Why Essential Oils Heal and Drugs Don’t ~
The Chemistry of Essential Oils / Made Simple
by David Stewart Ph.D., D.N.M.
If you tell most medical doctors that essential oils bring about healing with no negative side effects, they won’t believe you. This is because in medical school, students are repeatedly told by their professors that all effective medicines have negative side effects, and if they don’t then they can’t be effective.

End Quote:
Human nature cannot be studied in cities ..
except at a disadvantage —
a village is the place.
There you can know your man inside and out —
in a city you but know his crust;
and his crust is usually a lie.
– Mark Twain – Notebook #20, Jan. 1882 – Feb. 1883
The Spring Season is the time of rebirth and new beginnings ..
though with the tragedy in Boston .. let us also take time
to remember our neighbors and friends and family.
For we never know what tomorrow may bring.
Love is a symbol of eternity.
It wipes out all sense of time,
destroying all memory of a beginning
and all fear of an end. ~Author Unknown

We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird.Â
And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness –
and call it love – true love.Â
