Our Story
My daughter Macy: Macy is now a very healthy and active 2 year old;
however, this hasn’t always been the case. When she was just 7 weeks old she
was hospitalized with RSV. Ever since, she has had respiratory issues and has
been back in the hospital countless times. In fact, since moving to Melrose in
2007, over a period of 3 months, she was in the Melrose ER 3 times and
hospitalized here once due to complications from a cold. She would have cold
symptoms one day, and then would not be able to breathe the next due to
inflammation in her lungs, plus asthma. It was very scary. She was always
given oxygen, put on steroids, inhalers, nebulizer treatments, and on the bad
visits, admitted and hooked up to IVs. It would take her about 2 weeks to get
back to normal and then because this cold was just circulating through our
house, she would get it back the next month and the cycle continued. It was
awful!
A friend of ours used essential oils because her son went through similar situations when he was around Macy’s age. I began asking her more, and she told me they diffused oils in their home every day. By diffusing the oils, they got the benefits by breathing the oils into their lungs, which helped to heal and prevent problems.
In late September of 2007, we started diffusing the same oils in our home as our friend did and we also started Macy on a special juice called NingXia Red – which I’ll explain more about later. She hasn’t been back in the hospital since – with the exception of regular check-ups! No inhaler use, medications, side affects, neb treatments . . . NOTHING! Just the oils and the NingXia Red! We are SO thankful!
My husband Rob: In the summer of 2007 Rob started having some very strange symptoms. He began getting so dizzy and light-headed every day that he could barely function – and couldn’t even bend over to change a baby diaper. His hands and feet also began going numb. He went in and had an MRI and found that he had lesions (internal scars) on his brain and his spine. This is a very serious condition and it is the beginning stage of MS. This is a very scary life-changing disease that wears away the protective layers of your nerves and eventually makes you loose the use of your muscles.
Once the reality of this disease set in, we decided to meet with our friend Vicki, who knows an amazing amount about the healing value of essential oils. She came over to our house one day with her whole case of oils and told Rob he should try a few things to see how it would affect his light-headedness. He was very skeptical. He would rub one oil on and then another. He was becoming disinterested and was getting more and more detached from our conversations. All of a sudden just a couple of minutes after trying an oil blend called Brain Power, he sat up from the recliner he was relaxing in and said, “Something’s happening!” For the first time in a month or so, his dizziness had cleared! He was still a skeptic though, so he went over to Vicki’s house the next day to get a drop or two of that same oil and it worked again. He did it again and Vicki gave him a small sample bottle so he didn’t need to make the trip to her house everyday. After several days of applying the oil and feeling the affects, he was a definite believer!! He continued to use the oil and after a while, his body wasn’t requiring it as often. He was even going a few days without having any dizziness. A few months later, it was time to go back to his neurologist in Minneapolis. His doctor was expecting to see more lesions and diagnose him with MS. HOWEVER, after getting the results back from his MRI, not only did he not have an increase in lesions, but two of his other lesions had shrunk and almost disappeared! The doctor, and Rob and I, were amazed! Not only had the oils been clearing his dizziness, but they had been healing his lesions! MIRACULOUS!
We’ve now starting using the oils for all kinds of things in our house, from headaches to back and joint pain, to emotional issues, concentration, cold & flu symptoms, you name it! Click here to see a complete list of our actual uses. We even use toothpaste made from essential oils so our family can avoid the dangerous side affects of fluoride! Click here to learn more about the dangers of fluoride and how it can affect your family. We’ve been using the oils now for just over a year, but it hasn’t been until just the last couple of weeks that I’ve been compelled to share our story and really try to help others. One of my personal favorites is an oil blend named Peace & Calming. I use it on myself when I’m feeling high stress or anxiety and it just helps me to catch my breath and gather my thoughts. I also put it on my kids when it’s bedtime and I know they’re tired but are fighting sleep. It’s so natural and gentle and it works amazing! Another personal favorite of mine is a blend called Thieves. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, etc. It is awesome! When I feel a tickle in my throat or think I have a cold coming on, I will lick a drop of Thieves. It contains Cinnamon Bark, so it’s very hot, like Big Red times 1000 J It’s only hot for about 30 seconds and then it really eases the symptoms and after a few uses, I usually kill the cold before it even starts. When my two little girls, Jayda or Macy get slight cold symptoms, I put Thieves on their feet at night before they go to bed.
