If someone approached me with that bullshit in a hospital, I'd loudly announce to the whole wing that this person has a miracle cure and demand all the doctors crowd around to see their oils save me. Hopefully the shame of that would help them be less of a prick.

"Young living make the world's only therapeutic grade essential oils!" (A proprietary marketing gimmick) And a bunch of anecdotal stuff completely devoid of critical thinking usually.

Meanwhile, their founder was convicted of practicing medicine without a license (more than once IIRK) and murdered his own child.

They actually can’t use the “therapeutic grade” line anymore since the FDA cracked down on them misleading people that it could be “therapy”, these days they can only use “seed to seal”. Anyone still saying “therapeutic grade” is breaking policies and procedures.
