There are a number of schools of thought regarding essential oils. GERMAN protocols suggest inhalation is the preferred method. The ENGLISH protocols always use an oil or lotion to dilute essential oils. Just as the FRENCH have different belief systems and experience with sex, food, cars, and fashion, they hold different views about the use of oils. The CHINESE and EAST INDIAN systems are different again because they include a wider perspective of the influencing aspects of humans, animals etc.
The source noted subscribes to the English school. I've managed stores selling ENGLISH protocols which is the best protocol with mainstream public because of general ignorance, lack of education, limited chemistry knowledge and especially LEGAL LIABILITES. Professionally I utilise French protocols with certified internationally recognised standards (AFNOR - Association French Normalization Organization Regulation) or ISO certification. This standard is more stringent and differentiates true therapeutic-grade essential oils from similar Grade A essential oils with inferior chemistry. The AFNOR standard was written by a team headed up by the government - certified botanical chemist, Herve Casabianca, Ph.D., while working with several analytical laboratories throughout France. Thus direct neat application (subject to chemical content), ingestion, retention enemas, inhalation, and diffusion and changing lives and health. ISO-9002 certified oils are an adjunct to CS. They are complimentary. It often depends where one's consciousness resonates. (Dr. D. Hawkins, MD, PhD, book 'Power vs Force' - see e-mail to Garnet). Using Dr. Hawkins protocols of evaluation, I consider there is more FEAR aspects on English protocols, less on the French, and a wider scope with Eastern approaches to understanding impacts on meridians, body types and extended energy systems not yet fully understood by science or allopathic protocols for more reasons than simply benefits. This is beyond science as we know it. Personally, after 14 years of use, I use few oils now. I love them all and call upon them only for specific situations when friends, family ail. Re cats: Imagine this. Your cat collapses flat onto his side and immediately seizes into a rigid hunched back Halloween shaped cat whose tail stiff with rapidly dilating eyes. The resident teenager screams and wails in panic that her cat is dying and we must get to the vet. She's right on the first point. But there's not time to get to the vet, even get to the car. Knowing that 'all is perfect in every minute', I put a drop of blended EO's to assist with digestive track on the rear paws, and offer inhalation of a Trauma release blend that is designed to prevent going into a coma, and then inhalation of a blend which has brings back loving and good memories. Eyes remain still for a minute that's as long as an hour... Got the picture? That was 6 years ago. Cat's pushing 14 yrs old and doing fine other than losing his resident 'stud' status to a 2 yr old Siamese who beat him up and took over the territory. Now he's out 2-4 hrs/day not 22 hrs/day. Diffusion. I used to diffuse frequently - 5 days out of 7 for 13+ years. The cats have 24 hr open outdoor access as a choice but usually park themselves and sleep in close proximity to me which is in the same room(s) as the diffusers. From the classic ENGLISH protocol perspective I guess one would consider my cats live in abusive environment. However, other than their kitten vaccinations (required for cats from the SPCA) they are like their owners who never catch a cold, get sick, require meds or go to vets. Follow the money... there might be some clues there. I could tell numerous other cat/oil stories. Suffice to say I'm respectful of cautions regarding phenols, (except when life threatening urgency - like chemo is sometimes helpful to folks - then they need to cleanse). Cats are different and see into other levels of awareness. Regardless of our human substantiated or unsubstantiated 'belief systems', I trust the response and behaviour of animals to know what is beneficial for them. A compliant cat who patiently allows me to drop oils on ouchies, ticks, or clear his aura is louder than what we have as evidence in science. Just my experience. I utilize other healing modalities too - only ones that produce tangible results - BodyTalk, Animal Talk and Plant Talk all of which are challenging for some people to get their head around. Oh well... Remember small birds will die from the fumes of cooking with a Teflon pan in close proximity to their roost whereas wee birds of a couple of ounces are fine with diffusion of AFNOR standard essential oils. What do the fumes of the Teflon pan do to your children? Yourself? Allergies? Could money influence why these toxic items continue to be sold? Quality counts. Scope counts. Education counts. First do no harm. (and follow the money). Christine PS. Cat also likes to smell every spice when I cook. I use lots of spices... I also use Kinesology except in an urgent critical emergency situation. Then I trust my intuition first and examine why it worked later. > From: sol <[email protected]> > Though perhaps off topic, I think the warnings > important enough to warrant re-sending. > sol -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
