Well, I am not a scientist. But I understand the scientific method - experiment and observe - and got to try it out first hand. First was with our bout of illness from a few weeks ago. We'd been going through the worst cold our family had ever seen. My wife and kids had each had it and my son was getting it again. Stephanie finally called her friend and made her bring her oils and put them on the kids and us. They all recovered within a few days with frequent use and I stubbornly avoided more contact and had to deal with a sinus infection for the next week.
Next, Stephanie was scanned (bio-scanner) and it showed one oil specifically that she needed. We got that oil and the affect was incredible. She calls it her "crack" because it makes her so happy. I was loosening up at this point, but still a bit sceptical for my own needs. Then I caught the vision.
Last weekend I took a trip to Arizona to see my brother go through the Mesa Temple for his endowments. While the experience was awesome, I had to stay in homes that housed dogs. Pet hair has always keeled me over. I get wheezy and runny nosed the first hours and even with drugs my symptoms persist for a day followed by a week of asthma issues. All I had that weekend was a little bottle of Breathe (a blend of oils) and used it consistently. It didn't completely remove the symptoms, but it made a huge difference and I never had to get an inhaler.
After the two day trip I got home and used a diluted vial of Balance (diluted for the kids, another blend) and the symptoms stopped by the next day. For this whole week I should have been coughing and slowed down by my lack of oxygen. Actually, I was running late the past two days and had to run a good deal to get to work on time. Still no asthma and no relapse. Yeah, I'm convinced.
The allergy treatments with N.A.E.T. were a blessing and a miracle. They fixed issues I didn't even know I had, but saw the impact they had given me for years once they were lifted. These oils are very similar. I get that people will doubt and reason them away, but I am tired of relying on "modern" medicine and its magic pills. Pills often don't work exactly right or build up tolerances, plus many times they only function as a mask for the issues. The oils are not a bandage (as they said tonight). They simply provide the nutrients our bodies lack - thus giving the body a chance to heal itself.
What I was thinking from all these things was how much we are missing when we bind ourselves into a medicinal hole, especially with western medicine. There is so much more out there to help us. I don't think we should completely abandon the sciences and their fruits. Surgeries and drugs and even over the counter medications have their places and help many people. It is when we rely solely on them that we are blinded to truth that may exist elsewhere.
How many other amazing health things are out there? Just doing a brief search on Wikipedia (obviously not the most accurate source out there) revealed this self-proclaimed, incomplete list: naturopathy, chiropractic medicine, herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, homeopathy, acupuncture, and nutritional-based therapies. I don't know how many work or not, but I am more than open to the idea that they might and I know that at least a few do.
God doesn't place all his eggs in one basket. He spread his truth and light over all the earth in different ways. Medicine, real medicine (whatever kind that actually works) is an inspiration from God and blesses lives. False healers (whether people or compounds) bind us down and yoke us to addictions and practices that keep us where we are and force our dependence upon them. I believe that many truths of medicine from all over the world could be blended into one great whole and hope to incorporate truth from wherever it may come.
