Emotions causing arthritis (as per Karol K.Truman in Feelings Buried Alive Never Die...:

"Severely criticizing self or others; holding onto feelings of hostility; holding own opinions and beliefs; long term tension or anger in life; feelings of anxiety and/or Depression endured over long periods of time;belief that it's wrong to get angry which creates: repressed anger that eats you up; need to be right; rigid in thinking and feelings; uncompromising attitude; inflexibility

arthritis - Rheumatoid:

Body is receiving conflicting messages, like: laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside; feels totally helpless in ability to change life's burdens"

Some people feel like a cooling treatment, and some want it hot. You have quite a few choices to pick from.

What worked for my mother-in-law at one point was 3 oils she picked herself: Lavender, Thyme (regenerates tissues, heals inflammation, hot essential oil), and Wintergreen (goes all the way to the bone, pain-relief, hot essential oil)

Just a quick summary of a few essential oils and products with essential oils:

  • Lemongrass - anti-inflammatory, regenerates connective tissues and ligaments, dillates blood vessels, improves circulation, promotes lymph flow. Read Connective Tissue Damage(Cartilage, Ligaments, Tendons)

  • If you have pain, Deep Relief is a cooling blend, PanAway is hot. All the oils that are listed in the ingredients for these blends work well together and by themselves to heal the pain (read how I helped a friend with a broken back - Healing story #1 in Healing stories .

  • OmegaGize is the fish oil supplement with the healing essential oils and CoQ10: Fish Oil, Rice Tocotrienols, Clove EO (Syzygium aromaticum), CoQ10 Kaneka™, German Chamomile EO (Matricaria recutita), Spearmint EO (Mentha spicata), Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), Mixed Carotenoids, Other ingredients: Gelatin (tilapia), Silicon Dioxide, purified water

For example, Palo Santo is used for regrowth of knee cartilage, joints as well as it works for inflammation.

Wintergreen is sedative and tranquilizing to the central nervous system, and therefore is good for muscle/nerve pain, hypertension, insomnia and anxiety.

BLM™ supports normal bone and joint health.* This formula combines powerful all-natural ingredients, such as type II collagen, MSM, glucosamine sulfate, and manganese citrate, enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils. These ingredients have been shown to support healthy cell function and encourage joint health and fluid movement.*

Interesting facts:

Palo Santo oil is a very powerful antioxidant because of its high d-limonene content. Palo Santo oil contains 75-76% d-limonene which is almost unheard of in tree oil. White Fir is known also to contain high levels, but it doesn’t come close to this.

Animal studies show that d-limonene protects against pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancers. D-limonene is contained in the peels of citrus fruits such as grapefruit, orange and lemon. But it is also a constituent in many of the essential oils that are distilled from trees.

Formula copied from testimonials:

10ml of Sesame Oil with 10 drops helichrysum essential oil and 6 drops Blue tansy.

GARY YOUNG’S MAGIC RELIEF FORMULA

Combine the following in the exact order in an amber-colored glass jar:

1 oz. V6 mixing oil

8 drops Spruce

8 drops Sandalwood

7 drops Fir

5 drops Hyssop

4 drops Lemongrass

5 drops Helichrysum

4 drops Birch (or Wintergreen)

2 drops German (blue) Chamomile

1 drop Blue Tansy

Note: Balsam and White), they have almost the same chemistry, each with 75-95% monoterpenes and 5-20% Esters. Either of these two firs would work in the magic formula. (by David Stewart - http://www.raindroptraining.com/messenger/v6n1.html)

This will help explain the use of Magic Relief. Great for bone, joint discomfort and tissue regeneration.

Magic Relief has been used for many things. I made it for myself when I tore the muscles and ligaments in my shoulder and was told that my hip joints were wearing out. My Grandmother had hip replacement surgery and she said if you don’t have to go through that, don’t.

At night I could not lay on my sides as my hip would start aching and hurting clear down my leg. Since I made the Magic Relief I no longer have had problems sleeping on my sides at night and this has been eight years since I made this blend and started using it.

My shoulder had healed wrong because I didn’t go to a doctor until 6 months later. I could not lift my arm let alone carry anything. I now have full use of my arm and can carry any amount of heavy objects.

This blend has been used to:

- fill a hole in that had been eaten almost through by a virus in the of

bone of a finger when antibiotics wouldn’t work.

- Stiff neck problems, arthritic, along with Frankincense for cancer and

chemo side effects.

- To assist in a the transition of death, making the pass-over peaceful and easing the pain of cancer.

- When in doubt use it for anything, it is great!

