Testimonials Sulfurzyme is great for deteriorating disks but so is Regenelone! I have arthritis up and down my entire spine and rib cage and had deteriorating disks in my low back that got so bad I could not bend down. If I accidentally did, I had to push myself up ever so slowly and would walk bent over for a while afterwards. Couldn't sit for more than a few minutes at a time - couldn't stand long either -- and I'm not 90! Regenelone relieved the pain and restored movement in less than 10 days! I had already been using the sulfur. I'm absolutely astounded. I have my husband apply it every morning along my entire spine and rib cage. The interesting thing was, I started using Regenelone on my low back only (I used a little Birch on the area first). It got so much better, I was surprised when, after squatting down to get something (I haven't been able to do this in years), I experienced pain getting up. Then I realized the pain was coming from the upper spine and ribs - which were not receiving any Regenelone yet. My low back was completely free of pain and very flexible while squatting and rising. The pain in the upper spine and ribs had always been very secondary to me compared to my low back -- I never paid attention to it, just lived with it, even though I had not been able to lay flat on my back for years. Now that the low back pain was gone, I noticed it and began applying Regenelone. What a difference it’s made. It's also helping my knees. I use a little Birch, then lemongrass, then Regenelone. This is taking longer, but I am seeing results like being able to walk down stairs and no more knee pain during the night. --R. James ***Birch oil is no longer available through Young Living, but Wintergreen is a good replacement. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . September, 2013 Regenelone is the ointment that Gary Young made for himself when he popped a disk in his lower back. It works, I use it on my back and also valor and walking backwards, My son uses it on his knees. He had several injuries playing football and baseball. I have a friend that uses it on his back, a lifting injury- It is wonderful, and if used long enough gets rid of the problem completely. Blessings --Nel Jensen My husband had a rash which really bothered him and didn’t seem to respond to any of the “rash” oils. After just 2 applications of Regenolone lotion, the rash cleared up and went away. --Elaine P. About 9 days ago, my back went out as I have herniated disks. I crawled around for the next 2 days on a cane. Then I applied 3-4 drops Valor followed by Regenolone cream. In a little while, there was much less pressure and pain. I knew I had to get back to walking as this helps strengthen my back. I continued to apply about 3 times a day. Now I apply once a day or when I have pain in my back which gives almost instant relief. I am now about to walk for an hour or so each day. Thanks Gary Young and Young Living Essential Oils. --David B.

DAY ONE On February 9, 2013 I (Don Eagleston) was bitten at least three times by a spider while moving some pieces of house siding. When in a hurry, we do not often slow down and take precautionary measures. Normally, objects are checked for spiders before moving them. However, this time, I just gathered the pieces, picked them up and proceeded to carry them to a storage area. While carrying the siding, I could tell that I had been bitten twice. The bites felt like a hypodermic needle puncture. When the symptoms were described to a physician, he felt the bite was from a Black Widow spider, which can be fatal. Upon returning to the house, I examined my arm and could see three distinct and separate bites about one inch from the wrist area on the left forearm. Each bite mark was approximately 1/4 inch in diameter, white in color and whelped up about 1/16 of an inch. Young Living’s Purification essential oil blend was applied within minutes to the bitten area and applied about every 30-60 minutes for several hours and multiple times during the next day. The bite area started turning red and swelling of the forearm was noticeable. This reddening and swelling of the arm continued progressing until the entire forearm from the elbow, to and including the hand, was very swollen and red. During the 1st and 2nd day, Purification was applied numerous times along with taking 2-3 ounces of NingXia Red daily. I did not feel sick but felt very sluggish for the first 36 hours. DAY TWO Toward the end of the 2nd day, itching similar to a poison ivy reaction began developing. Young Living Peppermint essential oil was used to calm down the itching. Then a raised area from the wrist and extending about 5-6 inches toward the elbow and 1/4 inch in thickness began developing on the top of the forearm. At first the raised area was localized around the three bite marks and then started progressing up the arm toward the elbow. At this point I was beginning to wonder if I was smart enough to properly care for the wound and my father was becoming very vocal that I needed to seek medical . