I don’t care how high quality the products are.
1. You’re not a doctor. Stop giving protocols to sick people.
2. They are wildly overpriced regardless of their quality.
I made this video to admit I made a mistake. I know what it would have taken to be successful but I won’t break the law or prey on desperation. Essential oils have their place in my life but I refuse to support a company that is full of ignorant sales people disguised as wellness experts.
Side note, I didn’t buy all those. 🤷♀️
Theres so much more I can say on each subject but for the sake of time I didn't. Feel free to reach out to me for a discussion.
If you have a friend or family member you want to help get out of an MLM my best advice is to stay by their side and do NOT buy anything from them. They won't stay in it forever.

My son has ADHD and one of his grade school teachers wanted to use some DT or YL essential oil on him at school to help him focus. I didn't figure it would work, but thought what the heck. After about a month she started trying to sell me some, saying that it wasn't working because I wasn't using it at home, too. She kept putting it on his feet, so his socks had to be thrown away because after a month, the smell would not come out in the wash. To this day, he hates any strong EO smell because it reminds him of being in her class.
My youngest son is diagnosed with ADHD. They can shove those oils up their righteous asses. I tried so much to not have to medicate my child but I'm not about to be in denial and feel shame about getting proper help and neither should other mothers. Stop rubbing these potent oils on your poor kiddos instead of getting them to a doctor. They don't fix ADHD. It doesn't work like that. I know from personal experience how badly parents want the best for their kids and don't want to medicate but its not worth them falling behind in school or struggling to make friends just so you can say you use natural approaches. Its pretentious and neglectful for the sake of vanity and relevance.
I have ADHD
That's sad
Entropy my bf has Adhd and these people DO NOT LIKE STRONG SMELLS. IT TRIGGERS THEM
Entropy I’m realy sorry for that, EO do can help, I know cuz I am adhd, but I think is the act of the person as it is a act of self care, maybe when he turns a adult, I hope he looses the trauma
The girl that got me involved told me that the cinnamon oil (can't remember the name) would work better for my type II diabetes better than my insulin. I told HER my Endocrinologist told me that I would have to drink gallons of it and still that oil would not help. That GIRL laughed at thr fact that my ENDOCRINOLOGIST said it wouldn't help. This GIRL is not a doctor and the fact that she laughed at my Endo stating it wouldn't help is flat out DANGEROUS!
Cicero Meridius-Decimus my word that is SCARY that people are so desperate to make money that they would risk lives to sell it.
Well, ultimately, your endocrinologist is not god. Bodies can heal by themselves. I've met people who healed certain types of diabetes through radical diet and lifestyle change, many people (really). No one I know did it through any oils though. But doctors don't heal anyone either. They can offer advice and pills to keep you alive with certain conditions so that your nervous system can heal itself, so that your cells can go in and repair damage. But more often, doctors give you a dead end treatment that yes, keeps you alive, but does not allow you to change anything that would allow your own body to self repair. So being arrogant because your friend was being stupid is not a good response. Sure, it's a little ridiculous to claim that a few drops of cinnamon oil is going to heal a major dysfunction in your body. But there is surely a LOT of positive thinking behind it, that is, with natural remedies that allow gene frequencies to flip on or off, that actually communicate with your body instead of manipulate it, you stand a chance to really heal. By shutting out your friend with arrogance, you're also shutting down other possibilities. Not to say don't listen to your intuition......insulin supplementation can be critical in the road to healing. But don't think for a minute your endocrinologist thinks your body can heal.....I mean, maybe she's a superstar integrative doctor who hasn't forgotten that the body is more genius than an arrogant doctor is. But if she's a typical doctor, she doesn't want you to heal because then she wouldn't be the god who is currently matched with your frequency of arrogance. Sure, your friend can also have more compassion with you and not inadvertently belittle a really serious health complication such as your own, one that is very distressing and causes a lot of suffering (I can REALLY relate). But you can also have more compassion with her. So many people are medically traumatized for good reason, because the current way of medicating and diagnosing people locks them into an illness paradigm and takes away all possibility of them healing themselves. This is VICIOUS, dangerous, cruel, and wrong. So maybe your friend has started to open up to the potential for self healing and wants to honestly share that with you, misguided or not.
@@TONIALCLARK Cicero is not representing the truth properly. I will say some very good doctors believe in the oils and even recommend them when appropriate. Some doctors don't advocate any natural products, only synthetic drugs that have deadly side effects. I am a doTERRA wellness advocate and a registered nurse. I would never tell someone to go against their doctor's orders and the doTERRA company does not recommend it either. But Clara is right, the body can get to a state of health that it can begin to heal itself.
@@sharonyoung7702 Hi Sharon, the problem with so many believers in doTerra is that they are clueless about how the human immune system works.
I will give an example.
A friend of ours got sick and the moment she got sick she started stuffing herself with doTerra oils and in 3 days she claims she became better.
The funny part is:
The human immune system needs time and 3 days is good enough time for the body to start making antibodies and t attack the virus so people immediately think O look the oils are helping me.
Also, many people do not know that let's say taking Tylenol or Advil does not heal anything but makes you feel better. The body needs time to heal itself. The serious illnesses need serious medical intervention and they will not just go away.(now note on the bottle -if the problem persist for more than 5 days seek medical help )
So on the basic things, the body can do a really good job and no oil and Advil will help you they will just cover up some of your discomforts while the body will do the heavy lifting.
