed an estimated 19,000 Americans. Here we see a problem with a solution. We have modern medicine telling us that to defend ourselves from these different pathogens we take an antibiotic that of course has other repercussions, and then we end up with resistant bacteria that we have no antibiotics for and then we’re even more vulnerable to that. Now what about funguses? A lot of people don’t realize that black mold and fungus really contribute, not that they necessarily give us an infection, but they contribute to things like lung disease, asthma, skin infections, sinusitis, immune dysfunction; and of course all of us have seen the very scary situations that are developing with these methicillin-resistant staphylococcus infections, of which there really seem to be no answers for with flesh-eating bacteria. Again, you start to feel seriously like those folks chanting ‘Lions and tigers and bears oh my!’ So we know that what’s going on there might be a little frightening. We’ve talked about some of these issues that exist in regard to different things that might harm our health and the health of our loved ones; these viruses, bacteria, funguses, all these different things.

What I’m going to present to you today is a strategy that includes four different parts. As we implement different products and concepts that Young Living offers in each of these areas I believe that you’ll improve your immunity, your health, immensely. I’ve done it in my own family; we’ve had great success. I call it Four Steps to Immunity.

The first step that we want to do in helping our immune system is to reduce our exposures, and we can do that. We can do that profoundly with regard to Thieves, specifically diffusing it.

Now the second step – and we’ll talk a little bit more about each of these in depth – we can mobilize and strengthen our defenses using different essential oils and different products so we won’t exclusively talk about Thieves; there are a couple of other products that Young Living carries that can help us to mobilize and strengthen our defenses.

Then at times, as we talked about earlier, we need to have some hired guns. Our immune system by and large might not look great; our immune system might look a lot like Barney Fife. So we need to bring in some of these tougher, more impressive defense mechanisms that can come in and help us when our immune system is compromised or when we’re under attack; we need to bring in reinforcements and that’s the area that I call hired guns.

The fourth area is that we can’t always avoid every illness but we can ease the symptoms, and there are some really great strategies that can help us ease symptoms and get over things quickly once something takes root or starts to affect our health. It starts in this area of reduced exposures.

What I mean by reduced exposures, there I’m talking about how to implement this tremendous blend of Thieves essential oil which has really been used for many, many generations going back into the Bible. Not to say of course that they used the Thieves blend exactly back in the Bible but inside the Bible, in Exodus, and even in the Koran and in the Torah, they talk about the usage of essential oils. Specifically I’ll refer to a chapter in Exodus that says ‘Also take fine spices of fragrant cinnamon, half as much, even 250 of cassia, 500, and you shall use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony.’ These were the oils, these were the preparations, that people used to purify their altars, to purify their holy places and to purify their areas of worship.

Again in the medieval times there was a group of thieves who were robbing – if you can imagine the depths of depravity that would accompany people out robbing the victims of the Black Plague – this group of thieves was unaffected by the ravages of the plague because of a vinegar that they made using different essential oils and herbals, but specifically that is really what gave birth to this recipe, what gave birth to the Thieves blend of essential oils that Young Living offers. This Thieves blend can be used in many areas of the four steps to immunity, and it’s effective in several areas but we’re going to talk first about how it can help us to reduce our exposures. As the wise man said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I would say it’s worth much, much more than that.

So what is in the Thieves blend of essential oils? This is a blend of essential oils that holds Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, andRosemary. This is a tremendous blend of essential oils, a real gift from the plant kingdom because it employs oils that help us in a variety of ways. First is as antimicrobial; second as antioxidant; and thirdly is really to work with the anatomy and physiology of the body to open our airways, to wake up our minds and help us with mental fatigue and all these different things. First and foremost though, this is a tremendous purifier, a purifier of our environment, and it really starts with the great essential oil of cinnamon. There are numerous studies in regard to cinnamon about how it has antifungal, antibacterial properties. This is one of the great essential oils of all time, really. Cinnamon is so profound. Of course we know that it has other physiological mechanisms that work in our body but in regard to a purifier, it really is the tops.

If we think of antifungal, a lot of people think ‘Antifungal? Do I need to be worried about funguses?’ The answer is ‘Absolutely yes.’ Funguses and molds can severely compromise our health; in fact I was just talking about how a lot of these things have been related to lung disease, asthma, sinusitis, immune dysfunction and other problematic things. In regard to antifungal activity, Cinnamon was the best essential oil tested. It had double and triple the antifungal activity of most essential oils. Cinnamon is the top, Cassia second (as you would think from that Bible passage in Exodus), and then third is Clove. Clove is tremendous as an antifungal but Clove also has other properties; we know that it’s a tremendous antioxidant, which helps our cells to be healthy and better able to fight off unwanted invaders and our immune system is going to be strengthened that way, but just in and of itself it attacks and kills microbes that we don’t want. It has broad, broad-spectrum antimicrobials, it kills bacteria, it has been shown to kill funguses, and it has been shown to kill viruses. So if we think about lions and tigers and bears, well guess what – nature has an answer for each of those different scenarios.

One of the interesting books in recent time that talks about how we can reduce our exposures was written by a gentleman named Dr. Edward Close, who wrote about toxic mold and a breakthrough discovery in regard to toxic mold. He diffused Thieves in these areas that were affected by toxic mold and virtually erased this toxic black mold that can be really harmful. It’s not just the mold where it sits and causes problems, but it releases spores and that can really have negative impacts. A lot of times people who have constant recurring sinus infections usually have problems with fungus or mold of some sort in their homes. Diffusing Thieves is tremendous in that regard; it nullified the mold in these areas, killed it outright, and protected from it coming back again.