Healed of Arthritis in the Knee

by David Stewart, Ph.D., R.A., D.N.M.

I injured my right knee severely back around 1967 and it

hurt for ten years, but the pain finally went away.

Everything was okay for about 25 years and then I crossed

the threshold of age 60. My right knee began to develop

osteo arthritis and started deteriorating fast. It hurt

with every step. I developed a limp. At night it ached

and kept me awake. I was losing sleep. I tried hot packs,

cold packs, condritin, glucosamine, and bendroitin,

which offered some relief, but it kept getting worse.

I could not run or jump any more without the knee

swelling up and hurting even more.

I went to a doctor who said the only thing to do was a

knee replacement. He said I would have to give up walking

for exercise. That was a shocking statement for me to hear.

I did not want to give up walking and hiking for exercise.

Neither did I want a metal pin in my knee. That would not

be healing. That would maime me for life. I wanted my good

knee back, the way it was when I was a young man. Complete

and whole, like God made it.

It is funny how you can have the answers to your problem at

hand and not realize it. That is when I suddenly woke up and

realized that I had the cure already. The answer had to be

with the oils.

I had been using essential oils for less than a year at that

time. I then prayed to God. I said, God you have given me

tools to heal myself. Please tell me how to use them. I

receive a clear answer: Use wintergreen and cypress oils.

So I did.

Morning and evening I put about three drops of each in my

left hand, mixed them together, and then applied them to my

right knee, praying as I rubbed (anointed) my knee. I also

did vitaflex on the knee since that amplifies the

therapeutic power of the oils.

It started getting better right away and gradually, after

two months, it was completely healed. I can now run and jump.

There is no pain. My knee is as good as new.

The New Testament mentions healing by Jesus and his

disciples 73 times. We normally assume these healings were

always instantaneous or miraculous. However, this is not so.

In 30 of the 73 instances, we find that the Greek word from

which the English word, heal, has been translated is iaomai,

which does mean instant or miraculous. But that is less than

half of the New Testament healings. In 40 cases, the Greek

word is therapeuo, which means healing gradually over time

with care from others. It is the same Greek word from which

we get our word, therapy. Hence, most of the early Christian

healings mentioned in the Bible were gradual.

I have experienced iaomai, the instant kind of healing. But my

knee was healed after the manner of therapeuo, gradually over

a two month period of time. So far as I am concerned, it was a

miracle. It just was not instantaneous. That was back in February

of 2000, more than five years ago. I have not had to use the oils

on my knee ever since.

Essential oils are not like pharmaceutical drugs that never heal

but make you dependent on them for the rest of your life. Through

God's creation of his essential oils, applied in prayer and with

human touch, as taught by Jesus to his disciples, you can find

total healing. Once healed, you don't need the oils any more for

that particular problem.

When you apply essential oils for healing, it is important to

realize that healing is not always instant. It was not always

so for Jesus and his disciples. So if you are not seeing the healing

you want right away, just keep applying the oil and blessing

yourself and/or the person seeking the healing. Some things take

time. Persistence in one's faith is the key.

One should not conclude from my experience that applying winter-

green and cypress oils would cure an arthritic knee in every case.

People are different and different oils act differently on

Different people. The way you determine what oils to use is to ask

God, the first aromatherapist, the creater of the oils. He knows

Everything and is just waiting for you to ask for his advice. In

The book of James, Chapter 5, it says that we receive not because

We ask not. It took me a while to ask God about what to do for my

Knee, but when I did, I got the information I needed and was

Healed, but not instantly.

3. If Your Knees Hurt, Try This

by David Stewart, Ph.D.

Seven years ago I had severe arthritis pain in my right knee for which a doctor recommended a knee replacement. I declined. (See Raindrop Messenger Archives, Vol 3, No 4, 2005, at www.RaindropTraining.com.) Instead I used Wintergreen and Cypress Oil applied twice a day, morning and evening. I also applied PanAway from time to time. It took two months to heal and for the next five or six years there was no pain in that knee. I walked hundreds of miles, including climbing mountain paths and rugged terrain.

A year and a half ago a pain of a different kind came into that knee and the Wintergreen and Cypress did not work this time. Neither did the PanAway have any mitigating effect on the knee. I eventually realized that the source of the pain was not in the knee. It was a displaced pain from a pinched nerve at L5 in my lower spine, a form of sciatica. That is why the Wintergreen and Cypress oil applied directly to the knee did not work this time. The previous pain had been arthritis in the knee joint, but this time it was different and had a different root originating in the lumbar region of my spine.