Essential Oils In History
It
really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone how well these oils work; after all,
this is what all people use to use for healing, before pharmaceutical companies
took over the world! Think of what gifts were brought to Baby Jesus,
Frankincense and Myrrh, two very precious oils. In fact, there are 188
references to oils in the bible. Click here to learn more about Essential Oils
mentioned in the Bible, and why! Even other ancient royalty, such as the
famous Egyptian King, King Tut, was found buried with jars upon jars of oils in
his tomb. There was more oil than gold. What does that tell you about its
value? They knew back then, what we are just starting to rediscover! These
oils are very healing!
Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils versus "Smelly" Oils
Just
so there are no misunderstandings, there are different kinds and different
grades of oils. The oils I have been referring to are 100% pure therapeutic
grade essential oils. There’s a difference. Most oils out there are
simply the “smelly” kind, used to make your house smell good. They are simply
aromatherapy oils, which is an industry regulated by the cosmetic industry.
Then there are the therapeutic kind, like the Young Living Essential oils I have
been talking about. Young Living oils can be used as aromatherapy, or can be
put directly on your skin, or can be taken internally (some oils such as
peppermint or cinnamon are hot though). They are 100% pure and organic. Now
the tricky and very misleading problem that exists – is that many companies can
claim that they too are 100% pure, when in fact they’re not. The scary thing
is, that they can even write “100% Pure” on their labels, even if only a
fraction of their ingredients are actually pure. It doesn’t mean they don’t
contain chemicals, and it doesn’t mean that their oil wasn’t strained through
and over processed and stretched out. One way to check to see how pure the oils
are, is to see if you can take them internally, or to see if you can put them on
your skin. If you cannot do those things, then there is a reason – most likely
because they’ve combined the oils with toxic chemicals.
How Pure Are They?
When
I was a kid, my mom always used to tell us that when we ate an orange, we should
always eat a little bit of the white part too. Have you ever heard that the
rind of fruits is where all of the vitamins are? My mom was right! Just to
give you an idea of how pure and amazing these oils are . . . 1 drop of the
Young Living (YL) Lemon oil has the power and nutritional value of 1 pound of
lemon rinds! 1 drop of the YL Peppermint oil is so potent and so pure that it
has the peppermint power equal to 26 cups of peppermint tea! It’s amazing! By
the way, lemon is great for waking up the brain and peppermint is great for
stomach issues and headaches.
Doctors have often said that if they could find a way to go beyond the blood-brain barrier, that they could begin to start curing diseases, such as MS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gerick’s disease, etc. These oils can do this – as is being proven by my husband!
The Frequency of Your Body & The Frequency of Essential Oils
To
really understand how oils work, it’s important to learn a little bit about
frequency. Frequency is basically like electricity. Our bodies are
electrical. Our brains fire electricity back and forth and we can conduct
electricity by giving shocks. The average frequency of a healthy human body is
between about 62-72Hz. When your frequency drops, your immune system weakens,
which makes you more open to illness and disease. If your frequency falls to
around 58Hz, cold and flu symptoms appear, and so on down the line to around
42Hz where Cancer can survive.
Every disease has a frequency and it has been proven that you can use items with higher frequencies to destroy diseases and illnesses with lower frequencies. Just to give you an idea: Processed and canned foods have a frequency of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15Hz, dry herbs from 12 to 22 and fresh herbs from 20-27. Essential oils start at 52 and go as high as 320 Hz (Rose oil). Research has proven that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, which helps to create an environment where diseases, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc. cannot live. Click here to learn more about how essential oils can raise your frequency and improve your health.
Measuring The Frequency of Your Body With A ZYTO Scan
There’s an amazing new technology available called a ZYTO Scan (it is also used
by doctors in several different medical fields). This scan measures the
frequency of your body and lets you know which oils your body needs in order to
be in balance and at a more desirable frequency. It is an amazing tool!! If
you are interested in getting yourself and/or your family scanned, please get in
touch with me. I do not own a scanner, but am able to make arrangements for
you. For

Essential Oils & Emotions
By
the way, if you’ve had a chance to smell any of these oils, you’ve probably
noticed that every oil has a very distinct smell, some of which you’ll love and
some of which you might not be able to stand! It has been said that if you love
the smell of an oil, that your body must need it emotionally and if you are
drawn to an oil, yet cannot stand the smell, that you need it physically. Also
as a side note – the emotional control center in your brain is located right
behind your nose, which explains why your sense of smell is so linked to
emotions. It’s why you’ll smell something and it will remind you of a certain
memory, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Young Living Essential Oils can
often produce an immediate affect when it comes to balancing emotions, lifting
depression, calming anxiety, etc. It is so powerful and amazing!
