Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hey guys Ron Guba. I understand that he is supposed to be highly regarded in the aromatherapy community but Some of the stuff I've heard lately is really disturbing, for example, he has said that using oils that are known to be dangerous to use on the skin such as Wintergreen, is in essence a fairy story. I've also been told that he's also lately been teaching YL-ers (which is not a bad thing in and of itself) but has also taken to defending YL practices and it was cynically suggested that he was doing this because of the money he is making from them. Anyone else heard anything like this? -- Cheers! Kathleen Petrides The Woobey Queen Http://www.woobeyworld.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Guba has always written rubbish over skin safety issues, but has always written well on toxicity which has always been hyped in aromatherapy. Ron Guba has also got a long history of association with cults, see: http://www.lightmind.com/thevoid/daism/srij-05.html Hardly surprising he would be drawn to Y.L.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks Martin, I appreciate the reply. I've been hearing about the YL connection for many months now from different folk... would explain also WHY he was so negative about the cat tumor article when it came out and why he pounded so hard on the " not likely to be the oils " theme. Again, thanks much. K On 7/30/05, aromamedical2003 <aromamedical-2 wrote: > >Ron Guba.
