VALUE OF THE ESSENTIAL 7 KIT:
Essential 7 Kit was created by Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils. The Kit contains three single oils: Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Lemon (Citrus limon) and Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and four oil blends: Joy, PanAway, Peace & Calming and Purification.
HOW TO USE YOUR ESSENTIAL 7 KIT:
Dietary Supplements: All single oils may be used as dietary supplements.
Diffuse: All of the oils may by diffused. The diffuser from YLEO is a special air pump that is custom designed to disperse the oils in a micro fiber vapor. This allows the oils to stay suspended in the air to reduce bacteria, fungi and mold. Diffusing also freshens the air with natural fragrances, eliminating the need for synthetic, harmful air fresheners. The diffuser disperses the oils without heat, which could render the essential oils less effective.
Direct Application: All of the oils can be applied to the Vita Flex points on the feet, added to bath water mixed with YLEO’s Bath Gel Base, applied topically or used with body and foot massage.
LAVENDER: (Lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin.

GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE USE OF YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS.
1. Always keep a bottle of V-6 Vegetable Mixing Oil, Massage Oil Base or any pure vegetable oil handy when using essential oils. Vegetable oils dilute essential oils if they cause discomfort or skin irritation.
2. Keep bottles of essential oils tightly closed and store them in a cool location away from light. If stored properly, essential oils will maintain their potency for many years.
3. Keep essential oils out of reach of children. Treat them as you would any product for therapeutic use.
4. Do not use essential oils rich in menthol (such as peppermint) on the throat or neck area of children under 30 months of age.
5. Direct sunlight and essential oils. Lemon, bergamot, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, White Angelica and other citrus oils may cause a rash or darker pigmentation if applied to skin exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays with 3 to 4 days of use.
6. Keep essential oils away from eye area and do not put into ears. Do not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential oils on fingers. Oils with high phenol content – oregano, helichrysum, cinnamon, thyme, clove. Lemongrass, bergamot, Thieves and ImmuPower – may damage contacts and irritate eyes.
7. Pregnant women should consult their health care professional before using essential oils containing constituents with hormone-like activity, such as clary sage, sage, Idaho tansy, juniper and fennel.
8. Epileptics and those with high blood pressure should consult their health care professional before using essential oils. Avoid using hyssop, fennel and Idaho tansy oils.
9. People with allergies should test a small amount of oil on a small area of sensitive skin, such as the inside of the arm, before applying the oil on other areas. The bottom of the feet is one of the safest, most effective places to use essential oils.
10. Before taking GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) essential oils internally, always dilute with an oil-soluble liquid like honey, olive oil or soy milk.
11. Do not add undiluted essential oils directly to bath water. Use Bath Gel Base as a dispersing agent for oils in the bath.

GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE USE OF YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS.
1. Always keep a bottle of V-6 Vegetable Mixing Oil, Massage Oil Base or any pure vegetable oil handy when using essential oils. Vegetable oils dilute essential oils if they cause discomfort or skin irritation.
2. Keep bottles of essential oils tightly closed and store them in a cool location away from light. If stored properly, essential oils will maintain their potency for many years.
3. Keep essential oils out of reach of children. Treat them as you would any product for therapeutic use.
4. Do not use essential oils rich in menthol (such as peppermint) on the throat or neck area of children under 30 months of age.
5. Direct sunlight and essential oils. Lemon, bergamot, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, White Angelica and other citrus oils may cause a rash or darker pigmentation if applied to skin exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays with 3 to 4 days of use.
6. Keep essential oils away from eye area and do not put into ears. Do not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential oils on fingers. Oils with high phenol content – oregano, helichrysum, cinnamon, thyme, clove. Lemongrass, bergamot, Thieves and ImmuPower – may damage contacts and irritate eyes.
7. Pregnant women should consult their health care professional before using essential oils containing constituents with hormone-like activity, such as clary sage, sage, Idaho tansy, juniper and fennel.
