hehehehe---more doTERRA correspondence

[Guest guest]

A client of mine has an acquaintance that has started selling doTERRA. My

client sent the new MLM participant a link to Marcia's blogpost regarding

their CPTG and poo-poohed about not all of their blends being in amber

bottles. This is the response that was received from the 'consultant':

I would like to see some real independent testing, as I do believe they are

setting themselves up. I would look for pesticides, phthalates and

hydroperoxides, as well as fingerprinting.
