Brooke - Any ideas for Blood Clots?  My dear friend is STILL in the hospital!  Been three weeks now and still can't get things stabilized.  Now they fear for blood clots - which seems so weird because she's been on SO much heparin and other blood thinners?  I don't know if anything can help - but I guess it's worth a try to ask! Love and Thanks!

Pat - If she already had blood clots then there are oils that could be applied topically and also internally. The difficult part would be to administer them to her while in the hospital. Not even so much that the medical professionals taking care of her might object, but that if they knew she was using the oils (hard to hide the aroma), and something happened to her they could blame it on the oils. Mainly because they do not understand this modality. Also you want to dissolve the blood clot not break it up, so caution in vital. Prayer always works wonders when other man made options are not working.

Brooke - I agree.  They aren't using the oils in the hospital because of that very thing. Although, I wish they were at least using the On-Guard to help build her immune system.  I was more wondering about when she comes home....(hopefully in 2 more weeks).   The longer she stays there - the harder it is for her.  And they don't have any answers so it is extremely frustrating for her - emotionally and physically!  I'm looking forward to going and visiting her when I come for convention - since she is in SLC - and we're in Idaho. We just keep praying she comes home to her hubby and kids soon!

Denise - What has your experience been with talking to the hospital staff about what you're wanting to do? Is it hit or miss depending on the staff, and they blame the oils if anything else goes wrong?

Are they open to the suggestion and interested in what you're doing? Or do they nix the idea and not let you touch the patient? Thanks.

Jan - My goodness - what a challenging time for your friend and her family! Your thought about OnGuard seems REALLY good. So if nothing else, she could probably be taking OnGuard Throat Drops. I'd suggest combining those with intention and visualization that in addition to the oils OnGuard oils, each drop is carrying the energetic essence of the other oils and thereby helping all parts of her system.

Tamalu - I read something in this thread that really disturbs me.  doTERRA is working with the medical community.  There is no "us" and 'Them".  My experience has been that if the patient requests me to come into the hospital to visit and assist as I can, and I go in with the confidence of a guest coming to comfort a friend, I am welcomed by all.  I do not go in with arrogance or the attitude of "they're going to blame the oils if there is a problem".  My intention behind going in is to bless my friend, and it is none of my business what the hospital staff thinks of me.  As a result, I have been welcomed in several hospitals, and the doctors and staff have been very open to me doing "whatever" I do.  They see the results.  But I approach the matter from the perspective of being a friend, and do not make claims outside of relaxation and comfort.  When I have been asked by the doctors for more information, I understand that what they want is documentation, which we have and they deserve.  That is how they think, and how they keep themselves from lawsuits.  Not because they are looking for a tree to hang someone on. More often than not, the doctor prefers not to know what happened, and is grateful to see things change.

If your friend is in pain, and worried about a blood clot, offer to gently apply some Helichrysum, Cypress and Deep Blue (or your choice-- you know what to use).  Explain that your touch by itself can offer comfort from the pain.

And finally, I think often of the story of Esther.  She broke the law and went unbidden before the king.  But she prepared herself first and did not go alone.  She took the spirit of truth and love with her, left no room for doubt or worst-case scenarios, and saved a nation.  What are you doing to prepare?