8. Epileptics and those with high blood pressure should consult their health care professional before using essential oils. Avoid using hyssop, fennel and Idaho tansy oils.
9. People with allergies should test a small amount of oil on a small area of sensitive skin, such as the inside of the arm, before applying the oil on other areas. The bottom of the feet is one of the safest, most effective places to use essential oils.
10. Before taking GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) essential oils internally, always dilute with an oil-soluble liquid like honey, olive oil or soy milk.
11. Do not add undiluted essential oils directly to bath water. Use Bath Gel Base as a dispersing agent for oils in the bath.

Young Living: 2012 Modification Summary
2012 Modification Summary
Over the last six years, Young Living has been experiencing unprecedented growth. In that time, Young Living’s global growth has increased at a rate of 15% year over year, and the number of active distributors and leaders has tripled.
Due to these rapidly rising numbers, we are averaging an increase in commission payout of a quarter of a percent per month. With our commission payout currently at 48.6% (compared with the industry average of 42–45%) we will soon find ourselves with an unsustainable rate. At that point, we will not be able to maintain a consistent budget that allows us to support normal business functions and growth, as well as our high level of support to our members.
Since 2005, Young Living has been able to avoid making changes to its compensation plan, something that is unheard of in this industry. However, in order to remain a sustainable and fiscally responsible company, Young Living has made some modifications to the policies and procedures, compensation/bonus plan, and the Essential Rewards Program.
Policies and Procedures
• What has been modified?
• Duplicate Accounts
• Trust Accounts
• Sponsor Changes
• End-of-Month Qualification Ordering
• Enroller/Sponsor Policy
• Preferred and Professional Customer Options
Duplicate Accounts
Customer names, mailing and/or shipping addresses, ACH (auto check), credit card numbers,
SSNs, and TINs are limited to one account only. Distributors who do not adhere to this policy
will be issued a letter and will have 30 days to respond. If the distributor fails to respond within
30 days, their original account will remain active and any duplicate account(s) will be placed on
hold.
Trust Accounts
Trust accounts must be run by a trustee, an independent individual without a distributorship.
Any commissions made on this account must be placed in a trust fund. The trustee must
provide Young Living with legal documentation proving that both of these requirements are met.
If proof is not provided, Young Living will review the account and determine if further action is
necessary.
Sponsor Changes
A distributor can move themself from under their original sponsor, but cannot move members
within their organization. Distributors of any rank can move themselves after six months of
inactivity, or six months without placing an order.
A new member may request a sponsor change within five business days of enrollment by calling
Young Living Customer Care, or within 30 days of enrollment by sending a written request to
Young Living’s Corporate Resolutions department. A member’s upline or sponsor may not
request a sponsor change for members in their organization. Any sponsor change may affect
upline bonuses.
No duplicate accounts can be involved in a sponsor change. If a duplicate account is found, the
change request will be denied, and the duplicate account will be cancelled. All sponsor changes
must be requested in writing and approved by Corporate Resolutions.
Qualification Ordering
Sponsors will no longer be able to place orders on downline accounts for the purpose of bonus
buying, gifting for volume, or backdating. If orders are placed with the intent to qualify, Young
Living will recoup commissions that had been paid on those orders. Distributors caught or
suspected of placing orders with the intent to qualify them will be contacted by Young Living and
may face corrective action up to and including forfeiture of commission, commission retractions,
and/or termination of account.
Enroller/Sponsor Policy
In order to simplify the sign-up process, the Enroller option will be eliminated. Distributors may
still place new members in their organizations; however, there will no longer be any Enroller
benefits, such as Start Living Kit, Star Performance, and Matching bonuses. Sponsors will now
receive those bonuses. This policy will take effect January 1, 2012.
Preferred and Professional Customer Types
As of August 1, 2011, new members will no longer be able to sign up as preferred and
professional customers. The only member types remaining will be customer and distributor. All
existing preferred and professional customers will have the option of becoming a retail customer
or wholesale distributor. To become a distributor, they must purchase a Start Living Kit or place
a one-time order of at least 50 PV, and provide a Social Security Number or TIN. If they do not
provide this ID number by November 30, 2011, they will automatically become retail customers
on January 1, 2012.
