For Karen Rose (was: sad midwife experience)

[Guest guest]

Karen,

 

I don't know much about essential oils, but I

have enjoyed playing in the MLM world for a

while.

Young Living is a network marketing company

that sells essential oils, and promotes some

controversial practices like using oils without

diluting them.

 

Gary Young, the head honcho has pretended to be some things he is not. Like

Doctor. See Woobey's website about an eye-full on that one.

 

Some of Gary's practices seem to illustrate

the dark side of network marketing, alas.

Like encouraging a cult of personality of the

company founders. I detest that aspect.

 

On the plus side, I know people who use the oils

and swear by them. One young woman who used to

suffer with IBS feels totally well these days.

She also came home with stars in her eyes and practically glowing after a week

of planting lavender

on the Idaho farm in the exalted company of Himself.

 

Talk about a way to get cheap labor! On the other

hand, everyone who was there wanted to be there.

Who am I to judge.