A friend of mine who's a mother was anesthesiology her entire life knew this and trained him since a child that ones he gets sick and does not show serious illness signs she lets him stay without any medication for at least 3 days and the sickness would go away. His mother does not want to poison his liver with Tylenol or Advil or similar medicine because she knows that the body will fight and do most of the work in just 3 to 5 days.
So he educated me with this and asked me to try it and I did it and the result was the same -with or without Tylenol or Advil It just was more miserable without the pills but the period of illness was exactly the same,3 to 5 days with or without the pills.
So many people are clueless about this and think that the junk they take is actually helping them when in reality the body does not care.
His advice was: rest, drink water or herbal tea and wait for the storm to pass that is it.
If your problems become bigger after 3 to 5 days you know that you are developing a serious infection and you need serious stuff.
I do not see how doTerra can fight such serious infections.
TONIA L. CLARK it’s fucking terrifying and disgusting what some of these reps will say to try and get you to give them a few buck. They must have no heart if they are willing to try and literally kill someone to get them to buy their essential oils.
If you are sick then I recommend you use the essential oil known as petroleum. Simply follow these directions to use this essential oil: First refine the crude into gasoline, pour it into your car and then drive to the doctor's office. do you know this trick ?
I was wondering how you were going to work petroleum into healing! Thanks for the laugh.

@@stephaniesanders1287 sure everybody cannot afford health care agree , however if you think oil is the magic sugar plum fairies , there cheaper better companys , like rocky mountain oil
@@stephaniesanders1287 The US is on par with 3rd world countries with healthcare. In Australia everyone can get public healthcare, however I can't comment on programs for the homeless, but I know the Salvo's help out when there is a gap payment required in the public system.
@@stephaniesanders1287 what do you do when ill ?
Drives me crazy to hear people say, "it's all natural" as if that equals safe/healthy no matter what. Poison oak is all natural. Not gonna rub that on my skin. Not against all natural, but we need to be smart, because, yes, these ARE chemicals and can interact with each other or other medications.
Opium is all natural. It’s mainly morphine. Good shit, but it causes addiction and misery.
Hollie Carlile good one use common since😉
I love when the "wellness advocates" say you cant be allergic to their oils because they are all natural and dont contain proteins. Apparently you can only have a true allergic reaction if proteins are present. And this information comes straight from their Doctor. Dr. Hill has put it into print you cant be allergic. I guess his doctoring school never taught him about haptens. Funny, because my aromatherapy school taught me all about it.
@@daniellewinkelspecht8356 It is scientific fact, that an element should have protein, like pollen does to be allergic.
you can do research on your own, ya know.
Dr Hill is clear, in his motives but always encourages cross references.
truth is, there is no better.quality product on market than Doterra...I buy alot...i am not.interested in selling...i am busiy enough.
@@seanhamilton8502 it is a scientific fact that protein does NOT have to be present to be allergic. There is this thing called a hapten reaction where molecules bind to protein already present in your system which then causes an allergic reaction. Ask anyone with any form of medical background. You can even google it.
You can do research on your own too ya know. You dont have to take what your company feeds you as the absolute truth. Especially when its so easily and quickly proven 100% incorrect.
The other truth is, Doterra is completely mediocre and middle of the road when it comes to quality. They are overpriced for their mid range quality. And their "experts" are so far from reliable and respected in the actual world of complimentary medicine is laughable.
I’m a wellness advocate. I’m my own advocate. I don’t push anything on anyone & haven’t experienced what you did but you’re not the 1st person to say some of these things. It really depends on who is your upline. The 1st thing my organization told me was not to look at this as a business. Look at it as MY health & wellness journey. When people notice the changes in you, that will open the door to a conversation. We also tell them to GO TO YOUR DOCTOR! Consult with your doctor on any supplements & oils you’re using. I’ve been in many MLM’s. I experienced the same things you’ve experienced in most of those MLM’s. What she’s saying about meditation interactions is VERY true! I’m on a blood thinner & have to watch it when using Cassia oil. As far as quality & purity, they are tested several times by a third party prior to bottling & selling. I’m not knocking anything she’s saying & no offense taken. Thank you for sharing.
This is why I don't maintain friendship with people in MLMs. You can't just relax and not talk about the business. They never give it a break. I have friends who are successful in other businesses, and they can stfu about their companies.
SoulfulVeg : sorry to hear. So far none of my friends have given up on me. Because I value our friendship first. I am respectful.

cherrylimeblooms sugary cheers 🙏
My one and only experience with doTerra was when a teacher at my school wanted to talk to us about the benefits of essential oils. She didn't tell us she was affiliated with doTerra, she simply phrased it as the benefits of "all essential oils". Slowly and methodically the talk introduced doTerra, and pretty soon it was an all out sales pitch with sign up forms at the end. I walked out and reported the teacher to the school.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha Well done very crazy teacher.
Omg!!!! It happened to me too! A child development class.
Captive audience
Ari D good job 👌🏼
Ari D I don’t see anything wrong with that. So because she’s selling it or affiliated that just means they’re lying and trying to sell??
I have been in love with essential oils for the past 20 years. I enjoy having them in my life. Recently, I have been taking aromatherapy courses, which will help me enjoy them more. I think it's a shame that something so beautiful can be ruined with unethical business practices.
Chasmodai Morris do you have a non MLM company you would recommend? I was a DoTerra user.