Toxins & Free Radicals in Our Environment Affect Our Health
Next
I want to touch on toxins and free-radicals. I’m sure you’ve all heard the word
anti-oxidant. It’s everywhere now days. Many of us hear that term but don’t
really know what it means. Here’s the example I like to use: You know how when
your car gets a tiny bit of rust on it, before you know it, it spreads and grows
and just starts to eat away on your car? Well, oxidation is like rust in our
bodies. Free radicals cause oxidation. They are things that get into our
bodies from pollution, smoke, chemicals from products we use and eat everyday.
And they spread and cause problems in our bodies.
Free radicals are the cause of cancer and aging! It can be very scary.
The term anti-oxidant is used when something is able to fight off those free-radicals and fight off the oxidation or the “rust” from our body. Many people say to eat spinach or brussel sprouts, or prunes, raisins, etc – the list goes on and on. These are all foods high in anti-oxidants. They help fight off the bad things in our bodies that make us sick. Then there is the worst free radical of all, called the Super-Oxide. It has been linked to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, asthma and many other very serious conditions. Our bodies spend a lot of energy fighting off these super-oxides, plus all of the other free radicals.
The sad truth is --- You can do your best to do everything right medically - eat right, exercise, etc. But every day your body comes in contact with hundreds of chemicals by way of our soaps, deodorants, lotions, foods, air, etc. which can sabotage your health!
The US Department of Agriculture has come up with a way to measure a foods ability to fight off oxidation, or free radicals, from harming our bodies. The test they came up with is called the ORAC test. It stands for the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, which basically tests which foods or nutritional supplements are best able to absorb, and therefore, eliminate free radicals in our bodies. They’ve also developed a test called the S-ORAC, which specifically tests a food ability to fight off that very dangerous super-oxide.
The World's Best Anti-Oxidant - NingXia Red
This
brings me to my next topic, NingXia Red (pronounced Ning-Sha, although you will
often hear me say it like Ninja – out of habit). As I mentioned earlier, my
daughter Macy drinks NingXia Red every single day (actually both Jayda & Macy
do). It is a special juice that blows any and every other rich anti-oxidant
food or drink out of the water! In fact, it scored so high on the ORAC scale
that it was sent back a second time to verify the results!
The main ingredient in NingXia Red is the NingXia Wolfberry from China. These amazing wolfberries have been rated the food with the highest antioxidant ability. Check out the chart below which ranks this tiny red berry against over high anti-oxidant foods:
I know there are several other products on the market who claim to be the best too. Some of them even contain the NingXia Wolfberry, but it’s not enough to just contain the berry. It’s about how it is processed to maintain its nutritional value. NingXia Red uses not only the juice, but also the pulp, skin, seed, etc. It’s a puree of the whole wolfberry. In fact, after drinking NingXia Red, I always put a little bit of water in my glass and swish it and drink it, because there is usually little bits and pieces of the fruit still in there – the best part, as my mom would say!
Check out the charts below that rate NingXia Red against its competitors based on the ORAC scale and S-ORAC scale (developed by the US Department of Agriculture):
* The
data from the charts above comes from Brunswick Laboratories out of MA.
They are an independent lab
who also does all of the ORAC testing for the competitors and other nutritional
supplements regulated by the FDA.
Just to give you an idea of what this actually comes out to:
You
could drink 1 ounce of NingXia Red
OR
to get the equivalent nutrition and anti-oxidant power from a competitor, you’d have to drink:
1 ½
Bottles of Via Viente
or 8
Bottles of Xango
or 9
Bottles of Noni Juice
and
a whole truckload of Goji Juice.
