YL: New and Confused

[Guest guest]

Hi Heather,

 

I think your name is Heather .. not sure.

 

> Hi, I just joined this group. It looked like a great one.

 

Welcome to the Oils & Herbs List .. and a great one it is. :-)

 

> I am really disconcerted though to see the wide bashing of YL oils

> and people who use them.

 

Discussing the facts on YL oils is not the same as bashing folks who use

YL oils. Maybe YL oils are good .. all oils sold by any organization

can't be bad. Its not YL oils that folks object to.

 

> Is this what this group is about?

 

No ma'am .. but its a subject often discussed on this group.

 

> I do use YL oils. I like them alot.

 

Good show .. nobody is down on you for that .. but if you also practice

RDT then we might say you are practicing unsafe use of EO.

 

> I also use Oshadhi and some others.

 

Good show there too.

 

> I am not a follower of any specific modality of oil usage.

 

I am .. I am a follower of safe and responsible use of EO .. and that is

why I am down on YL .. because they are not!

 

> I just use them as I see fit and what fit's in with my research.

 

That is your choice .. but if anyone else comes on this or any other

REAL and RESPONSIBLE AT list and tries to convince folks to use EO in a

manner that is not safe .. then they will find some posts that will make

them uncomfortable .. because .. I know of no responsible list that

allows such teaching. :-(

No specific brands .. nobody cares who uses what .. including YL oils.

But it is a group that does not tolerate the teaching of unsafe and

irresponsible use of EO. The List Mom is apparently not available now

but I feel comfortable speaking for her .. as as one of the group

moderators I feel comfortable speaking for myself in this regard.

I hope my answer was clear .. it is the only answer you will hear on

this list.

First .. with over 850 members on the list it would be wrong to assume

that any post is directed to but one person. Secondly, posts on YL are

preceded by YL: If you one want to read them then they should delete

them .. but nobody can dictate what is or is not discussed on this list

except the List Mom.

 

> I really am honest in wanting to know if this list is what it says, or

> is the overall tone against YL oils?

 

I am really honest in my reply to you .. so now you know. :-)

 

> Just for clarification, I am not a distributor, just a customer.

 

Good show .. there are many YL customers on this list .. welcome members

who provide good information on this or that issue from time to time.

And you too are most welcome .. but if discussion regarding unsafe use

of EO and such bothers you then you might not be so happy here.

 

> Thanks for some honest answers.

 

Welcome you are .. and again .. welcome to Oils & Herbs.

 

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