Young Living oils

[Guest guest]

Well, as an aromatherapist, I'd have to say that what was written on

Quackwatch doesn't cover the WHOLE story. Some of the more nasty stuff was

left out. It's not over the top. Young is scum. His oils are over priced (3x

what a GOOD retailer will sell oils for), the claims the company makes for

their oils are ludicrous, the oils themselves are in doubt as to purity. The

company does not give out ANY information about their oils, where they come

from, whether or not they are diluted or just plain adulterated. They lie

and manipulate the weak minded just to make money...

 

For more on this, check out http://www.aromaticsage.com There are several

articles there you can check out and there is also:

http://www.acemake.com/gta/ylfiles.html

 

The major rebuttal from those in the YL Company is that those of us who try

to point out these facts are just jealous because they make so much money.

That's IT! That's the only rebuttal they have and it's a down right stupid

thing to say.

 

There is more I could say, but at this point, I'll let you do the reading

for yourself and make up your own mind.

 

Hope that helps. Oh, I'm not Butch but I'm quite confident that Butch will

back up everything that I have said here and may even add some more. ;-)

someone else will give you the link to the old IDMA list archives of

discussions about YL...pro and con...mostlly con

 

There was a NAHA report specificallyabout raindrop therapy... you may read

it at http://www.naturesgift.com/RDT.htm

 

their oils are probably like a lot of huge vendors...some very good, some

not what they should be

 

it's their safety methods and dishonesty that appall most responsible

people working in this field.

I'll never use their products. Did once and never again - they were extremely

over priced and very low quality

I have been teaching some classes where we use essential oils in

product making and have had several people ask me about Young Living Oils.

I have never purchased any, but would love to get some feedback if

anyone on this list (esp Butch) has anything to say that will help me

be more informed for future questions. There is some info on

Quackwatch, but it seems to be over the top as far as its disbelief of

everything. I would like an aromatherapists view.

I was involved with YL for several years around 8 years ago. I went to

several conventions, visited their farm and watched the distilling process, saw

the

plants growing, etc. That part I was really impressed with. I drive past the

farm in Mona every time I visit my daughter who lives in southern Utah.

However, the farms cannot possibly produce all the oils they sell.

I purchased many of their oils and products. It was a learning experience. I

believe their oils are for the most part good quality, but high priced. I

really like some of the blends, but I even like my own blends better. I

understand he has re-formulated blends to contain more of the " cheaper " oils.

I think most problems were with the recommended uses of oils neat (as in

Raindrop therapy) and some ethical concerns about oil blends being diluted and

not labeled as such. Their diffusers are the best i have tried, however I don't

do business with them anymore. Gary Young is a very charismatic person, but I

have personal friends who have worked for him and then left, thoroughly

disenchanted with ethics, etc.

I went to high school with his wife Mary, but was not closely acquainted.

She was a member of the snobbish clique and that was 40 years ago.

I have written letters to Gary, asking questions, but have not been answered.

 

I hope this information has been helpful. If anyone has any specific

questions, ask me offline.

thanks,

Judy Nelson

An organization like Young Living needs an ignorant audience. Having

someone in the area that may be truly knowledgeable on essential oils

will make it hard for them to claim to be such an authority.

That because it is! Look at all the people that have to get paid when

you buy product from a MLM, its not rocket science.

Young Living, Ecoquest, NuSkin, Xango, everybody has a product that

will change your life...especially for the person who's downline you

are a member of. If the product was making me money, I would have to

think it just my influence my judgement. In most cases, you look

around and you will find the same if not better products at a much

lower cost and you won't be tied into having to buy every month.

 

As far as being hooked on YL...hard to see the truth when you are a

part of the lie. Many good people are taken everyday.

Question:

I believe it is based on exotic berries

from Asia. A better source with spotless

integrity is Ingrid Naiman.

I am in total awe of the woman.

Carmen,

 

From what little I've heard of the tapes, there is a lot of

misinformation about the oils on them. There is a whole lot of really

good sources. Why use YL propoganda when you can learn from many, many

good _independent_ books and practitioners?

 

Cheers,

Nika

Carmen, I would be very cautious about relying on the YL training tapes and

information as your sole source of information about the oils.

 

One of the major complaints most of us in the industry have against the MLM

is their unsafe usage and their wildly unrealistic claims. Please do some

independent study!!!!

Hi,

On using the YL tapes to " learn " may not be a good idea. If there are

many inconsistancies/questions on his practices then I would not rely on his

info on eo's. I personally have not read any of his " stuff " but the info that

I have seen posted sounds scary to me.

In fact, there is sooo much info in the files & archive of messages just

on this group alone. Martin Watt & Butch Owen are such a wealth of

information just to name a few. If there are any eo's, herb questions you have

please post them to the list. Not anly will they be answered but it will

benefit

a lot of people on the list (like me) that can learn more & /or use it as a

refresher/update.

 

God Bless You & Yours,