Compensation/Bonus Plan
What has been modified?
• Commission Qualification and Payout
• Personal Rebate Bonus
Commission Qualification and Payout
As of January 1, 2012, a minimum order of 50 PV will be required for any distributor to qualify
for a commission check or bonus. Customer PV will no longer count as your personal PV or
qualify you for monthly commissions; however, PV from retail orders will continue to qualify or
count toward your OGV and PGV totals.
PV at the end of the qualification period, or calendar month, will not be the PV amount that will
be used for commission or rank qualification. Rather, the PV at the end of the processing period
will be used for rank qualification and bonus calculation for the prior month. The processing
period is the time between the end of the month and the beginning of the commission run;
typically falling between the 5th and 8th of each month. Order returns, cancellations, or
adjustments made for the prior month will be reviewed when commissions are calculated and
rank is determined. Please note that returns made at any time may still affect previously earned
commissions, bonuses, and/or rank and cause them to be recouped. This will help Young Living
avoid paying commissions on orders that did not generate revenue for the company.
For example, Jane Doe is attempting to qualify for Silver rank. She has two Executive legs on
the last day of the month. On the third of the next month (during the processing period), some of
the orders in Jane’s downline were cancelled, modified, or returned. Therefore, after the end of
month adjustments were completed, only one of Jane’s Executive legs still qualified as an
Executive. Thus, Jane will not qualify as a Silver; nor will her group volume totals at the end of
the month count as her commission totals once the commission run starts. According to the
adjustments, Jane will now be paid as an Executive.
Personal Rebate Bonus
As of August 1, 2011, the Personal Rebate Bonus will be discontinued. This will allow us to
reinvest those funds into areas of the business that will better serve our members.
Essential Rewards Program
Essential Rewards Program
Team Performance Bonus
Essential Rewards Program
In order to simplify the Essential Rewards Program, we have created some new automatic
shipment options.
Essential Rewards: 50–99 PV Essential Rewards Plus: 100+ PV
Convenient, automatic order Convenient, automatic order
Discounted shipping Discounted shipping
Rewards points
Grace month
If an order is between 50 and 99 PV, it will be considered an Essential Rewards order, and will
offer the benefits of automatic, convenient, first-priority shipping, and a discounted shipping rate.
Distributors who place a 100+ PV order will receive the full benefits of the Essential Rewards
program, plus Rewards points, and one grace month per rolling 12 months.
After August 1, 2011, there will no longer be a limit on how many monthly points can be earned;
however, distributors may redeem a maximum of 350 Essential Rewards points per month.
Starting January 1, 2012, Rewards points will expire on a rolling 12-month basis. Any existing
points on a YL account as of January 1, 2012 will not expire until December 31, 2012, allowing
distributors more time to redeem points they have accrued.
Distributors must call the Young Living Customer Care Department to declare their grace month
before the next month’s order is shipped. Distributors must have an active Rewards Plus order
to redeem points, and cannot redeem points in a grace month. Following the grace month, they
can begin accumulating points again at the same rate as before. If the distributor misses more
than one month, or drops below 100 PV without declaring a grace month, all Rewards points will
be forfeited and the rate of accumulating points reverts back to 10%. Please keep in mind that
the Essential Rewards template will remain active and continue to process on the selected date
each month unless changed or cancelled by the account holder.
Essential Rewards Achievement Bonus
The Team Performance Bonus will now be known as the Essential Rewards Achievement
Bonus. New distributors will learn to build and grow organizations that are wide and deep
enough to achieve sustainability, longevity, and maximum earning potential. This bonus will also
provide a good jump start and quick return for these distributors, and will help them succeed in
the long term, by generating steady unilevel commissions and generational bonuses. All of the
following modifications will take effect January 1, 2012.
Payouts and PGV Requirements
As shown in the table below, payouts will remain the same, but PGV requirements will increase.
