Hi,

My roommate has some major health problems that have kept her off work for the last 2 months. The ones I know of for sure right now are: Hypertension, high cholesterol & fluid retention (her legs & knees keep swelling up when she's on them or driving for a long period of time). The Dr. also thinks she has sleep apnea. When she & I wake up in the morning, I'll ask her what else the dr said was wrong with her.
Thanks for the help, Kim

Kim, here's what I use to reduce the fluid retention. Nancy Sanderson

CEL-LITE MAGIC - 3.8 FL OZ
Cel-Lite Magic™ Massage Oil combines the healthful benefits of specially selected vegetable oils with vitamin E and therapeutic- grade essential oils to tone and nourish the skin. Grapefruit essential oil is beneficial for improving skin texture, and juniper oil works as a detoxifier and cleanser that is also beneficial to the skin.

Massage & therapeutic touch have long been part of both physical & emotional healing. When essential oils are combined with massage, the benefits are numerous. Massage improves circulation, lymphatic drainage, and aids in the elmination of tissue wastes.

With the oils that are in Cel-Lite-Magic Massage they help to reduce lymphdema and when I get a new bottle I will to make it stronger by adding 10 drops each of cypress, tangerine or orange, grapefruit and fennel. Shake it up to mix the oils in and apply to the legs starting at the feet and come up to the heart. You will literally see the liquid move in front of your hands. Apply to the arms coming down to the hands which is towards the heart.

I worked on a gentleman who had open heart surgery and they had taken a vein from his leg and his leg had swollen twice the size. His doctor kept telling him to come in so they could give him more drugs and to see if he needed surgery again. He kept putting if off because he didn't want to have to have surgery let alone having to take more drugs. I was teaching a product training and I suggested that if he would like, I would work on his leg giving him a massage. Applying Cel-Lite-Magic starting at his foot going up the leg you could literly see the fluid move in front of my hands. When I was done the swelling was almost gone. Needless to say he did not have to go in to see his doctor.

I use it all the time for removing water retention.

I also add 5-10 drops of lemon or grapefruit oil to my water everytime I drink a glass. That works great in taking away the water retention and dissolve fat cells.

Then I would also use Ocotea which is really great for the following:

Wonderful for diabetics and juvenile diabetics!
1 to 3 drops under the tongue dropped glucose levels 30 points in less than 10 minutes. Then monitor. Lowers cortisol, which lowers insulin. 3 drops 3 times a day or 4 drops 4 times a day has proven to be better than glucaflague for diabetes. Showed a video of I think he is an ND, in regards to his results of testing Ocotea, made a tincture out of it along with a couple of drops of cinnamon oil. Patient had low energy, cold feet, high in blood sugar - 330. One week later blood sugar was 212, then down to 140. Under 150 the doctors aren't worried but to have normal blood sugar level in below 90..

Peaceful feeling and weight loss was reported. (A few drops orally and cravings were gone), with just using Ocotea.

Marc Schraders, Young Living's director of product formulation, told us at the convention last year that for weight loss take Ocotea. 2 drops 4 times a day. Could be in capsule of just 2 drops in a glass of water.

LOWER RISK OF HEART DISEASE:
The Ningxia wolfberry is rich in soluble fiber, which is highly effective in removing triglycerides and cholesterol from the blood and lowering the risk of heart disease. Numerous studies have linked a high intake of soluble fiber with lowered blood pressure and improved cardiovascular health.

Cholesterol is one of the few compounds in the body that cannot be broken down into smaller components and excreted (in contrast, sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids are all converted into water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia for elimination). The only mechanism by which cholesterol can be flushed from the body is through bile acids. However, if feces lack sufficient fiber, cholesterol is not sufficiently excreted, forcing the remainder to be recirculated in the gall bladder.

PRESERVING A HEALTHY HEART---- NINGXIA WOLFBERRY RESEARCH SUMMARY:

Reduces serum triglycerides and cholesterol by up to 80%

Reduces inflammation

Slows oxidative damage to LDL cholesterol

Lowers blood pressure

Reduces the stickiness of platelets and thickness of blood;
    may potentiate the action of warfarin and aspirin.
