Toxins at the Root of Disease
Posted by: | Comments
Many health experts agree that toxins in our system are the root cause of virtually every chronic or even acute diseases. Some go so far as to say the viruses, etc do not exist on thier own, that they go through a micro-evolution in our systems when we are full of acids and toxic build up.
I will leave those detailed disputes to micro-biologists because it seems a no-brainer to me that toxic build up in our body’s systems can be at least as devastating to our health as crud in the fuel, oil or air filters is to our cars.
So what are our choices? There are many. Dedication and education is needed to more fully understand.
We Change our Air Filters and our Oil Filters!
There are different cleanses needed for different of our organ systems… Just like we have a fuel filter, an oil filter and air filter on our cars. Make sense?
Most of us have a lot of undigested food in our intestinal tract. Reports indicate that even the prep tests prior to a colonoscopy can be inadequate to clear the mucus from the walls to allow a clear picture of the whole tract.
So, my vote is to start with the gut. A good intestinal cleanse will clear the colon so that when you begin a cleanse of otehr areas, the liver, gall bladder, etc, the toxins released by those areas can be easily eliminated. This one is often also the most powerful for increasing energy and flexibility for people. (For this I like the Cleansing Trio or the 5 Day Nutritive Cleanse from Young Living . )
I also like the Raindrop Technique…. because therapeutic quality essential oils are also natural solvents, they can loosen stuck molecules from our receptor sites so that they can be released and float away on the water going through our system. (When you find a Raindrop Practitioner, be sure that they are using Young Living essential oils, these are the only American produced oils that are both pure AND tested for therapeutic quality.) Raindrop can also enhance other cleansing modalities like colon hydro-therapy or ion footbaths.
Lack of water is one of the reasons we get a build up of toxins in the first place. Think about it, you would not canoe in a dried up creek – would you? We need water to deliver nutrients into cells, to fill the cell itself and to take waste products out of the cell. Normal intake of water (NOT Coffee, soda or juice- these increase our need for water to process them) is 2 oz for each 1 pound of body weight. If you are sick, detoxing, exercising, working icrease that amount. AND here in Texas adn the Southwest we should drink nearly twice the reccommended amount simply because of the temperatures.
- We add to our toxin load with the foods we eat… antibiotics in our feed animals, chemicals on the plants, then there are presevatives and artificial flavors and MSG.
- Stress creates an acid environment in our bodies- an added toxicity level and great home for germs.
- Waste products are manufactured in each cell as it conducts metabolic processes to make energy from the food molecules. This stuff has to get out somehow.
Even with an absolutely organic diet, even in clean mountain air, our bodies still produce toxins- by-products of living- that must be eliminated. We have limited ways to do this… urine, feces, breath, sweat…. all require water and all can use some additional help. Therapeutic Quality essential oils can assist us – after- all that is what they do within the plant and they will perform the same function within our bodies.
Each of us has a different background, genetic make up and habits, so each has a different toxin combination and each will need a slightly different set of cleanses to be free of them. Again, my vote for starters is a good intestinal cleanse, and building a healthy digestive system with enzymes and probiotics.
Essential Oils are Effective Against MRSA
Posted by: | CommentsEssential oils usually used in aromatherapy have been found to kill the deadly MRSA bacteria according to research carried out at The University of Manchester, UK.
Tests revealed that three essential oils killed MRSA and E. coli as well as many other bacteria and fungi within just two minutes of contact. The oils can easily be blended and made into soaps and shampoos which could be used by hospital staff, doctors and patients in a bid to eradicate the spread of these deadly `super bugs’.
More research is needed- however, and since essential oils are natural plant products, the inability to patent them like a manufactured drug makes pharmaceutical companies hesitant to fund research into their effictiveness. Read more in Medical News Today
MRSA exists in the air and colinizes in the sinuses and sometimes on the skin of certain people. It is resistant to antibiotics. Researchers says now that it can spread in the same way as aids- only much more exaggerated sicne it is also airborne.
How to prevent it or start getting a handle on it? MRSA Watch has much information including these tips:
How can it be prevented
The media often focus on clean hospitals and clean hands as a key to combating MRSA. Others believe that this will only cut cases by 30% and that a diverse strategy is vital and will include:
- Clean Wards – especially surfaces and keyboards.
- Staff Screening – are they super carriers?
- Patient Screening – so that they can be de colonised and to avoid self infection.
