How to you go from 10 million annual revenue to over 2 billion in just a few years? Easy, just use some borrowed trade secrets. Just kidding, they didn't do that.

I love essential oils and, and like most of you, gave them a free pass until I had the unfortunate luck to meet a woman named Marije Berkelaar who introduced me to Samantha Lotus. I greatly admired Marije, as she was outspoken in 2020 about corruption and made a heartfelt viral video explaining why she gave up her medical license. I was so moved that I did a podcast with her about her journey. Afterwards, she insisted that I absolutely had to interview with her friend. I did, and after the interview, Samantha, being syrupy sweet, invited me to a way-too-friendly video call with Marije. She said it was because I was so remarkable and on their same wavelength that we had to connect more often and support each other. Of course, I wanted that—who wouldn't? But something didn’t feel quite on the up and up. They seemed way too excited to connect with me and schedule a video call. I felt like an innocent schoolgirl getting groomed by the older, prettier popular girls. Except they didn’t want me to give them my lunch money, these gals had a higher more expensive purpose in mind.

As predicted, there was something not quite right. Of course, it was a trap. They didn’t want to be friends with me; they wanted me to make money for them. They were the beautiful, well-dressed pimps, and I was the dewy-eyed first-time recruit. Ah, the old familiar smell of multi-level marketing scams and schemers. Naturally, they had a preset lecture to shock and awe me, and Samantha, who was the top dog, was demonstrating her closing techniques to Marije, using me as an easy target.

I’m embarrassed to admit they got me for a cool $385 along with the starter pack of essential oils. I justified the purchase by telling myself that I needed them; I probably would have bought them anyway. I convinced myself to believe their story about the essential oils not being labeled organic—it was supposedly due to political reasons preventing them from obtaining the USDA certification. They claimed the oils were "essentially organic," sourced from all over the globe, which was why it wasn't possible to label them organic.

In my defense, I canceled the subscription as soon as my order arrived and haven’t paid another cent to the company since. I discarded the oils after developing a rash and becoming increasingly suspicious that they weren’t what they claimed to be. I have an excellent sense of smell and can usually detect chemicals vs naturals. After a recent I felt rather mean interaction with Samatha Lotus who blocked my from her channels for asking for a quote about doTerra and her MLM tactics. She said she was glad I wasn’t in her group as she found me arrogant and supercilious or something like that word I had to look up. I too am glad as it saved me thousands of dollars of having to sign up for a membership where they send you essential oils whether you sell them or not. I have a beautiful friend who has a closet full of their oils and is to sweet to push them on her friends, and to timid to cancel. MLM’s favorite victim, I mean wellness advocate.

I observe this frequently with colleagues in the medical profession who leave their jobs on moral grounds, only to end up promoting various forms of MLM products to the public—essentially unchanged professions, just different products. From ozone therapies to lightwave patches to essential oils, maintaining friendships with MLM participants can be challenging as conversations frequently shift toward subtle sales pitches, always necessitating an escape plan to dodge the constant sales narrative. And their social media feed is always about selling you something. I don’t know about you but its tiresome and hitting the saturation point for me.

When we dive deeper into the essential oil market, we find a booming industry with a promising future. With a compound annual growth rate nearing 12%, it's evident that the sector is thriving. However, the rapid transformation of this once-humble industry into a multi-billion dollar empire inevitably leads to corner-cutting, questionable business practices, and a focus on quantity over quality. My primary inquiry when researching the essential oil industry was whether they genuinely have the supply to satisfy the demand. Do we have adequate quantities of lavender, roses, and other plants to produce the essential oils being sold for upwards of $800 an ounce?

How it all began…

Ancient Civilizations: The use of aromatic plants and oils dates back to the earliest recorded history. The Egyptians, around 3500 BC, were among the first to document the use of essential oils and plant extracts. They used them for embalming, with oils like myrrh and cedarwood playing crucial roles due to their preservative properties. Additionally, essential oils were used in cosmetics and medicine, believed at the time to promote health and spiritual well-being. Of course if you are at all versed in true history, you know how completely corrupt the usurpers of the royal Egyptian Lines are. They were satanic ritualistic demon worshipers, and that was on a good day. They were the ones that realized slaves work better with a beer after a hard week of being a slave and invented beer. They are a little more clever today and follow the first rule of slave ownership. Never let them know they are slaves and they will buy their own been and coffee.

