AROMATHERAPY
"In actuality, the oils exert much of their therapeutic effect through their pharmacological properties and their small molecular size, making them one of the few therapeutic agents to easily penetrate the bodily tissues."~Dr. (rer. nat.) Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy
"The chemical makeup of essential oils gives them a host of desirable pharmacological properties ranging from antibacterial, antiviral, and antispasmodic, to uses as diuretics (promoting production and excretion of urine), vasodilators (widening blood vessels), and vasoconstrictors (narrowing blood vessels). Essential oils act on the adrenals, ovaries, and the thyroid and can energize or pacify, detoxify, and facilitate the digestive process."~Dr. (rer. nat.) Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy

If names are used that sound evasive, such as 'pure botanical perfume' or 'pure fragrance essence', that is an indication that the supplier is aware that the oils are not true essential oils."~Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy
"Pure essential oils are expensive. Often one thousand pounds of plant are needed to produce one pound of essence...if every oil in a line carries the same price tag, this is a sure sign of large-scale homogenization and adulteration for the production of sheer fragrance oils as opposed to essential oils...the prices of essential oils can differ."~Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy

"While aromatherapy is practiced by medical doctors in France, this has not been the case in England and the United States." ~Robert Tisserand, of London, England

"With the increasing demand for holistic health care and the 'green revolution', the demand for aromatherapy will increase, and hopefully we will reach the point where medical doctors incorporate it into their repertoire. It will become routine for doctors to send culture samples to the pharmacist for testing, and identify the relevant aromatherapy for the patient. The stress-relieving properties associated with aromatherapy make it an indispensable part of health care."~Robert Tisserand, of London, England

"For many common infectious diseases aromatherapy offers more effective and more wholesome solutions than conventional medicine."~Dr. (rer. nat.) Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy

Much of the future of aromatherapy will be determined through political processes."~Dr. (rer. nat.) Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy
"The powers in the medical 'market' will try to keep aromatherapy out because it threatens profits to the conventional medical establishment. However, the demand of the consumer for more and better access to alternative methods will continue to offset such vested interests and should do much to make aromatherapy more popular as a healing modality."~Dr. (rer. nat.) Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy

The more you practice, the better you get."~Patricia Norris, Ph.D., Clinical Director of the Biofeedback and Psychphysiology Clinic at the Center for Applied Psychophysiology at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas

"By keeping the body as subluxation-free as possible through chiropractic adjustments and living a sensible, wellness-oriented lifestyle, we can significantly enhance the body's natural restorative powers."~Terry A. Rondberg, D.C., President of the World Chiropractic Alliance

"By removing subluxations that interfere with the normal functioning of the nervous system, a person in a drug treatment center is more likely to complete his or her term of stay because the person now can meet the needs of all the other modalities that are offered as treatment. We have less people with drug detox or withdrawal symptoms. Their physical complaints are almost eliminated and they can now concentrate on dealing with their addiction."~Sir Jay Holder, M.D., D.C., Ph.D., of Miami, Florida

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
"For instance, he [Fulford] regularly cured young children of recurring ear infections by simply, in his words, 'freeing up their breathing and getting their tailbone [sacrum] unstuck' so that it could get back into normal respiratory [craniosacral rhythm] motion. When this motion is restricted, fluid backs up in the ear, providing a perfect breeding ground for bacteria." ~Andrew Weil, M.D., writes about Bob Fulford, a retired osteopthic physician and instructor of craniosacral therapy
