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.
My son developed extreme fatigue about five years ago. It was such a struggle for him to get through a day of college and maintain his work schedule. He was always looking for a little time to nap so he could go on. He was also dealing with some back pain and low grade headaches that were there all the time. My heart ached for him but I was also newly divorced and in a very demanding college program myself so there was little time to focus on him.
As a massage therapist, I would trade massage with an acupuncturist friend in exchange for acupuncture treatments from him which helped temporarily.
A Lyme Disease test was ran but it came back negative as well as a sleep-study and blood panels. All negative or normal.
Three weeks ago we attended a small conference in northern Minnesota featuring a gal from Wisconsin who had severe Lyme Disease for years before diagnosis. At the point of diagnosis she was almost dead, too weak for antibiotic treatments. She has suffered through many surgeries to her spine and many doctors who eventually thought a psychologist was more in order. Young Living Oils were introduced to her and she began using them. She is now completely well.
My son is now using her recipe: 2 drops Frankincense, 6 drops Oregano and 12 drops of Thieves in a gel capsule. Take every 4 hours for 3 days, every 8 hours for 4 days, every 12 hours for 5 days and once a day for 6 days. It is dehydrating so drink lots of water. If this is too strong a formula for your stomach it can be divided into more capsules and spread out more through the day. You should be urinating once an hour to help move toxins out.
After this two week regimen it is important to cleanse your body of the dead spirochete bodies that can build up in the body. The gal that spoke used the Master Cleanse at this point with great success. She also recommends building the body with the Young Living supplements: Life 5, Essentialzyme 4 and Inner Defense. Raindrop Technique once a week was also recommended if possible. The oils in this therapy can also be rubbed on the feet if no one is available to apply them to your back.
My son was close to choosing an antibiotic treatment before hearing this gal's story and I just hated to see him do that. He has decided not to do that now and is using this regimen instead and is beginning to feel a change in the quality of his headaches and fatigue.
Antibiotics and pharmaceuticals did not work for the speaker. I believe they are most effective at the time of the bite or when the bulls eye is present but not after years of carrying the disease. The Spirochetes multiply so fast and are incredibly adaptive and able to hide deep within cells, even within the larvae. It's just freaky!!
I am so grateful every time I attend an event or read a story that points me and my loved ones down the right road now that I am on this journey with essential oils.
