How It Works

A fit body offers a lifetime of vitality and energy and helps to prevent degenerative diseases. It is important to manage weight and a healthy body which can be done by watching food intake as this is one of the biggest factors. It is best to eat less food and even replace manufactured and processed food for healthy all natural foods.

————

Take Less In
Can you imaging looking at a cream pie and not even feeling a urge to consume it simply because you don’t feel the enticing. The food would still taste great but the want for it isn’t as difficult to overcome. Food can be emotionally and physically. When one is hungry they receive strong signals from the brain and various parts of the body letting us know we need nutrients. Generally with the urge we respond with eating and our body feels the rewards.

In the developed countries people often consume many more calories than needed for supporting healthy life. By reducing the calories consumed when dieting feels difficult especially when our bodies are conditioned to our nations higher calorie diet. All it takes is eating healthy foods in smaller amounts, using Slim and Sassy and using a regular exercise program to get to your ideal and healthy weight.

All Natural Lou Gehrig’s Disease Support

doTERRA Essential Oil Support For:

Lou Gehrig’s Disease 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis / (ALS)

Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.  The particular nerve cells affected are the motor neuron cells that control the voluntary muscles. The cause of ALS in general is not known except for about 10 percent of the cases where the cause can be traced to a genetic defect.

Symptoms do not usually develop until a person is middle aged or beyond.  It is more common in men than women and is quite rare only occurring in less than .002% (2 in 100,000) of the population.  The gradual progression of the symptoms varies from individual to individual.  Some are only expected to live for a few years where others may survive for decades.

Symptoms for those with ALS result from the motor cells slowly deteriorating causing the person to loose control of certain functions and making it increasingly more difficult to perform ordinary functions.

This may begin with difficulty in simple movements, breathing, and swallowing. With time symptoms may progress to include difficulty with speech, twitching, increasing muscle weakness with more difficulty in movements, gagging or drooling, and muscle cramps or paralysis.

ALS does not affect the senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch). It only rarely affects bladder or bowel function, or a person’s ability to think or reason.

There is no known cure for ALS… the support listed below is to greatly help.

doTERRA Essential Oils work perfectly with the body to support normal functions of the body and dōTERRA products are safe to use on all ages.

All Natural Lyme Disease Support

doTERRA Essential Oil Support For:

Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection of the bacterium borrelia burgdorferi (also know as spirochete) which is carried by ticks from deer or mice to humans.  The infection has now been found in North America and also in Europe.

(the name comes from the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut where the disease was first identified in 1975)

Early symptoms of the infection may not be noticed or if noticed resemble flu symptoms such as fever, headaches, body aches, and muscle pain.  A “bulls eye” rash may occur at the spot of the tick bite.  Antibiotics at this early stage will likely provide complete recovery.

If not treated properly other symptoms may occur over time and persist disrupting a normal active life.  These later symptoms and complications may include chronic problems including arthritic type pain with inflammation of the joints.  There may also be brain or nervous system chronic problems including difficulty with memory, concentration, and vision.  Also reports have included symptoms such as widespread itching and mood changes.

Even after the bacterial infection has been arrested some report continued symptoms.  This has been labeled post-Lyme disease syndrome.  Extended symptoms are most commonly arthritic or heart related.

–

The Lyme disease tick:

The infected tick is commonly in wooded or grassy rural areas and most dangerous for transmittal in the spring, summer, to early fall season.  You must be bitten by a tick carrying the bacterium (not all ticks are carriers) and have it attached to your body to get Lyme disease.

 Use common sense procedures to avoid ticks if you are in suspected areas:

·  Use an insect repellent

·  Wear long sleeve shirt

·  Wear high boots, tuck pants into socks

·  Check for ticks (light colored clothing make them easier to spot)

Deer ticks are small, especially in the nymph stage, so they may go undetected so watch for these signs.  The area of the bite usually will redden with the “bulls eye” pattern within 3 to 30 days.  Flu like symptoms will occur.

—————–

There are multiple phases of Lyme disease:

·  During the initial infectious stage (immediately after the tick bite) the use of an antibiotic protocols will be effective and if started early enough will eliminate further complications.

·  If the initial phase went undetected or untreated and some period of time passed before being diagnosed then the antibiotic protocols should be coupled with cleansing protocols and must be extended over a longer period of time.

