Incredible Help for Bipolar, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, OCD,.. and other Brain Disorders

Let me tell you about what I learned after I wrote my book, Healing Arts- A Gift from God. I read a remarkable book about another daughter who had bipolar. It reminded me at times of our own experiences. That book is a great gift to the world!  In it Autumn tells about her dedicated father in Canada who found a radically different approach to bipolar THAT WORKED!  Autumn didn't believe it could work at first . . . but it did because the Lord was behind its inception. God's fingerprints are all over this family's incredible story that includes fasting and prayer.  

"A Promise of Hope is the story of Autumn's flight from madness to wellness and an astonishing scientific account of a treatment that has also helped thousands of others. It is a powerful call for a new understanding of mental illness, its causes and its treatments.  ©2007 Autumn Stringham; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.

The formulation produced by Autumn's father and the man he was led to, David Hardy,  has blessed over 90,000 people with a wide variety of mood disorders! My daughter is one of them. She had problems beyond post partum depression after the birth of each of her children.    

My daughter used the same high dose vitamins and balanced minerals treatment as Autumn, called EMPowerplus. 

The very first week on this formula my daughter experienced much less anxiety. Then she noticed she had way less negative intrusive thoughts. Under her doctor's care she was able to significantly lower her psychiatric medications, replacing them with Empowerplus.  My daughter is thrilled to be doing something natural and without any of the prescriptions' side effects. My son has also been able to largely replace a prescription for sleep with Empowerplus. Both of my adult children are using Empowerplus Advanced. 

My clients report: better sleep, much less anxiousness, less negative intrusive thoughts, and a whole lot less mind racing. They feel much less "down", far more joy - and even energy.  This proper ratio of high dose vitamins and minerals certainly helped my daughter recover from postpartum depression (along with the emotional release work she did in energy healing).

EMPowerplus has been proven effective in usage and clinical research for depression, stress, ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD, Autism, Bipolar disorder, OCD, Rage, Brain Injury, Trauma, ODD, Addictive Behaviors, and early Alzheimer's and Dementia.

This approach, a nano chelated and micronized micronutrient, fits perfectly with what God woke me up at 4 am to learn of years ago: "Our cells make the sparks of Chi, but its flow is held by the minerals. . . .  Minerals are not the entire story for Chi, but they are an important part." (Parris M. Kidd PhD quoted in Farley M. Anderson, Nature's Answer, 38)  Apparently, when one is nutrient and mineral deficient, life force energy (the life-giving energy from Jesus Christ that is also a mental light) is not flowing through the body as it could be.

Harvard Psychiatrist Charles Popper, M.D.  wrote in the afterword to Autumn Stringam’s book, A Promise of Hope:

“Autumn’s enthusiasm for her treatment is justified. By all accounts [it] changed her life more profoundly than conventional medications could. The success in her case is undeniable. And there are thousands more like her.

. . . Controlled scientific studies are in the works [and] the initial findings are particularly challenging to physicians because they do not fit easily into current psychiatric knowledge or theory on bipolar disorder. For patients and physicians alike, it would be a mistake to off-handedly dismiss it.

Charles Popper, M.D. Harvard Medical School Aug. 2007

I'm convinced that humble father, Tony Stephan, discovering a connection between micro-nutrient deficiency and mental health was much more than luck. In her book, Autumn wrote of her father speaking these words:

“We have won a new respect for the mentally ill. They are no longer hopeless if they find Truehope. They are no longer stigmatized if they go on to live a life like the one you are living now. . . . Liberty, Autumn, we won liberty for the captives! Are you trapped anymore? No. Are you afraid anymore? No."
[Then Autumn recounts]  I can hear him pounding his steering wheel the way he used to thump the pulpit, before Mom died, before his life was changed forever. And it brings tears to my eyes. “We won a battle that we never even wanted to fight, and there has been a power behind this that goes way beyond our abilities... We won before the fight even started because this victory isn’t mine and it isn’t David’s. It’s an answer to prayer, Autumn. It’s a miracle. It’s a miracle. We have won the right for you to choose to be well, to help as many people as you want to, to help them find their way out of the darkness of mental illness. Autumn, Bonnie Kaplan said it years ago, and I believe it. This may be the most significant breakthrough in mental health since the beginning of time.”    (Autumn Stringam, A Promise of Hope, 270)

Those words bring tears to my eyes, too. This is a breakthrough of epic proportion! The above words give me hope that someday, with the research getting to a mainstream audience, the stigma associated with so-called mental issues can vanish. This feeling is marked by Dr. Popper's words, "Make no mistake, this is an historically significant piece of work that is being done."