In another important study done in 1997 at Weber State University, Sue Chao working in conjunction with Young Living Essential Oils showed how Thieves was deadly for airborne bacteria so we’re helping our surface areas and purifying those, and we are purifying our air as we diffuse Thieves. Really the longer the better was what a lot of the research from Dr. Close showed; that you need to be intermittently be diffusing Thieves in your home and in your living spaces, in your offices as well. The great thing about Thieves is that it smells wonderful, there are not going to be people complaining about the smell of Thieves because it smells like cinnamon, cloves, lemon, eucalyptus, all these great smells that really help us to fight these things off and reduce our exposures.

Of course when we talk about reducing our exposures, the next places that we need to talk about are a couple of key battlegrounds. First and foremost, how can Thieves help us with winning the battle in regard to our hands, and how can we keep them pure and clean. Our hands are crucial in our battle for maintaining our health and avoiding these different pathogens and colds and flus. Study after study shows that if we can win the battle of our hands – and that means washing your hands frequency and often. Important to note is that when you use products that have been strengthened with this Thieves blend of essential oils you’re going to be miles ahead. Of course many of you are familiar with ourThieves Foaming Hand Soap; it’s an awesome opportunity and you need to have that foaming hand soap in every bathroom or by every sink in your house. Also it leaves a protective layer, and what we’ve seen in the studies that we’ve done is that the essential oils actually remain on the hands and can form a protective barrier. Another product that can help tremendously with that – because you can’t always stay within arm’s reach of a sink and our Thieves Foaming Hand Soap, you have to go out in the real world and there is not always a lot of stuff available to you – so for that we have developed the Thieves Hand Purifier. That’s a gel agent, they are small bottles of a gel that you can take with you wherever you go, and this has been fortified and enhanced with our Thieves blend. This again builds up a tremendous protective barrier. Not only are there things in there that kill on contact as far as killing what you might be carrying around with you but it also keeps killing, keeps preventing over time. You can’t just be constantly reapplying again and again so the Thieves is so much better than a lot of the other hand purifiers because those essential oils stick around, they’re not like an alcohol that just quickly evaporates, these essential oils actually stick around on your hands and can form a great protective barrier.

Now the other battleground where it’s so essential for us to win and keep our health is the mouth. The mouth is this exchange; oftentimes it’s the hands that go to the mouth or the other mucous membranes like the nose; those are the areas where we often encounter those pathogens and they’re brought into the body. We breathe them in; we eat food that might be contaminated; we touch our mouth with our hands; and inside our mouths is a tremendous battleground and exchange for these bacteria, viruses, and funguses and all the different things that can cause us problems. One of the great ways we can reduce our exposure is by concentrating on our mouth and making sure it’s as clean as possible. That means as far as toothpaste goes, there’s a great Thieves Dentarome Toothpaste. This toothpaste has been reinforced with the different Thieves essential oils. There’s also a Thieves Mouthwash which is amazingly strong and really powerful, and you can rinse your mouth with that. There have been all kinds of different studies showing how an essential oil mouth rinse like the Thieves is so much more effective than other mouth rinses. It keeps your mouth not just free of bacteria as we were talking about; it reduces the plaque and it does that significantly. We can really compare the efficacy in multiple studies of an antiseptic mouth rinse enhanced with essential oils, how much better that works. In fact it even works better than a lot of fluoride toothpastes that are out there. That’s important for immunity, but what’s really fascinating is how dental hygiene can help you in other areas of your health. Maybe you’ve seen the studies from the American Heart Association that talk about how good dental hygiene is correlated to preventing heart infections, so surely you’ll be helping yourself to stave off different colds and flus and different things like that by keeping your mouth clean, but you may also have other things happening that are protective for your health in regard to preventing heart infection and other things like that. What a great option for us to improve our dental hygiene, the hygiene in our mouth with a couple of things that we’ve talked about – Thieves Toothpaste, Thieves Mouthwash, and then one of the products that I love that we don’t talk about enough is Thieves Lozenges. If we have those Thieves Lozenges with us all the time then anytime we think we might be compromised a little bit, if we pop a Thieves Lozenge in our mouth, you can see that we’ll have immediate effects that will last. You can see a lot of areas where we can reduce our threats of exposure with the Thieves products from hand soap and sanitizer, lozenges, of course cleaning our environment with the Thieves Household Cleaner; we can really set ourselves up to reduce our exposures in all these critical areas, and that is going to help us tremendously with regard to avoiding problems.

The second step today is to energize and improve our natural defenses. As great a wall and fortress as we can build in regard to immunity, some stuff is going to get through. Some stuff is going to get past, down the mouth, down the hatch, it’s going to get into our sinuses and we’re going to have exposures. It just happens; there are too many things out there to take into account. When that happens, what is going on in our body? Well the immune system, that’s where it really kicks in. We’re going to assist our immune system by reducing the number of pathogens, but we can also help to boost our immunity, re-energize or energize and improve our natural defenses, and there are several products that are tremendous for that, not the least of which is NingXia Red, which is a tremendous product for boosting your immunity. In fact studies have shown, measuring macrophages and phagocytes, that it improves immunity by 81% just by drinking your daily dose of NingXia Red. Other great products that take advantage of wolfberries and other effective nutraceuticals would be ImmuPro; ImmuPro is strengthened with wolfberries and also other beta glucans that are derived from mushrooms like maitaki, and these mushrooms help to strengthen our immunity and really act to boost things.

