In 2015 a harsh reality hit close to home. My mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer which was later discovered that the cancer had been chemo resistant and actually progressed towards her lymph nodes. (If you ask me… the 2 month break that she was given due to Dr’s. Vacations and the “Holidays”) Put a stop to my mother receiving Chemotherapeutic care actually resulted in a very aggressive cancer taking charge with vengeance. Surgery was expected once the tumor decreased… because at the time the tumor was the size of a Grown Man’s fist. (That was what I was told by the Dr. himself) surgery was around my birthday once again… (I might add for 3 years straight Feb. was a dreadful month) My mother had a double mastectomy and a full hysterectomy and of course biopsies were performed during the operation … only to find out that the nipples came back positive for cancerous cells… and a week after her surgery she had to have another surgery to remove the nipples entirely. At the beginning of this year on Feb 15, 2017 she had a full reconstruction done. ( Excess tissue was removed from her lower stomach and her own body fat was then placed in the chest cavity and … the rest is history) .. My grandmother’s medical history I shall save for another day.
I started to do research on everything and anything as to what could be done holistically to improve health conditions and just help prevent the likelihood of Cancer; Also, to possibly make a difference in others lives. I have tons of research written down all done thanks to the wonderful good old fashion Public Library not to forget Barnes and Nobles and lots to Starbucks coffee ! 🙂 – Last but not least the Internet. [Keep in mind none of this information is intended to replace professional medical treatment] – Out of curiosity I just began to investigate for myself and I’ll share as much as I can …
- Lavender Oil: Has been found to have antifungal properties and test have proven that it helps fight candida.
- Lemon: Kills MRSA
- Oregano: Anti-bacterial properties ; some have even used it as an antibiotic alternative.
- Lemongrass: This oil has been found to fight the toughest multi-drug resistant organisms.
- Thyme: Effective against germs.
- Ginger: Relieves Stress but great on killing bacteria and viruses and awesome for floor cleaning purposes.
- Spearmint: Anti-bacterial
- Rosemary: Disinfectant purposes and great scent.
- Frankincense: Potentially good in helping fight cancer.

Several if not ALL of these Essential Oil types and others not listed have amazing properties that aren’t expressed above. I recommend doing additional research for more information.
