The immune system is the body’s defense system. It is designed to protect against threats from outside the body. When functioning normally, the immune system is able to identify, target, and destroy disease-causing pathogens without damaging native body tissues. In this presentation, we will learn about the important steps you can take to maintain a healthy immune system. Feel free to share this presentation with family and friends. Be sure to check out the supporting links above for more information about the products designed to help keep your immune system functioning optimally.
The term “CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade®” sounds technical, official, and impressive; and it is. Without an accepted standard for essential oil quality, doTERRA created its own, the most stringent in the industry, to certify that there are no added fillers, synthetic ingredients, or harmful contaminants in their essential oils that would reduce their efficacy. doTERRA even goes a step further, putting all their products and the packaging through a battery of tests to ensure a long and effective shelf-life. Utilizing its own facilities, as well as trusted third-party labs, each batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through the extensive three-step CPTG process before it is made available for sale to ensure that the product you receive is of the highest quality, every time.
Step 1: Chemistry
Chemistry is the foundation of pure, quality essential oils. After the aromatic compounds are distilled from the plant material, it is confirmed that each batch meets the chemical composition standards using a combination instrument known as a GC/MS, or “Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy”, to guarantee that the chemistry of the oil matches the expected profile. The gas chromatography instrument separates the molecules in the oil based on chemistry, and the mass spectrometer identifies each group of molecules.
After GC/MS testing, the ratios between each chemical constituent are analyzed so that our essential oil experts can verify that each oil is in its most pure, natural form. Once a batch is determined to meet our chemical profile guidelines, it can then move on to the next stage of testing.
Step 2: Physical Testing
Following chemical testing, each batch of essential oils goes through a battery of physical tests: organoleptic assessments, Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), optical rotation, specific gravity, and refractive index. In reference to essential oils, organoleptics are those attributes that can be tested through sight and smell. In this phase, our team of essential oils chemists, manufacturing engineers, and quality technicians manually assess the appearance, aroma, and color of each essential oil. Each batch is then put through FTIR testing, which uses infra-red light to analyze the material composition of an oil to determine if it meets doTERRA established standards. Optical rotation then tests for chirality, using instrumentation to twist essential oil molecules in order to identify synthetic additives that GC/MS testing would not detect. Next, the specific gravity of each batch is tested; the volume-to-weight ratio is compared to reference standards to verify oil quality and purity. Lastly, a refractometer is used to determine if the essential oils refractive index, a measurement of how light propagates through a specific substance, meets doTERRA established standards.
Step 3: Contamination Testing
Batches that make it through the physical testing are then run through a series of contamination tests to confirm that there are no harmful contaminants. We test for potentially harmful microorganisms, heavy metals, and pesticides to certify that use is safe for your entire family when proper usage guidelines are followed. Our CPTG quality testing process does not stop here. We continue on with a fourth step of testing to ensure these essential oils remain pure for the entire shelf life of the product.
Step 4: On-Going Stability Testing
The final phase of testing verifies that CPTG oils will maintain their purity and efficacy for as long as you intend to use them. Stability testing is ongoing and involves not only examining the integrity of the essential oils, but of their packaging as well. In the first series of tests, utilizing chambers that can alter temperature and humidity, we analyze what happens to the essential oils when exposed to different atmospheric conditions in both accelerated and long-term studies for extended periods of time. This testing protocol ensures that doTERRA CPTPG essential oils will continue to provide safe and effective benefits years after they have been manufactured.
With no official controlling entity, doTERRA has confirmed its dedication to honesty by developing an industry-first testing protocol which verifies that each bottle’s contents actually match the purity and quality claims made on the label. With doTERRA CPTG essential oils, you can be certain that every product is safe and effective, and will be for the entirety of its shelf-life.
Fasting is great for your health; however, if it is done wrong, it can be dangerous and have long-term side effects. There are several ways you can fast. You can perform a full day fast where you only eat dinner, only juices, or only water. You can do this kind of full day fast for up to three days, but after that period of time, it can be really hard on your body.