Greek and Roman Influence: The Greeks and Romans expanded on these uses. Hippocrates, often called the father of modern medicine, advocated for the use of aromatic baths and massages. The Romans capitalized on the aromatic benefits of essential oils in their public baths, using them both for relaxation and as remedies for health issues. So it’s not Rockefeller who corrupted the medical system he just capitalized further on it.

wrote a brilliant article that breaks down the origins of our medical system as we know it. This article should be required reading for anyone before the contract with the medical system as a patient. You are literally agreeing to have spells cast on your hubris from urine, feces and blood you willingly donate.

Asian Practices: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, particularly Ayurveda, essential oils have played a longstanding role. Their use in these regions focused on balancing mind, body, and spirit, with oils such as sandalwood, ginger, and turmeric becoming staples in therapeutic practices.

Development of Distillation: The distillation of essential oils was significantly refined during the Middle Ages with the rise of alchemy. The Persian polymath Avicenna is credited with the development of steam distillation, a method that allowed for more effective extraction of essential oils from plant materials. This technique spread throughout Europe by the 11th century, facilitating the widespread use of oils for medicinal purposes. Remember however, anything that uses alcohol will kill any living microbes, change bacteria and alter molecules that are not conducive to health and wellness. It may smell good, but has a price tag against your health.

Reasons Behind Early Use

1. Medicinal Properties: Certain plant extracts were found to alleviate ailments, leading to their use as early forms of medicine. Essential oils like eucalyptus, oregano, and tea tree were used for respiratory issues and to combat detox-related symptoms.

2. Religious and Spiritual Use: Essential oils have been used in rituals to purify spaces, mediate spiritual connections, and anoint individuals, from ancient Egyptian ceremonies to Christian rituals using frankincense and myrrh. It's important to approach these historical practices with discernment, as similar uses are found in satanic practices.

In various spiritual practices, including the very similar Satanic rituals, essential oils play a significant role. They're used to enhance the atmosphere and amplify energy during ceremonies. Placing essential oils in a diffuser with water and lighting a tea candle beneath can spread the fragrance throughout the ritual space.

Anointing candles with essential oils is common, where practitioners focus on their intentions as they apply the oils. This is believed to charge the candles with energy, released when the candle burns during spell-casting.

Specific oils are chosen based on symbolic properties—for instance, patchouli and mint for prosperity and abundance. Furthermore, entities like Luciferian Apotheca create ritual oils for specific uses in witchcraft and sorcery, whether in Luciferian Witchcraft or broader Satanic practices.

The practices seen in certain spiritual rituals today can sound remarkably similar to those of ancient Egypt. Awareness and understanding of historical and modern contexts are crucial in examining these practices and their implications. You wouldn’t want to unwittingly purchase an oil that had been tampered with like Liquid Death brand water that has a real witch cast demon spells into the water.

Modern Extraction and Use

Today, the production of essential oils has become more refined, with steam distillation, cold pressing, and solvent extraction being the primary methods. The industry has expanded exponentially, with these oils used extensively in aromatherapy, natural cleaning products, skincare, and alternative medicine. Essential Oil Companies like doTerra use all methods of extraction according to their website. The solvent method is the most toxic, with hexane and ethanol being used to extract the fragrance and oils. Steam distillation requires temperatures for optimal steam distillation typically fall between 140° F and 212° F! Do you really thing much of the essence of the plant remains? Co2 processing is even worse. Cold pressing sounds like the most viable for retaining the healing properties of the plant, but is a long, costly laborious procedure and hard to turn a billion dollar profit if your are cold pressing all your oils. Click the picture below for doTerra’s explanation on their methods of extraction. They don’t seem to care that you know, which is great.

The question remains, is it really possible for companies selling billions of dollars worth of products to have enough flowers and plants to create the amounts they are selling? Let's consider the scale: an acre of English lavender produces about 1-1.5 gallons of essential oil, while an acre of French lavender yields between 4.2 and 5.4 gallons. According to recent market analysis, the value for lavender oil in the United States is estimated at $15.5 million, with global sales reaching $138.2 million. Averaging the cost per ounce at around $15—which translates to about $240 per gallon—means approximately 575,000 gallons of essential oil are sold at market price.

