Agent Orange exposure can happen to farmers as well as servicemen, especially those deployed in Viet Nam during the late 60's early 70"s. Agent orange is a defoliant - it kills all vegetation.
Our family has had first had experience with Agent Orange. My husbands exposure to AO while serving in Vietnam is what is believed to have caused his death from a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Though we did alot of cleansing routines with herbs and foods, I did not have the knowledge of the oils then like I do today.
I would just pass along to anyone trying to rid their body of this chemical and its effects, that along with using oils like GLF and the Juva products - JuvaCleanse (very important as a heavy metal chelator), Juva Tone, JuvaFlex, do lots of cleansing for the whole body - colon, kidneys, blood, etc.
The biggest damage AO causes is to the vascular system - namely an aneurysm. Agent Orange weakens the arteries and blood vessels. Pay special attention to the cardiovascular system with topical Aroma Life from the neck to the navel covering the aorta, and they can not drink enough NingXia Red, (3 to 6 ounces daily for life). NingXia Red naturally contains L-Arginine, known to help support blood vessel elasticity.

Hi
I am quite an expert at using the pain formula as I did after my surgery for a deviated septum,1-1/2 years ago. I had 100% pain control with no pharmaceutical pain meds whatsoever.
Here is what I did for myself and all my friends who have had to have various surgery's and it has worked well for all of us.
We took an empty 15 Ml. Bottle and quadrupled the recipe:
20 drops of Valerian
20 Vetiver
10 Heilchrysum
5 Clove
5 Peppermint.
Then you get size "00" vegi caps.
We would fill about 3 or 3-1/2 capsules for one pain treatment. We all monitored ourselves and took them according to our pain levels and how often that was, was dependent on the individual. At first I was taking a treatment every 2-1/2 hours, but by the second day i could stretch it to about 4 or 5 hours. I have also used this formula for a horrible back pain and in just one treatment it completely healed it.
Now that was amazing!
Another reason to pre-make it up like this in the 15 ml. bottle is if its for a post surgery then you and your friends will not have to keep making each treatment up. You can also multiply the recipe by even more and put it into a 2 ml. glass bottle with an eye dropper and then that's really easy to get into the capsules. There were times i would only need to take 2 capsules as opposed to 3-1/2 capsules. That is when the pain was not as intense.
And I do believe Gary Young may give this pain formula to patients in a little water. So this is another way it can be taken as well.
It is difficult to express how strongly I recommend this amazing formula for anyone who is experiencing any kind of pain. And what else is fantastic is there are NO side effects and its cheaper and a whole lot safer than getting prescription pain meds and having to go to a doctor. The Valerian in it will make you sleepy so plan on not driving or doing too much while taking it.
Happy easy healing everyone!

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Thieves®
Thieves® Oil Blend is formulated with highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious essential oils. Thieves® Oil Blend was created based on research of a group of 15th century thieves in France who protected themselves by rubbing themselves with cloves,
rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This Young Living proprietary blend was university tested and found to
be highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health. This proprietary blend has also been documented to kill over 99.96%
of bacteria it comes into contact with.
Thieves® Oil Blend use directly from bottle, diffuse, or dilute with purified water to spritz.
Ingredients:
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) has a sweet, spicy fragrance that is stimulating and revitalizing. An important ingredient in Thieves® lend due to its wonderful immune-enhancing features, its principal constituent is eugenol, an element that is used in the dental industry
to numb gums. Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale.
Lemon (Citrus limon) has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that amplify immunity. It promotes circulation, leukocyte formation and
lymphatic function.
Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum) has the wonderful cinnamon scent loved around the world. Warming and stimulating, it is comforting during the
cold season. Many people find it highly romantic. Historically, cinnamon was so popular it was the main reason behind the occupation of Ceylon by
first the Portuguese, then the Dutch and then the British.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) is cooling, refreshing and energizing. Lighter in smell than Eucalyptus globulus, it nevertheless has many of the same health-supporting properties. Because it is relatively gentle and non-irritating, it is the preferred choice for children. This variety is one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils and is suitable for topical use, diffusing, and even direct inhalation. It has long been an ingredient in some of our most popular blends.
Rosemary* (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol) has a fresh, herbaceous, sweet, slightly medicinal aroma. An energizing oil, it may be beneficial for helping to restore mental alertness when experiencing fatigue.
