NiteWorks™

From Chrislee
The best in my life is the NiteWorks™.

In 2000 I was having such bad, totally unexplained pain on my right side for months. Spent thousands...or more on medical test, pain killers, and I let my cleaning business go. Life sucked.

I am a mommy of two small girls. I can't be on pain killers. They need me to have a brain regardless of my pain. I was eventually diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which in my opinion is what they tell you when they can't find anything else to say. I have read all I can and have not found anything that helps.. Truly helps!

I bought the NiteWorks™ for my dad because he had a stroke in his left eye and lost the sight. His blood pressure was so dangerous they felt he would have a major stroke soon. He just turned 65....he should have several more years!

He takes lots of prescriptions for it now. So, I decided as a distributor, I should try NiteWorks™ so I can tell people what it tastes like, how I felt, etc.

By the way, I have had a sleep disorder since I was 3....basically I don't sleep at night. Melatonin helps, but not like the dangerous prescriptions. But I will accept that.

The first night I took NiteWorks™, I noticed I fell asleep well (but had the melatonin too), but I slept all night...that was different. Then I woke up at a normal adult time, 7:30am...that's completely different. And my hand was not swollen...different. I DIDN'T HURT....way different. AND I wasn't tired......never felt that before. I took it 2 more nights and had the same results. I only used it that three times to save it for good ole dad.

But now I have my own. Last night was my first night. And again, I woke up like I think normal people must. I had no pain, I just got up when it was time to get ready....without misery and begging God for one more hour. So, I'm sold...period.

I don't care what it costs. It will never cost what doctors have already costs me...useless prescriptions have cost me, and time losing sleep, and being a grouchy mommy.

I now see it as priceless!

130lb Weight Loss

From Lisa and Dale Steward
Before Herbalife I used to weigh over 400 lbs and had to weigh myself at a truck stop. I was tired all the time and had to stop after a short time driving and pull into a truck stop and take a nap. I also have a condition called Sleep Apnea. I have to use a CPAP machine to force me to breathe while I sleep. I also had sinusitis and had to take sinus medicine and prescription nasal spray to be able to breathe. After being on these products for one month, I lost 20 lbs, got off my sinus medicine and nasal spray and had plenty of energy to be able to complete driving without a nap. I went on to lose over 119 lbs, over 43 inches of body fat and I have more energy than I had in High School. I recently have been able to stop using the CPAP machine at night as I am able to sleep now without it. If I can do it, you can too. These products have changed my quality of life and are safe for everybody. These products will put the nutrition in your body through Cellular Nutrition.

Who do you know that needs to lose weight, gain weight, lower blood pressure, or relieve stress. I can help them have a better quality of life. Call me for more information.

Allergies & Croup

From Letitia Pierce
I had a neat experience last week with the oils and did not even think to post it here until I read someone's post tonight and it made me realize that what I had to say might help someone else. I have gotten used to the "miracle of the oils" so I sometimes just take for granted that they will work, but there are others that are new and have not had very many miracles of their own. This is for you.

Our church youth group went on a service project last week to help clean up downed trees and brush from a neighborhood. There was a lady there who was having a very uncomfortable reaction to the pollen or something. Her eyes were watering really bad and she did not feel well. I do not suffer from allergies, but I had read that lavender was good for allergies, and since I always carry several oils with me :) I asked if she wanted to try some lavender and see if it helped. She was ready to try anything. I was not sure exactly where to apply the oil so I put some down her nose, under her eyes and on the bone behind her ears. In a few minutes, she could feel a difference! Her eyes no longer were burning. She was not sneezing and she was able to stay and enjoy the evening.

Another girl at this outing was having a reaction to the host's cat. I, again :), offered her some lavender oil, and in about a minute she was fine and wanted me to tell her mom where she could get some of that oil. I happily obliged. In fact, her mom and I talked for a little while about oils and other health issues.

Later, my two oldest sons who have never had allergies that I know of, came to me with itchy, watery eyes and sneezing. I don't know what kind of branches and brush they were gathering, but it was some powerful kind of pollen that I am glad we do not have where we live. Anyway, I got out my lavender. They know from experience to come to me with any kind of health problem. The lavender worked great on one son, but the other one took longer to see any relief. I just kept having him apply lavender and even gave him some peppermint to see if that would help. They were both able to stay for the cookout after the service project, so the lavender did work. Several times.

