Toxins and Chemicals to Avoid

One of the reasons I started using Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and Personal Care Products was because I found out about the huge amount of harmful chemicals that fill each and every personal care product and household cleaner on the market today! These chemicals cause a chain of reaction in your body which lead to all sorts of problems including the development of cancer. Education is the key to making a healthier choice and you can rest assured that all of our products from essential oils to nutritional supplements, household cleaner and personal care products only contain life-affirming ingredients! Did you know that only 2% of all essential oils produced in the world are free of chemicals and synthetics?

Every day we inhale, touch, apply and taste harmful chemicals and toxins! Synthetic ingredients are in virtually every item in your home from cleaning solutions and personal care products to food additives and ingredients that are unpronounceable. Like most people, you probably brush your teeth every day and use shampoo, conditioner and soap when you shower. If you are a female, you probably apply moisturizing lotion to your face and body, apply cosmetics and perfume and if you are older, dye your hair. Most people do not even look at the ingredients in each of these items but you should know that most of them are harmful to your health and the environment.

In 1998, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report that created considerable concern to the public as well as the cosmetics and personal care industries. The two-year study revealed clear evidence that a common cosmetics ingredient called diethanolamine or DEA had carcinogenic or cancer-causing activity when applied to the skin. DEA is found in products such as shampoos, conditioners, lotions, sunscreens, soaps and cosmetics. As with all substances applied to the skin, they are easily absorbed and accumulate in the organs which can lead to toxic build-up and disease.

The most common toxic chemicals to avoid are DEA (a lathering agent), Propylene glycol (used in antifreeze, paints, floor wax... and is also in pet food!) or Propanediol, Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS and SLES - a surfactant used in industrial products like concrete floor cleaner and engine degreaser!), Talc (chemically similar to asbestos!), Alcohol (Australian researchers published in 2009 issue of Dental Journal of Australia noted that alcohol-containing mouthwashes contribute to the increased risk of development of oral cancer) and Aluminum. A full list is presented below. DEA is just one of an estimated 125 ingredients formulated into our home and personal care products suspected of being potentially dangerous or hazardous to our health. This claim is supported by a 2008 study of teenage girls by the Environmental Working Group which found cancer-causing chemicals from cosmetics in every blood and urine sample tested. More than 16 chemicals from four major groups: phthalates, tricosan, parabens and musks were identified including chemicals linked to hormone disruption. The teens also admitted to using an average of 17 cosmetic products a day!

Industrial Chemicals Can Damage Children
By: Psych Central News Editor on Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006 | Reviewed by: John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006


A new study finds fetal and early childhood exposures to industrial chemicals in the environment can damage the developing brain and can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs)—autism, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), and mental retardation. The authors conclude further that the toxic effects of industrial chemicals on children have generally been overlooked.

The Chemical OnslaughtResearchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine systematically examined publicly available data on chemical toxicity. They found 202 industrial chemicals have the capacity to damage the human brain, and concluded that chemical pollution may have harmed the brains of millions of children worldwide.

However, despite the knowledge that chemicals can place children at harm, there has been insufficient research to identify the individual chemicals that can cause injury to the developing brains of children.

The study is published in The Lancet.

To protect children against industrial chemicals that can injure the developing brain, the researchers urge a precautionary approach for chemical testing and control. Such an approach is beginning to be applied in the European Union. It puts in place strong regulations, which could later be relaxed, if the hazard were less than anticipated, instead of current regulations that require a high level of proof. At present in the U.S., requirements for toxicity testing of chemicals are minimal.

"The human brain is a precious and vulnerable organ. And because optimal brain function depends on the integrity of the organ, even limited damage may have serious consequences," says Philippe Grandjean, adjunct professor at Harvard School of Public Health and the study's lead author.

One out of every six children has a developmental disability, usually involving the nervous system. Treating NDDs is difficult and costly to both families and society. In recent decades, a gathering amount of evidence has linked industrial chemicals to NDDs. Lead, for example, was the first chemical identified as having toxic effects to early brain development, though its neurotoxicity to adults had been known for centuries.

A developing brain is much more susceptible to the toxic effects of chemicals than an adult brain. During development, the brain undergoes a highly complex series of processes at different stages. An interference—for example, from toxic substances—that disrupts those processes, can have permanent consequences. That vulnerability lasts from fetal development through infancy and childhood to adolescence. Research has shown that environmental toxicants, such as lead or mercury, at low levels of exposure can have subclinical effects—not clinically visible, but still important adverse effects, such as decreases in intelligence or changes in behavior.

Grandjean and co-author Philip J. Landrigan, Professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, compiled a list of 202 environmental chemicals known to be toxic to the human brain using the Hazardous Substances Data Bank of the National Library of Medicine and other data sources. (The authors note that the list should not be regarded as comprehensive; for example, the number of chemicals that can cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animal tests exceeds 1,000.)