Increasing the required PGV will help distributors to stabilize and strengthen their organizations
as they build, leading to higher unilevel commissions over the long term.
Payout 1st Structure PGV 2nd Structure PGV 3rd Structure PGV
L1 $100 1,500 2,500 3,500
L2 $500 1,500 2,500 3,500
L3 $2,000 1,500 2,500 3,500
Structure
In order to qualify under the modified bonus plan, all structures will be required to have six
distributors with Essential Rewards orders of 100 PV. Once you have three complete levels
allowing you to reach the $2,000 payout, you have one structure.
The maximum number of structures one distributor can earn will be three. This means that in
order to qualify for the maximum number of structures, a distributor will need a minimum of 18
personally sponsored, or front line, distributors with Essential Rewards Plus orders.
Please remember that bonuses are subject to change without notice.
Any Questions or Concerns?
We want you to know that we made these modifications to help our distributors continue to grow
and succeed, and to help the company achieve sustainability and longevity. We appreciate your
understanding and want to remind you that we are all here to support you as you adjust to the
updated policies. Please contact your Regional Sales Manager, Sales Manager, or General
Manager with any questions. You may also contact Young Living Customer Care at 1-800-371-
3515 or custserv@youngliving.com or Young Living Resolutions at 801-418-8900 or
resolutions@youngliving.com.
We are extremely appreciative of our leaders who have made our record growth possible.
Young Living has a very bright future ahead of us, and we look forward to continuing the journey
with all of you.

The Role of Essential Oils, by Robert Tennyson Stevens
Oils provide a dramatic increase in the electrical potential of our Human bodies. Negative thoughts, stored in the body, surrender more readily when a higher vibration is present, just as darkness surrenders to light.
The ease of light to eliminate darkness is a simple example of the power of Grace. Pure plant essential oils which contain various frequencies of sunlight have the ability to transform limited experiences and beliefs stored in our bodies.
My mentor, Marion Jager, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, had the good fortune to have a Biblical understanding of the use of essential oils. She is now with her Heavenly Creator. During many years of study with her, I experience hundreds of miracles with the use of specific oils
Marion taught me:
1. Essential Oil is the "essence" of the marriage of the Earth and the Sun through photosynthesis.
2. The human body is made up of many bodies, not just physical.
3. Thought forms attach at different parts of the body.
4. Thought forms have short-circuited our best efforts.
5. Oils protect from all kinds of Friction: Mechanical, Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual.
6. Oils keep the parts from rubbing against each other.
7. The barriers, doors or chakras have 7 major openings which connect to the endocrine system.
8. Chakras are transformers like electricity.
9. Chakras (the gate of feelings) are the only port of entry or exit of our thought forms.
10. Reactive patterns make prison doors of our chakras. Oils loosen the hinges.
11. Oils open the gates, energy centers or chakras of our bodies and only open from the inside.
12. Resentment, jealousy, anger, fear, guilt, blame, shame, lust or whatever, are thought forms.
13. The most Sainted of us have hidden prides, pleasures, fears, and thought forms to redeem or trade in on good (God) energy.
14. We require the good energy redeemed, unlocked and the blocks taken out.
15. We have created these blocks, we can remove them.
16. Oils help release us quickly from old thought forms, patterns and habits of thought.
17. Oils polarize, or reverse the vortex of thought forms and physical conditions from negative to positive polarity. Like a whorl wind or whorl pool, they disappear.
18. The Oils help the thought forms cease to spin counter clockwise and cease to exist, restoring the newly qualified energy with creativity and love.
19. The Oils are volatile and move freely in the unseen finer bodies or Aura.
20. Jesus taught the use of the oils to the Disciples, not to the masses.
21. The influence of odors upon the Finer Bodies has been a guarded temple secret down through the ages.
22. Essential oils are anesthetizes to the intellect, which can be a barrier to belief.
23. The function of Oils is to raise the frequency or the vibratory rate of slow, dead, heavy, negative thought forms.
24. Oils synchronize the rate of vibration with health and positivity, dismissing negative thought forms.
25. Use the Oils free from condemnation or guilt, with a determination to "go and sin no more", to clean the old foundation before building a new beautiful life and character.