Torimcangel you can go to a drug store or sleep sommeil which have the scented oils
Torimcangel I use GuruNanda. I researched them a little bit and they claim they are grown naturally no pesticides etc. so who knows?? I love that they are affordable too!! I know a lot of people say they can’t be as good as Doterra because Walmart sells them but if I can buy Frankincense for around $12 bucks (or whatever the price is) I’m going to do it!!! Just my opinion
Karen Hahn how does $12 frankincense compare to $90 Doterra Frankincense?? Just curious.
Lukus Carter no MLM
I don’t know much about essential oils. I came across your channel researching how to use the doterra oils. I bought 2 within the last few years…1 @ $85 and the second was $104. I had moved in that time and I just found them. The shop I got them in was a small space that did facials, aroma therapy inside a popular plant nursery and botanical gardens. I am feeling ripped off after watching this video and disgusted. I will no longer purchase these products. Can you tell me what MLM is? If you stated I didn’t catch it as I depend on captions. I am hearing impaired and I did rewatch several times….to many misleading companies out there and they are not being held accountable. People having thing printed “made in the USA” when it is made overseas-
“If it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn’t.”
good for you for sharing this video.
Thank you.
true
I'm on the fence. I'm a licensed massage therapist (10+yrs exp) and took the AromaTouch training. I was disgusted at what the trainer taught. How to charge if you are not a licensed mt!
Then I asked the company recently. How I can teach AT... their reply was" first you have to be a Diamond." What!!!!
I am MORE than a Diamond. I am a human whose paid thousands for my license and continuing education! And I have to be a diamond in an mlm in order to teach their body work!!
I'm on a mission to stop non licensed persons from doing body work.
Tammy Renaud Oh wow, that’s simply not true. I have a massage therapist on my team that can definitely teach it. I’d prefer it, actually.
@@michaylalobb8782 I contacted the company and asked. And excuse me its Gold rank not Diamond
"Hi Tammy,
That's great! We see on your account that you are currently at the 'Manager' level.
The rule that requires our potential trainers to have hit and held Gold rank for these past three months in a row is because once you become a trainer, you have to maintain that Gold rank every single month to be able to hold AromaTouch Technique classes. Otherwise, we might have people become AromaTouch Technique Trainers that are not consistently hitting the Gold status and therefore, are not able to train anyone. Having this Gold rank status for the most recent three consecutive months prior to application submission helps us see that you can keep this Gold rank status as soon as you become a trainer. We know that there are many people who want to take an AromaTouch Technique class and we want our Trainers tobe able to train them.
If you have questions regarding how to increase your rank, we invite you to reach out to our Member Services department.
Have a great day! "
Your right. Massage therapy is really very technical and i respect their practice and profession. As someone with limited budget and no one aroud me that actually does Raindrop therapy i welcome those that do offer classes and applications. My sister is a massage therapist so i know alll about it. Its not cheap and very hard on the body. The difference i see is raindrop is just oil application techniques where massage is manipulating muscles etc to help someone. Raindrop doesnt require any prior knowledge of the human body and is somthing you need few skills to accomplish sucessfully. Thats the big difference i see between raindrop and massage. Its not really a skill but a service. You cant do raindrop on yourself but almost anyone could sucessfully apply them for you. Like your car. You get a dent or scratch you go to the pros to fix. If it gets dirty or needs a polish well the car cant do it itself so you do it or take it to a car wash. 2 different levels 2 different degrees of skill needed to acomplish a clean shiny car.
Tammy Renaud Interesting! I wonder why that would be. Maybe to certify someone else in that specific technique? I guess that’s something I need to check on myself. I do know massage therapists that perform the aroma touch technique by request. I also bring my oils with me when getting a massage. It’s so nice.... I really appreciate the education and work massage therapists do!
@@lisat9707 massage therapy does not only apply to muscles. It is the whole body system as a whole. Skin, lymph, etc....
These are the reasons why I left Young Living after selling for 1 yr. I was told to take my daughter off her ADHD medication by my upline and treat her exclusively with essential oils...that turned me off. I'm not a doctor and she isn't a doctor and I'm sticking with the opinions of our family doctor. The whole essential oil MLM business is a huge scam and they make so many false claims. I'm now studying to get my education on essential oils from a certified college and I'm going to become a certified aromatherapist . My upline told me not to study this and that I needed to get my info from YL. Thanks for continuing to expose these people.
Kelly Stewart Wow!! That’s bordering on cult tactics! Since watching this video, I’m put off by MLM companies and have gone to Edens Garden (NON MLM) essential oils. I must point out I researched and tried different brands. I urge anyone involved in mlm’s to go out and research non MLM companies to find the best for you. Watch carefully for companies that have no proof of purity! You want to make sure you can verify process and purity 😊
That rep should not be telling you to go against your Dr recommendations, as she is not a doctor.
However - she should provide information showing you what those medications can do to your child, etc. which your Dr should have done.
She could also recommend oils that have proven successful for many children, the research showing that oils can be effective, tell you where oils are being used in clinical settings, and the number of medical people now using them.
I know from experience how applying an oil can dramatically slow and stop a rage in an autistic child prone to rages, and how a child who was “drugged” from their medication that they were like a zombie. When they started using oils, the child was able to react normally in a school situation as far as focus, had no more “test stress”, and was generally more calm.
