ESSENTIAL OILS ONLINE #043

The word is out. In June of 1996 when I did my first word search
for "essential oils," a grand total of two (2) sites came up: One
was for an aromatherapy shop in London, England, the other was a
page promoting essential oils here in the states. Today, the same
word search using the new super search engine, Google, lists
215,000 sites. To steal a phrase, "We've come a long way. Baby!"

Granted the Net was much newer back in 96, but the numbers are
impressive never-the-less. These figures represent an explosion of
interest in natural health. Essential oils are being re-discovered
by the masses.

Still, this good news is of little help to the millions of
people in suffering, who have yet to hear about or to try our
precious "healing oils." Unless someone, like yourself, is willing
to speak out to others who could benefit by their use, of what
value are the oils?

We have come a long way, but the journey has just begun. For every
ten people who have heard of essential oils, there are one hundred
people who have not. Fewer still are those who use them on a
regular basis.

The future is bright for those of us who share the message.
We hope you will join us in our mission of placing therapeutic
grade essential oils into every home in North America.

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. Health Watch:

Avoid CT scans unless you or your child's life depends upon it

"There is both good and bad medicine. The primary difference
between the two is that bad medicine does harm and can kill.
Good medicine does no harm - ever!" Jim Lynn, Editor EOO

By Steve Sternberg, USA TODAY 01/23/2001

Each year, about 1.6 million children in the USA get CT scans to
the head and abdomen Ч and about 1,500 of those will die later in
life of radiation-induced cancer, according to research out today.

What's more, CT or computed tomography scans given to kids are
typically calibrated for adults, so children absorb two to six times
the radiation needed to produce clear images , a second study shows.
These doses are "way bigger than the sorts of doses that people at
Three Mile Island were getting," David Brenner of Columbia University
says. "Most people got a tenth or a hundredth of the dose of a CT."

Both studies appear in February's American Journal of Roentgenology,
the nation's leading radiology journal. The first, by Brenner and
colleagues, is the first to estimate the risks of "radiation-induced
fatal cancer" from pediatric CT scans. Until a decade ago, CT scans
took too long to perform on children without giving them anesthesia
to keep them still. Today's scanners spiral around the patient in
seconds, providing cross sections, or "slices," of anatomy.

Doctors use CT scans on children to search for cancers and ailments
such as appendicitis and kidney stones.

"There's a huge number of people who don't just receive one scan,"
says Fred Mettler of the University of New Mexico, noting that CT
scans are used for diagnosis and to plan and evaluate treatment .
"The breast dose from a CT scan of the chest is somewhere
between 10 and 20 mammograms. You'd want to think long and
hard about giving your young daughter 10 to 20 mammograms
unless she really needs it."

Mettler recently published a study showing that 11% of the CT scans
at his center are done in children under 15, and they get 70% of the
total radiation dose given to patients. Children have more rapidly
dividing cells than adults, which are more susceptible to radiation
damage. Children also will live long enough for cancers to develop.

Researchers led by Lane Donnelly at Cincinnati's Children's Hospital
found that children often get radiation doses six times higher than
necessary . Cutting the adult dose in half would yield a clear image
and cut the risk a like amount, Brenner says. "Radiologists genuinely
believe the risks are small," he says. "I suspect they've never been
confronted with numbers like this."

COLON HEALTH

Provided by The Eck Institute of
Applied Nutrition and Bioenergetics

Digestion System:

The digestive system is very complex! Not only is this where
food is broken down and nutrients absorbed, the digestive tract
also plays a critical role in the immune system in ways we still
do not completely understand. Some vitamins and other nutrient
co-factors are synthesized in the intestines. Also, when
elimination is inadequate, the resulting fermentation and
putrefaction of food produces toxins that play a significant
role in many illnesses. Colon health needs to be addressed
in every patient.

Causes of Digestive Problems:

Most people today experience some degree of digestive difficulty.
Several reasons for this problem include:

1. Stressful lifestyles and poor eating habits. Digestion requires
parasympathetic activity. Eating on the run, eating when
anxious, deficient chewing and eating too fast suppress

parasympathetic activity.

2. Widespread use of antibiotics. These destroy normal bowel
flora. These chemicals are pervasive in our environment - used
in human medicine, added to animal feed and residues in all
our food and water supplies.

3. Candida albicans and other intestine I I parasitic infections.
Candida is prevalent not only due to antibiotic usage. Steroid
use, alkaline colons, weak immune systems and copper and
other nutritional imbalances also contribute.

4. Anti-acid medications. These include over-the counter anti-acids
like Maalox, Mylanta, Gaviscon and Ryopan, alkaline
calcium supplements such as Turns and prescription anti-acids
like Zantac and Tagamet. All these may impair digestion.