* Caution: Do not use on children under 4 years of age.) It is also a popular ingredient in skin and hair care products.
What is Anti? -- "Against"
What is Microbial? -- "A minute living organism, minute forms of life, which are capable of causing disease including bacteria and fungi."
Essential Oils create an unfriendly environment which becomes deadly to disease causing bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.

(NaturalNews) The humble cold is one of the most common illnesses, leading to more doctor visits and absences from school and the workforce than any other illness every year. So what causes you to catch colds? Technically you do not “catch”
colds but, rather, become infected with a cold/flu bacteria or virus.
Whether you come down with a cold is due to the fact of whether your immune system is working at its best to ward off invaders. When we function at our optimal level, our immune system – which protects us from invading bacteria and other micro-organisms – can cope. However, when we are stressed our immune system is greatly challenged and that is when we spiral downwards because our healthy body frequency range is lowered, allowing the invading microbes to take over our system.
What is meant by Healthy Frequency?
Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points.
Every living thing has a frequency, including our brain and our bodies. Electrical frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), kilohertz (kHz), and megahertz (MHz). The average frequency of a healthy human body is between 62 - 78 Hz.
How is all of this known?
In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, a division of Eastern Washington State University, developed new equipment to measure electrical frequency in humans and foods. This equipment was used in a research study at Johns Hopkins University to determine the relationships between frequency and diseases. Tainio found the average frequency of a human body is between 62 - 78 Hz, the upper body being between 70 - 78 Hz and the lower from 62 - 70Hz.
Further support for these findings is given by Dr. Robert O. Becker M.D. in his book, The Body Electric, who also explains that a person's health can be determined by the frequency of the person's body.
Another doctor and scientist, whose research has been buried for some time but has managed to resurface due to the work of avid supporters, is Dr. Royal Raymond Rife M.D. who developed a frequency generator in the late 1920’s. In brief, Rife successfully treated 1,000 patients diagnosed with incurable cancer in the 1930’s. He was honoured with 14 awards and an honorary doctorate. After the unsuccessful attempt by pharmaceutical companies to buy out his research and equipment, his office was ransacked, his research paperwork was stolen and the machine that healed all those 1,000 “incurable” cancer patients was destroyed.
In 1934, before this destruction occurred, the University of Southern California appointed a Special Medical Research Committee to bring terminal cancer patients from Pasadena County Hospital to Rife's San Diego Laboratory and clinic for treatment. The team included doctors and pathologists assigned to examine the patients
- if still alive - in 90 days.
After the 90 days of treatment, the Committee concluded that 86.5% of the patients had been completely cured. The treatment was then adjusted and the remaining 13.5% of the patients also responded within the next four weeks. The total recovery rate using Rife's technology was 100%, (http://www.rife.org) .
What Rife had developed was a 100% effective cure for many forms of cancer. So why do we not know about this and why are there so many cancer research foundations in existence? Put simply, it is due to the economic motives of the orthodox medical community, which relies on funding for cancer research - such funding often coming from pharmaceutical companies - and whose fortunes would be damaged if a cure for cancer was found.
(That is, it’s OK to search for a cure but not really find one!)
“In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy." - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine (1937)
What Rife proved is that every health disorder has a frequency, which in turn responds
(resonates) to a specific (optimal) frequency for its dissolving/healing in the body. People who maintain their optimal frequency, at least of their immune system, would prevent development of symptoms and illnesses associated with the common cold. Of course, in practise this does not work for most of us because, being human, we experience stress and emotional challenges on a daily basis, which lower our body's frequency.
Hence, we need to raise our body frequency regularly/daily with the right substances that are compatible at the cellular and energetic level of our being, rather than wait until our body frequency has dropped so low that it becomes a friendly host for microscopic invaders.
How can this be proven?
According to a report (Epidemiology, May 2001; 11:345-349), psychological stress - particularly the chronic type that may accompany a personality with a negative outlook - is a risk factor for contracting colds. An optimistic outlook and outgoing personality seemed to protect individuals, researchers found.
The findings indicate that high levels of psychological stress are closely associated with contracting the common cold. While the common cold is rarely a serious health hazard, it is responsible for about 30 million days of lost work in the U.S.
