Young Living Essential Oils usage



Recommended Posts

As I near my four month surgeversary, I am curious if anyone else uses the Young living essential oils for treatment of pain, stress, hunger, Vitamins or any other reason. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much for your help.

After surgery my wife suggested that I experiment with essential oils. I followed her advise and found there was some substance and benefit to using essential oils capturing their medicinal properties. So you might say that I became New Age in my Old Age except I didn't let my hair grow long and tie it in a pony tail and I don't walk around wearing hippy beads.

I am 33 months post op RNY surgery. Immediately after surgery one of the interesting observations that I experienced was a complete absence of hunger. I found that it was not difficult to lose weight when hunger was not constantly, continually gnawing at your bones. But after about a year or two, hunger does return but not with the same intensity as it was before surgery. One of the oil formulas that I created and experimented with I called Anti-Hunger. I found it to be beneficial. The formula is contained in the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Thank you James Marusek, I found your information to be very helpful and inspiring. I unfortunately am stuck in the proverbial gerbil wheel of life. I suffer from chronic pain, excess weight makes it worse, exercise aids in weight loss but causes pain, the pain is relieved to a manageable level with narcotics, those in turn depress the senses including feeling full, so i have to be very careful when I eat. Many friends have used Young Living oils and swear by them. One day this past summer I had disabling pain in my knee and was given a massage of a blend of oils and within minutes the pain began to subside. So I have read and looked at data and other essential oils for 5 months and finally decided my quality of life was such that I had to do something. The Dr.'s could only change my medication to morphine, this in itself is upsetting to me. So I am taking my health back by any means I can, and the Young Living Essential Oils is my choice to do just that!

I too have debilitating pain and decided to have weight loss surgery when my pain management doctor told me I would be in a wheelchair on a morphine pump if I did not have surgery to lose weight. I've been with this doctor for 12 years, so I thought I should finally listen to him. I started at 278 and yesterday (I weigh once a week) I weighed 208. I have seen an improvement on my back pain, but my knees are still really really painful. I have bone on bone in my left knee. I have been using a spray-on magnesium oil on my knees and it makes a huge difference. I can't recommend it enough. The brand is Omica and on the label it says "concentrated pure magnesium oil rapidly absorbable topical spray with biodynamic/organic lavender and helichrysum". I think I bought it at Amazon. I don't recall the price but it lasts a really long time.

By the way, I also followed James Marusek's anti-hunger recipe and use it every day. He is a very smart and helpful person. I have also used his chili recipe which is yummy and very nutritious.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
