Longevity

A powerful essence connects us to the spiritual, to the divine. A sacred fragrance can open pathways, encourage self-love, and clear distractions. Now our hearts can communicate with that which is holy. Now our minds can hear the whisper of peace that will bring us comfort and enlightenment.

Embarking on a spiritual journey of transformation by aligning and balancing your energy through the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils is a powerful way to bring yourself into emotional balance. Integrating awareness of the physical through the application of these essential oil blends from Young Living Essential Oils formulated to help you attain a higher spiritual frequency.

For centuries, spiritual seekers have used essential oils, incense and fragrances to help them focus and create sacred spaces that enhanced their ability to connect with the Divine. It is an interesting fact that diverse ancient cultures that had no way of mingling chose many of the same fragrances and aromatherapy oils to intensify their communion with the Spiritual Realm.

The essential oils listed below are Young Living blends that are specifically chosen to enhance a person’s ability to become more aware and receptive to Spirit. These blends are believed to possess vibrational frequencies that affect the physical and energetic bodies, removing blocks and balancing energies to experience greater “vision” or to “hear” with more clarity. The frequencies of these oils enhance perceptions that enable you to feel a greater Oneness with Spirit.

7 Aromatherapy Oil Blends to Enhance Awareness and Accelerate Connection with Divine Self

Inspiration – creates a sacred space for communication; opens the heart and mind, enabling you to ask for direction and increases your ability to hear the answers; a combination of oils used by native people in the East and North America for increasing spirituality and enhancing prayer, meditation and inner awareness.
  6. Sacred Mountain – a blend of oils extracted from conifers which represent the sacred feeling of the mountains; protection, strength and security; represents the sacred space, the point of communication between the human and the Divine; creates physical and emotional alignments to access your divinity and communicate at the spiritual level.

  7. White Angelica – a combination of oils used during ancient times to increase the aura; shields against the bombardment of negative energy; used to “seal” you to your spiritual path.

5 Ways to Use Aromatherapy in Your Practice

  1. Inhalation: this is perhaps the simplest way to gain benefits from aromatherapy. open the bottle and either inhale directly or place a drop in your palm, rub palms together, then cup palms over the nose and inhale deeply a few times.
  2. Diffusing: put several drops of your chosen aromatherapy oil in your diffuser, diffuse 15-30 minutes, 3-4 times a day. More on Diffusers and Diffusing.
  3. Topical: place a drop or two of your chosen essential oil on pulse points, Chakras, or on the soles of the feet.
  4. Massage: combining massage with essential oils is one way to get powerful releasing results. Mix 4-7 drops of your chosen essential oil with 2 TBSP of a carrier oil, such as V-6 Massage Oil.
  5. Bath: mix 4 drops of your chosen essential oil with 1 cup of Epsom Salts or Sea Salt, pour salt mixture under running bath water, soak for 20 minutes.

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.

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.

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  :-)

Cinnamon Bark Essential OilAn analysis of eight studies investigating the effects of cinnamon bark on fasting blood glucose (FBG) has yielded very positive results. The studies, which came from sources such as Biosis, PubMed and the American Diabetes Association, demonstrate a link between cinnamon supplementation and significantly lowered FBG levels.

Elevated FBG levels are believed to contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that there are nearly 26 million diabetics in the United States alone, and the disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the country. Click here to read more about the meta-analysis of the studies.

More on Cinnamon and Lowering Blood Sugar

Excerpt from the study:

Meta-analysis Demonstrates that Cinnamon Lowers Fasting Blood Glucose

Davis PA, Yokoyama W. Cinnamon intake lowers fasting blood glucose: meta-analysis. J Med Food. April 2011; [epub ahead of print]. doi:10.1089/jmf.2010.0180.

“Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) bark has been used around the world as a spice and also in traditional Chinese medicine. Cinnamon bark contains a high amount of the broadly bioactive and antioxidant compounds known as procyanidins. Cinnamon preparations have been well-studied for their ability to lower fasting blood glucose (FBG) concentrations and for its impacts on insulin concentrations and signaling, both important metabolic parameters in the assessment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previous meta-analyses conducted on this research have concluded that such research is inconclusive or reported no significant effects; however, since these meta-analyses were published, 3 new clinical studies with large populations and/or long treatment periods have been completed. As a result, this paper consists of a meta-analysis of the effect of cinnamon on FBG including the new papers.