To investigate whether stress increased the likelihood of developing a cold, the researchers surveyed more than 1,100 Spanish university staff and students at regular intervals over a one year period. The study focused on different types of stress, including stress from life events, perceived stress, having a generally negative outlook, anxious or compulsive personality, compared with having a positive outlook/attitude to life.
Individuals with a negative outlook were at greatest risk of developing colds - regardless of their intake of vitamin C and zinc or their smoking and drinking habits.
The next highest-risk individuals were those who believed that they were under stress. These people were nearly three times as likely to develop a cold, according to the report.
Why should Antibiotics be avoided?
Colds can be contracted as the result of contact with more than 200 different viruses. However, among all of the cold viruses, the rhinovirus and the coronavirus cause the majority of colds. Each time you have a cold, it is caused by a distinct virus - e.g. adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, and coronavirus. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. They are tiny clusters of genetic material surrounded by a protein ‘wrapper’.
Medical science currently does not have any drugs that can kill these viruses. Antibiotics, including penicillin, do not have any effect on viruses. They are only used to treat secondary bacterial infections that can further complicate the effects of a cold.
How Are Colds Actually Contracted?
The most common source of infection is not from coughing or sneezing, or walking barefoot in the rain, but from hand-to-hand contact. That is why, when you have a cold, washing your hands frequently is very important. The likelihood of contracting the cold virus increases, however, if one is overtired and physically exhausted.
Most uncomplicated colds last eight to nine days; about 25% last two weeks; and 5-10% last three weeks.
As long as one’s temperature remains below 38.8 degrees Celsius, there is no need to lower it.
Cold viruses do not reproduce at higher body temperatures. In fact, a slight fever should help us get rid of the virus quicker and feel better much sooner. It is our body’s own way of ridding itself of toxins.
Why are Aspirin and Tylenol counterproductive?
A study (J Infect Dis, Dec 1990; 162(6):1277-82) showed that people who take aspirin and Tylenol
(acetaminophen) suppress their body's ability to produce antibodies that destroy the cold virus.
This actually causes the body to take longer to fight the cold and it accounts for any secondary infections and post-nasal drip.
What Can Be Done to Prevent Getting the Common Cold?
While orthodox medicine does not have the answer for colds and 'flu', nature does - it comes in the form of pure organic unadulterated Therapeutic Essential Oils. Why? Because they are made up of very high frequency molecules (ranging from 52MHz to 320MHz) and contain nature’s wisdom and power to raise the body’s frequency and to assist our immune system in fighting viral invasions.
For greater clarity, organic Therapeutic Essential Oils are not the same as everyday aromatherapy oils, which are produced for fragrance and other purposes.
We now know that, in order to prevent colds, we need our immune system to be working in top gear and our overall body frequency to be in its optimal range. Our optimal range of body frequency can be lowered by negative thoughts/emotions, stress, blood chemistry imbalance, and ingested chemicals, which allow us to contract colds and viruses in the first place.
Research has found that the high frequency of essential oils creates an environment where bacteria, fungi and viruses cannot survive.
Essential oils provide a high frequency environment for the body.
Researchers have found that some essential oils - oregano, thyme and rosewood oils, in particular - create an autolytic (destruction of cells and tissues by enzymes produced by the cells,
themselves) reaction in organisms, including streptococcus pneumonia. Dr. Diane Horne of Weber State University Ogden , Utah
When Dr. Horne’s co-researcher was spraying aromatic oils in the laboratory, Dr. Horne looked at the streptococcus pneumonia bacteria that she was preparing for another experiment and noticed that its cells were literally falling apart. Dr.
Horne and co-worker Sue Chao, of the Young Living Essential Oils Company of Payton , Utah
Horne pointed out that the oils also proved to be a powerful remedy against E. coli (a bacterium and virus in one) and several species of fungi.
What these tests revealed is that essential oils, such as oregano, clove, cinnamon, rosewood and rosemary, are so powerful that viruses and bacteria cannot survive in their presence. That is, the viruses and bacteria are destroyed when they come into contact with these therapeutic essential oils.
Dr. Horne and the Young Living Essential Oils company are not the only ones who now use therapeutic essential oils for destroying viruses and bacteria. Up until a decade ago, France
French aromatherapy doctors employ the
aromatogram, where a sample is taken from the infected area of the patient, cultivated in a laboratory, and then subjected to various essential oils to find the most effective oil to treat the infection for the specific patient.