Of course Life 5 cannot be underestimated. A good portion of the immune system in the body is really controlled and triggered by our gut, so if our gut is healthy and working properly, and Life 5 can do tremendous things in regard to that, then you are much more likely to be able to neutralize those pathogens as they come into the body. I should mention here that Life 5 has several different strains of species in it that double the immunity of our immune cells. An important double-blind study done in 2006 involving 248 children tested the effects of the super strains that we have in Life 5, the super strains of beneficial bacteria, Bifidus lactis and L. rhamnosus. The children were tested from November to May, when they were most susceptible to colds and flus, and what they saw was that they reduced the number of sick days by almost 50% and reduced the need for antibiotics by 80%. So if you have anybody who is going to school, school-age children, they need to be taking that Life 5. Anybody who is encountering the rigors of the workday, encountering other people, needs to be taking Life 5. You can see it reduced the number of sick days by 50% and the need for antibiotics by 80%; what a benefit that is, to be able to reduce the intake of antibiotics! When we start to think about the things that have made our immune systems look like Barney Fife, one of those things is the fact that so many people are taking frequent antibiotics, which has disastrous effects on our natural and innate immunity, so much so that they think that just one course of antibiotics can really damage your immune system for a prolonged period of time. So if we can avoid those things, and we can do that by taking a natural alternative with no downside like Life 5, like boosting your immunity, like doing some of the other things that we’ve talked about, how much better will our immune systems be when we encounter that next problematic event? Life 5 also works against other aggressive pathogens; one of the best things it does it helps people who have bacteria-induced diarrhea, Life 5 can really help in regard to Salmonella poisoning and protecting against some of those different things, so here you have a tremendous product that helps your immunity in a variety of ways.

Now we’ll move on to the next area – hired guns. What happens when we do get sick? What happens when boosting our immunity isn’t quite enough, what happens when there is a hot infection and different things are going on? Are there natural alternatives at that point? Yes, the answer is a resounding yes! You have to continue to take your Life 5. The other thing that is so tremendous and really is built on the back of the concept of the Thieves blend is a product called Inner Defense. I call this nature’s ultimate purifier. It is jam-packed with so many tremendous oils. This is meant to be ingested so Inner Defense is a soft gel preparation, really of Thieves but Thieves in addition to several other essential oils that really make it a product like none other on the market. Inner Defense not only has all those different things we talked about before – Clove, Cinnamon, Lemon, and Eucalyptus; all these different products that can really help to attack those pathogens and help to boost our immunity and give our immune system support as it tries to stave off these different things that are attacking it – but it also has a tremendously special blend of Oregano that contains 4 different Oregano species. Oregano is jam-packed with phenols. Of course many of the different essential oils that we have in Thieves are also jam-packed with phenols, which have tremendous ability to resist bacteria, to resist funguses, and resist all these different things. It is phenols that a lot of people will know under the name carvacrol; perhaps you’ve heard of this tremendous phytochemical that has really great ability to fight off bacteria and other things; cinnamaldehyde in Cinnamon Bark; and eugenol in Clove. Eugenol has great properties for antioxidant but it also has great properties in fighting off different things that might be affecting you. A great study that looked at penicillin versus Oregano essential oil (this was again researched at Weber State University) showed that 12 micro liters of Oregano had the antibacterial equivalent of 10 units of penicillin. So that’s pretty amazing stuff when you stop to think about how effective these different essential oils can be, and they really work and they work where you need it the most.

The other great thing that Inner Defense will bring to you is protection against different parasites; that’s maybe lions, tigers, bears and alligators out there, the alligators being the parasites. I’m telling you there are a lot of folks out there who don’t even know that they have parasites but they are compromising their health. The great thing about essential oils is they also have a lot of antiparasitic action and will help to defend in that arena as well.

So now we have these hired guns and we’ve brought these things to bear. We are feeling a lot better because even though we may be struggling a little bit with our own personal innate immunity where we might be compromised, we can bring some of these essential oils that have developed inside plants and helped to protect plants from all these things – parasites, funguses, bacteria – all these different things the essential oils have evolved to protect the plants from, we can now take those things as long as we’re using pure authentic essential oils, we can take those things into our bodies and into our environments and know that they’re going to be helping us as we battle against these things.

The last section is really to ease the symptoms, the things you can do briefly to help you get through if you may be suffering from some of the illnesses that are associated with cold season. Of course there are a lot of different essential oils that you can use in regard to that but it’s important to note that continuing to take products like Inner Defense, continuing to use Thieves and reduce your threats of exposure, continuing to do all those things will help to ease the symptoms and especially to get you through to where you can get on the other side of an illness. As much as we’d like to avoid it, we all get sick sometimes and it’s really not whether you get sick that shows how strong your immune system is, but how quickly you can get over that illness. For that we have all kinds of great products; one of my absolute favorites is Breathe Again, also linked closely with the oil blend RC. These products can help tremendously to get our lung capacity back, to improve our circulation, to keep mentally aware and functioning properly so that we don’t get bogged down in some of these symptomatic things that often accompany the cold season like coughs and sinus congestion and drainage. So you have all kinds of different opportunities there to ease your symptoms with those products, not the least of which is simply Peppermint. Researchers in Great Britain showed how profoundly Peppermint could affect our ability to take in oxygen and that L-menthol would cause a highly significant enhancement of nasal sensation of airflow. One of the most important things for you to do when you’re starting to get over a cold is to get that airflow back, to get your energy up, and that will help you get through almost anything rather quickly.