There’s a new type of fasting called intermittent fasting, which is where you are only fasting for a period of the day for about 4-8 hours. You can do this fast anywhere from 30-90 days. Intermittent fasting is really beneficial for allowing your body to rest, helping with leaky gut syndrome. In addition, intermittent fasting supports your hormones, benefits with weight loss, and heals your body through detoxification, if performed the right way.
There is a lot of research that shows that certain frequencies are healing. Bruce Tainio, of Tainio Technology (an independent division of Eastern State University in Cheny, Washington), using the world’s first frequency monitor, which he had designed and built, determined that the average, daytime frequency of the human body is 62-68 MHz. (A healthy body frequency is 62-72 MHz.) He conducted studies to prove this. Each of our organ systems have their own frequencies.
When a person’s frequency drops the immune system is compromised. If the frequency drops to 58 MHz, cold and flu symptoms may appear. At 55 MHz, diseases like candida can take hold. At 52 MHz, one might contract Epstein-Barr. And, at 42 MHz, according to these studies, cancer is a real possibility. Death is said to begin at 25 MHz. More factors with healing involve the types of foods consumed. While eating live foods promotes frequency and energy, many foods lower frequency levels. Appropriate amounts of physical activity improve frequency and removing toxins that do not belong (detox therapies) also serves to increase energy. Some bad news for coffee lovers is that merely holding a cup of coffee lowers your body’s frequency 8 MHz; drinking that cup lowers your body’s frequency by 14 MHz. It can take three days to recover and bring the body’s frequency back up to 62 – 68 MHz. If you drink coffee daily, your body’s frequency will constantly be in the lower ranges (the range of illnesses), unless you do something to raise these levels.
Just like certain devices Essential Oils have certain frequencies and energy. The highest energy level that I know of is rose oil.
Fact: It takes as much as 12,000 rose blossoms to distill 5 ml of CPTG essential rose oil.
Measured MHz Levels (Energy) of the Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil
Rose is 320 MHz
Lavender is 118 MHz
Peppermint is 78 MHz
Using ESSENTIAL OILS is probably the EASIEST way to increase a person’s frequency on a daily basis. Part of what I have been studying over the past years involves nutrition and how important it is to feed our bodies nutrients and enzymes that are “alive”. Both of my parents had cancer and I looked a great deal into nutrition as a means to restore them to health. One of the main reasons to try to incorporate organic foods into our eating routines is because they are alive.
Here is another interesting fact: One ounce of Clove Oil (as an antioxidant) is equivalent to:
450 pounds of carrots
120 quarts of blueberries
48 gallons of beet juice.
The therapeutic grade of the oil used is very important. There are many different grades of essential oils out in the market system. There are some that have cut corners and even though once were considered therapeutic, now are no longer in the same ball park as others who remain pure therapeutic grade. Some companies inject chemicals into the water during the distillation to increase the amount produced but creates an oil that has been contaminated. Often times you can tell by smelling the oils that there is a difference. I have a friend with multiple chemical sensitivity who reacts to certain oil brands. doTERRA is the only brand allowed to call itself CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade). I have witnessed my friend use doTERRA without having the same reactions that she has to other brands. For people with dropping MHz levels, using the purest oil available is essential.
In my reading and research on these areas I have also found that there are other factors that can impact the use of essential oils. Studies show that negative thoughts lower the frequency of
Essential Oils by 12 MHz while positive thoughts raised their frequencies 10 MHz. Prayer raises frequency levels by 15 MHz. Studies also show that at 528 Hz, DNA repair can begin.
Love has a Huge Impact on Wellness
Love has a huge impact on wellness. Loving thoughts are important. Below is a short video about a study done by Dr. Masaru Emoto that describes how water has a memory and the impact of different thoughts communicated to these structures. “Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama, Japan in July 1943 and a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University’s department of humanities and sciences with a focus on International Relations. In 1986 he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo. In October of 1992 he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher, but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature through. Mr. Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities. Water from clear mountain springs and streams had beautifully formed crystalline structures, while the crystals of polluted or stagnant water were deformed and distorted. Distilled water exposed to classical music took delicate, symmetrical crystalline shapes. When the words “thank you” were taped to a bottle of distilled water, the frozen crystals had a similar shape to the crystals formed by water that had been exposed to Bach’s “Goldberg Variations”- music composed out of gratitude to the man it was named for. When water samples were bombarded with heavy metal music or labeled with negative words, or when negative thoughts and emotions were focused intentionally upon them, such as “Adolf Hitler”, the water did not form crystals at all and displayed chaotic, fragmented structures. When water was treated with aromatic floral oils, the water crystals tended to mimic the shape of the original flower.