To obtain studies, the search terms used were “cinnamon” and “glucose” in addition to related words. Databases searched included Biosis, PubMed, and 2010 abstracts for the American Diabetes Association and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. The authors included randomized, placebo-controlled studies that reported results of long-term use of cinnamon bark powder or cinnamon bark extract on FBG.

The results of the meta-analysis show that cinnamon and cinnamon extract supplementation significantly lowered FBG (-0.49 ± 0.2 mmol/L [8.77 ± 3.52 mg/dL], P=0.025, n=8). Cinnamon extract alone also significantly lowered FBG (-0.48 ± 0.17 mmol/L [8.7 ± 3.10 mg/dL], P=0.008, n=5). Funnel plot analysis revealed only limited publication bias.

The authors conclude that, “The results of [this] meta-analysis show that the intake of cinnamon/cinnamon extract by type 2 diabetics or prediabetics does lower their blood glucose significantly, albeit modestly.” Although the hypoglycemic activity of cinnamon is comparable with metformin, the conventional pharmaceutical drug frequently prescribed for patients with T2DM), more mechanistic work is needed to definitively use cinnamon alongside this drug for diabetes therapy. Furthermore, no distinction was made concerning the type of extracts used in the studies. Water extracts may be preferable since they exclude nonpolar compounds with known toxicity (the newly included studies used a water extract of cinnamon).” ~ Amy C. Keller, PhD

Sadly High Cholesterol has become a medical crisis in the USA, and now includes children as young as 3 years old.  High Cholesterol creates a lengthy list of additional medical conditions, most of which have little to no outward signs, so it very easily becomes a silent killer.  One day you feel fine, the next day you could be in the ER being told you need bypass surgery or a roto-ruter of your heart’s arteries.  Many lifestyle choices we make every day contribute to our high cholesterol, however, it can also be genetically caused.

Part 3 of this series will focus on natural alternative choices you might want to consider adding to your daily regime as part of your lifestyle changes.  This article is not intended to diagnose or treat any illness or disease, and is provided for informational purposes only.

SALT LAKE CITY—July 14, 2011—Researchers in Iran have conducted a clinical trial investigating the effects of sage leaf extract on hyperlipidemia. This condition consists of abnormally elevated levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides and other factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of men and women in the United States with about 500,000 people dying from the disease each year.

The study demonstrated some exciting potential wellness benefits of sage, with participants’ triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol dropping even as their HDL (good) cholesterol levels increased.  HC 061151-427, Date: June 30, 2011

RE: Sage Leaf Extract  May Be Safe and Effective in Treating hyperlipidemia.

Kianbakht S, Abasi B, Perham M, Hashem Dabaghian F. Antihyperlipidemic effects of Salvia officinalis L. leaf extract in patients with hyperlipidemia: a randomized doubleblind placebo-controlled clinical trial. Phytother Res. Apr 2011; [epub ahead of print]. doi:10.1002/ptr.3506.

Hyperlipidemia (abnormally elevated blood lipids or lipoprotein—total and low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein [VLDL], triglycerides, and chylomicrons) can cause cardiovascular disease. Primary hyperlipidemia is caused by genetic mutations, and is divided into 3 categories: hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and combined hyperlipidemia (elevated total cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreased high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol). Alternative treatments are required because some patients are resistant to current treatments.

Sage, (Salvia officinalis) has antihyperlipidemic effects in vitro. There is only 1 pilot clinical study that evaluates lipid levels other than blood triglyceride and VLDL. Hence, the purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sage leaf extract in treating primary hyperlipidemia.  Patients included in this study had  total cholesterol levels = 240-300 mg/dL At baseline and at study end, blood was collected, and levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, VLDL, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, creatinine, and liver enzymes (serum glutamic-oxaloacetictransaminase [SGOT] and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) were measured.

At study end, sage treatment reduced total cholesterol by 19.6%, triglycerides by 22.8%, LDL by 19.7%, and VLDL by 13.3% compared with baseline.

Sage increased HDL levels by 20.2% compared with baseline. This effect was significantly different from placebo: There was no significant effect on SGOT, SGPT, and creatinine levels. The authors conclude that since sage had no significant effects on SGOT, SGPT, and creatinine, it would not produce liver or kidney toxicity. Sage leaves had favorable effects on a variety of lipids. Thus, sage leaves may be useful for treating hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.

What does this study mean?  In non medical speak, this study showed that 500 mg. of sage taken 3 times a day for 2 months DECREASED total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol by 19.6-22.2% in only 2 months!  Additionally, HDH, good cholesterol was increased by 20.2%!  On top of that, NO ILL EFFECTS occurred on the liver or kidneys!  None!

