Last month, in Part One of this article, we discussed how mold invades the body with the express purpose of feeding, reproducing and breaking down the organic materials that make up the body so it can be recycled. Mold is an organism that doesn't know, or care, whether you are dead or alive. And mold exposure can and does cause serious illness.
Essential oils and products enhanced with essential oils are, we believe, the answer to the problems created by mold in buildings, and in our bodies.
People contact us and ask:
- What can I do about mold in my body?
- What can I do about mold in my blood?
- What can I do about this or that type of fungal infection?
Based on clients reports back to us, the more they learn, and the more they pay attention to their own body and make necessary changes based on what is working for them, the better they feel.

What and how much you choose to do is strictly up to you and you agree and understand that this information is provided solely for educational purposes, and that you hold and save harmless the authors and agree that they have no liability in regards to the choices you make about your health. We are not medical doctors, not health care professionals, and can only offer the following educational information [Please see the entire REQUIRED DISCLAIMER at the end of this newsletter].
Following is the information we provide to those who ask...
First, it is important that you knowthat we are not medical doctors and not licensed health care professionals. We cannot tell you what to do, but are happy to share information with you that has helped others, so that you can use the information to make informed decisions that work best for you.
If dealing with mold exposure, personally, we would take the following oils in a 00 (double aught) veggie capsule every 3-4 hours:
- 10 drops Thieves oil
- 4 drops Frankincense oil
- 2-4 drops Oregano oil (if you do not have ulcers)
Veggie capsules are available at most health food stores and from Young Living.
Sometimes, if we don't see a response within about 36 -72 hours, we reduce the Thieves oil and add 2 drops of Clove, or Cinnamon, or Thyme oil, or Mountain Savory or Melissa instead of the Oregano oil. *** Safety Note: Do not use Oregano if you have ulcers. Use Mountain Savory or Melissa instead.
If you cannot make the 00 capsules mentioned above, you could instead take one ready-made capsule of Inner Defense and one Longevity capsule, every 3 hours. The products are both available in ready-made capsules from Young Living Essential Oils. Contact the person who referred you to this information if you are not a member of Young Living. If you do not have someone that can help you, then you are welcome to use the Contact Us link on our website www.MoldRx4u.com for assistance or a referral.
We also find it very helpful to drink 2-4 oz of NingXia Red Juice twice a day (morning and noon), diluted half and half with pure water. NingXia Red is an antioxidant drink that is made up of whole fruits (not concentrates) and is the only nutrient rich infusion drink available that also contains essential oils. Even though this delicious juice drink has oils added to it, we add an additional 1-2 drops of Lemon oil or the Citrus Fresh oil blend. Citrus Oils have d-limonene which has been studied the world over and found to have many benefits, including the ability to prevent, stop, and reverse cancer. Plus it makes the juice taste even better than it already does. I actually prefer this juice undiluted, but many find it a bit tart due to the organic wolfberries, raspberries, apricot, blueberry, pomegranate and other whole foods included in the nutritious drink.
To cleanse and fortify the entire body system, we use:
- The 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse
- The Cleansing Trio, take it every day as directed for at least a month, and preferably for 3 months
- Core Supplements Complete, or at the very least True Source and Life 5
Additionally, we:
1. Eliminate Fungi, yeast products (breads), sugars and sodas from the diet.
2. Diffuse Thieves oil everywhere, especially in sleeping quarters.
3. Drink at least 1/2 the body's weight in ounces of water every day.
......100 lbs = 50 ounces of pure water
......150 lbs = 75 ounces of pure water
......175 lbs = 87.5 ounces of pure water
......200 lbs = 100 ounces of pure water
......Every day.
4. Get a Raindrop at least once a month, and preferably every 2-3 weeks, by someone who has been trained by CARE. You can find a list of their certified teachers on their website www.raindroptraining.com/. There are others who are good at doing Raindrop, but since Jacqui has worked for and with CARE and knows their protocols, we recommend their teachers and certified practitioners without hesitation.
We have diffusers in almost every room of our home and always take a diffuser with us when we travel. We use only the cold-air diffuser with the 6.0 Watts pump currently available on our website www.MoldRx4u.com. As a result, we avoid mold exposure and rarely have colds or flu.
We alternate diffusing Thieves, Purification, and a blend of 30 drops Lemon or Citrus Fresh with 30 drops Abundance. Abundance has clove and cinnamon oils in it - which have been shown by laboratory testing to have antifungal/antibacterial properties. Sometimes we diffuse 10 drops lemongrass, 10 drops eucalyptus (any of them or the blend called RC) and 3-5 drops melaleuca (any of them or the blend called Melrose) oils together - these are also great antifungal agents.
All of the products mentioned above are available from Young Living. If you have questions about the products or how to use them, please contact the person who referred you to this website.
According to Dr. Jean Valnet, MD, and Dr. Daniel Penoel, MD, you can use essential oils without fear of any long-term negative effects. And, according to their research, the body does not become habituated to essential oils, meaning you do not need to take them indefinitely or to continue increasing the amount you take.
Jacqui Says: In my personal experience, I found that over time, as I have addressed the basis of the problem that created the illness, I use less and less of the oils for that problem. For example, when I first started with Young Living in 1999, I used a full 15 ml bottle of PanAway and Valor every month for my chronic sciatica and fibromyalgia. I had no hope when I started of every being free from pain. I only hoped to manage the pain so I didn't have to see a Chiropractor 3-5 times a week. At the end of six months, when I went to check my bottles and re-order, the bottles were nearly full. My pain had disappeared! That was in 2000, and I am still pain free today. Plus, I use maybe 1 bottle each of Valor or PanAway in a year now, not in a month. And I actually give more of it away in little samples than I use on myself.
Dr. Daniel Penoel, MD, says become "Aromatic Warriors" when there is something of a potentially dangerous nature affecting us. We certainly adhere to that advice. What and how much you do is determined by what type of mold you have and what type of disease or illness you are dealing with - we cannot diagnose and prescribe, only offer information.
Following are the items mentioned above as options you have for dealing with mold in the body. All of the items are either f.ree or available from Young Living Essential Oils, or the websites mentioned in the text above. Be sure to ask the person who shared this information with you how you can get your oils and supplements at wholesale prices.
