The Seriousness of Black Mold

thank you to Kathy Kowe and Believe Essentials for such a well put together packet on info on mold!

Black Mold

Gary and Mary’s son Josef got sick and was hospitalized back a couple of months
ago,
and the doctors did not know what was wrong with him. Gary flew home from Ecuador
and found Josef very sick with a high fever that they could not break. They could
not
do anything else for him and wanted to do more testing and Gary said he wanted to
take
him home. He got permission and he told the doctor if he got worse he would bring
him
back.
This is what Gary found out from the blood test that he did on Josph when he got
him home.
He found that his blood was infected with black mold. So he gave him
8cc myrrh
2 cc oregano
5 cc tee tree
5 cc eucalyptus Globulus
as a rectal implant and again in two hours. In 10 minutes his fever broke and it
continued to
drop until it was normal . Five days later up and running around.
Children under two years old when infected with Black Mold usually die and also
the elderly. How
do you protect yourself.
Most people think that if they find Black Mold in their hourse that they can get
rid of it by using bleach
but that does not work because all it does is cause you to breath in more toxins
while you are cleaning
then the mold grows back.
So now you are saying what can we do then. This is what Gary and Mary did when
they found that the
black mold was growing in their downstairs family room and pool area. They had
to tear out all the
sheet rock and before they replaced it, they washed down the whole wall with the
Thieves Household
cleaner and then they diffused thieves for 24 hours. Repeat if you feell it necessary
before you put new
sheet rock back up. Make sure that use clean all the studs in the wall, flooring
and so forth to get all the
mold. It would even help if you spray thieves all over the wall before you paint
to seal that in to kill the
black mold if it should ever try to come back.
Symptoms of Black Mold:
Sinusitis, cold-flu like systems, headaches, memory loss, chronic fatigue, cancer,
lung disease, digestive
problems, allergies, asthma, nail fungus, and etc.
Also it would be great to do the Raindrop Technique to purge the pathogenic fungi
out of the system.
Pathogenic microorganisms have a tendency to hibernate along the spinal cord and
in the lymphatic
system. The body has the aility to hold them in a ssuspended state for long periods
of time. When the
immune system becomes comprimised from stress, fatigue or other factors, they can
be released and
mamifest illness and disese.
Oregano, thyme, or hyssosp along the spine using the RDT may help to drive the dormant
fungi out of the
spinal fluid.
Lymphatic pump therapy will cleanse a sluggish lymphatic system and help remove
dorman fungi
Black Mold, is a toxic greenish black fungus found worldwide that colonizes particularly
well in high-cellulose material,
such as straw, hay, wet leaves, dry wall, carpet, wall paper, fiber-board, ceiling
tiles, thermal insulation, etc. The fungus
(black mold), before drying, is wet and slightly slimy to touch.

Bleach & Mold Myth Exposed

Chlorine Bleach (sodium hypochlorite 6%) does not kill mold. Why?
Mold’s (root structures) actually grow into wood and drywall like roots. The root
structues are not
killed by bleach because bleach’s ion structure prevents chlorine from penetrating
into porous materials such as dry wall and wood. It stays on the outside surface,
whereas
mold has protected enzyme roots growing inside the porous construction materials.
When you spray porous surface molds with bleach, the water part of the solution
soaks into the wood while the bleach chemical sits atop the surface, gasses off,
and thus only partially kills the surface layer of mold while the water penetration
of the building materials fosters further mold growth.
Chlorine bleach causes long term breakdown of wood products like studs, sheathing,
plywood, OSB,
and other building materials over time.
Chlorine Bleach is NOT a registered EPA mold killing product.
You can verify it yourself when you are unable to find an EPA registration number
for killing mold on
the label of any brand of chlorine bleach. Why not? Because it is not effective
at killing mold .
University Study Discovers Bleach is Ineffective at Killing Mold on Wood and Other
Porous Surfaces
“While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on wood and other
porous surfaces,
our [university research study] study results illustrate that the treatment does
not eliminate the surface microflora,”
is the conclusion of the Oregon State University study of the effects of chlorine
bleach on mold growth on Douglas
fir wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon]. The research study was
conducted by Professor Jeffrey
Morrell, Dept. of Wood Science, Oregon State University, as assisted by Adam Taylor
[graduate research assistant]
and Camille Freitag [Senior Research Associate], as published in Forest Products
Journal, 54:4, 2004.

