1. A Prophecy Whose Time Has Come
~^~^~^~by David Stewart

". . .Sooner or later, all synthetic drugs and antibiotics become ineffective or lethal and have to be discontinued. . . Patented medicines are all unnatural, composed of molecules never before existing on planet earth. Our bodies were not made to utilize, metabolize, and eliminate such substances. This is why all pharmaceuticals, without exception, have negative side effects.

"By contrast, properly administered natural products, such as essential oils, have little or no untoward side effects. They can be taken into the body and utilized, metabolized, and eliminated when they have completed their healing mission. The majority of side effects from oils and natural products, if any, are unexpected good ones. . .

THE END OF ALLOPATHY AS WE KNOW IT

". . .Allopathic medicines (antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic drugs) all eventually become ineffective and obsolete, requiring that drug companies engage in endless research to find the next prescription to replace the antiquated ones. Modern Medicine is based on a flawed paradigm employing pharmaceuticals of only transient value.

"Wholistic natural medicine, including essential oils, addresses root causes from the quantum behavior of electrons, to the intelligence of the cells, to the human mind and spirit. True and permanent healing can occur when the right environment of balance in body, mind, and soul have been established. Furthermore, the medicines of nature, which include herbs and essential oils, will never become ineffective. Their therapeutic, Divinely created properties are forever. Wholistic medicine, incorporating essential oils, is based on a more incompassing paradigm of permanent value. . .

A NEW AND BETTER SYSTEM
". . .it is inevitable that allopathic medicine, as we know it today, will eventually shrink into a very minor part of the health care system, dealing only with traumas, crises, and acute situations, while true health care, true healing, and true regimens of wellness will come from the concepts of natural medicine using plants and other natural substances as God made them and intended them for our benefit. . .

". . . future health care will not primarily be allopathic in its approach. It will be wholistic and natural and essential oils will be a fundamental and principal element of the new system. Drug-based medicine, as practiced today, is eventually doomed to disappear because it is based on transient medicines and a flawed paradigm. . . It's fall Was Predictable and Inevitable From the Beginning.

". . .The birth and labor of a new and better system is already well underway and progressing well. All of you who are educating yourselves in oils, herbs, nutrition, healthy life styles, and natural health care solutions are the midwives of the new system."

Editor's Note: The comments above were published almost five years ago in the Sept-Oct issue of The Raindrop Messenger, Vol 5. No. 5 in an article entitled: "The Transience of Drugs and Permanence of Oils." You can access the full article by visiting www.RaindropTraining.com and clicking on "Newsletter Archives" on the home page. We have always known that current medical practices cannot endure indefinitely, but had thought the end of medicine as we know it would not come during our life time. However, as the following article by Jeremy Laurance (given below) will attest, the time for a drastic shift in medical practice is apparently now. More than 25 years ago, Robert Mendelsohn, MD, made this prediction in his book entitled, "Confessions of a Medical Heritic" (published in 1985). He said, "Antibiotics, other pharmaceuticals, and much of what physicians practice today will some day become obsolete and ineffective. When that happens, the medical establishment will fall like a house of cards."

2. The End of Medicine as We Know it
~^~^~^~by Jeremy Laurance

(Jeremy Laurance is Health Editor at The Independent, a British News publication. The following article was posted on the internet on March 16, 2012. It can be found at http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/health-chief-warns-age-of-safe-medicine-is-ending-7574579.html

HEADLINE:
HEALTH CHIEF WARNS: AGE OF SAFE MEDICINE IS ENDING
(Antibiotic crisis will make routine operations impossible and a scratched knee could be fatal)

The world is entering an era where injuries as common as a child's scratched knee could kill, where patients entering hospitals gamble with their lives, and where routine operations such as a hip replacement become too dangerous to carry out, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned.

There is a global crisis in antibiotics caused by rapidly evolving resistance among microbes responsible for common infections that threaten to turn them into untreatable diseases, said Margaret Chan, Director General of the WHO.

Addressing a meeting of infectious disease experts in Copenhagen, she said that every antibiotic ever developed was at risk of becoming useless.

"A post-antibiotic era means, in effect, an end to modern medicine as we know it. Things as common as strep throat or a child's scratched knee could once again kill."

She continued: "Antimicrobial resistance is on the rise in Europe, and elsewhere in the world. We are losing our first-line antimicrobials.

"Replacement treatments are more costly, more toxic, need much longer durations of treatment, and may require treatment in intensive care units.

"For patients infected with some drug-resistant pathogens, mortality has been shown to increase by around 50 per cent.

