Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


I suffered with fibromyalgia for 5 years. I could not lift my grandchildren, clean my home, the vacuum was the enemy, take long trips driving, sleep at night, shopping was a nightmare. The pain was crippling.

The doctor put me on Celebrex, which helped some. On a scale of 1 to 10 my pain became a 6 or 7. Then a study revealed that Celebrex was damaging the kidneys, liver and bladder. I did not want to give it up as it helped some.

In October 2002 I attended a Young Living informational meeting, where a woman I knew to be an upstanding person in the community also suffered with fibromyalgia, was hugging a bottle of Sulfurzyme, saying "I will never ever be without my Sulfurzyme again." I ordered a bottle right then.

After taking it for 1 week, following the directions on the bottle, I stopped taking Celebrex, after 2 weeks 80% of my pain was gone! I now am able to play with my grandchildren, clean my home, take long trips, enjoy shopping, sleep better and I even do windows.

After 1 year I began taking both AgilEase and Sulfurzyme daily, on a scale of 1 to 10, my pain is now a 1!

I thank God, and Young Living for changing my life! Thank you, Oil-Testimonials.com, for providing me with the opportunity to share this exciting news with others and the hope that they may be as blessed as I have been.