While I'm here I will share my testimony about R.C. and croup. My 9yos has had to deal with croup attacks since he was two. Until I learned about using YL, we just suffered in the steamy bathroom and prayed for a quick recovery to his inability to breathe. Since I have been using oils, he has had three attacks (the last one being last night). The first time he started that barking cough, I got out R.C. and put it on his chest and Exodus II on his feet. I also diffused R.C. in his room. I went back to check on him in 10 minutes and he was ASLEEP! I worried all night that he would wake up barking, but he never did. This has happened twice since and I just follow the same protocol. His cough never goes past a bark. He never struggles to breathe. This is such a miracle.

love,
Letitia Pierce

Shingles

From Denise
My husband started with a rash on his upper inside left thigh that looked like a series of bug bites or even ingrown hairs. This was a Thursday. He also had stiffness and numbness/burning in his lower left back and down the front left leg to the knee with this rash. On Friday is was worse with the rash now all coming together and getting really mean looking and starting to get blisters. (later over the weekend he also got a small red spot the size of a silver dollar on his leg lower near his knee and one about the size of a quarter on his back.) When I looked at it shingles came to mind. I cannot explain why, it just did although I have never seen a shingles outbreak before. I looked in my Essential Oils PDR under shingles and I did not have all the oils that it said to use. Everything in the book fit his symptoms. I mixed Raven, lavender and Melrose in an empty lavender bottle along with several drops of the V6 mixing oil. He put the oils on his low back and down his leg including the rash area. He did this every two hours of waking time and if he woke up during the night. He is a HUGE skeptic and did not believe in the oils, but he put them on just the same without a fight. I ordered Ravensara, geranium, juniper, helichrysum and Berry Young Juice and had them all overnighted. I also read in the book that Calophyllum inophyllum, i.e, Tamanu oil (from a tree in Tahiti) can be used with Ravensara and the combination of these two oils has produced dramatic results and can bring about complete remission in 7 days. I ordered the Tamanu oil and had it air shipped from Tahiti. My husband went to his doctor on Monday and was diagnosed with shingles. He was given a script for Valtrex (used to suppress herpes outbreaks) and Vioxx for his pain. He felt better that he had a "professional" give him the same diagnosis that I did. The doctor told him he would have nerve pain any where from 3 weeks to 6 months. Anyway, my husband continued religiously with the oils (he did not tell the doctor he was using them). I got the other oils and mixed them all together. It would take about 2 minutes after he put the oils on that he would not have any more pain in his low back or leg. When ever the pain would return, he would put he oils back on. He has been drinking the Berry Young Juice 1x per day in the am. I plan on doing a raindrop on him later this week because he will be able to lay on the table the length of time it will take to do the raindrop. Today is 11 days from the first day that he broke out. The two small spots on his lower leg and back never progressed any further than being red. They are both almost completely gone. The main rash on his leg is completely gone except for the small spots that blistered that now have scabs on them. There are just the scabs left, no redness, no heat, etc. He has stated to me that his nerve pain is now about 50% of what it was initially and he is able to sit in an upright position now and it does not bother him to be like that for any length of time (he initially could not sit upright because it hurt his back and groin area too much-he likened it to the sensation of his skin ripping when he moved-nice huh?) At nine days from the onset he was able to remove the snow blower off our lawn tractor and put the 48" inch mower deck back on the tractor. He still gets tired, but he naps and then he feels better. The best part...he now believes in the oils!!!! By the way, his doctor told him that he should take all his medicine even though he feels that it is not working because they are working even if we do not feel they are working. QUACK!!!!!!

The mixture that I made up is: 10 drops of Raven, 20 drops of Ravensara, 20 drops of lavender, 20 drops of helichrysum, 20 drops Tamanu oil, 20 melrose. He would use 2 drops of this mixture on his whole front thigh area and 2 drops on his back every two hours. I know he would not be better to this degree if he did not use these oils. Now we have to work on the hard part and try to get his immune system strong again and address his extremely stressful job that he goes to every week day. Pray for me!