Another popular anti-oxidant drink out there is called Vibe – in fact, during the fall of 2008, they had a kiosk in the St. Cloud mall near the food court and I stopped by there to ask them a couple of questions. I asked the lady about how it compared to the product called NingXia Red. She said she’d never heard of it, but she was sure that it wouldn’t be as good as VIBE – I’m not sure if she was sincere or not. I asked her if she’d ever heard of the ORAC tests and she said she had, and in fact, she had some literature on how VIBE ranked on the charts – also done by Brunswick Laboratories, the same place that produced the charts above. Her charts, however, did not bother to include NingXia Red. I wonder why? Her charts did list several of the same other competitors as are listed in the charts above. Although I do not have the chart in a computer file (I have it on a hard copy) comparing VIBE to NingXia Red, I can tell you that it is about double or triple the MonaVie, and no where near NingXia Red.
NingXia Red's Edge
NingXia Red is also the only health/anti-oxidant drink that is infused with
essential oils! It includes lemon and orange essential oils, which not only add
flavor, but are also a natural stimulant to the immune and circulatory system,
as well as good for nourishing the liver, and being very high in d-limonene,
which helps fight against cell mutation caused by free radicals.
Many nutritional supplement companies tell their clients that they shouldn't bother to take any supplement in excess, because it would just be a waste since the body can only absorb so much at a time. Essential oils turn this theory upside down! Oils help your body down to a cellular level and actually make it possible for your body to absorb the full nutrient value of your vitamins and food!
During my research, I looked everywhere to find a chart from a competitor where they actually compared NingXia Red with their product. I found none! The only charts I really found were charts on a Goji Juice site showing how good wolfberries are and how they rate on charts against other foods, but none actually showing their products’ ratings. We all know that the wolfberries are awesome, but to get the full nutritional value, it has to be picked, processed and packaged very VERY carefully. And don’t forget, NingXia Red uses the whole NingXia Wolfberry, not just the juice!
Just to give you an idea of exactly how amazing NingXia Red is:
You could drink 1 once of NingXia Red a day, or, to get the same nutritional benefits, you could eat:
22
Medium Carrots
34 Large Onions
100 Oranges
10 Pounds of Spinach
2 Pounds of Beets
93 Apples
3 Cups of Raspberries
814 Blueberries
One ounce of NingXia Red also contains:
18 Amino Acids
21 Trace Minerals
6 Essential Fatty Acids
Vitamins: B1, B2, B6, and Vitamin E
More Beta Carotene than Carrots
More Vitamin C than Oranges
Wolfberry polysaccharides to enhance immune health, support proper cell
communication without spiking blood sugar levels (Wolfberries and Blue Agave are
low glycemic and perfect for diabetics)
I could go on all day about the benefits of NingXia, but to try to keep this less lengthy, I won’t go into all of the details, but would just like to mention a few of the other ailments/conditions that NingXia Red is great for.
* It
supports eye health by having higher levels of Zeaxanthin than any other known
food. Zeaxanthin is the key to protecting the macula, which helps people fight
Macular Degeneration.
* It helps your body maintain an alkaline state, instead of being acidic.
Diseases such as cancer cannot grow in an alkaline body.
* It helps regulate blood sugar in a diabetic
* It helps ease arthritis by counter-acting inflammation caused by free
radicals
* It helps ease asthma and other respiratory issues, as has been proven by our
daughter Macy!
* It helps to wake up your brain or give you a natural pick-me-up if you are
tired or lacking rest, without crashing afterwards.
* Not to mention it is just good for overall health!
Cost?
Now I know what you’re thinking, of course this all sounds awesome, but what
does this all cost . . .
Essential oils range in cost depending on the availability of the oil and the healing value of the oil. Lemon oil for example only costs about $9 wholesale for a 15 mL bottle. The RC that we put in our diffuser everyday costs around $18 for a 15 mL bottle. The Peace & Calming that I love so much costs around $30 for 15 mL, and the Brain Power that Rob uses costs almost $50 for a 5 mL. Some cost more than that, some less. But how can you put a price on healing your brain or your lungs??? The doctor had prescribed Rob with Valum, which basically would’ve turned him into a zombie. Which would you choose? Besides the hospital and medication costs associated with Macy’s monthly ER visits last year, how do you put a price on watching your baby daughter unable to breathe and being put on oxygen and steroids, all because of catching a common cold? I would rather never see Macy given an IV again in my life!! By the way, my friend who uses the oils for her son, went from having a yearly hospital bill of around $7000-$8000 to having a $200 yearly hospital bill after beginning to use the oils. She figured she probably spent about $500 that first year in oils. Wow!
