What I don't understand is the "staph" thing. I have another wonderful
genetic issue with sebaceous cysting - mainly on my face of course. The
cycts kick up when they are infected and the old cure was to head for the
drug store with a script for antibiotics. Now when my face starts to blow
up from one of these cysts I just use my Blemish Control and it disappears.
If the TTO causes infections - why is the Blemish stopping it?? Plus I find
that since I started using the cream I have a lot less problems with the
cysts infecting and becoming a problem for me to begin with.



Our cancer rate is now 1 in 3 so I think I'll worry more about what I ingest
for now. There are only so many hours in the day to research what is good
and bad for us and we each have to pick our own battles or panic points.
That being said, I must thank everyone on this board for all their research
on our behalf's. I have learned more on this list in the past few years
than I could have every found on my own. The pros and cons of every issue
post with their research and save me a ton of time investigating on my own.
Thank you to all of you who have so diligently worked at educating us all J

Amen to that Woody! I'm still on the fence about the dangers of TTO. Can't
say I'm buying into it all. There are tons of foods that mimic estrogen too
that you'd go crazy trying to keep them all at bay. That said, I do keep
TTO, Lavendar Oil, soy products, dairy and meats that have hormons in them,
to the best of my ability, away from my 13 year old son. But again, this is
no easy feat. As to the rest of the TTO issues, (the possible link to
staph), I didn't get that that was a clear picture. I'd love for Dan and
David to comment on all this. But yes, for now, I am sticking with the
Purple Emu Blemish and Redness Relief cream also.

Take care,
Elena

Personally, I'm sticking with the Redness - it works. I only use so very
little every couple of days now and I'd rather not go back the way I was on
the off chance that the infinitesimal amount on my skin could cause a
reaction, maybe, someday? We ingest more chemicals and garbage in a normal
days food than that.

I just can't go back. To each his own I guess??

You know, I couldn't be more upset about all this with the TTO. I finally
buy the purple emu Blemish Redness Control, it works utterly FANTASTIC, I
have relief I haven't had in four years, and now THIS! IT's like a nasty
cosmic joke! I don't know what the heck to do now!

Really bummed out,
Elena
