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.


In November, 2011 I was diagnosed with a cancer on my vulva, just on the inside of the left labia. I and my gynecologist missed it during my annual exam a few weeks before I discovered the lump. I had surgery to remove it and they took out lymph nodes from the groin area on right and left.

I came home with a drain in both sides draining the groin areas. I wasn't prescribed any antibiotics (thankfully) but I did begin to take the Thieves oil blend by capsule daily. I also took Inner Defense, NingXia Red juice, Master Formula Hers and OmegaGize daily.

I dropped 2-3 drops of Frankincense and Sacred Frankincense under my tongue several times a day. I started the Frankincense sublingually before the surgery. I also applied Frankincense on both groin areas before surgery several times daily.

Eventually, the drainage tubes began to change color. I felt that the plastic was decomposing due to the oils that I was taking daily. Our oils will 'digest' plastic. When the doctor removed them she made a statement that she had never seen a drain do that. I didn't reply, I was just happy to get them taken out. They are working!

Tests revealed that no further treatment was necessary, that surgery had removed all the cancer and there was only just a very small amount in one node.

I am grateful for our Young Living therapeutic grade oils. Because they are therapeutic grade I can feel good about taking them internally, applying to the skin or anywhere else they are needed.

My recovery was uneventful I felt due to the oils that I used during the time before and after. I didn't need pain meds very much especially after a few days I feel because of the oils I was taking and applying daily.

I am grateful to Gary Young for educating us so well. Let's pass it on. Thank you for reading this.

Supporting Scientific Studies
1.Associated topics: cancer — Frankincense and myrrh showed anticancer effects.Link
2.Associated topics: cancer — "Local application of frankincense essential oil may provide a non-surgical treatment alternative, with no or minimal side effect for carcinoma in situ, minimally invasive carcinoma and pre-cancerous conditions such as actinic keratosis."Link
3.Associated topics: cancer — "DHEA [a component of PD 80/20], an androstene hormone [precursor to estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisone, and other hormones], has been shown to possess a wide range of beneficial biological effects mainly attributed to immune system modulation.... thus leading to beneficial effects in diverse human diseases including resistance to infection, neuroprotection, wound healing, diabetes, hepatic injury, cardiovascular disease, and cancer."Link
4.Associated topics: cancer — "Many plant extracts that protect against the development of oxidative stress manifest clear antilithiasic activity [preventing the formation of or relieving the symptoms of kidney stones].... Evidence obtained to date supports a contributory role of polyphenols [present in essential oils] in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, some cancer types, and osteoporosis.... The results show an improvement of the renal function in some treated groups with an increase of diuresis and creatinine excretion due to polyphenols pretreatment. Our results clearly validate the ability of polyphenols to protect against papillary calcification of kidney tissue, consequently preventing the development of papillary calculi [kidney stones].... The collective findings to date support a protective effect of polyphenols on kidney tissue. Thus, considering that injury of papillary tissue constitutes the first step in the development of COM papillary calculi, the antioxidant action of polyphenols may contribute significantly to their antilithiasic action."Link
5.Associated topics: cancer — "D-limonene is one of the most common terpenes in nature. It is a major constituent in several citrus oils.... Being a solvent of cholesterol, d-limonene has been used clinically to dissolve cholesterol-containing gallstones. Because of its gastric acid neutralizing effect and its support of normal peristalsis, it has also been used for relief of heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). D-limonene has well-established chemopreventive activity against many types of cancer. Evidence from a phase I clinical trial demonstrated a partial response in a patient with breast cancer and stable disease for more than six months in three patients with colorectal cancer."Link
6.Associated topics: cancer — "Thujaplicin, a minor component of Aomori Hiba [Hinoki], showed rather strong antifungal activity against seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi.... Thujaplicin and hinokitiol (the major component of Aomori Hiba [Hinoki]) also showed clear antibacterial activity against Legionella pneumophila SG 1 and L. pneumophila SG 3 [Legionnaires disease, pneumonia].... This compound showed strong insecticidal activity against Reticulitermes speratus [termites], and it also had clear acaricidal [ticks, mites] activity against Dermatophagoides farinae [house dust mites].... [T]he strong cytotoxic effect of Thujaplicin on murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line [CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia] should be emphasized...."Link
7.Associated topics: cancer — "[T]he biological activity of 20 essential oils (EOs) from herbal plants and citrus fruits were investigated in terms of mammalian DNA polymerase (pol) inhibitory activity, cancer cell (human colon carcinoma) growth inhibitory activity, antiallergic activity... in rat basophilic leukemia cells, and antioxidant activity.... Among these EOs, chamomile... showed significant effects on both cancer cell growth and mast cell degranulation. On the basis of these results, chamomile EO can be recommended as a potentially useful, bioactive candidate for therapeutic applications."Link