5. Diets deficient in zinc and other trace elements. These
deficiencies can lead to a reduced production of digestive
enzymes.

6. Constipation due to stress, low-fiber diets, lack of exercise,
improper flora and many medications. This can drastically
affect one's health.

7. Use of coffee, spices, other stimulants and poor food
combinations impair digestion.

8. Food sensitivities. The most severe sensitivities are gluten
allergies which cause sprue. Many milder food reactions can also
impair digestion and elimination.

9. With increasing age, digestive enzyme production and bowel
motility often decrease.

Hair Analysis Indicators:

The following are hair analysis indicators involved in digestion
and elimination.

1. Slow oxidizers and those with a low sodium potassium ratio tend
to be deficient in hydrochloric acid. Sodium is exchanged for
chlorine in the intestine to produce hydrochloric acid.
Inadequate stomach acid affects the rest of the digestive tract,
as it is needed to trigger other digestive secretions. The lower
the levels of sodium and potassium, the more pronounced the
tendency for low stomach acid.

2. Occasionally slow oxidizers may complain of heartburn. This can
be due to a hiatal hernia, or production of other acids in the
stomach. The procedure with these cases is to slowly introduce
Betaine HCL-Pepsin, or even cider vinegar to the program.

3. True fast oxidizers are more prone to excessive stomach acid.

4. Copper imbalance, overt and hidden, and mercury toxicity are
associated with candida albicans infection. Copper is the body's
natural yeast fighter because it enhances aerobic metabolism.
Copper imbalance allows anaerobic organisms to flourish.

5. A sodium/potassium ratio less than 2.2:1 is associated with
an impaired immune system. This can make one more prone
to infection with candida albicans and other intestinal
infections. This pattern is also associated with excessive
tissue breakdown that may result in ulcers and colitis.

6. A high sodium/potassium ratio (over 4.5: 1) is associated with
inflammation. This may contribute to symptoms such as gastritis,
colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

7. An imbalanced calcium/magnesium ratio (less than 4.5:1 or
greater than 8.5:1) is often associated with excessive
carbohydrate intake in the diet or impaired carbohydrate
tolerance. This can result in gas, bloating and other digestive
symptoms due to fermentation of carbohydrates.

8. Zinc is required to produce digestive enzymes. A zinc deficiency,
evidenced by a zinc level less than 15 mg%, a high copper level,
hidden copper toxicity, or elevated cadmium may contribute to
impaired digestion.

9. A phosphorus level less than 13 mg% is associated with impaired
protein synthesis. A low phosphorus level may be due to low zinc,
low protein in the diet, or impaired digestion and absorption
of protein.

Crohn's Disease
by Jim Lynn

There is a growing body of evidence that vaccinations may contribute
to the occurrence of non-infectious diseases. For example, there is
now serious suspicion that measles vaccinations may be a significant
cause of inflammatory bowel disease. This was brought to light in a
study of 3,545 people who had received the measles vaccination in
1964, 11,407 matched un-vaccinated controls, and the 2,541 partners
of those vaccinated. Those who had been vaccinated had a three times
greater risk of developing Crohn's disease. and a two and one half
times greater risk of ulcerative colitis. (Thompson, N.P. et al.: Is
measles vaccinationa risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease?
Lancet 345:1071-74, 1995)

The term "leaky gut" is used to refer to a bowel that has increased
permeability. When the intestines are damaged, leakage into the body
of substances that normally are expelled increases dramatically.
This is especially a problem in chronic inflammatory diseases such
as Crohn's disease. (Abnormal intestinal permeability in Crohn's
disease. Scand J. Gastroenterol 25: 321-28, 1990)

It is suspected that people with Crohn's disease have a much higher
level of toxic bacteria in their intestines (The human faecal flora
and Crohn's disease. Ant van leeuwenhoek 50:691-700, 1984)

According to Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, author of Total Wellness, eating
fish oil appears to help. He cites a double-blind, placebo-controlled
multi-center research trial that supplemented fish oil which produced
good results. Dr. Pizzorno also states that people who suffer from
Chronic inflammatory problems should avoid all drugs and chemicals
known to increase inflammation, and greatly reduce their consumption
of land-animal fats. In addition, he says that supplements with
substantial amounts of antioxidants and essential fatty acids from
primrose, flax seed, borage and black current help to decrease
the pain and swelling (Total Wellness, Prima Publishing, 1996, p 191)

Young Living's Essential Omegas provides a full spectrum of
essential fatty acids and contains the flax seed and black current
mentioned by Dr. Pizzorno.

There are many factors which come to play, but most chronic,
non-infectious diseases seem to thrive in acidic conditions.