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . assistance for fear of losing my arm. By this time the swelling of the forearm was so pronounced that no blood veins could be seen. The hand joints and veins could also no longer be seen. DAY THREE By now, the hand looked like it belonged to the Pillsbury Dough Boy or like it was formed from a marshmallow with the skin of the hand and forearm feeling very tight. All during the 3rd day, we would watch the progress of the effects from the poison and I was beginning to think Daddy might be correct. On the night of the 3rd day, I noticed the progress of all the symptoms had halted. So, I decided to wait another day and keep trying Purification and Peppermint. It wasn’t until the healing process was approximately 2/3 completed that I thought, why did I not take pictures and why did I not do a daily log of exact details. The only excuse offered is that I was so busy fighting for my life and my arm that I did not even consider documentation of events. Therefore the exact days from this point are approximate in nature. DAYS FOUR TO SIX On the 4th day, the arm seemed to stabilize and a black crusty scab began forming on the raised plateau of the forearm and my energy level was noticeably better. Peppermint was used to manage the itching. The arm seemed to stabilize until the 6th day. At that point the entire large black crusty scab sloughed off during the morning shower. At this point, what was once a scab became an area with profuse body fluids with intense itching. Peppermint no longer controlled the itching for more than an hour at a time. I discovered that by applying Young Living Thieves essential oil blend to the forearm, the itching was controlled for around 4 hours. Thieves also served the role of helping prevent infection of what was now a large open wound with no apparent skin. During this time one of the local pastors was enlisted in anointing the arm and praying specifically for the arm to heal without any scars. DAYS EIGHT TO FOURTEEN About the 8th day, it appeared that Thieves was serving as a drying agent to the open wound area. The flow of body fluids began to diminish slowly over time and 90% of the wound area sealed over by approximately the 14th day. Over the following week, the body fluids stopped flowing and the crusty seal began to show signs of small skin patches forming. That is when the ScarB-Gone recipe was applied on an "as needed basis" until the skin on the arm was renewed. (The formula for Scar-BGone is given in the next article of this newsletter) During the new skin formation phase numerous pockets of yellow pus began forming at random places along the affected area. The first two pockets were not treated and grew to considerable size before erupting and healing. Young Living Lemon essential oil was applied as soon as additional pockets were detected. This resulted in the head forming much sooner and with much smaller size. The healing of the pocket area was accelerated too. Young Living Life 5 and ImmuPro were also taken daily to help strengthen the immune system. Today, only a few weeks later, the skin is normal, soft, pliable and feels completely recovered. Some areas of small discoloration are present where toxins were eliminating. I thank God for my healing and for His oils through which my healing was facilitated. EDITOR'S NOTE Don Eagleston lives in a small town in the southwest corner of Missouri. He has achieved the rank of Executive in Young Living and is moving on to Silver. My wife and I (David and Lee Stewart) visited with Don during a seminar near St. Louis, Missouri, in mid-April of this year, two months after his encounter with the Black Widow. His arm was completly healed. It looked perfectly normal, except for a slight, virtually unnoticeable change in skin coloration. It was incredible to see his arm in April, when only two months earlier his whole inner forearm had been covered with a black scab (gangrene or necrosis from the spider bite) which had sloughed off, and healed so perfectly from the application of essential oils. There was no scarring or visible evidence that his arm had been bitten by a deadly spider followed by gross swelling and incrustation with dead and dying tissue only weeks before. It was another "Essential Oil Miracle." <><><> "Scar-B-Gone" Essential Oil Recipe as Formulated by D. Gary Young. Scar-B-Gone Recipe (mix in the order given) 10 drops helichrysum 6 drops lavender 8 drops lemongrass 4 drops patchouli 5 myrrh 1 ounce V-6 This formula is credited to D. Gary Young and was made available to the public by Nancy Sanderson from Wyoming, Gary's Sister. Regarding the individual oils comprising the Scar-BeGone formula, Myrrh has been used to heal scar tissue (including abdominal stretch marks after giving birth) since Biblical Times and before. Lavender oil has been known to heal gangrene, as it did in the case of Rene Gattefosse, PhD, the chemist who rediscovered the healing properties of essential oils in the early 20th century and who coined the term, "Aromatherapy." Lavender oil healed Dr. Gattefosse's rapidly developing gas gangrene resulting from a severe burn by an accident in his laboratory. Gangrene is dead, or nearly dead, tissue that turns black and crusty from lack of circulation caused by a wound or burn. "Gas gangrene" is gangrene that has become infected with bacteria. Application of Lavender oil has also been reported to save a leg when doctors were about to amputate due to gangrene. The progressive decay of live tissues from gangrene generates strong toxins that can cause death to the individual if the toxins begin to circulate through the rest of the body. That is why doctors almost always . