Here's my 23 year-old son's allergy testimonial. He's still not having
symptoms this year.
Every spring for the past 20 years our son has suffered from hay fever.
It quickly turns into season asthma and he's miserable. You know what I'm
talking about if you live in the Willamette Valley (Oregon). The Native
Americans called it "The Valley of the Sick". Many years he's ended up
using a nebulizer sucking very strong medications into his lungs several times
a day.
This year we talked to him about doing things differently - using some
of Young Living's products to "nip it in the bud". we did the research and
in early April, he started the Cleansing Trio. At the same time, he
started using Power Meal, Sulfurzyme, Master Formula, and Mineral Essence along
with essential oils of Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Lemon, Peppermint, RC and
Raven. He applied the RC and Raven to his sinuses and chest and felt immediate
relief from congestion. We also suggested that he eliminate dairy
products and wheat from his diet. He's eliminated diary and reduced the wheat.
We insisted that he stay in close touch with us so we could monitor his
condition. After two days of this protocol, he called to say that he had
no symptoms and felt increased energy. Four days into it, he reported,
"This Power Meal is GREAT! I've got so much energy. I played basketball
outside for the past three days. Mom, I feel great". Now he's selling the stuff
to his boss and coworkers.
He loves applying Peppermint to the back of his neck and uses it and
Lemon in his water. He diffuses the RC and applies Lavender and Roman
Chamomile to the bottom of is feet and reports that he's sleeping like a baby.
Our research made it clear that people with allergies need to work on
their immune systems, so we've ordered ImmuPower, JuvaTone and ImmuneTune for
phase 2. We're staying in close touch, but so far, we're all amazed.
What a difference - a safe, healthy difference!

"I became interested in Young living Essential Oils after listening to
The Missing Link tape. As a nurse, I was doubtful that any oil rubbed into
my skin could do so much, but was inquisitive enough to take a chance. How
glad I am that someone gave me the tape to listen to! By Using Peppermint and
R.C. I was able to stop my allergy medicines. By rubbing Peace and
Calming on my wrists I stopped using Benadryl for sleep. And I could go on and
on for all the uses the oils have in my life."

I've been using Valor for the last few months as an aftershave. I have
not suffered from hay fever so far this year and my sinusitis is gone.
Thieves, RC and Raven can also help. You might try using the new Thieves bar
soup. I use it all the time. I put Thieves on a couple times a week when I have
some.

Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic
Grade essential oils and supplements. Also each person is different so they
may not work as well for you as it does for others so try another oil or supplement
that would work better for you.
Essential oil testimonials are an effective way of learning and sharing. With this
knowledge, we can take control of our own personal health. However, we are
required by law to state:

Many years ago (mid 1970's) a wonderful chiropractor, Dr. Bill Plumhoff asked if I wanted to get rid of my hay fever. An emphatic "Yes" opened the way to heal.
Over the years and reading some great books, perhaps the best I can recommend is Dr. Joan Borysenko's "Minding the Body, Mending the Mind". It carefully explains what I've always thought of as the tiger in the cave effect. Cave man in his homey cave hears paw steps, sees a Saber Toothed Tiger!!! Picks up the nearest stone, or if lucky, a big club...adrenaline pours out, his heart races, pulse speeds up, muscles start flexing. He is now much stronger than he was a moment ago, ready to fight or if there is an open space...take flight. The fight/flight effect coming from the brain and the adrenal gland (lots more but you get the picture), is turned on ready to protect him. What if it turned out there was a sound but he was mistaken, it was nothing to worry about and he needs to calm down. Ever happen to you? Getting prepped for that fight or flight?
If that caveman was still upset and frightened and going on in his head, after 15 minutes the brain registers the adrenaline that is still in the muscles as a poison in the body. Now the problem begins. When the body believes it is being attacked it goes into it's protective chemistry. Once the problem is over, the body needs to return to the calmer state so the chemistry, nervous system, brain circuits can return to homeostasis. When we continue to be in the "prepare for war" state of mind/body, our body's will now create an exaggerated response known as an allergic state.
From a Veterinary Dictionary (animals have the same problems we do) it is stated:
Coordinated result of increased secretion of adrenal medullary hormones and of stimulation and resulting increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Creates the optimum situation for the survival of the individual by fighting the adversary or fleeing from it. The reaction comprises constriction of the blood vessels of alimentary tract and skin but dilatation of those to skeletal muscles; increased cardiac rate and output, and coronary dilatation occur; also elevation of the blood sugar levels and metabolic rate, dilatation of the pupils, evacuation of blood from the spleen, bronchodilatation, piloerection and decrease in coagulation time.
Now we have a set up for the body to misinterpret what is occurring. Allergies are an over reaction of the body as if it is still in the fight or flight mode. Bringing it back to normal generally can take about three months. There are many reasons why it would take less or more,
severity of problem, length of duration, lifestyle, accompanying issues (other physical or emotional ongoing problems).
I've learned from Dr. Plumhoff, the Essential Oil Desk Reference, and many others, including the intuitive aha's to do the following:
1. Look up acid alkaline chart (s), there are dozens and learn to go more alkaline in my diet.
2. Supplement with B complex nutrients. While there are many here are some of the better ones I've discovered: Super B by Young Living, World's Organic Liquid B Complex, Metagenic's Adrenogen (ordered through chiropractor's and medical doctor's or call my office) - if you are a vegan you will not want this one. It is specific for allergic reactions, contains adrenal gland tissue along with B5 and B6 (the parts of the B complex usually stored in the medulla of the adrenal gland)., Emergen C (a C complex as a mineral ascorbate) taken with meals.
3. Eliminate all cane sugar, artificial sugar (that includes Splenda), white flour products, alcohol and caffeine. These 4 are notorious for speeding up the adrenal gland, thus exhausting it's function making it difficult or impossible for full recovery. NO soda's, bubbly water (in other words no addition of carbon dioxide to your diet - it leaches calcium from the bones too).

* My husband and I are universalist ministers and have performed weddings since 1980. A couple came to talk to Dick (Weber) one night, saw our two cats, Samantha and Boodle and the woman remarked:
"I'm extremely allergic to cats, I won't be able to stay."
"I'm a nurse who had hay fever and no longer do. Would you like some immediate natural help?"
"I'll try anything but I might need a hospital if it doesn't work".
We live 2 minutes from a hospital so she agreed.
I gave her one ounce of water with 1 drop of Lavender oil and followed it with a glass of water with an ounce of Ningxia Red (for taste and anti-inflammatory action).
One hour later Samantha sat by this woman's neck. No response! Two hours later the woman had her own Lavender and Ningxia to go home with. When traveling she always takes her Lavender. She has had no further reactions to cats, but keeps taking the Lavender with her just in case.
This has occurred with 5 different people throughout the year 2009 who have walked in, saw my cats and because they each decided to try another means of self-care, each one was able to stay as long as they wanted. The cats were able to lay by their sides without an allergic reaction.
** Because all the compounds in these precious essential oils are pertinent to healing we never heat these oils or leave the cap off for longer than necessary. Diffusers need to be specific for therapeutic grade essential oils. Best sites to look at: Young Living and abundanthealth4u.com
