Immunologist Mahmoud Suhail: "Cancer starts when the DNA code within the cell's nucleus becomes corrupted. It seems Frankincense has a re-set function. It can tell the cell what the right DNA code should be. Frankincense separates the 'brain' of the cancerous cell - the nucleus - from the 'body' - the cytoplasm, and closes down the nucleus to stop it reproducing corrupted DNA codes."
1. I really like your Frankincense carterii, and it is SO affordable! I also like the Frankincense frereana, but I was used to using carterii and find it as lovely as the one from YL. It quickly takes care of the tiny sore spots I get on my nose. - Barbara
2. I have something similar to neuropathy that is limited to the top of my foot. I am a missionary in Panama and have not had a doctors diagnosis, but that's the closest thing I can come up with when Googling my symptom. The symptom is this sudden onset of a feeling like a severe stabbing sunburn without the heat sensation. It comes and goes in minute segments, and then may not flare up for several hours or sometimes hourly. I roll on a mixture of oils and use Icy Hot with lidocaine and it feels better, but it has been consistently bothersome because it's a sudden and very uncomfortable pain - like someone suddenly touching sunburned skin. This has been going on for a few months. I also have Vertigo. A few days ago I was hit with dizziness, and what always works is Frankincense on the roof of my mouth. It tastes horrible, but it's worth it! It's been a game changer for me! Frankincense on the roof of my mouth typically knocks out dizziness within 15 minutes. What unexpectedly occurred - much to my amazement - it knocked out my nerve pain in my foot. I still have flare ups, but it knocks it out completely for hours. When I was applying oils topically, I would have relief for an hour, but I could still feel something wrong. I haven't tried Frankincense topically because it has been working orally - just a drop. I am so pleasantly surprised that I just had to share ! I don't know how it works, but it's wonderful to have relief! - Libby
3. I had numerous skin growths on my body that my MD told me thought "could be cancer." I applied the carterii on the spots on one side of my body and the frereana/carterii on the other side of my body so I could see which of these would work the best. The spots where I applied the frereana/carterii changed more quickly, so for me, I feel it is more effective. - Pe 4. Frankincense really helped my son when he had a concussion. - Diane 5. Frankincense carteri has kept my dog, who was dying slowly from cancer, very much alive and has fought it back to where she is not in daily pain. She has had a miraculous turn around twice, from death bed, time to be put down then better. She's still sadly old and dying, but this has made her days tolerable, not miserable, and it has kept us from having to put her down unnecessarily. I mix several drops diluted in olive oil and slather it over her cancers several times daily. We also give her CBD for pain and stiffness. - Mimi 6. I noticed a red spot on my nose while I was caring for my elderly mother. I focused on her needs and left it untreated. After some time, my mother passed, and once things settled and I was back home, I began applying Frankincense fereana/carterii and coconut oil 2x a day, just in case it was some sort of skin cancer. I did this for 3 years. After 3 years, I saw a dermatologist who confirmed by biopsy that I had the beginning stage of squamous cell carcinoma. He recommended surgery removal. I immediately went home and made a paste with Frankincense, coconut oil and baking soda. I used this on the spot 3x a day for two months leading up to the surgery. The day of the surgery, the doctor only took one layer of skin off my nose. He didn’t feel the need to go any deeper. He came back in the room and told me that there was NO cancer. Two months earlier when he tested the skin, it was there. I told him what I had been doing and he said that the mixture with the abrasive helped slough off the cancerous skin. I am so thankful for your oils! I am now cancer-free. - Alice
7. I like frereana/carterii for muscle and nerve issues. I like the carterii for calming/anxiety. - Rachel 8. Frankincense has helped some of my clients with uterine disorders such as fibroid cysts and other imbalances of the endocrine system. Some apply it topically, others use it diluted on an organic tampon. - Aggi 9. I applied Frankincense carterii on my son's wart - although not consistently. I was very pleasantly surprised when the wart turned dark and then disappeared. - Melissa 10. Frankincense carterii is deflating/shrinking/fading a large 60-year-old mole on my husband’s back. This little rascal (the mole, not my husband *_*) was large enough for the US government to refer to it in their official description of him for his military identification! - Fran 11. Frankincense carterii (sacra) helps me so much with the pain of plantar fasciitis. It gets a handle on the pain! I don't want to be without it. - Clara
