The Ultimate Antiseptics--12 Essential Oils that
WIPE OUT Disease-Causing Bacteria, Molds, and Viruses.


 
I would like to start out with why should I use Essential oils and how do I know which oils are the best. 

Young Living has held fast to their quality standards in that not only must the Essential oils be pure and of natural origin, but also must meet stringent quality standards that include but are not limited to AFNOR & ISO standards.  
 
So keep in mind that Young Livings Oils are stamped with the AFNOR
standard which states that they are "100% pure therapeutic grade A ," Young Living takes the quality requirement many steps further by requiring additional constituent range markers as well,  further analysis to determine that the oil has not been cut or adulterated and is as pure as nature intended it to be.
 
I would like to Quote: [David Stewart, PhD. DNM. IASP] so you can understand about different grades of oils and why it is important to use only "100% Pure Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils."and why drugs are not working and Essential oils can.

DRUGS ARE TEMEPORARY; OILS ARE FOREVER: The Simplicity of Drugs vs. the Complexity
of Oils.

When a resistant strain of pathogenic bacteria results, people get infected and allopathic medicine has no remedy.  People so afflicted can die--and often do--or suffer 

Drug companies address this problem by developing stronger and stronger antibiotics and anti microbial agents.
Unfortunately, these pharmaceuticals are also harmful to people, even potentially deadly.  For example, Vancomycin (which is strong enough to kill the patient) was a powerful antibiotic developed to attack resistant strains of bacteria.  When prescribed, doctors could only hope that the bacteria within the patient would die before the patient did.  Now there are Vancomycin-resistant bacteria, making that antibiotic no longer effective.

Antibiotics and antibacterial agents are simple compounds or simple mixtures of a few compounds.  Every batch of a particular antibiotic or antibacterial agent is identical to the previous batch.  Doctors would want it this way.  They would want today's tetracycline or penicillin to be exactly the same as yesterday's and tomorrow's so that the product can be patented.  This consistency of product, along with their simplicity,
is why bacteria can figure them out and develop resistance such that their offspring are not only immune to the drug, but are even more virulent and toxic to humans.

"QUOTE" OILS ARE COMPLEX AND UNIQUE:
 
Synthetic compounds may be copies of the chemical formulas of compounds found in essential oils, but they are lacking the subtle energies contained in natural substances. Those who apply essential oils forhealing soon learn that only pure, natural complete, and unadulterated oils bring about healing, while synthetic oils or oils adulterated by synthetic compounds, DO NOT.

 

For example, in the case of oil of wintergreen, the natural oil is harmless, with many healing properties, while the synthetic version does not heal and is, in fact, toxic.  Both smell and taste like wintergreen, but they are not the same therapeutically.  Furthermore, research has shown that the homeopathic properties of a substance, though chemically identical, are not the same energetically for syntheticcompounds as they are for natural ones.

Freshly cultivated and steam distilled, the essential oils at YOUNG LIVING are life-enhancing giftsfrom the plant kingdom, revered for centuries for their restorative properties to body, mind, and spirit.  Pure essential oils now re-emerge as a key solution to the challenges facing modern lifestyles.

One must be sure he or she is applying therapeutic-grade oils and not perfume-grade oils, which arecheaply produced and lacking in the therapeutic properties necessary to heal and enhance one's state of wellness.  Most aromatherapy companies selling oils claim that their products are "Pure," "100%Grade A," "Therapeutic," etc.  But you cannot trust labels, since their verbiage is not currently regulated or legally defined.  Oils with warnings on them about potential toxicity are probably not therapeutic 
and safe to use, except in massage, where they are diluted down to a 2-5% concentration in neutral carrier oil.

To ensure that you are getting therapeutic-grade oils, find a company that submits their oils for routine testing by independent laboratories and whose oils are from organic source, distilled without chemical solvents at minimum temperatures and pressures, and are bottled straight from the still with no alterations or adulterations.. The proof of an oil's quality is in its manifested benefits when you use it. 

