Part 4: Pure Essential Oils—How Do You Know?

Gary, Marcel & Jean-Noel at Mona Farm 2002
Over the next several years, I returned to Europe many times to study at several universities. Whenever there was a class or seminar on essential oils, I was sure to be there. I attended courses at the University of Paris, Warwick University in London, the University of Geneva, and the University of Vienna. I spent 200 class hours with Dr. Farag at the University of Cairo.
At the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, one of my most rewarding studies was that of biblical archaeology and the possible relationship Christ had with essential oils. During this time, from 1986 to 1995, I spent up to four weeks every summer working in France and Egypt with the farmers, learning how to grow plants. Only through the study of growing the plants can you understand what is needed in the soil and what type of climate and geographic location are necessary to create the optimal chemistry in the plant.
I began another phase of my journey in 1992 when my long-time friend and business associate Jean-Noel Landel introduced me to Henri Viaud, a physicist, chemist, and distiller of essential oils, who lived in the high mountains of Province, France. Mr. Viaud had a laboratory and a small 2,000-3,000 liter distiller. He was 82 years old when he took me under his wing as his final student and taught me the fine art of distillation.
In 1992 Mr. Viaud began training me on how to become a “nose.” In 1993 while studying and working with Mr. Viaud, Jean-Noel introduced me to yet another person who would become an important part of my learning process.
Marcel Espieu was the president of the Lavender Growers Association and had been for 27 years. Lavender farming and distillation had been the principal trade in his family for eight generations. However, his sons went off to the city to receive an education in computers and medical engineering, with no interest in returning to run the farm. When Marcel and Henri saw my interest in learning the art of distillation and saw my knowledge of farming, they adopted me like their son and continued to mentor me until their passing.
In fact, Marcel visited both the St. Maries, Idaho, and Mona, Utah, farms and spoke at the Young Living Convention in 2002. These great men were the most knowledgeable people in the world about growing and harvesting of herbs and plants for the distillation of essential oils. I feel blessed that my early knowledge and education about the plants and oil extraction came from them.

Part 5: Pure Essential Oils—How Do You Know?

Gary & Dr. Baser (far right) at UNIDO
About this same time, from 1992 until 1994, yet another door opened to me when I met Dr. Hervé Casabianca, the most reputable essential oil and plant molecular analytical chemist in the world. Dr. Casabianca started teaching me gas chromatography analysis. He also taught me what goes on in the world of oil adulteration and how to recognize it.
As I continued my search for knowledge, I was able to study at the Albert Vieille Laboratory in Vallauris, France, to further my chemistry education in gas chromatography. In 1995, while presenting at a UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) conference at the Anadolu University in Eskisehir, Turkey, I was invited by Professor Husnu Baser to attend classes in gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. I accepted the offer, and in 1997 I was enrolled in 120 class hours of practical training in essential oils, plant compounds, and analysis.
 In 1989 I began my first farming project near Spokane, Washington, on a quarter acre of ground behind my office. In this little piece of ground, I planted various herbs and plants to see how they would grow. In May of 1992, I bought 160 acres in St. Maries, Idaho, and moved all of the plants and herbs there, where I had the acreage to grow them and really start farming. This became my first Young Living Essential Oils farm.
Also in 1992 I leased my second farm in the central region of Provence, France. Here I was able to learn much more, as I was able to work with other lavender growers and visit their farms and distilleries, which helped me determine what I liked and felt was the best way to extract the oil and maintain the highest quality. It was here that many ideas came to me about how I wanted to grow and develop my own techniques for better distilling.

Helichrysum

Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) has a fresh, earthy, herbaceous scent that lifts the spirit. Helichrysum flowers are commonly called Everlasting or Immortelle.
While the reference to “long life” made by these names may have come about because the flowers dry without losing their color and beauty, it could just as well refer to the amazing properties of the oil, which has a wide range of applications. It supports healthy skin, nerves, and circulation.
Helichrysum scores 17,430 on the antioxidant ORAC scale.