·  If the infection is arrested but symptoms continue (post-Lyme disease syndrome) then the antibiotics and cleanses may not be necessary but Candida should be considered while addressing the symptoms.

-

doTERRA Essential Oils work perfectly with the body to support normal functions of the body and dōTERRA products are safe to use on all ages.

—–

doTERRA Essential Oil Users Have Found The Following To Assist In Lyme Disease Support:

In all cases the Life Long Vitality supplements should be used.

Click here to learn more about the supplements.

*Double the recommended use of EOMega from 4 capsules per day to 8 for those considered to be in the second phase as described above.

–

Antibiotic protocol

Put the following in a veggie capsule:

·   12 drops OnGuard Oil Blend

·   6 drops Oregano Oil

·   2 drops Frankincense Oil

One capsule per day for 14 days, rest 14 days and repeat.  During the 14 rest days apply 2 drops of  lemongrass and 1 drop of on guard on each foot before bedtime as well as take a probiotic daily.

With the antibiotic procedure be aware of the possibility of Herxheimer reaction* and if rashes or other symptoms occur reduce the daily dosage while continuing the procedure.  Remember that just the presence of a tick does not mean someone has Lyme disease.  Most do no start an antibiotic protocol unless the symptoms appear.

*Herxheimer reaction this occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body with a cleanse or using antibacterial oils as spirochetes bacterium die off.  The release of toxins may be faster than the body can remove them and result in fever, chills, headache, rash or other skin disorders. 

—

Cleanse (detoxify)

Use the full 15 day GX Assist/PB Assist procedure 3 times:

·   GX Assist (30 softgels taken 3 times a day over 10 days)

·   Followed by PB Assist (15 beadlets taken 3 times a day over 5 days)

·   rest 10 days.

·   repeat 2 more times.

Click here to learn more about GX & PB Assist

Other cleanses are described elsewhere and should be considered including doTERRA Zendocrine for detoxifying the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, and skin.

Again be aware of the Herxheimer reaction and if rashes or other symptoms occur cut the daily dosage while continuing the procedure.  Return to full dosage as Herxheimer reactions subside.

—-

Supplements/Antibiotics/Cleanse sequence

·   If multiple protocols are necessary consider the following:  The Life Long Vitality supplements can be taken along with the antibiotic and cleansing procedures.

·   If the antibiotic and cleansing procedures are both needed it is prudent to sequence them starting with the antibiotic protocol, a 14 day rest, and then the cleanse.

————–

Additional Help:

Drink 2-4 drops of Lemon Oil in water, daily (glass containers ONLY)

Pain, Comfort, Immune System

For those in the second phase of Lyme disease or suffering from post-Lyme disease syndrome using the AromaTouch Technique often will provide comfort, relief of pain and help build the immune system.

TESTIMONIAL:

“I supposedly still have Lyme Disease in my blood. I was the 6th person to get it in the state of NM. I had to take antibiotics every 6 weeks for 6 months. Then because of all the antibiotics, I developed Candida. I had lots of joint pain and underlying flu like symptoms all the time. I was very sick. I started the rotation diet, and did that for two years, cutting out all sweets, all red sauce, bread…etc. When I started taking using essential oils 11 years ago my body started to clear itself of the toxins. Then when I started the doTERRA Life Long Vitatlity supplement last year I noticed a big improvement. When I don’t take them, (like I forget sometimes) I notice a big difference! I have also used several oils internally, frankincense, lavender, oregano, and melaleuca in a capsule. I don’t have much of the symptoms any more. Taking the Life Long Wellness supplements seems to be the key. ” – Jan

Essential Oils Improving Eyesight?

doTERRA Essential Oil Support For:

Presbyopia (Failing Eyesight)

Presbyopia or failing eyesight, is part of the normal aging process.  In the mid 40s many notice that they must hold items further away to be able to focus and read.  This is caused as the elasticity of the lens of the eye is lost.  This is commonly corrected by using eye glasses.

-

Other eye problems the treatment can help include:

Cataracts

Cataracts most often occur with aging but occasionally they can result after some eye surgery, eye trauma, diseases such as diabetes, from some forms or radiation, or as a congenital defect.  Cataracts may form in either or both eyes.  They happen as the lens of the eye clouds or fogs not allowing light to pass clearly through the lens to the retina.  The lens is made up of water and protein and with age this protein clumps together disrupting the clearness of the lens.  Some research suggests that beyond normal “wear and tear” smoking may be a cause.

