Marie's Essential Defense Oil Blend
Several essential oils have recently been clinically
shown to be highly effective in destroying the viruses and bacteria
that cause colds, flu, pneumonia, and staph pathogens. Because it is
quite costly to purchase all of the oils necessary for an all purpose
"anti infection" blend, I have created Marie's Essential Defense Oil
Blend. Two of my clients have already used it to prevent
family members from becoming ill following extended exposure to
confirmed swine flu infected persons. No one can say for sure
that the oil was the reason they remained healthy, but they (and I)
believe it played a significant role. Purchased separately, the
six oils have a cost of around $225. A client's request led me to
create the blend of specific oils in order to save you money, effort,
and time. My blend proportions are based on what has been
clinically found to be most effective.
A
5 ml bottle of Marie's Essential Defense Oil Blend costs $45, and a
little goes a long way. I also have a few 15 ml bottles available
for $120, which gives you the equivalent of three small bottles at a
$15 savings. I use only therapeutic grade Young Living
Oils in the blend, and the blend is packaged in a light-protective
colbalt blue
glass bottle. Contact me if you are interested in learning more about
it, or in ordering some for yourself.
I am willing to mail it to you in a padded envelope, but would
need to know how many bottles you are ordering and your address to
calculate the S & H charge.

Testimonials: What
People Have to Say About Marie
You've done more for me in 3
months than my doctors have done for me in 11 years!
Kristi Martin, Piney Flats, TN
The owner
of a local health food center referred me to Marie at a time when I was
sick and weary from continual medical evaluations and invasive
procedures, which yielded no definitive reason for my ongoing problems.
Marie did a comprehensive assessment of my problem, ...and
identified my symptoms as being consistent with Celiac disease, which
was medically confirmed by my medical specialist. Marie combines
her professional skills with genuine caring and compassion. She
provides me with comprehensive nutritional counseling and is tenacious
in her research of information regarding specific concerns. Marie
has truly blessed my life.
If you have an opportunity to go to one of
Marie’s seminars, GO! Marie is a tremendous teacher who has
literally spent a lifetime advocating wellness…
She is a gifted researcher and one of the most knowledgeable
individuals I’ve met on “going green”.
Jamie Hyatt RN,
BCRS, LSH
I saw Marie's article in the
newspaper. I knew I wanted to become healthier, lose
weight. I had been in an auto accident and had gained. I
have been working with Marie for about 2 months now and I am losing
weight and feel better than I have in a long time. I have more
energy and am not as tired. I get to prepare "real" meals that my
family will eat. Marie has been a blessing in my learning process
of living a healthier lifestyle.

Why Should You Care About
Pesticides?
There is growing
consensus in the scientific community that small doses of pesticides
and other chemicals can adversely affect people, especially during
vulnerable periods of fetal development and childhood when exposures
can have long lasting effects. Because the toxic effects of pesticides
are worrisome, not well understood, or in some cases completely
unstudied, shoppers are wise to minimize exposure to pesticides
whenever possible.

