FRANKINCENSE & CANCER

frankincense

A note forwarded by Frances

Many thanks to Vicki Opfer for sending the following information which explains why frankincense and the citrus oils are so effective against cancer.

Frankincense is about 12% limonene, and you can find the information
on the limonene research abstracts in Greater Joy’s archives. Limonene
is a plant molecule that has been observed to not only inhibit cancer,
but also to regress it…

This miraculous molecule, and others within the plants that work with
it synergistically, may be giving us this fabulous healing effect.

Scientists often look to nature for healing effects in plants. They
isolate the molecule that seems to be producing a certain effect.
Next they synthetically create a similar molecule which becomes a
drug, and which they can get a patent on. (You cannot get a patent on
natural plant molecules.)

Unfortunately, when a molecule is isolated from the plant, it becomes
somewhat toxic to us. When it is synthesized (created in a lab
synthetically) , in order to create pharmaceutical drugs for the
specific result, it becomes even more toxic and often comes with a
legal sized sheet of side effects. (You can ask your pharmacist for
the insert, which lists side effects, for any drugs you are taking.)

So it is much more preferable to use the whole plant, or the whole
essential oil of the plant, rather than an isolated molecule.

Therapeutic grade essential oils (as opposed to industrial grade oils
or synthetically produced fragrances) contain a balanced and complete
molecular profile. That’s why we get such amazing results. And they
are safe and non-toxic to us.

Frankincense has been observed throughout history to help the body’s
immune system alleviate cancer. Its limonene content may be a crucial
factor. The citrus oils, like orange, grapefruit, lemon, etc., are
mostly limonene (often 90-95%), with a few other supporting molecules.

In order to replicate the amount of limonene used in the research
studies that show regression of cancer, one would have to take 10 ml
of orange oil a day, internally. This is about 12-14 “00″ capsules.

If someone is in a cancer treatment program, they need to speak with
their oncologist about adding citrus oils or frankincense to what they
are already doing. They may want to share the limonene information
with the doctor, as many physicians are not aware of this research.

We are definitely in the pioneering phase of this work, and it’s
exciting to be a part of it!

Have a wonderful day!
Vicki