But every parent has to make decisions, hopefully, well researched.
oh wow.....no one should be telling u something like that...i have cancer and i use oils and some seem to work for me for some things.....i also have a naturopath that would tell me to even talk to my docx first before going off of any of my meds...ive been able to go off of very few and am taking less of others due to some oils but they cant and wont replace some for certain things i would like them to! im sincerely glad that your daughter is ok....its awful how some people try to take advantage of someone going through something like that and as a parent we dont always know better and will try almost anything when it comes to our children!! i would LOVE to become something like a certified aromatherapist as i physically cant even work otherwise but i cant afford it!!! but i do whatever research that i can before i use anything first!!
No one should make those claims, but that isn't the fault necessarily of the companies. It is bad people within it.
Not the same as doTERRA. Contact me. There is a different! As a doTERRA advocate I do my research all over the net. That's crazy what your upline said to you. I'm sorry they gave you a bad experience.
My beloved aunt, only 57 yrs old, died three years ago of an aneurysm. She avoided going to her doctor if she could, and didn’t believe in the medicines that they prescribe. She did what she could to eat well and take care of herself.
She was a doterra sales rep, for about a year before her sudden death. She tried to cure ailments with using only oils for this that, literally everything. She was excited about the oils and believed what she was told about them.
She quit taking her high blood pressure medications and whatever else. Wanting to do things naturally and healthy, she believed that it was the best thing to do, and not take prescription medications.
Her high blood pressure continued and she had migraines. She died the day before Valentine’s Day. She was beautiful, healthy, outgoing, happy and always had a smile.
I’m not blaming doterra. I just don’t think that it’s s cure-all for everything.
There isn't a cure all for everything, you are right. It's sad what happened. I wish she would have worked with her doctor along with using the oils to see if they were working for her. We still need to visit our doctors.
@@gabsfer You can take them internally, as long as they are actually 100% pure. I use doTERRA and I take them internally everyday. You can't just buy ones off of the shelf at Walmart and take them internally because they have synthetics mixed in. Visit doTERRA website for more info on where they are sourced, etc.
The world of essential oils is not new. The popularity or trend is spiked so of course it’s a money maker and there will be many companies jumping on that band wagon. Do the research to make sure you’re buying real, pure essential oils withOUT synthetic, additives, chemicals, or other contaminants. As far making money in a direct sales company, well many are pyramids 😉 I’ve had wonderful experience with essential oils that are not contaminated with synthetic ingredients that are cheaper than real ingredients, additives, chemicals etc..... and when using them to support my health I consult my doctor. People make their own choices as to how they take care of themselves. Many do not trust the medical profession while other do not believe in holistic or ancient ways. Research for yourself before blind belief is all I’m saying.
@@gabsfer I have nothing to do with any company so I'm not saying this to get you to purchase anything but there are several essential oils that can be ingested (taken internally) safely when working with your health care provider. Peppermint, Clove, Citrus (Orange, Lemon, Etc), Spearmint, Cinnamon, etc. But many of those oils, if you have certain health issues, can become unhealthy. It's all about knowing what health conditions and medications that you're taking which can interact with the essential oils. Also, you have to understand the "dosing" and dilution properties because too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing.
taking any essential oil internally is a big no no and can do a lot of harm - it doesnt matter grade of oil - your digestive system ( liver and kidneys ) are not able to filter this stuff out long term and can lead to toxicity and illness. Oild can enter blood stream via aromatherapy or on skin vs carrier oil. people dont realize how potent oils are!

In my opinion, I think it can help with minor things like headaches and stuff, but you shouldn’t let it replace modern medication
Much of modern medicine actually originated from studying the compounds found in plants. Aspirin originated from willow bark. We are simply going back to the source and choosing to use the healthier version instead of the synthetic versions society has been programmed to use instead.
@@cristinatc1463 We are being programmed to use oils. Merely a corporate marketing gold rush. Absolutely no regulation nor evidence of it working.

@@uhsund - You should check out this video. Modern medicine is not exempt from doing the same, however, the difference is that modern medicine has the backing and authority granted by the government and many doctors are now starting to speak out.
ua-cam.com/video/RKmxL8VYy0M/v-deo.html
Anyone advocating for any medicine, whether it'd be herbal or pharmaceutical, can be considered "programmed". I personally like to do my own research and find it a "tad bit" more convincing to go for the original, natural medicine that has been used for thousands of years over a modern, synthetic version of which we (as consumers) don't really know what the heck they are composed of.
I believe there is definitely corporate marketing involved within these natural medicine companies. However, I think it's very important to understand the immense corruption involved in the pharmaceutical industry of which the government has its hands deep inside, possibly because they receive a cut from the profits of these drug companies. What do the companies get in return? Government grants them the ultimate medical authority and undermines any other type of medicine, claiming there are insufficient or unsatisfactory results in their "limited studies". I've done some research in this area and .. and I know, anecdotal evidence isn't very appealing, however, I constantly find large amounts of positive testimonials that strangely do not seem to line up with these "insufficient evidence" statements originating from government institutions i.e. the FDA.
Having said this, natural medicine companies are left to the competitive mechanisms of capitalisms. Even if a private natural medicine company were to falsify information to promote their products, the consumers (especially nowadays with technology) WILL find out and the word WILL spread, thus, negatively affecting said company. Other natural medicine companies will find this perfect opportunity to compete and produce products of higher standards, higher quality and will come in to fill in the sales from the previous company's customers. This is known as capitalism's "invisible hand" , which in turn is beneficial to economic growth, very unlike the path the pharmaceutical drug industry has chosen where it eliminates this process by artificially placing itself on top of all other competition and consumers do not have a say.
Silly goose! Most medications stem from plants!
