Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Carrie Shepard <carrieshepard@yahoo.com>]

It's very important to know where your information is coming from and this 
huge difference in opinion is why I didn't get more healing faster.  Too much 
contradictory info on the net.

Please don't slander or liable using Young Living oils neat as in raindrop or 
raindrop practitioners until you've had one yourself.  Using YL oils neat has 
brought a LOT of healing to me and my family and many others.  The only 
reasons for not being able to use their oils neat are perhaps photosensitivy 
(don't put those oils on skin that's going to be exposed to sunshine) and 
adulterated oils.

Everyone I've given raindrop too has really liked it -- even one who had a 
lot of skin issues due to being a hit and run survivor and tons of 
pharmaceuticals, and several who had severe detox headaches the night 
following, but felt tremendously better all over once they headache went 
away, but neither one drink enough water.  These people are all healthier 
today.  One wants me to teach her raindrop this week because she is 
recovering from mold in their home and candida and her skin was awful when I 
gave her her first raindrop about a month ago.  She's doing some other things 
as well, but obviously got so much out of that one raindrop that she now 
wants to know how to give raindrop!                                        

My understanding is that the people who actually wrote the 'white paper' have 
actually NEVER even had a raindrop.  Have YOU ever experienced a raindrop?

I've had a number of them and given somewhere around a hundred and if this 
white paper were true, I'd already be poisoned by the wintergreen or some 
such other nonsense.  I won't touch any other company's wintergreen, that's 
for sure.  People I've given raindrops to are healthier and happier. Several 
have gotten their lives in order, gone back to school, started doing things 
they were procrastinating.

The British school does not believe that ANY oils on the market are free of 
chemical contaminants, so it's actually perpetuating ignorance for people to 
claim that their oils are pure therapeutic grade and at the same time that 
those oils aren't safe to use neat.  If they were truly pure therapeutic 
grade, you could ingest them and put them on neat with no fear.

You can find the articles by Tony Burfield titled Adulteration of Essential 
Oils right on the British school's website:  http://www.naha.org/safety.htm   
  So, if their own scientist expert is saying exactly what all the chemicals 
are, why are British school aromatherapists all in a tizzy saying they have 
just as good of a product as Young Living, while their own 'expert' readily 
admits all of the chemical additives, solvents/dilutants in their oils?

It's a fascinating industry and while I'm completely a do-it-myselfer and 
very independent and drawn to self-sufficiency, there are many things that 
make life a lot nicer when we work together for common good.  Studying all 
that's involved in producing chemical free plant matter and proper 
length/temperature of distillation makes me happy that I don't need to do 
that myself, I'm quite thankful to buy from Young Living.
