Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: Frankincense in Oman

Love this! I think the more they try this type of stuff, the more desperate other companies look....

sorry, but i had to snicker at the fact that daniel holden goes to great lengths to keep names out of it, but dr. pappas knew exactly who he was referring to, and then proceeds to call them on the carpet.

my aunt uses YL oils. we got to see her a few weeks ago, and we tried broaching the discussion of doterra with her. we were met with what i thought was a rather cold shoulder. and i know my aunt. she's never distant. she's always warm, funny, loving ... but when we tried talking to her about essential oils JUST as a general topic, she walked away and never attempted to talk to any of us (my wife and i, my brother and his wife, my mom ... there are a *lot* of doterra champions in our family) about anything oil related. oh well. she even had a bad cough. we offered her some breathe, and she said, "no ... i have my own oils, thanks."

"well, have you used them?"

"yah."

*awkward pause as we figure out a way to tell her that a) they're not working and b) she still has a horrible cough*

"well, get better soon!"

it's what i love about doterra--the over-arching feeling of warmth and general appreciation for other's choices. i don't see that a lot with non-doterra EO users.

I want to share an excerpt from the Essential Oil University blog about Oman as a source for frankincense. You may recall that the most recent YL video includes experts stating that Frankincense does not come from Oman. The EOU blog contains extensive scientific discussions about the falsity of YL's claims about the natural presence of boswelic acid in their "distilled" frankincense. If you'd like more excerpts from that discussion, let me know. This may be helpful if you encounter questions from others who've seen the YL video.

About Oliban, more bibliography could be found @ http://www.cropwatch.org/Frankincense%20biblio%201.11.pdf (for instance pp15-16; p26) and @ http://www.cropwatch.org/Frankincense%20feature%20extended.pdf (species origin from p1 -)
But of course its the hydrodistillation point and using ignorance to hijack scientific facts that shocks me profoundly.

Robert Pappas • Thanks for those links Laure. If Tony says Boswellia frereana is in Oman (and if you read the links its clear that he does) then I would believe his opinion above just about anyone else. I have known Tony for a long time and he has probably traveled to more essential oil distillation locations than just about anyone alive today.

• Hi Robert,

I appreciate your feedback and the time you have taken to comment. As I said from the outset, this query follows on from the discussion you created about the boswellic acid debate. I was curious to see if the same company (and indeed we are talking about YL) were making a bogus claim that the frereana species is not from Oman. They are so clear on the matter, that they have written papers calling another company a liar. That's a pretty serious allegation.

From your latest comment and Laure's, it seems that they are indeed caught in the act of making a second bogus claim.