Mold Heath Effects and Information

By: Dr. Peter Gamnet, M.D., Allergist
Airborne mold mycotoxins from certain types of mold can be extremely dangerous to
your health. Sometimes, people are unaware that they are breathing mold spores until
they are very sick. If you are lucky and have a minor allergic reaction to the mold,
once you leave the affected area you will recover. But, if you have been exposed
to the dangerous kinds of spores from the black mold, you can have chronic bronchitis,
learning disabilities, mental deficiencies, heart problems, cancer, multiple sclerosis,
chronic fatigue, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple chemical sensitivity,
bleeding lungs and much more. I want to educate people on household mold.
Read the next paragraph too I couldn’t get it to change color.
Many people are confused about the damage mold can cause due to various controversial
data on this subject. As most know, many molds can cause allergens that can affect
some of the population, but some molds can also cause toxins, which can affect everyone.
These toxins and the damage they cause are one of the greatest health hazards of
this century. Approximately 25 million Americans suffer from allergic reactions
to molds, most of them don’t even realize that when they’re sneezing and sniffling
the cause could be from fungi. The molds that produce airborne toxins that can cause
serious symptoms, such as breathing difficulties, memory and hearing loss, dizziness,
flu-like symptoms, and bleeding in the lungs. Common ailments from toxigenic mold—including
allergies (hypersensitivity after initial toxicity), acid reflux, brain fog, sexual
dysfunction, high blood pressure, head sweats, asthma and bruising—usually can
be treated and reduced after people leave their contaminated environment. Sometimes
medication, diet, and other treatment protocols are necessary. But other health
problems may remain permanently, such as brain damage and weakened immune systems.
Eyesight, memory, coordination/balance, and hearing are generally the most common
residual effects that do not improve after treatment. Currently, the United States
Government has failed to establish exposure limits on toxigenic molds which has
made it very difficult for the public to fully comprehend the danger of elevated
mold counts with indoor fungal exposure.
Fungus reproduces into spores that come in many different sizes, shapes and colors.
The spores will reproduce and germinate into new mold growth which in turn can produce
millions of more spores. Molds are most prevalent from spring through late fall,
but, in warm climates, molds thrive all year and can cause year-round problems.
After limited exposure, spores can colonize in the body as this is a perfect breeding
ground to live and reproduce.
Molds can be found wherever there is moisture, oxygen, warmth and something to feed
on. In the fall, they grow on rotting logs and fallen leaves, especially in moist,
shady areas. In gardens, they can be found in compost piles and on certain grasses
and weeds. Molds grow in our homes in moist warm areas like damp basements, closets,
and bathrooms, even after the moisture has dried up. Also molds can grow in places
where fresh food is stored, refrigerator drip trays, house plants, humidifiers,
garbage pails, mattresses, upholstered furniture, or foam rubber pillows. Molds
can grow inside the walls and flooring of our homes, wherever there are wet cellulose
materials they can feed on, such as wood, ceiling tiles, or plasterboard, even if
they are not visible. This is very common if there has been a plumbing leak or a
defective or worn roof.
Molds come in thousands of different varieties, but only a few are the offenders
that invade our homes.
The most dangerous mold strains are: Chaetomium (pronounced Kay-toe-MEE-yum) and
Stachybotrys chartarum (pronounced Stack-ee-BOT-ris Schar-TAR-um) as they have
been proven to produce demylenating mycotoxins among others, meaning they can lead
to autoimmune disease. Under certain growth and environmental conditions, both of
these fungi release toxic, microscopic spores and several types of mycotoxins that
can cause the worst symptoms which are usually irreversible such as neurological
and immunological damage. Some of these natural mycotoxins are potent inhibitors
of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, and have been well studied in animal models
because of concern about their potential misuse as agents of biological warfare,
due to their ability to destroy human health (mentally and physically), and never
show up in an autopsy.
In some people, symptoms of mold allergy can be worsened by eating foods, such as
cheeses, that are processed with fungi. Other foods like mushrooms; which have gills
that attract viruses, fungi, and other invaders, dried fruits, and foods containing
yeast, soy sauce; which obtains its unique flavor from Aspergillus, or vinegar can
also produce allergic symptoms. Avoid these foods if you suspect any mold allergies,
or have suffered from prolonged exposure to toxigenic molds, and have yourself checked
for leaky gut syndrome by a knowledgeable physician.
What you can do to fix your mold problem
Fix leaking faucets or pipes that could be dampening walls.
