Swine Flu and other Infectious Risks by Dr. David Hill

This is an article written by Dr. David Hill from doTERRA regarding methods for keeping yourself clear of infectious diseases. 

Swine Flu and other Infectious Risks

Unfortunately, germs and our exposure to them are a regular occurrence. As resistance and new strains continue to develop, we are at an increasing risk for serious infection.

I realize that there are many discussion threads regarding the potential dangers concerning the swine flu and other infectious health risks. There is much in the way of scientific medical research which demonstrates the efficacy of essential oils against a variety of pathogenic germs. Naturally occurring compound groups such as alcohols, phenols and aldehydes are often identified as being the most beneficial. I feel confident that it is a reasonable and responsible approach to use essential oils daily in a model of prevention and for resolution of symptoms in the cases of exposure.

In general, reducing our exposure and enhancing immune protection is our best defense. I suggest using dōTERRA essential oils in the following way:

1. Establish the daily routine of applying doTERRA’s OnGuard blend on the bottom of feet (for yourself as well as family members) both morning and night, which creates long-lasting and consistent protection.

2. Diffuse doTERRA essential oils in your home routinely throughout the day. On Guard and your favorite citrus oil combined is a potent and uplifting aroma.

3. Drink plenty of water. Adding a few drops of your favorite citrus oil will enhance your body’s natural defenses.

4. Viruses and bacteria are found in staggering numbers on surfaces. Use essential oils to thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces you and your family come in contact with. A mixture of Wild Orange, On Guard, and Thyme is especially potent. Diluting the mixture with water in a small glass spray bottle can easily be used anywhere, anytime. Simply spray and wipe for germ-free surfaces on the go.

5. Wash and wipe your hands using essential oils. Adding essential oils to your favorite soap increases effectiveness.

6. Use essential oils in combination to enhance their germ fighting benefits. The essential oils of On Guard (dōTERRA’s natural defense blend), Oregano, and Thyme are a critical part of your family’s protection plan. At the onset of any infection this combination used internally by capsule ingestion or on the bottom of the feet can offer quick relief and elimination.

7. Maintain the basis of personal health through appropriate supplementation. Using dōTERRA Lifelong Wellness pack has immune sustaining benefits for your entire family. With an ORAC score of nearly 6000 per serving, every cell in your body is fortified.

Using CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils is a safe and consistent approach to safeguarding individual and family health.

Yours in Health,

Dr. David Hill

Essential Science: A Scientists Mission To Bring Essential Oils Research To The Masses

A Scientists Mission To Bring Essential Oils Research To The Masses

by Nicole Stevens,

(article from doTERRA Living Magazine, Spring 2012)

My research with essential oils began completely by accident. I had just started a Master’s Degree program at Brigham Young University, and my original thesis plan was a study of medicinal plants of Oman. The project was even going to include travel to the Middle East to collect specimens and talk to shamans. I began learning Arabic, got a passport, packed my bags and waited excitedly. The trip was scheduled for Sept. 14, 2001. But then, on that fateful September 11, the whole world changed.

So did my thesis project. My program advisor told me about something that had been waiting on the back burner for some time – a study of the natural plant extracts called essential oils that were suspected to have activity against cancer cells in vitro. I jumped at the idea. My dream has always been to delve into cancer research.

What a joy it was to discover that essential oils not only had remarkable anti-cancer activities, but they made the whole lab smell delightful!

After completing my Master’s thesis in which I screened seventy essential oils and several oil blends against five different cancer cell lines, I yearned to continue studying these amazing compounds. As a researcher at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, I looked at whether essential oils might fulfill another role in the fight against cancer, paired with a strong dose of light energy. At the University of Utah, I found that doTERRA’s essential oils showed impressive antimicrobial potency as well,even when extremely diluted.

If my experience has shown me one thing, its that scientists have barely uncovered the top of the iceberg when it comes to essential oils. Their potential for promoting health, fighting disease, and enhancing life is incredible. The challenge is, how do we spread the word? How do be bring true science to the masses?