My mom had a friend who liked doTerra(not sure if she sold it or was just a customer). I overheard her telling my mom how much she loved them. So naturally, me being someone who’s into essential oils, I did a quick search on the brand, and I said to my moms friend “I use a brand that’s really good and organic”, and she automatically stopped me with “oh but these are the best ones you can get”. And I just remember thinking, how are they better than organic oils?? But I let it go because I could tell she was in some sort of denial/delusion.
yep
So you asked yourself how they could get better than organic and then did no research?
Your story really stood out. I do not like MLM either but if its a good support / assistant products for daily health I think the products should speak for itslef, even the price point is high is like just buying a luxery handbag vs cheap on, both do the same function but millions still want or try to buy a branded one. Everyon should research and really know it for themselve whatever 'it' may be a products, services or anything. I think also the upline that you have is not really supportive. I always say this products does not replace your medication nor it is mean you should not see a doctor. But it can assist for any immediate need for example, stomach pain or high fever as in the case when my kids did have one and I do not have any medication on hand at 3am, we live in Asia country there's no 24/7 store for anything, so having Pepper mint and Lavender to lower my kids fever within couple hours really help everyone for that good night sleep. Thank you for sharing your story, I wish all the best to you.
Finally a clever comment. I do not MLM too, but the properties and the uses of the essential oils are another topic, and the Doterra are good in quality and effective also.The problem is the passive mindset that make people use them without study them but I think there’s the same problem and the same mindset in people who use aspirine in a passive way.
Because the dealers ARE the only customers.
Exactly!!
Not true. I have about 30 regular, monthly-paying customers - only 1 does the business. I don't push the business, I really just use the supplements and oils as needed, and if I get a bonus check then yay. But if not, it doesn't matter.
Karen K 😂
Not true, I have more customers than advocates on my downline.
Karen K if you don’t mind sharing, what profit do you make monthly with your doTerra?
Kay, your wonderful video clarified for me why I let a friendship go: my MLM friend was always in "selling mode". I never knew if she was thinking of my well-being or her bottom-line. I think it must do some real damage to the soul to feel forced to push product to the point of prioritizing one's commission or place in the company over integrity or other human values. You've done a real public service!
Yes! The lack of safety education (or even promoting people eating them) has turned me off to this company completely. I've worked with oils for years and would never tell anyone to just drop them in your food and consume, no precautions.
That's why I quit. After I got burned by cinnamon (dT recommended 1 drop cinnamon to 3 drops carrier! OMG) I started doing research and finding others who were injured by improper use of essential oils. dT took no responsibility and blamed the users.
Well, not all of them are edible. It's just the ones that say they are. Like: Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, and Orange. It helps me drink more water.
When the top 1% earn $28,000 per year
Getting in the top 1% of doTERRA is no easy feat. Achieving "Silver" rank, for instance, requires recruiting at least three other people who personally sell -- or recruit people who sell -- at least $3,000 in product per month.
So if you recruit three people who each sell $500 of product per month, and each of your recruits recruit more people who sell $2,500 of product combined per month, you'll make it to Silver, putting you into the top 1% of the organization. At a minimum, this requires at least $9,000 in "organizational" volume from the people you recruit, though few will reach this rank with exactly $9,000 in monthly volume.
Upon reaching Silver, you'll be in the top 1% of doTERRA advocates. At this level, the average earnings among advocates is $27,557. Nowhere else does being in the top 1% yield so little. The top 1% of American individual earners hauled in about $308,000 in 2016, yet the top 1% of doTERRA reps earn barely more than a recently hired, full-time Target-store worker.
When they mention diamond level you know it’s a scam.
After telling a Doterra “Wellness Advocate” that my husband dislikes essential oils being diffused in our house, she went on to tell me that this proves that he really needs the oils/s. Makes no sense.
FYI, Wellness Advocates are not doTERRA employees.
@@ushbag and the point is ?
I was involved in a different MLM years ago, different products but same story. I was led to believe that I would make big bucks for throwing parties and selling to anyone and everyone that I saw in front of me basically. If you weren’t signing people up constantly you weren’t trying hard enough and should promote it more and talk about how much the company has Changed your life and crap like that. I couldn’t brag like that, especially if it wasn’t even true! I signed up one person in the months I was a distributor… my mom lol. I paid them hundreds of dollars to get started and used the products myself of course and I hardly made a dime! I definitely didn’t make any of my money back. When I told my upline I was bailing out, I was spending more than I was making and she basically told me It takes money to make money and I was like ummm I know, I have another side business I run and I make more at that so I was going to continue to focus on what works for ME! After that I’ve never been interested in joining ANY MLM. I have friends that do it and I say to each their own. I have no qualms with them.
All that being said I’ve been studying herbalism all year and I’ve learned SO much about plants and health, the anatomy. Let me tell you safety is a big deal with herbalists! Most herbalists rarely use essential oils, if at all. For several reasons. One being safety, most oils are not safe to consume internally! And if someone does it should only be under the close guidance of a certified aromatherapist. Also there’s sustainability concerns. In herbalism you don’t need massive amounts of plant material to benefit from plants! And it’s SO much safer and cheaper to use as well! To me it’s a no brainer. Why waste hundreds of pounds of plants for their oils when you don’t have to. Also herbalism has been around since the beginning of time basically while super concentrated essential oils and the modern use of them are fairly new really. So the long term data just isn’t there yet. Essential oils have their place but if you aren’t an expert, they should only be used topically or in a diffuser (even then use caution). They shouldn’t be used casually like they are. Many people develop liver problems from consuming essential oils. For this reason I have issues with these companies teaching their people to make the claims they do! It’s dangerous! And you’re right it IS illegal to make the claims they do. And to tell people that it’s completely safe and effective for everyone when it’s just NOT! Everyone has different Needs! And People still need doctors too. There’s a lot wrong with these companies.
