Are Thievs Cleaning Products (essential oils) Really Safe? by Kirsten
When teaching people how to remove toxic chemicals from their home and cleaning products I always directing them to the environmental working group website (EWP) and their healthy living app, since labeling and reading ingredients can be tricky and lots of companies use “greenwashing” to make them seem safer and more natural than they really are. I trust the EWG to have up to date research and to help me make an educated and informed decision when choosing which products to use.
However, since I started using essential oils, I noticed that Young Living was coming out with more and more cleaning products. From household cleaner to laundry detergent, they seemed to have everything I needed, but they don’t appear in the EWG database, which concerned me, because I wanted to be able to check for myself if they were as safe and natural as they claimed.
After all, I can go to the grocery store to get cleaners that say all natural and actually aren’t, so I have no interest in purchasing them online. But, the good news, is that the EWG has a great database of chemicals, so you can look up the individual ingredients products contain, even if the product itself isn’t listed. But who has time for that??? You don’t! No worries. I did it for you, so you can finally know for sure…
Are Thieves products really safe?

How Deficiencies Can Create Disease
All the cells of the body need specific nutrition in order to survive and reproduce. They need in varying amounts depending on the cell involved, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins & minerals. If they don’t get the nutrition they need including the vitamins and minerals, they won’t be able to function properly.
Let’s take a made up example:
In order to remain healthy, this cell needs the X vitamin, the Y vitamin and the Z vitamin in varying amounts. It obtains these vitamins from the food the body eats.
But the person has bad dietary habits and goes to fast food restaurants and eats processed foods, which doesn’t provide much of the X vitamin. It may not even give the body any of the X vitamin. An X vitamin deficiency is created. Maybe not at first, but after months and years of getting too little of what is needed, the body has a deficiency of the needed X vitamin which will affect the functioning of the cell.
The person also smokes. The body uses the Y vitamin in order to capture and eliminate the various toxins inhaled while smoking. Thus, if the person doesn’t get enough of the Y vitamin, it cannot protect the body from the toxins and there will not be enough of the Y vitamins to give the cells what they need on a day-to-day basis to function properly.
Thus we have created deficiencies. The body needs these cells to be healthy in order to function properly. If the cells don’t function properly, the tissue and the organs made up of these cells don’t function properly.
What if the organ we are talking about is your heart? Or your brain? Or you digestive tract – which is responsible for getting all the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals delivered to the other cells of the body.
When the body is not functioning properly it is called disease. Disease is defined: “a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors.”
Infection? The body in order to fight the infection must use the Z vitamin, But, while using the Z vitamin to fight the infection, the body doesn’t have enough of the vitamin to give it to the cell that needs the Z vitamin to function properly. Thus, this deficiency will result in an incorrectly functioning organ.
There are many other examples. There are many deficiencies that can create so many problems in the body.

Eggs are a Real Health Food - How to know which ones to eat
Eggs are among the healthiest foods out there, but not all eggs are created equal, and sorting through the egg labels to identify the highest quality eggs can be a confusing affair.
-
Egg Crackdown,” a CBC Marketplace report, investigates the marketing of supermarket eggs and visits egg producers to get a firsthand look at what the company’s label actually means
-
Health conscious consumers know to look for designations like “organic,” “free-range,” “pastured” and “cage-free,” but while you may think many of these are interchangeable, they’re actually not
-
While organic poultry and eggs are guaranteed to be free-range, as required by organic standards, free-range poultry are not required to be organic
-
The organic label is the only way to ensure you’re getting eggs from chickens that have not been fed antibiotics for growth purposes, as this is not allowed under the organic standards
-
Overall, the cage-free and free-range labels say little to nothing about the conditions in which the chickens are raised. For the best quality eggs, from the most humanely-raised hens, the label you’re looking for is “organic” and “pastured”
