Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 On another list I belong to, someone has been extolling the virtues of YL. While I am not personally familiar with the company, I followed the thread that pretty much made them out to be crooks. I don’t want to damage anyone’s business (the person who was talking abut YL is, of course, a dealer) but if the products are as bad as I’ve heard, I feel like those who don’t know about this should get a heads-up. Anyone have any recommendations on whether I should speak up, and if so, what should I say? Is there a website that exposes this company? Thanks, Dave " Organized war is not a human instinct.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi David, I have been a Certified Holistic and Clinical Aromatherapist for 5 years now and an Herbalist for many years. I am also a NE Director for NAHA ( National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy) and have had many questions surface about Gary Young and YL oils by students and clients of mine. Many had dissapointing results through treatments and had shared their experiences with me.One of the questions you need to ask yourself is.. What is the basis for YL wanting to sell their essential oils to the public, is it to make as much money as possible by playing into the " selling scheme " they offer their " salespeople " or is the intention truley because they have the best interest of their clients at heart?? The intention of anyone wanting to help others in their healing quest, should come from the heart and be true... Visit this website that has documented information on Gary Young and YL oils and you decide. It is always important to give true facts and let the person who has asked the questions, decide for themselves. http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/young.html Follow your heart and be true to yourself: Sherri Reehil-Welser CHA,CCA David Lambert <dlmbrt wrote: On another list I belong to, someone has been extolling the virtues of YL.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 David, For an expose of YL, look no further than our very own Woobey Queen and http://aromaticsage.com I generally enjoy supporting my MLM colleagues, but make an exception for YL. Whenever it pops up, I tell people to visit aromatic sage, and I send them to naturesgifts or Butch.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 For an expose of YL, look no further than our very own Woobey Queen and HYPERLINK " http://aromaticsage.com " http://aromaticsage-.com I generally enjoy supporting my MLM colleagues, but make an exception for YL. [Dave:] I really appreciate the responses on this. The thing is, I’m not sure I should say anything even though I really disapprove of what it seems to me I recall this company represents. You notice my memory isn’t even that clear about the whole thing. To have my druthers I’d just as soon not get involved, but I don’t feel right about being silent while someone basically perpetrates a scam. The particular list I’m talking about is one that’s all about finding novel uses for basic materials, in order to simplify life and save money. They’re all about the many uses for WD-40 and dryer sheets, and of course I’m there because lots of good hints get dropped. From time to time the conversation turns to things like aromatherapy or making lotions or soap, and statements get made about essential oils in particular that I feel I have to counter. Generally my remarks have passed without stirring up controversy or anyone crying that they felt attacked, and that’s as it should be. Just so the information is there. But to me this seems different. This is someone’s business, and as much as I disapprove of YL from what I’ve heard, I’m not sure I really have a right to say very much. It’s a bit of a dilemma, as you can see. -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.16.12/628 - Release 1/15/2007 11:04 AM -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.16.12/628 - Release 1/15/2007 11:04 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Dave, You dont need to bad mouth anyone just give people all the facts and let them decide for themselves. Wouldnt you want to be totally informed (correctly) about something before making a decision, especially if it involves someone's health.. I would! After all people are looking to others for help with health issues, dont they deserve to know all the correct info?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Dave, why don't you just make the suggestion that you have some information passed on to you about Young Living that maybe others need to be aware of and direct them to the various websites people have suggested. As someone who knows very little about essential oils and all the wonderful things people here do with making their own soaps, lotions, etc. I know that most of my initial exposure to eo's was through random aromatherapy websites. I joined this group to get a more clear, accurate understanding of things so that I wouldn't be trading my commercial brands of conventional cleaners and personal care items for things I thought were just natural, safe alternatives only to end up harming myself or my family because I was getting bad info. Too many people jump on the bandwagon and never bother getting informed and learning. It sounds good and so they take it happily-ignorance is bliss. I prefer understanding how things work and why and if you give people the information, you've done your best-what they do with it is up to them.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 If you feel like you're " selling " aromatherapy safety then you probably are! Sherri's right....just give the facts! This applies to a lot of beliefs and choices we make/share.
