• Applied Myrtle and Frankincense to the
thyroid, and on Vita Reflex Points.
• Took Frankincense internally.

 Observations – Patient
and July Lab Assessment
• These Young Living products really work!
(Better than I thought they would!)
• Patient had begun to feel overly warm.
• Patient had begun to feel a bit on edge in
retrospect.

development as player in high HDL on
original lab assessment and low thyroid
condition.

HOLLY HOUSE Center for Integrated HealthCare 37

 Revised Regimen
• Reduce Thyromin to 1C – 2X per day
• Continue with use of Myrtle and
Frankincense, Sulfurzyme, and NingXia
Red
• Add Endoflex 2 drops –2X per day
• Add Endoflex to Endocrine Vita Reflex
Points.
• Add Immupower 2 drops – 2X per day.
• Add one drop each Hyssop and Cistus.

HOLLY HOUSE Center for Integrated HealthCare 38

 Autoimmune Disease
• Occurs when the Immune System begins to
attack the body tissues “with the blessing”
of the CNS.
• Many researchers believe it is associated
with chronic infection, chronic allergies or
presence of toxins confusing our DNA
expression.
• Stealth pathogens can invade the inner cell
space leading the immune system to identify
the cell as problematic and then destroying
the cell and like tissues.

HOLLY HOUSE Center for Integrated HealthCare 39

Autoimmune Disease cont…
• The presence of toxins confuses cell
physiology with ensuing immune cell attack
• Autoimmune Disease is on the rise.
• Caseine and Gluten Sensitivity have been
linked with increased incidence of
autoimmune disease.
• 43% of US population has the gene for
gluten sensitization.
• All those with osteoporosis should be
screened for Celiac Disease.

The Importance of Iodine
• The primordial sea – Iodine was everywhere

• Gradual leaching of Iodine from the soil

• Mountainous areas plus Midwest low

Iodine – Goiters and Cretinism (High
occurrence in the Alps).

• Switzerland adds Iodine to salt – 1920’s

• Today - Due to low salt recommendations

and some of us avoiding commercial salts -
inadequate Iodine intake.

The Importance of Iodine

of Iodine

mcg per day, upper limit (TUL) 1100
