<Interesting but I looked at your website, ridiculously expensive as a commercial promotion. I don't see why its price is in the stratosphere compared to plain old aromatherapy that ordinary people can afford. And I'm sure good diet is far more effective in maintaining good health and mental outlook.

Hey, Paul,

I know that you, of all people, know that you "get what you pay for" in terms 
of food and health.  Cheap distillation methods, additive adulteration, and synthetic 
reproduction of fragrances make most aromatherapy oils smell good - and poisonous.  
They are the equivalent of factory-raised food.

Young Living Essential Oils and the Raindrop Training are both worth their weight in gold, because the oils really heal people, and the training helps you use them to their best effect. The level of training in what you called "a commercial promotion" is far more than selling the company's product.  The use of fragrances in our daily lives is a lost art - one our ancestors did every day without being aware that rose petals in their bear grease, thyme and cedar in their closets and lavender in their soap were actually healing them continually. The flowers on their tables that have been replaced by plastic, the gardening that has been replaced by playing video games and the lab fragrances in all our body care products are not health -neutral. They are destructive. 

Radical diet change  is the core for improving health - but when we hit a 
plateau where better food could do no more, learning about the therapeutic 
value of essential oils opened up a whole new level of health and well-being.

I'd love to see our living on the land companions growing the plants needed 
to make therapeutic-grade oils more widely available and affordable.  It 
takes a lot of roses to make a tiny bit of rose oil - hence the steep price 
tag!

All the best to you,
Laurie Ann
