Some of the information I am sharing with you today in Part 2 of our discussion of Essential Oils Cancer Research comes from Nicole Stevens‘ publication called:  Essential Oil Cancer Research.  To order a copy of her work and to see the results of the screening, go tohttp://www.essentialeducators.com
               Keep in mind that when I am discussing the effectiveness of essential oils in a therapeutic environment, I am not talking about oils that you can purchase at a health food store or online that say things on the label like:  “For External Use Only”.  These oils are not therapeutic grade, even if they say they are 100% pure and organic.  Please refer to my earlier blog “Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils” for a more indepth explanation of the differences.
              In Nicole Stevens‘ Essential Oils Screening Study, 69 oils were tested.  Of the 69 oils tested, 58% were active against at least one of the cancer cell lines by at least 70%.  Thirty-four percent of the 69 oils were observed to inhibit one or more of the cancer cell lines by at least 50%, while not affecting the healthy 3T3 control cells by more than 25% – indicating a cancer-specific inhibition.  Seven oils demonstrated inhibitory action against two or more cancer cell lines.
               Of particular interest in the study were essential oils that did not inhibit healthy cells while they did inhibit the cancer cells – as some of the problems with cancer drugs is, they can be very toxic to non-cancerous cells in the body.
               According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference it is important to note that many natural therapies – especially those using essential oils – work best in the early stages of cancer.  In fact, citrus oils, high in d-limonene, including orange, grapefruit and tangerine, work better as cancer preventatives than cancer treatments, although they have been shown to have powerful anti-cancer properties on all stages of cancer.
               The Essential Oils Desk Reference also states that a 1996 study at Charing Cross Hospital in London, UK, achieved close to a 15% remission rate in patients with advanced colon and breast cancer using doses from 1 to 15 grms of d-limonene from orange oil as their only treatment.  In patients with only weeks or months to live, limonene treatment extended patients’ lives by up to 18 months in some cases (Vigushin DM et al.)
              Emotions play a huge role – in fact, it is suggested that emotions can contribute to the onset of disease and may enhance its spread.  Any kind of negative emotion – anger, fear, rage helplessness, abandonment – can worsen a cancer prognosis and hasten its spread.  Essential oils used as the core of an emotional treatment program can have powerfully positive effects in improving emotions and potential disease outcomes.  Essential oil blends, such as Young Living’s White Angelica, Release, Grounding, Inner Child, Trauma Life, Peace and Calming and SARA can be a tremendous help when used as the core of any emotional treatment regimen.  You can search the product catalog to see more about these oils here.
              In my next post, we will be talking about using therapeutic grade essential oils for emotional health – not only critical when battling cancer, but also as a preventative from many other diseases, including cancer.