Install air conditioning in your home because this dries the air out, making it
more difficult for mold to survive.
Install a dehumidifier in your home an/or basement
Find the sources of you mold problem (leaky basement, pipes, roofing, poorly installed
windows, etc. repair them)
Check houseplant soil, make sure it is not always very damp.
Keep firewood outside. Keep your basement as dry as possible.
You may want to keep an air purifier in your basement.
Clean the bottom of your refrigerator, and underneath it. Clean up all water damage
quickly.
If your carpet, walls or any flooring is in a flood get an experienced flood specialist
to dry it up for you.
Any dampness left can cause mold to grow in your walls or under your carpet.
When water is left to sit, for even 24 hours, common molds can begin to grow.
If water continues to sit and areas become completely saturated, more lethal molds,
such as Stachybotrys, can begin to grow.
Some molds adapt to low temperatures), some are thermo tolerant (they adapt to a
wide range of temperatures) and some will (adapt to high temperatures). Depending
on the species, these microbes will grow just about anywhere. Not even a fire in
excess of 500 degrees Fahrenheit has been able to destroy some molds such as Stachybotrys,
(Molds, Mycotoxins, and Human Health; 2000, Dr. Michael Gray). Mold requires a
compatible temperature for each species. Environmental factors (temperature, nitrogen,
oxygen, etc. ) are necessary compounds for indoor molds to thrive.
Mold also needs an organic source of food. People might be confused as mold can
grow on glass, tile, stainless steel, cookware, etc., but it is generally feeding
off of some organic source deposited on this material (oils, film, dirt, skin cells,
etc. ). The fiberglass insulation people like to say that mold does not grow on
their product which is a fairly true statement, however, it grows on the organic
debris that become trapped in their products. Mold also grows on things such as
wood, fabric, leather, gypsum, fiberboard, drywall, stucco, and many insulation
fibrous materials. All molds require some form of moisture to grow however, like
temperature, the amount of moisture varies for different species. Some are xerophillic
(colonize under very dry conditions) some are xerotolerant (colonize under a wide
range of moisture levels) and some are hydrophilic (colonize at high moisture levels).
It does not have to be a leak. Humidity or moisture content of the substrate can
often be sufficient (relative humidity 50% start becoming problematic in many indoor
cases.) It can spread very easily through any HVAC system.
Mycotoxins are examples of chemical substances that molds create generally as secondary
metabolites, thought to possibly play a role in either helping to prepare the substrate
on which they exist for digestion, as defense mechanisms. They are also found in
small particulates at times which may often represent mold dust, small particles
of mold that has dried and turned to dust. Spores, when inhaled, can begin to colonize
in the sinuses and throughout the body, including the brain, lung and gut after
a period of time.
Sick buildings are one of the major causes of fungal illness, primarily mycotoxicosis,
in industrialized nations today. The United States is the least developed in fungal
illness research and sadly, most American physicians have little or no education
in treating this health crisis. The average American physician knows only how
to identify a mold hyphae under a microscope, at best. Mycotoxicosis, often mistakenly
called Toxic Mold Syndrome, has reached epidemic proportions at a national level
in the United States due to defective construction, lack of education, shoddy and
inappropriate building materials, ignorance, lack of government concern and involvement.
Can I fix the problem myself? Yes tear out your walls and replace with new but
first wash with the Thieves Household Cleaner at a very strong strength. and then
diffuse Thieves for 24 hours before putting up the new walls.
Then spray thieves on them and paint to keep it from coming back on the new wall.
MOLDS:
1. Aspergillus parasiticus is a soil-borne fungus growing on both living and decaying
plant matter.
2. This mold produces mycotoxins as metabolic by-products.
3. One mycotoxin, aflatoxin BI has been identified as being the most toxic, carcinogenic,
hepatotoxic and potentially mutagenic.
4. Dr. Radwan Farag found that clove oil at only 6-8 parts in 10,000 totally inhibited
mold and aflatoxin production.
CLOVE OIL is in the blend of Thieves. See the effects of Thieves on Aerosol-borne
Bacteria
BACTERIA COUNT(CFU) STARTING AT 0 TO 4500
1. With the bacteria of M. Luteus it was around 4100 and after using Thieves the
count dropped to around 700
2. With P. aeruginosa it was around 2000 and after using Thieves it dropped to
1
3. With S. aureus it was around 2300 and after using Thievers it dropped to 1000.
NOW THE EFFECT OF TIME ON BACTERIA COUNTS:
THE BACTERIAL COUNT (CFU) 0 TO 10000
1. Bacteria starting out at 10000 at zero minutes
2. After 3 minutes of diffusing it dropped to 5000
3. After 6 minutes of diffusing it dropped to 800
4. After 9 minutes of diffusing it dropped to 2
5. After 12 minutes of diffusing you can hardly see it