26. To transmute our debts with the use of essential oils;
1. Accept responsibility for having misused good
2. Forgive ourselves
3. Forgive each other
4. Ask forgiveness from those we have wronged throughout all time and space.
27. You may experience tears, sighs, laughter, pimples, rashes, burping, etc. as the old thought forms are released/transmuted/forgiven.
Peppermint Oil - for thoughts and feelings of domination
Wintergreen Oil- for thoughts and feelings of fear and doubt
Ginger Oil - for thoughts and feelings of desire, lust, and lower nature struggles
Valor (Sassafras Oil) - for thoughts and feelings of confusion and hesitation to make a choice
Olive Oil - for thoughts and feelings of hating life
Jasmine Oil - for issues of the Heart
Rose Oil -for thoughts and feelings of lack of Spiritual Identity

11. Oils open the gates, energy centers or chakras of our bodies and only open from the inside.
12. Resentment, jealousy, anger, fear, guilt, blame, shame, lust or whatever, are thought forms.
13. The most Sainted of us have hidden prides, pleasures, fears, and thought forms to redeem or trade in on good (God) energy.
14. We require the good energy redeemed, unlocked and the blocks taken out.
15. We have created these blocks, we can remove them.
16. Oils help release us quickly from old thought forms, patterns and habits of thought.
17. Oils polarize, or reverse the vortex of thought forms and physical conditions from negative to positive polarity. Like a whorl wind or whorl pool, they disappear.
18. The Oils help the thought forms cease to spin counter clockwise and cease to exist, restoring the newly qualified energy with creativity and love.
19. The Oils are volatile and move freely in the unseen finer bodies or Aura.
20. Jesus taught the use of the oils to the Disciples, not to the masses.
21. The influence of odors upon the Finer Bodies has been a guarded temple secret down through the ages.
22. Essential oils are anesthetizes to the intellect, which can be a barrier to belief.
23. The function of Oils is to raise the frequency or the vibratory rate of slow, dead, heavy, negative thought forms.
24. Oils synchronize the rate of vibration with health and positivity, dismissing negative thought forms.
25. Use the Oils free from condemnation or guilt, with a determination to "go and sin no more", to clean the old foundation before building a new beautiful life and character.
26. To transmute our debts with the use of essential oils;
1. Accept responsibility for having misused good
2. Forgive ourselves
3. Forgive each other
4. Ask forgiveness from those we have wronged throughout all time and space.
27. You may experience tears, sighs, laughter, pimples, rashes, burping, etc. as the old thought forms are released/transmuted/forgiven.

ANTIDEPRESSANTS - OUR SEROTONIN NIGHTMARE – TIME TO WAKE UP!
PROPERLY PRESCRIBED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE THE #3 LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AMERICA
• PRESCRIPTION DRUGS TAKEN AS PRESCRIBED – Killing as Many Every Week as We Lost in the 911 Tragedy
• Prescription Drugs = Another 911 Weekly
• But When You Add in the Number of Drug-Induced Cancer and Heart Attack Deaths Prescription Drugs Would Likely Become the #1 Cause of Death in America
REVELATIONS 18:23-24 WARNING – A GREAT DECEPTION IN OUR DAY
• 23. “. . . for thy merchants were the great [rich & powerful] men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
• 24. “And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and all who were slain upon the earth.”
SORCERY = PHARMACOPIA (MEDICINE FROM A PHARMACY)
• The Greek translation of “sorcery” is “pharmacopeia” or “medicine from a pharmacy.”
• So John is warning that in our day the whole world will be “deceived” or lied to about prescription medications & the end result will be the deaths of “prophets, saints, and all good men.”
