Do You Have a Mold or Mildew Problem?

Do You Have Mold?

Harvard and John Hopkins University’s
Studies have concluded that 50% of buildings, old and new, have mold. Resulting in a 50-100% increase in respiratory problems.

The Mayo Clinic
 1 in 7 Americans suffers from acute fungal sinusitis, resulting from exposure to mold.
Research conducted at Weber State University and Brigham Young University by D. Gary Young indicates that most viruses, fungi, and bacteria cannot live in the presence of most essential oils, especially those high in phenols, carvacrol, thymol, and terpenes.

Thieves essential oil dissolves mold spores in effect killing and preventing mold.  When the mold testing was performed and completed the diffusing of Thieves essential oil for 24, 48 and 72 hours showed significant drops in all types of mold. Not only that but repeated testing of locations continued to show further decrease in mold spore counts (Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium). Testing showed that Thieves continued to combat mold levels for up to two weeks.

Thieves essential oil blend contains:
Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Rosemary, Lemon, Eucalyptus radiata.

Look for other cities where Young Living will unveil the new NingXia Red on the Young Living website events page at www.youngliving.com/events.

Reason for the Change
The cost of the NingXia wolfberries has been escalating since 1993 when Gary Young first created NingXia Red (formerly known as Berry Young  Juice).  In 1993 workers in NingXia province, China were paid $1.20 per day  (for a 10 hour work day) to harvest the wolfberries for our NingXia Red.  In 2012, the NingXia workers are paid $3.50 per hour (for a 10 hour work day that’s $35/day) to harvest our wolfberries.  That’s almost a 30 times increase in the cost of labor!  So in order for us to continue enjoying the benefits of NingXia Red at a reasonable price, it became necessary for Gary Young to create a new formula.  Gary began looking for other longevity fruits and berries that could add to the power of Young Living’s NingXia Red and increase the benefits of the drink.  He also decided to add more essential oils to the drink and change the agave to stevia so that he could lower the glycemic index of the drink.

Ingredients
Whole NingXia wolfberry puree
Blueberry juice
Plum juice
Cherry juice
Aronia juice (Blackberry juice)
Pomegranate juice
Essential oil blend of Grape see extract, Orange, Lemon, Tangerine and Yuzu oils.
Stevia extract
(Raspberry and Apricot juices and agave have been taken out.)

Benefits of the New NingXia Red Power Juice
Black cherry, plum and aronia juices all add to the antioxidant power of the NingXia wolfberries in NingXia Red.  This increases the S-ORAC score of NingXia Red increases 30%.
The S-ORAC score measures a drink’s ability to neutralize the dangerous superoxide free radical by increasing superoxide dismutase.  This is the most destructive free radical in the body.  Elevated superoxide has been linked to cancer, asthma, heart disease and other serious conditions.
Sweet Cherry Juice – Prunus Avium
Antioxidant Support  – Cherries are a rich source of flavonoids, natural compounds that are most widely recognized for their potent antioxidant activity. In fact, anthocyanins flavonoids isolated from cherries have been shown to possess antioxidant capabilities superior to vitamin E. This powerful free radical scavenging capacity has broad ranging health implications for the immune, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems. Additionally, cherries have also been shown to support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.

Joint Support and Uric acid control  -  By disarming free radicals, which can damage healthy cells, flavonoids contribute to the integrity of capillaries, collagen structures, eyes, joints, and arteries. Research has shown that anthyocyanins and cyanidin flavonoids present in cherry fruit can positively impact joint health.

Beneficial for Gout – Uric acid levels are high in people who have gout.  A recent study found that consumption of sweet cherries promotes optimal pH balance by maintaining healthy uric acid levels, revealing yet another way in which cherries contribute to joint health.  Gout starts in the liver and cherry juice also helps cleanse the liver.


Cardiovascular Support  - One of the most exciting new findings regarding cherry fruit consumption is its potential support in the area of cardiovascular health.

Health Insulin Production – Researchers recently found that anthocyanins naturally present in sweet cherries support healthy insulin production in pancreatic cells. Cherry consumption may, therefore, help maintain healthy insulin and blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.

