Dear Stephen,
I would be very interested in hearing your take on Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) and their use for lyme. Some with lyme have used them with positive results (although myself not extensively, but I do know the raindrop detox massage with specific sequence of oils works very well!), others argue that YLEO is a pyramid scheme and that Gary Young is a quack. A friend of mine who’s a YLEO practitioner and massage therapist avows that a client of hers went on a customized YLEO protocol for lyme and was able to clear herself of lyme disease. For instance, there is an essential oil combination that one can take internally that apparently acts like an antibiotic: oregano, mountain savory, and lemon. This, in combination with other internally taken YLEO products, plus weekly raindrop massage sessions apparently did the trick. I haven’t invested a lot in this, as I’m committed to taking the Buhner and Zhang herbal protocols, and I’m also taking two antibiotics – but would very much appreciate your candid and reliable judgment on this.

Stephen’s response:
There are many things that work for lyme, there is NO “one way fits all” approach. In general, if you get better, it works for you, if not, it didn’t. The main thing that tends to raise my BS detector is if the protocol is ONLY available through one person and that person makes a lot of money off it. It violates my personal ethics, nevertheless, there are many, many things that do help people with lyme.

Thats because you can go at it too aggressively! Pure grade essential oils are very powerful medicines. Absolutely no one should hammer at it so hard! Slow and low is the best way to start. All auto-immune and chronic illnesses can have Herkimer effect when treatments commence!
And FYI- within the Young Living community of sales people, we absolutely do not horde treatments! The whole point of what we do is to share toxin free and natural options with EVERYONE! Gary Young comes from Big Sur, the OG of natural healers. Anyone who thinks he is a quack only uses media as their judge and doesn’t understand what the entire natural healing community puts up with as far as being taken seriously. Its a huge issue for those of us needing serious help with chronic health issues that doctors just want to throw pharmaceuticals at!
Martha, YL has a blend called Thieves that saves my family and friends from the crud and its symptoms. Its a preventative as well as a cure for some of the symptoms once you get the crud, like sore throat, etc. If you Google the ingredients you can mimic the blend or just buy it. I only trust 3 brands of oils after having them tested myself for purity.
I used to use any and all oils including DoTerra and Young Living. I need to know I’m not getting the lower grade oils sold to after market companies and so far YL is the only one you can actually visit the farms and observe/participate in the process.
Raindrop is amazing. On YouTube
