Notes from The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple by David Stewart Ph.D., D.N.M.
"Medical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to recommend it. In sickness the body is already loaded with impurities. By taking drug-medicines more impurities are added, thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure". - Elmer Lee, M.D., Vice President, American Academy of Medicine.
"Non-toxic natural organic substances are usually easily eliminated by the body when their usefulness has run their course... But when your body receives a synthetic substance, even one that may seem benign or inert (like plastic), your body does not know how to metabolize and eliminate it.... The substance ends up in a long term waste holding area of the body (usually fat tissue, including the brain) where it can remain for years and even for a lifetime, perturbing normal body functions as long as it remains. That's why you can find traces of prescription drugs in your body taken in childhood, decades ago.
On the other hand, natural molecules, such as those found in essential oils, are easily metabolized by the body.... When an essential oil molecule finds the receptor sites it was designed to fit and conveys its information to the cell, or participates in other therapeutic functions, it moves on to the liver, kidneys, and bowels and leaves the body.
By contrast, the unnatural molecules of man-made drugs attach themselves to various tissues, disrupting normal function for years while the body tries to figure out what to do with them. Meanwhile, they wreak mischief with our bodily functions and even our minds. Pharmaceuticals are biochemical nightmares that disturb bodily functions and block true healing.
Drugs are designed to send misinformation to cells or to block certain receptor sites in order to trick the body into giving up symptoms. But drugs never deal with the actual causes of disease. They aren't designed for that purpose. While they may give prompt relief for certain uncomfortable symptoms, because of their strange, unnatural design, they will always disrupt certain other bodily functions.
Oil molecules deliver helpful information to cells and cleanse receptor sites so that they bring your body back to natural function. Oils are balancing to the body. Drugs are unbalancing to the body. Oils address the causes of disease at a cellular level by deleting misinformation and reprogramming correct information so that cells function properly and in harmony with one another. With drugs, misinformation is fed into the cells so that some temporary relief may be obtained, but there is seldom any true healing. Drugs usually only trade one kind of disease condition for another.
Becuase essential oils, properly applied, always work toward the restoration of proper bodily function, they do not cause undesirable side effects.
Reasons drug companies produce drugs, not natural substances:
Can't patent natural substance
They are in control - don't need to wait for nature's crops
Drug companies, medical insurance companies and hospitals work hand-in-hand to make money off innocent and ignorant us
Solution - use naturopathic doctors, educate yourself, listen to your body, be happy...
