Non-Chemical Solutions to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Picture of bed bug enlarged and actual size

I cannot recommend or promote the use of any type of chemical to address a bed bug infestation because there are so many kinds and an equal number of ways to handle them. I personally don’t use chemicals due to their toxicity to other living things in my home and in the environment; besides all chemicals are simple in their compound make up which means (much like we’ve seen with the over-use of antibiotics) it won’t be long before the pest becomes immune to the chemical(s) and we have a super-pest on our hands… which is quite possibly the reason why we’re seeing bed bug infestations all over the place. If you feel that you must use chemicals to treat bed bugs, hire a professional, please don’t use chemicals sold in the stores as they are toxic and have been shown to be ineffective.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Air fresheners are a huge business. We all want our homes, cars and workplaces to smell fresh and clean, vibrant or relaxing.  So, when we’re shopping and smell a fragrance like vanilla, or one that reminds us of our childhood home or garden, instinctively we reach for it and put it in our cart, because the smell made us happy, or maybe relaxed.  Not once do we stop to read the list of ingredients in that scented candle or spray air freshener. After all, if it says “vanilla” or “lavender”, we expect we are in fact smelling real vanilla or lavender.

Sadly, nothing could be farther from the truth.

If you are not using pure essential oils, like Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils   to freshen up your room, by default you are using a synthetic air freshener, and, unbeknownst to you, you are inadvertently putting your health at risk from one of these very concentrated sources of poisons in your home.  This is because some of the chemicals needed to make the products effective are harmful. The problems are compounded when the products are mixed.  Far from freshening the air in your home, they just interfere with your ability to detect smells or simply cover them up, all the while adding considerable toxic chemical indoor pollution. http://www.mcs-america.org/airfresh.pdf.  In 2002, EPA researchers testing air freshening units that plug into electrical sockets determined that when the fragrance chemicals in these products react with common indoor air pollutants they produce serious health hazards. These chemicals include toxic substances such as benzene derivatives, pinene and  limonene, aldehydes, phenol, and cresol.

Aria and TheraPro essential oil diffusersThe benefits of diffusing Young Living therapeutic essential oils are many and varied. One thing for certain, it’s a win-win!

Essential oils kill pathogenic micro-organisms of all kinds.

World renowned medical researcher, Dr. Jean Valnet M.D., states that essential oils provide remarkable protection against viral infections ranging from shingles to influenza.

Private research, funded by Young Living Essential Oils. Inc. at Weber State University, successfully demonstrated specific essential oils diffused in a closed chamber killed every virus tested within minutes. Of 74 Young Living single essential oils tested, lemongrass, Roman chamomile, cinnamon, rose, valerian and yarrow scored the highest kill rates.

Specific Young Living blends of essential oils, like the Thieves blend demonstrated a 99.6% kill rate against airborne bacteria and scored high for its antiviral qualities and anti-fungal qualities.

Diffusing essential oils in the home or work place is one of the best ways to purify our environment. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils, along with the negative ions and oxygenating molecules that are released when essential oils are diffused.

Cinnamon bark oil, oregano oil, and Thieves oil were all tested by Weber State University, and were shown to kill 100% of the airborne bacteria present when diffused into the atmosphere. (KID-Radio with Lance Richardson and Dr. Gary Young, ND, March 5, 1996).

By diffusing essential oils, or applying them topically to targeted areas of the body, therapeutic constituents reestablish balance where stress or mental discomfort has disrupted healthy emotional function.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Aromatherapy is the inhalation of plant oils, called essential oils. The simple act of breathing, inhaling, the scent of therapeutic-grade essential oil can be for such purposes as; improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Essential oils are the pure essence of the plant—often referred to as nature’s living energy—and can provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly. Essential oils can be used on their own for aromatherapy or with complementary natural ingredients, such as vegetable or a carrier oil when applied to the skin.

The Science of Aromatherapy

When a Young Living essential oil is diffused, it’s inhaled and processed through the olfactory system, which then sends the therapeutic benefits of the aroma to the brain. Depending on the specific constituents in the essential oil, you may begin to feel the release of negative emotions, the soothing of undue muscle tension, or experience the cleansing effect of the oils as your body eliminates toxins. More on Olfactory.

Aromatherapy for Improved Health and Wellness

Aromatherapy is one of many ways you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. When practicing aromatherapy it’s vital that only pure, undiluted essential oils are used. Synthetic, perfume-grade products lack the necessary level of beneficial constituents and offer little or no positive effect.

Only by diffusing pure Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils can you create a proper mood, state of mind, or improve your physical well-being. More on distinguishing high quality from poor.