Sleep Support  - A recent study, the first to reveal that melatonin can be naturally present in food sources, found that both sweet and tart cherries contain high levels of melatonin. While additional trials are needed to validate cherry fruit as an effective sleep enhancer, this study implies yet another potential health benefit of cherry consumption.

Plum Juice – Prunus Domestica
Osteoporosis Prevention – Several studies have demonstrated that dried plums, or prunes, which contain  high amounts of polyphenols, can restore bone mass and structure.
In a 3-month study involving 58 postmenopausal women, dried plums significantly increased serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) activity. Higher levels of both serum IGF-I and BSAP are associated with greater rates of bone formation. Although further studies are desirable, these results suggest that dried plums may have beneficial effects on bone mineral density.  Another study concluded that dried plum polyphenols enhance osteoblast (bone formation) activity.

Prunes are a good source of boron, which is believed to play a role in prevention of osteoporosis.
Cholesterol Reduction – Phenolic compounds in prunes had been found to inhibit human LDL oxidation in vitro.


Cardiovascular Disease Prevention – High potassium content of prunes (745 mg/100 g) is beneficial for cardiovascular health.


Cancer Prevention – According to the American Cancer Society, foods high in fiber and vitamin A may offer some protection against cancers of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts as well as cancers induced by chemicals.


Researchers have found that the phytonutrients in plums inhibited in vitro breast cancer growth without adversely affecting normal cell growth.


Natural Laxative  – Plums and prunes are both effective laxatives, with prunes being the more effective of the two. The laxative action of both prune and prune juice could be explained by their high sorbitol content. Some food chemists suggest that what makes the prune such an effective laxative is not its fiber but another constituent, an unidentified derivative of the organic chemical isatin, which is related to another natural substance, biscodyl, the active ingredient in some over-the-counter laxative tablets and suppositories. Biscodyl is a contact laxative that induces the secretion of fluid in the bowel and stimulates contractions of the intestines that push waste through the colon more quickly and efficiently.


Better Digestion – Increases your own production of enzymes naturally.

Glycemic Index of Plums – In a study to determine the estimated glycemic index of various foods, it was concluded that plums have a low GI.


Aronia Juice (Black Chokeberry) – Aronia Melanocarpa
Research shows Aronia has a higher ORAC than any other domestically grown and consumed berries in the USA.

Benefits of the Aronia Berry
• It’s antimicrobial properties promotes a healthy urinary tract
• Has anti-inflammatory properties to help prevent and relieve arthritic symptoms
• Fights bacteria and viruses, such as colds and the flu
• Strengthens memory
• Aids digestion
• Helps the body produce good cholesterol and lower “bad” cholesterol
• Provides the body with essential oils
• Possible aid in the management of diabetes.
• It has colon cancer-fighting properties
• Aronia is high in fiber and contain pigments (anthocyanins) which can help prevent cancer.
• Has the highest antioxidant capacity of any domestic food reported to date
• Increases neurological, motor and cognitive functions.
• May help to prevent neurological disorders such as dementia
• Improve nighttime visual acuity and prevent and even reverse macular degeneration
• Help fight against heart disease and other cardiovascular problems, promote cardiovascular health
• Rich in vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and Folic acid.
• It may slow the effects of aging
High in potassium.  Excellent muscle support.
Prostate Support – Protects the prostate by reducing inflammation and preventing cancer.  All men over 45 years of age have some level of cancer.  Aronia Berry is also high in zinc in B vitamins which support the prostate.  B15 is anti-carcinogenic.

Yuzu Oil (Japanese Citron)  – Citrus Juno
Yellow to orange skinned citrus, usually medium sized, with highly fragrant rind and flesh. Flavor is acidic and tart. The fruit is relatively rare, and highly prized.

