ESSENTIAL OILS ONLINE #042

I was struck by the following quote I found hanging on the
wall of a doctor's office:

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest
his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and the
cause and prevention of disease." Attributed to Thomas Edison

Well, ole Tom may be right, but not in this generation. It seems
to me doctor's have a long way to go before the words of the
famous inventor come true.

We, however, do not need to wait for doctors to tell us about
the care of our frame, our diet, or the cause and prevention
of disease. These things are well known throughout the world.
The problem is us; you and me. We are a stubborn lot when
it comes to taking care of ourselves. Therein lies the answer
to human health. I wonder how ole Tom fared?

PHARMACEUTICAL dispensed drugs are toxic failures not fit
for human consumption. According to JAMA (Journal of the
American Medical Association), Prescribed drug-caused
deaths rank 4th on the mortality table list. 1994 statistics
show 106,000 people died from unintended drug side-effects.
This would be considered criminal by any other civilized
standard.

Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D., Medical Editor for "Health and
Healing," estimates 18 million more people have survived toxic
side effects from these same drugs prescribed by their
doctors...Over 2 million of them were bad enough to be
hospitalized in 1994 alone. Chemical Drugs and the so-called
"health" system that promotes using them are part of the
problem, not the solution.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for your own health, not the AMA,
FDA or your physician. If your physician prescribes a drug for
"treatment," ask him or her what known side-effects exist.
If he or she downplays any risk, ask yourself this question...
Is playing Russian roulette with drugs worth risking your life?
It can and does happen...106,000 deaths every year!!

1. Editorial:

Can You Hear the Ticking?

Our world, it seems, is sitting on a biological time bomb that
modern medicine is ill equipped to deal with. Almost every week
we read of disease outbreaks occurring that, if not arrested,
can cause catastrophic loss of life. In my opinion, it is only a
matter of time before one of these outbreaks gets loose and
finds its way into the global population.

Right now the governments of England, France, and Germany
are fighting to stop the spread of foot and mouth disease.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/food/. An all out effort is underway
to isolate, kill and burn contaminated herds. While the threat
of passing foot and mouth disease to humans is rare, it does
happen. The point here is that disease outbreaks in cattle
can be sudden and rampant. That in itself is enough to cause
alarm with meat consumers. They wonder, "How do I know
the meat I eat is not contaminated with disease?" The answer
is that no one can know with certainty.

Another Ebola haemorrhagic fever outbreak was reported in Uganda
just a few weeks ago. So far, this dreaded killer has yet to find
its way to American shores, but for how long? Common sense dictates
this disease, transmitted through body fluids, will one day make
U.S. headlines.

Influenza pandemics remain a constant threat worldwide, inspite of
years of research spent in attempts to eradicate it. Our generation
is young enough not to remember the 1918 influenza pandemic that
killed an estimated 25 million people. We live our lives in trust
that our government will protect us from these and many other
lethal forms of disease, just as people did in 1918. But our
government openly acknowledges it is helpless against such
outbreaks. Even without pandemics, influenza kills an estimated
20,000 people in the U.S. annually. Imagine how life would
change in a full blown pandemic. You can monitor flu outbreaks
state-by-state at: http://intelihealth.com. Scan down and click
the Flu-O-Meter link.

The bottom line is that hundreds of millions of people are destined
to die whenever one of these biological ticking bomb stops ticking
and explodes.

I am not a scientist or medical doctor. But I read and study.
What I have learned is that when a person's immune system is
strong, when it has not been compromised, that person will not
succumb to viral or bacterial outbreaks. Their body's defenses
beat the bug before it has a chance to overpower their body.

Why did only 500,000 people die in the U.S. in the 1918 flu
pandemic? What kept the virus from killing off the entire
population? The answer is that the virus could only kill those
people whose immune system had been compromised by their lifestyle.
And it did! The virus disappeared only after killing off the weak.

According to Dr. Robert Webster, a virologist at St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital, the next influenza pandemic
will kill an estimated 250 to 300 million people. This number
represents those people whose health is impaired enough
not to withstand the potency of any new strain of virus that
may explode on the scene. Dr. Webster believes the 1918
outbreak was a babe in the woods, compared to what has
been dubbed the "doomsday flu" he and his fellows are
waiting for. He also believes it is imminent.

It seems to me if we want to be prepared to live long lives
free of pain and suffering, we need to pay more attention
to what we feed our body in order to strengthen our body's
natural defenses. Eating foods laced with pesticides and
herbicides; drinking water with the trace elements of the same,
and eating foods which are so highly processed they lack basic
nutrition are just a few examples of how we set ourselves up for
disasters.

What is more alarming is that we know these things, yet continue
to live our lives as though none of this matters. Younger people
feel immortal and older people are too set in their ways to change.
And so the beat goes on.

In the end, we can only point blame at ourselves when beset with
chronic illness, or when we fall victim to some biological disaster.

Those who have ears and will listen know they must change their
lives. In many cases, this involves taking drastic steps to insure
the food and water we consume is not only nourishing but safe.
Everything we put into our mouths must be suspect and judged
to be safe before assuming so.