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 September, 2013 prescribe amputation for a gangrenous limb. Application of Lavender oil is a better alternative and leaves the patient intact. Scar-Be-Gone, which contains Lavender Oil, is an even stronger, more effective blend than any of its constituent oils alone. Doctors Change Tune Editorial Note: More and more doctors are changing their tune about the true cause of heart disease. Here’s another one…………. Dr. Dwight Lundell is the past Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery at Banner Heart Hospital, Mesa, AZ. His private practice, Cardiac Care Center was in Mesa, AZ. Recently Dr. Lundell left surgery to focus on the nutritional treatment of heart disease. He is the founder of Healthy Humans Foundation that promotes human health with focus on helping large corporations promote wellness. He is also the author of The Cure for Heat Disease and The Great Cholesterol Lie. Here is what he has to say…… We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong.. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries,today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact. I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labelled “opinion makers”. Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heat disease resuslted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol. The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter, of course, insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from 4 these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice. It is Not Working! These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated. The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of morality, human suffering and dire economic consequences. Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact that we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes. These disorders are affecting younger and younger people in greater numbers every year. Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is the inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped. Inflammation is not complicated—it is quite simply your body’s natural defense to a foreign invader such as bacteria, toxins or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process, a condition occurs called chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial. What thoughtful person would willfully expose himself repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to cause injury to the body? Well, smokers perhaps, but at least they made that choice willfully. The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine. What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour, and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods. Take a moment to visualize rubbing a stiff brush repeatedly over soft skin until it becomes quite red and nearly bleeding. You kept this up several times a day, every day for five years. If you could tolerate this painful brushing, you would have a bleeding, swollen infected area that became worse with each repeated injury. This is a good way to visualize the inflammatory process that could be going on in your body right now. Regardless of where the inflammatory process occurs, externally or internally, it is the same. I have peered inside thousands upon thousands of arteries. A diseased artery looks as if someone took a brush and scrubbed repeatedly against its wall. Several times a day, every day, the foods we eat create small injuries compounding into more injuries, causing the body to respond continuously and appropriately with inflammation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . While we savor the tantalizing taste of a sweet roll, our bodies respond alarmingly as if a foreign invader arrived declaring war. Foods loaded with sugars and simple carbohydrates, or processed with omega-6 oils for long shelf life have been the mainstay of the American diet for 6 decades. These foods have been slowly poisoning everyone. How does eating a simple sweet roll create a cascade of inflammation to make you sick? Imagine spilling syrup on your keyboard and you have a visual of what occurs inside the cell. When we consume simple carbohydrates such as sugar, blood sugar rises rapidly. In response, your pancreas secretes insulin whose primary purpose is to drive sugar into each cell where it is stored for energy. If the cell is full and does not need glucose, it is rejected to avoid extra sugar gumming up the works. When your full cells reject the extra glucose, blood sugar rises producing more insulin and the glucose converts to stored fat. What does all this have to do with inflammation? Blood sugar is controlled in a very narrow range. Extra sugar molecules attach to a variety of proteins that in turn injure the blood vessel wall. This repeated injury to the blood vessel wall sets off inflammation. When you spike your blood sugar level several times a day, every day, it is exactly like taking sandpaper to the inside of our delicate blood vessels. While you may not be able to see it, rest assured it is there. I saw it in over 5,000 surgical patients spanning 25 years who all shared one common denominator – inflammation in their arteries. Let’s go back to the sweet roll. That innocent looking goody not only contains sugar, it is baked in one of many omega-6 oils such as soybean. Chips and fries are soaked in soybean oil; processed foods are manufactured with omega-6 oils for longer shelf life. While omega-6’s are essential – they are part of every