Chronic Sinus

From Carol Bodnar
Briefly in 3 years I have had chronic sinus problems...that lead to fluid in my inner ears. I went to my physican who only treated me with antibiotics and decongestant/antihistimines. When this did not help she sent me to an ENT who suggested surgery to put "tubes in my ears"..when I refused he said there was nothing he could do for me. Again the problem continued...my physican suggested an allergist. After 80 scratch tests and an MRI of my sinus passage (with high resolution) she could not find anything that I was allergic to or why this problem was re occuring. I knew Tina from years ago when she helped me with a inflamed patella (knee problem) and so I called her to see if maybe my spine or something was out of allignment and causing this disturbance...It was not..however She treated me with your Essential Oils... with peppermint oil on the base of my neck as well as theives oil in the back area of my neck .. specifically lymph node area. On the sinus passages below my eyes she massaged Raven. Within 5 (yes I said 5) visits in a one week period of time...both my ears were unblocked... I could hear...and a problem WAS resolved as a direct result of using massage and these oils. That is why I am ordering them...I want to do this consistently so that this problem does not come back...Thank you so much!!!

An Amazing Weight Loss Story

From Celeste Norman
If you do not know my story, ask me, I will share!

From 327 pounds to 127 pounds... I am entering my very first Figure show November 5th in St. Augustine, Florida. It is going to be amazing, I hope you will come to cheer me on!

I started 12 weeks ago to seek out my final goal of weighing 125 pounds. 12 weeks ago @ 154 and 28% body fat, today I am 127 and have gone to 17% body fat. I could not have done this without the help, support, belief, encouragement, and LOVE of my two dear mentors, Lee Apperson and Jennifer Micheli. I adore you both! As most of you know 6 weeks ago I almost gave up my dream because I had a set back with a hospital stay needing emergency women surgery, and was off my feet and in bed most of 4 weeks, not having any training from the gym and not wanting to stay focused because I felt sorry for myself! It took telling my leaders, I had to pull out. neither of them, Lee nor Jen would accept a quitter, so I had a detour... Lee said to me, NO PROBLEM... just be the very best you can be on stage November 5th, then he asked me... do you still desire your dream? and you still can eat right correct? MY answer was yes... so his reply was... reach out and be the million dollar story. All the other stuff would work itself out! Guess what it did...could I have been better if I had that extra 4 to 5 weeks of training, absolutely... But here is what is important.

I have reached my goal and I will not ever want to weigh over 130 pounds again, my goal is to stay at 127 pounds. I am very healthy and feel great. I believe in myself 100%. This adventure made me a much stronger and passionate person. Finally, I know that 2 people really care about me, they did not let me give up, they gave me a choice, to be a quitter or be a believer... I chose the right path...never give up on your dreams... It goes to show, if you are driving down a road in your car and a sign says detour, are you going to take the detour or just sit at the fork in the road and quit driving, get out of your car and just sit there or are are you going to take the extra mile and get where you were headed!

Summer Remedies

Our 4th of July Weekend

What in the world did we use before we learned about Young Living?

This weekend we spent time at our summer home with 3 of our children and their spouses and children (11 grandchildren) and Grandma's and Grandpa's oils received a real work out.

Here are just a few of the weekends little 'hiccups' that the oils came to the rescue.

  1. Fingers of a 5 year old smashed in a door = Panaway, lavender, and Melrose. Results = within 5 minutes no crying, no bruising, and she continued on playing with her cousins.
  2. Leg craps of 7 year old = Peace and calming and Idaho Balsam Fir and he was up running around with 10 minutes.
  3. Bites and stings = Purification and all was well within a few minutes.
  4. Several Sun Burns = Lavender and Lava Derm
  5. 14 year old grandson burned on the muffler of a 4 wheeler - Grandpa's Peppermint was the applied within seconds
  6. Open sores on the leg of a 7 year old - Melrose and Lavender to the rescue.
  7. Sun stroke (we assume) with fever = peppermint on temples, forehead and in pure water for him to drink along with working the peppermint all over his feet. An hour or two later he was fine.
  8. Migraine (who wouldn't get one with most of the family confined in a small summer home and kids running all over the place?) Oils used were Peace and Calming, Lavender, and Aroma Seiz.
  9. Blisters on hands due to cutting thistle = Melrose and Lavender
  10. Slivers = Thieves
  11. Grandpa's and Grandma's nerves = Peace and Calming