I think “SCIENCE” (that nebulous, sexy, fear-inducing, eye-glazing notion) is rather like dietary fiber. Everyone knows we need it, and they like the idea of it, but its just so darn indigestible! Anyone can find an article on PubMed, but you would probably need a dictionary and a degree in molecular biology just to slog your way through it.

There is a disconnect between the exciting scientific research currently happening and how accessible it is for regular people who would love to understand and apply it. That’s where doTERRA’s Scientific Advisory Board comes in.

When Dr. David Hill approached me several years ago with the idea of a Scientific Advisory Board, I was stunned. There would be experts in the field of medicine, science and analysis, colleagues who could coordinate their own research and being to distill down the mountain of other research results available; perhaps digest some of the scientific jargon into everyday language and brainstorm about all the projects we’d like to do. Yes please, sign me up!

I’m very pleased to be a member of doTERRA’s current Scientific Advisory Board. Although our group is new and still discovering its potential, I believe it is truly revolutionary. We want to apply science to a field of study that, for too long, had been considered ‘homeopatic mumbo jumbo”. Many modern Americans prefer their FDA-approved synthetic drugs without even realizing there may be natural alternatives with scientifically proven benefits.

Perhaps we area at the brink of a mighty wave of change, a fusion of our ‘enlightened’ Western medicine with centuries-old traditional medicine. More people are experiencing for themselves how essential oils work. The members of the Scientific Advisory Board hope to add even more relevance by dabbling in the why.

I plan to continue my own research with essential oils, which includes a project that explores how essential oils affect enzymatic activity. There are several references in current scientific literature about the ability of certain essential oils to increase beneficial enzymatic activity, and I hope to obtain results on how doTERRA’s oils compare.

Scientists, petri dishes, and test tubes all over the world are providing thrilling evidence to support what essential oils users have known for years – that these complex, beautiful plant products really work. And hopefully, with greater scientific understanding comes a greater acceptance of essential oils as legitimate, highly useful players in medical practice.

10 Basic Oils Every Home Needs

Do You Have Thyme? Find Out Why You Need It!

Researchers at the Technological Educational Institute of Ionian Islands in Greece tested essential oils against drug-resistant staph (MRSA, aka a super-bug). Read the full article here to find out which essential oils killed almost all of the bacterium within an hour! (Okay, so the image to the left is a BIG clue.)

How to Use Thyme Essential Oil:

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris CT thymol), familiar to most as a common seasoning for cooking, produces an essential oil that has valuable cleansing and clarifying properties. It is also notable for its broad-spectrum activity for winter health. dōTERRA’s CPTG Thyme Essential Oil comes from thyme plants grown and harvested in Germany.

To apply topically, dilute thyme with dōTERRA’s fractionated coconut oil before applying.*

To diffuse, add 1-2 drops to diffuser. Can be blended with other oils as an air purifyer (lemon or Citrus Bliss are ideal). Can also be added as an ingredient to homemade cleaners for deep cleaning in the home or office.**

For internal use, dilute and add to capsule. Can also be added to foods as a seasoning (Note: Use a toothpick to swirl in the flavor, not a full drop.)

*Avoid eye contact. May cause skin sensitivity.

**Homemade eco-friendly cleaner with Thyme Essential Oil:
Fill a spray bottle with two cups water ; add 25 drops dōTERRA thyme essential oil and two teaspoons castile (natural soap). Use on hard-to-clean bathroom and kitchen surfaces.

 

A Boy’s Story About dōTERRA’s “Breathe”

David, like other 7 year old boys, loves to play outdoors and be active. But until two months ago, his activity was greatly restricted due to his asthma. Medications were a constant part of his routine, until his mom was introduced to dōTERRA essential oils. Here is David’s story, as told by his mother Bekah:

“We have only been using the oils for a little over 2 months, but they have had a significant impact on our family. Betsy Holmes introduced me to dōTERRA’s essential oils at the end of February–she was here visiting and David was in the middle of an allergic asthma attack. Instead of giving him his scheduled albuterol treatment, we opted to try the Breathe oil. Within minutes he stopped coughing and has whole-heartedly requested the oils instead of his treatments ever since then.