 "Changes the way psychiatry will be practiced." Dr. Bonnie Kaplan (PhD University of Calgary, Pediatrics)

A psychiatrist, Julia Rucklidge, tells it like it is in this video: 

God bless Tony Stephan's children! His wife did not die in vain! I count myself extremely blessed to benefit from their story, learning and sacrifices. My family's health is improving because of them and my heart is filled with gratitude.I feel it an honor to introduce this noble family's story to others. I am likewise grateful for David Hardy and his family.   

Despite humble beginnings, this formula has netted over 30 medical journal publications and studies by 23 universities in 4 countries.  Over 5000 doctors are promoting this product! Third party research continues (see www.micronutrientsupport.com). 

There is hope! Optimize your mood naturally and quickly. Some people know in days if this product is working for them. Others need weeks before the benefits show.

My family and clients are experiencing great differences now that we understand mental clarity, calmness and focus are related not only to what I wrote about in my book (spiritual, emotional and generational aspects) but also to overcoming micronutrient deficiency. What a paradigm shift!

To your health!

It is very interesting to me that scientist Dr. Yury Kronn says, 

“The difference between the ability of mineralized and distilled waters to hold Subtle Energy patterns suggests that minerals are playing the role of "capacitors" or holders of Subtle Energy. It could very well be that minerals play the same role in the human body."   

(Dr. Yury Kronn, PhD; Dr. Jeffrey Marrongelle, DC, CCN; Robert C. Eanes;  “Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine: New Paradigms, New Technologies, New Possibilities”;  www.pureenergyrx.com; white paper)

Letter from a Client - Mental Illness a WAR with THOUGHTS

email to author 1/31/13

"Hi Tamara,

I have been passing through lots of interesting experiences and I learned some things that I thought might be of help to your daughter.  You mentioned awhile back that her bipolar was bothering her again.

This last week I passed through more pain and insanity than I did when I was in the mental hospital...but I learned some very helpful things.

I finally understand that this whole "bipolar" thing is about the WAR within my thoughts!!!!!!!!

The "negative energy" has  used a very effective strategy to destroy my peace.  As far as I have understood this is it...

1. They begin with the CONSTANT bombardment of negative thoughts in my own thought/voice.   Like wood peckers trying to drill into my brain, these thoughts are constantly inviting me away from Gods Spirits thoughts.

Brother Fletcher call's these "thought viruses".  The most effective ones seems to be "I am a victim",
(Etsuko told me that in her experience this "victim thought virus is always involved with a candida overgrowth in the body (which I am FULL of and have been all my life); blaming others,criticisms, etc. are other damning viruses.

Once one little thought chain is listened too, step 2 goes into effect...

2. Open the hole into the brain wider by quickly pouring in more negatively inspired evidence of whatever it was I chose to believe. Over time, depending on how long it takes them to convince me of the truth of their lies, like a chain getting thicker and thick with every accepted lie, and my mind getting darker and my feelings get more contentious and soon the Spirit is gone from my heart.  Then they begin step #3.

3. Once I am at the point of angry irrational blindness, I quickly sink into despair (feeling their feelings perhaps + my own at loosing the Spirits companionship?) I have recognized by now that I don't have peace and am praying desperately to get it back but am in a very bad place and I can't see much light or have much hope...it sneaks up. If they can extinguish my hope I am defeated.

This last experience, as I had sunk into despair and could seen no light it felt like an eternity of the pains of hell.  The words that seemed to keep me afloat were from the temple...repeating them over and over and pleading with the Lord to save me.   I saw the shadowy outlines of 5 negative energy beings working frantically over me (I was lying on my bed, trying to sleep...it was late into the night).  I saw them waist up, so they must have been kneeling or sitting through me somehow.  They were feverishly working...the motion looked/felt something like whipping an egg. (I believe this must be some kind of energy work...like the motions of Reiki used for negative).  Finally I felt the angels of God come and push off the negative energies but their damage hung on for a long time.  I fell asleep but I know at least one guardian angel was there still in the morning. Some how they clean and repair during the night.  I am so thankful.

