Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi Michel - Pardon me but I think either you snipped incorrectly or misread the snip you have of Martin's post. He stated those who are doing injections are NOT practicing within the French Health Care system. Dale - Michel Vanhove Friday, January 14, 2005 1:40 PM Re: EO Injections ..

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hello, I received my diploma in Holistic Aromatherapy at a well known school in England. We were told our diploma would be recognised in all of western Europe except France. When I moved to Paris, I was not allowed to use essential oils in massage therapy. I was told that only medical doctors were permitted to use oils. I find having no regulations here in America is what allows Gary Young's people to be " aromatherapists " without formal training. From one extreme to another! Connie Michel Vanhove <michel wrote: Martin discussed this once on list.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Very true. Here, all one needs to do is put up their shingle, if their state allows the use of essential oils without a cosmetology license. It's sad I think, because so much harm can come out of using them without the knowledge. Kirstin > I received my diploma in Holistic Aromatherapy at a > well known school in England.

I have heard of other injections being done on people. The latest one being a teenager had arthritis and her parents had gold injected into her joints. Apparently this is suppose to help people with this ailment. Well the poor girl could not do anything for herself for 3 years. She was brought into my husbands office to get some advise (actually her parents wanted the advise) on removing some of her teeth and putting in gold caps. My husband, who listened to all the tales of what was going on with the girl, because she was carried into his office, knew instinctively that something was wrong with the picture. They had filled out all the forms about her health. Still he felt uncomfortable but did not understand why. Then after talking about all the different options that could be taken and the parents still insisting on the gold fillings, he asked why she could not walk on her own. They told him the story of her arthritis. The exchange of stories of other people went on for he did not feel comfortable with the parents decision but how can you tell them this. Then in all the talking the mother commented on a chain that my husband was wearing. It was made of gold and it was handmade. She told him that their daughter could not wear jewllery because she is alergic to gold. Well you can guess what my husband said. He told them under no cercumstances was he putting gold in their daughter's mouth. The parents were shocked that he would not do this, they still did not hear themselves and what they had said about the gold. He repeated what they had said to him about being alergic to gold and it was not until that moment in time they realized what they had done to her. Her body was having a major alergic reaction to the gold they had injected into her joints. All the pain and agony she was going through was of their doing. They broke down and cried. They understood finally what was wrong but they at the time could not see the forest for the trees. I am commenting on this for sometimes we can not see the forest for the trees and I wonder soemtimes, as this post brought back to mind the story of the gold, how often people jump at new things without realy taking a close look at the possiblities of alergies developing or that we have and do not know about until we zap ourselves with an overdose. Just food for thought. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