So in review I hope that we’ve given you several key strategies that can assist you in your efforts to stay well and keep your family well. It’s truly a battleground it seems sometimes with some of the seasons; not to mention allergy season. A lot of these same strategies will help you tremendously with allergies because they work in a lot of the same ways. As you start to reduce your exposure with all these different methods that we talked about – using the Thieves products, as we start to reinforce and energize our own innate immunity by using great nutritional products and Life 5, then we at times need to bring in the hired guns like Thieves, Inner Defense, and again Life 5, and then as we start to affect our health by easing our symptoms and really helping us to get over things quickly. I’ve used this protocol and this strategy in my own health and in the health of my family and for years now we have been able to avoid taking antibiotics, we’ve been able to avoid a lot of those really serious conditions that sometimes can develop into pneumonia or can develop into more serious long-term conditions. We’ve had tremendous success with these strategies. We try to keep the house in order by using these different essential oils and we try to affect our health naturally, and we’ve been able to accomplish that. We’ve been able to help a lot of other families do the same thing and it’s just brought a lot of blessings to our lives. This is a great strategy, it works, it’s proven, these are strategies that people have been using for generations and generations, way back into the Bible; they work, and they work great. I am looking forward to the stories that will come in as people start to more fully implement some of these strategies and think about some of these areas where we can really help to boost our immunity and to avoid some of these illnesses that plague our society. All the best to you in your efforts and Godspeed in your quest for health.

Sulfurzyme .....Good for Bursitis, Arthritis, Tendonitis, Hair & Nails, Rheumatism, Alzheimer's....

Sulfurzyme® - 300 Caps or Powder 8 oz
Sulfurzyme® combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue.* MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function and works to scavenge free radicals.* Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the assimilation and metabolism of sulfur.* FOS is added to this formula to support normal digestive system health.* 

Body Systems Affected: Immune and Nervous System, Muscles, Bones and Skin

Uses: Sulfurzyme® has a unique combination of Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), the protein building compound found in breast milk and Lyceum Barbarum (Ningxia Wolfberry Powder) that together create a product to revive the immune system and supports almost every body function and forestalls an array of degenerative conditions. MSM's ability to equalize water pressure inside of the cells is a considerable benefit to those that suffer from bursitis, arthritis and tendonitis. It also activates enzymes, helps the body assimilate vitamins and metabolizes carbohydrates.

Sulfurzyme® may also help with symptoms of sulfur deficiency, such as poor nail and hair growth, falling hair, eczema, dermatitis, poor muscle tone, acne, gout, rheumatism, arthritis, Multiple Sklerosis, Parkinsons, Lou Gehrigs and Alzheimers disease.

Comment: Sulfur metabolism requires proper nutrition. It takes calcium to metabolize sulfur, magnesium to metabolize calcium, potassium to metabolize magnesium, phosphorus to metabolize potassium, etc. The list goes on! That is why we added wolfberry powder to this formula it contains all the necessary components to metabolize sulfur.

How to use: Take 2 capsules two times daily or as needed one hour before or after meals, or if you use the powder, Mix 1/2 teaspoon with juice or distilled water and take twice daily, one hour before or after meals. 

Amounts per Serving:
MSM (methylsulfonymethane): 1.6 g per serving
Ningxia Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum fruit): 200 mg per serving

Ingredients: Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), frustooligosaccharides (FOS), Ningxia wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) powder and stevioside (Stevia rebaudiana) leaf.

The Chemistry of Essential Oils.....18 Doctors speak out.

by Dr. David Stewart, Ph.D.

If you tell most medical doctors that essential oils bring about healing with no negative side effects, they won’t believe you. This is because in medical school, students are repeatedly told by their professors that all effective medicines have negative side effects, and if they don’t then they can’t be effective.

When I was in medical school one professor emphasized this point in a colorful, graphic manner with specially prepared slides. In each slide specific drugs were depicted as evil looking demons or goblins. As he presented each picture, he explained, “Although ugly and capable of doing harm, these ‘demons’ are also the bearers of some good. So long as the benefits outweigh the risks, we use them,” he  summarized. “We have no choice,” he continued, “because if a drug has no dangers, then it can have no benefits. That’s just the way it is. And that’s why it is essential that only qualified physicians be allowed to prescribe medicines,” he concluded.

Actually, the professor was telling the truth. Within the  restricted practice of allopathy (MDs) the only real medicines are physician prescribed pharmaceuticals. Such medicines always do have negative side effects. All of them.  No exceptions. Hence, doctors are trained to accept the bad with the good as the price of effective medicine.

The Danger is in the Drug Itself

The dangers of prescription drugs are intrinsic to the drugs themselves, not in how they are administered. No matter how careful the physician in prescribing and how compliant the patient in following doctor’s orders, even then deaths and damages occur. In fact, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, more than 100,000 Americans die every year, not from illegal drugs, not from drug overdoses, not from over-the-counter drugs, and not from drug abuses, but from properly prescribed, properly taken prescriptions. In this country, more people die from doctor’s prescriptions every ten days than were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Why is this so? Why do allopathic drugs always have undesirable effects (along with their apparent benefits) while one can find healing with natural products, such as essential oils, with no undesirable effects? Here is why.

Why Companies Deliberately Sell Dangerous Products

It is illegal to patent any natural product. The way to big profits in the medicine industry is to create an unnatural substance that never before existed in nature, then patent it, and obtain a monopoly. Hence, the molecules of pharmaceutical drugs are all strange to the human body. In all the history of humankind, such molecules were never encountered or taken into any human body. Hence, the body does not easily metabolize them. God never made your body to accept and deal with these chemicals and antibiotics.