They have found that different oil combinations work better when the oil combination is specifically blended for a patient. Even if various patients suffer from the same strain of bacteria, some oils seem to work better on certain people than on others.
While this is an over-simplification of the serious medicinal aspects of aromatherapy, it is helpful, nevertheless, in demonstrating the effectiveness of therapeutic essential oils in the medical arena.
In this particular field of essential oil therapy, there are some prominent medical doctors, such as Dr. Lapraz and Dr. Duraffourd of Paris
How Do Essential Oils Exert Such Powerful Effects In Our Bodies?
Chemically, essential oils’ cell structure is very similar to the human cell structure. The essential oil of a plant and the human blood share several common properties.
The 4 primary elements in both human beings and essential oils:
* Plant Cells - carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen
* Human Cells - carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen
This shared chemistry makes essential oils one of the most compatible of all plant substances with human biochemistry. In addition, essential oils have a protein-like structure that is similar to that found in human cells and tissues, which allows the human protein cell structure to readily identify and accept the chemical constituents (powerful healing properties) of essential oils.
Essential oils have been proven to fight infection, improve the immune system and, because they contain hormone-like compounds, are very effective in initiating cellular/tissue regeneration. Why do they do this? Simply, because it is their job; because Mother Nature intended them to do so in order to protect the plants, themselves. Let’s examine how...
Working as the chemical defence mechanism of the plant, essential oils possess potent antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties. Essential oils are the plant liquid containing the Life Force of a plant. Analogous with the human body, essential oils are the blood plasma of a plant. They are volatile liquids distilled from various parts of plants, including seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit (essential oils are sensitive to heat and should not be burned, as that destroys their therapeutic properties).
If a leaf or any part of a plant has been cut or damaged for some reason, the plant releases a liquid substance that protects it from further damage from microbes, bacteria, and viruses, and helps the plant to regenerate itself. This liquid is the essential oil that helps the plant to survive, which is why essential oils are called essential. Put simply, without it, the plant can’t survive. This same principle works in a very similar way in the human body, due to the fact that essential oils can permeate our tissues by being so highly compatible with our cell structure. How can this be possible?
It is possible because essential oils are complex substances, each containing 80 – 300 compounds of different chemical constituents, and all these compounds work synergistically. Hence, nature’s wisdom is encoded in the life force of a plant.
Because essential oils are the life force of a plant, they need to be treated with the utmost professional respect and understating in order to retain their powerful healing properties.
So, how therapeutic are they?
Just follow your nose! The smell of the oil reveals how pure and potent it is. For example, when inhaling any oil - particularly peppermint, lavender or rosemary - the smell should linger on in the brain and have a very fresh smell. If it has a very sharp tinge to it or causes a sudden sharp sensation in the any part of the head, it contains chemicals which are ‘playing’ with the neurotransmitters and receptor sites in your brain. It also helps if you ask the company where and how they distill the oils and what chemicals are used. Many essential oil companies still use solvents in the process of distillation. You can tell by the smell. Why do they do it? Because distillation is a very expensive process, which requires time, care and integrity.
A brief look at some essential oils and the results of research so far:
Oregano is very aggressive against all microbes and it helps with digestive problems and is anti-inflammatory. Oregano and cinnamon tested at 95% efficiency against candida, E. coli and streptococcus strains.
Thyme oil is very powerful oil on viruses and has demonstrated protective properties for liver, kidneys and the heart due to its very high antioxidant properties.
Fennel oil, strengthens digestion, expels parasites and supports and raises overall metabolism.
Fennel and Juniper together exert a warming effect on the kidneys; very helpful during winter.
Cinnamon is 99.9% effective against all viruses.
Ebola virus cannot survive in the presence of pure unadulterated cinnamon.
Rosemary is effective for parasites, fungi and, therefore, candida.
Clove is highly protective, and is the most powerful antioxidant in nature.
In summary, orthodox medicine has no cure for the common cold and the latest mainstream advice for preventing colds comes from studies on stress, stating to just avoid stress. This is neither possible nor realistic for the majority of the population as stress is always there in some way, emotional or just the demands of the 21st century. Extensive scientific research has proven that essential oils are quite capable of fighting the common cold because they are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory.