Young Living Essential Oils, Inc. offers AlkaLime, an acid-
neutralizing mineral formulation designed to combat yeast
and fungus over-growth and preserve the body's proper pH
balance. Many people believe maintaining a proper pH
balance is the cornerstone of health.

An excellent companion product is Young Living's Royaldophilus,
an excellent source of L acidophilus, the intestinal cultures that
are valuable for inhibiting yeast and fungus over-growth and reducing
acidity. In addition, Royaldophilus includes plantain, an exceptional
media for promoting implantation of friendly bacterial flora to the
intestinal wall.

There are many antioxidant products on the market, but the two
I recommend are Goji Berry Tea and Sulfurzyme. Both of these
products offered by Young Living contain Wolfberry, one of the
most potent sources available for antioxidants.

There is an answer to this health problem. But people must
understand that true health begins with taking responsibility for
their health. That means for many people a change in the foods
they eat, and beginning a daily regime of taking nutritional food
supplements. It also means accepting the need to learn more
about how their body responds to what they eat.

4. Bonus Article Two:

Why Butter Is Better
by Stephen Byrnes, ND, RNCP
http://www.PowerHealth.net

One of the most healthy whole foods
you can include in your diet is butter.

"What?!" I can hear many of you saying, "Isn't butter bad for you?
I thought margarine and spreads were better because they're low
in saturated fat and cholesterol?"

Be not deceived folks!

Butter is truly better than margarine or other vegetable
spreads. Despite unjustified warnings about saturated
fat from well-meaning, but misinformed, nutritionists,
the list of butter's benefits is impressive indeed:

Vitamins:

Butter is a rich source of easily absorbed vitamin A,
needed for a wide range of functions in the body, from
maintaining good vision, to keeping the endocrine
system in top shape. Butter also contains all the
other fat-soluble vitamins (E, K, and D).

Minerals:

Butter is rich in trace minerals, especially selenium,
a powerful antioxidant. Ounce for ounce, butter has
more selenium per gram than either whole wheat or
garlic. Butter also supplies iodine, needed by the
thyroid gland (as well as vitamin A, also needed by
the thyroid gland).

Fatty Acids:

Butter has appreciable amounts of butyric acid, used
by the colon as an energy source. This fatty acid is
also a known anti-carcinogen. Lauric acid, a medium
chain fatty acid, is a potent antimicrobial and antifungal
substance.

Butter also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which
gives excellent protection against cancer. Range-fed cows
produce especially high levels of CLA as opposed to
"stall fed" cattle.

It pays, then, to get your butter from a cow that
has been fed properly.

Butter also has small, but equal, amounts of omega
3 and 6 fatty acids, the so-called essential fatty acids.

Glycospingolipids:

These are a special category of fatty acids that protect
against gastrointestinal infections, especially in the very
young and the elderly. Children, therefore, should not
drink skim or low fat milk. Those that do have higher
rates of diarrhea than those that drink whole milk.

Cholesterol:

Despite all of the mis-information you may have heard,
cholesterol is needed to maintain intestinal health, but is
also needed for brain and nervous system development
in the young. Again, this emphasizes the need for
cholesterol-rich foods for children. Human breast milk
is extremely high in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Standing in direct opposition to all of these healthful
qualities stands margarine and assorted "vegetable
oil spreads." While these may be cheaper, you'd never
eat them again if you knew how they were made.

All margarines are made from assorted vegetable oils
that have been heated to extremely high temperatures.
This insures that the oils will become rancid. After that,
a nickel catalyst is added, along with hydrogen atoms,
to solidify it. Nickel is a toxic heavy metal and amounts
always remain in the finished product. Finally, deodorants
and colorings are added to remove margarine's horrible
smell (from the rancid oils) and unappetizing grey color.

And if that is not enough, in the solidification process,
harmful trans-fatty acids are created which are carcinogenic
and mutagenic. What would you rather have: a real food with
an abundance of healthful qualities or a stick of carcinogenic,
bleached, and deodorized slop?

Some of you might be watching your weight and be rather
hesitant to add butter into your diet. Have no fear. About 15%
of the fatty acids in butter are of the short and medium chain
variety which are NOT stored as fat in the body, but are used
by the vital organs for energy.

When looking for good quality butter, raw and cultured is best.
This might be hard to find, however. Organic butter is your next
best thing, with store-bought butter being at the bottom.
Remember what we've said about commercially-raised cows;
its worth a few extra cents to get high quality butter for you
and your family.

A brand of butter available in many markets is Anchor, imported
from New Zealand. In this country, all cattle are grass-fed, thus
insuring a high nutrient content of their milk, butter, and meat.
