YL and quackwatch site

[Guest guest]

And thank you from me as well. This information is exactly what I need

right now. All the research I've done has only confirmed the uneasiness I've

had

in my gut from my first intro to YL (and to EOs btw).

 

Like Pam I have people close to me who are dedicated YL users and it's is

bound to alienate us as I remove myself from the situation. Alas, integrity

and good sense got the best of me and while it would be fun to live in ignorant

bliss, I just can't do it....and it doesn't seem as if my friend (using YL

for 5 years vs my 2 months) wants to be educated and I don't want to insult

her at this point...as she dreams of " changing the world " and gaining mucho

residual income to boot.

 

Anyway, thanks again. I found my answers on skin absorption (or lack

thereof) too btw. I guess I'd like to see reports of actual harm done using YL

(or

any other) eos neat..also with ingesting eos...that'll be my next search...

 

Now I'm ready to move on, continue learning real solid information, using

quality oils and herbs and just having fun and being healthy!

 

Thanks to all for good information and kindness...it's all a bit

overwhelming with differing viewpoints, but such is life.

 

All my best,

 

Terri

just a final (well, maybe not ;->) word on the subject for now

anyway - I just wanted to really thank Butch publicly for taking

the time to go thru that link listed as a rebuttal by YL on the

quackwatch site. That took a lot of time and I know he is not

just hanging around with nothing to do but answer questions on

YL!

 

I had my concerns from the getgo on the Quackwatch site and I

really hate to send anyone to that site to check anything out -

especially since it seems so obvious that he (Barrett) has a

vendetta against all things naturala - but then reading the

rebuttal from YL ... well, that was like wading thru my neglected

winter horse stalls with NO BOOTS ON! What a quagmire of spin! I

wish I knew who the real 'doctor' was that investigated YL but

only because I am so concerned about my mom who is so heavily

into YL oils and has so many people under her and is adamant

about 'her' oils vs 'mine' ... sigh.... there is just no talking

to her about it - so guess maybe that's where it needs to end...

I just have no peace of mind though as she uses so many oils

neat, does the RDT to whoever she can get on her $500 table (no

she doesn't charge, but still....) she's constantly putting

cinnamon oil on her hand and licking it off to get a 'high' ...

at least that's what I call it...

 

anyway, thanks again Butch for putting some clarity into the spin

doctor YL spits out -

 

oh yeah - I did write YL and asked them some questions on where

and how GY got his 'credentials' that he uses behind his name as

I 'would like to investigate that for further education

myself'.... they wrote me back... and in part said:

 

" At the time that Gary attended Bernadean University, there was

not an

accredited naturopathic college in the United States. Many of

Gary's

associates recommended that he become credentialed, as he was

working in

his clinic in California at the time. He checked around and

found that

Bernadean was the university that most of the Naturopaths had

received

their degree from.

 

After four years of correspondent courses, Gary received his

Doctorate

of Naturopathy degree. During the time Gary attended Bernadean,

Dr.

Kadans was in the process of accrediting the university.

However, he

was not successful. After his passing, his wife and a secretary

tried

to keep the school alive. However, they did not have the

education nor

the skill set to do so. The university was eventually turned

into a

mail order diploma mill and is now under investigation.

 

To answer your questions, Gary is a Naturopath. However, he is

not

licensed to practice medicine, as Bernadean is not considered an

accredited institution in the state of Utah. "

 

now....I ask you ... how could he receive a Doctorate of

Naturopathy DEGREE if it is NOT an accredited institution... to

take off the spin.... yep....it's a mail order diploma.....just

wondering ... mmmm >>> 4 <<<< years???? mmm

 

well, I'm putting that baby to rest...thanks again Butch

 

Blessings,

Pam
