Winegar, General Counsel Mike McLean, General Manager, Americas Young Living Essential Oils Company History Gary Young started Young Living Essential Oils in 1989, in Spokane, Washington, initially producing and selling lavender essential oil. The company has grown into what is thought to be a multimillion dollar business selling a variety of largely essential oil-based health-related products. Young Living moved from its original headquarters in Payson, Utah, to Lehi, Utah, in 2003 and maintains a warehouse and shipping facility in Spanish Fork, Utah. The company has announced plans to move its headquarters to Spanish Fork, Utah. Young Living Essential Oils Controversy While Young Livings current product catalog avoids making extravagant claims about the healing effects of Young Living products, top sales leaders continue to make unsubstantiated claims about the healing power of essential oils on their own websites and in letters and e-mails to their downline distributors. According to one website, a user of Young Living Essential Oils products stated that he would make history once essential oils cured his serious disease—suggesting that Young Living manipulates its customers into believing that their products can cure disease. Young Living President, Gary Young, has also been involved in various legal proceedings, including a 1983 plea of guilt for practicing medicine without a license. On one of Gary Young's official websites it is stated that in "1985: He received his master's degree in nutrition. Young then went on to earn his doctorate in Naturopathy from Bernadean University." Eva F. Briggs, M.D. states the following regarding Young's credentials: "And what about Youngs claims to be an N.D., or naturopathic doctor? They are false. His degree is a worthless piece of paper purchased from a notorious diploma mill called Bernadean University. With this worthless credential, Young has NEVER been licensed to practice naturopathy in Utah or any place else." Dr. Briggs' statement is supported by Bernadean's website which states that "tuition rate is $200.00 per subject for Associate and Bachelor programs. The tuition rate is $300.00 per subject for Master and Doctor programs." Gary Young invented and promotes a technique called "Raindrop Therapy" that promotes the use of large quantities of undiluted essential oils dropped directly on the skin. In the USA, The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy(NAHA), has determined that: "Raindrop Therapy" technique as developed by Mr. Gary Young is not to be regarded as a best practice because: - It promotes the unsafe use of essential oils, putting people at risk of skin irritation and - There is no published empirical substantiation to support its claims that RDT is a "tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine, such as scoliosis." Additional information on essential oils can be can be found on NAHA's website, along with general safety information on their use. There is an online rebuttal to various negative claims asserted by Quack Watch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Living_Essential_Oils Tags: young, living, essential, oils, young-living, Author: JuiceScams |