Anyway if you made it to the end of my novel, thanks for listening to my Ted talk 😂
thanks for sharing , sure your story will help people 😍
Thanks for this info!!! An awesome UA-cam herbalist ("She Is of the Woods" is the channel) has mentioned not liking essential oils but I dont know where she explains why. So I've been really wondering!! Your comments helps!
I just bought a kit and i'm hating the harassment of the seller trying to sell me more products and get inroll with montly orders.
This is such a relief to watch! Finally someone voicing what I had been feeling for so long. I have been resistant to express how "not easy" it is to do this business for fear of being called a quitter, failure or "not determined or a real boss babe". There is SO much shaming around not doing the business that it was just not resonating with me at all. THANK YOU so much for courageously pointing out the very things many of us are scared of expressing. Doterra has some great products, but I have been doing a TON of research and there are many non MLM companies that sell very HIGH quality oils at 30-50% less. And it is NOT true that only DoTerra or only Young Living have the best quality oils and that is why they are expensive. The expenses are in having to pay a pyramid structure of compensation. Why not buy quality oils directly from a company? Thanks again, this was truly great to watch :)
Curious what oils you have found that are the same high quality (independent testing; sourcing from their native areas; okay for internal use)without the MLM? I like the doTERRA products but am put off by the sales part of it
I am really enjoying Plant Therapy and Simply Earth. Both high quality, and Simply Earth has a $39 monthly box subscription with everything you need for DIY oil creation. They have a great vision and purpose beyond the oils as well, Check them both out! ;)
Piera B those companies look interesting- neither offer anything with regards to internal consumption? Both state they are good for aromatic and topical use but not internally?
Good question. I am currently taking my Aromatherapy Clinical Certification and have learned that oils regardless which kind, should not be consumed on a daily basis, and only under supervision of a certified practitioner or health professional. They are not meant to be taken internally every day. These are SUPER potent plant chemicals that can damage lining of the stomach, esophagus and internal mucous membranes. So from my understanding they should be taken VERY infrequently and only under supervision of a professional. It's just not healthy to be drinking lemon oil every day in water. Would you eat 100 lemon skins? It just isn't the purpose of the oils.
Piera B I disagree that the MLM business model is necessarily more expensive in mark ups than retail companies that can have huge overheads paying rent in town centres.
A friend of mine works as a holistic operator and she is also a doTERRA advocate. She talked me about these oils and suggested me to buy them but I never bought anything because I don't trust MLM companies. She told me that they are completely safe and can also be eaten but I don't trust her. I know that some people had skin rashes after eating these oils for a long time.
And they are also very expensive!
Use those oils that you have left and make lotions, creams, oil combos for gifts. or diffuse them...
They could also make good smelling soap! Those essential oils would be better than fragrance oils.
mix w/tequila
@@sheilaterpstra9888 Wrong. Oils are much stronger and have more side effects than fragrances!
@@jillgross543 , there is a way to use essential oils in soap in safer quantities than most commercial soapmakers would suggest, and most essential oils don't contain the same preservatives as fragrance oils, nor the synthetic chemicals to create the scents in the first place. Yes, people can have a reaction to essential oils. Odds are, those same people would have a reaction to some fragrance oils too. The trick is to figure out what works for you, and in what quantity. If you make your own soap, that is very easy to do. All soap really is made of is oils (fatty acid), lye (base), and water. The reaction of lye and oil mixing creates a salt that we call soap. No scent is necessary at all, but it sure feels good to smell something nice on our skin, or add something that will help keep moisture in, or help promote healing. Those properties are not well known from fragrance oils. Long reply. Sorry.
@@jillgross543 I agree they are probably stronger, but I would think synthetics, which are man made and have unbalanced constituents in them would give more side effects. I know people who cannot tolerate perfumes, but are fine with quality essential oils. That being said, someone could be sensitive to the oils, just as they could be sensitive to gluten or other fragrances; it's an individual thing.
Anyone that deals with these pyramids and doesn’t realize it has some screws loose
I have friends in doterra. You are right, they cant stop talking about the essential oils. Dont get me wrong, I love essential oils and I do find that some of the products, even the doterra ones are great. BUT!
The system is a cult. I feel like every time this one friend who is heavily into doterra, is trying to bully me into getting into doterra. I have fibromyalgia, and have no thyroid, and I swear she seems to think I can just quit my medication and do oils every day. For a start, i cant afford to do that!
It infuriates me.. and I welcome her to the NFC which is where a lot of them end up
NFC for those that arent sure isnt MLM. lol
you are right
You should tell her how she makes you feel. Tell her you feel bullied and pressured and it makes you want nothing to do with her or the oils. People like that need to know they are doing much more harm than good - and they are supposed to be helping people.
I dont know who is your friend, but she is very irresponsable, I am a doterra wellness advocate and I never said to my clients, that they have to stop using medicine, I always say go to the doctor first, and always do what they say, and the essential oils can be support, in the emotional part or the sickness. BUT I NEVER USE THE WORD CURE... Those are not good Wellness advocates. Essential oils can help with some things, and there will be no damage if you use them in the correct dose.