To produce one gallon of lavender essential oil, a significant amount of lavender is required-approximately 2,000 pounds of lavender are necessary to produce one gallon of oil. With each acre yielding 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of dried buds, making 575,000 gallons annually would require about 1.2 billion pounds of lavender or approximately 1,142,857 acres. However, even conservatively, these numbers don't seem to add up against a global cultivation. The industry has some es’plainin’ to do.

Provence France, one of the significant centers worldwide produces around 62,000 acres. Not to mention the South of France is having issues growing lavender. They blame it on climate change, because, well everything is due to climate change, even weight gain, blood clots, high blood pressure, smartmeter wildfires and flat tires. There solutions is for the public to expect some changes in how the lavender is “grown”. I can see the woke mobs demanding all plants be grown in a lab and all materials be synthetic chemicals to combat global warming or whatever CNN and The View told them to fear.

Switching gears, if someone were to create synthetic oil, what would the process entail? You would want your board of directors, CEOs, and employees to have a background in chemistry—and avoid using trade secrets from former employers.

Focusing on doTERRA, they've rocketed from a few million in sales at their inception in 2008 to a multi-billion-dollar enterprise. The company was founded by entrepreneurs with connections to the Church of LDS, including David Stirling, Emily Wright, and David Hill, who were previously with Young Living, another MLM essential oils company. doTERRA, meaning "gift of the Earth," launched with 25 single oils and ten blends. Not implying anything here, but if another company, like purifyWithin, surged from $200,000 to $400 million in ten years, questions would certainly arise.

In August 2013, Young Living sued doTERRA for allegedly stealing trade secrets and mimicking their production methods. There were claims of synthetic chemicals in so-called "organic" products. Despite this controversy, doTERRA continued to expand globally, boasting 450 employees by 2013 and planning a new headquarters in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Their offerings expanded to more than 150 products including essential oils and personal care items by the following year.

doTERRA's website highlights their philanthropic efforts, including donations and support for several organizations. The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, aids communities globally with initiatives like building stoves in Nepal and Guatemala and providing relief packs during natural disasters. However, the company does not donate to individuals or directly to religious or political organizations.

Creating Synthetic Essential Oils

Again, nothing to do with any of the aforementioned companies or trade secrets, if you were going to turn a huge profit, or make oils that didn’t take the environment or create “carbon” you could opt for synthetic oils made the same way they make vitamins, supplements and prescription drugs. Synthetic essential oils are developed through a laboratory process rather than using plant materials. Kind of like trade secrets of “borrowed” business practices. Kind of like this video of these chemists fiddling around with flavors and scents to titillate your tastebuds. Again nothing to do with the above companies. But if you wanted to trick folks, here would be an easy way to do it…

Here's a breakdown of how these are made:

• Chemical Synthesis: In a controlled lab setting, chemists use various chemicals to precisely synthesize molecules identical to those found in natural oils. This involves detailed organic chemistry techniques, sometimes beginning with petrochemical bases.

Don’t we all love petrochemicals diffusing through our houses? Forget chemtrails, your making them inside your house for 1/2 the price of spraying the skies.

• Scent Formulation: After the aromatic compounds are synthesized, they're carefully blended in specific proportions to match the scent profile of the desired essential oil. This step is crucial for achieving the intended aroma and characteristics. The same steps are used to make your laundry soap, vanilla ice cream and Channel Number 5 smell fasmatabulous!

• Quality Control: Each batch of synthetic oil undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent quality and uniform scent—an aspect easier to achieve than with natural oils, which vary due to differences in plant materials.

• Packaging and Distribution: Following “quality assurance”, these oils are packaged for distribution to industries like personal care, perfumery, and soap production.

The synthetic oils do not have to be marked as synthetic if the majority is natural, using, for example, “organic” canola oil with a few drops of synthetic chemical scent could be listed, technically as organic essential oil. Essential Oils are not evaluated by the FDA so pretty much anything goes. As long as you don’t pretend they treat or cure diseases, then the good ol gov’ment is gonna step in. They don’t like anyone else messing with a piece of their pie. So whats an innocent church run company to do if some entanglements have occurred? Make some donations.

• Angus King: According to a report by the American Independent, doTERRA contributed to Angus King, an independent senator from Maine. However, the exact amount is not specified in the available information.