-

Macular degeneration

Macular degeneration or AMD (age-related macular degeneration) is a disease that, over time, blurs the central zone of vision.  This eventually can affect ones ability to read and perform many everyday tasks.  It usually develops after age 60 and can affect one or both eyes.  There is no associated pain. In some it develops slowly and can go undetected for years whereas with others in develops quickly and results in serious vision loss.

There are two types of AMD wet and dry.  With both types the macula, which is the center of the retina at the back of the eye, is compromised leading to blurred vision and eventual loss of central vision.   The more common type (90%) is the dry macular degeneration.  In this case the critical light-sensitive cells in the macula region of the retina slowly die causing a slow loss of vision.  Dry AMD can be detected before visible symptoms with a proper eye exam that can detect drusen, small yellow deposits under the retina, that are a precursor to the disease.  Without an eye exam symptoms will begin with slightly blurred vision.

Wet AMD occurs in the same area of the retina but the deterioration is caused by blood vessels that loose fluid and lift the macula causing the vision problems.  One early tell-tale symptom is that items that are straight lines will appear wavy.  This condition is also known as advanced AMD and the fluid loss and resulting damage develops quickly.

-

Glaucoma

Glaucoma may cause damage to the optic nerve and result in loss of sight.  The main body of the eye is filled with a fluid known as aqueous humor.  This fluid is continuously being replenished near the back of the eye and drains through a channel (called the angle) near the front of the eye.  If this drainage is impeded pressure builds in the eye and may damage the optic nerve.

There are four types of blockage or glaucoma that may occur.  Open-angle glaucoma is most common, it happens slowly over time and no cause is known.  It runs in families and is more common among African-Americans. Angle-closure glaucoma is when the channel is suddenly blocked. This causes painful pressure and is an emergency situation. Congenital glaucoma occurs when the exit channel does not develop properly at birth.  It is also hereditary.  Secondary glaucoma can be caused by some pharmaceutical medications or as a result of an eye disease like uveitis.

-

Retinal detachment

Light travels through the cornea and lens and falls on the retina at the back of the eye.  The retina is a thin membrane that converts the images falling on it to signals to the brain.  If the retina becomes separated from the underlying tissue distortion in vision may occur.  The detachment of the retina may be caused by trauma, disease such as diabetes or inflammatory disorders, or it can happen without any underlying cause.  Symptoms of retinal detachment include blurred vision, partial lack of vision, bright flashes in peripheral vision, or floating spots in vision.

-

Iritis/uveitis

The middle layer of the eye the uvea is composed of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.  From the uvea comes most of the blood supply for the retina.  Uveitis is inflammation or irritation to the uvea.  Most commonly this occurs in the iris and is known as iritis.  If it occurs near the back of the eye in choroid it is choroiditis.  This condition can stem from an infection elsewhere in the body or concurrent with some autoimmune disorders.  One or both eyes may be affected and the symptoms include redness in the eye, some pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and/or floating spots in vision.

doTERRA Essential Oil Users Have Found The Following To Assist In Supporting a number of eye sight issues:

Use the supportive oils like helichrysum and frankincense and the blend Immortelle (frankincense, helichrysum, lavender, myrrh, rose, sandalwood).

=

Application suggestions are:

•  One or two drops on the end of the finger and dab around the eye socket (not in the eye) 2 – 3 times a day.

•  Using the Immortelle roller bottle (or make a roller bottle with a selected oil/blend, (Dr. Hill recommended frankincense, cypress, lavender before Immortelle was available) and apply the oils around the eye socket 2 – 3 times a day.

•  Additionally (or in lieu of, if someone is highly sensitive to having oils applied around the eyes) rub the oils or blend on the reflexology point for eyes (at the base of and between the 1st and 2nd toes) 2 – 3 times a day.

-

Some eye problems, such as uveitis and iritis may stem from a systemic infection and the following are suggested:

•  Use the Immortelle or equal parts frankincense, cypress, and lavender (in a roller bottle if available) and apply around the eye socket as above but increase the frequency to 3 – 4 time daily and continue for a few days after the infection appears to have cleared.