“LIES, DAMNED LIES, & MEDICAL SCIENCE” – The Atlantic Monthly Magazine
• November, 2010 The Atlantic Monthly published a long interview with Dr. John Ioannidis, one of the leading scientists in the world. Entitled Lies, Damned Lies, & Medical Science this highly respected Greek researcher stated that 90% of medical research is bogus/tainted by industry $$$. Additionally he did not know if it was possible for medical science to recover from this great “deception.”
SEROTONIN/ANTIDEPRESSANT LIES
• The Promises of Peace Through Serotonin
• Hypothesis: Elevated levels of serotonin relieve depression
• Truth: Elevated levels of serotonin produce depression
SEROTONIN THEORY IS BACKWARDS!!
Serotonin is high in depression, anxiety, mania, psychosis, etc., not low!
Research has been clear since the 50’s that the most damaging thing to the serotonin system is the impairing of one's ability to metabolize serotonin. Yet we are told that is exactly how SSRI antidepressants exert their effects
1996 USC MUTANT MICE STUDY
• In a genetic experiment gone wrong these mice lacked the enzyme that breaks down serotonin leading to their brains being awash in serotonin – the exact therapeutic model for the SSRI antidepressants. But these mice were the most violent animals the researchers had ever seen & it was determined that the elevated serotonin produced the violence.
DR. JOHN MANN
• In 2001 Dr. Mann was called to testify in behalf of Glaxo Pharmaceutical to defend their SSRI, Paxil, in a mass murder/suicide where a mild mannered loving father & husband took Paxil for only two days & then shot his wife, his visiting daughter, her infant daughter & himself. Dr. Mann was compelled to testify in this case that, according to his own years of research, when serotonin metabolism is impaired it produces impulsive murder & suicide. He then testified that the SSRIs impair the metabolism of serotonin. This impairment of serotonin metabolism is what is suppose to be the therapeutic effect!
ISRAEL: 1950’s DR. FELIX SULMAN – INITIAL RESEARCHER INTO SEROTONIN
Found that those individuals who could not metabolize serotonin, thereby resulting in elevated serotonin levels, suffered from:
Migraines
Hot Flashes
Tension & anxiety that came from nowhere
Pains around the heart
Difficulty breathing
Impulsive behavior
Would cause rabbits – the most docile of creatures to become aggressive
Would cause pregnant women to abort, subsequently pregnant woman were given serotonin to induce labor.
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: RESULTS OF IMPAIRING SEROTONIN METABOLISM
Migraines
Hot flashes
Pains around the heart
Difficulty breathing
Worsening of bronchial complaints
Tension and anxiety which appear from out of nowhere
Depression
Suicide – especially very violent suicide
Violent crime
Substance abuse
Hostility
Arson
Psychosis
Mania
Organic brain disease
Autism
Anorexia
Reckless driving
Alzheimer's
Impulsive behavior with no concern for punishment
Argumentative behavior
THE MOST COMMON ANTIDEPRESSANT-INDUCED COURT CASES:
Divorce
DUI
Assault
Stalking
Robbery/Shoplifting
Embezzlement/Fraud
Rape/Older Females Molesting Young Underage Men
Arson
Suicide by cop
Murder
Murder/Suicide Attempt
SEROTONIN-INDUCED CRIMES DATABASE: (www.ssristories.com)

ADDITIONAL CRITICAL POINTS:
SSRI ANTIDEPRESSANTS
• Have been the most prescribed or near the top for years.
• In February of 2008 the information came out to the public that the initial studies on antidepressants were hidden from the public as well as the FDA by the drug makers showing that these drugs are no more effective than a placebo.
• These drugs fit perfectly 16 of 17 points in a CIA list for a perfect mind control drug
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH’s STAR*D STUDY
• The National Institutes of Health decided to do a study to show the true efficacy of SSRI antidepressants. It was called the Star*D study. In the spring of 2008 we were told they had found a 67% benefit in treating depression with SSRIs. One year on the medications only 3% were okay, but it took them another year to announce that to the world. [When antidepressants bring in $86 Billion per year it is easy to understand the delay!]