Moms Medical Fund Raiser, Life or Death

 Choosing Alternative Medicine not Chemo to treat Cancer

Hi Everyone. Please scroll to the end for monthly updates and oil regime

It is with great sadness in my heart that I write this blog request.  It is regarding my mom, Ann Taylor, who has been my teacher, my guider, and my best friend for 50 years. I would not be the person I am today if she hadn’t taught me all of the stand up morals, ethics, and work integrity that she did.

She is currently sick, again, with a difficult, aggressive advanced form of metastatic cancer.  This is her 5th bout with a cancer, she kicked butt the 1st 4 times.

When she was diagnosed last month, she was told no chemo would work; traditional medicine had nothing to offer her. The oncologist was going to give her a shot of “something like Fosamax”,  and  give her a shot of an estrogen blocker.  That’s it.

She has been a strong believer in alternative medicine for the last 20 years, since her 1st. original diagnosis of cancer.  She turned her life around… ate the correct things, bought organic top of the line herbs, vitamins and supplements, went to see Holistic doctors.  It did work, and that 1st cancer did not return, or better put, was not discovered, until just last month, 20 years later.  She did, in the interim, suffer from an acute case of Leukemia and on 2 separate occasions was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma that had spread to her lymph nodes.  Working vigorously, these cancers were researched and cured, and we thought she was home free.  We now suspect that the chemo used during the Acute Leukemia treatment opened the door for that 1st cancer to return by totally wiping out her immune system, almost killing her, & that is no exageration.

Since Chemo was not an option for my mom, I researched 22 hours a day for 1 week straight, making many calls to many doctors in alternative holistic centers and clinics to find a path for my mom that realistically would give her a chance to beat this thing.  It is very difficult to find these hidden clinics that are not “spas” or just “anti-aging” clinics, but instead are real places taking real people with real life threatening emergent conditions, like metastatic cancer.

While researching, I sent her many bottles of Young Living Essential Oils to use orally and topically until I could find her the right place to go to.  She used Frankincense, Orange, Idaho Balsam Fir, Sandalwood, Juva Tone and Juva Flexa few times a day.  All were oral except topical Juva flex applied over the liver.

I discovered an absolutely amazing clinic in southern California, run by Dr. Ferre Akbarpour, called the Orange County Immune Center.  Here is a hyperlink to her home page:  http://www.drferre.com/doctors/index.htm     Dr. Ferre and all her staff are amazing people full of tremendous knowledge, warmth and hope.  I had 2 amazing conversations with them, & my mom felt confident this was the place for her.  This is where my mom went, and currently is. It is an outpatient Clinic, so she is staying a few miles away at a hotel that costs $109.00 a day. She will be there until Nov. 30, 2011.  The problem is that none of this is covered by insurance.  Absolutely none.  The cost is $5,900.00 per week at the Immune Center, plus 2 cab rides a day, the monthly hotel bill, dinner 7x a week, breakfast and lunch 2 days a week.  There was the $700.00 airfare to get her there on 2 days notice, the cost for some food to keep in her room, and most importantly, the $1,800.00+ cost of supplements and medications she will need to take monthly for probably the rest of her life.  All this while being retired and living solely on Social Security.

What I feel safe putting online where the FDA & other government agencies can read it is that Dr. Ferre’s clinic will optimize my mom’s immune system and natural killer cells using many modalities and supplements, including some German Technology, which her’s is the only place in the USA that I could find using this amazing technology,  This is our only hope, our only chance that she will see her grandchildren get married and have their own children, that she will live a good long time.  She realized this was her only chance, and although she knew she had to pay for everything, she did it anyway.  My mom is not ready to leave this earth, it is not her time.  It’s so sad that Traditional Medicine had nothing to offer her, and that insurance does not pay for what will help her.  Insurance will Pay $1 million to kill her in the hospital, but not $59 thousand to allow her to live disease free a good long time.  Does this remotely make any sense to anyone?  Well it doesn’t to me.  Dr. Ferre treats many different illnesses, but your records must be sent and reviewed, and if she does not feel she can help you, she does not accept you as a patient, she’s not a gold digger who just takes peoples money.  She is a highly skilled doctor of the utmost integrity, who will only accept patients she fully believes she can help.

We have set up Annie’s Fund, a collection fund for my mom to help cover the expenses incurred by choosing an Alternative Medicine path not covered at all by insurance, and to help pay for what Dr. Ferre will prescribe for her upon discharge, which she has been told will cost $1,000.00+ a month, most likely for the rest of her life.  I will continue to cover the cost of her Young Living Oils for as long as I can, which hopefully will not run $600+ per month after some time.