Essential oils are different.  While they are extremely effective against pathogenic microbes, they are not only harmless to humans, but are actually beneficial to our tissues.  Furthermore, they do not cause the production of resistant strains of bacteria.  Here is why.

Essential oils are not simple.  They consist of hundreds of compounds, the numbers and formulas for which are not completely known even for one species of oil. Furthermore, no two batches of essential oil are ever the same. Oils are like wines. Vintners put dates on each year's bottle of a wine because every year will produce a slightly different tasting and coloration of wine since nature never repeats itself.

The effectiveness of essential oils is permanent, which is why they, and other natural remedies, will eventually replace the synthetic pharmaceuticals of today.  This means that drug-base allopathy, as practiced today, is eventually doomed to disappear because it is based on transient medicines and a flawed paradigm.

Here is what is happening in our world today.

GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE, YOUR HOUSE IS ALIVE WITH MINIATURE GUESTS:

A 1984 World Health Organization Committee report suggested that up to 30% of new and remodeled
Buildings worldwide may be the subject of excessive complaints related to indoor air quality (IAQ),

Heating and cooling systems in large buildings typically contain 30-70 colonies per cubic meter of 
Pseudomonas and 80-130 colonies of Staphylococcus bacteria.

In 1999 tests showed that 530 of the 604 apartments in San Francisco, Ca, had mold, including 287 with "toxigenic" fungus, which emits toxic byproducts.

GERMS CAUSE SERIOUS INFECTION AND INFLAMMATION:

"Inhalation and absorption of mycotoxins (fungal toxins or waste products) have clearly demonstrated to be causive of human illness."  {Michael R. Gary, MD}

Bacterial strains from moldy buildings are highly potent inducers of inflammatory and cytotoxic effects.

Airborne spores or micelia are causing illness through allergic or toxic mechanisms.  {Robert Dales, University of Ottawa}

Acute Pulmonary Hemorrhage in infants Associated with Exposure to Stachybotrys atra and other Fungi.

One moldy house, two victims:

Extreme cases of fungal infestation, even in the "dry" prairies, provide a chillingly cautionary tale.
ALBERTA REPORT, MARCH, 2002  By Candis McLean

Within three months of moving in, Verna Rumak was calling her lovely new home "The Fungal Palace." Recently divorced, Ms. Rumak invested all her savings in the stylish bungalow in the brand new sub-division of Cambria in Strathmore, Alta., 30 miles east of Calgary.  Before taking possession, with uncanny foresight in August 1998, she wrote to the builder, Claude Gauvin of Trendsetter Homes, stating: "The basement still has some puddles of water and appears to be wet-is the water still coming from the 
neighbors' non-stop watering of their new sod {as Mr. Gauvin had told her}, or is the water.....}

A surprising number of extra-gastrointestinal diseases have been reported to be associated with Helico-bacter pylori infections, including coronary heart disease and stroke.

GERMS ARE A MAJOR CAUSE OF CANCER:
"ten years ago we couldn't have said that viruses cause cancer.  Now we know that 20% of world cancers are virus-induced." [Dr. Paler Besky, University of Texas

In just one year, 483,000 liver cancer deaths were directly attributable to Hepatitis B. and C. virus infections. [World Health Organization]

"H. pylori is now  accepted as a cause of stomach cancer." {Professor Nicholas Wald, Fellow Queen Mary's School of Medicine, London]

GERMS MAY MAKE US FAT.

Catching Obesity: Identifying Viruses That May Make Us Fat, Do Human adenovirues cause obesity?  Researchers advises, "eat right, exercise, and wash your hands" (Using our new Thieves Foaming Hand Soap)

Bacteria in your guy might make you fat.  There is accumulating evidence that certain viruses may cause obesity, according to new research published by the American Physiologic Society.  The idea that microbes might cause obesity gained a foothold when the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana created the nation's first department
of viruses and obesity.

What can we do to keep us Healthily????

FACT:

In 1865 British surgeon Joseph Lister, the chief surgeon at the King's College Hospital in London, [the father of modern antiseptics],  was the first to disinfect surgical rooms with eucalyptus oil vapors to stop deaths from infection.  He used phenolic antiseptics for the first time during surgery to reduce the death rate from 50% to less than 3% during major surgeries.