"Some sophisticated interventions, like hip replacements, organ transplants, cancer chemotherapy, and care of preterm infants, would become far more difficult or even too dangerous to undertake."

Britain has seen a 30 per cent rise in cases of blood poisoning caused by E. coli bacteria between 2005 and 2009, from 18,000 to more than 25,000 cases. Those resistant to antibiotics have risen from 1 per cent at the beginning of the century to 10 per cent.

The most powerful antibiotics are carbapenems, which are used as a last line of defense for the treatment of resistant infections.

In 2009, carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, a bug present in the gut, were first detected in Greece but by the following year had spread to Italy, Austria, Cyprus and Hungary.

The European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the percentage of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae had doubled from 7 per cent to 15 per cent. An estimated 25,000 people die each year in the European Union from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

In the UK, the Government pledged £500,000 for research into the threat last month.

Dr Chan was speaking as the World Health Organization launched The Evolving Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance: Options for Action, a book which warns that breakthrough treatments discovered in the last century for flu, tuberculosis, malaria and HIV may become ineffective in the coming years.

She called for action to restrict the use of antibiotics in food production and a crackdown on counterfeit medicines. "Worldwide, the fact that greater quantities of antibiotics are used in healthy animals than in unhealthy humans is a cause for great concern," she said.

Discovering new medicines to treat resistant super-bugs has proved increasingly difficult and costly, as they are taken only for a short period and the commercial returns are low.

Dr. Chan continued: "In terms of new replacement antibiotics, the pipeline is virtually dry. The cupboard is nearly bare.

"From an industry perspective, why invest considerable sums of money to develop a new antimicrobial when irrational use will accelerate its ineffectiveness before the investment can be recouped?"

She called for measures to tackle the threat by: 1. doctors prescribing antibiotics appropriately, and 2. Patients following their treatment protocols, and 3. Restrictions on the use of antibiotics in animals. But she said attention was "still sporadic" and actions "inadequate."

"At a time of multiple calamities in the world, we cannot allow the loss of essential antimicrobials, essential cures for many millions of people, to become the next global crisis," she said.
____________________________

Editor's Comment: So what is the ultimate and permanent solution to the global crisis of increasingly ineffective antibiotics discussed above? Dr, Chan, Head of the World Health Organization, and other medical experts of the world do not seem to have an answer, although ironically she used the word "essential" twice in her concluding sentence above. The truth is, you who are knowledgeable in the application of essential oils have the answer. The long-term solutions to the infectious diseases of the world are the timeless antimicrobial and permanent properties of Essential Oils to which bacteria have never become resistant since the beginning of their creation eons ago. Man's synthetic medicines are temporary, but God's medicines are forever. Thank God that through Young Living He has made his healing oils available to you.

3. Learn Raindrop on the Young Living Herb Farm
~^~^~^~with Dr. David & Lee Stewart

Young Living is the largest producer of therapeutic grade essential oils in the world. The Young Living Herb Farm and Distillery near Mona, Utah, is the largest essential oil producing facility in North America and lies in a beauifaul mountain valley at the foot of Mount Nebo, a snow-covered volcanic peak that is the highest in Utah (over 11,000 feet). The CARE Intensive, May 7-10, 2012, will be taught in a conference building on the YL Farm patterned after the European mansions of the Middle Ages surrounded amidst fields of Lavender, Peppermint, and German Chamomile.

Come enrich yourself with the wisdom, knowledge, inspiration, and practical skills provided by a CARE Intensive and taught by the two original CARE Instructors while inhaling the pure mountain air and absorbing the natural beauty that abounds and surrounds the Young Living Herb Farm in Utah. Come enjoy organically prepared luncheons from fresh produce grown on the farm accompanied with healthy, delicious desserts, and refreshing drinks like lavendar lemonade.

May 7-10, 2012, Monday - Thursday, David Stewart, PhD, and Lee Stewart, CVRS, SCCI, will be teaching a CARE Intensive on the Young Living Farm near Mona, Utah. The curriculum of a CARE Intensive includes: 1. Healing Oils of the Bible, 2. The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple. 3. Applied Vitaflex 4. Raindrop Technique, 4. Emotional Release with Essential Oils.

Twenty-five hours of continuing education credit comes with participation in this seminar accredited by NCBTMB and IACET, which is also the first step toward becoming a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS) and Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH). Although most come for the information and training, this Intensive is also the first step toward becoming a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) should you wish to become a member of the CARE Faculty.

This is less than a once-a-year event and a rare opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Stewart, author of several books and booklets on essential oils. His works include: "Healing Oils of the Bible," "The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple," "Statistical Validation of Raindro Technique," "Healing: God's Forgotten Gift," and "Quantum Physics, Essential Oils, and the Mind-Body Connection."