Etsuko did distance energy work on me, taught me more about keeping myself more in constant light. 

(So this is what I thought might help your daughter...

I've been flooding myself with light...especially my thoughts...

- Daily scriptures and prayer (and as needed...In the "crazy" when I would read the Book of 

-M[ormon], Mormon Tab[ernacle] choir hymns CONSTANTLY floating in one ear.  When I am monitoring how I am feeling, I can choose to tune in to the music of faith and short circuit the thought viruses.)

-Essential oils (the vitamins by DoTerra are great) especially frankincense on the top of my head, my 3rd eye chakra, my heart chakra, and navel.

-I use Wild Orange or OnGuard (by DoTerra) on the back of my neck, head, and shoulders when I feel the negative energies attack (do you know how they do this?  How do they get through my aura?  Oil immediately usually stops the pain.

-Healthy diet full of green veggies...word of wisdom...

- Learning to love myself (the EFT has been helpful in this and learning to love my body).

I think my sickness began because of  my very damaged heart and the pain of negative emotional "slivers" coming out.  I am trying to completely connect every chakra with Father, especially my heart.  If He holds my heart, I hope it will feel safe enough to enable me to be a healthy mom and wife. 

I know the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of our being are all connected and that I need to be strong in all of these to keep balanced to maintain peace. It seems like if I am weak in any of these areas, I am much more vulnerable to attack.

I stopped eating sugar and processed foods and am working to be free of candida. 

I think because I have been so low, the "road way" in my brain is already established.  I am quicker to fall, if I start down that path, but IF I DON'T START down the path, they have no power over me.

In summary, 

1. I believe my bipolar learning opportunity is caused by negative energies.

2.  I have lots of power to choose to stay in "light" places, especially when I know what I am dealing with. 

3.  This opportunity is being turned into a blessing ... to make me stronger, to give me experience, to motivate me to give my whole soul to my God.

This really is warfare!  I hope something of this might be helpful for your daughter. 

Do you have any thoughts about how to get my heart chakra healthy?   Can someone with a broken/ unattached heart have the gift of Charity...which I think means I would always have the love to give my family?

How to do more cleansing of negative emotional triggers?  What do you call what you did with me at Etsuko's house?

I have been free of my meds for 3 years but I think drug residues in my systems are still making me vulnerable.  I hate presciption drugs!  Do you have any drug cleansing ideas? 

Hope you are well.  Thank you for all you have taught.

Science and Charts on Energy Work

DR. WEST'S CHART

I listened to Dr. Kenneth West from South Africa lecture in the fall of 2012 in North Ogden, Utah. He gave me permission to share this power point slide of his publicly. 

“Working with scientists from Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it became clear there is a hierarchy of function – the longer the wavelength, the more powerful it is.  The longest wavelength measurable is called the Boson and, … it controls the hierarchy.  Zero Point is at the top of the pyramid and the Boson creates the descending order of power all the way down to the structural level.  

This illustrates why therapies using the waves higher up the pyramid (like energy work, prayer, sound healing) so often produce results superior to those at the bottom of the pyramid, where surgery and biochemical therapies reside.  It is also interesting that the further down the pyramid you go, the greater the risk to the patient, the higher the cost and the more irreversible the changes.” (Dr. Kenneth West, “Stress Addiction,” Odyssey,  Issue 2  2012, p 44)

I believe Dr. West explained that the techniques listed above the bottom level are examples of using  the wavelengths in bold.  The "Hierarchy of Function," portrayed in the pyramid above, summarizes some points in my book, Healing Arts - A Gift from God.

VIDEO -  SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF ENERGY HEALING

Dr. William Tiller, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University is the author of eight books and 250 scientific papers. He explains, “We now know that the body heals through frequency, vibration and resonance and it’s communicated through light.” 

Here is a very short video of Dr. William Tiller, talking about the scientific research he has done 5 times on the healing modality Reconnective Healing by Dr Eric Pearl. Dr. Tiller mentions developing a device to measure the energy of the space where a workshop was held and how the energy measurably changed - quite drastically, in fact.

Dr. Tiller said, "It isn't an energy effect. It is an entropy effect. Information is being exchanged. Information is being created. When information is being created, entropy decreases...In the process of the Eric Pearl Reconnection (Reconnective) Healing, people are building infrastructure into themselves. Therefore information is growing in the universe. Which means the thermodynamic entropy is decreasing. Which means that nature is restoring itself...It heals the space. It heals our world." 