We are good people, hard working, with good hearts.  We have both given anything we had to anyone who needed our help in any way.  My hope is that all the good works my mom has “paid forward”, will now come back when she needs it most in the form of good people assisting her financially to live.  This is, in fact, a matter of life or death.  We have never done anything like this before, but there is no way around this money problem, and the thought of my mom dying over not having enough money for her med’s , suppliments, compounded medicines and YL Oils is not something I can sit idly by and do nothing about.  So, I’m reaching out to all of you that know me and my integrity, to ask for financial help for my mom.  If you know someone else with a generous giving heart, or someone who greatly supports Alternative Health Care, please print this out and show them my mom’s fight to live and beat the pulp out of this cancer.  I will happily explain more to you privately, buy need to be very very careful about writing about cancer cures on the internet, especially if it involves Alternative medicine.

It’s not that I don’t have faith in the Young Living Essential Oils to do their job, it’s that we are very pressed for time, and some diagnosis’s are so complicated they need a wise alternative doctor to sort it out, prioritize it, and get their hands on this German treatment which we as individuals can’t do.

The Donation fund has been set up through PayPal in 2 ways.  If you would like to contribute, you can send any donations through the Give Forward website,  http://www.giveforward.com/anniesalternativecancertreatment  or directly to PayPal at amisunsets@verizon.net, or you can mail them to me at:

Please feel free to contact me directly for more information at tammybaile@comcast.net

Please be aware that the FDA is very touchy about what you write about Cancer and curing it with Alternative Medicine, and that I am not trying to be evasive in any way about my mom’s cancer or treatment, I just want to be sure I don’t write something that may get Dr. Ferre or Young Living in trouble.

I thank ALL of you for taking the time to read this, and I hope any of you that can spare any amount of a donation will look into your loving and giving hearts and feel comfortable making a donation.

Thank you for any and all support and prayers.

May God Bless you.

                   Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is.  The way we cope with it & what we do with it is what makes the difference.   
 

Hi Everyone. Today is Dec. 1, 2011. My mom came home late last night. I can’t wait to talk to her today & hear the summation of improvement since her visit to Dr. Ferre. My mom described herself yesterday as looking & feeling “vibrant”! I don’t know about you, but those of us not battling cancer don’t describe ourselves as vibrant, so I was thrilled beyond belief to hear my mom say that about herself. I’ll update again in a few days when I know her newest test results! Thanks for reading this & standing by us in this difficult time of need.

2/5/12  Annies Cancer update.

 Hi Everyone.  I’m writing to you today to update you on my mom’s, dare I say “winning” battle against Stage 4  Metastatic to liver and bones Breast Cancer.  

FEBRUARY 5TH, 2012

Hi everyone.  Mom is taking her supplements from Dr. Ferre in Ca., which are costing about $1,800.00 a month, and  I put her on a regime of Young Living Essential Oils costing about $500.00 a month, starting in  December 2011, consisting of Frankincense, Orange, Tsuga, Sandalwood, Idaho Balsam Fir , Ledum & Copaiba.  She had bloodwork drawn Dec. 1st, & Dec. 21st.  In those 3 weeks, the same 3 weeks that she started on & was taking the Young Living  essential Oils, her tumor markers dropped 100 points!!!!  Yes, 100 points!  To date they had not previously dropped.  I think we finally broke the code & are on the road to a recovery, God willing.  Her oncologist, when seeing the newest blood work results, said, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but it’s clearly working, so don’t stop”!   How amazing is that.  We are so excited.  Hopefully February’s labs will show another dramatic decrease in her tumor markers!!  The regime of oils I decided to give her are based on reading all the Young living information I could find, and is listed below.  As a fun note, mom has started playing Bocce once a week, something we did together all the time in my teenage years.  Last week she played and WON 2 games in the weekly tournament!  Go mom!

The below protocol of oils were picked by me because they work on cancer AND to cleanse the liver, where she has cancer lesions.

Young Living ORAL ESSENTIAL OILS REGIME:  most put into NingXia Red:

Frankincense:  20-22 drops in NingXia Red 2 x a day (totaling 40-44 drops a day)

Sandalwood:  20 drops 1 x a day (used every other month for cell confusion)

Orange: 2/3 of a 15 ml. bottle daily as 1 single dose for 1 week on, 2 weeks off attempting to confuse the cancer cells

Tsuga:  10 drops 1 x daily

Idaho Balsam Fir:  10 drops 1 x daily

Copaiba:  10 drops 1 x daily, 2 x a day if I can get her to.

