WHY I PASSED ON YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS

WHY I PASSED ON YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS This
may come as a jolt to my doTERRA friendsprepare
yourselvesbut I used to love Young Living oils
(blush). I was even an avid Gary Young fan (oh
remorse). Fortunately, just as I was gearing up
to attend the 2013 Young Living convention, I
had a candid conversation with my sister (the
skeptic in the family) that started me down a
path of research and realization. (I hate it when
my sisters right). Heres what I discovered so
you can avoid making my embarrassing
mistake. The Founder is a Criminal Gary Young has
a very colorful past. I didnt want to believe it
at first, but the police records and court
documentation is all legitimate. The first three
arrests occurred back in 1981, 1983, and
1988when Gary Young consistently practiced
medicine without a license (he only has a high
school diploma). Gary Young served a total of
120 days in jail and spent two years on
probation. Then in 1993 Gary Young was arrested
in Fife, Washington, for setting up an
unlicensed medical practice. This time he plead
guilty to the charges. In response to Gary
Youngs less-than-ethical business practices,
Young Living notified Gary Young of his imminent
termination as CEO. This is where things get
bizarre. Police documents and court records give
a detailed account of how Gary Young broke into
the Young Livings premises and threatened
multiple employees (including family members)
with an axe. He had to be forcibly detained by
police, and the Superior Court of Washington
issued both Youngs family and his employees
protective orders due to Garys violent behavior.
True story. Seed to Seal is a Sham Young
Living loves to boast that they control the
entire process from Seed to Seal, but the
numbers simply dont add up. Consider this Young
Living only maintains seven farms while still
claiming to grow 90 different oils (for
approximately 3 million distributors). Theres no
way those limited hectares could produce their
entire line of products. Young Living actively
hides the fact that they outsource many of their
oils. Which makes me wonder, who are these
shadow growers and distillers? Can they be
trusted? In stark contrast, doTERRA is fully
transparent in their partnering with hundreds of
fair trade co-ops in over 33 different
countriesoften relying on small, community-run
farms to grow plants in their indigenous
locations (because location key in plant
potency). The Evacuation

• Some people refer to this transition as an
  exodus but honestly, it was more of an
  evacuation. Emily Wright, Dr. David Hill, Greg
  Cook, and David Sterling left Young Living after
  repeatedly witnessing Gary Youngs alarming lack
  of ethics. For example, Gary Young claimed in
  Young Living seminars to have performed
  life-saving surgeries!? This, from a man who only
  has a high school diploma!? I say bravo to the
  doTERRA execs for putting their conscious ahead
  of their financial security and walking away.
• More Isnt Merrier.
• When it comes to oils, I appreciate that doTERRA
  puts purity over profit by focusing on 40 oils
  instead of the 90 that Young Living mass
  produces. This may sound a bit counterintuitive,
  but consider which restaurant you would trust
  more one with dozens upon dozens of entrees or
  one with a selective list.
• Whose ingredients do you think will be the most
  fresh? Which dishes will be the most refined?
• Likewise, when you consider how much time and
  rigorous testing it takes to secure its CPTG
  certification, I love that doTERRA doesnt spread
  their resources too thin.
• Counting the Cost
• I approach essential oil pricing like I do at
  Costco (ahh...the magic of unit pricing). So
  thats another big plus when it comes doTERRA
  oils. Lets say you were looking for a generic
  starter kit with about 7 oils. Youd probably
  compare Young Livings Everyday Oils Kit (6,
  5-ounce blends and 4, 5-ounce oils Wholesale
  cost 130) to doTERRAs Introductory Essentials
  Mood Management Kit (5, 15-ounce blends and 3,
  5-ounce oils Wholesale cost 20
• 115 135). With doTERRA youd 25ml more. Worth
  the extra 5? You bet!
• Spurious Marketing
• Young Living has a history of bold-faced lies.
  Its a habit that started with their founder and
  continues to this day.
• In 1983, Gary Young claimed in flyers that he
  graduated from the The American Institute of
  Physioregenerology. Yet according to the
  Institutes founder, Gary Young was a dropout.
  He never completed 2/3rds of his coursework and
  owed a significant amount in tuition.
• In a brochure from 1987, Gary Young stated that
  his paralysis was healed by Oscillation
  Frequency Infusion, alone. In the 90s, his story
  conveniently changed. He now claims that his
  recovery was solely due to essential oils and
  fasting.
• Gary Young touts he received the Humanitarian
  Award from the State Medical Examiners Office
  of Baja, California. The State Medical

• Examiners Office has flatly denied that they
  have ever awarded Gary Young anything.
• Gary Young asserted he trained in aromacology
  from the Royal Masonic Hospital in London. The
  Royal Masonic Hospital stated that they have no
  record of Gary Young at all.
• Up until 2002, Young Livings website boasted
  that Gary Young was Utah Certified Neuropath.
  The Utah Division of Occupational and
  Professional Licensing (UDOPL) contacted Young
  Living and insisted that the statement be
  removed. You can still find this blatant lie on
  Gary Youngs personal website.
• Wrap Up
• Ultimately, I am relieved to now secure my oils
  from an organization named one of Americas
  Best Employers by Forbes. Every time I rub
  lavender oil on my toddlers feet, I know that I
  can trust both doTERRAs products and their
  roots.
• And that, my friends, is why I chose doTERRA.