For instance, drug residue has recently been found in New Mexico
rivers. Further studies have uncovered caffeine and residues from
anti-depressants and painkillers in samples taken in and around
the state. This water finds its way to residential drinking water
taps. We must learn to ask. What good can come from drinking
such water?

Drugs can enter into rivers in several ways: Excretions from
people who take prescription drugs and don't absorb all of
it, ends up in the sewage system; Unused medicines flushed
down the toilet; Drugs given to livestock may also be excreted
and then washed into rivers by runoff. For more info see:
http://www.uswaternews.com/archives/arcquality/1predru2.html

My point is simply this. If we want to stay healthy, we need
to take pro-active steps to insure our health. Obviously, drinking
water from a water tap without safeguard can disrupt our body's
natural defense system.

What other steps can we take to safeguard our body's natural
defense system? Well for starters, we need to re-organize our
dietary food intake. This will mean spending more money at the
grocery store. Look for whole, unprocessed foods. Unlike
processed foods, whole foods have nutrition your body requires.
Look for certified organic labelled foods. Organic foods are free
of pesticides and herbicides, better tasting and have greater
amounts of nutrition per serving.

How many soft drinks do you drink a day? Per week? Every time
you turn up a can of soda and drink it, you disrupt your body's
ability to assimilate food and compromise your immune system.

Death does not honor ignorance. Those of us who continue
to live our lives without knowledge of these things, or refuse
to change our lifestyles to accommodate our health will
suffer the worst when the time comes.

2. Feature One:

What Can Hair Analysis Reveal?

If you haven't considered having a hair analysis done, you should.
By testing a clipping of your head hair, a qualified lab can
determine the level of mineral content in your body's tissues.
If a mineral deficiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually
indicates a mineral imbalance within the body.

For example: If you hair reveals an elevated calcium level two or
three times normal, then your calcium level within the body may be
elevated also. If this is the case, a strong tendency exists for
arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to calcium plaque).
If your calcium is low, then a tendency exists toward osteoporosis
(demineralization of bone), increased tendency to bone fracture,
dental caries, periodontal disease, muscle cramps, etc.

Because various mineral imbalances in the body frequently lead to
metabolic dysfunction before any symptoms are manifested, a hair
analysis done today could spare you from developing chronic
illness tomorrow.

Why test for minerals?

Minerals are the "spark plugs" of life. They are involved in almost
all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity. life
ceases to exist. A trace mineral analysis is preventive as well as
being useful as a screening tool.

Who needs a hair analysis?

Anyone who is found ill and no explanation can be found,
or when the cause seems to be found but the therapy is not
wholly effective. Hair analysis opens up a whole new vista
for solving your own particular health issues by recognizing
biochemical individuality.

Even if you are not experiencing a severe problem, abnormal
changes in body chemistry and nutritional deficiencies may
result in early, subtle changes in the body such as:

+ White spots in fingernails - Indicates a possible zinc deficiency.
+ Longitudinal ridging in nails - indicates an iron deficiency.
+ Brittle hair and nails - Calcium and copper imbalance.
+ Deep grooves across nails - Calcium deficiency
+ Stretch marks - Zinc deficiency
+ Lack of growth - Zinc deficiency
+ Mood swings - possible toxic metal accumulation

Did you know:

...Women's pre-menstrual headaches are often caused
by too much copper in the system?

...Arthritis pain can be caused by lead, cadmium,
or mercury poisoning?

...Taking too much of anyone vitamin or mineral can be harmful?
Hair analysis is the most efficient means of determining exactly
what vitamins and minerals you need.

...Hyperactive children often have too much lead in their systems?

...High levels of copper in the body and iron can cause migraine
headaches and even schizophrenia?

...Doctors often diagnose heart attacks by the amount of mineral
maganese in the body?

...Magnesium deficiency is related to epilepsy, leukemia,
heart disease and kidney disorders?

...Chromium, Magnesium, maganese and vitamin B6 deficiency
are related to diabetes?

3. Feature Two:

Sleep Deprivation and Hair Analysis
Excerpt from The Eck Institute Newsletter

Mary is a highly intelligent health professional. She eats well,
exercises and takes nutritional supplements. When she saw her
mineral test with an extremely slow oxidation rate and a calcium
shell pattern, she couldn't believe it. "There is nothing wrong
with me," she insisted. "I feel fine. Why is it such a bad-looking
test?"

Having reviewed thousands of mineral tests, I knew the test does
not lie. I asked Mary if she ever got tired. "Well, yes, in the
morning," she answered.

Next I asked how many hours she sleeps? "Five," she said.
"Sleep is a waste of time!" Questioning Mary further, she also
suffered from irritability, mood swings, other emotional
difficulties and digestive problems.

While there may be other causes for Mary's extremely slow
oxidation rate, lack of sleep is likely a major cause. If I had not
asked about her sleep habits, I probably would not have understood
Mary's hair analysis, and probably would not be successful in
helping her feel better.

I suggested to Mary that in addition to correcting her diet and
taking specific supplements, she needs more sleep, at least 8
hours or more until her body recovers. Most healing takes place
during sleep. During the day we expend energy, while at night we
regenerate and restore the body. Ignoring the sleep factor can
sabotage the best-designed nutritional program.
