[Everything doTERRA] Re: oils in blood stream? FDA?

When I read and posted my reply to "oils in blood", I had just listened to Laura Jacobs "My Chemistry Made Me Do It" webinar where she mentioned FDA approval and labeling for internal consumption.  Essential oils aren't regulated, however my understanding is that doTERRA's labeing certain oils for internal consumption puts those oils into the Dietary Supplement category (FDA stance bottom).

The FDA does not "approve" dietary supplements or foods. They give approval for prescription and over the counter drugs. They do approve a list of ingredients called GRAS (generally recognized as safe) that are approved for use in food, cosmetic, and supplement products.

dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils exceed industry standards. Because organic certification varies from country to country, province to province, and in the US, from state to state, it is not currently possible to acquire all oils under certified organic status. However, through the GC/MS analysis process, we are able to determine if any chemical residue exists in the essential oil, e.g., pesticides, herbicides, extenders, and solvents. With this rigorous analysis process, we are able to ensure that all CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils offered by dōTERRA are absolutely pure as nature intended and a step above organic.

As far as determining the when and where of the blood slide, that info would have to be clarified by Dr Hill or someone whose asked him, I only know that everytime it's been referenced it's been with "stressed before" and 30 seconds later.

 

FDA regulates both finished dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients under a different set of regulations than those covering "conventional" foods and drug products (prescription and Over-the-Counter). Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), the dietary supplement or dietary ingredient manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement or ingredient is safe before it is marketed. FDA is responsible for taking action against any unsafe dietary supplement product after it reaches the market. Generally, manufacturers do not need to register their products with FDA nor get FDA approval before producing or selling dietary supplements.* Manufacturers must make sure that product label information is truthful and not misleading. Under the FDA Final Rule 21 CFR 111, all domestic and foreign companies that manufacture, package, label or hold dietary supplement, including those involved with testing, quality control, and dietary supplement distribution in the U.S., must comply with the Dietary Supplement Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPS) for quality control. In addition, the manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on the label of a dietary supplement marketed in the United States is required to submit to FDA all serious adverse event reports associated with use of the dietary supplement in the United States.

I love the Miracles book! ;-)   However I do have a question, not picking on you Mica, just want clarification. 

Are dōTERRA oils approved by the FDA?  OR are some of dōTERRA's oils from sources that are generally considered safe, therefore GRAS?  OR something else entirely?  It was my understanding that our oils aren't FDA approved, in large part because the FDA doesn't monitor essential oils.  Someone please clarify! ;-)

Thank you,

Becky

Some people will be sceptical, even with positive results.  A good source of visual examples is the "Miracles" book that was released at convention.  It contains stories and pictures that depict what happens when essential oils are applied to various open wounds, burns, and other issues that aren't easily identified visually (depression, chronic pain, etc).  Myoilbusiness.com covered a wide variety of issues in the book, and sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

Dr Hill's blood slides (discussed in webinars, pictured in various tear pads) show that when stressed, over-sugared, tired, or wounded our bodies become acidic environments and our blood cells bunch together (looks like a congested freeway).  When essential oils (they're alcaline) are applied, they free up the congestion and allow our blood cells to move as they should.  This is what helps facilitate the healing process.

 

If none of this helps, fall back on the fact that doTERRA essential oils have been approved for internal consumption by the FDA, hence the mandatory nutrional label on all of the essential oils that can be taken internally; including helichrysum &
frankinsence.

 

And if you can prevent it, keep him from putting Neosporin or Antibacterial cream/salve on the wound- but that's another story:)

My husband fell on his elbow Saturday and isn't converted overto the
oils yet. I tried getting him to letting me put helichrysum &
frankinsence on it to stop the bleeding & prevent bruising/swelling.
He didn't want the oils to get in his blood cuz we don't know hat it
does to it and if that's bad. What can I say to that? Any articles or
videos by Dr. Hill about this issue?