Testimonials

THIEVES FOR MOLD
DI Arlene J shared by phone that she has a serious allergy to mold,
and that every day she wakes up with sinus congestion. After reading Ed & Jacqui
Close’s article on Thieves and Mold she began putting
Thieves on her feet at night, and for several mornings she awoke with a
clear head!
****************
MOLD IN AN OLDER HOME
We recently moved from California to Utah into a home that was built in the 1880’s.
It wasn’t until I was deep cleaning that I realized there were some serious mold
issues!!
I got some samples, had them tested and there were several strains of molds, common
and not-so common. We’d moved to an area that had no other homes available for rent
and I was panicked, since I’m extremely sensitive to mold, having been ‘poisoned’
by black mold about 10 years ago. There was nowhere else to go while our home is
being built.
I immediately got our my Thieves Cleaner, Thieves Oil, Diffuser, rubber gloves and
face mask! I sprayed the Thieves Cleaner straight onto the affected areas and just
left it for several hours. I began diffusing Thieves Oil – and did so for the next
48 hours. In the basement, where there was alot of mildew and mold, I sprayed a
mixture of Thieves Oil, Thieves Cleaner and grain alcohol directly onto the brick
walls. Then I left the house to rest.
The next day when I came back, the black mold in the cupboards that had been so
unsightly had almost disappeared. I sprayed the affected areas again, soaking liberally,
and wiped them down after a few minutes. The mold is gone! In the basement, the
same thing had happened. I re-sprayed with my mixture and it is also GONE!
I coaxed the carpet cleaner to use my Thieves Cleaner instead of his citrus stuff
(which I have an allergy to!). He reluctantly did so and was thrilled and amazed
at how clean the carpets were. I was so happy, because they were disinfected, smalled
great and are so soft now.
I continue to diffuse Thieves, Purification and Eucalytpus a couple of times a week.
The mold issues are gone. I can breathe without any problems. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!

MOLD IN THE SHOWER
Because of the unusual wet fall, winter, and spring we have had and the leaking
shower head in our bathroom, we got a lot of black mold in our shower. All of the
cocking was totally black. Any cracks in the tile grout were black. The fiberglass
bottom of the shower had black growth also.
A friend of mine just bought an older home. She told me how she totally cleaned
the moldy shower in the house she just bought. She removed the caulking with black
mold on it. She scrubbed the entire shower, then sprayed chlorine bleach all over
the shower, She sprayed an extra amount where the old caulking was to make sure
the mold was completely gone. She let it dry a day, then re-caulked it with new
silicone caulking. She was so excited that her shower looked new again.
When she came to help me do the same with my shower, She said the only thing that
will completely get rid of the black mold is chlorine bleach. She knew I didn’t
want to use anything that would harm my body by breathing it in or leaving a residue
in the shower.
We first removed all the caulking with a flat head screwdriver, then we tackled
the cleaning job. I made up a strong solution of Theives Cleaner. I used 3 tablespoons
of Theives Cleaner per one 32 ounce sprayer bottle of filtered water. We cleaned
the entire shower with the cleaner. She was amazed that the cleaner cleaned so
well. Were able to get stubborn soap scum off the tiles by spraying it with Theives
Cleaner, then scrubbing it with a #220 waterproof sandpaper. In the hard to get
crack areas we used a stiff scrub brush and an old toothbrush.
After we totally cleaned the shower and washed it down, we sprayed all the areas
to be caulked with Theives Cleaner. We let the shower dry over night, then caulked
it with new silicone caulking. The shower looks great!
My friend was absolutely amazed that we did not need to use chlorine bleach. She
said, ‘that Thieves Cleaner is amazing. It works better than 409, Windex, and chlorine
bleach. I am going to get some.’
It is exciting to know I can clean anything with Theives Cleaner and I don’t have
to jepradize my health because of it. Thank you YOUNG LIVING. Sherry Huntting

