It may be a reference to the high frequency with which the sellers make exaggerated or unprovable claims about their products. These are my opinions only, but they’re almost always correct. "My theory of evolution: I think Darwin was adopted." – Steven Wright (no relation)

> Pure essential oils have very High Frequency.
Please explain what you mean by "High Frequency". Do you mean "frequency" in the herzian sense? …and why would essential oils from disparate botanical origins (thus, with widely varying chemical compositions) just happen to share such a property? Sounds likely to be quackery to me, but I’m open to evidence – or, at least, a credible clarification -Phipps
Essential Oils are centered around the ancient art and science of Aromatherapy, which have a biblical foundation thousands of years before Christ! They are 100% Pure Organic and are immune-stimulating, anti-microbial, anti-cancerous, anti-viral, anti-tumoral, etc. Essential oils transport nutrients and oxygen into the cell to help the body against the ravages of microbial mutations and degenerative disease. Pure essential oils have very High Frequency. They also have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man. Much research has shown that certain frequencies can prevent disease and that others would destroy disease. Essential Oils create an environment in which disease, bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. cannot live. I have used pure peppermint oil for energy and I rub a drop or two on the back of my neck to cool myself off in the summer. I instantly have relief from the heat. Lavender oil helps my sinuses, headaches and insomnia. This is a remarkable product. For a good source of Pure Essential Oils,
Sorry, but MWY extract does not bring DHEA levels up. It is a source for the synthesis of DHEA. It has other beneficials effects, but once again it does NOT raise DHEA levels. Any MWY cream that does raise DHEA levels must have DHEA in it (the same goes for progesterone levels). – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Hi Elizabeth, > I hope you received the information I forwarded to you by email.

Hi – there are lots of websites with this information. Altho most are trying to sell their own versions of it, the information can still be valuable. Wild yam cream helps symptoms of hormone imbalance which can include insomnia, panic, the PMS need to just scream. It’s worked very well for me. Others say that progesterone cream is the way to go – that’s progesterone produced in a laboratory from wild yam or soy beans and then added to a cream.

It seems that both DHEA and progesterone seekers have looked to wild yam. For myself – the results I get from DHEA and from yam cream are very different. I thought the "active" ingredient, at least in terms of that used for progesterone manufacture, is diosgenin. Anybody??

Wild yam root does NOT contain DHEA. Wild yam root contains a compound that must undergo approx. 6 chemical transformations to create DHEA. There is no evidence the body is able to do these chemical transformations. All research to date has been done using DHEA, not wild yam root. It’s bogus! This cream probably has little value beyond the effects of the cream (oils) itself. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->> I’ve come across Wild Yam Root Cream at a local aromatherapy shop, but am >> not really clear on all the uses for the cream.

Judy, this is not accurate. Discorea, the active ingredient in wild yam, is a precursor to DHEA but is _not_ DHEA. Its ingestion does not guarantee its use in making DHEA either, which is why it is considered to be more safe than laboratory DHEA supplementation. The adrenal hormones are two steps removed from wild yam extract, as the body must decide first to make the DHEA and then to synthesize whichever hormones are being requested at that time. –Noel

You are talking about DHEA as found in Wild Yam root extracts. I have been in hormone therapy for the past year for a high DHEA level and no one, even my doctor, provided me such clear information as to what DHEA actually does. I have never seen anyone elso who knew about this hormone. Thank you for the information and the peace of mind. Elizabeth Gibbs

I’ve come across Wild Yam Root Cream at a local aromatherapy shop, but am not really clear on all the uses for the cream. The label says that Wild Yam is a natural source of a progesterone precurser (diosgenin) that matches the composition of the body’s progesterone, but doesn’t say much else about applications other than apply twice daily to parts of the body where fatty deposits are found, e.g. thighs, back of arms, breasts. Can someone share a bit more info. on other applications and possible benefits of use over a period of time. Many thanks. Elizabeth

What a nasty mean-spirited little man you have shown yourself to be. I cobstantly come across your vile little attacks on people. Do you have nothing better to do than to attack others all day long? Get a life.

Wow just developed my first cold sore and it’s not fun!! Any ideas re something other that Acyclovir.??? Thanks
I assume you’re referring to a herpes type cold sore, one that manifests as a clump of little blisters and hurts like the dickens for a week or more. I’ve had good results with a mixture of essential oils in rubbing alcohol; about 4 drops each of Bergamot, Eucalyptus, and Tea Tree oil in about a tablespoon of alcohol. Mix well and dab a drop on the sore as often as needed. It really slow them down if you can start putting it on as soon as you notice that itchy/tingling feeling that indicates an outbreak is on the way. It seems to help already existing sores heal faster and be less painful too. (I got this from an aromatherapy book, so I don’t claim credit.) Also, if you’re taking supplements, watch out that you’re not taking something with the amino acids that cause flare-ups. I never can remember which ones, but I’m sure someone out there will post it. I didn’t know this and took something that had the wrong a.a. in it and woke up the next morning with the largest, most awful cold sore I’d ever had!

Just want you all to know that complaints to postmasters work. This in my mailbox from a large provider, when they received a forwarded post containing an ad in our newsgroup: "Thanks for letting us know about this. As this user has made such posts repeatedly, we have disabled their account, and will not reenable it until we are certain they understand Netiquette and our policy." It works, it’s fairly painfree, it is a tiny amount of sweeping up to do. Complain about an ad today! —

offenders account has been terminated. As Paul so rightly points out it is so painless for us and because of the number of complaints that the postmaster gets somthing is done QUICKLY. Hopfully postmasters around the web will find cluttering up precious band width. I keep my advertising on my web pages so people can CHOOSE to have a look at what I do rather than having it thrust down their modems throats. Regards Graham > —

The big problem is that there are now so many bozos posting ads to misc.health.alternative (indeed all of USENET), that new bozos can (quite convincingly) say "I saw lots of other similar ads here, so I thought it was an OK thing to do." — Steve Dyer
>The big problem is that there are now so many bozos posting ads to >misc.health.alternative (indeed all of USENET), that new bozos can >(quite convincingly) say "I saw lots of other similar ads here, so >I thought it was an OK thing to do." This is absolutely true, Steve. In fact, I received just such a response from one of these ‘hucksters’ the other day who claimed that they had read the group for some time and felt their ‘contribution’ fit right-in. Usually, I get the "Sorry, I didn’t know"…less commonly, the defensive "It’s none of your business" and the "We offer help to those who need it" (which I received just yesterday)…and amazingly, one that just ‘arrived’ as I’m writing this (re: DHEA)! Frankly, while I _always_ send a copy of my complaint to the respective postmaster, I haven’t had the ‘luck’ that people are reporting. IOW, the carriers are less responsive than they should be…IF it made a difference to them. Only Prodigy (1x) has ever responded personally saying that the person who advertised has been ‘notified.’ AOL…an automated response saying how to ’sign-up’ and ‘how busy they are’ in terms of responding to complaints. Netcom…nothing. This is almost more distres- sing than the individual advertisers…since at this point, Usenet is pretty much dependent on self-policing….apparently. JB.
I disagree. I don’t mind seeing ads on newsgroups. I don’t find it difficult to simply not read the posts that I’m not interested in, and I’m glad for ads which make products available at better prices than are available other places. I wonder how many people who complain about ads are competitors who don’t like the competition.
>I wonder how many people who complain about ads are competitors who don’t >like the competition.
I wonder how many people who support it want to advertise? I hate advertising in a place where it doesn’t belong. And they don’t say ADVERTISEMENT: in the subject. Businesses don’t own the whole world. I can see them trying to advertise in bibles if that was tolerated too.