Using Grade-A organic therapeutic essential oils may help your immune system to ward off the attacks of the common cold as well as destroy other microbial invasions, such as candida infections, viruses and parasites. As essential oils are very high frequency molecules, ranging from 52MHz - 320MHz, they are able to raise our overall body frequency (which is 62-78 Hz when in its healthy range) every time we use them. This way, essential oils are the best ammunition against the common cold as well as destroying unwelcome microbial invasions, along with the daily dose of genuine positive thinking.

I have found amazing results using Young Living Essential Oils
and Wolfberry Juice in the nursing home setting”
- Nida Gonzales, MSRD, Registered Dietitian from Jersey City, NJ.
Nida Gonzales has been instrumental in implementing several
programs in nursing homes using 'Young Living Therapeutic
Grade Essential Oils' for mood and sleep management and
wound care. She has also had success using Young Living
'Ningxia Red' nutrient infusion for nutritional support and
appetite stimulation.
In documented studies, results showed improvements in these
areas: speed of wound healing, quality of sleep, and an increase
of appetite and energy. Furthermore, patients who benefited
from the oils were also able to decrease the amount of
medication they had to take, which provided an additional
overall health benefit.
Hello Maria, At this year's YL convention general session meeting,
a registered dietitian, Nida Gonzales, spoke about the oils she was
allowed to use in a nursing home in NJ. A 91 year old resident at
the nursing home came down with MRSA. What the registered
dietitian did was diffuse Lemongrass in the lady's room everyday
and in a month the MRSA was completely gone. (The diffusing was
continued for another month, after the MRSA was tested gone.)
Your friend may want to do that and also apply some topically to
the infected area. Rubbing the oil neat on the soles of the feet
would be very beneficial as well. By the way, the nursing home
was so impressed by the oils, (including the doctors) that they
are using them in place of some of the drugs.

We had testimony after testimony yesterday on how the oils can
help emotionally sooooo much. They do help so much in calming
people down, lifting moods, etc. One young lady spoke (Nida
Gonzales, and I sat at the same table with her at lunch afterwards)
who is a dietician for a LARGE (I saw the pictures) nursing home
operation in Jersey City NJ and she alone has (over time) gotten
ALL the nurses and 10 of the doctors on her side with the oils,
because she proved over time, case by case, how they
affected/improved the lives of so many individuals They have
now moved all their patients with mental dysfunction onto two
floors (this is a multi-storied building covering, it looked like, a
city block) and today they have ALL of those patients OFF of their
anti-depressant medications and they did that by diffusing the YL
essential oils.

When I retired in 2003, the Army told me I was disabled.
I had Diabetes Mellitis II, early onset, probably stress
induced, my doctor assessed, and high cholesterol. In
2004 we moved from Texas to PA, and that's where I met
Quin the following year. I met with her for my first Raindrop Therapy. The next visit she did some muscle testing to see what my body needed. It needed NingXia Red, EndoFlex and Progessence. After 60 days of using these three things more faithfully than my medications, I had a lab workup. I was on Glucophage for the Diabetes and Lipitor for the high cholesterol for the past year but this time the lab results revealed
favorable numbers. My doctor asked if I'd been
exercising and dieting. I told him "no." I was hesitant to let him know that I was doing Naturopathic remedies.
But he pressed me and I told him. He said keep doing what your doing since it's working. I finally lost weight, inadvertently due to NingXia Red. As a disabled Veteran, they required me to have lab work every 90 days and at
the next visit, he told me my blood sugar levels were in the normal range. My cholesterol dropped and that I could be weaned off my meds. I was so thankful! Today, I'm drug free and a healthier version of me thanks to Quin
and Young Living. That was three years ago and I'm still living abundantly and excellently as well as earning income from sharing my story with others!

Young Living puts a great deal of cutting edge research into the production of all their nutritional
products. I have included an article that explains why this is so and validates my feelings that I have seen over the past 15 years of using these health supplements. Here is an article that reveals the source of the probiotic super strains in Young Living's Life 5.
“While Animal Scents™ Ointment is fantastic for helping cuts and scrapes heal on my horses, I also use it for several other purposes. I decided that if it is good for living skin, it should be good for leather too. I use it to condition my saddles, bridals, and all of my leather horsey stuff. It is also great for leather shoes, purses, whatever you can think of. It does not damage or change the leather, which is very important.”