Roughly the size of a tangerine, sour tasting, and bright yellow in color, yuzu is still a newcomer in the U.S.   Specialty shops and Asian groceries often carry it in the form of juices, vinegars, powders, and pastes that can be drizzled on foods, or slipped into recipes to add flavor and a nutritional boost to fish, vegetables, and pastas.
Studies conducted over the past few years by the Department of Food and Nutrition at the Research Institute of Human Ecology, Seoul National University, have shown yuzu to be high in antioxidants and vitamin C, with the largest concentration of nutrients contained in the fruit’s tangy skin. Because vitamin C fuels collagen production, yuzu is finding its way out of the kitchen and into beauty products.

Kochi Medical School in Japan investigated in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of limonene from yuzu peel on human eosinophilic leukemia HL-60 clone 15 cells.   These results suggest that limonene may have potential anti-inflammatory efficacy for the treatment of bronchial asthma by inhibiting cytokines, ROS production, and inactivating eosinophil migration.

NingXia Wolfberry Puree, Pomegranate Juice, Blueberry Juice
These fruits continue to give us the same amazing health benefits as always.  You can learn more about their benefits at www.ningxiared.com.   You can also read the Ebook called NingXia Red, Facts and Research  by Judy DeLaRosa for more information about these ingredients.

New Sweetener in NingXia Red
Stevia extract has replaced Blue Agave as a sweetener for several reasons.  It is better for diabetics because it has a lower glycemic index.

Also, there is a lot of bad publicly about agave.  This is partially due to the fact that a lot of agave that is now on the market is being extended with corn syrup to increase the profits.  So when this adulterated agave is tested for health benefits it gets a bad rap.

Gary wanted to use Yacon Syrup but it is not approved for internal consumption in Europe, Australia and Japan.  If  Yacon Syrup was used in the US version, it would be too expensive to produce another version for these foreign markets.

Stevia has a lot of health benefits.

Acid Levels
The new NingXia Red formula has a pH level o 3.7.  The old formula had a pH level of 3.   NingXia Red is less stabile if it becomes too alkaline.  The acid helps stabilize the drink so it doesn’t spoil.

If you have a very acidic body NingXia Red will taste more acidic to you.  Use Alkalime to improve your pH level.

Stabilizers
Because NingXia Red is a living, enzyme-rich super food, it will spoil quickly if it is not stabilized.  Young Living does NOT use synthetic stabilizers.   It uses only natural stabilizers – tartaric acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
They are all used in a very, very small amount.  Gary chose tartaric acid over malic acid because it is better for you and less acidic.

Sodium benzoate is naturally occurring in most fruits and vegetables that we eat.  Young Living uses a natural mineral source of sodium benzoate in NingXia Red.  The confusion arises in people’s minds because sodium benzoate is also produced synthetically and this type is bad for people to consume.  Just like synthetic essential oils are very different than Young living oils, synthetic sodium benzoate is very different than naturally derived sodium benzoate.

Glycemic Index
The old formula had a glycemic index of 19.  The new formula has a glycemic index of 14.  It is better for prediabetics, people with hypoglycemic and diabetics.

You can start ordering the new NingXia Red on October 1.  Try it and see for yourself how Gary Young has once again given us an amazing  cutting-edge new product for our health and longevity.

Turning a Stroke into One of Good Luck – David Stewart, Ph.D.

Dr. David Stewart

On Sunday, May 27, 2012, which was American Memorial Day, I had a dizzy spell and almost fell over head first while visiting graves of relatives in the cemetery with my wife, Lee. I drove home, relaxed in an easy chair, and fell asleep for the afternoon. Several hours later I awoke and tried to get up and walk. I did not realize that my right leg and arm were paralyzed. While attempting to stand up, I fell over and cracked a rib. It was not until after then that I came to realize that I had suffered a stroke. By then, it was getting late in the evening.

The next morning my wife, Lee, and son, Anthony, took me to the nearest hospital, which is in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 32 miles away. I didn’t come home until two weeks later, June 12th. I used a wheelchair while in the hospital, but left using a walker. Since Friday, July 20, I have graduated to a cane and can get around the house and most places without any artificial support, although I sometimes stagger and reel like Frankinstein.


