Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi, I just joined this group. It looked like a great one. I am really disconcerted though to see the wide bashing of YL oils and people who use them. s this what this group is about? I do use YL oils. I like them alot. I also use Oshadhi and some others. I am not a follower of any specific modality of oil usage. I just use them as I see fit and what fit's in with my research. I have been studying and using oils for 12 years, and I have found that is what works best for me and my family. So, what I am wondering now that I have joined is, is this just a group that uses an exclusive brand or follows a certain person's knowledge, or as one post that I read states- is a place for everyone to learn and discuss? But then that same person posted often bashing YL and it's users. I am truly in need of an answer, as I do not want to spend time in A hostile or negative environment, when I just want to learn more about the oils and the great things they do. Please do not try to " enlighten " me on all the YL junk. I have read it all, and still prefer to use those along with others. I really am honest in wanting to know if this list is what it says, or is the overall tone against YL oils? Just for clarification, I am not a distributor, just a customer. Thanks for some honest answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Okay, Heather, here's the skinny seen through my eyes. This IS a great group. You will find an awful lot of good information here and for the most part people tend to be very friendly. People buy from all sorts of suppliers on this list. On ad day you'll see quite a few represented here. Having said that: The subject of YL brings out a lot of heated feeling, both those for and those against. Those who are for YL company feel they have valid reasons for being so... those of those who speak out against the con man and liar Gary Young and his company have darned good reason to do so. (Guess where EYE stand ;-) ). You just happened to catch this list at a time when the subject has poked it's head up again. It will die down again. It always does. Hang in there and you can always delete the posts that you don't care for. As to the company's oils, if you're happy with them >shrug< that's your choice. I figure after 12 years you've been around the block long enough to know what you like and what you don't. So if you like the companys oils, enjoy them. But you'll have to understand that a lot of folks DON " T like them. It's nothing personal.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Heathermer, It's not the oils that are the controversy, it's the hype , false and often outright dangerous use that is proposed by YL, that a lot of people on this list have a ' beef ' with. If you like to pay their overextended prices and believe they are the only 'pure' and natural essential oils around, that's your perogative.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi and welcome to the group. If you are pro-YL and have read everything and is okay with Gary and his oils, then I have to be honest and say, not many aromatherapy boards are going to pleasant for you or pro-YL other than YL message boards. If you stay on and avoid the YL posts - which people will warn you they are writing about YL. There are certain things I debate and certain things I don't. YL, religion, politics are among those. Will I talk bad about YL, yes I will, but don't take it personally, I don't bash people who use them, so you can have a decent conversation with me. Party on.