Non-toxic natural organic substances are usually easily eliminated by the body when their usefulness has run their course. Up to a point, your body can even deal with and eliminate natural toxic substances. But when your body receives a synthetic substance, even one that may seem benign or inert (like plastic), your body does not know how to metabolize and eliminate it. If sent to the liver to break it down into disposable compounds, the liver says, “Hey. What is this? I don’t know what to do with it. Here kidneys, you take it.” Then the kidneys react saying, “Hey liver, don’t send it to us. We don’t know what it is either. Send it to the pancreas. Maybe it will have an enzyme that can deal with it.” Then the pancreas objects, “Hey guys, what do you think you are doing? I don’t want this stuff. Dump it in the blood or the lymph or try the spleen. Maybe the spleen can filter this thing out or something.” Finally, the substance ends up in the long term waste holding area of the body (usually fat tissue, including the brain) where it can remain for years and even for a lifetime, perturbing normal body functions as long as it remains. That’s why you can find traces of prescription drugs in your body taken in childhood, decades ago.

On the other hand, natural molecules, such as those found in essential oils, are easily metabolized by the body. In fact, your body was created to handle them. When an essential oil molecule finds the receptor sites it was designed to fit and conveys its information to the cell, or participates in other therapeutic functions, it then goes on its way to the liver and the kidneys and moves out of the body. Its benefits have been conveyed and its job is complete.

By contrast, the unnatural molecules of man-made drugs attach themselves to various tissues, disrupting normal function for years while the body tries to figure out what to do with them. Meanwhile, they wreak mischief with our bodily functions and even our minds.

Who is in Control?

Another reason commercial drug companies don’t want to sell natural products is that they are not in complete control of their production. When you synthesize everything in a laboratory, you are in control. You can produce your medicines at will, in any quantity, whenever you choose. This way you can meet market demands as they materialize.

When you depend on nature to grow your product, God is in control. You are at the mercy of the seasons. You can only grow so much with a given year’s crop. If a year’s supply runs out before the next crop is ready for harvest, then you and your customers just have to wait. Meanwhile, you lose potential sales and profits.

Drug companies want to be totally in charge of producing their products. They don’t want God to be in charge. By omitting God from the manufacture of their medicines, they have omitted his healing power.

Drugs versus Oils 

Drugs and oils work in opposite ways. Drugs toxify. Oils detoxify. Drugs clog and confuse receptor sites. Oils clean receptor sites.

Drugs depress the immune system. Oils strengthen the immune system. Antibiotics attack bacteria indiscriminately, killing both the good and the bad. Oils attack only the harmful bacteria, allowing our body’s friendly flora to flourish.

Drugs are one-dimensional, programmed like robots to carry out certain actions in the body, whether the body can benefit from them or not. When body conditions change, drugs keep on doing what they were doing, even when their actions are no longer beneficial.

Essential oils are multi-dimensional, filled with homeostatic intelligence to restore the body to a state of healthy balance. When body conditions change, oils adapt, raising or lowering blood pressure as needed, stimulating or repressing enzyme activity as needed, energizing or relaxing as needed. Oils are smart. Drugs are dumb.

Drugs are designed to send misinformation to cells or block certain receptor sites in order to trick the body into giving up symptoms. But drugs never deal with the actual causes of disease. They aren’t designed for that purpose. While they may give prompt relief for certain uncomfortable symptoms, because of their strange, unnatural design, they will always disrupt certain other bodily functions. Thus, you always have some side effects.

Oil molecules send information to cells and cleanse receptor sites so that they bring your body back to natural function. Oils are balancing to the body. Drugs are unbalancing to the body. Oils address the causes of disease at a cellular level by deleting misinformation and reprogramming correct information so that cells function properly and in harmony with one another. With drugs, misinformation is fed into the cells so that some temporary relief may be obtained, but there is never any true healing. Drugs only trade one kind of disease for another.

Because essential oils properly applied always work toward the restoration of proper bodily function, they do not cause undesirable side effects. They are feeding the body with truth. Drugs feed the body with lies. While no amount of truth can contradict itself, it doesn’t take many lies before contradictions occur and the body suffers ill effects.

Eighteen Doctors Speak Out

Not all physicians are caught up in the idea that the only good medicines are ones that can also be harmful. Here are some comments by physicians, themselves, on the practice of medicine.

“Every educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by medicine.”
Richard C. Cabot, M.D. Professor Harvard School of Medicine; Author of Differential Diagnosis, The Art of Ministering to the Sick, and other books.

“The cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give in order to effect a cure.”
Charles E. Page, M.D.

“Medicines are of subordinate importance because of their very nature, they can only work symptomatically.”
Hans Kusche, M.D.

“The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.”
William Osler, M.D.

“If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity”
O.W. Holmes, M.D. American Poet, Professor of Medicine, Dartmouth College and Harvard University

“Drug medications consist in employing, as remedies for disease, those things which produce disease in well persons. Its materia medica is simply a lot of drugs or chemicals or dye-stuffs—in a word poisons. All are incompatible with vital matter; all produce disease when brought in contact in any manner with the living; all are poisons.”
R.T. Trail, M.D. Author of The True Healing Art and other books. Quote from a lecture to members of Congress and the medical profession, Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C.

 ”Every drug increases and complicates the patients condition.”
Robert Henderson, M.D.

“The greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the suppression of acute disease by drug poisoning.”
Henry Lindlahr, M.D. Author of Diagnostic Methods, Nature Cure: Philosophy and Practice, Natural Therapeutics, and other books.

“Medicine is only palliative, for back of disease lies the cause, and this cause no drug can reach.”
Wier Mitchel, M.D. 

“Medical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to recommend it. In sickness the body is already loaded with impurities. By taking drug – medicines more impurities are added, thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure.”
Elmer Lee, M.D. Past Vice President, Academy of Medicine.

