Black Paste and Parasite Treatments


Here is a recent account from one of our Blog Members, a healer from Anchorage AK; and her friend’s experience with a parasitic infection.  Thank you so much for sharing this amazing journey!
Approximately 2-1/2 years ago, this person was diagnosed with Babesiosis.  Babesia is a genus of parasitic protozoans which affect several vertebrates, including humans. Babesiosis, the disease caused by the Babesia parasite, is most common among dogs, cattle, horses, and rodents. All members of Babesia exhibit two life cycles: one in the invertebrate host (almost always ticks) and one in the vertebrate host, in this case human.

This person experienced severe flu type symptoms with extreme body aches particularly in the lower back.  The medication administered for Babebesia is called MEPRON, and it is very expensive; in excess of $1700.00 for a 21 day supply.   After one round of medication, test results showed negative for the parasite.  

It was later revealed that Babesia can “hide out” in the body, only to resurface at a later time, which is what happened.   Another round of MEPRON was administered.  Meanwhile, this person continued to experience severe body pain, especially in the back, spinal area.   Other joints were also affected, becoming stiff and sore.

After 2-1/2 years and 2 MEPRON treatments, the person decided to look for naturally based, alternative methods of parasite cleansing.  That is when he came to me.  I consulted with Kathryn, and it was determined that the Babesia was most likely hiding out in the spinal area and lower back.  

The natural treatment I used went like this:


Day 1:  After dousing, the treatment began with relaxation through hands-on Light Energy healing and massaging the back thoroughly using a combination of coconut oil, frankincense and lemon myrtle.

Day 2:  Using a Black Paste recipe recommended by Kathryn, a mixture of French Clay, herbs, essential oils and warm water almost to a pour consistency, the paste was spread evenly over the entire back from the base of the neck to the bottom of the spine. 



After approximately 30 minutes, the paste was removed with a wash towel and warm water. I was amazed at the visual results as there were strange veiny type patterns or 
markings and what appeared to be a red irritated area measuring approximately 6 to 8 inches long by 2 inches wide on the lower spine.




This did not appear any place else on the spine and my intuition immediately told me that this is the “parasite hide-out”!





The back was patted dry and drops of three oils, wormwood, oregano and thyme were applied to the entire spine and immediately the client experienced a burning type sensation only on the area that showed the redness. I again administered hands-on Light Energy healing to transmute the burning sensation and it stopped almost immediately.

The remainder of the day we spent relaxing and allowing the treatment to continue to be absorbed into the body. 

Day 3:  The following morning the pain that the client had been experiencing went from a 9 (intense) to a 3 (very mild) over night.


The following week, the entire treatment was repeated. I arrived back to Anchorage and received an email from this person 2 days later:

“Just wanted to let you know
The extreme pain in my lower back is gone!
I still am uncomfortable at times...but the crippling sensations
are gone :)
Thank you”

I encouraged him to continue the wormwood, oregano and thyme to the lower spinal area twice a week and he responded:

“I will definitely continue to use the oils as I know the healing power.... first hand...”

Kathryn’s comments:  This update came from her a couple of weeks later:  “I actually heard from my friend again and he is sooooo  totally stoked that he wakes up in the morning pain free!!”  I don't need to make any more comments, I think this story speaks for itself.  I will keep the Blog updated to progress or further developments in the future. 








Frankincense Quality and Sacred Juniper Heartwood

Here are a couple of questions/comments that came in recently.

On Frankincense:  There is so much controversy with frankincense lately, whether they have Boswellic Acid or not, whether they are pure or adulterated, and on and on.  Can you shed some light?



Yes, I have some thoughts on this.  First of all, it is very true that there is a great deal of adulteration and misrepresentation occurring among all of the essential oils on the commercial market.  Buying a known brand name, no matter what they say or advertise about their oils, is like rolling the dice--and the dice are rigged!

In 2000 I had the great fortune to meet up with a man named Harvey who had worked as a scientist for a very large body care product company.  He was given the job of quality control, and had to test every batch of essential oils and chemicals the company purchased.  He made it very clear to me that almost nothing that is sold on the market is pure.  There is way too much money to be made, the product has passed through way too many hands, and it is way too easy to "fool" even gas chromatography and mass spectrometry testing.  

The only way to have even a chance of purchasing something pure, according to Harvey, is to purchase oils directly from the distillers; and to work only with those distillers in whom you have built trust.  Any oils that make it onto the international market, are virtually guaranteed to be adulterated.

I believe it is important to find a source for your essential oils that you can trust.  Most purchasers can not afford to buy a pound or a kilogram of essential oil at a time directly from a distiller; nor would they want to store it for the 30 years or longer that it would take for a end-user to use up that much oil! 

So finding a source who is seeking the same level of quality that you are, is very important.  And it is also very important to develop your own ability to perceive quality.  In many cases, the nose, knows! 

This can be done by comparing as many high quality oils as you can get your hands on, to their commercially available counterparts.  If you can buy it in a chain store, it is not a pure high quality essential oil, no matter what you think it is!  Smell a true, high quality rose otto, and compare it to one that costs under $100 per 5ml bottle.  

