Bone Marrow Transplant Success

CARE graduate Dixie Shaff contacted Dr. Stewart at CARE recently to thank him for answering the question, 'Can Oils & Drugs be Used Safely at the Same Time?' in his recent Raindrop Messenger newsletter. She agrees that oils and drugs can be used together safely as she writes...”For further confirmation, my 19 year old son, Tom, had a bone marrow transplant in the Fall of 2007 at the University of Iowa.

We were given permission by the physicians after the pharmacists gave their approval to use Young Living supplements and essential oils in the hospital during his stay. He continued to use them after the bone marrow transplant for a couple of years as well as 2.5 years before his bone marrow transplant.

He is the only patient from the U of I Pediatrics Hematology Department that has never relapsed after a bone marrow transplant. He also never had a graph versus host disease. And, most importantly, the doctors informed us long after the bone marrow transplant that they never expected him to live let alone to be so successful.

He is the only CGD (chronic granulomatous disease) patient 'fixed' (healed) of this incurable, potentially fatal, x-linked blood disorder that took the life of his older brother (2005) and his little nephew (2010).

So, did they give us permission to use YLEO because they believed they would help? Probably not. (smile) They more than likely allowed us to use them, just to get me off their backs. (smile)”

Dixie concluded by sharing that her son received a Raindrop at least once a month 2 years prior to the bone marrow transplant and 2 years after. She said “I believe the raindrop to be key in his healing.”
