With purification. Makes the house smell soo much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875973 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 16:06:06 +0000 jedeve 1875973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: yes. EOs are fantastic for all those things. May I also recommend putting a drop in the toilet and flushing after your husband uses the bathroom? (If your house is anything like mine, anyway...) :happy: </p> <p>I didn't know people took them so seriously. Crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875964 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 16:02:48 +0000 Arden 1875964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!</p> <p>I absolutely believe that essential oils can be beneficial and I use them myself, but some of these claims are downright insane and scary. </p> <p>Helping headaches, getting the baby to sleep, and curing nausea? Sure. Preventing Ebola and curing diabetes? Ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875957 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:51:31 +0000 erinpye 1875957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People keep pushing doterra on me to help my kids sleep. I'm not putting this stuff on my 7 month old's body, or pumping it into the air she breathes, based on recommendations of anyone who is not a doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875854 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:02:30 +0000 Boheme 1875854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: @yoursilverlining: One of our neighbors puts oils in her toddler age children's water, in their humidifiers, and all over their bodies. Her education in it is limited to what she learned at a one hour YL class at the mall. Scary ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875845 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:58:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 1875845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Your consultants promote many of your Young Living Essential Oil Products for conditions such as, but not limited to, viral infections (including ebola), Parkinson’s disease, autism, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, insomnia, heart disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dementia, and multiple sclerosis, that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners."</p> <p>Terrifying to think how many people are "treating" the above with these essential oils (which probably are not even real great quality essential oils.....). Snake oil for the 21st century. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875835 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:51:18 +0000 loveisstrange 1875835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good. I think the way that some people push this crap is irresponsible to the extreme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875833 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:49:08 +0000 Mrs. Detour 1875833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not want to be the lawyer responding to those 15-day letters. The FDA is often full of hot air, but the Ebola prevention claims are exactly the kind of thing that the law prohibits. It reminds me of the Forsythia rush in the movie Contagion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fda-issues-warning-letters-to-young-living-doterra#post-1875792 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:15:04 +0000 Boheme 1875792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe this will lead to reform? I feel that the way these products are marketed by some consultants is entirely irresponsible.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm416023.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm416023.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm415809.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm415809.htm</a> </p>