Compare the aroma of hand distilled peppermint essential oil to one from a network marketing company.  Compare real, pure artisan distilled thyme, oregano, and basil to their health food store counterparts.  Your nose will become educated quickly.  

To this, I would like to add another viewpoint.  I have used kinesiology and dowsing (body dowsing or pendulum dowsing) to evaluate the quality of essential oils for many years.  Testing the oils by seeing how they affect a person's body and nervous system, can be one of the best forms of quality control; and also will give you an idea of which of the hundreds of oils available may be the best choice for a certain person.  

When we use information that comes directly through the physical body, we nearly eliminate the risk of adverse affects from impure oils; and the risk of encountering resistance to the oils.  We also increase the chances of having success with the oils we choose.  The body knows what it needs.  It is intelligent, as are the plants that the oils came from. 

Learning to read this is an important piece of owning a body, especially if you want to take care of that body naturally and avoid taking drugs and having surgeries, and live a vibrant, high frequency life.  

When I began working in the field of aromatherapy in 1998, I started out selecting oils for clients based on the scientific and anecdotal information available for their symptoms.  I had good results with all kinds of treatments, and over the next few years, our business grew rapidly because of the success rate.  

By 2000, I was no longer selecting my oils in that way.  Instead, I began to rely on kinesiology and/or dowsing to select oils for clients.  Once I made the switch, my success rate increased dramatically, going from "good" to "great".   I attribute this success to the fact that I was now working in co-creation with  the plant spirits, and the client's body.  There is a dramatic difference with this, in my experience.



Comment from a member's friend:


 I wanted to tell you that I am getting some info through the sacred heartwood of the juniper these days.  Remember you sent that to me a while back as a gift? I am finding juniper pieces in odd places  as if placed there just for me!  The heartwood is making me aware of my own heart and the central zone or core of myself that I am trying to find some peace within once again, now that our health ordeal has let up a bit .   I have the piece of wood on my night stand and I have been inclined to use many more wood/tree oils, as I mentioned.  I am enjoying them on myself as well.   What is the story behind this piece of sacred juniper? 

This beautiful and very aromatic wood is a rare gift from the great Juniper trees on the Kaibab Mountain near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Between about 6000 and 7000 feet elevation is a transition zone where towering Ponderosa pines, small Oak groves, and a very few Grandfather Juniper trees all live side by side.  It is the only area on the Kaibab where this is so.  

Most of the Juniper trees in our area grow at a slightly lower elevation, where water is a less available.  The more abundant water level at the higher elevation, produces Juniper trees with a much larger trunk diameter than usual.  And inside these large trees, at the very central core of their trunks, is a beautiful purple heartwood that carries a divine aroma of balsam and cedar.  

The trees are never cut down.  People are only allowed to harvest them on the Kaibab, when they are given freely; when they die and fall down to the ground.  In 2013, we were blessed with the gift of a tree of great size, and were able to harvest this wonderful heartwood, which is used as a smudge and for burning in ceremonies.

The Kaibab is one of the most sacred mountains on Mother Earth.  It is the gateway to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Mother Earth's spiritual center, galactic center, and the physical home of female energy for our planet.  Indigenous peoples from around the world know of the sacredness of this area.  

And many ancient cultures have left their mark in these canyons, where petroglyphs and pictographs abound, and Anasazi dwellings still stand under stone outcrops.  The magic of this country and its ancient secrets are carried in the sacred heartwood.  

I feel it has a special message for us, for this time;  reminding us Humans to remember our connection to the rest of the Planetary community.  Reminding us to trust the ancient ways of knowing that are anchored deep in our DNA; and to surrender to the process of change and integration that is enabling us Humans to step forward into our new role as Conscious Care-takers of Mother Earth

Thank you for sharing your experience with this gift.

Honoring The Change

I was going to save this writing for the next Food for Ascension update.  But the planetary changes that are occurring during this immediate time frame are so connected to this practice that I received a week ago from my Guides, that I feel compelled to share it now.

This is an active meditation that came in answer to a prayer for insight into the ways that I could relieve a full and stagnant feeling that was growing in my lower abdomen.

 The essential oil blend I was given to enhance this process is a blend of Melissa, Ravensare, Fenugreek, and Rose.  Apply a blend made from these oils to the abdomen, heart, and third eye area right before doing this practice.

The meditation has 2 parts.  The first part is appropriate for any adult--male or female--of child-bearing age.  The second part is only for those women who are experiencing the beginning  signs of menopause, have undergone surgery that created early menopause, or have entered or completed the several year process that we call menopause; or for men who are experiencing the male counterpart of menopause; both of which I will refer to as The Change.



Part 1
This can be practiced from a sitting position, standing, or lying down.  If you are lying down, you will need to imagine the hollow tube bending 90 degrees to enter Mother Earth after it has passed your feet.