- Hospital Equipment – because it can take the infection deep into a wound.
- Air Hygiene – to help prevent nasal colonisation
- Hand Hygiene – to prevent transport from patient to patient
- Antibiotic Restraint – because resistance grows from over prescription
- The Food Chain – is resistance also provoked by over use in the animals that we eat?
- Patient Isolation – this helps lesson the potential risk of airborne infection
- Lifestyle Choices – needle injected drugs and multiple sexual partners help spread chronic illnesses that emerge slowly
Some ideas include:
- Reducing antibiotics in food animals…. in Australia this was shown to reduce resistant bacteria in people.
- Use essential oils rather than commercial anti-bacterial soaps- just add the oils to a safe soap base (shower gel from Young Living is made entirely of ingredients you could eat!- don’t though it does not taste good. Those commercial ones have sweet propylene glycol in them, which can damage the kidneys, this does not.) Thieves essential oil blend is powerful and a whole line of cleaning and oral care products is available. www.ultimateantiseptics.com
- Diffuse essential oils to clean the air. (This has been successful in protecting nursing employees from MRSA in nursing homes.)
- Use essential oils, silver bandages, and other techinques in wound dressing.
- Disinfect keyboards with Thieves spray or a blend that you make yourself. Be sure to use only Therapeutic Quality oils you want a therapeutic result, not just a smell. Smells can be produced in a laboratory- like a plug-in air “freshner”.
- Rinse the sinuses with a neti pot or hydrofloss machine and a salt water mixture containing oils. See the article on sinus. Order this salt mixture here.
- Learn to protect your family by giving them Raindrop Technique treatments at home. Check for classes locally for professionals and “Mommies”
- Keep immune system strong by assuring correct spinal allignment and eliminate junk foods that create acid body.
- Do not rush to the doctor for antibiotics when you or your child gets the sniffles!
STAY AWARE! Become infomed! Mutations are occuring at an alarming rate due to vaccines, and over use of antibiotics.

Before Your Raindrop – Please Take Note
Posted by: | Comments- The Purpose of the Raindrop technique is to vitalize every organ, muscle and bone of the body at the cellular level through the oils, boosting the immune system, bringing the body into structural/electrical balance, and enabling the release of toxins or disease wherever they may be lodged- including those illnesses lodged in the mind and emotions. Raindrop technique is a non-secular art and science.
- Raindrop Technique is Most Effectively Performed in Silence- no music and no talking. This allows the facilitator to concentrate and serve as a better channel while allow2ing the client to interiorize their mind and assist in their own healing process. If talking is necessary (for instructional purposes, for example), it should be quietly or in a whisper. Dr. Young encourages both facilitator and client to engage in Raindrop with an attitude of prayer, acknowledging our Creator as the source of all health and well-being, and seeking His guidance at all times.
- The Client is the Principal Participant in and the Means of their own healing. The Facilitator is but a channel assisting the client to mobilize their own healing powers. The client should interiorize or center themselves and feel the body as it corrects and adjusts itself. The client should breathe deeply and in relaxed fashion.
- The Maladies of the Body and Mind are in layers. During any given Raindrop session only those layers that the client is ready to release will be released- both physical and emotional. Negative experiences are often our greatest teachers. That is the reason we sometimes hold on to them- because we still have something to learn from them. When the client feels something ready to be released, Dr. Young suggests this affirmation: “I lovingly and willingly release and let go all which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way.”
- Raindrop technique is a Complete Modality in and of Itself, that reaches to all levels of the body, mind and emotions. In general, its results are not improved when additional modalities (such as chiropractic, reflexology, etc. are added or inserted during the session. The objective of Raindrop is to awaken the receiver’s internal healing powers and any external manipulation at the time of the Raindrop interferes with that objective. Raindrop Technique alone is sufficient to awaken the self-healing powers of the client and does so in a way that delivers optimal benefit according to the readiness and willingness of the client at the time of treatment. At the completion of the Raindrop Technique session the client will have been lifted to a delicate state of balance and receptivity to healing energies. Employing additional modalities at that time can upset that balance and reduce the healing potential. While acupuncture, allopathic, chiropractic, reflexology and other therapeutic modalities can be enhanced when employed with essential oils, Raindrop Technique is generally best when done by itself. If needed or desired, other healing modalities can be employed later when the Raindrop Technique has had time to complete its work.