I quit after getting hate texts from my up-line on New Years Eve that I didn't spend $150 in December and mucked up her bonus. It wasn't my job to go into further debt for her that month. 2.5 years of being a beneficial team member. Then I was done.
Well the problem is the people and your upline!!
@@loliboarder I still purchase when I need to, I just now go through ppl who appreciate my orders, not those who expect them.
@@loliboarder problem is the sales plan of doterra that everybody has to buy a set amount over 100 bucks a month,
That is awful!! My up line has never done anything like that to me. I would have walked too! I am sighted up as an advocate, but basically I’m just a wholesale customer. I do love the products! Best of luck in your EO journey!
I just enrolled with this company ( Christmas time) and so far, I have spent over $500 in oils and other products. Now, I feel cheated. And what they did to you is simply, unacceptable. I definitely won't become "A sales advocate". On another note. I think the Doterra oils are very good and pure. What is your take?
Too much craziness, and cognitive dissonance with the entire business plan. It is very annoying, and built that way to have you in constant squirrel mode. Then you can take all your profits, you can go spend it at the over hyped convention, that has you in sleep deprivation.
I’m so glad you made this video and left the cult. You are smart!
Just got a friend who ask me to buy these oil, and also to join, I quickly came here to get the reviews, as I have seen so much yt videos on advice not to join these cults.
They set up the pay structure to be confusing on PURPOSE.
In 2016 I was invited to a DoTerra Convention out in Utah. I was completely turned off my the whole set up. You had 20,000 people from all over the world gathering a stadium being pumped with diffused oils from behind our seats.
They proceeded to display where they source these high-quality oils from on these large mega-screens. There was a family located somewhere in a 'third-world' country that was able to finally send their little girl to school due to their hard work hand picking and harvesting this particular herb...while the Blue-Diamonds stood on stage crying about how they were able to buy their second mansion and 5th sports car. ...
In conclusion....grow your own sh*t in your own garden, support your local herbalists and farmers...connect with the land that you walk on....
And what we were supposed to do with all of the empty bottles???
Anywho, I learned my lesson and moved on .
well done for spotting the mlm scam it is, like young living too
And it is crazy, when people have found something that is working for them, they want to convince other people, be it a diet, oils, meditation, yoga, gym, therapy, singing, writhing, etc.... What works for me is not necessarily good for another person...
Dottera is despicable. There are too many cases where their representatives (not qualified in medicine) have tried to overpower the advice of a doctor or insinuate that a medical professional is wrong. Disgraceful.
And why would you believe a Dr as well? Who knows, they could be telling you bogus too and you just believe them. Stop being a biased little bitch
Labs 1993 you are biased though my mother knows whatever a doctor says she would only follow advice she knew was not gibberish. But with essential oils they can say anything and Gullible people would believe. Also you would know if it works after a week don’t be uneducated
No More "MLMs" for me. I Spent thousands of dollars to purchase products with VARIOUS MLMs. I Did Not Grow. Others Around Me have NOT GROWN. I earned more on my minimum Wage Job. With my earnings, I purchased ALOT of unnecessary products. AMWAY, doTerra, HHG, JewelWay, Water Filters, AVON and on and on.
Your experience is the norm for MLM. Making money is the exception; in fact making minimum wage money is so rare it's usually 1 out of 100 or even less. You can see it illustrated at imgur.com/a/A0QcimZ
Im sad to heard youve had so many bad experiences. Ive been in mlms since i was 22. Over 10 years now. There are a couple of things i look for in an mlm.
1. A product i believe in and love and i know others will love it too.
2.A company that has lots of integrity and is motivated by the same things i am aka helping others.
3. A team and upline who really care to help others suceed in a balanced way and not shame you into doing things or sacrificing things you value highly(ie. Family dinners or important events or even money you need for christmas gifts or that you simply dont have unless its credit.)
3. A solid business success plan you are able and willing to follow that doesnt require you to bother all your family friends and aquantences to succeed. Its not easy and ive developed my own way to suceed i just need to develop the next skill set of mainisining supporting and growing a downline so they can suceed too! Its not Easy but its very rewarding!
What is really nice about doTERRA is 90% of customers/wholesale customers/wellness advocates strictly just buy the oils. We use them and their supplements on a daily basis. They’ve made HUGE impacts on my family. I don’t spend outside of my budget and have improved my quality of life. I used to need an inhaler, couldn’t find allergy relief, had a hard time sleeping, struggled with stomach pain- all of this has been solved by using doTERRA oils. Though it may seem like small improvements, I do know many with huge improvements I’ve seen and to get a message thanking me for introducing them to essential oils bc it’s changed their life, is honestly what keeps me sharing ❤️
@@lisat9707 I've studied numerous MLM opportunities and they all fall short. The only way to make significant income in any major MLM is to have dozens of people in your downline. This means your downline will be competing with each other for sales and their own downline.
If you have 100 people under you, which should be enough to equal a part time salary in doTerra, and the bottom of your downline can get 100 under them, that's 10,000 sellers in a market. Unless you're in a huge, virgin market, there just isn't room for this many people to be successful.
The structure of MLM depends on continued, unlimited growth if most reps are going to be successful. Obviously this is impossible which is why all MLMs including doTerra have only a few % of reps making even a small meaningful amount of money. Even the best training and compensation plan can't magically create the infinite business growth required for new members to succeed as the seller population grows.
