Experiences

In the Fall of 2009, I had a bout with breast cancer; had a lumpectomy and a power port for chemo placed just below my right collar bone. The port ended up becoming infected with staff. I became septic ending up in the hospital fighting for my life. Three years later I am still cancer free, but my energy and stamina still a major issue. As a result of the sepsis, chemo and radiation, my body responded with major joint pain, stiffness and no stamina. One of the benefits of chemo is it blocks all the arthritic type pain, but afterwards it returned with a vengeance.

Entering doTERRA essential oils………. In June of this year, we were introduced to doTERRA by a friend. A few weeks prior in a random conversation at work my husband spoke with a man who shared he’d been having a lot of difficulty with pain and had started using Frankincense oil on the bottom of his feet and how much it was helping. I was so skeptical, but prescription meds were not working so we located some oil and tried it, it helped some, but not much. Then I got a call from a friend about doTERRA we went to hear about it and bought some still a bit skeptical. The first thing I noticed about the doTERRA oil was the immediate effectiveness and the purity of their oil is so superior to what we had used – it was like night and day. So with such good results from the Frankincense, we began to try other oils.

I was doing much better, no pain meds since June 6th that in itself a miracle, but the energy and stamina were still an issue. We heard about a new blend doTERRA released at the convention in September called DDR Prime. It has to do with supporting healthy cellar response, repair and regeneration.

Since the chemo, my left hip was aching all the time – that has gone since starting the DDR. After the bout with illness, I had a lot of trouble with words and making sentences, my husband says my connective thought has improved greatly and I am not having such difficulty searching for words! Since starting th e DDR Prime in October I could feel a difference in a very short time. What I know and can testify too is after 3 years (maybe even longer) I feel better! I have energy and I can do more than one thing in a day! I am so thankful and grateful for this product. It’s so wonderful to feel this good and just from using doTERRA essential oils – who would know! Carol – OR



Over a year ago, my daughter fell asleep while lying out in the sun – and yes, she got a nice red burn. I rubbed 6-8 doTERRA Lavender on her back and then repeated it again a couple of hours later – amazingly enough, the following morning you would not have known she was sunburned the day before – she never blistered or peeled!

But even more amazing than all of these…..doTERRA Lavender essential oil is also a good sunscreen! I took my fair-complected grandchildren (one with red hair) out for a picnic one day. And being warned by my daughter to keep them out of the sun, I rubbed them both down with olive oil with a few drops of doTERRA Lavender oil in it. Well time got away from us – we had so much fun playing in the water –it had been over 3 hours. I was worried about the scolding I would get from my daughter when she saw her children, so upon leaving, I again rubbed them down with more olive oil with a few drops of doTERRA Lavender essential oil. Neither of them had even pink skin….and my friend, who was with me, could not believe it!

To top it off, my friend shared this with another friend who tried the same thing. She was so disappointed because it didn’t help her child keep from burning at all. I was visiting her a few weeks later when she shared this with me, so we compared our essential oils. Hers, she thought, was a very good quality brand, but was very embarrassed to smell the difference. doTERRA’s Lavender essential oil smells so pure and powerful while hers smelled liked a watered-down chemically-enhanced oil. She could not believe the difference. No wonder it wasn’t a good sun screen or sunburn remedy!! doTERRA Lavender essential oil is #1 for burns – it’s more effective than anything I’ve ever seen for burns. Erleen, AZ



My 72 year old father fell off a horse this weekend. He suffered a concussion and a cracked vertebra in his mid-back, along with many bruises, scraps, and sore joints. (We visited him in the hospital over the weekend, where my 8-year-old inevitably picked up an awesome case of pink eye!) He has been home from the hospital for two days and each day, I’m giving him an adapted ATT massage. He can only lie down on his back, and when he’s not lying down he has to wear a back brace to position his spine, leaving his back inaccessible. So, when we sit him up to put his brace on, I apply the ATT oils. As I write this, I can hear him snoring on the couch, which comforts me to no end because I know he’s had a very rough day of pain and nausea. He took a prescription pain killer this morning, not realizing that it would upset his empty stomach, which caused him to dry heave. I gave him a drop of DigestZen in his hand and made him lick it. He burped a few more times, and then said he felt better. I’ve also been applying Frankincense to the base of his skull and his feet to help the subdural hematoma from his head injury heal. And for good measure, I’ve been putting Cypress (for circulation since he isn’t moving around much!) and DigestZen on his feet too. Now, for an old cowboy that is skeptic of everything, and wouldn’t believe in what he calls “new age medicine” if it saved his life, I think I’ve made a believer out of him! Every time I give him oil for one thing or another, his reply, within minutes is, “That’s better.” After I give him a massage, he says, “That’s the best I’ve felt all day,” and continues to say it for several hours. Now that he’s finally sleeping, and snoring rather than moaning, I know he’s not just saying it to make me feel good. No amount of the prescriptions the doctor ordered have provided that much comfort and relief! Kyle, MT