Essential Oils vs. Mold

In November and December 2005, I completed the first field tests using Young Living essential oils to combat mold. I then developed a detailed protocol and discovered how effective essential oils—especially the Thieves® blend—could be. Since that time, I have presented my results at Rice University, Young Living conventions, and a number of regional meetings. Take a look at some of my findings:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28fez0T17cM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uck-FdEHM_s
What I found was truly a breakthrough in eliminating the problems associated with exposure to mold because no other mold remediation method available is as effective and inexpensive. I have since continued my research and have completed more than 100 additional case studies. As a speaker at Rice University, I presented new data and answered questions raised by people attempting to use my protocol. You can view my PowerPoint presentation on the Rice University website and on our website, www.moldrx4u.com

Ganz ohne Stress auf die Festtage vorfreuen ...

Hier sind ein paar Tipps wie wir uns ganz ohne Stress auf die Festtage vorfreuen können:
Zerstäube Christmas Spirit - es ist mein Lieblings-Weihnachtsöl:
Kindheitserinnerungen werden wach, Düfte von Zimt, Tannenreisig, Orangen und Gewürznelken ... eine erhebende Duftnote, die das Herz warm stimmt und auf Stress ganz vergessen lässt.
Kein Diffuser? Kein Problem! Vor dem Ausgehen einen tiefen Zug aus dem Fläschchen Christmas Spirit nehmen, und hinaus geht's in die frische Winterluft. Wenn der Wind um die Nase weht, und die Leute mit grimmen Gesichtern und hektischen Schritten durch die Welt eilen, steht ein glückliches Lächeln auf Deinen Lippen. Düfte, so weihnachtlich - man glaubt man ist im Himmel - Und nur Du kannst sie riechen! (Christmas Spirit - solange der Vorrat reicht)
Weihnachtliche Stimmung statt Hektik und Stress!
Der Young Living Ultrasonic Diffuser macht es leicht, weihnachtliche Stimmung in Büro und zu Hause zu verbreiten. Vergiß nicht den Diffuser in ein Krankenzimmer mitzunehmen. Der Kranke wird sich über Weihnachtsdüfte sehr freuen. Wählen Sie Christmas Spirit, Balsamtanne, oder Orange um den Zauber der Weihnacht in die Stube zu bringen!
Einfach 1/4l Wasser in den Behälter des Ultrasonic Diffusers gießen, 5-15 Tropfen eines hoch wirksamen ätherischen Öls der Firma Young Living dazu geben, einschalten. Augenblicklich verbreitet sich ein wohliger Duft im ganzen Raum. Der Duft erfüllt die Sinne und erhebt das Herz!
Wir haben ein tolles Weihnachtsangebot fĂĽr Sie!
Der Weihnachtsdiffuser, mit einem Fläschchen Christmas Spirit GRATIS dazu!
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass jeder der heuer einen Diffuser kauft, gleich drei (3) bestellt: Einen fĂĽr sich selbst, und zwei als Weihnachtsgeschenke.
Der Weihnachtsdiffuser ist wirklich DAS ideale Weihnachtsgeschenk fĂĽr jedermann:
Für die Kinder um den wunderschönen Weihnachtstraum im Kinderherzen durch Düfte zu verankern, die sie durchs ganze Leben begleiten werden.Für die Hausfrau die es liebt, Ihre Wohnung rein und frei von unliebsamen Mitbewohnern (Viren, Milben, Schimmelpilzen) zu haben.Für den Herrn des Hauses, der technische Dinge liebt - der Ultrasonic Diffuser sieht wie eine kleinen Raumstation aus.Für den Heilpraktiker, der seine Praxis mit wohltuenden Düften zu einer Oase des Heilens verwandelt.Für den Unternehmer, der durch angenehme, erhebende Düfte seine Kunden zum Einkaufen einlädt, wie etwa im Geschäft, beim Weihnachtsbazaar, oder beim Fundraiser Event.Viel Freude mit dem neuen Bestseller der Firma Young Living:

Muscle Aches and Pain

With springtime comes activity … gardening, biking, canoeing, all sorts of sports activities.
A couple of days ago, I began my serious gardening – after having been pretty sedentary during a very cold winter. After the first day of digging, stretching, lifting, and using muscles that had been “asleep” for a while, I hurt so much, I could barely move.
Our wonderful friend Jennifer T. offered, that if one takes 2 BLM tablets before going out to do such physical work, and two when you are finished, you will wake up the next morning not knowing you did such heavy exercise!
If only I had known ahead of time! Don't let this happen to you. Check out the trusted Young Living supplement BLM.
