BACK TO SCHOOL AND IMMUNE PROTECTION TIPS
School Specials Testimonials on Cold and Flu
Tips for Teachers Kitchen Corner Questions
Fall brings change in the weather affecting everyone, sooner or later depending on your part of the country. And when there are children (umm, right, or adults) going to school, they naturally bring home their exposure to many microbial climates. We naturally often find immune system an unanticipated issue after the blessings of summer. From protection to fighting it off, many of us turn first to essential oils and to Young Living’s amazing array of immune enhancing products. For those of you who don’t know, Dr. Gary Young first designed his supplements for very fragile and very sick clients in his cancer clinic, making them especially both effective and gentle. We hope you enjoy, and invite your questions and testimonials for future issues!
Back to school also brings a lot of kids into their seats rather unceremoniously, having acclimated to be up and playing. With the epidemic proportions of ADD in addition, teachers are challenged to keep children calm as well as dealing with the noisy noses. See story and tips below for “the teach” in school – or at home!

Testimonials for Colds & Sore Throat
THIEVES
-
Question: “Does anyone have experience with a bacterial infection of the throat and something that might soothe/help it go away for my teen son? Just prefer to do the oils if we can get away from antibiotic. Thanks in advance.” Elaine Warfield
“Hi Elaine;
Years ago, a friend stopped by to borrow a bottle of Thieves because she had a nasty bacterial infection in her throat. She said, "I don't want to come in - I might give it to you!" I said, "Oh, no worries..." She stayed an hour and BREATHED on me... Ugh! Not long after that, I started to come down with whatever it was. This was before I started using oils in capsules, so what I did at that time was SLATHER myself with Thieves - on the bottom of my feet, gargling a drop of Thieves in water and swallowing it, breathing it, rubbing it on my throat... It took a couple of days, but I was grateful that it DID go away by itself... Even if I had used a full bottle of Thieves, which I'm sure I didn't, it wouldn't have cost me nearly as much as an antibiotic prescription plus time off from my beloved job - Young Living. I'm sure grateful for all the tools we have!!! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!” Vicki Opfer

EXODUS -
-
"This is a product that I rely on heavily during the winter months because if I find myself coming down with something, Exodus is often what I use first (3 capsules 3 times a day), and it really seems to knock things out like colds or flus. Sometimes I use it in combination with Thieves capsules, or Longevity capsules. But since it first came out, everyone in my family has been testing it, and we definitely get better results when we add Exodus to our infection fighting regimes.
My son, Chris, took some to college with him last year, and when everyone on his floor started coming down with the flu the week after flu shots were administered, Chris started taking Exodus and Longevity, and stayed well. Pretty soon, lots of kids were coming into his room to borrow "some of those capsules".
When Longevity capsules were BOGO, I missed getting them because they ran out before I got my order in. I just wanted to give you the first opportunity to get the Exodus capsules, if you'd like to have them on hand. I will place my order late tonight or first thing in the morning.
Have a wonderful day! Vicki"
Tips for the Teach!
-
Thieves Spritzer – put maybe a dozen drops in squirt bottle and spray the room in cold season… or could instead choose a chemical rich air freshener?
Peace & Calming Spritzer – A school teacher spritzed the room at afternoon recess the day after Halloween. … he looked up 5 minutes into storey time - ALL kids quiet! Designed originally for ADD children, this of course is not substitute advice for needed nutrition and other supplements or supportive measures.
Note: for regular use get glass spritzer bottles. After a little while the essential oils will begin to dissolve plastic. We don’t want to release those dangerous xeno-estrogens into the air; enough already in other plastics!
Kitchen Corner
-
Drinking Water – Enhance osmotic balance, desire for enough water, and also protect from microbes such as spring, well, or foreign sources of water. Try maybe 3 – 6 drops per gallon (start less) essential oils of your favorites, such as above. To cool, add mints!
Essential Fatty Acids - Less is more! Instead of tablespoons or giant capsules of Flax oil, try YL Essential Omegas, enhanced for both digestion and potency with essential oils. Add Essential Omegas in your protein drinks or smoothies for immune enhancement and flavor, and better use of your protein nutrients.
Berry Young Juice offers very highest ORAC (free radical reducing) rating deliciousness! At 2 Tbs/dose, one of those expensive bottles which just came down by $10/liter in price ain’t so costly. Adds fabulous flavor to a fruit smoothie.
Protein Drink without phlegm Martha's favorite is 1/2 - 1 scoop of Power Meal, 2 Tbs Berry Young Juice, some berries and an apple, 3 smaller dates, 2 tsp soaked fennel seeds, pinch cardamom, and 1 Tbs Coconut oil with dose of Essential Omegas and Mineral Essence blended with some water. For immune boost extraordinaire, I'll add a tablespoon of Sulphurzyme (MSM rich). Honors the digestion keeping fruit separate from most other foods, and still gives great protein boost! The oil gives flavor and staying power, as well as hormonal support.