I also lost the full use of my right hand, which is serious for me since I play the piano and organ. I have gradually worked my way back to the second grade level of piano and the last two Sundays (July 15 and 22) I was able to once again play the organ for the service in my church while Lee played the piano with me.

I am still a long way from complete recovery and won’t be playing a Beethoven Sonata or the Maple Leaf Rag for a while, as I used to do. Nor will I be entering any marathons or doing any mountain climbing as yet. but I do expect a total recovery to where I was and even better.

My recovery is much faster than the doctors and therapists expected and I continue to improve daily. I attribute this to the hundreds of prayers intended for my personal healing from Young Living friends around the world. My thanks is not enough to express my appreciation for the love I have received from so many. I am humbled and grateful for that.

MY HEALING REGIMEN: I am taking capsules of Helichrysum and Cypress and have been anointing my head with a combination of Frankincense, Palo Santo, Juniper, and Balsum Fir. I have also been anointed with AromaLife and TraumaLife. The hospital doctors put me on Plavix(r) to thin my blood, Lipitor(r) to lower my cholesterol, and Prinivil(r) to lower my blood pressure with the idea of preventing another stroke, and wanted me to continue indefinitely after I left. But I quit all of these when I got home.

I eat raw ginger root daily (which I like) to keep my blood thin, so who needs Plavix? I take capsules of Lemongrass oil orally to control cholesterol, so who needs Lipitor? As for my blood pressure, I measure it at home and it is perfectly normal, so why would I need Prinivil? The only high blood pressure I had was in the hospital which, the doctors tell me, is commonly induced by being in a hospital or by the presence of professionals in white coats. In fact, they jokingly call such high blood pressure the “white coat syndrome.” I also take Vitamin B12, which you buy in a health food store, and also two tablets of YL Super B each day to keep my blood vessels dilated and healthy. I also take 8 gel caps of YL Omega Blue, which will help regenerate my brain and, since they contain lemongrass, will also help lower cholesterol. I also take True Source, Detoxzyme, Essenialzyme-4, and Live 5.

To top everything off, I drink Slique tea every morning with 3-4 ounces of NingXia Red. I have lost 16 pounds since May. I have also received a number of Raindrop sessions, including the regular version as well as a Vibrational Raindrop from my son, Anthony, a Raindrop with Colored Lights from Michelle Truman, and a “Group Raindrop” with approximately 20 CARE Instructors participating. With so many healing hands and the abundance of prayers received, I have no choice but to to heal, rapidly and completely.

I continue to play scales and exercises on the piano as therapy for my right hand in order to regain the technique I used to have. I have reached the level of playing some Bach Inventions slowly. Bumble Boogie will come later. I also do the leg exercises prescribed by the physical therapists at the hospital and am now doing 10-20 minutes on the treadmill several times a week, trying to go at least half-a-mile each time.

Immersed in the ocean of healing vibrations at the Young Living Grand Convention this year, I improved steadily a little every day. This year at Young Living I had to use a walker, but next year I won’t be just walking, I intend to run across the stage as a New Diamond. Meanwhile, I have not forgotten my priorities to continue to seek God first and to maintain my sense of gratitude and thankfulness at all times. Truly, “My cup runneth over.”

What is Cistus Essential Oil?

Cistus is believed to be the biblical rose of Sharon, and its honey like fragrance calms nerves and elevates emotions.   Traditionally, the oil was used to support the body's natural defenses.

The healing capacity of cistus was noted centuries ago when sheep and goats would accumulate the gum of this shrub on their coats as they browsed through the desert.  The shepherds noticed that when they rubbed their hands on the wool with this resin, any cuts and scratches would heal much faster. 

Cistus is a source of aromatic oil for medicine and perfume. 

Cistus is anti-infectious, antiviral, antibacterial, a powerful anti-hemorrhaging agent, helps reduce inflammation, and is a neurotonic for the sympathetic nervous system. 

Traditional Uses:  Cistus, also known as "rock rose" has been studied for its effect on the regeneration of cells.

