Going Natural!

my medicine cabinet

Saying NO to Big Pharma
Six months ago I left a job of 9 years for a move up the ladder and a move from a rural community to a big city. Two months later I started having serious health issues. The stress of traffic every day, the stress of the job which I do love - it's just a lot of pressure the way a leadership role is, and the stress of having my oldest son go off to college caught up with me. I ended up in the hospital at 10am on a Friday morning with blood pressure that was sky high.

The doctors discharged me with Lisinopril. I took it for 6 weeks then it tried to kill me.

Did you know that drugs ending in "pril" are ticking time bombs for 40% of the population? You can feel fine as I did one morning going into work. From the time it took me to drop something off on the 1st floor and go to my office, I went from feeling great to having HIVES and my tongue was swelling.

Thirty minutes later I was at the hospital again, unable to speak, tears streaming down my face, and waiting for a doctor to OK the Epi-Pen, steroids, Benedryl, and IVs.

I was lucky - went home four hours later. Never to take another blood pressure pill.

Luckily a friend of mine is very knowledgeable about Essential Oils.

This morning my 4 year old woke up crying, congested, couldn't breathe. I put a little olive oil and about 7 drops of R.C. (Respiratory Support Oils) and rubbed his chest - a little by his nose and within minutes he was fine. What I LOVE is that there is nothing in that cabinet that could hurt him. If he got onto a stool and got into something it won't kill him.

I have been able to replace pain meds and blood pressure meds naturally.

You do have to be careful! Many of the oils sold at health food stores, Wal-Mart, or other big stores only have to have 5% of the oil to be considered Therapeutic. They substitute or dilute with alcohol, Jojoba oil, coconut oil, or other substances.
