I have been taking it for my chronic pain and it has really helped me a lot- I am completely off all my prescription drugs! I know so many people that would benefit from CBD oil, for various conditions, including cancer, but I am receiving some weird push back from the Christian community who don’t  seem to understand the difference in illegal drugs and CBD oil, and also the people who think it is just another pyramid scheme. What would you say to both of these groups of people? - Janet in Atlanta Q2 - 18:09 My niece is currently undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer and I can’t get her to consider an alternate approach to chemo, however, I have convinced her to take some essential oils IN ADDITION to the chemotherapy. What are the best oils that I should give her to help with the side effects, and what oils can I give her to possibly help the cancer from spreading or coming back? - Anette in Harrisonburg Q3 - 21:22 Since I cleaned up my diet, and focused on eating 80% clean, my thyroid is functioning so much better. I have significantly decreased the dosage of my medication. I really want to get off thyroid medication completely, and am curious how essential oils can help me with this goal? - Sandra in North Carolina Q4 - 28:59 What is your opinion on ingesting/swallowing essential oils? There are a lot of mixed reviews. Are there certain brands that are better to swallow than others, and are there certain oils that should not be swallowed? Also, I was taught that I need to put a carrier oil in my capsule but I don’t understand the point to that because once you swallow it and the capsule dissolves, it’s all going to the same place at the same time anyways! - Erica in Minnesota Q5 - 36:38  I struggle with really bad anxiety, but really don’t want to get on medication because I’ve heard stories from my friends. What are some of the best essential oils that I can use for my anxiety, and how should I be taking them- diffusing, swallowing, rubbing them on me, etc? I tried diffusing one oil called “Stress Away” which is a blend, at night time, and it gave me CRAZY dreams- which is the opposite of the effect I was going for lol. Do you think this caused my weird dreams or was it a coincidence? - Alex in Bedford Q6 - 41:58  I once went to an essential oil “party” where they were selling oils. The lady who led the party said that if there is an oil whose smell really offends us, our body is telling us that we need and crave that oil. Do you agree with this, and is there any truth to it? If so, will you explain? I’ve noticed one smell in particular that I can’t STAND is Clary Sage, and I’ve struggled with hormonal imbalance my whole life.  This kind of made met think her theory is true? - Jamie in Suffolk Q7 - 45:12 I want to start diffusing some oils in my office that will help make everyone alert and productive, especially in that afternoon slump. What are some of the best oils that I can diffuse that won’t be too strong smelling,