Medical Uses:  Antiviral, antibacterial, anti-hemorrhagic, anti-inflammatory, supports sympathetic nervous system, immune stimulant.

Uses:  Hemorrhages, arthritis.

Indications:  Bronchitis, respiratory infections, coughs, rhinitis, urinary infections, wounds, and wrinkles. 

Other Uses:  Cistus may strengthen and support the immune system.

Application:  Diffuse or apply topically mixed with massage oil. 

Fragrant Influence:  Calming to the nerves, elevates the emotions.

I was just reading an amazing testimonial about how this essential oil helped reduce arterial plaque.  It's a wonderful oil for emotional support, as well.  I've gotten lots of compliments when I wear it as a perfume. 

Source:  Young Living Essential Oils offers therapeutic grade cistus and it's found in ImmuPower blend.  Learn more about about this healing oil and how to become a member of Young Living

Protect Breast Health with Essential Oils

Recent scientific research has discovered that a number of very effective essential oil treatments for breast cancer which have the added benefit of no side effects and improved overall well being. This is good news for all women that may be affected by this disease. The first concern for many is breast cancer but breast cysts are benign and associated with hormonal changes and diet.

Recently, Vicki Opfer shared this Breast Cancer Prevention protocol that makes sense for anyone with a finding of breast cysts or a medical history of breast cancer:

"We have a Breast Cancer Prevention protocol that we should all do periodically. To protect breast health, it might be advisable to do this protocol daily for 3 weeks 3-4 times a year. You can do it every day, if you want, but probably not necessary. In the "old days" (the 70's - before my time with Young Living) we were taught that to protect our bodies from cancer, we need to do these protocols every day for 3 weeks at a time.

The following Breast Health Protocol was taught in a class in ID several years ago by Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils.

While your sister did not have breast cancer, the oils in this protocol might have protected her from this cyst formation, as well as offering a lot of health support. And since her body is saying that it's having a little bit of a challenge, it's time to do preventative measures.

Breast Health Protocol:

1. Rub a liberal amount of frankincense oil all over the breasts. (5-6 drops on each breast)

2. Then apply several drops of a second oil, rotating the following - one each day:

-Sandalwood
-Myrtle
-Tsuga

While Sacred Frankincense appears to contain more anti-cancer molecules, use what you have. Until we had Sacred Frankincense, we used our precious regular Frankincense with great results.

Also - this is the teacher in me - It is my understanding that cysts are formed because the liver is having problems. Why?

The liver can become challenged for several reasons:

1. Sleep deprivation - we need 7-8 hours of sleep in a completely dark room every night. If there are lights coming in from outside, or lights on a phone, clock, etc. that we can see, it affects our melatonin levels and prevents the proper sleep. Proper sleep allows the body to do 100's of different repair/regeneration processes and keeps our hormones healthy! Cover clocks, lights, etc., at night. Get black out curtains if needed. Take 1-3 Sleep Essence to insure a restful night. Put lavender oil on your feet at night or if you wake up during the night.

2. Dehydration and colon health - the liver filters the blood and sends the waste material to the colon. If the body is dehydrated and the colon is not flushing correctly, it sends the waste material back into the blood, then through the liver again, then back into the colon, etc. It's a vicious cycle. The liver becomes overworked.

Drink your water! 6-8 glasses a day! All other liquids, like iced tea, coffee, soda, juice, etc., require water to process - so not only do they not count as water - they dehydrate us further. Fiber is also important - and my favorite, for a myriad of reasons, is regular good old fashioned oatmeal. It's gentle and restores the mucous linings of the body, found in the digestive system, colon, etc. Remember that as kids, to make paper machete, we created our own "paste" by mixing white flour with water. It has the same affect in our colons... not good.

3. The liver processes fats so that we can have healthy hormones, brain, nerve covers, etc. If you eat too many bad fats, like fried foods, desserts, Ranch type dressings, fake butter, etc., your liver can become compromised. It still has to process the good fats - like avocados, nuts (not peanuts - they're legumes and they're terrible for the liver), olive oil, cold pressed avocado oil, cold pressed almond oil, salmon, etc., If you are eating too many bad fats, and not enough good fats, that will affect your hormones, brain, etc.

