thanks for seeking to contribute a balanced view to the conversation.

however my concern is with the website's intentions:

"The number two reason? People have a business or product line that
includes the oil of the tea tree , and they want more ideas on it's
use and benefits.

The third reason people find my site is they have similar interest in
herbs, essential oils, health and wellness. They might also have an
interest in developing an online presence and have been referred to my
site as an example. "


so, of course they will write in favour of tea tree oil.

anyway, that said, please point to the direct refutation of TTO
mutating testosterone into estrogen in young boys?

very important to review all facts, and i thank you for your contribution.

to read all of it.