The authors then examined the published literature on the only five substances on the list—lead, methylmercury, arsenic, PCBs and toluene—that had sufficient documentation of toxicity to the developing human brain in order to analyze how that toxicity had been first recognized and how it led to control of exposure. They found a similar pattern in how the risks of each substance were documented: first, a recognition of adult toxicity and episodes of poisoning among children, followed by a growing body of epidemiological evidence that exposure to lower levels of the substances caused neurobehavioral deficits in children.

"Even if substantial documentation on their toxicity is available, most chemicals are not regulated to protect the developing brain, "says Grandjean. "Only a few substances, such as lead and mercury, are controlled with the purpose of protecting children. The 200 other chemicals that are known to be toxic to the human brain are not regulated to prevent adverse effects on the fetus or a small child."

Grandjean and Landrigan conclude that industrial chemicals are responsible for what they call a silent pandemic that has caused impaired brain development in millions of children worldwide. It is silent because the subclinical effects of individual toxic chemicals are not apparent in available health statistics. To point out the subclinical risk to large populations, the authors note that virtually all children born in industrialized countries between 1960 and 1980 were exposed to lead from petrol, which may have reduced IQ scores above 130 (considered superior intelligence) by more than half and increased the number of scores less than 70. Today, it's estimated that the economic costs of lead poisoning in U.S. children are $43 billion annually; for methylmercury toxicity, $8.7 billion each year.

Brain Power eliminates Brain Fog "Other harmful consequences from lead exposure include shortened attention spans, slowed motor coordination and heightened aggressiveness, which can lead to problems in school and diminished economic productivity as an adult. And the consequences of childhood neurotoxicant exposure later in life may include increased risk of Parkinson's disease and other neurogenerative diseases," says Landrigan.

The researchers believe that the total impact of the pandemic is much greater than currently recognized. In supplementary documentation (see below for a link), about half of the 202 chemicals known to be toxic to the brain are among the chemicals most commonly used.

Testing chemicals for toxicity is a highly efficient public health measure. However, less than half of the thousands of chemicals currently used in commerce have been tested to assess acute toxicity and, although new chemicals undergo more thorough testing, access to the data may be restricted because companies fear exposing proprietary information. Also, current toxicity testing rarely includes neurobehavioral functions.

"The brains of our children are our most precious economic resource, and we haven't recognized how vulnerable they are," says Grandjean. "We must make protection of the young brain a paramount goal of public health protection. You have only one chance to develop a brain."

The Healthy Choice — YLTG Essential Oils

Taking Essential Oils Internally
Now these oils, as I mentioned, are generally regarded as safe by the FDA for internal use, and I share this with you here for this reason. What would happen if you were taking essential oils internally? You are oxygenating every cell in the human body and you are increasing the protection against DNA breakdown. One of the things that we do know is that petrochemicals, radiation cause DNA breakdown and prevent (in some cases) the repair of DNA.

This is a two-hour presentation just on this alone, so I have gone through it really quickly so you can see the numbers a little bit, but what I want to leave you with is this: That when you put an essential oil on your skin topically, it goes through the derma layer, through the sub-derma shield into the interstitial fluids of the body. You don't always have to take it internally to create the same desired results.

ART Skin Care — A "Green" Product
We see that in our skin care products. We just created a brand new skin care line called ART, and you can talk with the folks down at the booth, and I don't have time to go into that today, but they can show you the research and the scientific background, but its the first skin care product on the market in the world today that is strictly a "green" product. With these essential oils in it (that is reversing aging on the skin) and that's without question. So we are pretty excited about that!

Share Nature's Healing and Become a Distributor!Natural Products Have No Toxicity
Different oils have different effects on the DNA repair and RNA. The effects of the oils and the liposomes are often dose-dependent. It is possible with the oils at high concentration are causes of pseudo toxicity. This here is very interesting and I want you to pay close attention here for the simple reason that there have been literatures published and coming out of some universities claiming the essential oils have toxicity levels. They are claiming this because they are studying man-made chemical molecules and they are taking a chemical phenol, and they say, "Well, this is toxic, so don't use essential oil that has those phenols in it." I think most of you are intelligent enough to know the difference between a man-made chemical and a natural chemical, so you are always going to see some of these things show up.

I found this very exciting, the support from the American Botanical Council to give us this support in relationship to the research and the work that we are doing with essential oils along with Dr. Jamie Matte.

Reversing the Aging Process
Now, if you can repair DNA, what else is going to happen in your body? What else is possible to happen in your body? If you can repair it topically (which we have photos of volunteers that have shown after six weeks of using the ART Skin Care of how it has reversed the aging process on the face – totally chemical-free, no surgical intervention whatsoever, and removing age lines that have been there for 20 years. If it can do that on the skin, what can it do internally? The same thing, absolutely!

It's just like lifting a weight and strengthening your muscle. If you lift weights and you strengthen external muscles, you cannot help but strengthen internal muscles. Does that make sense? So if you are working out in the gym and exercising, are you only going to make the heart and the lungs and the liver and everything else better? Of course, it's the same thing.

Constant Bombardment with Chemicals
So I am here to just share with you, if you take a look at the situation that we're in in our environment where we are at constant bombardment with the chemicals in our atmosphere and the radioactive isotopes that are in the air we are breathing that you can't even see and thousands of other compounds that are being released out there from the industrial world and other things, but when your body is under constant bombardment 27/4 it's breaking it down. What are you doing to prevent it and what are you doing to build it up and give it the support that you need?