“Our figures show approximately four and one half million hospital admissions annually due to the adverse reactions to drugs. Further, the average hospital patient has as much as thirty percent chance, depending how long he is in, of doubling his stay due to adverse drug reactions.”
Milton Silverman, M.D. Professor of Pharmacology, University of California. Author, The Drugging of America, Prescription for Death, and other books.

“What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science when the entire structure of medical knowledge is built around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be expelled when the right drug is found?”
John H. Tilden, M.D. Author of Impaired Health, Etiology, Hygiemic, and Dietetic Treatment of Appendicitis, and other books and articles.

“We are prone to thinking of drug abuse in terms of the male population and illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. It may surprise you to learn that a greater problem exists with millions of women dependent on legal prescription drugs.”
Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. Chairman, Illinois State Medical Licensing Board, Author of Confessions of a Medical Heretic, How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, and other books.

“Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well man sick.”
L.F. Kebler, M.D. Author of Technical Drug Studies, Medicated Soft Drinks, and other works.

“Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.”
Daniel. H. Kress, M.D. Author of The Cost to Society of Cigarettes: A Century of Analysis, Ulcers and Smoking, and other books.

“There are over 10 million adverse reactions yearly from FDA-approved over-the-counter and prescription drugs. We are not talking about mild nausea or headaches. Between 60,000 and 140,000 people die each year from adverse drug reactions. Each year, more Americans die after taking prescription drugs than died in the entire Vietnam war. Over half the drugs approved by the FDA since 1976 were later found to be much more toxic than previously thought. Several had to be removed from the market.”
Julian Whitaker, M.D. Author of Reversing Heart Disease, Guide to Natural Healing, The Heart Surgery Trap, and other books.

“There are significant efforts by insurance companies to exclude preventive health care and education and the use of natural, inexpensive remedies, while ignoring the benefits of nutrition. At the same time they pay huge medical claims to hospitals for surgery and pharmaceutical products. There is an unwritten agreement between hospitals and insurance providers to reimburse the hospitals for services performed in hospitals – to scratch each other’s back – so to speak. There is a hidden agenda in this. If insurance providers pay hospitals for patients’ medical claims, then at the end of the year the insurance companies can go to the state insurance commissions with their track records and request a premium increase. A premium increase translates into more profit for the insurance carriers as well as the hospitals.”
Terry S. Friedmann, M.D. Author of Freedom Through Health and other publications. Co-founder and Board Member, American Holistic Medical Association.

“The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines, is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned.”
Charles Armbruster, M.D. 

So there you have it, why oils heal and drugs don’t. Let’s hope Dr. Armbruster is right, that “the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned.” Pharmaceutical companies and their physician drug dealers could market and sell natural products with genuine healing capabilities, but most won’t. There isn’t any money in it.

Emergency Medicine is the Best of Medicine

In Dr. Robert Mendelsohn’s book, Confessions of a Medical Heretic, he describes medicine as a practice of religion rather than a practice of science. Doctors practice what they believe, not what they can substantiate by valid science. According to Mendelsohn, in the religion of medicine, physicians are the high priests and their ecclesiastical robes are their white coats. Hospitals are the temples where many holy waters are dispensed in the form of drugs, antibiotics, and vaccines. People tithe to the church of medicine by dutifully paying their insurance premiums. The word “prescription” is very close to the term “prescriptural,” thus implying a scriptural basis for their use. The Holy Bible containing the scriptures of medicine is thePharmaceutical PDR. For millions of people, their faith and confidence in the religion of medicine is far greater than their belief in the institutions of worship they may attend. In a crisis, they would sooner call 911 than call upon God in prayer.

Dr. Mendelsohn was a practicing pediatrician at the Michael Reese Medical Center in Chicago, a professor at the University of Illinois School of Medicine, Chairman of the Illinois State Licensing Board, and appeared on national television many times. He is author of another book entitled, How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, where he states, “When it comes to treating a sick child, one grandmother is worth two pediatricians.” He also often said, “If you always assume your doctor is wrong, most of the time you will be right.” In Dr. Mendelsohn’s opinion, “The best of medicine is emergency medicine.” I agree. When it comes to chronic disease, they have little or nothing to offer – no cures, only treatments and disease management.

I don’t want to imply that there is no use for medical care as we have it today. If I were in a serious accident with a massive head injury, damage to my internal organs, or a broken limb, I would want to go to the nearest emergency room as fast as possible with the best physicians and nurses on staff. Allopathic medicine is wonderful in a crisis and saves many lives. Emergency medicine is what they do best. In a traumatic situation where you could die unless immediate action is taken, allopathy with all of its drugs, surgeries, equipment, and other paraphernalia can be just what you need to get through the crisis.

But as for healing, allopathic medicine doesn’t offer much. After you have been rescued by allopathic measures from imminent death in an emergency situation, the healing is still up to you by seeking other modalities. And when it comes to chronic illness like cancer, arthritis, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease, allopathy has no cures and usually makes matters worse.

One reason medical practitioners do best in a crisis is because that is the emphasis in their training. In fact, in America, 85% of medical expenditures are for crisis applications – responding to accidents, acute life-threatening conditions, or patching up the body when seriously advanced disease has occurred and death may be imminent. Meanwhile, less than 6% of health care expenditures are for prevention and wellness education.

True healing can only take place with the participation of the patient on all levels – mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical. The idea of “leaving it to the doctor” leads to unending sickness and poor health. Health care and health maintenance is something you do for yourself, with the help of God. Not something for which you pay your money and continue to do as you please without altering your lifestyle.

