needing advice on treating a client

[Pat Sanfan]

Hi,

A regular client that has been coming to see me for the past 8 months has just been told that she has a brain tumor, and although she is fully aware that massage can not replace the medical treatment she is due to have she has told me she would like me to do the aromatherapy that i normally do and base it on helping her be at peace with her condition. i guess as i have a close friendship with this wonderful lady as i do with all my clients i wish to get further advice on what mixes of oils may be of help.

CANCER
NOTE: No cancer treatment should be undertaken without consulting a licensed medical practitioner.

The essential oil applications listed here can be used to complement the effectiveness of conventional cancer therapies. These essential oil applications should continue until the cancer is in remission.

Groundbreaking research slated to be published in 2004 at Brigham Young University for the first time identified essential oils which effectively kill cancer cells while being non-toxic to normal cells (non neoplastic cells). Some of the most effective oils studied included sandalwood essential oil which inhibited growth by up to 90% of several different types of cancer cells (cervical, breast, skin and prostate) while having little or no harmful effect on normal cells. Sandalwood showed excellent action even at very small concentrations (100 ppm). Tsuga, thyme, grapefruit, and thyme linalool also showed low normal cell toxicity and strong anticancer action.
Oils rich in limonene, such as lemon, orange, tangerine, and Idaho balsam fir have been shown in clinical studies to have potent anticarcinogenic effects. According to a study at the University of Indiana, "monoterpenes would appear to act through multiple mechanisms in the chemopre-vention and chemotherapy of cancer." Studies using 1-15 grams a day of limonene in very advanced cancer patients resulted in almost 20% of the patients going into remission.
To enhance the action of essential oils, strong cleansing and nutritional building programs are required.

All cancers are best treated in the early stages by alternating and varying the essential oils used each week, so the cancer cells do not build up a resistance to the treatment.
The following are regarded generally as anti-cancerous oils:

Single Oils:
Helichrysum, lemon, orange, tangerine, ledum, sandalwood, lavender, clove, thyme, Idaho balsam fir, tsuga, frankincense, myrtle

Brain Tumor
Single Oils:
Frankincense, grapefruit, clove, tsuga, blue cypress

EO Applications:
TOPICAL:
[blockquote]
NEAT or DILUTE 50-50, if needed, 2-4 drops to temples, forehead, mastoids and back of neck, 2-6 times daily
[/blockquote]
The oils studied were all therapeutic grade essential oils. Properties of synthetic oils will be different, so care should be taken to ensure the quality of essential oils used.

Super reply to the query. Except I do go on and on about the lack of REAL Sandalwood around.

Thank you for the advice, The client knows that the treatments I can give are complimentry to the treatment from her doctor, she has also informed him of the aromatherapy treatments and has been given appropriate advice by the G.P.

My basic understanding after todays treatment is that she is just after stress relief so i have given her some bath oils mixed and the amounts for her to use.
