Weight Loss Testimonial: Once a Size 12, Now a Size 6

One of the most amazing things to read, for me, are the testimonials of other essential oil users. This one is about a woman who lost weight using grapefruit oil in her drinking water. Scientific studies are linked to support the effects, so take a look and do your own research if your interested in the effects of d-limonene.

I, Ayse Zencir, have been using essential oils for a year now. I fell in love with them. My best personal testimony is my weight loss.

I used to drink grapefruit-oiled water every day, 7 drops in 8 cups of water. Now my size is 5-6. I used to wear size 10-12. Let me inform you of my recipe: I add 7 drops of Grapefruit essential oil into 2 liters of water and shake it very well. One or two hours before every meal, I drink 2-3 cups of the grapefruit-oiled water. All day I drink only this oiled water.

In a month you may feel the results, but you may not see any weight change until after 2 months. Keep trying! Everybody has a different body. Some of you may need to run to the toilet, and some may be constipated. It may vary person to person.

You may feel dizzy or have rapid heartbeats or a headache, so it is good to start with 1-2 drops each day for the first week.

Note: Grapefruit juice has been known to interact with some medications, especially hormonal medications. Grapefruit essential oil is extracted from the grapefruit peel. I have been unable to find any documented cases of interactions with Grapefruit essential oil. Still check for contraindications with your current medications and consult with your doctor before proceeding.

Supporting Scientific Studies
1.	"As proven in vitro, essential oils [Eucalyptus, Melaleuca Alternifolia, Thyme, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Cinnamon, Grapefruit, Clove, Sandalwood, Peppermint, Sage (includes all components of Thieves blend)] represent a cheap and effective antiseptic topical treatment option even for antibiotic-resistant strains as MRSA and antimycotic-resistant Candida species."	Link
2.	"We found that d-limonene [in citrus oils] activated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha signaling, and inhibited liver X receptor (LXR)-beta signaling. Our data suggest that the intake of d-limonene may benefit patients with dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia and is a potential dietary supplement for preventing andameliorating metabolic disorders."	Link
3.	"D-limonene is one of the most common terpenes in nature. It is a major constituent in several citrus oils.... Being a solvent of cholesterol, d-limonene has been used clinically to dissolve cholesterol-containing gallstones. Because of its gastric acid neutralizing effect and its support of normal peristalsis, it has also been used for relief of heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). D-limonene has well-established chemopreventive activity against many types of cancer. Evidence from a phase I clinical trial demonstrated a partial response in a patient with breast cancer and stable disease for more than six months in three patients with colorectal cancer."

Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say:

Peppermint Oil:
"My husband had I just wanted to share about our latest oil success!

We live on a farm, so bugs and spiders of all sorts live among us in abundance. One particular pesky problem was getting just too gross, and something had to be done! Everyday when we would walk out to the mailbox and open up the front, it would be crawling with earwigs! We would sweep them out everyday with a little broom and send them flying, but they were just too happy in there, and told all their friends and family to come and live in this mailbox!

With summer upon us, there have been lots of postings about those great essential oils that work so well on insects, etc. I don't know why it took me so long to make the connection, but I remembered about that great oil, Peppermint, and promptly put two drops in the back of the box and shut the door.

It's now been 3 days since the Peppermint oil went in, and there is NO TRACE of not even 1 earwig! It was just too much for the clan, so they just packed up, said "I'm outta here", and went elsewhere, much to our's and the postman's delight!

We're now wondering what some Peppermint water will do when poured down those pesky gopher holes..................
Have a great summer!
- Audrey Miller


Lemon Oil:
"My husband had just painted our front door frame, and I brushed up against it leaving the house. However, I didn't realize the amount of white paint on the back of my black down vest until the office manager pointed it out. The paint had dried by then.
I remembered reading about lemon oil and decided to use it on my vest to remove the oil-based paint. Miraculously all the paint was removed. My husband and I were amazed! I am a firm believer in Essential Oils."
Rosina Yue — Nevada


Peace & Calming:
"Our little Tibetan Terrier slipped and fell into our swimming pool. Her companion terrier barked frantically alerting us. We got her out and began to dry her coat and warm her, as the water was about 40° F. She was trembling uncontrollably from the experience.
After about 45 minutes, she was dry, and warm, but still trembling. The little male terrier was very upset as well. My husband and I were upset by the incident and decided to apply Peace & Calming. We wondered if Peace & Calming would help the dogs. We applied it to the base of their skulls and in about two minutes they were both sleeping peacefully."
Brenda McBride — California


Lavender Oil:
While I was on vacation I walked on "boiling" hot sand at at the beach and I exposed my skin for over several hours. I had acquired blisters on my feet from the hot sand. I rubbed lavendar oil on my feet twice before bed, and spritzed my skin with lavender oil. By the next morning the blisters and the pain was gone! I had no further discomfort."
Debbie Allen, CNHP — Denver, Colorado
Beverlee Jones submitted the following tip:
“My husband is a Jeep tour guide. Often after a really busy day, he continues giving his tour guide speech while he is asleep. I've found that two drops of lavender essential oil on each of his big toes stops the talking immediately. I've also noticed he isn't snoring as much as he used to!”

Thieves and Bergamot:
"I received a puncture wound on my left foot. After three days of applying Thieves and Bergamot, it was well enough to where I was not stepping lightly on that foot! I don’t know how deep the puncture was, but it was bad enough to bleed well and make a swelled lump inch around it. I work as a machinist and am on my feet all day. Thank God for the natural oils that you make!"
Michael Morris —Arkansas

Ultra Young:
"I started using the Ultra Young about 5 weeks ago. So far I have heard comments like "less wrinkles," "younger looking," "fuller head of hair," "loosing weight," "great skin," all from people asking me what I was doing different. I have seen for myself firmer muscles, much more energy and the need for about 2.5 hours less sleep a night. I can run on full steam from eyes open to eyes shut with little or no fatigue. The funny thing is I know my liver is not as clean as it should be right now, so I am excited to see what will happen when I completely detoxify and the Ultra Young is getting totally used by my body."
Pam Williams — Texas

Sulfurzyme, Power Meal, and Ultra Young:
"The first information I sought was how to handle fatigue. I read about Sulfurzyme, Power Meal,Ultra Young, and several of the oils. I decided to get started. I put lavender on my feet the first night and it worked like a charm. I started talking Sulfurzymeand spraying Ultra Young and I began to notice the cobwebs in my mind clearing out about five days after my first use."
Debra Bouziden — Oklahoma

Motivationand Abundance:
"Three weeks ago I started inhaling Young Living Essential Motivation Oil and Young Living EssentialAbundance Oil. After dragging my feet for the last three years about calling people and really wanted to work my networking business. Now I am happily passing out flyers in park and ride lots, writing letters to my associates, calling people, doing two to three presentations per week, and I am feeling determined to make this business work! I feel strongly that the Young Living Essential Motivation Oil has made the big difference in my attitude. I am not passive anymore. Yeah!"
Phyllis Franks — Washington

Lavender Shampoo:
"My husband underwent radiation treatments in 1991. His hair fell out and his beard began growing sparsely during those treatments and never fully recovered. Since using the Young Living Lavender Shampoo his hair has begun growing again, without any gray in it." - Cathi Dillard — Oregon

"As a chiropractor, I believe that the dramatic results of Raindrop Technique are enough for me to rewrite the books on scoliosis. As we continue to unravel the science of how oils influence the body and spine, we will rewrite the present mechanical science of neurology. In its place will be a complete system that blends the nervous system, immune system, emotions, and structure of the body." Ken Krieger, D.C.
