Oil of the month by Russell Louie    
Seasonal Allergies and Essential Oils
My seasonal allergies started around April 10th this year in the Rocky Mountains (Denver). I started with a homeopathic remedy called Allergiplex. This took care of most of the itchy eyes and sneezing but only reduced the runny nose. Rather than turn to supplement or even an herbal mix, I next turned to my essential oils. I chose the following four oils to use each day.
  • Lavender (#3575)
  • Roman chamomile (#3512)
  • Eucalyptus globulus (#3539)
  • RC (blend for respiratory congestion, #3405)

Each morning before I dressed, I applied 2-4 of these oils (one drop each) on the bottom of my feet in the reflexology areas (Vita-flex points) related to the lungs and head. I then covered the soles with a layer of hand lotion and put on my socks. This was enough to control my hayfever allergies to a manageable level where I didn't need to take any herbal decongestants or antihistamines.

The Synergy of it All, Part 2
by Russell Louie
 

Last month we discussed how synergy was more important than the actual dosage in milligrams of supplements. Most people understood this conceptually but putting it into practice is harder. I would like to give a concrete example to illustrate the fallacy in supplementation.

Most cars have four wheels. Logically and allopathically speaking, one would think if one of these wheels should lock up, the car should still be able to drive at 75% of its peak speed (after all, 3 out of 4 wheels are still working). But the synergy of the car (and your body) does not work that way. If one could drive 80 m.p.h. with four good wheels, one could NOT drive 60 m.p.h. with 3 out of 4 wheels turning. I know this for a fact because I tried. One winter, the brake caliper on one wheel locked up in 0-10º weather. Even on snow packed roads, the maximum I could go was 25 m.p.h. (not 60 m.p.h.).

So, what do some people do when one wheel locks up? They step on the gas and try to go faster. If this were a symptom in their body, they would drink more coffee, colas or energy drink and perhaps find an energy supplement with ginseng, guarana or maté to increase their energy. At best, this is a short term solution and will eventually produce side effects.

When that doesn't work, they go to a tire store (with one wheel locked up) and the tire mechanic sells them the latest tire with computer generated tread design and laser cut tread. This is like going to the local health food store and buying a bunch of the latest "energy" supplements. Of course, this doesn't fix the problem either.

Next, is getting a second opinion. The second tire mechanic (still allopathically only looking at the worn tire tread) says, no wonder you're still having a problem. You don't have the latest rubber formulation designed to last for 80,000 instead of 40,000 miles (and sells you another tire). That's like going back to the health food store and buying supplements with twice the dosage of ginseng, guarana or maté (and even caffeine). Obviously, this still doesn't fix the original problem but might temporarily improve the deficiency.

Finally, you take your car to a more "holistic" mechanic and they correctly diagnose a locked up wheel (not a bad tire which is just the symptom). With the wheel fixed and the car holistically balanced, the synergy of all four wheels turning will allow you to drive 80 m.p.h. again (don't do this if the speed limit is only 55 m.p.h.). Did the type of tire with their latest tread design or harder rubber formulation matter? Neither will buying the latest patent-pending supplement with a proprietary extraction technique and a higher dosage of Vitamin X than any other product. It is the synergy of the ingredients in the whole food product and the net utilization in the body that matters most, not the number of milligrams on the label.

That is one of the differences between supplements and whole food products. The principle of synergy means 1 + 1 ≠ 2 but instead  1 + 1 = 3 or 4 or even 5. In other words, the sum is far greater than the individual parts. One doesn't need to take "supplemental" or large megadoses doses of vitamins, minerals, Omega oils, phytonutrients, etc. for the body to benefit, if one gets these ingredients synergistically from a whole food product. One simply cannot compare the dosage in milligrams of BioSuperfood and BioPreparation with a supplement as a measure of effectiveness. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

Why not buy fewer supplements, save money and simplify your life all while becoming healthier. To learn more about this principle of synergy in whole food products, attend the free teleconference call on May 28 advertised above.
