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.

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.....}

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

- Eucalyptol
(from eucalyptus essential oil)

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}

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}

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, eugenol, kill more than 60 types of bacteria, 15 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.