The medical community and government are also studying the positive effects of Essential Oils on high cholesterol.  Here are some of their governmental findings. 

Lemongrass Essential oil lowers cholesterol.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21693164 

Mint Essential Oil found to lower cholesterol:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20931070 

Ginger Essential oil found to lower cholesterol:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21846199 

Fish Oil found to lower cholesterol:  University of Maryland:  People who follow a Mediterranean-style diet tend to have higher HDL or “good” cholesterol levels, which help promote heart health. Inuit Eskimos, who get high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from eating fatty fish, also tend to have increased HDL cholesterol and decreased triglycerides (fats in the blood). Several studies have shown that fish oil supplements reduce triglyceride levels. Finally, walnuts (which are rich in alpha linolenic acid or LNA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid) have been reported to lower total cholesterol and triglycerides in people with high cholesterol levels.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19416695

Garlic Essential oil found to lower cholesterol:  In 1998, studies at Penn State identified a group of chemicals in garlic that reduce the production of cholesterol by your liver. These tests showed that fresh garlic and aged garlic were both effective at reducing LDL cholesterol levels http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17594659

Lets move on to the pure, organic Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and Products Young Living offers that address high cholesterol. 

Omega Blue™  Product Summary:

Omega Blue is a clinically proven dose of omega-3 (EPA, DHA, ALA) fatty acid nutrients blended with Young Living’s therapeutic-grade Omega Enhance™ blend. Omega Enhance protects the omega-3 fats from oxidation while supplying the activity of the legendary blue (German) chamomile, myrrh, lemongrass, and clove essential oils.

Product Story

There are good fats and bad fats. Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in fish oil are among the best good fats. Volumes of research confirm that omega-3 fats reduce systemic-inflammation and support  ardiovascular, joint, eye and brain health.* While eating more fish is one way to consume these essential fatty acids, it is important to note that fish is often polluted with mercury and other toxins. A great alternative to fish is to supplement daily with Omega Blue. Not only does this product provide a clinically proven dose of pure, un-concentrated fish oil, it is free from mercury and other toxins. In addition to high-quality  fish oils, Omega Blue contains our proprietary Omega Enhance essential oil blend with legendary blue (German) chamomile and myrrh oil to support a healthy inflammatory response.* Lemongrass oil provides cardiovascular protection and supports healthy cholesterol levels, while clove and myrrh oil provide added antioxidant support.* The Omega Enhance blend strengthens omega-3 fats and makes Omega Blue at least ten times more stable than other fish oils.

A naturally sweet, indigestible fiber derived from chicory roots, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) are one of the best-documented, natural nutrients for promoting the growth of Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria bacteria, a key to sound health. FOS has also been clinically studied for its ability to increase magnesium and calcium absorption, lower blood glucose, cholesterol, and LDL levels, and to inhibit production of the reductase enzymes that can contribute to cancer. Because FOS can increase magnesium absorption, it can also lead to lowered blood pressure and better cardiovascular health.

JuvaTone JuvaTone is a special herbal complex designed to support the liver. The liver is one of the most important organs of the body. It purifies the blood and is a key to converting carbohydrates to energy. An overtaxed liver may affect our energy, digestion, and skin. Fats and bile within the liver can easily become oversaturated with oil-soluble toxins, synthetic chemicals, and heavy metals. As toxins build, the liver becomes taxed and stressed, resulting in aggravating skin conditions, rashes, fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, digestive disturbances, pallor, dizziness, irritability, mood swings, and mental confusion. The liver also plays a major role in helping the body detoxify. The final products of digestion are transported through the portal vein from the colon to the liver to be cleansed.  Choline bitartrate has been used in the treatment of many liver disorders, including elevated cholesterol levels, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis.

Super B Super B is a comprehensive source of the B vitamins essential for good health, including, thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), vitamin B12, biotin, folic acid, and PABA. It also includes minerals that aid the assimilation and metabolism of B vitamins.  Niacin is essential for turning carbo hydrates into energy. It lowers cholesterol and helps regulate blood sugar. At least 4.4 mg are needed for every 1,000 calories consumed to avoid pellagra. 

Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) improves circulation and reduces blood viscosity. It is anticoagulant, regulates cholesterol, stimulates liver cell function, and reduces plaque deposits from the veins and arteries. 

CardiaCare:  Nutritionally strengthens and supports the heart and cardiovascular system. 

