Warm Wishes this Thanksgiving Season

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Dear Friends,

We are just a few days away from another Thanksgiving and I wanted to take a few moments to publicly express my gratitude for a multitude of blessings I have received this year.

Reflecting on 2009, I give thanks to all those who have helped build Young Living into the world leader in essential oils. I have also met so many amazing distributors who have touched my life in ways I cannot express. Their enthusiasm and positivity continue to fuel my passion and love in bringing the healing gifts of essential oils to the world. It is with a deep and sincere heart that I say thank you.

To my lovely wife and beautiful children, you fill my life with joy and bountiful meaning. Thank you for allowing me to do my work and for being so patient as I travel the world helping others.

And finally, I thank God for giving me the health and purpose to continue my mission.

This Thanksgiving season, I invite you to do what you can to help others. Give your love, compassion, and time to help improve their lives. Whether it is donating canned goods, helping at a food bank, or visiting those in need, give a little of what you have received this year.

I also invite you to comment on what you have been thankful for this year. Let others hear your voice and gratitude.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I look forward to seeing so many of you soon!

Essentially Yours,

Gary Young

Research on Essential Oils, part III

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Gary Young thanks BYU Professor Cates and concludes that Young Living is bringing essential information about natural healing to the world.

I am extremely thankful for the great man Professor Cates is. He is stepping out and beyond the normal realm, looking at some of these things that we deal with today and enhancing the possibilities that are available to us. We’ve got a lot of work to do, a long ways to go. But I feel very hopeful. All it takes is just one person to catch the vision and to see the realness of what we’re doing to open the doors that come along. It is exciting because now I see that next step of my dream coming to reality. I will be forever grateful to Professor Cates for his willingness to incorporate Young Living into his research program so we can bring this information to the world!

Because we have seen many wonderful things, are experimenting in the field, and are involved in trial and error with oils, we are well on our way to making major breakthroughs. Professor Cates feels very much the way I do: that single oils have so much value. But my belief has always been that it is in compounding the oils that we’re going to find the hidden secrets that I refer to as the “missing link” in modern medicine. We have experienced this already with a couple of people by combining frankincense and ledum. Now it’s going back and identifying what is happening with these compounds when they come together. It creates that action and makes something happen. And we may never find, because of the hundreds of compounds, the exact science, but I believe that we will get close enough that we will be able to say this is it.

Essentially Yours,

Gary Young

Research on Essential Oils, part II

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Gary Young highlights the importance of discovering beneficial plant compounds and the role Young Living has in these efforts.

Perhaps you could look this over: We know where we come from; we know how important human life is. And yet we haven’t really taken advantage of all these natural resources that we have available to us. And we never will benefit from all of these opportunities until we realize that we truly are a part of the ecosystem. This means that we need to treat the environment in such a way that all of these opportunities will be preserved. This is one of the greatest goals of professor Rex Cates. As science works with businesses, we have the chance to work with people of all walks of life, to bring about the kinds of lives that we would like to live, and foster the type relationships that we would like to have.

As Professor Cates works all across the world, he is constantly seeking this type of beneficial collaboration. He has been to the tropical forests of Brazil and the islands of Tonga looking for plants that have health-promoting qualities and working with local people to start utilizing these plant compounds. It’s just very marvelous what’s going on! I don’t want to take any credit for that, except just to hope that we all will be in the right position to receive new direction. There are a lot of diseases that we are working on, that we have expertise in, and we’ve decided to work with these while we develop other areas and as we associate with different colleagues.

Is there any question in anyone’s mind that you’re not involved in the greatest company in the world? These things don’t come easy and it doesn’t happen without paying the dues and paying the price that it takes to make it happen. I want you to know that Young Living is a company that has paid the dues and will continue to pay the price to find the answers to the problems that we’re dealing with in this world. That’s who we are and that’s what we will be. And that’s what you’re part of—so be proud of what you’re part of because it is the greatest thing that’s happening on this planet right now!

Essentially Yours,

Gary Young