•  Use a detoxifying cleanse such as the Zendocrine or GX Assist

-

Additional Help:

Take the Lifelong Vitality  Pack supplements and Women’s Bone Nutrient Complex daily

———————-

TESTIMONIALS:

“I have been wearing uni-focal contacts for 12 years now.  This means that one eye is for reading and the other eye is for distance.  I am currently wearing the highest magnification that can be worn before going cross-eyed.  I still need “reading glasses” just to read, especially at work on night-shift.   To my total amazement, I have discovered that using Immortelle around my eyes, twice a day, I do not need the “readers.”  I only am using contacts and I can read even tiny print.  Yeah!” - Tanya

-

“I have worn prescription bifocals for over 10 years.  The other night I picked up some mail off the cabinet and naturally reached for my glasses.  I was almost startled to realize that at the moment I held up the letter and before I had put my glasses on, I could read the address!   I don’t need them any more.  I went in to have my eyes checked this last week and my ophthalmologist said that my eyes had improved and I did not require nearly as strong a prescription.  I now only wear glasses for night driving!  She said that it is unusual but not unheard of for peoples eye site to improve, and said; “whatever you are doing… keep it up!”

What am I doing?  I use frankincense around my eye sockets daily. Just a single drop.  Every two weeks I switch to helichrysum for a week.  I also take my LLW pack daily (Lifelong Vitality Pack).  I’m not sure where most of the help is coming from, but I’m glad to have the problem of not knowing for sure which is helping.” -BK

—

“I had iritis/uveitis in my right eye, and I tried a couple of different things and ended up really liking the frankincense/cypress/lavender blend – it’s been really good for the iritis, and my eye doctor thought it was healing faster than it “normally” would, which is great.

I was going through my routine facial stuff yesterday morning and noticed that under the right eye was less wrinkled than the left, so I decided that I needed to put it around both eyes. This is a great side effect, but there’s more! This morning, after my shower, I forgot to put my glasses on before I went downstairs, and I didn’t even notice it until I went to turn on my computer! I’ve been wearing bifocals for 5 years for presbyopia and astigmatism, so this was fairly astounding to me. And the really, really cool thing is …. I haven’t put my glasses on all day!!” -Vikki

—

“I did not have a tear or detachment, but could have easily. I had to take it easy for a whole month. I take a drop of frankincense under my tongue every morning (when I remember to) and have been putting it around the eye bone as often in the mornings as I can remember to. Also I use melaleuca and myrrh sometime as well. I still have the floater, but I don’t see it as much. I think it has helped. My vision has improved so that’s a plus and my wrinkles are not as noticeable.” -Jan

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Essential Oil Heart Disease Support

doTERRA Essential Oil Support For:

Heart Disease

Heart disease, sometimes referred to as cardiovascular disease, includes a number of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels.  Conditions such as heart attacks, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and congenital heart disease are all subcategories of heart disease.  It is the leading cause of death of both men and women in the US as well as worldwide.  The primary causes are linked to bad habits of our modern society including over eating, lack of physical exercise, unhealthy diet, smoking, and alcohol.

=

  A brief description of some of the subcategories follows: 

·    Angina, is a symptom and not an actual heart disease.  It is a symptom of the heart not receiving enough oxygen which in turn causes the chest pains termed angina. Go to this page for more information, angina.

·    Arrhythmia refers to a number of conditions where the heart beat is irregular.  Some such palpitations such as a skipped beat or an occasional strong beat are not uncommon and normal but continued or strong palpitations can be indicators of life threatening problems and should be taken seriously.

·    Arteriosclerosis, also know as hardening of the arteries, occurs when arteries become thick with deposits or loose their flexibility thus limiting the amount of blood that can be delivered.  (Atherosclerosis is a subset of arteriosclerosis and is specifically the build up of plaque (fats) in the arteries.)

·    Atherosclerosis is a subset of arteriosclerosis and is specifically the build up of plaque (fats) in the arteries.

·    Cardiomyopathy refers to problems in the heart muscle itself (myocardium). People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of arrhythmia and/or sudden cardiac death.

·    Congenital heart disease describes those heart irregularities that were present at birth.

·    Congestive heart failure (or CHF), occurs when restricted arteries or other conditions limit the blood supply to the heart and weaken it to the point that it cannot deliver sufficient blood to the body.

·    Coronary heart disease is when there is not a sufficient blood supply to the muscles of the heart.  Most commonly this comes from restrictions in the arteries.  Common symptoms are chest pains (angina pectoris) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

·    Hypertensive heart diseases are conditions that occur because of high blood pressure. See this page for more information, hypertension.

