Eldon and Nancy Knittle: Our Little Miracle
Eldon and Nancy
Knittle became associated with Young Living at its beginning.
Nancy said, "We started Young Living in the late 1980s.
Actually, it was not even officially Young Living then. At that
time, Gary Young had just started teaching seminars about
essential oils." Nancy continued, "Eldon first met Gary at a
hotel where he was lecturing."
Eldon added, "I
was attending a self-help seminar in the same hotel where Gary
was lecturing. I was walking down the hallway of the hotel and
met a friend who told me that she was attending a lecture by
Gary Young. It sounded interesting, so I went along. During a
break in the lecture, a woman fainted just outside the door to
the seminar. I was trained in reflexology and several other
healing modalities, so I started helping her.
Meanwhile
someone told Gary about the unconscious woman. He came
immediately. When I saw Gary, something clicked. It was one of
those experiences where the person you have just met immediately
seems like a dear friend. From that moment on, we have been
close friends."
Nancy said, "We
were both attracted to Young Living because of Gary and his vast
knowledge of essential oils. We had been working with
nutritional supplements for years, and it seemed like everyone
we were working with had reached a health plateau. With Young
Living products, everyone moved above the plateau and reached a
new level of health. Like Eldon, I sensed there was something
very special about Gary. We both believed in his vision and
mission right from the start. As the years have passed, we have
seen Gary accomplish his dreams and bring his goals to
fruition."
Nancy advises
new distributors not to get overwhelmed by the huge number of
products Young Living offers. She said, "We recommend that they
start simply with several products they need most and build from
there. As they use the products and have wonderful experiences,
they will be ready to begin to share with others."
Eldon has had
the opportunity to help Gary harvest the Idaho Balsam Fir at the
Young Living farm located about 35 miles south of the Canadian
border near Conner's Ferry. Eldon said, "Gary called me and
invited me to come and help with the Idaho Balsam Fir harvest. I
was thrilled to go. I love spending time with Gary because he is
so generous with his knowledge and I always learn so much."
He continued,
"I take every possible opportunity to be around Gary and Mary
Young. I have even been Gary's squire during jousting
tournaments. We have traveled with Gary to France and Egypt. In
fact, I was privileged to accompany Gary on one of his early
trips to France. Young Living offers so many great
opportunities—opportunities to gain greater physical, emotional,
spiritual and financial health."
Speaking about the value of using Young Living products with
animals, Eldon said, "Let me tell you about Boomer, our little
miracle dog. Boomer was paralyzed. We took him to a veterinarian
and he told us our dog needed immediate spinal surgery. I didn't
want to put my little dog through that kind of stress, so I took
Boomer home and gave him Young Living products and massaged him
with the essential oils. In only four days. Boomer was walking a
little, and in a month the dog was almost back to normal."
Nancy said,
"Gary and Mary Young are just like family to us. In fact, all of
Young Living is family to us."
Eldon added, "I
have such a high regard for Gary Young. He is my hero. We are so
blessed by being associated with Gary and Mary Young and
everyone at Young Living."