Sometimes, when we cannot see the immediate results of our affirmations and or prayers, we think we have failed. But, as we learn through Masaru Emoto’s photographs, that thought of failure itself becomes represented in the physical objects that surround us. Now that we have seen this, perhaps we can begin to realize that even when immediate results are invisible to the unaided human eye, they are still there. When we love our own bodies, they respond. For our own bodies at birth are more than 60 percent water, and the percentage of water in our bodies remains high throughout life (depending upon weight and body type). The earth’s surface is more than 60 percent water as well. And now we have seen before our eyes that water is far from inanimate, but is actually alive and responsive to our every thought and emotion. Perhaps, having seen this, we can begin to really understand the awesome power that we possess, through choosing our thoughts and intentions, to heal ourselves and the earth. If only we believe.”
There is a plethora of scientific evidence that supports the benefits of maintaining a healthy thought life. Scripture, for those who believe, backs up what scientists are discovering about our thoughts. Here is another short video with Dr. Caroline Leaf. She speaks a lot on toxic thoughts, toxic love and how we are designed or hardwired for love…
Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are able to:
create an environment detrimental to pathogens (viruses, bacteria, etc)
create an environment of clear communication between all cells and all systems
create an environment detrimental to cancer growth
erase (deprogram) misinformation in our cells
reprogram misinformation in our cells so they function and replicate properly
When CPTG Essential Oils are combined with loving thoughts, prayer, live foods and appropriate physical activity, amazing things can happen.
Optimism is defined on google.com “as hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something.” Dictionary.com defines it as:
“adispositionortendencytolookonthemorefavorablesideof events or conditionsandtoexpectthemostfavorableoutcome.
Most people have hear the description of the difference between the optimist and the pessimist. The optimist sees the glass as half full and the pessimist sees it as half empty. Well, today there is an abundance of research that shows that those with “adispositionortendencytolookonthemorefavorablesideof events or conditionsandtoexpectthemostfavorableoutcome” are physically healthier. And the research doesn’t stop there. We are now seeing that optimism or a positive thought pattern is important in building resiliency. An individual overcome hurdles and attains goals quicker and more often when using positive self-talk and self-thought. Research shows that optimistic people tend to have less stress, better health, achieve better results and have more joy.
Many who abuse drugs or alcohol neglect important components of daily health, wreaking havoc on both emotional and physical well being.
It is important to repair the psychological and physical damage of chemical dependency as well as the damaged mind-body connection.
Exercise in chemical dependency treatment serves many purposes, but there are some primary benefits one can get from exercise during substance abuse treatment and recovery.
Exercise relieves and reduces stress.
Exercise naturally and positively alters your brain chemistry.
Exercise is meditation in motion.
Exercise improves your outlook.
In addition, regular exercise fosters improved:
Sleep
Greater energy
Enhanced feelings of well being
All of these improvements make life much more manageable and enjoyable and recovery that much more possible and sustainable.
Aerobic exercises, have been proved to reduce anxiety and depression. These include:
Jogging
Swimming
Cycling
Walking
Gardening
Dancing
These improvements in mood are proposed to be caused by:
Exercise-induced increase in blood circulation to the BRAIN
This physiologic influence is probably mediated by the communication of the HPA axis with several regions of the brain, including:
the limbic system, which controls motivation and mood
the amygdala, which generates fear in response to stress
hippocampus, which plays an important part in memory formation as well as in mood and motivation.