 (You can read about this research. "An Experimental Investigation of Some Reconnective-Healing Workshops via a Unique Subtle Energy Detector" is on White Paper XI by  William A. Tiller, Ph.D. and Walter E. Dibble, Jr., Ph.D.)

A SIMILAR CHART

 A similar chart to the one above that I've titled 5 Levels of Healing by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt is found below (and simplified in my first book on slide # 467. Both charts are in my second book).

Quoting Dr. Klinghardt, one author says:

"Health and illness are a reflection of the state of these 5 levels. ... Any health problem can originate on any of the 5 levels.... An imbalance on one level, if left untreated, spreads upward or downward to the other levels.... Unless upper level imbalances are addressed, restoring balance at the lower levels will not produce long-lasting effects.... Therapeutic intervention at the lower levels has a very slow, and little penetrating effect upwards.... But if you do an intervention on the 3rd or 4th level, it can correct the [block] on the 2nd level immediately, within seconds or minutes, [Dr. Klinghardt] notes." (Stephanie Marohn, The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder, 59-60, 72, emphasis added)

Simply put, that sums up what a number of energy work modalities are doing! I believe these processes involve a sacred light, sound, and breath. The field of energy work often involves breathing techniques, unseen light in and around the body and various forms of sound waves.  These underlying principles are spoken of in terms the world uses as well as by religious terms. My book Healing Arts - A Gift from God points out that Zero Point Energy, listed at the top of the pyramid above, is related to intelligence in the light of Christ which mentions other scriptural terms for sacred light, sound and breath. Interestingly, cutting edge scientists have found that healing involves vibration, frequency and resonance -- all communicated through light!

What a blessing that Dr. Klinghardt is world renowned for helping autistic patients as well as Lyme patients in his medical practice. I am deeply grateful for this pioneer who teaches other medical doctors his form of applied kinesiology muscle testing as well as how to release unresolved trauma from generations past and other energy healing techniques. 

"Dr. Klinghardt estimates that about 70% of mental disorders across the board go back to systemic family issues that need to be treated. People try to treat them psychologically, on the 3rd level and it cannot work.  This is not the right level.  Similarly, focusing on the biochemistry is not going to fix the problem when the source is at the 4th level." (Stephanie Marohn, The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder, 70)  

 The 4th level is where systemic family issues or generational problems reside. Clearing generational issues is an area that energy work addresses. What a difference this makes for people!

"Unresolved trauma does not appear to go away with death, but plays out in a variety of ways in later generations.  Often, unresolved trauma from previous generations becomes the source, and the causative event of illness is later generations.... Most people overlook this and can never help their patients.  I use this work for all autistic children that come to my practice.... When we resolve issues in the family history there is often magical improvement in these children. By healing the trauma of the past these children are healed in the present." (Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., "The 5 Levels of Healing" video, www.mercola.com, Tamara Laing's transcribed notes)  

These and other quotes and scriptures on the subject of generational healing as well as religious validation for many underlying principles of energy healing are mentioned in my first book but delved into in my second book. Some of these quotes are in my DVD "What Else Is There?"  Like Dr. Klinghardt, and a host of facilitators of energy work, we attest that changes in health and behavior can happen quickly today -- just like they did when facilitated by mortals in Bible times. Believing in these techniques is not a requirement for them to work, only a willingness to try is.  Belief, however, adds even more to one's results. Faith is a literal power as "Thought" near the top of Dr. West's pyramid attests!

Another professional paper has a chart on 6 strengths that the field of Energy Medicine has. It is described here:

The current status of energy medicine and its increasing challenge to the biochemical paradigm that has dominated conventional medicine are reviewed. While energy medicine represents only a small fraction of one percent of the 2.2 trillion dollar health care industry, six properties of energy medicine give it strengths that could augment conventional health care models. 

These include the ways energy medicine  

1) can address biological processes at their energetic foundations (reach), 

 2) regulates biological processes with precision, speed, and flexibility (efficiency),  

3) fosters healing and prevents illness with interventions that can be readily, economically, and non-invasively applied (practicality),  

4) includes methods that can be utilized on an at-home, self-help basis, fostering a stronger patient and practitioner partnership in the healing process (patient empowerment),  

5) adopts non-linear concepts consistent with distant healing, the healing impact of prayer, and the role of intention in healing (quantum compatibility), and  

6) strengthens the integration of body, mind, and spirit, leading not only to a focus on healing, but to achieving greater well-being, peace, and passion for life (holistic orientation).”

