Experiences and Testimonials of others

Dany - I'm very new to essential oils but I have a good friend that has Mono.  She always has a sore throat and like the permanent flu.  Is there an oil that might help her?

Rob - A while back Janella mentioned three effective antibiotic blends. They were:

Antibiotic 1        
     OnGuard (12 drops)        
     Oregano (6 drops)        
     Frankincense (2 drops)

Antibiotic 2        
     Melaleuca (10 drops)        
     Lemongrass (10 drops)        
     Thyme (5 drops)        
     Cinnamon (5 drops)   

Antibiotic 3        
     Cinnamon (10 drops)        
     Oregano (10 drops)        
     Lemon (10 drops)        
     Frankincense (2 drops)

I would suggest that you make your friend gel capsules with any of these three blends in them.  I have only tried the first one, but with success.  Take 3 per day with meals, till her throat is not irritated any more, then continue for 2 more days at least twice per day.

She could also do a gargle with OnGuard or oregano and Lemon in water.  The oregano will be hot, but if she can take it for 30 seconds, and do it every hour or two, it might expedite healing.

 

Rob - Archived information on Mononucleosus.

Mononucleosis or Mono is caused by the "Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)" where as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is not caused by a virus.  There is a blood test for Mono called a "MonoSpot", but there are no tests to diagnose Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  Unfortunately, no one truly knows much about CFS nor how to truly treat it.  Mono is a very debilitating illness with can last anywhere from weeks to months.  I am very familiar with this as I had had Mono in the summer before my Senior year in high school.  I was ill for three months and when I returned to school, my activities were restricted for another 6 months.  Now, there is some thought that people who have had Mono can possibly be prone to CFS later in life. So far, that has not happened to me!  Many of the information that Dr. Hill has shared with us can be used for either of these conditions. With CFS, it is extremely important for emotional support to be used to help aleviate the stress, depression, etc that tends to come with CFS.  Mono does have to be watched and treated very carefully as it can enlarge the Spleen.  This is one of the reasons for extreme bedrest and limited physical activities.  Sometimes corticosteroids may have to be used in extreme Mono cases.  In my case, I was lucky that my grandmother's personal physician believed very highly in holistic methods, so I was treated with various herbs, high doses of vitamin C and Iron.  Another frustrating thing about CFS is that many other health problems that involve extreme tiredness, joint pain, muscle pain, headaches, and so on, are classified as CFS when it truly is not.  But, of course in light of those types of symptoms, we are very lucky to have the benefits of healing from doTERRA!!

 

Rob – I would do these things:

1) Gargle Frank and Oregano with water or oil carrier 2-3 times per day.

2) Put in capsules - OnGuard (3), Frankincense(3), Oregano(2), Lemongrass(2) and coconut oil and take 3 times per day with a meal.

3) Do lymphatic massage with citrus oils ie. Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, Citrus Bliss morning and night.

4) Put Breathe on chest at night.

5) Diffuse Breath and Purification at night while sleeping. (alternate)

6) Do a straight shot (2 drops) or juice/water diluted shot of OnGuard for sever throat soreness.

Give it a couple weeks.  Mono is a nasty virus and takes some persistence. 

 

Julie - My son is struggling with Mononucleosis.  We are using frankincense, oregano, and On Guard for him as well as spinal treatments using oils that he chooses (usually a combo of frankincense, oregano, and sometimes myrrh or another one that he likes).  I am also starting him on a restricted diet.