Health care is your responsibility – not the government’s, not the insurance company’s, not the health care system’s, and not the doctor’s.

Can the Present Health Care System Change?

In my opinion, changing the medical system toward natural and spiritual forms of healing that encourage more individual responsibility is impossible. The system can’t change. It won’t change. It must be replaced. There was a time for horses and buggies, but when automobiles came along people gave up their former ways of transportation. There is also a time to repair your car and keep it, and a time to discard it for a new one. The medical profession is a sophisticated machine, but it rests on a fallacious foundation. Its philosophical basis is like a Model-T Ford stuck in the mud that can’t move and won’t change.

There is a time to repair the old car and a time to replace it. The current medical system is an old car, beyond repair, parked on a false foundation. It survives, not because it serves the good of humanity, but because it has become politically entrenched in our society. The time has come to remove its legal franchise and replace it by allowing alternative modalities to flourish free of the shackles placed upon them by allopathy’s monopolistic intent.

Terry Friedmann, MD, in his book, Freedom Through Health, envisions a new holistic system to replace the current one that emphasizes personal responsibility and fosters cooperative relationships among many modalities with allopathy playing only a minor role. Dr. Friedmann’s new health care model would include nutrition, exercise, stress management, and aromatherapy, to address the whole person – mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In their books, Robert Mendelsohn, MD, and Richard Gerber, MD, also foresee a new holistic medical paradigm – one not dependent on allopathic drugs and procedures as its primary focus.

The time has come to move on to paradigms and modalities based on different premises than those that underlie modern allopathy. Those of you who have opted out of the system in favor of essential oils and their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits are among the pioneers who are replacing the system.

As for those of you who have taken over-the-counter or prescription drugs over long periods of time, essential oils are your best friend because they can cleanse the residues of these toxins from your system once and for all and help restore your body back to its natural healthy state.

Oils That Are Good For Treating "Psoriasis"

Treating Psoriasis with PH Balance

Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dry skin, allergies and similar problems indicate an excessive acidic pH in the body.  The more acid in the blood and skin, the less therapeutic effect the oils will have.  People who have a negative reaction to oils are usually high acidically and need to get a better balance on their pH level.  When a body is Alkaline, no disease can survive in the human body, but when it is on the acidic side, a door is open for disease to set in.  An alkaline balance must be maintained in the blood and skin for the oils to work the best. 
Young Living AlkaLime is helpful for balancing pH levels.  

The most common type of psoriasis is called plaque psoriasis.  It causes a thick, patchy, red rash with silvery, white scales.  It can appear anywhere but most often occurs on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.  The condition is not contagious, and is fairly common, affecting 2-3% of Americans.  Psoriasis is more common in adults than in children. 

Psoriasis can cover up to 90% of the body.  The overly rapid growth of skin cells is the primary cause of the lesions associated with psoriasis.  In some cases, skin cells grow four times faster than normal, resulting in formation of silvery layers that flake off.

Symptoms of Psoriasis
* Occurs on elbows, chest, knees and scalp
* Slightly elevated reddish lesions covered with silver-white scales
* The disease can be limited to one small patch or can cover the entire body
* Rashes subside after exposure to sunlight
* Rashes occur over a period of years


Use a blend of Young Living Essential Oils to aide in the healing of Psoriasis.   Recommended oils are a blend of:
2 drops of Patchouly
2 drops of Roman Chamomile
2 drops of Lavender
2 drops of Melrose

ENDOFLEX ESSENTIAL OIL - An Oil that Helps with the Endocrine System of the Human Body

Endoflex was designed specifically for to bring balance to the endocrine system.  The body's hormones, and the glands that produce them, make up the endocrine system. There are eight major glands, and their job is to regulate the body's metabolism, reproduction, growth and sleep.
Like the nervous system, the endocrine system is an information signal system. But rather than using neurons, it uses chemical messengers called hormones, each of which has its own unique function.
Stress kicks the endocrine system into high gear, causing it to secrete various hormones at highter than normal levels in order to help the body mobilize more energy and adapt to new circumstances.
For example, stress can cause the pituitary-adrenal axis to start releasing adrenaline to increase the volume of blood pumped out by the heart and the blood flowing to the skeletal muscles.  During acute physical stress, the pituitary gland may also ramp up the secretion of the growth hormone, which enhances metabolic activity.

Alcohol has widespread effects on the endocrine system.  It can impair the regulation of blood-sugar levels by interfering with certain hormones, reduce testosterone levels in men by damaging the testes, and increase the risk of osteoporosis by messing with a calcium-regulating hormone called parathyroid hormone, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
It is important for the Endocrine System to function properly because this system releases their hormones directly into the bloodstream.
From the blood stream, the hormones communicate with the body by heading towards their target cell to bring about a particular change or effect to that cell. The hormone can also create changes in the cells of surrounding tissues (paracrine effect). The endocrine system works with the nervous system and the immune system to help the body cope with different events and stresses.

Diabetes — a disease in which the pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels — is the most common endocrine disorder in the U.S., affecting about 8 percent of the population, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (c. 460-377 B.C.), the "Father of Medicine," was the first physician known to diagnose diabetes mellitus, according to a 2000 article in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

The eight hormone-secreting glands of the endocrine system are the adrenal gland, hypothalamus, pancreas, parathyroid gland, pineal gland, pituitary gland, reproductive glands (ovaries and testes) and thyroid gland.

The term "hormone" is only about a century old.  The new term sparked intense research on the endocrine system in the first half of the 20th century, and scientists fervently worked to identify and understand the various hormones in the body.