"Mighty Spirits" includes those with Mental Illness

Our trials have purpose in the eyes of God and can bring us closer in love with Him and others. This post is meant to help you understand who you really are. I hope it changes your perception of yourself and any labels you may have been given.

It was helpful for my daughter and I to change our perceptions about mental illness. In the beginning we asked the question 'why?'  or  'why me?'  Over time, we learned to change the questions we were asking of God to, "What would you have me learn?"

I learned that I may have even chosen to have a daughter labeled wtih a mental illness before I ever came to earth. The idea that we may have chosen our own life learning lessons -- or what we call trials -- is actually a cross cultural pattern found in NDE's around the world. Understanding this can bring hope when facing life's challenges. Remembering who we are, where we've come from and our purpose in coming to earth helps us through happy as well as tough times. Author Roy Mills saw that before being born on earth, “I selected certain life experiences and was taught about them.”

An apostle said something akin to that.  Elder Richard G. Scott said,
"We lived in the presence of God our Holy Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ in a premortal existence. There we gained an understanding of the Father's plan of salvation and the promise of help when we would be born as mortals on earth.  ...So that the period of mortal testing and growth would yield its greatest benefits, you were taught and prepared for the circumstances you would personally encounter in mortality." (Ensign, Nov. 2005)  (See also illustration #293 in my book Healing Arts.)

Interestingly, Roy Mills was told not to share the memories from his NDE with anyone  -  for 45 years! He upheld that; then, in 1995 he was told by an angel that it was time to share.  She said the message of his pre-birth experience would change the lives of everyone who would listen.  It would help them understand who they really are.

My friend, Kathy Truman, introduced me to Roy Mill's book  The Soul's Experience and sent the excerpt below. It is from a chapter titled "The Mighty Spirits."  I share this with all of my clients lately and have highlighted portions of it. Enjoy, and get your own copy of this amazing book!

THE MIGHTY SPIRITS 

Excerpt from:  The Soul’s Remembrance by Roy Mills
An account of one man’s remembrance of the premortal realm:

We come to live in the physical world so that we can grow spiritually by gaining experience and exercising our free will.  Many of those experiences involve hardships which can only happen on earth, because Heaven is a place of perfect love, forgiveness, peace, and tranquility.  And these hardships are necessary to help us build faith and exercise the gifts God has given us.  Each of us is given a mission to accomplish while we are here, but we are also allowed to select some of the challenges that will bring us growth.

The angels help us choose our experiences, because what we choose must fit with our mission and with God’s overall plan for our lives... They explained that the more difficult a challenge was, the more knowledge and wisdom and love it could bring.  I knew that it would be pleasing to God if I dealt with many experiences in a positive way, so I began selecting all kinds of challenges.

While I was in Heaven, I never saw anyone who was depressed, maimed by an accident, or suffering from disease. Our spiritual bodies are always healthy and whole; they are perfect, and our spirits shine with a radiant beauty. Our physical bodies are only a temporary home for our spirits, and nothing can truly harm who we really are.  So when I selected my earthly experiences, I had no concern for what they would do to my physical body.  I knew that the more I suffered for others, or because of others, the more I would grow in spirit.  And with that knowledge, I had a completely different perspective on adversity and the experiences I chose for my own life.

The angels explained to me that an illness or accident triggers a chain of events that can lead to spiritual growth.  Some spirits choose a life of extreme sacrifice or nearly unbearable suffering.  The light of God shines brightly around these people, and in Heaven they are thought of as mighty spirits, because they come to earth to suffer so that others can grow in understanding and love.  

Some mighty spirits choose to be born with severe disabilities such as blindness, deafness, mental illness, Down’s Syndrome, and others.  Some choose to be paralyzed or disfigured or disabled later in life by an accident.  Others suffer a life-threatening illness such as cancer, or Alzheimer’s.  And many brave spirits choose to be born into alcoholic or drug addicted families, or into abusive homes where they suffer and sometimes even die from abuse.

Many of these people who suffer from such challenges live their lives thinking they are inferior or unworthy of love because they look different or don’t have the same abilities as most people, or because they were the victims of abuse.  But the truth is that they are mighty spirits who denied themselves and have come to earth to help others grow.  