MOLD IN THE BATHROOM
Diffusing Thieves oil has helped me conquer the mold problem I was having in my
bathroom. I first cleaned up the walls as best I could. Then diffused the Thieves
oil for at least 24 hours in the bathroom. I kept the bathroom door closed to keep
the diffusion in the bathroom. It has been 5 months and there is no sign of the
mold! Before I did this diffusion process I was cleaning this funky mold off the
walls twice a week. Katie Kastrup
****************
MOLD IN THE TOILET
I put a drop of Thieves oil in the toilet while we were away for a week and when
we returned the toilets looked like I had just cleaned them. Usually a pink tinge
from mold is at the water line and the bowl under the waterline is an even lighter
pink. Sparkling clean! Donna Dukart
****************
MOLD ON MY BOAT
As the environment is naturally moist on my boat especially in the early morning
hours, mold can be a problem. I noticed I started sneezing a lot when I was on
the boat and was curious why so I started looking for dust and pulled up everything
that wasn’t nailed down. When I noticed black splotches under cushions, which I
recognized as mold, I immediately cleaned them off with Thieves and vowed not to
have to deal with that again. I now diffuse Thieves everyday for at least 20 minutes
and have no more occurrence of the mold and have quit sneezing as well. Leigh

MOLD IN THE LUNGS
My client was exposed to mold while inspecting a building. Due to asthma he was
taken to emergency room several times for respiratory treatments. First he tried
diffusing RC and Eucalyptus radiata next to his bed and placing a couple of drops
into palms of his hands and sniffing frequently. This produced lots of mucus and
immediately he felt able to breathe better. Then we added Thieves to the regimen.
He used these for several weeks. The doctors continued using their treatments also.
He was scheduled to have his lungs scraped due to mold but when he arrived for the
final MRI to locate the spot his lungs were clear. Sue Fisk

PHEUMONIA 4-5 TIMES A YEAR FROM BLACK MOLD
Hi, I am new to Young Living Essential oils, but I am so thankful to have made my
way to good health using Thieves and RC. My husband died 2 years ago, and I have
been apparently holding onto a lot of grief in my chest.
I was also exposed to heavy, continuous doses of black mold which harmed and weakened
my lungs. I was sick most of last year (2007) with 5 bouts of pneumonia. I tried
taking many forms of herbal capsules (garlic, echinacea, golden seal, zinc, vitamin
C, etc.) These herbs and supplements would help a little, but the first cold or
flu that was going around work, bamm, I would get the cold which would go right
into pneumonia.
Last year was so awful with being sick constantly. I have gained 40 pounds because
I don’t have the energy or stamina to run my normal 4 miles a day.
So after my 5 bout of pneumonia, I purchased the Thieves product line and my life
has been changed. I have not had a pneumonia or a cold now for 2 months. I have
been putting the Thieves oil on the bottom of my feet and I take 1 drop in my mouth
each morning. I also brush my teeth with the Thieves toothpaste and gargle morning
and evening with Thieves mouthwash.
Last month, whenever I would sense a scratchy throat or mucous in my sinus, I would
just put 1 drop of Thieves on my tongue and those cold symptoms would be immediately
gone.
I am so thankful for the Thieves oil and the RC (which I forgot to mention…I also
put the RC on the soles of my feet and my throat when I had a cold symptom.) I am
so grateful to the Young Living Essential oils. I am determined to make 2008 a healthy
year for me. These oils are a gift from God and I am most grateful to have my good
health restored to me.
Thank you, Young Living! Cheryl Scott RN, PhD

Thieves Blend

This blend was created from research about a group of

15th-century thieves who rubbed oils on themselves to

avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies

of the dead and dying. When apprehended, these thieves

disclosed the formula of herbs, spices, and oils they used

to protect them-selves in exchange for more lenient punishment.
This blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils was tested at Weber

State University in Ogden, Utah in 1997 the studies showed the

anti-bacterial effectiveness of the Thieves blend against airborne

microorganisms. One analysis showed a 90 percent reduction in

the number of gram positive Micrococcus luteus organisms after

diffusing Thieves for 12 minutes. Then after diffusing Thieves for

a total of 20 minutes, there was a 99.3 percent reduction. Another

study against the gram negative Pseudomonas Aeruginosa showed

a kill rate of 99.99 percent after just 12 minutes of diffusion of this blend.

