Frequently Asked Questions

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are found in special cells, ducts or glandular hairs distributed among the roots, leaves, bark, stems and flowers of plants. They protect the plant from insects and other plant-eating animals, from bacteria, molds, fungi and other microorganisms and also help to heal wounds. These special characteristics make them highly beneficial for human beings. Essential oils distilled from plants are very concentrated and very powerful. A drop or two of therapeutic grade essential oil produces quaid and significant results.

What are therapeutic grade essential oils?

Therapeutic grade essential oils are carefully distilled from wild or field -nurtured plants grown and harvested under controlled conditions. Pure water is used for distilling, which takes place under low temperatures and pressure. No chemical components are added any time in the processes of growth, harvesting and distillation. This captures and preserves the pure essence of the plant and its oils.

What oils should I order first?

A good way to begin is with the Essential 7 Kit with its body-supporting, emotion-balancing oils. This selection of basic oils with 5ml. bottles provides a good introduction to the "can't live without it" single oils , in this case lavender, lemon and peppermint, as well as the important blends, here peace and calming, joy, panaway and purification.

How do I use essential oils?

The User's Guide that accompanies each order has specific suggestions for use, such as inhalation, diffusion, use in bath water or in a compress. It includes cautions that may apply to various oils.

Are essential oils safe for ingesting?

Those identified by the FDA as GRA (generally regarded as safe) FA (food additives) or FL (flavoring agent) can be safely ingested under specified conditions. Usually no more than two or three drops should be ingested at one time; a single drop may be beneficial.

What exactly is the immune system?

The immune sysstem is made up of different types of specialized cells, molecules, cytokines, peptides and many other substances.  Immune cells are everywhere in your body, including your skin, lymph nodes and blood. Your immune system fights for your life 24/7.. Without it a simple cold or a scrape on the arm could kill you. From such small local problems to large scale concerns like fighting the effects of free radicals, prompt and effective immune cell communication and coordination is critical for immune system health.

What are transfer factors?

Tranfer factors are tiny natural molecules found in the bodies of all mammals and birds that transfer critical immune information to cells. They work across species barriers- from animal to person or animal to animal- to transfer immune knowledge to the immune system.

What do transfer factors have to do with the immune system?

Transfer factors are the master regulators of the immune system. Every human body contains these wonderful molecules that help to regulate and preserve our health. The identification and isolation of transfer factor molecules has been called the greatest discovery in preventive medicine since penicillin. Transfer factors do not just regulate the immune systm; they regulate the body's entire health.

If my body already has transfer factors, why do I need more?

Increased pollution of our air, food and water, widespread dissemination of viral and bacterial toxins through modern transportation: these are among the many things that contribute to our need for greater immune system protection. Furthermore, scienftific research, aided by technology, is revealing increasing ways in which transfer factors combined with other natural supplements, can afford new and highly effective treatment for heretofore challengiing health problems.

I am well and healthy. I eat right, take supplements, exercise. Why do I need transfer factors?

Even those of us who are fortunate in being healthy are not invulnerable to attack from the toxic world in which we live. Many people who enjoy good health rely on transfer factor because they want to stay well. Dr. Rob Robertson states emphatically, "I believe transfer factors are, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs to consume this product."