David and Lee are also the cofounders of CARE, the Center for Aromatherapy Research & Education (aka CARE International).

This seminar in May in Utah, and one in November in Branson, Missouri, are the only two CARE Intensives to be taught by Dr. Stewart and his wife during 2012. Details are posted at www.RaindropTraining.com where you can register over the internet for this unique seminar. You can also register by calling (800) 758-8629 or (573) 238-4273 by credit card. The fee for all four days is $700 USD.

CARE will be sponsoring as many as 200 CARE Seminars and Intensives worldwide during 2012. For a current calendar, visit www.RaindropTraining.com and browse the CARE Calendar. See next article of this issue of The Raindrop Messenger for a list of currently posted CARE Programs for 2012.

BECOMING A CCI, LSH, *CRTS, or BCRS
" NOTE: The title, Certified Raindrop Practitioner (CRP), is being changed
to Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS) as of February 2012.

CARE Classes are usually taken for the information and skills they provide.
Certificates of Participation are issued for each Class. Any CARE Class once
taken can be repeated for half-price.

For those who may want to teach for CARE, the Basic CARE Classes are the
first step toward becoming a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI)
Taking CARE Classes can also lead to becoming a Certified Raindrop
Technique Specialist -CRTS (formerly called Certified Raindrop Practitioners - CRP)
or Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS) through the
Natural Therapies Certification Board (NTCB). The CARE Program also leads to
eligibility to become a Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH) through the
Spiritual Healers Licensing Board (SHLB). Becoming both a CRP and a LSH
legalizes you in the practice of Raindrop and Vitaflex throughout the U.S.
and Canada. Being a CRTS or BCRS also makes you eligible to obtain liability
insurance good throughout the U.S. and Canada. IACET CEUs are recognized
internationally throughout the world.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT CARE PROGRAMS

This program may change your life if you are willing to try something new and be open. I love how gentle and graceful my healing was and how wonderful to have hope again.
~ Lisa Marie Belter, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This class was very enlightening. I would recommend it to everyone. It is nice to know that there is an alternative to medicine.
~ Tiffany Slusher, Minford, Ohio

As a Medical Doctor, I would suggest very highly that all medical practitioners, medical students, and residents should be exposed to programs like this.
~ Andrew Sears, M.D., Saginaw, Michigan

I can say from experience that the complete version of Raindrop, as taught in CARE Seminars, is the very best. CARE training allows a person to completely grasp the meaning of every technique and lesson taught so a person can carry out, with true value and with deep spirituality, their own facilitations using CARE methods. I am confident that I have learned the most effective way to assist others on their journey to optimum health."
~ Colleen Coleman, Sherwood, Oregon

Since I can remember I could not seem to hear what others could hear. As a result I was labeled as a slow learner. At the CARE Seminar, the Instructor asked if he could demonstrate the Vitaflex Ear Technique on me using helichrysum oil. So I took out my hearing aid and he gave his demonstration to the class. That night when I turned on my computer I had to decrease the volume by three-quarters of the setting I normally use as it was too loud for me. The next day I did not wear my hearing aid to class and for the first time I did not strain to hear.
~ Vickie Hornbuckle, Piedmont, Kansas

This seminar was beyond my highest expectations! It opened up incredible insights and understandings! In addition we learned one Vitaflex technique that 'cured' my scoliosis with one application.
~ Patricia B. Hayes, Bath, Michigan

My experience in this class was very precious and a blessing! The instructor poured out her love all day long amongst us. She touched my heart. I would love to have more of my dear friends in Europe receive this wonderful experience.
~ Gabriele Hauser, M.D., Vienna, Austria

This program has changed my life. I feel as if I have been waiting all of my life for this door to open so I could walk through into my destiny. Usually I would go to a seminar and in a few days, I would go back to my old habit patterns, but not this time. The next day after the emotional release class I woke up totally free from a fear I had for years. God is such a wonderful Father to prepare these healings for us in such a simple way as offered through CARE's ministry. I will forever be thankful. And one more thing. My block towards chemistry is gone. Really gone!I did not look forwardto the class. I actually dreaded it. Now, I am looking forwardto taking it again and becoming a teacher! Miracles happen all the time! Shalom.
~ Maria DeShields, St. Louis, Missouri

A fabulous reintroduction to the oils, the chemistry, and life in general. The instructor was amazing.
~ Jyll Johnstone, DiReno, Italy