The oils are highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectious

and helps to protect the body against such illnesses as flu, colds, sinusitis,

bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats, cuts, mold, etc.

What Oils are in Thieves:?

Clove: oil, nature’s riches source of eugenol, and is the highest-scoring single

ingredient tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale 1,078,700. Clove

is also known for its immune-enhanging properties. Its antiviral, antibacterial,

antimicrobial, and antioxidant.

Cinnamon Bark: has a reputation for relieving discomfort during the winter season

and supporting the digestive system, antibacterial, antiviral. ORAC sale of 10,340.

Eucalyptus Radiata: As one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils it has many

health-promoting properties. This powerful essential oil contains eucalyptol as
one

of its major elements, which in laboratory tests has been reported as being effective

against bacteria in topical applications.

Lemon:oils with 68% d-limonene is a powerful antioxidant known for its ability to

act as a natural solvent and cleanser. ORAC scale 660.

Rosemary: is naturally energizing and may be benefical for helping restore mental

alertness when experiencing fatigue, it also has antibacterial, antimicrobial properties.

ORAC scale 330.

***********************************************************************************

Again here is a run-down of the power of Thieves:

The story of thieves-evolution of the ultimate antiseptic.

Early history of thieves-story of the 14th century thieves

Clinical studies have shown that clove and its primary phenol, eugenol, kills:

60 different species of gram negative and positive bacteria

13 different fungi,

2 different viruses

clove oil at very small levels 0.06% totally inhibited toxic mold and aflaxtoxin
production

antiviral effects of eugenol strongly inhibits herpes simplex 1 and 2

significantly delayed the onset of herpetic lesions.

Tiny amounts of cinnamon bark decimate e-coli in only 2 hours

Cinnamon at 0.04% concentration completely stopped the growth of 35 different fungi

According to food microbiology clove, cinnamon and thyme had the most antimicrobial
effects

Thieves clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus radiata (more specific for virus-globulu
more specific for bacteria), rosemary-

In 1997 Sue Chao tested thieves at Weber State University for its antimicrobial
effects:

When diffused, thieves decimates 3 of the most common pathogenic bacteria

Killed over 99% of bacteria within 20 minutes. (micrococcus luteus)

The longer the oils was diffused , the greater the reduction in microorganisms.
The pathogens keep dying over time.

Keep two diffusers in the home. Better a diffuser in each bedroom, or on each level.
Run them on timers.

Evolution from thieves (1996) to triple O (2001)

Triple O had oregano and thyme and thieves blend (used at clinic)

Thieves wasn’t covering every microbe, so added oregano and thyme-greater effect.

Fungicidal activity of 72 oils against trichophyton mentagrophytes

Aldehyde oils,

alchool oils,

phenol oils,

ketone oils,

ether oils,

hydrocarbon oils,

ester oils (sedating to sympathetic nervous system-when dealing with virus)

Combination of phenolics and aldehydes

Cinnamaldehyde is both an aldehyde and a phenol

Clove contains antiviral and antibacterial phenolics known as phenylpropanoids

Thyme and oregano contain simple phenolics (thymol and carvacrol)

Thyme = 59%

Carvacrol from oregano kills spores from anthrax, e coli, against 25 different bacteria

Penicillin vs oregano

12 microliters of oregano had the antibacterial equivalence of 10 units of penicillin

antibiotics kill the bacteria, but wipe out good bacteria

Oregano vs penicillin

Harry Preuss, MD at Georgetown found oregano works as well as antibiotics on staphyloccus

Resisting infections

oregano- mice surived staph infections

Citronella-powerful antifungal aldehydes, 8 times the antimicrobial action as lemon
oil-more limonene

*********************************************************************************************************************

With children, you can put the essential oils on hands, apply to back, neck, feet,
and etc., or just hold the child in your hands and they will receive the benifit
of the oils. You can also dilute the oil for a body massage.

Why do Essential Oils Work and Work So Well for Humans?
To my surprise, studying mold and mold-related illness, and
understanding why oils have such a dramatic affect on mold, fungi, and
bacteria has supplied the answer to this long-puzzling question.
Perhaps you are not fully aware of what fungi, or molds and especially
toxic molds, do to the human body.
Mold Health Symptoms
Fungi can cause health problems to both humans and animals by several
different biological mechanisms