  1. Close your eyes and relax.  
  2. Focus on your breathing, allowing it to become rhythmic.  Let go of any stress you may feel in your body.
  3. Become aware of a glowing golden light sphere located in the vicinity of your uterus (for women) or your prostate glands (for men).  
  4. Allow the golden light to expand to the size of a grapefruit. 
  5. On an out breath, send a hollow tube down between your legs and into the Earth, dropping deeper and deeper until it reaches the golden light of the still-point at the very center of Mother Earth.
  6. Take a few breaths and keep this connection in your awareness.
  7. On an in breath, draw the golden light from the center of Mother Earth up the hollow tube and into your own golden sphere.  Allow it to swirl around the inside of the sphere.  Take your time, stay in your rhythm.
  8. On the following our breath, allow the light to drain down the hollow tube, back to the still-point.  At first, it may be challenging to get it to move.  Allow it to be whatever it is--don't force it.  
  9. Gently repeat steps 6 through 8, for 7 times.  Try not to use any forcefulness, simply suggest the energy movement and allow it to evolve on its own.  Gradually it will open a new circulation in an area of the body that often becomes stagnant without this Earth connection.


Part 2
  1. Complete part 1.
  2. Take a few breaths and allow the golden light to continue circulating on its own.
  3. On an in breath, draw the golden light up from the still-point.  Allow it to grow very bright inside the sphere.
  4. On the next out breath, send the light out the front of the sphere and around in a circular tube, to concentrate just outside the front of the heart.
  5. On the next in breath, open the heart and draw the golden light into the heart.
  6. On the next out breath, send the golden light out the back of the heart, into a circular tube that passes through the pituitary and pineal glands inside the brain, and comes around to concentrate at the front of the heart.
  7. On the next in breath, open the heart and draw the golden light into the heart.
  8. On the next out breath, send the golden light out into the circular tube that passes through the uterus or prostate glands, and circles up to concentrate at the front of the heart.  
  9. Repeat steps 5 through 8, for 7 times.
  10. On the final cycle, when the golden light passes through the abdominal sphere, allow it to drain back down the tube again to the still-point. 
Many Blessings,

Kathryn

Spring Oils Order Notes


The order is completely packed and ready to go out tomorrow morning.  While pouring the oils last week, I made a few notes about some of them which I would like to share.

First is the St. Johnswort;  with its soft and very balanced aroma, this is an oil that holds many secrets!  It is becoming known as an essential oil for relieving the pain of fibromyalgia.  It can be diluted with coconut or jojoba, and applied to painful places.  It is anti-inflammative, and stops muscle aches.  It can be applied in a hot compress to the spine for relieving pain all over the body; and I have seen people take it internally for the same purpose, in a semi-homeopathic dose.

Athletes are beginning to find it too--it can be taken orally before a stressful event, and will actually prevent or reduce muscle soreness form over use in the next day or two.  This batch is fresh and light, and very beautiful--I know you will enjoy it.

Petitgrain sur fleurs (petitgrain with flowers), will provide a great opportunity--provided you open it and take in the aroma soon.  It is still very fresh from distillation, and has had very little time to "set", so you will smell the green and raw notes from the still.  As you continue to inhale, the heart notes will reveal a beautiful floral array that will continue to mellow out and grow over the next few weeks, as the oil settles and the still's influence fades.  This one is going to be an aromatically superior production, I feel already from past experience!  Take advantage of smelling it right away so you can experience how a "green" oil changes as it ages.

Melissa.  One of my all time favorite oils to use in the spring.  We had access to only a small amount;  thankfully we were able to fill everyone's orders, as it is completely sold out from our distiller.  This oil, also known as Lemon Balm, is one of the most powerful antiviral oils known to man.  Michael and I began to use it as a spinal compress early in the spring, in a blend I have listed below.

Because viruses tend to go dormant and hang out in the spine, AND because viruses tend to also hang out in the liver,  we felt that spring would be a great time to do anti-viral treatments.  We are on the third week of treatments, and I feel really great!  Give this recipe a try for anyone who is experiencing viral infections, influenza, herpes outbreaks, etc.  It is so effective!  It is also effective for healing warts; don't add the coconut oil for this purpose.  You must apply it every day religiously, for several weeks--but it has always worked eventually for my clients.

Spring Anti-viral Blend for Spinal Compress (GREAT for massage, too!)

  • Melissa  4 drops
  • Ravensare 20 drops
  • Spike lavender or Thuja  6 drops (whichever one you prefer) 
  • Mix them together and add 2 teaspoons (about 10 ml) of unheated, filtered coconut oil.  Apply to the spine and cover with a hot damp towel; follow with another dry towel.  Let it sit for 15 minutes, or until it begins to get cool.  The oil should be completely absorbed into the skin by the time the heat fades.

Foraha--another of my favorites--is really effective for helping to heal the perineum after birth; and for relieving hemorrhoids, scars, and surface wounds.  It has antibacterial and antiviral properties of its own, and makes a good carrier oil for oils that are even more potent in this arena.  Its emollient property also makes it a good treatment for many skin issues, rashes, etc.  I like it for my hands right after doing dishes, to keep them feeling soft and alive.  I have used it to help many people heal athlete's foot too, especially when combined with other oils such as ravensare, geranium, tea tree, spike lavender, etc.  

Enjoy your spring oils, and feel free to share your discoveries and successes here!
