Add 20 – 24 drops of Tea Tree Oil to washing machine to disinfect laundry (I have a front loader which uses less water, so I use 10-15 drops of oil). This is especially great to use when washing clothing or bedding from someone who has been sick. I use it when washing my cloth diapers. They come out smelling nice and fresh and I can be confident that they have been disinfected without chemicals that harm the baby and shorten the life of the diaper.
I also LOVE using the Deep Cleanser Essential Oil in the laundry instead of the Tea Tree oil. It's a powerful antiseptic and smells lovely. When I add just 5-10 drops of this oil to my diapers they come out smelling fresh. Deep Cleanser is a wonderful mixture of Sage, Ocean Pine, Lemongrass, Juniper Berry, Cypress, Frankincense and other pure essential oils. It's antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, non-toxic, and safe to use around children and pets.
If you use a dryer to dry your clothes, you can also add a few drops of your favorite oil to a facecloth and sick it in the dryer with wet laundry for a nice fragrance.
Tea Tree Essential Oil for Sore Throat or Cough
The “Tea Tree Lick”: Just put a drop of the oil on your little finger (the finger which is least likely to be rubbed in your eyes) and suck it off. Do this every 5-10 minutes until your sore throat is gone. This works best when done at the first sign of sore throat.
Tea Tree oil doesn't taste as bad as one would think, but if you are someone who can't stand the taste, try sticking your finger as far back in your mouth as possible where your taste buds are less sensitive to the taste. My 7 and 5 year old will ask for a "Tea Tree Lick" when they have a sore throat. If they can put up with the taste then so can you. :) It really works and is worth doing to avoid getting a severe sore throat or cough. Using E.O.B.B.D. certified Tea Tree Essential oil in a "Tea Tree Lick" is safe and without any unwanted, harmful side effects.
Note: Ingesting essential oils can be dangerous! Please, please, please ONLY use E.O.B.B.D certified essential oils in a "Tea Tree Lick". Other oils which do not have this certification can be adulterated with harmful fillers and can even be toxic. Most essential oils have a warning on the bottle not to ingest them. Only E.O.B.B.D certified Tea Tree oil is safe to be used in a "Tea Tree Lick".
All Ancient Legacy oils are E.O.B.B.D. certified, which is why they are the only essential oils I would trust or recommend using in the ways I described above. To read more about why E.O.B.B.D certification is so important, click here.

Adicted to Doctors
I've noticed that some people run to the doctor way too hastily...even for the littlest things. I think it is WAY over done by the majority of people and I noticed it mostly with parents of young children. Fear is what drives them there. Their child spikes a temp and off they run because they are unsure of how to help them. They rely on doctor visits and prescriptions when treating their children.
When I was sick as a child my mom would say: "Well, let's see! Your grandma used to do this..." Or "Your great-grandma always said that...!" And then she would get out whatever "old time" remedy would come to her and before I knew it I was better. It was very rare for her to drag me out of my warm bed to take me to a doctor's office full of germs.
The common belief is that one needs a synthetic drug to be relived of symptoms or to be cured - the "old remedies" do not work. Sadly, this belief can result in many complications. Drugs have unwanted side effects and reactions that can harm the body and sometimes even be deadly. Have you noticed TV commercials for synthetic drugs these days? The last part of the commercial in which they list all the possible side-effects takes longer to do than promoting the drug itself!
Don't get me wrong. Drugs do have their place and sometime are even life-saving, but for the most part you can take care of illnesses naturally. Our moms, grandmas, and great-grandmas were more knowledgeable in natural healing then our generation is today.
I've learned so much from Dr Wallach and the information that Youngevity has available to us to utilize. I no longer drag my 8 month old baby to the emergency room at 3 am just because he has a temp (yes, I did that with my first born...I was terrified - he was fine by the time I arrived at the ER!!!). I have become very confident in the natural remedies that I have learned about and use often. Now when my children are sick I'm able to stay calm and can asses the situation appropriately. I use the appropriate essential oils, supplements, and remedies, tuck them into their beds and before I know it all is well. The key is to know when a doctors visit is absolutely necessary. Most of the time, at least in my experience, a doctor is not needed.