When we see a child who is confined to a wheelchair because of a problem with his or her muscles or nerves or brain, we feel compassion for the child.  But the deeper truth is that this individual had compassion for us first, having chosen their condition to help us grow.  When we think we are helping the disabled, we are really helping ourselves by learning selflessness, charity, and how to demonstrate our love.

These courageous souls chose their conditions in order to inspire love, compassion, caring, patience, or forgiveness in others.  They also suffer to gain experience and knowledge that will help others who face similar challenges, or to help improve conditions by raising public awareness.  Like Jesus, the mightiest Spirit of all, these souls suffer in our place so that we can learn, experience, and grow without bearing the same cross they carry.

In Heaven, everyone who chooses to be born on earth is thought of as a courageous spirit.  It’s not easy to leave the peace and love of Heaven for the hardships and strife of earth. ..It often takes adversity to shake us up and help us grow, but God wanted His children to be happy in their earthly lives, too.  After choosing my life experiences, I was told to also have fun while I was here.  This life may be a ‘vale of tears,’ but it is also supposed to be a time of joy.  And how much joy we experience is up to us.

When we realize that we, ourselves, chose many of the difficulties in our lives, and that all things happen for a reason, we begin to let go of earthbound thinking.  We can give up the crutches we use to fill the emptiness in our live-alcohol, drugs, money, meaningless sex, prestige, and power.  When our eyes are opened, we begin to see things as they really are.

We begin to understand that life isn’t cruel or unfair, but is a spiritual journey that leads us to meaning and joy and real happiness.  Knowing the truth about ourselves sets us free to be the happy, loving people God wants us to be.

Dr. Susan Lawton on Vetiver & ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, etc

Information shared in this document is by Dr. Susan Lawton 
from research and practice.  

Vetiver  

"Vetiveria Zizanoides
Nourishing, Restoring, Reconnecting (A little goes a very long way)
Vetiver grass has long, narrow aromatic leaves and straight stems. Grows in tufts
and is very tall; approximately 6 feet high. Its roots are spindly, but intensely aromatic.   The
Vetiver is steam distilled from the roots and is a very challenging process to gather and process the
plant roots for the oil.  Its scent is heavy, bitter and very earthy (kids ask for the oil that smells like dirt).
"Antibacterial, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiparasitic, antiseptic, relieves
muscle spasms and can assist in relief of liver congestion, wound healing and relief of dry skin and
oily scalps, mood lifter, pain relief for stiff joints of arthritis, rheumatism, sprains and strains.
Helpful with insomnia, regulating appetite, and has proven effective with anorexia nervosa when
used consistently.
"Vetiver has a high level of sesquiterpene as part of its chemical make up.
Sesquiterpene (BBB-Brain oxygenating) molecules deliver oxygen molecules to cells, like
hemoglobin does in the blood.  Sesquiterpenes can also erase or deprogram miswritten codes in
cellular memory.  Sesquiterpenes are thought to be especially effective in fighting cancer. *
Used with other essential oils in blends to hold the fragrances for a long time,
really helps the citrus oil scents “pop” in blends.
"Vetiver Oil balances the activity of the sebaceous glands, or oil glands, and helps to
normalize oily skin and clear acne.  It replenishes moisture in dry and dehydrated skin.  Because it
strengthens connective tissue of the skin, Vetiver has a rejuvenating effect on the complexion,
particularly mature skin.
"White Blood Cell Stimulant:  Enhances immunity by increasing the production of
white blood cells that fight infection.  These are the cells that patrol your body, cleaning and
literally gobbling up foreign invaders.  **
"Stimulates the Production of Red Blood Cells, which transport oxygen throughout
the body.  This again improves immunity and circulation.  ***
"Vetiver Oil normalizes either extreme sensitivity or insensitivity.  It integrates spirituality with
materialism, restores balance and harmony, brings thoughts and actions into focus, and helps to stabilize mental and physical energy.

"ADHD and anxiety relief have been reported by consistent users. Diffusing Vetiver is relaxing and a great anti-depressant.
Anxiety can be relieved by mixing Vetiver with Myrrh 1:1 and applying behind
the knees right after shower in the morning.  The Vetiver and Myrrh are both
rather thick in nature and will process gradually and lend a calming influence
throughout the day.  If you need to reapply after 3 or 4 hours use same ratio.