According to recent studies, more than half of us are sufferers of ongoing discomfort. Deep Blue is doTERRA’s soothing solution to this challenge. Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Blue Tansy, German Chamomile, Helichrysum, and Osmanthus work together to ease achy joints and sore muscles. Its effects are deep and penetrating with sustained results.
The brand name Deep Blue® is synonymous with relief for sore and tired muscles. The CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oil blend as well as the rub have provided comfort to many and are trusted among their users. It only makes sense that an ingestible supplement would complement the topical benefits of the Deep Blue product line. Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex delivers polyphenol extracts of frankincense, turmeric, green tea, ginger, pomegranate, and grape seed, and is designed to provide soothing support to aching muscles and to other occasional discomfort. Take as needed when discomfort presents itself, or take it every day for long-lasting benefits.
CONCEPT
Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex provides a unique blend of extracts of Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata), along with turmeric and ginger. Indian frankincense has long been used for its soothing properties, and its use in the traditional Ayurvedic medicine of India is well established.
This supplement delivers a unique and standardized Boswellia serrata extract (not an essential oil) that has been clinically studied to promote healthy mobility and function, and can provide soothing support throughout the entire body.
Like boswellia, turmeric is a centuries old traditional Ayurvedic medicine that is also part of the popular spice Indian curry. The science behind turmeric’s soothing role in overworked muscles and joints is now recognized by experts throughout the world. Ginger root has also been used for centuries throughout Asia as a traditional medicine and popular spice. Ginger was among the first spices brought to the New World and has long been recommended for its natural soothing benefits.
Polyphenols
Polyphenols are natural, powerful, water-soluble antioxidants and Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex delivers the unique polyphenol benefits from what are considered some of the most healthy beverages—green tea, red wine, and grape and pomegranate juice. Red wine (resveratrol) and green tea (catechins) have, for centuries, been recognized as central to the healthy Mediterranean and Asian diets, respectively. Today, they are the subject of the most exciting anti-aging and wellness research. Resveratrol is believed to be a key component in the healthy Mediterranean diet and it is thought to be responsible for the “French Paradox,” where the French enjoy far better heart health than would be expected from a less than ideal diet and lifestyle.
Green tea’s wide variety of health benefits have been established for hundreds of years, but again, only recently have scientists identified its catechins, specifically EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) as the molecules responsible for these benefits. The green tea extract used in this product concentrates the goodness of green tea to provide targeted levels of catechins. Grape seed is known for its exceptional levels of protective polyphenols, particularly OPCs (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins), which are powerful antioxidants.
Pomegranate is another key ingredient in this product and is often referred to as the “sacred fruit.” Punicalagin has been identified as a key beneficial molecule behind pomegranate’s benefits, yet its levels are rarely declared on pomegranate juice or supplements. Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex™ delivers a unique pomegranate fruit extract, standardized to deliver a specific level of punicalagin, which helps ensure the benefits of this powerful fruit. These polyphenols help neutralize a broad range of damaging free-radicals, thereby supporting the health of a wide variety of tissues, organs, and systems throughout the body.
Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex is designed to offer unparalleled natural relief. Furthermore, its formula enables you to enjoy all these exceptionally powerful, natural molecules without consuming any alcohol, caffeine, sugar, calories, or other potentially harmful stimulants.
The Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Study (CAMS), in addition to other studies on treating childhood anxiety disorders, found that high-quality cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), given with or without medication, can effectively treat anxiety disorders in children. One small study even found that a behavioral therapy designed to treat social phobia in children was more effective than an antidepressant medication.
Anxiety can be a normal reaction to stress. It can help us deal with a tense situation, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it can help us cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling condition.
I listened to a great talk this past weekend by a young man describing some of the pit falls of his generation. He did a great job of communicating the needs of his generation and the concerns that many of his peers express. As I listened to him I thought about how different things were in my youth. When I returned to my home, I decided to look up some studies and this is what I found. Today’s youth report the following as issues of concern consistently:
Erosion of National Pride/Lack of Collective Identity
Poverty
Changes with the Economy
Education System Concerns
Lifestyles that Promote Obesity
Materialism
Violence in School
Bombarded with Sexual Suggestions/Being in a Hurry to Grow Up