cell membrane controlling what goes in and out of the cell – they must be in the correct balance with omega-3s. If the balance shifts by consuming excessive omega-6, the cell membrane produces chemicals called cytokines that directly cause inflammation. Today’s mainstream American diet has produced an extreme imbalance of these two fats. The r atio ofimbalance ranges from 15:1 to as high as 30:1 in favor of omega-6. That’s a tremendous amount of cytokines causing inflammation. In today’s food environment, a 3:1 ratio would be optimal and healthy. To make matters worse, the excess weight you are carrying from eating these foods creates overloaded fat cells that pour out large quantities of proinflammatory chemicals that add to the injury caused by having high blood sugar. The process that began with a sweet roll turns into a vicious cycle over time that creates heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and finally, Alzheimer’s disease, as the inflammatory process continues unabated. There is no escaping the fact that the more we consume prepared and processed foods, the more we trip the inflammation switch little by little each day. The human body cannot process, nor was it designed to consume foods packed with sugars and soaked in omega-6 oils. There is but one answer to quieting inflammation, and that is returning to foods closer to their natural state. To build muscle, eat more protein. Choose carbohydrates that are very complex such as colorful fruits and vegetables, cut down on or eliminate inflammationcausing omega-6 fats like corn and soybean oil and the foods that are made from them. One tablespoon of corn oil contains 7,280 mg of omega-6; soybean contains 6,940 mg. Instead, use olive or butter from grass-fed beef. Animal fats contain less than 20% omega-6 and are much less likely cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labeled polyunsaturated. Forget the “science” that has been drummed into your head for decades. The science that saturated fat alone causes heart disease is non-existent. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also very weak. Since we now know that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, the concern about saturated fat is even more absurd today. The cholesterol theory led to the no-fat, low-fat recommendations that in turn created the very foods now causing an epidemic of inflammation. Mainstream medicine made a terrible mistake when it advised people to a void suturated fat in favor of foods high in omega-6 fats. We now have an epidemic of arterial inflammation leading to heart disease and other silent killers. What you do is choose whole foods your grandmother served and not those your mom turned to as grocery store aisles filled with manufactured foods. By eliminating inflammatory foods and adding essential nutrients from fresh unprocessed food, you will reverse years of damage to your arteries and through your body from consuming the typical American diet. http://preventdisease.com/news/12/030112 _World-Renown-Heart-Surgeon-SpeaksOut-On-What-Really-Causes-HeartDisease.shtml Limonene & Cancer One phytochemical of particular importance in cancer prevention is d-limonene (also known as limonene). Limonene is a widely distributed, natural, nontoxic compound found in citrus fruits, spices, herbs, and some conifer essential oils. Squeezing orange and lemon rinds and collecting the oily residue concentrates limonene. In fact, the essential oils of grapefruit, tangerine, and orange contain over 90% limonene. This simple monocyclic monoterpene . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 September, 2013 compound has been found in nearly 100 studies in animals and in humans to prevent cancer, stop the progression of cancer, and destroy and dismantle cancer. Limonene has been shown to be active against several types of tumors, including mammary~ skin, lung, liver and forestomach in rodents and colon and breast cancer in humans. Incorporating limonene in your diet is a healthy lifestyle choice that helps promote normal cell life cycles. Limonene Content of Selected Essential Oils Essenial Oil & % of Limonene Grapefruit Tangerine Orange Mandarin Lemon Elemi Lime Bergamot Ledum Dill Black Pepper Frankincense Fir Neroli Spearmint Myrtle Pine 95.12 94.62 91.40 72.36 65.44 50.50 49.01 40.39 23.34 21.26 17.42 16.40 15.80 15.63 15.16 10.54 10.25 Stopping Cancer at its Birth The cancer process is swift and often goes unnoticed until drastic measures must be taken. The key is prevention with chemoprevention agents like limonene. The phytonutrient limonene has been found in numerous animal and human studies to help stop cancer in its three stages; initiation, promotion/progression, and metastasis. The bulk of the animal clinical trials -over 50 studies -- support the fact that limonene strongly inhibits the initiation of cancer growth. In other words, it helps prevent the start of cancer. Several limonene researchers conclude limonene is most active at the initiation stage. In 1991, a randomized, placebo controlled study done by researchers at 6 the University of Minnesota, Wattenberg and Coccia, examined the administration of 0.2 ml limonene to mice one hour prior to the administration of the carcinogen NNK twice a week for 8 weeks. At the end of 28 weeks the mice were examined for tumor growth. The group of mice receiving limonene had less than onethird (<33 percent) the number of