It is not always easy to figure out the causes of your ailments. After months of prayer and introspection I discovered the emotional roots of that pain dating back to some experiences in my early teen years and began working on the spiritual issues involved. The pain subsided almost immediately once I zeroed in on the correct issues and dealt with them. But it would still return from time to time. It takes time and hard work to clear deep emotional issues and remnants can hang on long after you have begun to understand the underlying problem.

I then found a formula that works all the time and my knee has been pain-free ever since. It is simple: Every day, in the morning, I take the following:

4 Longevity gel capsules

8 Sulfurzyme capsules

4 ounces of Ningxia Red juice

It works for me. No more recurring sciatic pain. No more aching knee. Try it. It might work for you, too.

As for the books that helped me discover the emotional issues underlying my pain, I consulted several. The two principle ones are as follows:

1. Heal Your Body by Louise Hay

2. Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman

Testimonials

Regenolone Moisturizing Cream - 4 oz

Regenolone relieved

the pain and restored movement in less than 10 days!

It's also helping my knees. I use a little wintergreen, then lemongrass, then

Regenolone. This is taking longer, but I am seeing results like being able

to walk down stairs and no more knee pain during the night.

Within three days, the inflammation was nearly gone and I could touch my kneecap without pain. I discontinued the Relafin and Advil and began drinking two to four ounces of Ningxia Red a day, and a few weeks after that began taking four Sulfurzyme a day. I began using the oils on my elbow and foot, and began seeing steady improvement there, as well.

About two weeks after I began using the oils, I discovered Birch was no longer available, and so I ordered Wintergreen, along with some PanAway, more Valor, and another bottle of Aroma Seiz. I continued a rotation of those four oils (neat) every night, using three at a time, alternating the PanAway and the Aroma Seiz (I used the Wintergreen and Valor every night, but alternated the other two).

I honestly don't recall when all of the arthritis pain in my knee went away, but that year I wrote a Christmas letter to all my friends and family telling them about the amazing miracle of being pain free and not having taken so much as a single aspirin for pain since October. (Sadly, only two friends responded wanting to know how more.)

In early 2008, I learned about Z-coil shoes and I attribute some of my long-term success to them because they reduce the stress on my knees and it is my opinion that they have slowed the degeneration of the cartilige. They also help with lower back pain and the faciitis.

For the entire year of 2008 and most of 2009, I continued

Terrie from LaBelle Fl, I use to have issues with my joints (knees & shoulder). Panaway, balsam fir and lemongrass with ortho ease. Internally at 1st alkaline for a few days then sulfurzyme 2 or 3 twice a day for a few months. You can take up to 9 sulfurzyme a day I believe.

Good luck and be gentle and give it time.

Another great product for arthritis is the essential

oil of

Idaho Tansy. When applied neat directly over the

joints,

you will rapidly see its remarkable benefits. It

stimulates

the production of synovial fluid, which as I stated,

lubricates the internal portion of your joints. I

would

apply it two to three times a day to the affected

joints.

Hi Terrie

I would try the BLM/Sulfurzyme combo then apply the Lew formula to the knee. Lemongrass/elemi/wintergreen.

This has helped many and now I would add either pan-away or deep relief too. Make sure you are doing enough calcium/magnesium too. clean up your diet keep your body alkaline.

I also take alfalfa tablets to help with arthritis.

Massage interrupts the noceceptor

responses when done correctly and also aids in improving vascular blood and lymph flow.

When this happens toxins are removed from the tissues, increased cellular activity is present due to oxygenation and increased food sources, and immune responses are enhanced.

Personally, I would recommend that this man work with a massage therapist while doing some serious use of the supplements and oils. All this will be in vain however if a colon cleanse is not done first!!! The tissues are taxed enough already and added detoxing through the skin verses using the colon as the primary elimination element would only complicate the existing

conditions. When the tissues harden the interstitial spaces become plugged.

A protein exchange is determinant to the lymph vascular system picking the "gunk" up to move it out of the tissues as cellular waste.

If there is a malaborption problem due to dietary insuffiencies and poor eating habits, no amount of alternatives will bring relief without first forging a zone in which the body can dump it's garbage. The three primary organs for this are the skin, colon, and liver. We have already seen that the skin is taxed, so the next best bet is to aid the liver and colon.

B vitamins are stored in the liver. If the liver is toxic there will be minimal B vitamins available. With Raynaurd's disease having emotional

stress and stimulation being the presenting affects of this condition, you can also bet that this affects the liver. Mineral salts imbalances are also a key element to the bodies inability to function properly.