Osteoporosis is often thought of as strictly a bone disorder,  but it often falls under the treatment of endocrinologists because of its underlying causes. In particular, postmenopausal women sometimes develop the disease because of their low levels of the hormone estrogen, which helps to maintain bone mass. In such cases, osteoporosis may be treated with hormone replacement therapy.

The condition can also arise as a result of other endocrine disorders, such as hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). People with such conditions are considered to have "secondary osteoporosis."

Functions of the Endocrine System
Some of the roles of the endocrine system include:
Growth
Repair
Sexual reproduction
Digestion
Homeostasis (constant internal balance).

How Hormones Work
A hormone will only act on a part of the body if it ‘fits’. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site (such as an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls. If the hormone fits the cell wall, then it will work.

The hormones can set off a cascade of other signaling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect (for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose into muscle cells) or a more delayed effect (glucocorticoids bind to DNA elements in a cell to switch on the production of certain proteins, which takes a while to produce).

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ‘feedback loops’. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release. The pituitary gland is well known for its feedback loops.

Endocrine Glands and Organs
The main glands and organs of the endocrine system include:
Pituitary gland – is inside the brain. It oversees the other glands and keeps hormone levels in check. It can bring about a change in hormone production somewhere else in the system by releasing its own ‘stimulating’ hormones. The pituitary gland is also connected to the nervous system through part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hormones released by the pituitary gland are gonadotropins (LH and FSH), growth hormone (GH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin, antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.

Thyroid gland – sits in the neck at the front of the windpipe. It releases thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) which is required for metabolism and body homeostasis. It is controlled by TSH which is produced by the pituitary gland through a feed-back loop.

Parathyroid gland – there are usually four parathyroid glands which lie alongside the thyroid gland. The parathyroid gland is involved in calcium, phosphate and vitamin D regulation.

Adrenal glands – there are two adrenal glands which sit on top of each kidney. They make a number of different hormones. The outside part of the gland (adrenal cortex) makes cortisol, aldosterone and sex hormones. The centre of the adrenal gland (adrenal medulla) makes adrenaline. Adrenaline is an example of a hormone that is under the control of the nervous system.

Pancreas – an organ of digestion which is inside the abdomen. It makes insulin, which controls the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. It also makes other hormones such as glucagon and somatostatin.

Ovaries – are inside the female pelvis. They make female sex hormones like oestrogen.
Testes – they hang in the male scrotal sack. They make male sex hormones like testosterone.

Other lesser known endocrine organs include:
Adipose tissue (fat tissue) – is recognised to be metabolically important. It releases hormones such as leptin, which affect appetite, and is also a site of oestrogen production. Insulin also acts on adipose tissue.
Kidneys – produce erythropoietin (EPO) which stimulates red blood cell production, produce renin which is needed for blood pressure regulation and produce the active form of Vitamin D (1–25 dihydroxy vitamin D3)
Gut – an increasing number of hormones in the gut are being researched and being understood to effect metabolism and appetite. Included are glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP–1), ghrelin which stimulates appetite, and somatostatin.

Problems of the Endocrine System
Numerous problems can occur in the endocrine system. These can be considered as excessive or deficient hormone production. Endocrine organs are also prone to tumours (adenomas) which can over produce hormones.

Some problems of the endocrine system include:
Diabetes – too much sugar in the blood caused by problems with insulin production. This includes type 1 diabetes (deficiency of insulin) and type 2 diabetes (initially excessive, then deficiency, of insulin).

Menstruation abnormalities – irregular menstruation or lack of menstruation. Some causes of this include polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), pituitary adenoma or primary ovarian failure (POF).

Thyroid problems – when the gland is overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). Thyroid nodules are common but thyroid cancers are rare.

Parathyroid problems – an enlargement or one of more of the parathyroid glands can lead to high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia).

Pituitary adenomas – these are tumours of the pituitary gland that can make too much of a certain hormone or cause deficiencies of hormones. These tumours can be small (microadenomas) or large (macroadenomas).

Neuro-endocrine tumours – these are rare to tumours of certain endocrine glands (usually the adrenal gland, pancreas or small bowel). These can include too much adrenaline released by the adrenal gland (pheochromocytoma), or too much hormone 5–HIAA from a carcinoid tumour which causes diarrhoea and flushing.

EndoFlex Essential Oil - Balance and Support For Your Endocrine System!

Endoflex Essential Oil helps to bring hormonal balance to the body and may help to alleviate hot flashes, ease cramps and provide relief for PMS.
Balancing hormones depends on so many factors. So you may have to experiment with several oil blends to see what works best for you. As a rule of thumb, Dragon Time has been most successful for women up to 30 years old. For women between 30-45, Mister has worked best and for women over 45, EndoFlex essential oil is a good choice.
For men, EndoFlex, Dragon Time and Mister Essential Oils are all natural prostate remedies. They all help decongest and balance the hormones. But since everyone’s body chemistry is different, one may work better than the other; or a combination of several may help.

EndoFlex Essential Oil

What is in EndoFlex Essential Oil Blend? There are six different therapeutic grade essential oils in EndoFlex. They are listed below along with a brief description of each oil.

• Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium graveolens) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-depressant, and sedative properties. Its aroma lifts the spirit and releases toxins in the liver.

• Spearmint Essential Oil (Mentha spicata) has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, insecticidal hormone like and stimulant properties. It helps to burn fats and toxins in the body.

• Sage Essential Oil (Salvia officinalis) has anti-bacterial, anti-spasmodic and decongestant properties. It may help estrogen and progesterone-testosterone balance.

• Myrtle Essential Oil (Myrtus communis) has antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious properties. It is a decongestant and excellent for the respiratory and the immune system.