EndoGize A daily supplement expressly formulated to support and maintain a healthy and balanced endocrine system in women.  Contains many ingredients, including but not limited to Phosphatidylcholine, which makes cholesterol more soluble and less able to cause hardening of the arteries. 

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) reduces indigestion and helps regulate cholesterol. It is also antifungal, antiparasitic, antibacterial and helps cleanse the liver. 

Grapefruit Essential Oil:  Israeli scientists may have discovered an effective new way to treat high cholesterol and diabetes naturally. Dr. Yaakov Nahmias from the Benin School of Engineering and Computer Science at Hebrew University and his colleagues have discovered that naringenin, a molecule in grapefruits that gives the fruit its bitter taste, can help to treat arteriosclerosis, hyper-metabolism, and even diabetes.  The study, which was recently published in the journal PLoS One, explains that when a highly-bioavailable ‘nano-complex’ of naringenin is consumed just before a meal that is high in fat and sugar, it can reduce the development of bad cholesterol by roughly 42 percent, and actually increase insulin sensitivity by 64 percent.

As you can see, Young living offers many natural alternative Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil products that promote lowering your cholesterol, along with a healthier lifestyle and food choices.  If you choose to go through the fast food drive through a few times a week, I suspect not much will help you lower your cholesterol, whether you’re taking a prescription or using a natural product.  Essential Oils do not come with a laundry list of side effects like cholesterol lowering prescriptions do!

I find it very interesting that our government has published well over 300 studies on using Essential Oils to lower cholesterol with positive outcomes.  I find this funny because they are using dried herbs in their studies,  not pure therapeutic grade essential oils.  Can you imagine how many more positive studies they would have if they were using Young living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, the real deal, instead of dried herbs with very little essential oil left in them?  I feel positive that they manipulate their results to continue to support the pharmaceutical industry, as no one in any part of our goverment wants to see the big pharmaceutical companies go broke.

I apologize for the length of these 3 cholesterol articles.  I wanted to give you all the information possible so that you can make a well informed choice when deciding what to do about your high cholesterol.

According to MedlinePlus, “When crying [colick] lasts for longer than about three hours a day and is not caused by a medical problem (such as a hernia or infection), it is called colic. This phenomenon occurs in almost all babies. The only thing that differs is the degree.”

No one understands yet what makes a baby colicky but in a recent NY Times column by Anahad O’Connor it appears that perhaps we do know and just maybe the wise thing is prevention. The article states…

A 2009 study, for example, found that colicky babies had gastrointestinal inflammation and traces of a bacterium in their guts that may have prompted it. Babies without colic had no inflammation and a greater diversity of beneficial bacteria. Read the rest of this entry »

ImmuPro melatonin supplementEven during summertime our immune systems can get worn down leaving us more susceptible to summer colds and feeling rundown. When your immune system is worn down, try ImmuPro™!

ImmuPro™ provides the benefits of natural immune-supporting Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides in the convenience of a delicious fruit-flavored chewable supplement.

Beta glucan has been shown in studies to enhance the immune system’s response and to help maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. ImmuPro contains organic reishi and maitake mushrooms, which support the activity of antibodies and natural killer cells. Numerous studies have documented the ability of these botanicals to reverse cancer and stimulate both cell-mediated and humoral immunity, dramatically boosting levels of macrophages, neutrophiles, phagocytes, B-cells, T-cells, natural killer cells, interleukins, and inter ferons.This formula is enhanced with calcium, zinc, selenium, and copper, all needed for proper immune function. ImmuPro™ also contains melatonin, one of the most powerful immune stimulants known, shown to clinically reverse tumor growth. Melatonin levels steadily decrease with age and are a factor that contributes to accelerated aging.*

“ImmuPro™ has beta glucans in it and you need that for digestive processes.” ~ Gary Young, founder Young Living Essential Oils.

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

Heart healthy fruits and vegetablesHormones that increase with age, such as cortisol can also contribute to many age-related chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, abdominal obesity and blood sugar imbalances. Lowering cortisol levels not only increases immunity but also increases insulin sensitivity and enhances fat metabolism.

One of the most easy-to-understand examples of the detrimental effects of cell membrane brittleness (aging) occurs in the blood vessel walls. As the blood vessels lose their flexibility, the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) increases, as does the incidence of arteriosclerosis.

Taking measures to reduce stress, exercise, avoiding vitamin and mineral deficiencies with proper supplementation, and enjoying the relaxing effects of aromatherapy can help you get better control of your health.