- Raindrop technique Stimulates Detoxification of the Body. Therefore it is crucial for the client to drink plenty of water following a therapy session and to avoid toxic fluids such as soda pop, coffee or alcohol. A good rule is to divide your weight in pounds by 2 and drink that number of ounces of pure water every day. Sometimes the detoxification process results in bodily soreness, headache, sinus drainage, coughing or rash on the skin. While unpleasant, these symptoms are temporary and are merely an indication that he technique is working and perhaps, saving you from a much more serious illness at a later time. If the colon, liver and kidneys are saturated with toxins and unable to function normally, the skin becomes the third organ of secretion- thus, a rash. If that happens, stop using oils for awhile and double your water intake. For the vast majority of Raindrop clients, there experience is a pleasant sense of improved wellbeing, relaxation and energization and in some cases chronic ailments have fallen away immediately or have disappeared soon after the session.
- Raindrop Technique can lead to permanent healing , but…. The correction or healing of maladies will vary widely among clients according to their needs going into the session and their willingness to release what ails them at the time. Not all problems can be solved in a single session. A state of ill health is usually the result of many years of accumulation of toxins and traumas- physical, mental, and spiritual. Each Raindrop Session can potentially correct something, but to completely return to a state of perfect health may take a series of sessions over time- Plus lifestyle changes in terms of diet, exercise, habits and environment. Raindrop technique cannot lead to permanent healing unless permanent changes are made by the client to eliminate the factors that led to the ill condition in the first place. What Raindrop Technique does is to help cleanse one of the consequences of past negative activities and affords one the opportunity to start afresh and get it right in the present and into the future.
- Strong Emotional Releases can Sometimes Occur with Raindrop since the oils, when inhaled go directly to the central brain which coordinates the memory of stored emotions. The oils also go directly to muscles, tissues and organs throughout the body where emotions can also be stored in cellular memory. Essential oils can penetrate cellular membranes and release these forgotten emotions. In rare instances, receivers may have a strong emotional response (such as crying, moaning, writhing, flailing of arms, etc.) Accept what you are witnessing as a necessary and beneficial healing process for that client. In such instances, the Raindrop session has provided what the client perceives as a safe environment to allow such expressions to manifest and work themselves out. It is best to say nothing got at eh most reassure them by saying quietly, “It’s okay” or “It’s alright” Stay with them for as long as it takes (which can be hours in some cases) but above all, never break physical contact with them.
- All the benefits of Raindrop May Not Be Immediately Apparent after the session. Adjustments can continue throughout the week following. Some clients experience a healing (occasionally dramatic) immediately upon receiving Raindrop. However, the completion of the benefits to the client’s mind, body and emotions takes place over a period of hours and days following the session and may not all be evident right away. Furthermore, some of the benefits amy be subtle and not noticed for awhile. What problems the client may have hoped would be corrected may not as yet be healed, thus waiting to be released in a future Raindrop Session. Meanwhile, unexpected healings may occur for chronic problems the client had not even thought of. One can never predict in advance what benefits Raindrop may bring in a given session. Therefore, evaluation of the benefits received from Raindrop Technique may take several days to assess.
- A Word About Skin Sensitivities. Therapeutic Grade essential oils (such as those from Young Living) are generally safe to apply neat to the skin without unpleasant reactions. However, people prone to allergies or whose bodies are in an acid condition or who have high levels of toxins may react to some oils and develop a rash form too rapid a detox following Raindrop. For such individuals, use half the recommended number of drops of oil and apply V6 and or valor to the back before applying any essential oil. For very sensitive people, try Raindrop with just OrthoEase and only one or two oils.
Anyone can do Raindrop- The healing is from God through the oils and the facilitator. No license or formal training is necessary. There are a variety of valid and effective ways to do Raindrop. While following a basic outline, the experienced facilitator may sometimes be led to vary the oils and the technique to fit the client according to their needs at the time. There may be some ways of applying the oils of Raindrop Technique that are more effective and some that are less effective but there are no ineffective ways to do Raindrop. Dr Young has cautioned that, “More is not necessarily better when you apply the oils.” Follow the guidelines for amounts of drops to apply found in the Raindrop notes but don’t worry if you apply a few more of less than suggested and don’t worry that your technique isn’t perfected. The important thing is to get the oils on the body where they can do their work.