The CARE Intensive exceeded my high expectations. All of the instructors were great. Their tremendous caring and willingness to give of self was always evident. This program provides an opportunity to build on previous knowledge or start new if unfamiliar with essential oils. It also enables you to participate in personal growth and meet wonderful people.
~ Jeannette Vaupel, RN, Genoa, Illinois

Thank you so much for bringing the raindrop training to Australia. I absolutely loved the course. It was a turning point for me. I hope that you can come back to Australia ASAP.
~ Sonya Vassallo, Beechworth, Victoria, Australia

I am so grateful for CARE. This workshop really truly builds confidence and teaches the techniques in a way that could be learned by anyone. Thank you! It has been so fulfilling!
~ Robyn Karima Grant, Nakuop, British Columbia, Canada

This seminar will change your life! I have no suggestions for this seminar. It was fantastic.
~ Diane Koepp, Belle Plaine, Minnesota

This is a program for everyone. It will change their lives for a much better future. Makes you a new person who belongs to God. Thank you.
~ Dermot Bailey, Niestetal, Germany

It was great! I loved it! Until I took this seminar I didn't have a clue that oils could do so much! Thank you!
~ Susan J. Knowles, Caldwell, West Virginia

We traveled a long way for the CARE Seminar (from England to California). The whole workshop was interesting, enlightening, excellent, and very enjoyable. It was well worth every mile traveled!
~ Susan Neary, Clitheroe, Lancashire, England

As a massage therapist I was able to take the work that I do to the next level! The understanding of the chemistry of essential is helping me explain the scientific way they work. Thank you. It was a pleasure being in this class.
~ Melissa Bills, LMT, Caro, Michigan

This training is an absolute must for all those involved in oils. Truly awe inspiring!! We received knowledge and healing from above.
~ James Claps, Grove Village, Illinois

This workshop has been the most rewarding learning experience since my introduction to essential oils. The wealth of material and wonderful personal experiences and knowledge shared was beyond my expectations.
~ Aziyza Shabazz, St. Croix, Virgin Islands

Three days after receiving raindrop in the CARE class I received a healing from a painful shoulder and left arm. I am very excited what the oils do for people.
~ Meg Hueslcamp, Brenham, Texas

Millions of thanks to you. I am already lining up students to come to your next classes. Everything was taught in such a simple manner that even a child could follow and do raindrop technique. May God bless you richly in your work.
~ Kiew Lo, Carlingford Court, New South Wales, Australia

Words are not adequate to express how great this class is. Everyone was inspired and blessed by every section of the class. We didn't want it to end.
~ Connie Allen, Lewiston, Idaho

The CARE Intensive was so great! It was amazing. During the three days we all bonded together and it seemed like we were all a big family. I found the chemistry class to be very interesting, which shocked me as I never really enjoyed science before. You explained everything so well that now I will feel more confident in using my oils and sharing them. Thank you for the experience and the training.
~ Jamie Brown, Lakewood, California

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for such a wonderful program. Not only have I learned a great deal of new skills, I have grown as a spiritual being. All this in just three days! Thank you.
~ Kim McMahon, Bronte Beach, New South Wales, Australia

I have taken the CARE Classes twice now and it continues to get better. The magnitude of information is incredible. I feel like I could repeat and repeat.
~ Carol Garvey, Oakville, Ontario, Canada

I wouldn't change anything about the CARE class. It is perfect. This little group is really special. We were supported by so many angels and the presence of the highest spirit. I love this training!
~ Vijay Churfuerst-Hanzal, Leobendorf, Austria

Where and How to Obtain Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

If you are a Young Living Essential Oils Distributor or a Young Living Customer, you have chosen to avail yourself of the world’s finest oils of Biblical grade quality. If You are not a YL Member and have a friend or relative who is, you should approach them and ask how you can become affiliated with Young Living and purchase these oils.

You may also contact any Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) who would be happy to enroll you in Young Living. The addresses, phone numbers, and email information for all CARE instructors are given on the CARE website, http://www.RaindropTraining.com. Perhaps there is a CCI living near to you who would serve as your sponsor and assist you in learning about how to use the oils.

If you do not know of anyone in your community or family that sells these oils, you may also choose to enroll with Dr. David and Lee Stewart as your sponsor at http://bibleoils.YoungLivingWorld.com or by contacting Young Living at (800) 371-3515 and enroll over the phone asking that David and Lee Stewart, YLEO Member #261333, be your sponsors. You may also call David or Lee directly at (573) 238-4273.

You cannot practice therapeutic aromatherapy with healing results unless you use properly produced and packaged oils. Most oils easily available from retail outlets are food or perfume grade oils and do not have the healing properties that Young Living oils possess.
