Myths About Alcohol And Sanitizers
Show Notes:
WHO recommended recipes: https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf
How is Isopropyl Alcohol Made? Component of fossil fuel: propene (carbon and hydrogen (C3H6)) Isopropyl Alcohol is made from propene and water carbon and hydrogen (C3H6) plus hydrogen and oxygen (H20) to create isopropyl alcohol (C3H7OH). https://sciencing.com/isopropyl-alcohol-made-5574730.html
Is Isopropyl alcohol a central nervous system depressor? Nausea. Irritability. Headaches. Poisoning through skin contact or inhalation.
It is very hard to get poisoning from inhalation. You would need to be around a massive spill or be doing it on purpose through huffing to get high.
Consider hospitals. They use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect all surfaces plus to clean and disinfect their tools. Do you see doctors and nurses having toxicity to isopropyl alcohol? No!
The EWG rates Isopropyl alcohol as a 2.

Blending Fragrance with Vodka? “The alcohol in witch hazel is only sufficient to protect the witch hazel itself from some microbial growth. It will not effectively inhibit microbial growth in a spray or other product. In fact, it will provide food for microbes because it’s an herbal/botanical product/ingredient.” - Tisserand

Frequency Generation Using Essential Oils
Frequency is a very interesting idea that has become a big part of how we teach oils. While the science was sort of right, it is exciting because they are now understanding it in a way that makes more sense and is duplicatable. Haven’t you all be frustrated that there is a very short list of frequency readings for oils? That list is always the same and no one ever adds to it? I have always wondered why? Haven’t you?
Frequency as we understood it went out of vogue in the 1970s. The reason is because sciences could not replicate frequencies. They found as they studied molecular frequency of various organic substances that it was totally dependent on temperature. Consider a bottle of Rose oil. It is considered to have the highest frequency at 320 MHz. What they got frustrated with was the inconsistency of those readings. The organic material is always dependent on temperature. If you take a bottle of Rose and measure the frequency in a cold lab vs. outside in warmer weather, the frequency is always different. There is no way to validate or confirm that frequency. A distributor many years ago did a home frequency test on Idaho Blue Spruce and measured it at 580 MHz. This was because it was measured in warmer temperatures. You can make any oil a higher frequency by raising the temp or you can lower it by lowering the temperature.
Understanding now that measuring the frequency of the actual oil is not something you can replicate with any precise accuracy, let’s dive into what the science department at Young Living is working on, headed by Dr. Michael Buch our Chief Science Officer.
Phyto-molecules, or plant molecules, have the exact same structure, charge, and shape to fit into our human receptors. This is very interesting because it is not random. The precision and accuracy is absolutely incredible!
You may have heard about receptors and receptor chemistry. The basics of receptor chemistry is that there are specific chemical messengers that bind to a specific receptor that cause a specific response. Not all messengers fit into all receptors. It is like a lock and key. A good example of this is your senses. When an aromatic messenger is near you, it will fit into the receptors that trigger your sense of smell. Those same messengers do not fit into your sight receptors. In essential oils there are several types of messenger molecules. Some are the aroma messengers, some are the sense of touch molecules (think about the cooling sensation of Peppermint), while others are a specific action molecule that fits into other receptors to help your body perform at its best.
As Dr. Buch put it, “We are more impressed about the frequency generated in the nervous system by your nerves after these molecules bind to specific receptors that were designed to receive them.” He went on to say, “It creates a frequency in your nervous system which is actually an electrical impulse. It is a precise frequency - the same every time!”
What he was taking about is that it is more important for us to study clinical frequency rather than molecular frequency. He wants to understand the frequency that is generated by your body, in your body, by the molecules of the oils.

A Career or a Calling? Luke 5
Have you ever felt really bad about something you did? Something that hurt to the core? Have you ever hurt someone so badly because of your own pride or your own desires, and then afterward felt the deep heavy pain of that treachery?
Read Luke 5:1-11
Who is Simon Peter (Cephas)? Generally considered the leader of the 12 disciples Jesus renamed him as Peter Family by trade: Fishermen Brother Andrew also a fisherman Partners in business with James and John (sons of Zebedee aka Sons of Thunder) He was married Part of the inner circle along with James and John He was quick to speak and very reactionary. Foot in mouth syndrome FIM syndrome Attempted to walk on water Mountain of Transfiguration - let me build three shelters Foot washing in upper room - don’t wash my feet Jesus predicted all followers would fall away after he was crucified. - Peter said not him. Then he did deny him. Peter fell asleep at Jesus’ critical time of need in the garden of Gethsemane Peter cut off the ear of the guard coming to arrest Jesus Peter entered the tomb first
Jesus tells the men to let nets down. They were very reluctant. After the massive catch Peter realized EXACTLY who Jesus is. SIN They left EVERYTHING
They LEFT IT ALL BEHIND. Massive Landslide
DEEPER SHOCK MORE ASTONISHING REALITY Not that they left the “millions” worth
In the presence if GOD, Peter saw his sin for what it was. Ugly. Horrendous. Treacherous.
Is God asking you to leave your carrier behind? Everyone is different but the Bible has verse after verse about hard work. Work for earthly masters as if you are working for God. God made us to work. It is in us to want to do a good job. Our careers are not the issue. It is making them an IDOL that is the issue.
Do you WORSHIP your job?
David Foster Wallace on Worship at the 2005 Kenyon College graduation address. https://mbird.com/2008/09/more-david-foster-wallace-quotes/
“There is no experience you’ve had that you were not at the absolute center of.” It is hardwired in us to be self-centered. He states there is no such thing as atheism. No such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The choice is WHAT we worship. Examples he gives:
MONEY = you will never have enough or never FEEL you have enough. BEAUTY/BODY = you will always feel UGLY POWER = you will always feel way and afraid INTELLECT (being seen as smart) = always feel stupid or like a fraud.
Other areas I have added:
HUSBAND = you will never be enough for him SERVING = you helpers out there - always resentful that others don’t notice or help too. CAREER = you will never be enough, have enough, always wanting more.
WHAT IS YOUR CALLING?
Micah 6:8 New King James Version (NKJV) He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what the Lord requires of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
Take a moment to write down all the people, things, and talents that you have and are in your life. Write all the things that matter to you most such as your spouse, your children, your money, your looks, your career, and then imagine if God took it away from you. How would you react?
Allow God to metaphorically take everything away, and then one by one, bring it back to you. How would you steward that gift? Everything God has given you, your mind, your sight, where you live, your friends, your family, all is a gift from him. He desires you to be a good steward of it all. He does not want you to make an idol of any of it. Push out all the idols in your life. Give it all to God.