*NOTE:  We swtitched the Frankincense with Sacred Frankincense every 10 days, as the 15ml bottles ran out, attempting to confuse the cancer cells.

We did this as a 3 week on, 1 week off regime.

*Note:  for about 2-3 weeks before we started the above oral regime, we did a liver cleanse consisting of applying JuvaFlex, JuvaCleanse & Tsuga Topically, taking nothing internally during this except JuvaCleanse.

Young Living TOPICAL ESSENTIAL OILS:  a few drops layered or mixed together topically over Liver a few times a day.

Tsuga

JuvaFlex

Idaho Balsam Fir

JuvaCleanse

Ledum

Starting in February, I will be switching out the Tsuga, and adding Myrtle in place of it, again,  attempting to confuse the cancer cells.

This article is not intended to diagnose or treat any illness, and was written for informational purposes only.  Seek proper medical advise if you think you have cancer from a properly trained physician.  Additionally, ALL oils mentioned refer only to Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.

Jan. 2012 Update

The Young Living Essential Oils and NingXia Red are profounly affecting my mom’s life.  She has more energy now then she did before adding the NingXia Red and oils to her daily routine.  As examples, 1 day she cleaned out her entire garage;  1 day she scrubbed 2 bathroom floors, kitchen floor and outside lenai’ floor on her hands and knees, and when done, she felt energized, not wiped out!  Every day she calls me with stories like this.  I’m writing this in Feb. 2012, and can tell you that during her 1 week off, which turned into 2 weeks due to a YL shipment delay, she was not energetic at all, and wanted/needed rest periods/naps during the day.  Go Young Living!

December 2011 Update

Merry Christmas!!!

2 days before my mom left the clinic in California (Nov. 28) , they drew blood that was sent to a lab in Germany for “Chemo sensitivity Testing”.  that test takes the cancer cells & exposes them to different Chemo drugs to see which if any would work on the cancer.

Well, guess what  ~~  I advise you to sit down ~~  the lab could not run the test because ALL THE CANCER CELLS WERE GONE FROM HER BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That’s right, no cancer cells in her blood!  She’s having another blood test done next week to specifically test the breast cancer markers.  If that too comes back low, then dare I say it….. did she beat this damn metastatic cancer in 30 days?  She will still need to take the supplements from Dr. Ferre, but who cares… she’ll be alive & well to take them.

She goes for an MRI in early March.  The doctor feels that waiting until then gives the treatment enough time to hopefully have rid her liver & bones of the cancer as well.

We are all so very very excited.  I want to thank all of you that have prayed & supported my mom during this difficult & trying time, & please don’t stop the prayers!

I look forward to my next update, & I hope I’ll be able to give you more good news

Until then, Merry Christmas everyone!  I know ours will now be much Merrier!  And thank you to Cathy & Blayne for their donations, you’ll never know the depth of our gratitude  :-)

Outside of Lavender, therapeutic-grade Lemon essential oil is perhaps one of the most versatile and useful oils to have around the home. Lemon oil can be used for everything from aromatherapy to flavoring water, to making your own uplifting bath salts to cleaning produce. Lemon oil has been widely used in skin care to cleanse skin and reduce wrinkles. It promotes clarity of thought and purpose, as well as health, healing, physical energy, and purification. Its fragrance is invigorating, enhancing, and warming. Lemon (Citrus limon) essential oil has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind.Lemon Essential Oil

Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of lemon essential oil – use it sparingly when flavoring beverages or foods. In his book, “The Practice of Aromatherapy”, Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.

University researchers in Japan found that diffusing certain aromas in an office environment dramatically improved mental accuracy and concentration. Diffused Lemon oil resulted in 54 percent fewer errors! Diffuse for 10 minutes every hour. When aromas were diffused during test taking, scores increased by as much as 50 percent.

A 1995 Mie University study found that citrus fragrances boosted immunity, induced relaxation, and reduced depression.

Medical Properties of Lemon Essential Oil: Antitumoral, antiseptic, improves microcirculation, and immune stimulant (increases white blood cells), improves memory, relaxation. Rich in limonene, which has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies.