I would start with these basics (including massage) and then increase to additional alternative modalities. Likewise, down the road, I would do some emotional work as well. I am sensing that there is a strong emotional connection to these health issues for this man. I would venture that there has been some type of abuse involved in this mans life. There is irony

in that the tissues harden and that it is the sense organs that are affected with these diseases. My question would be on an emotional level to ask what has caused the inward hardening. What is it that he does not want to "sense" any longer?

Remember our outward illusion is a direct result to an inward reality. "So a man thinkith, he is!" This man needs loving touch, the tissues are crying for it. Trust me on this one...

I would also highly recommend that you get this man a copy of the booklet called SAMe by Rita Elkins, M.H. The ISBN# is 1-58054-059-7, it is produced by Woodland Publishing. Most alternative health food stores and/or quality book stores will carry this booklet.

Hi

My name is Angela. I'm 24, married with 2 children and my heart goes out to

all of you suffering with disease. I have been diagnosed with Scleroderma

and everything that comes along with it. I began having symptoms 6 years

ago. I ignored them thinking nothing could be wrong with me because of my

age. Boy was I wrong! My hands started tensing up making it hard for me to

make a fist. I started having heart palpitations. Sometimes it felt like

someone was squeezing it and I had trouble breathing. I could not sleep at

night. During the day I had chronic fatigue. It felt like I was starting

to fall apart. I am writing this to inform you about the method of healing

that I used and continue to use - Young Living essential oils. My husband

has been using them for about 5 years. I was introduced to them through my

husband and his family about 3 years ago. About one month after I started

using them my symptoms had vanished. It was truly amazing.

Of course I was skeptical at first, who wouldn't be. However, from all the

testimonies I heard from people who had the same problems and used the oils,

I had to try them. The oils have absolutely NO side effects. The way God

intended medicine to be. I use Lavender, Myrrh, Frankincense and ImmuPower.

I also use the supplements of JuvaTone, Sulfurzyme and Power Meal. I apply

the oils on the bottom of my feet, on my spine, my outer ears and around my

heart. Sincerely, Angela Breen

Suffered With Nightly Sore Muscles And Cramps

Each night I would go to bed and roll on my stomach. Then the bottoms of my feet would cramp up immediately. I tried different oils on the bottom of my feet, without relief. I found the inside of my lower legs along the shin bone were very tender, especially close to the knee. If I put deep pressure on the tender points close to the knee for 5-10 seconds, it would relieve the cramps somewhat.

I began to put Orthoease along the inner shin and tender muscles close to the shin. Relief was within a minute or two and lasted longer. Now, I go to bed many nights without cramps, before needing to use Orthoease again.

Hello Fellow Oilers: I have a good friend in her 40's who was diagnosed with RA in 2010. She would get pain in her joints that would last for days, It took the doctor about a year to decide it was RA and he sent her to a rumatologist. He put her on methotrexate and prednisone. The methotrexate did get rid of the painful flair ups but it also had negative affects on her liver. The prenisone put her into oestiopenia and would have had her in a wheelchair in about 5 years if she hadn't gotten off of it. She was also on Morphine for a bad back and promethazine for the nausea caused by the morphine. Because she had no immune system from these drugs she would get pneumonia about six times every year and was a prisoner in her own home because every time she went out she got sick. In 2012 she started using Young LIving products and decided she would use these to get off all those drugs if possible. So she asked her RA doctor if he would help her and he got really mad and yelled at her. So she then went to her family doctor and he was thrilled that she wanted to get off the drugs and try another way. So with this doctors help she went through the withdrawal from the morphine and got off all drugs completely. Here is her protocol

Sulferzyme 8 in the morning and 8 in the evening--if she gets a flair up she'll bump this number up to 10-12 in the morning and evening depending on the severity of the flair.

Omegagize 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening

BLM Goes by weight

When she has a flair up she uses deep relief roll on, peppermint, and ortho ease massage oil

Today she lives a normal "pharma-free" life. She feels so much better, looks better, skin is glowing again, her old personality is back. She has had only one cold since she got her immune system back, no pneumonia at all. He periods have come back too. She asked both the doctors the same question about using immune building things with RA but got no answer from either one of them, so based on her experience, it doesn't hurt you to bump up your immune system. As we all know, everyone is different, and this protocol may work differently for different people, but this is what she did and it worked for her. I am not prescribing a treatment or diagnosing anything, just telling what one person did with Young Living Oils and suppliments. And one positive side effect from this protocol is she has no back pain. She was on morphine for 10 years due to degenerative disc disease and rods in her back.

Good luck on your journey, let us know how it goes.