One bottle of NingXia Red contains 34 ounces of very powerful juice. A typical recommended serving to maintain overall health is 1 ounce a day. (2-4 oz a day can be taken if you are fighting a more serious condition.) If you buy one bottle at a retail cost it runs $52.30 plus tax & shipping, which comes out to to about $1.80 per day. Most people easily spend more than this on pop or coffee each day. At wholesale pricing, you can get the same bottle for $39.75 plus tax S&H, which comes out to about $1.40 per serving. There is also the option available to purchase 4 bottles for just $150 and it also comes with 10 single serve packs. If you go that route, you pay just $1.16 per serving! You can’t get your morning cup of coffee for that!
How Can You Get Your Hands On It?
When
we first started using the oils, we were buying them from our friend, who sold
them to us at her wholesale price, which worked out well. Then when we realized
that these were products that we loved and that worked, and that we wanted to
use them everyday, we looked into it a little more. We found out that if we
enrolled our selves, we would get wholesale pricing, which we were already
getting, but that we could be in control of our own ordering, have everything
shipped directly to us, and best of all, that we could gain rewards and get free
stuff! To enroll as a distributor with Young Living and have the freedom to
order whenever you want and get wholesale pricing, you only need to order $50
worth of product per year. If you sign up for something called “Essential
Rewards Autoship” and decide to spend $50 per month, you can start to earn free
product. We knew that with the Brain Power and the NingXia Red, it would be
easy to meet that commitment each month, so we signed up on Autoship. By the
way, we could cancel it at anytime if we changed our minds. After your first 6
months on autoship, you get 10% back of everything you spent in your choice
of free product! From 6-12 months on autoship, you earn 15% back in free
product, and after 1 year of being on autoship, you get 20% back in free product
of your choice! We just completed our first year of doing autoship. We
redeemed over $100 worth of free product after our first 6 months and just last
month after we completed our 2nd 6 months, I called in and was very
excited to learn that we had almost $200 worth of free product coming!
AWESOME! My sister said, “You spend that much in the last 6 months!?” It’s
true that we did spend a fair amount on our own oils, but we also allowed some
of our friends and family and even acquaintances to buy it from us for
wholesale. We didn’t get into the oils to sell things at retail and make money
that way. So, by buying our own product at wholesale and by sharing with some
friends and family, we’ve earned LOTS of free product! How fun!
How To Share
With Others
If you
think that these are products that you would like to use and if you can think of
anyone else you know who could benefit from at least learning about the
products, I would like to encourage you to enroll. It is an amazing trustworthy
company who is really on a mission to help heal, and it is a great feeling when
you can help someone personally! Even when I come across someone with a
headache and I share my oil with them . . . I love to ask them how their
headache is because I know the oils work! It’s so fun to share with others when
you know that everyone is looking for healthy alternatives for their family!
If you’re interested, there are a few different ways to enroll. You can buy a Start Living kit for just $40. This enrolls you as a distributor with Young Living (you are not required to sell anything), you will get wholesale pricing, and you will receive a packet of papers, some informational DVD’s and a 5mL bottle of Lavender and Peppermint oil. You can also purchase a Start Living with NingXia Red Kit for $185. This includes the entire Start Living Kit, plus a 4 pack of NingXia Red and 10 singles. You actually save money if you go with this package! There is also a start up kit called Start Living with Everyday Oils. This is the kit I love! It includes the regular Start Living Kit and then also includes a set of 9 of the most sought after essential oils, including a few of my favorites, Peace & Calming and Thieves! It’s been called your own medicine cabinet because it is such a versatile kit. By purchasing this kit you actually save over $50, because if you were to purchase the Start Living Kit and these 9 oils separately, it would be much more. This kit is just $150! Let me know if you are interested in enrolling and I can easily help you through it! - it can be done at www.youngliving.com – my member number is #965797
Thanks for reading this short novel! J I hope you found it interesting! Please ask any questions you can think of and I’ll do my best to find you the answer. I’m still learning about everything too – it’s so fun!
I don’t expect everyone to try all of these things, but if I can at least inform a few people in the process, I can hopefully make a difference!
Sincerely,
Heather Davis