34 Amazing Ways To Use Lemon Essential Oil

  1. To clean non-carpeted floors, add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Then add 5 – 10 drops of lemon, pine, or spruce essential oil. If the floor is especially dirty, add several drops of dish washing soap. This will clean even the dirtiest floor.
  2. To make a carpet freshener, add 16 – 20 drops of essential oils to 1 cup of baking soda or borax powder. Mix ingredients together well and place in a covered container overnight so that the essential oil can be absorbed. Sprinkle over carpet then vacuum the powder up.
  3. You may also put 3-7 drops of Lemon essential oil on a cotton ball and place it into a vacuum bag – doing this scents the air while vacuuming. If your vacuum collects the dirt into water, simply add a few drops into the water reservoir before vacuuming. This refreshes both the carpet and acts as an air freshener.
  4. Some essential oils can act as gentle stimulants to the limbic system of the brain by their scent, increasing alertness and concentration enhancing the capacity for learning, improving memory, and assisting many other cognitive functions. A wide range of essential oils offer these benefits, such as: Lemon, Peppermint, Rosemary and Melissa. To help increase these functions simply inhale the chosen essential oil directly from the bottle or put a drop on a tissue and keep in your pocket for use throughout the day.
  5. Use 1–2 drops to remove gum, oil, grease, grease spots, glue and adhesives, and crayon from most surfaces. Tip: try a test area before to make sure you won’t ruin any finishes.
  6. Substitute lemon oil for lemon juice or lemon seasonings to flavor seafood, vegetables, beverages, and desserts. To use Lemon oil in place of the zest of “one” lemon – use 8 to 14 drops of Young Living Lemon essential oil. More on Cooking with Essential Oils.
  7. Combine 2–3 drops with water in a 4oz. spray bottle filled with water to help cleanse and sanitize kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
  8. Soothe or prevent corns, callous, or bunions by rubbing 1-2 drops of Lemon oil on the affected area, morning and evening.*
  9. Fill a bowl with cold water, add 2–3 drops of Lemon oil, and drench fruit and vegetables in the lemon water to extend the shelf life of fresh produce.
  10. Add a drop to your dishwasher before the wash cycle for spot-free dishes.
  11. Lemon has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. According Jean Valnet, M.D., the vaporized [diffused] essence of lemon can kill meningococcus bacteria in 15 minutes, typhoid bacilli in one hour, Staphylococcus aureus in two hours, and Pneumococcus bacteria within three hours. Even a 0.2% solution of Lemon oil can kill diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate tuberculosis bacteria. More on diffusers and diffusing.
  12. Lemon has been shown to have antidepressant effects in research done by Komori, et al.,1995. Diffuse or inhale Lemon oil to receive the benefits of aromatherapy.
  13. Lemon oil may help brighten a pale, dull complexion by removing the dead skin cells. Simply mix a drop with your cleanser to help promote healthier skin tone.
  14. Lemon oil can serve as an effective insect repellent. See recipe for making your own beeswax mosquito candle.
  15. Rub a drop of Lemon oil on a wart morning and night, may help it to disappear.*
  16. Rub 1-3 drops of Lemon oil to clean a butcher’s block or other cutting surfaces to disinfect those surfaces.
  17. Add one teaspoon of lemon essential oil to one-cup mineral oil for an effective furniture polish.

  24. Diffuse Lemon essential oil to freshen the air in your home or office.
  25. Add 1-2 drops Young Living Lemon oil to a glass of water, tastes yummy, no calories, and alkalizes the water. Tip: only use a glass glass as Lemon oil WILL dissolve items made from petrochemicals and styrofoam.**
  26. Soak kitchen dishcloth overnight in a bowl of water with a drop of Lemon oil to disinfect and kill germs.
  27. Rub a drop of Lemon oil on your hands after using a public bathroom to sanitize hands.*

  31. Heartburn is a burning pain felt behind the breastbone. It is most often the result of acid reflux, that is, when stomach acid rises up the esophagus where it irritates the lining. Lemon essential oil (which comes from the rind, not the pulp) is one of the best remedies for heartburn, as it causes the stomach to stop excreting digestive acids. Simply add a drop or two of Lemon oil to a small glass of water and drink.** More on AlkaLime, pH and Heartburn.

,16 oz. purified water
, 20 drops YL Mineral Essence
, 1 drop YL Lemon oil

, 1 teaspoon YL Blue Agave. Mix ingredients together in a glass bottle (I like to re-use my empty NingXia Red bottles to keep my water and mixes in, they’re nice sturdy bottles). You can make a more watered down version for the kids. More on NingXia Red and Electrolyte Drinks.
  34. Refreshing Bacteria Killing Spray: You’ll need - 32 oz. spray bottle, 8 drops Spearmint oil, 8 drops Lemon oil, 6 drops Lavender oil, 6 drops Thyme oil, 6 drops Rosemary oil, 4 drops Eucalyptus globulus, and water. Fill spray bottle 7/8 of the way with water, add your Young Living essential oils.