Young Living has a little booklet called "Re-Juva-Nate Your Health" (product #3874 - $2). You might want to read this booklet, and follow the suggestions to make sure that your liver is as healthy as possible!

All of us should do a liver cleanse periodically - once a year or so. The booklet will tell you how. We should also do a colon cleanse - especially if we don't eat enough fruits and vegetables which provide cleansing fiber.

I'm really grateful that your sister is not more seriously ill. I think this was "a wake up call."
**********************
In addition to the Breast Health Protocol, I would recommend women of all ages avoid antiperspirants because they prevent drainage of toxins through the sweat glands and cause them to drain into the breast. Look for natural deodorants, like Young Living's Aromaguard Meadow Mist Deodorant, Item #3572, that doesn't contain parabens because of their risk to breast cancer.

Want to discover how can lower your risk of developing breast cysts and breast cancer right now? Visit the website at http://www.youngliving.com/fdurham and select "products" from the menu.

Have a wonderful day!

Slique Weight Loss Tea - Nancy Sanderson

"Slique Tea is an exotic drink from Young Living that has been formulated with natural ingredients to help support individual weight goals. This blend is rich in flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. It also contains polyphenols, also known as catechins, which may be useful as part of a guilt-free weight-management regimen when combined with a healthy diet and physical activity.

Slique Tea is a delicious, premium blend of wholesome and rare ingredients. It offers a natural alternative to sugar-laden fruit drinks from concentrates, soda, and coffees and can be used as a part of a healthy weight-management program. Slique Tea contains Jade Oolong Tea from Taiwan. Jade Oolong tea grows in the high mountains of Taiwan.

When it comes to Jade Oolong tea it provide you more great health benefits:

1. One of the biggest health benefits of all is its capacity to aid weight loss. Experts from the University of Tokushima School of Medicine (Japan) proved that regular oolong tea consumption can stimulate fat burning process and specialists from the Suntory Research Center in Japan found that drinking Oolong tea can help lowering the fattening effects of the carbohydrates we receive with food. A research conducted by China in 1998 shows that of all the 102 female participants continuous consumption of oolong tea for six weeks resulted in body weight reduction.

Scientists from the University of Tokushima also found that oolong tea can double the amount of fat being excreted. They also proved that people who drank 2 cups of oolong tea each day burned over 157% fat than those who drank the same amount of green tea.

A US study conducted in 2001 by Physiologist Dr. William Rumpler of the US Agriculture Research Services’ Diet and Human Laboratory shows that oolong tea is effective in burning fat for energy.

2. It benefits for our skin it can do wonders with combating the aging of skin especially with wrinkles and dark sports.

3. It has strong powers to prevent heart disease and cancer.

4. It is beneficial for diabetes patients.

5. It will help reduce high blood pressure. The researches which took place in Aichi Medical University proved that drinking oolong tea can help in lowering our LDL (bad) cholesterol level and polyphenols containing in oolong tea have positive effects on our arteries and must be considered a good support for the function of our cardiovascular system.

6. It assists in prolonging and improving vitality and life span.

Hsueh-Kung Lin PhD Director of Regenerative Medicine Laboratory an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Lin also conducts ground-breaking research on essential oils and other natural treatments. Along with Marc Schreuder, Director of Product Formulation at Young Living, he went searching for the best tea in the world. It took them a long time because they had to travel all over and taste the teas. After drinking a lot of tea, Dr. Lin said he got tea drunk. All teas are different and taste different. $50 millions of dollars has been spent in research and the research is still on going.

He said the higher up in the mountains you find the best tea because it absorbs more moisture making it taste better but it cost more to harvest it. There are tea completions and Jade Oolong tea won first prize. It cost $7,000.00 per kilo and it has won 121 times so we are getting the best.

We want to thank Young Living for all the research they do in making sure we do get the best!!!!! It has taken 3 Long years to find the best tea and now we have it. Thank you Gary!!