cancerous tumors compared to the control group. Wattenberg and Coccia’s findings were consistent with eleven other clinical trials conducted by other researchers. Early studies by Hombureger in 1971 and VanDuaren in 1976 found that limonene inhibits the initiation of skin 95.12 cancer. Later studies by Wattenberg94.62 in 1983, Elegbede in 1984, Elson in 198~, 91.40 Russin in 1989, and Moore and Maltzman. Limonene Stops Cancer Promotion and Progression The ability of limonene to inhibit the progression/promotion stage of cancer has been well documented. In 1989 researchers Maltzman, Hurt, Elson, Tanner, and Gould of the University Wisconsin fed rats the carcinogen NMU for one week prior to the administration of limonene. At the conclusion of the 23 weeks, researchers found rats receiving limonene during the earliest stages of cancer (the so-called promotion/progression stage) had about 50% fewer mammary tumors per rat compared to the control group. These findings were confirmed by Elson et al., 1988; Crowell et al., 1991; Moore et al., 1991; and Crowd! et a!., 1994. Researchers later found that limonene inhibits the progression/promotion of cancer cells by stopping the protein called farnesyl group from attaching to the surface of the mutated cell, thereby reducing the deadly escalation of cell to cell miscommunication. Limonene also allows the mutated molecule to exit the cell and be destroyed before becoming cancerous (Schafer et a!., 1992, Kato et at., 1992, Crowd! et al., 1992). Limonene Reduces Tumor Size and Blocks Cancer Metastasis Not only does limonene stop cancer growth from starting and prevent existing cancer growth from spreading but it has also been shown in animals to regress existing tumors. Elgebede et al. of the University of Wisconsin conducted a clinical trial in 1986 to evaluate limonene’s anticancer effect against carcinogen-induced tumors. Rats were administered the carcinogen DMBA continuously until a large tumor mass was detected. Rats were then placed on a 10 percent limonene diet for 21 weeks. Researchers found limonene caused an 80% regression of mammary tumors. Later studies confirmed Elgebede’s resuks (Haag et at., 1992; Jirtle et al, 1993; and Chander et al., 1994). How Our Body Uses Limonene A research team at the University of Wisconsin set out in 1994 to connect the anti-cancer benefits of d-limonene on rats to its benefits on humans. Crowell et al. gave humans 100 mglkg of limonene to ingest. Human blood samples were taken at three different times and analyzed for limonenemetabolites on a gas chromatograph/ mass spectrometer. The human metabolites were then compared to rat metabolite researched in previous studies. Crowell et al. concluded that rat metabolism of limonene closely parallels that of humans in terms of both the specific metabolites formed and the time in which they formed. These results suggest that limonene will have similar cancer-treating benefits in humans. The fact that limonene caused no toxicity to humans -- even at huge doses of 100 mg/kg of body weight -underscores its enormous potential in cancer remission therapy. Limonene and Advanced Cancer Patients Vigushin and his research group from the Department of Medical Oncology at the Charing Cross Hospital in London were the first in 1998 to research dlimonene in advanced cancer patients. The first part of the study (Phase I) focused on investigating toxicity and maximum tolerated dose for patients with advanced solid tumors. The maximum tolerated dose was set at 8 grams/m2 or 16 grams/day. The second . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . part of the study (Phase II) focused on the anti-cancer effect of d-limonene on advanced breast and colon cancer patients. Researchers found promising results: One partial response in a breast cancer patient on 16 grams per day was maintained for 11 months. Three patients with colon cancer showed stabilization of disease for longer than six months on d-limonene. The first of the three had no measurable cancer progression for nine months at a dose of 1 gram/day. The second patient with colon cancer showed a reduction of <50%. At in the size of the tumor after only two cycles of d-limonene at 1 gram/day and maintained the reduction for 12 months. The third patient with colon cancer showed stabilization on 2 grams/day for 7.5 months. Vigushin and colleagues were intrigued that the breast cancer patient responded so well when the dose she was taking was almost five times less than the minimum effective dose predicted by the animal studies. FDA Finally Admits Chicken Meat Contains Cancer-Causing Arsenic Yep. It’s in the feed. Read the full article here: http://healthfreedoms.org/2013/08 /03/fda-finally-admits-chickenmeat-contains-cancer-causingarsenic/ America’s Newest Drug Addicts: How Legal Drugs are Destroying America By Dr. Mercola Americans are a pill-popping population, as nearly half are taking at least one prescription drug. Even children are taking their fair share, with one of every five U.S. kids using at least one prescribed medication. Among seniors, as you might suspect, drug use is beyond epidemic. Nine out of 10 older Americans are taking at least one drug, with more than 76% over 60 using two or more and 37% using five or more! The biggest issue here is what all of the drugs are doing to your health, but the cost cannot be ignored either. U.S. spending for prescription drugs more than doubled