And the ultimate cure? A cuddle from Mom!
Happy Mother's Day!

Tea Tree Essential Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) for Warts
If you are just learning how to use essential oils, Tea Tree is a good one to start with. It has so many great qualities....simple, every day ones at that. It's been called medicine chest in a bottle.
My most recent success with Tea Tree oil is that I banished a wart on my son's finger. No pain, no side-effects, no chemicals, no doctor's visit, and all with minimal effort.
Here is how I did it: Apply one drop of Tea Tree to a plaster (it's less messy that way than if you were to apply it to the wart directly), and then "stick it" to the wart! We did this twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. One week later, and good-bye wart!!
I found it worked best when he managed to keep the bandage on all day and all night to give the oil maximum time to do it's deed.

The Power of Pure Pollen...As Nature Intended
I am leery of all these 'synthetic' concoctions which do more harm
than good in the long run.
Yet not all energy-boosting products are
the same. My husband and I discovered an all-natural product which really works in giving you a dramatic increase in energy which lasts for hours, does not bring that consequent late morning "let down" that a high-in-caffeine drink brings, and above all, is healthy and beneficial for the body.
If you try anything, try taking this product:
Pollen Burst by ProJoba, one of the product lines from the health company "Youngevity", is an Energy Drink like no other. It gives you ALL day energy, relieves mental and physical stress, relieves pain and soreness, gives you mental alertness, decreases cravings, promotes weight loss, relieves allergies, works great as a flu remedy, and the list goes on.
Do NOT confuse this with other energy drinks on the market! This does not have a lot of caffeine and it does not have a lot of sugar. It only has the caffeine equivalent of 1 cup of green tea (which is a more gentle caffeine to begin with) and it only has the sugar equivalent of ½ cup of orange juice. It is free of artificial colors and preservatives – it’s 100% natural! Don't let the product's name mislead you--Pollen Burst is not made with bee pollen, which is contaminated with molds, spores, and bacteria. Rather, it is made from harvested organic flower pollen extracts. The allergic husk of the pollen is removed and only the hypoallergenic, unadulterated Neo-Nutrient core is used which contains over 180 micronutrients – it’s a whole food matrix. These micronutrients are quickly absorbed and help your body work at its optimum level, therefore it sustains your energy level throughout the day.
Pollen Burst also contains Green Tea Extracts, B Vitamins, and SOD (Superoxide Dismutase). SOD is an antioxidant made by your body, it’s your body’s first line of defense and the most powerful, effective antioxidant in the world today. This is the first SOD in drink form. Read more about the science behind Pollen Burst at www.burstscience.com, and find out how these claims that Pollen Burst makes are backed up with scientific data and double blind studies.
At a cost considerably less than a cup of Starbucks, my husband has traded in his morning cup of coffee (which he was addicted to) for a Pollen Burst. In addition to the extra energy and alertness it gives, it also has aided him in his weight loss due to it's appetite-curbing and metabolism-boosting properties, enabling him to steadily lose 20 pounds in just 8 weeks! Since our seven year old puts half a pouch in his water bottle he takes to school with him we have noticed that he is able to focus better on his school work. I also take it (of course) and love everything about it. I love the way it tastes, the way it makes me feel, the extra energy I have throughout my day, and definitely how it aided me in getting over the flu this winter (who has time to be sick?).
than good in the long run.

Birth Control: Not Just a Health Issue but also a Moral Issue
Hormonal contraception has been questioned since it's appearance on the market. It can increase blood pressure, affect cholesterol levels, increases your risk of some cancers, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (especially if you smoke), and so on.