• Debbie Stabenow: Federal election filings show that doTERRA donated over $20,000 to Debbie Stabenow, a Democratic senator from Michigan.

• Maggie Hassan: doTERRA also donated over $20,000 to Maggie Hassan, a Democratic senator from New Hampshire.

These donations highlight doTERRA's involvement in political contributions, despite the company's history of making health claims and facing regulatory scrutiny.

Throw a little money at it. Well a lot of money actually. And you all thought DeSantis was the good guy, playing 5D chess and telling you he go the Johnson and Johnson vax, but used essential oils to get rid of his symptoms. I’m sure this isn’t significant or related but Ron DeSantis also accepted $600,000 in contributions from billionaire John W. Childs, owner of the equity firm J.W. Childs Associates.

• Childs was arrested in 2019 for allegedly soliciting prostitutes at a Florida spa which was connected to a human trafficking ring, though the charges were ultimately dropped in 2020. Seems some stones keep turning up ties to sex trafficing rings according to the internet. Not that DeSantis has any ties, but has no issues taking money from whoever hands it to him to say whatever they want him to.

• Politics, in my opinion are nothing more than to prove to the public, aka working slaves that we have the illusion of choice, someday a wonderful politician is going to save us, drain the swamp, grant us freedom, take fluoride (also initially a rat poison) out of the water while leaving in 7999, but hooray for the one they took out! We are winning.

doTerra also donated a large around of money to Tim Ballard a member of Hollywood spell casters R Us who is also linked to sex scandals. Classic smoke an mirrors to make a movie to again give the slaves a “victory”. Check out my two podcasts with Dr. Juliette Engle the author of Angels Over Moscow, sex magik MK Ultra survivor relayed in our second podcast how she just made the industry more clever about their tactics to lure bus loads of young orphans in Russia into the sex trades. Please read her book and watch our podcast here:

American anti-human trafficking? and Hollywood elite ultra connected business man

As of February 20, 2024, Tim Ballard, Brigham Young University, the founder of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), was ousted as CEO amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Tammy Lee was appointed as the new CEO. The organization, now known as OUR Rescue, continues its work under new leadership following the departure of Ballard. That is rather interesting, I wasn’t expecting this. And there is this little piece on Tim Ballard, that seems rather suspicious as well.

I don’t like “The Fittest Flat Earther” or agree with everything he has, but some of the information is rather undeniable. He also posts a lot of nonsense to make you look crazy if you talk about it in public, and I am banned from his Instagram for daring to question his videos, but it makes you stop and think. We are deceived and lied to at every step. No matter which giant company we want to investigate, why does it always seem to relate back to shady practices, psychopathic CEOs, illegal dealings, convicted criminals, sex trafficking, or P. Diddy dealings? Nature of the beast, I believe. Don’t hate the players; hate the game. And stop playing with them.

My takeaway from all of this is to stop purchasing anything from multi-million dollar corporations that get sued for stealing trade secrets and donate money to less than stellar humans. Find a local hippie who makes essential oils by hand and use them sparingly. I started making oil of oregano, which I actually think is a miracle oil, by simply getting my homegrown oregano—crushing it up, as it grows like a weed—local Sepay olive oil, and letting it sit for a few months. You can do the same with hydrosols in your kitchen, and then you KNOW where it is coming from and that it is completely safe. The solution is always for your benefit, my benefit, and the planet as a whole.

I make my own lotions creams, cleansers, shampoo’s conditioners, serums, all from people I know or have met, that you can actually eat. You can eat my bathroom cleaner, my laundry soap and my shampoo, nothing in my house is toxic or purchased from psychopathic organizations.

As always, my message is clean. Trust the Devine Voice from within, trust yourself, trust your wisdom, trust yourself and use your God given discernment. I do not monetize my podcast, it costs me about $80 a month to run. I don’t accept affiliate links, I don’t sell MLM garbage designed to poison you or drain your wallet, I’m not sponsored my anyone. I do however greatly appreciate those of you who have been kind enough to support me with donations here on substack, ko-fi and buy me a coffee. I want to sincerely thank each and everyone who has supported me with kind comments, emails of support, and donations. It means the world and helps keep the house running and a second of free to continue uncovering ways to stay safe and free from the next snake oil con job.
