Body Wrap/Detox/Fat Burning - Gary Young gave this recipe for a body wrap to burn fat that is being used at the Young Life Research Clinic.  It is showing tremendous results!  The Ledum is crucial - without it the recipe does not produce the desired results.  Wrap daily for a week for best results.

 

Essential oils of…

30 drops Ledum

15 drops Grapefruit

10 drops Lemon

10 drops Lemongrass

10 drops Cypress

and

4 oz. V-6 (carrier) oil

 

 

Apply to area(s) of concern and drive them in by wrapping with ace bandages (or a full to-the-knee girdle from Wal-Mart), then Saran Wrap, then blankets.  Keep on one hour to overnight.  Best benefits are reached when you hydrate with at least 16oz Master Cleanse before and keep hydrated during wrap.

 

The Stanley Burroughs Master Cleanse

 

This cleanse consists of drinking a mixture of lemon juice, distilled water, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper.  The recommendation so to drink half your weight in ounces per day; i.e., if you weigh 100 pounds, you should drink 50 ounces of this cleansing drink.

 

8 ounces of distilled water

The juice of 1/2 to 1 fresh lemon

1-2 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup

 (found at your local health food store, grade B

contains more minerals and is less refined than grade A)

1/8 -1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

 

It is recommended that you make enough of this drink in the morning to last the entire day.  If you are diabetic, molasses should be substituted of maple syrup.

 

The first two to four days are the most difficult, since you are overcoming the psychological need to eat.  Hunger normally fades in four to six days.  Along with your mix, drink plenty of distilled water.  you will also want to take supplements that include essential oils.

 

Lymphatic Cleanse:
Drink your 1/2 gallon of distilled water and oils daily.

3 drops cypress
1 drop orange
2 drops grapefruit

 

Folks, to sum it up on weight loss, obesity, and cellulite (FAT)...you MUST give your body ALL the ESSENTIAL Nutrients it needs - DAILY! This means stop spending money on foods with NO nutritional value!!!!  Our foods today are chemically altered, with very little to no nutrients.

Read This     Go Here    Getting Started Program

Our bodies are too bombarded with chemicals found in everything: soaps, perfume/cologne, lotions, toothpaste, drugs, sprays, household cleaners, air fresheners, make-up, etc.  Chemicals interfere with uptake of vital nutrients.  Without nutrients, are bodies go out-of-balance. 

Isn't TIME you start investing in YOU - Your Health?!

God did not make our bodies to consume chemicals!

Title: "Weight loss with Citrus Fresh and Grapefruit

Author: Tiffany Rowan, Posted: 2005-05-25

 

While I was in Dallas in January of 2003 to listen to Gary Young speak, I took notes of his recipe for weight loss. He said that saturation was the key to weight loss and cancer. He described how the body stores environmental toxins in our fat cells to save them from being deposited in our organs and wreaking havoc. Toxins saturate the cells with a filmy layer and prevent them from taking in nutrition. This continues a cycle where we grow more fat cells which can store more toxins and we keep getting larger and larger. We aren’t growing more blood veins to carry nutrition to these new outer layers of fat cells, and so we aren’t able to effectively loose weight at the rate we would like. Essential oils digest the filmy layer that saturate the cell wall and the essential oil’s high content of oxygen piggy backs nutrients into the cell.

I recognized most of the oils in his recipe were in the blend named Citrus Fresh. So I ignored his recipe and I bought Citrus Fresh, Grapefruit, Ledum and some capsules. The Citrus Fresh with Ledum breaks up the fat and the Grapefruit by capsule digests the fat. This is what I did according to memory. I am retelling this story a year and a half later. I lost almost three inches in six weeks. (That's all I had left to lose.) This happened in March/April of 2003. Please keep in mind that cellulite is literally toxins being stored in the fat cells. My experience may happen more quickly for me than for some of you because I have been using natural medicines, clean water, and natural personal care products for years. My body has not accumulated the type and amount of toxins that most people have. Please be patient if you have more to lose than I did or if it takes you longer because of the type of toxins you are carrying. Other people have tried to lose inches with Citrus Fresh and Grapefruit without adding the Ledum, or they tried these oils but they diluted them, or they tried using them sparingly. Saturation is the key. Follow this recipe

exactly or it won't work for you.

The first night I put
ten drops of Ledum into the bottle of Citrus Fresh. I swallowed two
capsules, 10 drops each, of Grapefruit. I dotted the bottle of Citrus Fresh about every inch apart across my hips and rounded belly. I wrapped myself in cellophane and went to bed. About two hours later I needed to pee. (Some of these oils are diuretics.) About two hours after that, I was awakened with the feeling that something had broken loose. I continued to feel this throughout the night for about four more times. I had to pee about every two hours, but returned to sleep quickly after each trip to the bathroom. (Try Citrus Fresh over the liver for a great night’s happy sleep).

The cellophane was D. Gary Young’s recommendation to keep the oils from evaporating and therefore working longer. It made me sweaty so I didn’t wear it any more after the first night.
For the next two weeks, I continued to generously dot the bottle of Citrus Fresh to my hips and belly and take the two capsules of Grapefruit. I noticed that my left hip was larger than the other because I couldn’t reach that side with my right hand. So I stopped putting the Citrus Fresh on the right side until I got the left side evened out. After two weeks, I went to one capsule of Grapefruit a night because I wanted the bottle to last me until the next month when I would order some more. After about the sixth week, I took one capsule every three days for maintenance, and I dotted the Citrus Fresh on about once every week. I became pregnant after that and discontinued both of these oils.