Then there are the moral issues. The obvious one is, "Is it wrong to prevent a pregnancy?" While there are some of us who may think that it is NOT WRONG to prevent a pregnancy, most of us would agree that it is definately WRONG to terminate a pregnancy. Doctors will not always tell you that the pill can actually lead to a spontaneous abortion, either because they are themselves not aware or simply because they do not think it should be a concern of theirs. As I understand it, the pill does NOT ALWAYS prevent ovulation, but the pill ALWAYS thins the lining of the uterus in order to make implantation of a fertilized egg (baby) almost impossible and therefore causes a spontaneous abortion. This takes place without the mother ever knowing that she is (was) pregnant.
Please take some time to read this study: http://archfami.ama-assn.org/cgi/reprint/9/2/126
If you do not have the time to read the article, I have copied and pasted it's conclusion here:
CONCLUSIONS
The available evidence supports the
hypothesis that when ovulation and
fertilization occur in women taking
OCs, postfertilization effects are
operative on occasion to prevent
clinically recognized pregnancy.
Physicians should understand and
respect the beliefs of patients who
consider human life to be present
and valuable from the moment of
fertilization. Since it would be difficult
to predict which patients might
object to being given an OC if they
were aware of possible postfertilization
effects, mentioning the potential
for postfertilization effects of
OCs to all patients and providing
detailed information about the
evidence to those who request it is
necessary for adequately informed
consent.
Fighting Alzheimer’s in a Nutritional Way
Odds are that you know of someone who suffers from this terrible disease. I myself can name many, not to mention the ones who suffer right along with their loved one as they watch them deteriorate.
A recent ABC news story reports that 18% of all Baby Boomers (that’s 14 million people) are expected to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is growing at an alarmingly accelerated rate. Currently 5.2 million people have the disease, of which 500,000 are under the age of 65.
Wow! Those are frightening statistics to say the least! Why are there suddenly so many people with this disease? Where did it come from? What causes it? Conventional doctors will tell you that age is the only risk factor. Well, we can’t avoid getting older, and if age is the sole cause of this disease, then why was this disease unheard of before the 1970’s? People have been getting old since the beginning of time. Yet the fact is that this disease was not known to exist before then, not even under another name.
So what lifestyle changes did we make in the 1970’s that could have contributed to this epidemic? Dr. Joel D. Wallach asserts the following:
“Alzheimer’s appears to be a physician caused disease, because doctors have encouraged people, in fact demanded people to give up saturated fats and cholesterol and move to a cholesterol free diet to get their cholesterol down below 200. They have created no less than 25 cholesterol deficient diseases and to me Alzheimer's is one of the big ones.”
“75% of our brain weight is pure cholesterol. It’s called myelin, and it’s that fatty stuff which insulates each nerve fiber, the brain, and the spinal cord. We can only make about 10% of our daily need of cholesterol. The other 90% must come from our diet. And if a person is very, very good at giving up chicken skin, red meat, and eggs like a doctor would have them do, after about 6, 8, or 10 years they are NOT going to be able to keep up with the maintenance and repair needs of that cholesterol which is needed for the insulation of the myelin, brain, and spinal cord. And so you can just expect a person is going to develop one or more of these 25 physician caused diseases.”
“The best way to avoid Alzheimer’s disease is to eat a couple eggs every morning for breakfast, not cooked in margarine or fried. You want to consume as much as 72 ounces of red meat every month. I know that sounds like a lot, but that only amounts to just one quarter pounder per day. You want to supplement with the 90 essential nutrients. When you get to the Vitamin E level you want to have at least 2000 IU, and you want to have 500 micro grams of Selenium. And if you do that, even if you already have Alzheimer’s disease you can expect a significant amount of return of memory.”
On his DDDL (“Dead Doctors Don’t Lie”) radio program dated March 18th, 2008, Dr. Wallach talked about Alzheimer’s disease. He discusses how there is a high correlation between cholesterol-lowering drugs and Alzheimer’s disease. Click the link to listen. It’s very informative!!!
