Sopia and Maggie
I have a very interesting dog with almost human-like characteristics, and did I mention smart. Maggie can be downstairs, and she will know if I have opened the fridge, and am fixing myself a sandwich. Besides meat, she loves vegetables. Her favorites are potato peelings and green peppers. When you throw her a small piece of vegetable, she will catch it mid air before it hits the ground.

The month of July Maggie gets very anxious with all the fireworks going off. Even before the first bang and flash of lights Maggie knows what nights to take cover. It will be 5:00 pm on July 3rd and she will know there will be fireworks later that night.

What happens is she starts to shake and she wants to be held. She looks at you with those eyes that say please help me. I have never seen a dog that likes to be cradled like a baby as much as Maggie does. It’s a pretty funny sight. For the rest of the story Click Here

Aches and Pains a Regular Part of Life

Cassie Fish

The older I get the more I realize aches and pains are a regular part of life. When I was younger I would hear people in their fifties and beyond talk about all their ailments, I thought how bad can it get? Now that I am one of those older people, I get it. Most of the time I am feeling great, however there are times when I feel my age, surprised at all the places you can have a senior moment with pain.

Several years ago Cassie my wife, was expecting our youngest daughter when her knee gave out on her. She was in major pain as a result of pulling a ligament. Ever since this happened, Cassie’s knee has never been the same. Cassie kept her knee wrapped with a knee brace for extra support for quite a while as a result of the injury.

Cassie was able to remove her knee brace after a few months but her knee was never quite the same. One day 3 years ago after a early spring snow storm, Cassie slipped on some ice walking to the parking lot and really messed up her knee.

A few days after Cassie re-injured her knee we were at a (  ) class where we were introduced to essential oils. At the end of the class we were asked if we wanted to get a Zyto Hand Scan with bio feed back capabilities. This is a computer program where a person puts their hand on a extra large mouse like device. When you put your hand on this it sends impulses from the body to the computer to determine how many of 76 bio markers are out of the normal range. The lower the number the more your body is in the normal range.

Melaleuca is Antibacterial

Melaleuca Has Healing Properties

For years I have suffered with canker sores. For all of you who don’t know how painful a canker sore is, this is a pain that doesn’t stop, coming from the depths of your soul. This is a pain that starts out slow and lasts long. In fact canker sores can last up to three weeks. No sooner would one canker sore start to heal, then another one would form. Sometimes I could have as many as three canker sores in my mouth at one time.

Canker sores appear to be brought on by many types of stress, either emotional, physical, or chemical. Emotional stress can be caused by any situation that puts you under pressure. Physical stress might be caused by an abrasion in your mouth, burns from hot foods, or even biting your tongue or cheek. Chemical stress means anything that changes your body chemistry, such as an illness or a change in your eating habits.

There are two things I have found that are very helpful with my canker sores. First I take L-Lysine. This is a very important amino acid that you can find in the vitamin section of the grocery store. The second thing I use is melaleuca essential oil. I rub this oil on my canker sores. It numbs my canker sores. Melaleuca essential oil is a very powerful oil. It is antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-infectious. Since I started using melaleuca essential oil the length of time I have a canker sore is a lot less. Who would have thought the oil in a small bottle would be so effective?

My Challenge to Stay Focused

If any of you know me I have a hard time sitting for long periods of time without getting drowsy or even falling a sleep. As a regular church goer I found myself in this situation most weeks sitting in church. The heart and mind were willing to stay awake and focused, yet the body was weak. I would doze off to sleep often on the hard pew benches.

All through Elementary, Junior High, and High School I struggled with learning partly due to my inability to focus. I also was developmentally behind most kids my age, because it was discovered I couldn’t see very well when I went in for my kindergarten check-up. Most subjects in school were painfully hard for me, and almost unbearable to do school assignments. Homework was also a nightmare for me and my family, becoming an all night project.

Now that I have painted this picture of my inability to focus you might find it interesting to know that I became an Eagle Scout. If it wasn’t  for my sister, Ramona, and my parents I don’t think this accomplishment would have happened. My dad was the scout master, and my mom was great at knowing what I needed to do, My sister was great at helping me with my merit badges.

I went to my first essential oil convention in 2012, and was thrilled when they introduced a new essential oil  blend  used to help you focus. I was so excited to see if this oil really works so I rubbed some on the back of my neck before church, It worked. I stayed a wake.

How I wish I had this oil when I was a struggling young student. Any chance I get now, I like to share this new discovery of essential oils with others. Best of all there are no side effects. ADHD kids may now have a new alternative to powerful drugs with bad side effects. This essential oil is a great new friend for everyone who needs help staying focused.

Head Over Heals About Helichrysum

Essential Oil Information, Personal stories, , , , , , ,

Helichrysum essential oil has a very distinct smell. When I was new to using essential oils, I was like the kid in the candy store seeing what each oil smelled like. I remember going over to Chelsi and James Stevens home where I noticed the Holy Grail of essential oils “the box” a beautiful wooden box with dōTERRA engraved on top. This wonderful symbol of health had every oil dōTERRA makes in one place.

The search was over. No more longing for the day when I could personally experience the scent of dozens of pure essential oils. I eagerly opened each bottle with excitement taking in the aroma of each oil. White pine essential oil smelled just like I was in the mountains, while lemon essential oil smelled like a freshly squeezed lemon just before adding sugar and water for lemonade, while pure peppermint essential oil has a powerful scent.

Helichrysum essential oil is not what I expected. It has a strong odor that grows on you. I am surprised at how powerful the oil from this flower is when used on cuts and scrapes. dōTERRA spares no expense to get the highest quality oils sourced from where they are grown indigenously. Helichrysum is no exception, as it is grown in Corsica, in eastern Europe.

Several months ago I cut my right hand. I forgot about the cut until 4 days later when I cut my left hand in almost the identical same spot. I decided to do an experiment. On my most recent wound (my left hand) I put helichrysum essential oil, the other wound on my right hand I did nothing. After two weeks you could not tell where the wound was on my left hand. The right hand was still scabbed up.

Every time I use essential oils, I am no longer surprised at how quickly and effective essential oils work. I like to remind myself that modern medicine has been around for a relatively short period of time with side effects. Essential oils on the other hand have been around since the beginning of time with no side effects. I will choose natures medicine first over modern medicine every time for healing.