He actually went 2 entire months without an inhaler or steroids. Recently his school nurse administered his inhaler without calling me first and it actually brought on more symptoms instead of relieving them. So, David is hooked on the power of essential oils. We diffuse Breathe at night and apply it to his chest as needed. He is loving it! People around here know my David and how he’s struggled. His story is touching hearts and changing lives with dōTERRA – and he’s super stoked to be a part of it!

David, who is in second grade, was asked to do a social studies project on what he wants to be when he grows up. The project actually required that he answer some questions about his aspirations, and draw a picture of himself, which I totally wish I would have taken a picture of also! This letter was a follow-up to that project. He brought it to me last night.

Thank you, Bekah and David, for sharing your story with us!

 

Do You Ever Think About This?..

You know how older people tend to get arthritis? Only in a very, very rare case do you ever hear about someone in their 20′s or 30′s having arthritis. Why is that? 

This is one of those, we are what we eat, drink, take etc. type things. Arthritis doesn’t come along just because one gets older. Candida, yeast, fungus or whatever you would like to call it, grows and grows over time inside our bodies. What happens next? The result is something very different for everyone. Some will get arthritis, others Fibromyalgia, and yet others, Parkinson’s. These few, and a list of many other illnesses or ailments, will be created over time. Most people will see a physician and be prescribed medication of some sort. This, however, will most often just add to the problem of creating even more candida, more yeast and the body will continue at a faster pace of shutting down.

There is much to learn about the human body, mind and spirit. The body is an amazing thing. Completely organic in it’s make up, but yet we bombard our bodies with substances that ultimately bring it to it’s demise. Artificial colors and sweeteners, synthetic medications, chemicals of all kinds that we clean with, swim in and digest on a daily basis. Most of the time we don’t think a thing about what we are putting into our bodies. General consensus is, whatever goes in our bodies, comes out in about 24 hours. NOT SO. Not even close. Hence, Liver and Kidney failure, Thyroid problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, pain, pain, pain. And the list goes on and on.

Most who read this would most likely think that I am vegetarian and only eat raw foods. I am, however, just like you and the general public. We live in a fast food world and I am part of that world, mostly out of convenience and time. I love a good coke with a hamburger or Mexican food. I love chocolate and crave oh so many other yummy foods that are not good for me. It is what I do to combat these foods and substances that is important for me. Enter therapeutic grade essential oils. I prefer Doterra Essential oils because they work for me and my family and countless other friends and clients.

The main purpose of these essential oils is to cleanse the human body and bring it back to a neutral position and help rewind the damage we have done to our bodies. As a good friend of mine, Dr. David Hill states, “The chemistry of natural plants is just like our bodies, essential oils help the body restore natural healing and reverse imperfections”. Wow, that is powerful and very empowering to each of us. We can be in control of our health, we can be in control of our future well being. Does arthritis or any other ailment have to be a reality? No, and with the daily use of essential oils we can drastically reduce the rate of illnesses and diseases that affect our lives and the lives of our loved ones

Mom Fighting Sore Throats!

“My sister-in-law gets strep throat every year with her children.  This year her children got it and she could feel a sore throat coming on herself.  My brother had her gargle  a  lemon and oregano essential oil mixture with water.  This is the only time she has ever not gotten strep throat with her children!

Here is how the treatment works, At the first sign of a sore throat ingest a drop of Lemon Essential Oil in water and gargle with 2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil and 1 drop of Oregano Essential Oil mixed in 1/4 cup of water.  Do not swallow the Lemon/Oregano mixture.  Repeat the gargle every hour until soreness subsides.  A drop of Lemon Essential Oil mixed with a teaspoon of honey can also help fight sore throats.

What a great tool for mothers to use to fight sore throats just as they are starting!”

-Tiffany Nelson

Overcame Fibromyalgia