I lost almost three inches in six weeks. My skin firmed up nice and tight. My jaw line firmed up where I put the Citrus Fresh. The Grapefruit balanced out my hormones, and I began to have a regular menstrual cycle without pain or discomfort. This regimen did cause the cholesterol to come out in the form of acne, but I kept my complexion clean with lemon oil. (We now have a beauty serum oil for acne.) I only use Young Living brand essential oils because of their unadulterated purity. Young Living goes through long rigorous processes to guarantee that every bottle exceeds FDA standards and that the essence of every plant is still in tact. DON’T internally take oils from another company. They could harm you. My testimony is based on my experience with Young Living oils and their documented science. I don’t trust anyone else.

Nine months after I had my sixth child, I tried this again. The oils sent hormone messages which began my periods again. I had to wait till three months after breastfeeding ended before I could successfully try this again. Except this time I used Cel-Lite Magic. I cannot attribute my weight-loss to JUST Cel-Lite Magic because I began using Power Meal for breakfast, and began applying parts of Chronobiotic Nutrition (protein before 3 and carbs after 3 with no snacking after dinner). I do attribute ALL of my skin-firming and disappearance of spider veins to Cel-Lite Magic.

I need to continue to take Grapefruit by capsule if I still want pain-free and timely periods like I did during the first weight loss. See my PMS testimony about that. I take one capsule a week. My 14 year old daughter dots Grapefruit on her abdomen when period related cramps start. She applies it once the first two days of her period with relief within the first five minutes.

It takes a LOT of oil in the beginning, but I only need to put on oil once a week for maintenance; Citrus Fresh once every four days, and Grapefruit once a week, or the night I know I'm going tobe............(hushed tones)...........intimate with my man.  Grapefruit after this activity when the HgH is the highest is POWERFUL for burning fat.
 
Good stuff and quick results!  Depending on your size, you will see a significant result right at 30 days.  Yeah, baby!
 
Tiff in LR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I first bought the Grapefruit oil to loose weight, which I did, but to my surprise my muscles stopped aching. I have fibromyalgia and have lived with pain on a daily basis for the last 2 years.

I take 7-8 drops of
Grapefruit oil in water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Within 4 days of using the oil all my pain was gone. After about 2 months on the oil I went out of town for a wedding and forgot to bring my oil. After 3 days of not using the oil all my pain returned. After 2 days of being back on the oil all my pain disappeared again.

I have lost a total of 22" and 23 lbs since I started taking the oil 4 months ago.

I am forever grateful for learning about Young Living Oils.

Introducing HGH (Human Growth Hormone):

The Most Powerful Anti-Obesity Drug Ever Discovered!

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Lately I've been reading up on serotonin for a variety of reasons.

Interestingly enough low levels of serotonin relate to both anxiety as well as compulsive caretaking, depression and obesity.

Here are some interesting facts I've discovered about serotonin, an essential neurotransmitter in our brain chemistry:

1. The right amount of serotonin in the brain helps the brain relax, sets a positive emotional tone. It tells the limbic system to relax. We feel safe and nurtured, calm, comfortable and easily fulfilled.

2. Low amounts of serotonin in the brain make for an overactive limbic system. The person tends towards negative emotions (feeling worthless, pessimistic, guilty, overwhelmed and worried).

3. Low serotonin levels in the brain also can trigger people (especially girls and women) to become over responsive to the needs of others. Caretaking, nurturing, when it is in balance, stimulates the production of serotonin. (example: the symbiotic nursing mom and baby relationship...really any nurturing relationship.) This serotonin production is probably what compulsive over caretaking is seeking in order to produce a more optimal level of serotonin.

4. Serotonin production is enhanced in quality relationships which have plenty of giving and receiving. With low levels of serotonin the person feels she cannot relax and receive.

5. Low serotonin levels result in cognitive inflexibility or the inability to shift gears and let go of any expectations or beliefs.

6. Most overweight people have been found to have low levels of serotonin. They are often eating to soothe their overactive emotional brain centers. It is beyond logic and willpower.

7. Average and low weight people can be serotonin deficient as well. Their brains can trigger over thinking or overdoing. It depends on individual temperament.

8. Breakfast is essential for maintaining serotonin levels. Most serotonin is produced in the early morning hours. The pineal gland converts any extra serotonin into melatonin in the evening for a good night's sleep.

9. Women tend to be low in serotonin. One theory is that our current modern lifestyle is more in line with the male brain chemistry's need for dopamine producing activity (competition, mental stimulation, hyper-focus, fast pace). Women's brains need more serotonin producing activities such as nurturing, relating in a giving and receiving way.

10. Men's brains actually synthesize serotonin in the body 52% faster than women's brains and can store twice as much as well.

11. Low serotonin levels can be addressed with balancing brain chemistry through diet, exercise and lifestyle adjustments with emphasis on the morning hours.

12. Amino acid supplementation can be an alternative to drugs.  Tryptophan is the most important amino acid in serotonin production. Tryptophan rich foods include: milk, cottage cheese, eggs, poultry, red meats, soybeans, tofu and nuts especially almonds.

13. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a compound produced by the body from tryptophan, an amino acid found in many foods. 5-HTP can also be extracted from plants and is available as an inexpensive nutritional supplement which can help boost low serotonin levels.

14. Wolfberries (NINGXIA RED!) are a good resource for increasing serotonin in the body.