7–10% LACK THE P-450 2D6 LIVER ENZYME
Lacking this liver enzyme system a patient cannot metabolize antidepressants & therefore will reach toxic levels of their medication very quickly resulting in “involuntary intoxication.” We know that 7% - 10% of patients genetically do not inherit a functioning P450 2D6 liver enzyme system. Toxicity = adverse reactions, physical or mental.
A young American man (18) shot and killed his father after only three weeks on Prozac. He was just granted a new trial after tests showed his liver enzyme is impaired or lacking.
PAXIL – 7 X BREAST CANCER
• Antidepressants produce a greater rate of breast cancer. With Paxil the rate of increase has been shown to be a 700% increase!
REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER (RBD)
Initial studies with the SSRI and SNRI antidepressants showed that REM sleep was being repressed by the drugs. Prozac represses REM sleep by 50%. The brain will go into REM during periods of wakefulness to compensate for the lack of REM allowing for acting out in a dream state – often referred to as a psychotic break. This is how sleep deprivation produces psychotic breaks. Anything that represses REM sleep can and will produce psychosis or psychotic breaks or dreaming during periods of wakefulness.
Known as the REM Sleep Behavior Disorder or RBD in which there is no paralysis during sleep thus allowing one to act out dreams or nightmares. Generally RBD is a nightmare causing 80% of patients to hurt themselves or someone else - even to commit homicide.
ANTIDEPRESSANTS CAUSE CRAVINGS FOR ALCOHOL
45 out of 100 who have had previous alcohol problems will increase heavy drinking if given an antidepressant!!!
They also produce alcohol cravings in those who are not drinkers – example Princess Di’s driver Henri Paul
Antidepressants also increase the blood alcohol ratio leading to DUI charges
WEB MD ESTIMATES RATE OF ANTIDEPRESSANT-INDUCED MANIA/BIPOLAR
1/3 of those who take antidepressants will go manic/Bipolar
Manufacturers of antidepressants produced new antipsychotics as their next mind altering medications after their antidepressants – knowing that the antidepressant use would cause such a demand for these drugs??? The new antipsychotics are DOUBLE in price!
SEROQUEL – DEATH DURING SLEEP
• So strong is this new atypical antipsychotic that our healthy young vets, generally on a combination of an antidepressant, tranquilizer & Seroquel, are dying in their sleep.
• A support group has been formed for those families who have lost vets to suicide, hostility or sudden death resulting from these atypical antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. The group is headed by Stan White who lost one son in combat & another to sudden death.
[PLEASE PUT FOLLOWING FDA WARNING IN A BOX HERE]
US FDA WARNING ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS
“Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior.
Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. . .
Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings. This is very important when an antidepressant medicine is started or when the dose is changed.”
Call a healthcare provider right away if you or your family member has any of the following symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you:
• thoughts about suicide or dying
• attempts to commit suicide
• new or worse depression
• new or worse anxiety
• feeling very agitated or restless
• panic attacks
• trouble sleeping [most common antidepressant side effect]
• new or worse irritability
• acting aggressive, being angry, or violent
• acting on dangerous impulses
• an extreme increase in activity and talking [mania]
• other unusual changes in behavior or mood
[END FDA WARNING]

THE HISTORY OF MIND CONTROL – the SSRIs fit 16 of the 17 key points the CIA lists as requisite for their perfect mind control drug. As we go through the history of mind control in America & the world & then compare it to what we know about SSRI antidepressants, the impact is chilling.
Dr. Tracy also does private phone consultations for both antidepressant withdrawal support & consultations as an expert witness in criminal proceedings in court cases resulting from antidepressant use. You can order any amount of time from a half an hour or more for consultations with her at www.drugawareness.org.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy can help in mild forms of depression. It may ease mental fatigue and help with sleep. However, if you, or someone you know, are severely depressed, additional support and therapy are necessary. Aromatherapy is more effective when used as a Complementary therapy, assisting other therapies.
