Happy Valentine's Day!
I have exciting news this issue! I have joined a team of practitioners at The Herb Shoppe located at 3327 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland, OR 97215. Starting this month, I will be working at The Herb Shoppe on Mondays and Thursdays. The Herb Shoppe offers
Stephen Otto is looking to hire an independent sales person to sell advertising for a local digital and print magazine. He prefers someone with experienced in advertising sales. Compensation will be by commission and bonuses. This is an excellent venue for part-time work for great earnings. If you or someone you know is interested or have questions please call Stephen at 262-497-5053. Leave a message if he does not answer. Or, you may email him at Stephen@portland-review.com
"Whoever has no time for their health,
will have to find time for their sickness."  It's Broken
Articles of Interest
All of us see and experience the multitude of flaws with Western allopathic medicine in America. It is my intention to illuminate these issues, bring them to your attention for your scrutiny and for you too, to ponder the "why is this so?" in the hopes that it will spur action to remedy the iniquities, falsehoods, and wrong-doings of our health care system.
"We the people" should not be as cattle to the slaughter...there are healthful, safe options for all of us! BE INFORMED.
I do wish to post a reminder here that if you are experiencing any cold or flu like symptoms a few days before or the day of your scheduled massage, please call me and let me know. I would very much prefer that you stay home and get well rather than exposing healthy people to the virus.... Unless, of course you wish to request a Raindrop Treatment add -on to your massage! This is an excellent way to naturally boost your immune system for prevention of colds and flu. Raindrop Treatments have also been advantageous in helping to reduce symptoms and duration of colds and flu after you already catch them.
I will also be diffusing air purifying essential oils
for all of our protection.
I have a full description of RT on my website. I also have available, the Young Living explanation of Raindrop Therapy at essentialeverydayoils.com . If you are interested, I have a Raindrop Therapy Disclosure Packet available for your ease of reference that lists all the essential oils used, why they are used and what other additional health benefits they may provide along with any contraindications for these oils. I am interested in helping you stay healthy and well! Please visit my website (page 6) and have a peek at the Sponsor Partner list updates. Please welcome The Herb Shoppe! I do hope you will patronize these most excellent service providers and while you are there, fill out a ticket for my monthly "Win a Massage Drawing". Every time you patronize my Sponsor Partners, you are eligible to enter another ticket for the monthly drawing. Good Luck. I hope you're one of the winners!
EVERY month at the end of each month I will draw one entry ticket from each Sponsor Partner facility. The winners of the drawings will be receiving a special e-mail with an attached certificate for a free massage.
Wishing you and all your loved ones continued good health and blessings in abundance for now and all through the new year.

Featured Essential Oil of the Month
Get 10% off Di-Gize essential oil blend purchases February 1-28, 2010.
 Di-Gize is a blend of pure tarragon,
ginger, peppermint, and other essential oils that promote healthy
digestion. It is an ideal companion to the nutritional supplements® and JuvaTone®. ComforTone
For internal use, dilute one part Di-Gize essential oil to four parts Young Living V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex. Take one capsule before each meal or as desired. ALSO THIS MONTH:
GET A FREE HELICHRYSUM ESSENTIAL OIL
During the month of Feb -ruary, order
215 PV on any of your favorite Young Living products, and receive one
5ml bottle of helichrysum for FREE. That's a retail value of $102.30!
One of Young Living's most popular essential oils,
helichrysum was traditionally used to mitigate bruising and varicose
veins, as well as to support circulatory health and relieve muscle
tension.*
Only the Helichrysum italicum
grown in the Mediterranean region meets our stringent Young Living
Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG) sourcing standard. Competitors commonly add
various essential oil bases to produce a cheaper, synthetic
helichrysum, but only YLTG helichrysum undergoes strict quality control
standards and is proven to be pure, potent, and to contain the optimal
levels of the important compound neryl acetate.
*Modern medical research has not yet validated these historical claims. Beau's comments: Helichrysum is one of the most powerful pain-relieving essential oils. This is one essential oil that I highly recommend to take advantage of the YL special price! It is well worth spending the money to get this for free!

Pathology Corner
The Critical Role of Wheat in Human Disease
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
January 16 2010
 Lectin
is a type of 'wheat germ agglutinin' (WGA) and glycoprotein. Through
thousands of years of selectively breeding wheat for increasingly
larger quantities of protein, the concentration of WGA lectin has
increased proportionately.
WGA is largely responsible for many of wheat's pervasive ill effects.
What's more, WGA is found in highest concentrations in "whole wheat," including its supposedly superior sprouted form. What is unique about the WGA glycoprotein is that it can do direct
damage to the majority of tissues in your body without requiring a
specific set of genetic susceptibilities or immune-mediated
articulations.
This may explain why chronic inflammatory and degenerative conditions are endemic to wheat-consuming populations. WGA lectin is an exceptionally tough adversary as it is formed by
the same disulfide bonds that make vulcanized rubber and human hair so
strong, flexible and durable.
Like man-made pesticides, lectins are extremely small, resistant to
breakdown by living systems, and tend to accumulate and become
incorporated into tissues where they interfere with normal biological
processes. At exceedingly small concentrations, WGA stimulates the synthesis of
pro-inflammatory chemical messengers. WGA induces thymus atrophy in
rats. WGA can pass through the blood-brain barrier. It may also
interfere with gene expression and disrupt endocrine function. To finish hearing/reading Dr. Mercola's comments and solutions on this subject click here : Gluten Intolerance