·    Inflammatory heart disease includes a number of conditions where heart muscles or tissue become inflamed.

·    Valvular heart disease (VHD) describes those maladies that affect one of the four major valves in the heart.

Apple Blaster Hearth Healthy Drink

Cayenne pepper (ground or fresh) is known for its vascular healing properties, and is heart food. The problem with cayenne is you have to start out real small and slowly adjust to the heat. Start with a pinch and gradually get to 1 teaspoon. It will strengthen veins, heart, and blood.

One way to get cayenne pepper down is in Apple Blasters (I make these when we have colds as well)

·    3 apples, juiced

·    1 lemon, juiced

·    1 knuckle sized ginger root, juiced

·    Cayenne to taste (my kids can do 1/4 teaspoon at a time)

You can also add a drop of lemon essential oil, or OnGuard and Mix it well.

Essential Oil Support For Celiac (gluten intolerance)

doTERRA Essential Oil Support for:

Celiac Disease

(Gluten Intolerance)

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the body mistakenly attacks gluten and other proteins found in grains that are in the digestive tract.  Celiac disease is genetic and can develop at any age in life from infancy to adulthood.  What occurs is as foods with gluten are eaten the body produces antibodies to attack the gluten but these antibodies then mistakenly attack the lining of the small intestines.  This damage to the intestinal lining includes the villi that are responsible to absorb nutrients and begin their delivery to other body systems.  The nutrients particularly affected are fats, calcium, iron, and folate (folic acid or vitamin B9).

With deficiency in these nutrients a number of issues emerge that vary from individual to individual with the disease.  These issues include:

·  Abdominal pain and bloating

·  Indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting

·  Fatty stools (pale, large, bad odor, floating)

·  Decreased (or increased) appetite

·  Lactose intolerance

·  Weight loss, growth problems in children

===

Some issues are not associated with the digestive system:

·  Dermatitis herpetiformis (a skin rash)

·  Anemia (iron deficiency), fatigue

·  Missed menstrual periods

·  Muscle cramps, joint and bone pain

·  Sores in mouth

·  Seizures

·  Easily bruising, nose bleeds

·  Dental discoloration, hair loss

·  Nutrient deficiencies, malnutrition

Beyond physical symptoms depression, irritability, and behavioral changes can accompany the difficulties in diagnosing and dealing with this disease.

Celiac has been reported to be triggered by trauma after surgery, childbirth, stress, and even viral infection.

Testimonial:

I’m certainly no expert, but as someone who suffered from anemia my whole life, without knowing why until a year ago, I will gladly share my experience.  I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease last February when I learned that 8 months into my pregnancy my iron was so low they were worried I might need a transfusion.  Fortunately, I didn’t, but it still has been a tough battle to regain my strength.  I think that taking the gluten out of my diet was a good first step, but it wasn’t the only thing. I really didn’t begin to notice a difference until I went on the LLW (Life Long Vitality Supplements) last summer.  At the time I started on the LLW I was desperate.  Between the low iron levels and the hormones after having a baby, I had lost so much hair and nothing was growing back in.  I was embarrassed to leave the house.  I was dealing with a lot of depression, joint pain and just over all tired all the time.  I felt a lot older than my 37 years, and I really wanted  something that would give me my life back.  I literally only made it through the day by consuming 100+ ounces of caffeinated soda every single day.  That is a staggering amount, when I look back!

I was introduced to DoTerra in July and immediately joined.  I was mostly interested in it for helping my kids, but gradually I began to see how the products could help me.  I started on the LLW in August and even though I’m not perfectly consistent, I do take them pretty often.  In September, I completely, cold turkey went off caffeine and it was about 4 miserable days, but so worth it!  I have continued to use the oils and to change my diet.  I am almost completely on a whole foods diet, eating everything fresh and when possible-raw.  I am a whole new person.  My hair came back in thicker than ever, my nails are long and strong (which I haven’t experienced in years)  I have energy and look forward to each day.  My depression, for the most part is gone and a month after starting on the LLW, I was able to go completely off the anti-deppressant my OBGYN put me on after the birth of my son.

Sorry for the novel, but I guess, I could sum it up to first, try to find out what might be causing the anemia.  And second, use the LLW and modify the diet.  I haven’t had my levels retested, but I feel 110% better!  So, something must be going right!  Good luck!
