Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I agree with Rita. My friend Wendy swears by YL and keeps telling me to use it in my soaps. I told her it wouldnt be cost effective, that I have to buy wholesale, and on a metaphysical level, it doesnt matter too much. well, she is Christian. not knocking you christians, but she runs with stuff she thinks is a miracle. I am basically " pagan " or everything else has merrit, believer. I think YL is a bunch of brainwashed SnakeCharmers...who dont really know anything about snakes. Wendy thinks that their stuff is the best out there, but she only has read what the rest of us has, and she has no previous background in EO's. my basic background comes from praticing Wicca, paganism, living in Hawaii, cooking at home. Simple Common Sense, and some decent books. Wendy used some oils on her dog that was sick. Raindrop therapy. The dog had renal failure. I told her she was hurting him more than doing good, and he was gonna die anyway, and fluids were best. I told her to not use EO's neat on anything or anyone without consulting someone more skilled outside of YL, anyways. You can kill an animal doing that. Rita, you are one smart cookie!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi All, I would like to share what frightens me most about YL- allowing their customer base to use eo's internally. I have always been aware of the misleading propaganda that GL put out there and quite frankly I have considered him the thorn in the practice of aromatherapy. At the recent Mind Body Expo in Valley Forge, I happened to overhear a YL rep telling her potential customer that she could definitely take her oils internally while at the same time recommending some beginner books to this woman!!! I did not confront her that day, but found her alone the next morning. I did find out that Gary Young (through conference and written training manuals) advises his followers that internal use of the oils is completely safe and will not harm any of the organs because they are 100 % ABSOLUTELY PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE OILS!!! When I attempted to educate her a little about this and the possible repercussions, she immediately clarified the fact that she was not an aromatherapist but simply sold the oils. Unfortunately, she could not seem to get it into that GY brainwashed head of hers that by doing so she has left the " relative safety " of simply selling the oils and could now be accused of treating a patient. Frankly, it scares the hell out of me that this is going on. Blessed Be, Debbi Blue Moon Herbals & Aromatics www.bluemoonherbals.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never even heard of YL until this list. No One in my area even sells it. I went to Columbus to the Light Expo and found one booth carring the products. I tried their juice and it was not very good tasting and then I started to ask questions about the oils. The lady whom I was talking to really had little knowledge about the company or the oils. I tried asking if they were pure oils, her reply was that he grows his own herbs. I also told her that I was very new with essentials and of the 20 or so books I had read NO ONE had said to use them directly on the skin except for lavender or tea tree in limited uses. I tried to explain that it could be dangerous, but her reply was she didn't know to much about it. I have read that they go to seminars and have meetings. I guess she didn't attend any of them. In the end, she asked me to leave the booth because of my questions, which by the way, she couldn't or wouldn't answer.