from 1999 to 2008 to just over $234 billion. Unfortunately, the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on prescription drugs is not giving Americans the good health they desire. Instead we’re seeing massive increases in chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease and diabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. As drug spending continues to increase, Americans’ health continues to decline, and that is not a coincidence. Drug Companies are Not Looking Out for Your Health Pharmaceutical companies have kept the wool pulled over Americans’ eyes for many years, and had many convinced that they were working fervently to develop safe medications that would cure and prevent virtually every disease plaguing the world. But these modern-day messiahs are not the saints they would have you believe … not even close. The drug companies that manufacture some of the best-selling drugs in the world have committed some of the greatest crimes against human health. For instance: Pfizer, maker of one of the biggest selling cholesterol drugs Lipitor, paid out the largest health care fraud settlement in history -- $2.3 billion -- for illegally promoting uses of four of its drugs. Pfizer engaged in illegally promoting one of these drugs, Bextra, for off-label use despite their knowledge that it was associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart attack. Another top seller, Plavix, which is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb and used to help prevent strokes and heart attacks, also has serious side effects you many not be aware of. When combined with aspirin, the drug nearly doubled the death rate from heart disease among patients who had not had heart attacks but were at risk for them. Diabetes drug Avandia, made by GlaxoSmithKline, is still on the market despite research showing a 43% increased risk of heart attack and a 64% higher risk of cardiovascular death compared to patients treated with other methods. Merck, the maker of the painkiller Vioxx that killed 60,000 people, ignored research that reflected unfavorably on their drug, and they concealed heart attacks suffered by three patients during a clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2000. They also deleted other relevant data before submitting their article for publication. Drug company Wyeth, who is now owned by Pfizer, paid ghostwriters to write articles promoting hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and downplaying its risks, for medical journals. Now it’s widely known that synthetic HRT increases risks of heart disease, breast cancer and other serious health problems. The truth is, drug companies continuously display blatant disregard not only for federal laws but also for public health by aggressively developing and marketing drugs even when they know they will cause harm. They continue to do this because they are unlikely to suffer much of a consequence for their crimes. Most people have no idea just how shielded these huge drug companies really are. Even under the BEST circumstances -such as with a drug that has gone through unbiased, stringent, long-term testing -- when it is released into the uncontrolled environment of your body, literally anything can happen -- and only a tiny fraction of the possibilities have been “tested for” in a lab. Unfortunately, those circumstances are a rarity. Studies are frequently biased, results are skewed, and drugs are put on a fast-track to be approved long before anyone knows whether they’re safe -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 September, 2013 and sometimes even when it’s known that they’re not. “Pharmageddon” Overtaking U.S. Baby Boomers The drug industry has successfully turned our society into a “pharmacracy” where every twitch and hiccup is deemed treatable with another prescription. Unfortunately, treating disease symptoms with drugs will invariably create other health problems, which lead to yet another prescription to counteract the side effects from the first one, followed by another one, and another… It’s an evil circle that is now leading to a rash of prescription drug addictions and overdose deaths dubbed “pharmageddon.” Pharmageddon is "the prospect of a world in which medicines and medicine produce more ill-health than health, and when medical progress does more harm than good" -- and it is no longer a prospect but fully upon us. Those most at risk from dying from this new drug crisis are people you would least expect: baby boomers whose doctors are only too happy to prescribe multiple medications. As a result, in the last 20 years deaths from accidental drug overdoses have increased five-fold and, as CBS News reported, unintentional overdoses are now the leading cause of accidental death in 15 states and the District of Columbia. So we’re seeing a mounting death toll directly attributable to prescription drugs. