Re: Was: Melly/Stevia - Now - Young Living Essential Oils

[Guest guest]

http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/young.html I certainly don't believe

all quackwatch info is accurate or true, but I've never seen a credible

refutation of their info re Young. In fact the only refutation I

got at all when discussing the quackwatch claims re Young online

was from a woman who said she believed in YL and Young because at

her YL distributor training he gave a speech and shed tears.

There used to be online (at Kobashi?) a letter from the company YL

claims " certifies " their oils, and that company claims it does NOT

certify oils, but will certify a company, for a fee, LOL. (I do not ifnd

that info online now, and lost the saved copy I had in a computer crash

last year).

http://www.kobashi.co.uk/ which actually does seem to test their oils

for contaminants, etc. No " certification " from a company that

" certifies " a company (but not the company's products) for a fee.

I also did a lot of reading about how YL recommends using their oils,

and found many sites with info on adverse reactions to raindrop therapy,

and also liver damage in cats from using essential oils on cats. Also

read some info from a professional association for aromatherapy

practitioners that had negative info and warnings about the way YL uses

oils.

YL is a mega profitable company, with a jillion distributors, so

googling for info about them and their oils turns up a tidal wave of

sites/people selling and promoting the company, and it can be hugely

time consuming to keep searching for independent info on them, because

there are so many promoting sites to sift through to get " the other side " .

This is NOT to say their oils are inferior, just that I do not consider

them anything special or worth the inflated prices, and I personally

think the way they recommed using their oils is risky, if not

dangerous. For cats, their recommendations can be fatal (liver damage) See

Thank you Sol for the link to Quack Watch and Young Living. On further

search, I see that Dr. Barrett, author of the article on Young,

is founder and owner of Quack Watch and seems to have a career of poo pooing

anything outside of allopathic treatments. I wonder which pharmaceutical

company owns him. I would love to see his take on all of us celebrating the

uses of VCO.

[Guest guest]

Yep. Barrett is a quack all right. But not everything on the quackwatch

site is authored by him, nor is it all false. One just has to be

careful. Quackwatch info on silver for example, is a total crock. Which

I was able to establish by many other sources debunking the silver

quackwatch article.

OTOH, I have not been able to find refutation of any of the Young

Living/ Young info, aside from the flat statement from YL

distributors that it is " not true " . If it isn't true, you'd think

someone would have some links to prove that the references were made up

or falsified. So far (around 5 years) none.

, if you are not right on, you are very very close.

I remember someone saying that the guy at Quackwatch

was, at one time, into natural stuff himself and through

that he got hauled through court.  Then, the story went,

they made a deal with him to run the Quackwatch site.

I don't know how true that story is but irregardless, I

don't believe a word he says.  It sounds too much like it

is coming from the drug companies.

As far as essential oils is concerned, there was and still

is a lot of competition in these oils.  I always thought

Young Living 's oils were amongst the finest.  I think

most of the bad rumors we hear about Young is

from a woman who sells the oils.  I ran into her once

on a forum and she is hell bent on getting him for some

reason, no matter what.  No, I don't remember her

name.

Sol, I would be interested in seeing the references made

to Young Living products.  Can you supply them?

One of the problems with the essential oils is that it is

far too easy to cut them with other oils, chemical liquids

and etc.  The only way you are going to know if the oils

are pure is to have them tested and even then it would

depend on the lab and how much they knew about these

types of oils. 

I loved the Young Living Essential Oils and as soon as I

can I intend to buy them again.  I met Young and

I could not say if he is trustworthy or not but one thing

I know is that he is very passionate about his oils.

I have quite an assortment of essential oils, and can attest that in my

case, the Young Living live up to their claims.

The other brands are somewhat effective and in some cases, there is not much

difference in price.

On a daily basis, I use, Release, Peace and Calming, White ,

Lavender, and Tangerine. All but the Tangerine are from YL.

I've been using essential oils from Appalachian Valley Natural Products for

years and I think they are the best. Some of my

favorites are rosemary, peppermint, oregano.

I absolutely love Mountain Rose Herbs for essential oils, bulk herbs,

teas and body care products.
