AT Courses ** Reference Publications ** EO Disinfectant Spray?

[Guest guest]

Hey Jonee,

 

> Hey, Butch - thanks for the reply!

 

Welcome you are.

 

> Your reply was what my common sense was telling me.

 

Good show on that. :-p

 

> This is for a person who should know a lot more about any of this

> stuff than me,

 

Hard to say on that .. some folks have been into AT and EO for a helluva

lot longer than I have and I'm amazed at some of the things they write.

I'm thinking that they read one or two of the novels written by some of

the writers who author unreferenced works based on and copied from other

unreferenced works. There's one writer out there that is about to have

to deal with some protest from me due to their slinging bovine excrement

about a certain EO on their website. They're either gonna have to put

up some facts or take down the garbage .. or I am gonna give them a lot

of promotion .. which they're not gonna like. ;-p

 

Anyway, you might know a lot more than this person. Ten years of

experience sometimes translates to one year ten times.

 

In this business, we have to make informed decisions. A good way to do

that is to take a credible course on AT and EO. Considering that its

still Thursday (Ad day) in the USA .. I'm gonna tell y'all about a super

fine course. ;-p

 

There's a relatively new course out by Martin Watt. It has received

raves from the many people who have taken it .. even from those who

previously took other courses. If one wishes to pay via credit card,

they can go through me for a registration number and receive a 10%

discount on Option 1 of the course. If that person owns Plant Aromatics

(Full-Version - 142 pages) they will get an additional $13 discount as

the course includes a Mini-Version Plant Aromatics (44 pages) which will

then not be provided. The course can be reviewed at this URL:

In fact, I recommend people go to Martin's site and just read some of

the good articles there http://www.aromamedical.demon.co.uk

 

I'll also point out the two reference publications that are considered

by most folks to be the foundations of aromatherapy and essential oils:

 

1. The ONLY safety manual on proven safe dilutions for dermal

application is Plant Aromatics. The old edition was $75 .. I published

the new, revised edition and offer it for $43.90 .. it can now be seen

and ordered at URL http://www.av-at.com/plantaromaticsavnp.html I am

the exclusive dealer of this publication in North and South America.

First printing was November 2001 .. we just finished the 3d printing.

 

2. The other foundation document for AT and EO, Sylla Shepherd-Hanger's

Aromatherapy Practitioner Reference Manual, can be seen at this URL

http://www.AV-AT.com/manual01.html This is a desk side reference that

folks in the industry consider as a required reference.

Bad news does not improve with age .. ;-p In fact, you might recommend

this person read the information I've provided above.

Not knowing more than I do, it sounds like a lack of care situation.

The idea of disinfecting a young child's hands instead of helping them

to wash them .. and teaching them to wash them .. is sorta a turn-off.

I won't go into diet and the personal attention kids need cause I'd be

preaching to the choir on this list .. and obviously, there will be some

mothers who can't afford the luxory of being full-time stay-at-home

mothers. I wouldn't criticize till I walked a while in their shoes.

 

> I have some of your fine oregano - I will suggest a spray with a bit

> of that for her to try, the kids might as well smell like pizza

> inside AND out, eh? LOL!

 

She might wanna try it on her own hands frequently first. ;-p As for

smelling like pizza .. as much as I love garlic, I reckon I'd rather

smell pizza on the OTHER feller than I would garlic. ;-)

 

> Anyway, I will talk with her about all this tomorrow. Need to learn

> to listen to my gut better!

 

We all jump at times .. I do it more often when I'm tired and grouchy -

like right now. ;-p But as you learn more and more about AT and EO,

you'll soon find that the rules don't need to be memorized .. they are

pretty basic and pretty logical. When I lecture, first thing I tell

folks is " put the pencils and pads away, " cause folks can't listen and

learn whilst they be taking copious notes. ;-p Reference publications

are just that .. references .. nobody is gonna remember everything in

those publications because they are virtual dictionaries or maybe even

encyclopedias of valuable info .. but if they're nearby, we know where

to turn when we need that info. I use mine daily .. both the above pubs

are within arm's reach of my desk and they're both dog-eared.

 

> Good hearing from you, as always, Butch. Ever a wealth of logical

> information, thanks.

 

Thankee m'am ... appreciate the kind words. But this is one of the many

things I do for a living, which means we gotta retain a bit of the logic

of the situation. And besides that, even a blind hawg can find an acorn

now and then ... so I gotta be right sometime. ;-p

I figgered that .. not a boo boo. ;-p

 

> My only excuse is that it's been one looooong day!! Jonee

 

Damn betcha on that one. Its after 8:15 in the morning here now and

though I was planning to go home and crash a few hours ago .. somehow I

sorta got wrapped around the axle and here I sit. :-( On a normal day,

I'd just go home and crash till the Spirit told me to get up .. but I

got a good buddy coming down from the Black Sea Coast today .. Chief of

Police of Samsun Province .. and I gotta spend time with him plus eat

some chow and drink a few toddies with him tonight. I betcha I don't

have any problems sleeping come late tonight. ;-p

 

Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