Many products that I have created contain essential oils and this is the one I want to show you here. This is an oil blend that I made because this morning I showed a little bit about vaccinations, and knowing that there are a lot of people and a lot of you in this room who are adults today who were vaccinated as children.

Testing Procedure Shows Amazing Results
How many are here that are war veterans? No war veterans? They all died. Anyone who has been in the military or who has worked in government service has been vaccinated, even if it didn't happen when you were a child. It's a major problem. I wanted to develop a product where we could get this mercury and these poisons (chemicals) out of our body, so we did the perimeters of a study testing procedure for six-hour urine, collection repeated at 48-hour intervals, and we did a post baseline urine toxic of metals.

The participants were void of supplementations; we did post-line base studies on each participant. The product that we used is called JuvaCleanse™, and it was two 00 capsules per day. We had three patients who participated in this–a 52 year-old male, a 51 year-old female, and a 55 yearold male. The first thing that we studied was arsenic. We started administering, we did the baseline and found out where the baseline levels were of arsenic in these three patients, and then we administered the JuvaCleanse oil capsule for 48 hours, and we see the doses.

This one went from 14 to 17; this one actually dropped to 9.4, so we thought, "Wow, we are gaining!"It went back up In the 48 hours. This one continued to climb and so did this one. This is the volume of arsenic that was being pulled of their blood from the utilization of JuvaCleanse™.

JuvaCleanse™ has Dramatic Effects on Mercury
And we went into mercury and look at this: This person showed no mercury; this one had very little mercury when we started right here. On their first 48 hour collection, look at the level of mercury that went up here. This one had high levels of mercury when they came in the Clinic, and in 96 hours of JuvaCleanse™ their mercury levels went from 3.8. to 0. now. This patient was very excited; this patient's mercury levels kept going up – so what did that tell him? He says, "I came in and I didn't have any mercury, now I have mercury." This was very interesting and this is why: I've seen patients go and have hair analysis and come back with their hair analysis report saying, "I don't have any mercury or I don’t have any lead, or I don't have any arsenic."

You cannot depend strictly on a hair analysis for determining whether or not you have metals. You need to do the hair analysis, plus you need to do at 48-hour intervals a urine collection analysis in the laboratory to see if you are excreting heavy metals, and then go on the JuvaCleanse™. Those oils happen to be celery seed oil, helichrysum oil, and ledum oil, which comes from Quebec.

Studies with Lead Lead; here we go. Look at this patient again at 2.6, and then his tissues started released after the first 48 hours, and this is what's really significant because it depends on how much of that is encased in fat cells, how much of it is incubated in other cells in the body and how quickly the body starts releasing it. This patient started releasing and it went up very, very quickly. The number two patient released, and then it dropped off.

Does this mean there's a phase there where the body has to break it down and release it? Absolutely! So the only way that we're going to know, "Did we clear this?" is as we are doing now, back into the second phase. This was the first phase, just to test the formulation to see if it was effectively pulling these heavy metals out of the body.

IV Chelation Comparison
I have treated in the past (and not going on 25 years) of doing EDTA intravenously. I could not get these results with intravenous chelation, not this good and not this fast. But essential oils dissolve it and dispatch it into the fluids of the body to be carried out, and it's very, very exciting!

Tin – we only one patient that showed levels of tin and we were very effective in pulling those levels down in 96 hours. Naturally, that patient was very excited!

Nickel – there were zero nickel showing until we started chelating and the cells started opening up and releasing this metal out, so those are the things that are very interesting.

Oncologist’s Quote: "Right now, in the short run, we can bring an occasional miracle." That was a quote from an oncologist at Stanford University that was basically saying that we really cannot bring about a change and that people should give up the hope, thinking that there will be a cure for cancer. With their system, that is true. I think you'll get a chuckle out of this one: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Is that more true than not!

Folks, this is something I really hope you take to heart, and that's what we have today. I believe that the healing of any disease, including depression, must be based on respect for ourselves as children of God whose spirits and bodies are intrinsically interwoven. Disease is a disruption of a delicate biological balance and healing must come counting potions that help to mold our spiritual and physical self to get well, from within as well as from without.

Essential Oils Help in Every Facet of Life
There is not a single thing you do or experience in life that the oils are not there to enhance and strengthen, to empower, to help take you to where you desire to be in life in so many ways. I used to talk about oils being a medicine and working like a medicine. I have changed that philosophy the last several years as I have watched them modulate hormones, modulate the immune system, increase nutritional intake, and increase protein absorption in the cell through the blood work and then seeing it physically manifest.

The essential oils are truly God's gift to mankind as a medicine and as food for physical, emotional, and spiritual. Do not be without them, no matter where you go in life. Take this and share it with the world and let's make this world a better place for tomorrow. Thank you! — Gary Young from Training CD #78: "The Most Amazing Results of Clinical and University Research on Essential Oils" 2005
