The following is a call I received which brought to mind the remarkable proof of the efficacy of Young Living products and the safety compared to others.

This morning, I received a call from Annie who was clearly upset but doing her best to stay calm. Her husband Rob was starting his 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse and grabbed the wrong bottle. Instead of 2 oz. of NingXia Red, he drank 2 oz. of Thieves Household Cleaner! Annie was on the road home from an event out of town and wasn't sure how to help him--he was feeling weird. He had already called Young Living for the ingredient information and was about to call poison control.

The first thing that came to mind was to suggest he drink some fatty oil like olive oil to help dilute the oils in his belly. I also reassured Annie I'd do more checking and get right back to her. I immediately checked the most conservative source I could think of--the British-model book Aromatherapy for Health Professionals by Shirley and Len Price which confirmed the fatty oil and also dilution with milk. And thanks to our amazing upline Nancy Weber, I was able to reach Young Living corporate and within minutes had the following information for Annie from Rochelle in Corporate:

"He will be fine. Although it's not intended to be used this way, the household cleaner is safe to drink. Have him drink lots of milk and fluids to flush it out of his system."

I called Annie, now close to home, who was greatly relieved to hear this. By this time, Rob had reached poison control which advised eating bread to help absorb the oils and to monitor how he was feeling.

Spoke with Annie about 4 hours after this started to find Rob was still feeling a little woozy, probably from ingesting this quantity of oils not to mention the emotional upheaval, but had had a rest and is doing fine! They'd already had a laugh about the mistake. We were so grateful for the support of our team. And Annie and I breathed a sigh of relief thinking of the cleaning products we used to have under our sinks and what the consequences of drinking them would have been.

Please, be safe. Be sure to keep the products out of the hands of children, and no one recommends drinking the cleaner. But how amazing to know what safe, effective products we have from Young Living!