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), adverse drug reactions from drugs that are properly prescribed and properly administered cause about 106,000 deaths per year, making prescription drugs the fourthleading cause of death in the U.S. Compare this to the death toll from illegal drugs -- which is about 10,000 per year -- and you begin to see the magnitude of the problem, and the magnitude of the cover-up. 8 We are indeed a nation of drug addicts, and just like old-fashioned street junkies, we’re spending every penny we have to feed the beast. Unfortunately, now people are dying in droves because of our dependency on a quick, but dangerous, fix. Should You Put Your Health in the Hands of the Drug Companies? Drugs should typically not be your first choice when dealing with a health problem. I realize that it takes a massive shift in thinking to realize that your body can heal itself, and that often drugs only hinder the process. But I can’t stress enough the importance of the most basic principle of HOW to resolve an illness: finding the underlying cause of the problem. Masking it with a drug that lessens your symptoms does not fix anything. For example, all of the following conditions can be treated or prevented with LIFESTYLE CHANGES, yet if you go to a typical doctor, you will likely be prescribed a potentially dangerous drug instead: Diabetes Heart disease High blood pressure High cholesterol Insomnia Disease can only be resolved by addressing its root cause, so that is what you should strive for. Remember, leading a common sense, healthy lifestyle is your best bet to produce a healthy body and mind, and increase your longevity. So first and foremost I encourage you to follow these basic health tenets if you want to avoid these and other terrible diseases. Next, seek out a physician or health coach that understands your body’s innate ability to heal, who will provide guidance into natural and truly safe treatment methods that go above and beyond a bottle of pills. In the event your doctor or coach suggests you take a drug, research it before you take it. Do not believe for one minute that your physician will have all the answers and all the latest research findings at his or her fingertips. They won’t. Most physicians will have little to offer you aside from the lines they learned from their drug reps. Also, it’s a good idea to keep in mind the very real fact that drug companies are ALLOWED to continue making drugs despite being caught lying, defrauding, and even knowingly killing its customers time and time again. Then take a look at the frequently devastating side effects that are listed on the drug’s label. Remember that even if it lists a side effect as rare, it can still happen to you. Also remember that a large number of drugs are vastly over-prescribed and unnecessary. They’re frequently referred to as “blockbuster drugs.” If several people you know are on it, ask yourself, “why?” and “what alternatives do I have?” More often than not, you will discover there are numerous non-drug alternatives to help you not only resolve your health complaint, but go on to reach true optimal health. Editorial Note: I cannot tell you how many times Young Living products have helped our whole family. My husband is only on 2 meds for his weak heart currently that are old and well tested. He has been taking tons of supplements to build himself up and I personally feel that he is much stronger today than a year ago. We also eat extremely healthy and I also believe that is very important. I hope that the articles I include in my newsletter is aiding you in your quest for a longer and healthier life. Disaster and Essential Oils Risa Nakahira, a registered nurse (RN) from Japan who is now a full-time Young Living distributor explained how she used essential oils for trauma relief after the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.

(Simply placed a drop of Lavender in the palm of the hand; rub hands together 4 or 5 times and run hands over the surface of the pillow.)

Rectal Implants Rectal implants are easy with a baby feeding syringe. It has a big rubber circle like a nipple with a long narrow tube coming out of the middle and attached to a plunger syringe. First I place ½ to 1 tsp. of V6 oil in a shot glass-like cup. (Hang on to any little plastic medicine cups as they work great for this.) Then I add anywhere from 10-20 drops of various oils. Then I just insert the syringe into the rectum and squeeze. The oils go in very smoothly and within seconds you might taste them in your mouth. There is a nerve path they travel that goes directly from the rectum to the lungs, so this is an excellent method of getting the oils to the lungs for any respiratory problems like pneumonia or COPD. The minute I feel chest or bronchial congestion, I start doing this. I may do it 3-4 times a day. The oils should not be uncomfortable but if you use hot ones like oregano, they may get a little warm. That is why you start out with some mixing oil to dilute them. Peppermint may feel cool after a bit. ************* Any lung or respiratory issue is quickly set aside with a rectal implants using Raven or RC w/Frankincense & V-6 mixing oil. "There is a nerve that goes from the rectum to the lungs. ...the oils will travel in this manner in 3 seconds." The results have always been nothing short of astounding when used in this way. My husband has used Frankincense, Myrrh, Sage & Fennel w/V-6 in at night for preventative prostrate measures. I have used Frankincense, Myrrh, Sage & Melaleuca vaginally w/V-6 in at night. Gary Young has suggested this also for changing DNA when one has repetitive physical symptoms. --Jeanette Testimonials My Dad also had a lot of edema in his lower legs and feet, as well as diabetes. We put Cypress Oil on them every day and it helped tremendously! He also loved the smell, as he used to play in the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 September, 2013 