SALT LAKE CITY—April 10, 2012—Young Living essential oils play a key role in an exciting new partnership between Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation, the Kent State College of Nursing, the Nursing Self-Care Consortium Schools of Cleveland State University, and the Ursuline College Breen School of Nursing. Urban Zen faculty members are training the schools’ nursing students in integrative therapy modalities, which include essential oils, as part of the “Care for the Caregiver” program.
Essential oil therapy is a vital component of Urban Zen’s Integrative Therapy (UZIT) Program, along with therapeutic yoga, Reiki, nutritional instruction, and contemplative care. UZIT is designed to complement traditional medical techniques and offers substantial benefits to both the recipient and the caregiver. Pure Young Living essential oils such as lavender and peppermint are used topically and in an aromatherapeutic manner in UZIT. More on Young Living Essential Oils Used in Kent State Nursing Program

How would you feel if your guts became a pesticide factory producing poisons uncontrollably?
That's a very real possibility, if not already a reality, for those that eat genetically modified corn (which is most of the non-organic corn in this country), and many other genetically engineered foods.
Mike Adams reports on a recent study from Sept 20, 2011, Cell Research and other publications, that shows the mechanism by which GMOs (genetically modified or genetically engineered) foods alter your organ function. In the past, Monsanto has said that genetically modified foods are presumed to be safe and no safety studies are needed. This study provides biological and genetic truth that GM foods alter the body in frightening ways.
There is no doubt that frankincense is an amazing essential oil with tremendous healing properties… IF it is of the highest quality and purity. That's the key – getting the highest quality and purity.
There are many companies who want to capitalize on the reputation of frankincense oil while compromising the quality and purity. Some of them will stop at nothing to confuse, misdirect and misguide prospective customers… and say anything to get the sale, even if it flies in the face of proven research and the expertise of authorities.
Unfortunately, there always seems to be those who are taken in by lies and fabrications without ever checking things out. To make it easier to separate fact from fiction, Young Living has put together a video explaining the whole story. But first, let me explain a few things…
Many people are concerned about their cats ingesting poison. Essential oils are not exactly poison to a cat – cats just don't have the liver enzymes to digest or process them.
Sometimes a cat can have an intense reaction to essential oils. It usually manifests by the cat getting agitated, having difficulty breathing, acting strange. If the oil was a strong one or that cat ingested a lot of it, the cat can progress to more severe symptoms and even die. More on What To Do If Your Cat Has Ingested Poison
The pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumulation in the body. It can contain a level of fluoride capable of inhibiting enzymes and cause a wide range of health issues.
Animal studies of pineal function indicate that fluoride exposure results in altered melatonin production and altered timing of sexual maturity. Whether fluoride affects pineal function in humans remains to be demonstrated. The two studies of menarcheal age in humans show the possibility of earlier menarche in some individuals exposed to fluoride, but no definitive statement can be made. Recent information on the role of the pineal organ in humans suggests that any agent that affects pineal function could affect human health in a variety of ways, including effects on sexual maturation, calcium metabolism, parathyroid function, postmenopausal osteoporosis, cancer, and psychiatric disease."
The public has recently become aware of "Pink Slime" in ground meat thanks to celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who exposed the practice of processing waste meats and adding it to hamburger an meat products. The mixture is known in the meat industry as "Lean Finely Textured Beef and is referred to as 'Pink Slime.' Jamie Oliver video (second video on page)
It is made up of bits of scrap meat and muscle salvaged from slaughterhouse floors that are treated with ammonium hydroxide, a pink chemical, to kill pathogens. These parts are more susceptible to contamination by high levels of feces and germs (especially salmonella and E. coli) and were previously considered unfit for human consumption. They were reserved for dog and cat food. More on Pink Slime Outrage Grows
While I am encouraging you to get a colonoscopy and get screened for polyps and other possible issues in the colon, there is one thing you may want to question your doctor about – and that is how clean are the hospital instruments he will be using.
While technology has brought us many advances, it has also caused many unforeseeable problems. When it comes to surgery, surgical instruments that are nearly impossible to clean are one of those unforeseeable… and dangerous problems.
We're nearly half way through March and I just realized I haven't commented on March being National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Last week I mentioned that I am not big on cancer fund raisers, but prevention is a different matter.
The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported that colorectal cancer was reduced by 53 percent in patients who had colonoscopies and had their polyps removed. Polyps are considered precancerous growths and if not removed, can lead to cancer.
If polyps are removed early enough, no other treatment is necessary. Simply monitoring the colon and having regular colonoscopies is all that is needed to prevent cancer.
Forty-two years ago, Dr. Myron Brin showed that even slight nutrient deficiencies cause problems in the body, such as slow brain function, insomnia, irritability, and nightmares. Today, we know that essential nutrient deficiency is a key contributor in the massive inflammation epidemic that lies at the root of all our major health problems.
The Root Of The Problem
When essential nutrients run low, inflammation goes unchecked, damaging cells, tissues, and eventually whole organs and systems. This condition is called chronic systemic inflammation. Research links all of the top killers, even rapid aging, to this condition.
Last night a friend of mine send out a newsletter about Seinfeld Actor Daniel von Bargen's suicide attempt due to diabetes. It seems von Bargen couldn't face going to the hospital that day to have his toes amputated, already having had a leg amputated.
Von Bargen called 911 after shooting himself telling the operator, “I’ve shot myself and I need help.”
Authorities were dispatched to the actor’s Cincinnati apartment within minutes after the call was placed. Bargen was transported to a nearby hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
This news hit my friend very hard as he also has diabetes… and he has experienced his leg going numb. He is already trying to raise awareness for diabetes and he is planning on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for The American Diabetes Association this June.

Melanie Simon Interview: Hollywood Esthetician Loves Young Living
Melanie Simon is taking the antiaging industry by storm. This “Esthetician to the Stars” and über successful business owner was recently featured in The New York Times Style Magazine for her innovative and natural treatments that leave her clients aglow with beautiful skin.
One of Melanie’s not-so-quiet secrets?
She loves Young Living.
Melanie sat down with the Essential Edge News staff and talked about Gary Young, why she uses Young Living products, her keys to building a great business, and why antiaging is about more than just cosmetics.
When introduced earlier this fall, Young Living's entire year's supply of Slique Tea sold out in two weeks! Women all around the country have been impatiently waiting for it since then. Finally, their hopes are answered.
Slique Tea is a new way to lose weight! Its an exotic tea from Young Living formulated with natural ingredients to help support individual weight goals.*
The Slique Tea blend is loaded with flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. It also contains polyphenols, which may be useful as part of a guilt-free weight-management regimen when combined with a healthy diet and physical activity.
But the thing that makes Slique Tea most unique is that it is enhanced with 100% pure therapeutic grade Arabian frankincense powder. Frankincense powder is extremely hard to get. In fact, only Young Living can get it as it is exclusively sourced from Young Living’s distillery in Salalah, Oman. You won't find quality frankincense powder in other copy-cat formulations (which are soon to follow).
Sit down and steep a cup of Slique Tea today. Enjoy the rich fragrance and aroma… while your body slims down! It's a great way to start the New Year!
