Dangerous claims for oils

July 16, 2008

For a good example of the kind of very dangerous and outrageously

wrong information on the internet about essential oils, take a look at

this link.

This is an Indian web site masquerading as being an information

resource about organic production. In my view, it is just one more of

the many information web sites established in order to make money via

the outrageous Google linking system where they direct people to some

of the biggest con artists on the internet.

One of the companies listed on their links is a UK based oil supplier

(naturallythinking) who until recently were making illegal medicinal

claims. It took over a year for the Medicines Control Agency to take

any action and then it was simply to refer them to a UK TRADE

association to clean up their site. Clearly a company that was

ignorant, or did not care, about the laws on the supply of essential

oils in the UK.

Companies that are ignorant of public safety issues, the laws of their

land, or who choose to ignore them, are not ones I would deal with. It

would concern me that they also do not care about the quality of what

they sell.
