The History of Thieves

The History of Thieves™

Europeans began producing essential oils in the 12th century. During the Plague of the 15th century, certain thieves were able to rob the dead without fear of becoming infected by the terrible disease. After being captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims of the plague, the thieves were offered a deal. The magistrate offered them leniency if they would reveal how they managed to avoid contracting the dreaded infection, in spite of their close proximity with the infected corpses. They disclosed that they were perfumers and spice traders, and that they had rubbed themselves with a concoction of aromatic herbs (cinnamon, and clove).

Thieves™ Blend was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria!

When Ancient Tradition Links with Modern Society: Thieves™ Blend

Fast forward – 20th century, Young Living Essential Oils begins testing Thieves™ Blend, a proprietary combination of cinnamon, clove and rosemary essential oils for its potent antimicrobial properties. Thieves™ Blend was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria. According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference (Essential Science Publishing, page 125), Studies conducted at Weber State University during 1997 showed the antibacterial effectiveness of this blend against airborne microorganisms.”

Thieves™ Blend: Kills Bacteria – Naturally.

“Our family uses Thieves™ Blend. It is a more natural way to fight infectious germs – it’s good for us, and good for the planet.” James Niederland, LCSW, Psychotherapist & Wellness Consultant

Here are a few of the MANY ways you can use this oil blend:
• Air Conditioner Vent – Place 5 – 10 drops on a cottonball and then place it in the vent of your air conditioner (home, car, office, hotel room etc.)
• Eliminate odors by diffusing for 15 to 30 minutes, once or twice a day in a Young Living Cold Air Diffuser – e.g. Cigarettes, Pet Beds and Litter Boxes, Bathrooms, Shoe Rooms etc.
• Toilet Bowl – Add a drop to the toilet bowl after flushing to eliminate odors. Infections – Rub all around infected area

• Water Bottle Cleanliness – Keep a drop of Thieves in your water for long term trips. Make sure you have either a glass bottle or stainless steel because essential oils should not be used in conjunction with plastic but because there may be no other options, then we highly recommend that you use plastic made of PET or HPDE.

Jokes

Three Ladies in a Sauna

Three women, two younger and one senior citizen were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly, there was a beeping sound. One of the young women pressed her forearm and the beeping stopped. The others looked at her questioningly. “That was my pager”, she said, “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm”. A few minutes later, a phone rang. The other young woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, “That was my mobile phone…I have a microchip in my hand”. The older woman felt very low-tech. Not to be out done, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end. The two young women raised their eyebrows and stared at her. The older woman finally said….”Well, will you look at that…I’m getting a fax!”

Don’t Fall For This!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally but this one is real, and it’s important.

Please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!

They only want to see you naked.

I wish I’d gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

My Christmas lights are up.

Is Organic Food Better for You

By: Matt Kent

The US has witnessed a long standing debate on the nutritional benefits of organic food. With trillions of dollars hanging in the balance and laws protecting businesses from almost anything that lowers their bottom line, few credible American sources have taken a stand on this issue. As a result, we turn to our European neighbors for the facts. A new report by the French Agency for Food Safety (AFSSA) has found that organic foods are in fact better for you. Some of the findings reveal:

• Organic plant products contain more dry matter (more nutrient dense).
• Organically produced products have higher levels of minerals.
• They contain more anti-oxidants such as phenols and salicylic acid, known to protect against cancers, heart disease and many other health problems.
• Organic animal products contain more polyunsaturated fatty acids (protect against heart disease).
• 94-100% of organic foods do not contain any pesticide residues.
• Organic vegetables contain far less nitrates, about 50% less. High nitrate levels are linked to a range of health problems including diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Read the Full Report

Another source presents the early findings of a 4 year, $20 million study conducted by the European Union on the benefits of organic food. It suggests that some organic foods, such as fruits, vegetables and milk are more nutritious than their non-organic counterparts. In addition, they may contain higher concentrations of antioxidants which are extremely beneficial to the heart and have been known to fight cancer.

Read the Full Report

Why buy organic food? It’s simple: organic food is just good food. It’s good for your body, good for the environment, good for the animals and just downright good for the soul. To those who cite lack of research, I say, “why take chances with your body and mind when organic food is readily available?” So make the extra effort, even if it’s small to start. feed yourself and your family more organic meals. The rewards will last a lifetime.

The Sky Before Katrina Struck…

Whoever took these pictures did an awesome job. And whoever said Katrina was ‘awesome and terrifying’ is telling the truth. Wow, take a look at this ….

These pictures were made by a man in Magee , MS where the eye of the storm passed thru- what an experience. Magee is 150 miles North of Waveland , Mississippi where the hurricane made landfall. The dance with Katrina, part of her beauty as she left destruction on her exit. They are remarkably dramatic…

The following picture was taken from the third story balcony of Saint Stanislaus College located next door to Our Lady of the Gulf church in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi on the morning of August 29th, 2005. This is believed to be the initial tidal wave from Hurricane Katrina. The tidal wave was approximately 35 to 40 feet high. When it slammed into the beach front communities of Bay Saint Louis and Waveland, Mississippi to completely destroy 99% of every structure along the beach for 9 miles and over a mile inland. The destruction only started there. The flooding that continued inland destroyed the contents of all but 35 homes in these two communities of approximately 14,000 people.