Jean Valnet, MD, used essential oils for decades in his clinical practices.  "Essential oils are especially valuable as antiseptics because their aggression toward microbial germs is matched by their total harmlessness toward tissue."

History of Listerine Antiseptic:
First formulated by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in 1879 as a surgical antiseptic, it was provided to dentists for oral care in 1895 and became the first over-the-counter mouthwash sold in the United States in 1914.

















The first commercial surgical anti-septic solution contained phenols and other compounds from common essential
oils:
  • Thymol: (from thyme essential Oil)
  • Eucalyptol (from eucalyptus essential  oil)
  • Methyl salicylate: (from wintergreen essential  oil)
  • Menthol: (from peppermint essential  oil)
USED FOR CENTURIES AS ANTI-SEPTICS, ESSENTIAL OILS ARE STILL USED TODAY IN ORAL DISINFECTANTS.

"There was no evidence of the development of bacterial resistance to the anti-microbial activity of essential oils or the emergence of opportunistic pathogens."  {Christine Charles, PhD, American Journal of Dentistry}

Effect of an essential oil-containing anti-septic mouth rinse on plaque and salivary Streptococcus mutans levels. {Dental Research Center, New Jersey Dental School}

The Efficacy of an essential oil anti-septic mouth rinse vs. dental floss in controlling inter proximal gingivitis.  A comparative study.  Maintenance of an adequate level of daily oral hygiene is essential for the prevention and control of plaque-associated with oral disease.
 
A 1999 Journal of Clinical Periodontology study found that a 
mouth rinse with essential oils of Thyme, Peppermint, Wintergreen, and Eucalyptus oils was more effective in improving oral health than a fluoride-based antiseptic.

In 1987, in one of the most comprehensive studies conducted, scientists in Scotland identified the
most powerful anti-bacterial essential oils --- thyme, cinnamon, clove, and geranium.

"The administration of diffused aerosol aromatic oils should be common practice in sick rooms, operating theaters, and clinics."  {Jean Valnet MD}

Cinnamon, thyme and clove essential oils killed 92% of 25 different gram negative and positive bacterial strains, according to research published in the International Journal of Food Microbiology. The anti microbial properties of essential oils have been thoroughly and systematically studied. {Kalemba et al,. University of Lodz}

Top Anti-bacterial E. O.'s out of 50 tested                        Percent of Different Strains Killed
=================================                    ================================
                  Bay Laurel                                                                        96%
                  Cinnamon                                                                          92%
                  Clove (80% eugenol)                                                         92%
                  Thyme (50% thymol)                                                          92%
                   Geranium                                                                         84%
=================================                     ===============================

IN 2006 RESEARCHERS IDENTIFIED THE MOST POWERFUL ANTIFUNGAL ESSENTIAL OILS.

In Vitro Efficacy of 75 Essential Oils against Aspergillus Niger

Essential oils of cinnamon, clove, lemon grass, geranium, and thyme were equal or superior to the powerful anti-fungal drug, (Hexaconzasole.)

Aspergillus infection in the lung of a patient could result in death.  The essential oil of cinnamon at a 0.04% concentration completely stopped the growth of 35 different fungi.

Clove essential oil, and its primary constituent, eugenolkill more than 60 types of bacteria15 strains of fungi, and several viruses.

Clove oil reduced Candida infection in test subjects by 75% after 8 days, closely equivalent to Nystatin.  5% of adult women suffer from candidiasis which can have serious long term consequences. Anti microbial activity of clove oil and its potential in the treatment of vaginal candidiasis.

Here are a few  Essential oils with Anti-fungal activity:

24 different Bacteria killed by essential oils in the 1987 Scottish study:

"Growth of the test organisms was inhibited more efficiently by gaseous contact than by solution contact." [Dr. Shigeharu Inouye, Teikyo University]

Antibacterial activity of essential oils and their major constituents against respiratory tract pathogens by gaseous contact were tested by [Teikyo University Institute of Medical Mycology,]