cypress when growing up in California. --Mary A. One of the ways I have used Slique Essence Oil was putting it in water every day and drinking it (3-4 drops in a quart jar). I don't necessarily have to lose lots of weight, but I definitely have some cellulite that I would like to get rid of on my legs. Being consistent every day seems to be the key as I did notice some changes. --Nancy M I put 1 drop of lavender on my left wrist and rubbed it in. My BP dropped 40 points! --M Bahls My son was bit by a tick a few years back, he didn't know it was a tick bite until days later he developed a bulls eyes rash around the bite. He immediately applied Thieves, Purification on the entire area and he started on Gary Young's Antibiotic Formula. (12 drops of Thieves, 6 drops Oregano, 3 drops Frankincense in empty cap 3 times a day for 2 weeks.) After the 2 weeks of Antibiotics he started taking Inner Defense and Parafree. He had several Raindrops as well. Today he shows no signs of Lyme, and I truly believe the oils were effective in combating the bacteria. I have a file of notes that I have saved . . To remove a tick, apply 1 drop of cinnamon, peppermint or thyme on cotton swab and swab the tick. Then wait for it to unhedge the head before removing from yourself or from an animal. Apply Purification on site to detoxify wound. Apply 1 drop of Peppermint every 5 minutes for 50 minutes to reduce pain and infection. --Jan I got the hick-ups the other night, you all know the kind, the ones that hurt and won't stop. I remembered someone mentioning she used R.C. on her son’s chest. So, off to the oils I went. I dropped two drops (meant to only do one, ya right) in my mouth and held them there as I walked back to the 10 kitchen where my daughter was. I hickuped once, then sadly a second time. As I was saying to daughter " I guess that didn't.. .....hey wait", something physically happened to my body. Best way to explain it is some sort of adjustment, a fix of sorts. But, clearly something did happen to me, and then......" I'm not hick-uping" . So, I waited in a fascinated state and they never came back. WOW, how cool!! These things keep happening, I am a total oil addict, even after all these years I still have that same joy, awe, fascination, excited feeling when we get that happening with our oils. Anyway, just wanted to share with you all, and if that gal is on here that first shared, I thank you!! --Laura D I had good success tapering my mother off Lexapro (in the same class as Prozac) by shaving the tablet and giving her Frankincense in a capsule 2-3 times a day, 4-6 drops with equal amount of V-6. I also had her put Lavender on her forehead and back of her neck and diffused Peace and Calming during the day. Not sure how effective this will be if she's completely stopped the Prozac. Hope she doesn't crash! Try muscle testing for your answer for her dilemma. Good luck. -Elaine I have arthritis in my neck and was in much discomfort until I used Palo Santo and Deep Relief. I was amazed at how quickly I could sleep without so much pain. I just rubbed both on the neck. --Sharon A. I would like to give the guys out there who are having problems with their prostate some info. My husband was having intense pain & urinary problems from this & we tried just about every supplement on the market with some small results but not enough. We ordered the 12 oils of Ancient Scripture and he started to use Myrtle & Cypress. He rubs these oils directly on the bridge of skin where the prostate is located as well as on his pelvic area. I also rub his back over the kidneys & liver area & he puts the oils on the reflex areas of his feet & hands. Within a few hours he had relief from the intense pain & the flow returned to normal. He still has urgency when he needs to urinate but no pain. I think we need to work on the bladder now. What a blessing the oils have been to us in so many ways. God bless us all, --Adele Rosemary is known as the mind clearing oil. I read of a nurse whose mother was put into a nursing home because of declining memory. She diffused Rosemary in her room every night and her mother eventually got well enough to go home. You can use a few drops of Rosemary in the bath water and a few drops also in her shampoo. -- PJ B. My knee was bone on bone. Dr. said I need a knee operation because cartilage supposedly doesn't grow back. He gave me Motrin. I thought there must be more to it than this. Walked up stairs one step at a time using the other knee to lift the body weight. Now knee pain is gone, played golf this summer, and plan to play tennis as soon as I get some time. Used Sulfurzyme to supply sulfur compounds which the body uses as building blocks; Lemongrass to stimulate cartilage growth; and PanAway to eliminate pain. What a blessing! --Mike I experienced a frozen shoulder (much like a rotator cuff tear). I used Raindrop Oils 3-4 times a day on the shoulder along with lemongrass and Balsam Fir and rubbed OrthoSport over it. You can also do a castor oil pack over the oils. When pain is relieved, it is beneficial to do stretching to regain Range of Motion. Warm packs before you stretch are helpful also. It took about 6 months but it was 6 months sooner than the MD predicted it would take. Copaiba is helpful also. You can also take the Morphine Pain Bomb (5 drops Copaiba, 5 of Balsam Fir and 5 of Frankincense in a capsule as often as you need it) --Barb L., RN Need a speaker?