CCR instead of CPR
We all know that CPR
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is supposed to save lives, but did you
know that except in TV land, it is only successful out-of-hospital
about 10% of the time? And the latest research suggests that
mouth-to-mouth is nearly useless. Dr. Ewy, of the Sarver Heart Center
in Arizona has developed a more effective method of CPR called CCR or
cardiocerebral resuscitation. It is sometimes referred to as CCC-CPR
for continuous chest compression CPR. Paramedics and firefighters
have improved their save rate by 300% using this newer protocol. (AM J
Med 06;119(4):335-340) CCR is still relatively new, so don’t be
surprised if local emergency workers are unfamiliar with it.
Changing protocols that have been in place for 40 years does not happen
overnight.
Here is how to do it. Call for help before beginning if you
are alone. Interrupting chest compressions is what you must avoid.
First, check for breathing
and heart beat. If the heart is beating but the person is not
breathing (such as in a drowning or asthma attack), standard CPR using
30 compressions and two breaths, is still best.
If it appears to be cardiac
arrest—the heart has stopped—continue. Be aware that
some gasping for breath may continue during the CCR.
Place the victim on his or her back.
Kneel beside the chest and put the heel of
your hand over the middle of the chest, then cover it with the other
hand.
Extend your arms, locking your elbows, and using your full upper body
strength, press down as firmly as you can. Repeat the
compressions at about 100 times per minute, being very careful to
completely remove your hand from the chest between compressions so that
the chest can fill with air on its own.
If an automatic defibrillator is available,
use it after giving CCR for 2 minutes. This offers the best
chance of success. Perhaps someone else could be setting up meanwhile.
If it is necessary to continue CCR, be sure
to take good breaths yourself, and trade off with another person to
rest. Continue until professional help arrives.
If 15 minutes of compression fails to produce
any gasping or breathing, mouth-to mouth is probably necessary.
Do your best, but remember that even under
the best conditions, resuscitation is not always possible.
Self
Help for Heart Attack via modified CPR
You are alone when you feel
a hard pain in your chest, left arm or shoulder. Women may have more
feelings of shortness of breath or heart palpitations, or even nausea.
You realize you may be having a heart attack.
You have 10-15 seconds before you pass out, so
Start Coughing immediately!
Coughing causes the diaphragm to contract and compresses the
heart. Taking the deep breath in between coughing fills the lungs
with oxygen.
1. Take a deep breath
and cough twice as hard as you can. Take a small breath then a deep
breath and cough twice again as hard as you can. Keep doing this
till you can signal or call for help and until help arrives. It’s
possible your heart will begin beating normally on its own.
2. Chew and swallow an
aspirin as soon as your heart has stabilized to help open up any
blocked blood vessels, and consider keeping a supply of cayenne pepper
capsules on hand. Taking two of them dilates the blood vessels,
improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
Self
Help Heimlich Maneuver
Preventing deaths from
choking is especially important to me, because had it not been for a
quick thinking young babysitter, I would have silently choked to death
on a “jaw breaker” when I was about 8 years old. I
remember the moment well, and am forever grateful that the girl’s
RN mother taught her how to use this life saving “squeeze”.
Something I cannot emphasize enough is that when the airway is
completely blocked, it is impossible to utter a single sound. This is
one reason you should know how to save yourself if necessary. You
may not be able to summon help.
The second reason is one
I discovered a month or two ago, to my horror. A short person my size
cannot effectively save a tall or large sized person from choking using
the Heimlich maneuver.
If you are
choking and help is unavailable, locate a chair or sofa back, or even a
table edge. Position your upper abdomen against it and thrust yourself
forcefully on it so that your diaphragm is compressed enough to expel
the object. Making a fist with
both hands and pushing forcefully upward against the diaphragm may also
be possible. Repeat until you
have been able to expel the object.
Self Help for
Stroke
First it is important to recognize the symptoms of stroke, whether in
yourself or in others.
Symptoms may occur suddenly, or may begin and progress over a period of
minutes or even days. Sudden intense headaches (not normal ones) may be
warning signs. Women may have less definitive symptoms such as sudden
loss of balance, confusion, sudden numbness, trouble seeing, or even
nausea.
Remember to act: F. A. S. T.
F. for face.
The person should try to smile. Is one side of the face drooping
or unable to move? Check yourself in a mirror.
A. for arms.
The person should try to raise both arms. Is it difficult or
impossible to raise one arm?
S. for speech. The person should try to repeat a
sentence. Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to repeat
a simple sentence? Is the person suddenly talking in gibberish?
T. for time.
The optimal time to prevent permanent brain
damage is minimal. Call for help immediately if you
suspect you, or someone you are with, is having a stroke.
A new drug containing
caffeine and alcohol is proving extremely helpful for stroke victims
when administered within 2 hours of the stroke. In one small
study, 60% of patients had little or no disability following stroke,
when given the new drug.
You can approximate this drug easily. Prepare
a cup of very strong coffee and add 1 oz. of whiskey to it. Drink
it immediately while you wait for help. The coffee alone will not
help, and the whiskey alone will cause more harm. It is the
unique combination of these two that provides the benefits.
If a stroke is confirmed
you will have improved your outcome, if it is a false alarm, no harm
will have been done.
Also, do not lie flat. Evidence suggests that the brain is better
protected by remaining somewhat upright as in a sitting position.