@@dderby5171 No the only way to earn money in MLM is to DO THE WORK. I bet if you actually invested 40 hours a week into it you would make money. I teach, educate, serve, educate teach, follow up. WORK. Most women start an MLM (Or 10) and then expect the cheques to roll in. Read Go Pro by Eric Worre, take it seriously and reap the rewards. Focus on 1 company not ten. $60,000 a year here and growing only 18 months in.
It bugged me how DoTerra and Young Living people never mentiomed risks to animals
they just interest in making money
Oils do have very beneficial properties. However, even in the natural world there are ones you should not take if you have certain health problems or are pregnant or breastfeeding. You are right that there are people who say that oils can't hurt you and several who buy into this idea that if you have a reaction to the oil that it's just your body detoxing! That is very inaccurate information! The thing is, is there is a lot of information and research on oils out there and done by legitimate labs and companies. However, people do not do their research they just take whatever someone says to them as the complete truth. I love my oils. They have helped me tremendously and have alleviated some issues I was having. However, I researched each oil I used before I used it. I also know that some health issues people have they need medicine for. There are ways for individuals to come off of medications but it is mostly due to a change in their diet, adding exercise etc... that this happens and it does not happen overnight. It took years to create the health problem it will take months to years of dedication to changing habits to start to slowly come off of medications. Do I think pharmaceuticals are over used? Yes! But do I think you take an oil for a day and it cures you? No! Aromatherapy, massage, alternative therapy, physical therapy, diet, exercise, quitting bad habits, etc... are what help overcome disease and help you get off of medicines and sometimes if it is a genetic abnormality you may never come off medicine. People have gone oil crazy. While I do believe in the many benefits, I do my research first!
Thank you for your comment! I do believe essential oils provide benefits too but not to become crazy about! I’m on my way to receive my first dōTerra kit and At this point I wander if internal use is good to do? Can you clarify this for me please? Is under tongue or few drops into glass of water usage good to do or better avoid?
@@chiarabove6961 hope you sent the kit back ?
Make stuff with the oils, if you have any left. You can make all sorts of things - soap, body butter, candles, shampoo - with a few drops of essential oils added. Honestly, I have never used them for anything medical myself. I use them for spell work in candles though.
Thank you for posting this. I am with both doterra and young living. I just buy the stuff because it is fun, however, I had to put a stop to it because I was spending so much money and that is not necessary. Feeling like cancelling both accounts and just using a couple other companies that are pure but not MLMs. and isn't it interesting how many people stop interacting with you once you stop...
Literally all of them. 😕
I am a member of both too, I just buy what I want, I don't have a team, don't want a team, but I love the oils. I also buy from several companies online, Bulk Apothecary, Rocky Mountain Oils and Pompeii Organics. I am not a fan of MLM, but it works for some, some not so much. to each their own.

As a Clinical Aromatherapy student, I commend you for coming forward with this. MLMs May very well end up being the downfall to the aromatherapy industry because of these very reasons you’ve listed.
Thank you for denouncing the lack of safety éducation around essential oils, some of them are neurotoxique, toxique to the liver etc. I recently received the Aromatouch protocol and I was very surprised and worried that the oils were used undiluted . This could be very dangerous for people. Chemists and aromatherapits always recommend to use a few drops (and there are ratios to respect for safety) of each essence. Furthermore using 4 essential oils plus 4 synergies is way too much for any protocol. No-one needs this much, it just serves the company to sell more kits... it requires some knowledge to sell and use Essential oils.
Also Pyramid selling models only ever helps the top of the pyramid to earn and propagate the products at least cost. It is always detrimental to the people below. Plus the local market gets easily saturated due to the increasing amount of recrutes selling the same products to the same people, in the same area.
Essential oils can help very well a lot of situations but advice should be taken from chemists or aromatherapist. And their use can only ever be complementary to medical advice.
My suggestion for you is to get a dictionary of Essential oils which details their chemical components, properties and counter-indications to learn out to use them safely for yourself. Now you have a lifetime supply!!! Or, follow an aromatherapist qualification ( take time to research the qualifying school : background, affiliation with universities, etc) and then you can set up your own business, create your own clientele and advise people properly.
My friend just WhatsApp me out of the blue she’s been in 2 other MLM and now this. Asking me to invest. Jesus Christ it’s like a cult

I seen this video as I am opening up my Holiday 2018 box! I have been buying doTERRA for 5 years now and have a mass collection and I can honestly say you have inspired me to "GET OUT" I dont sell or have anyone under me I only buy for my use and for my family and friends but the money I have spent is insane and it makes my husband furious because its ridiculous to him. I have been wanting to stop and turn my account off for a while now and so inspired to do so. Thank you for real!!

I am sorry that this happened to you. You shouldn't have pressure to buy every month. IF you don't use it or have the money, you shouldn't. You can just be a customer.
@@kasiuswilliams1449 you should just buy the oils you need from none mlm company ?
Wow my jaw dropped when I saw all of your essential oils. So glad you put this video out. People need to hear the truth about these companies. 5 years ago when I started the EO journey I was so excited. I went to 2 different EO reps different companies. YL and doterra. They were NOT educated enough to make me comfortable to use essential oils. NOT AT ALL. So I started my own research. People need to do their own homework and not go by what someone says as facts! I would NEVER ingest EO unless under the care of a qualified aromatherapist. (Never have and never will) I've had great benefits without ingesting! I have to say I've been pretty healthy using my oils together with clean eating. People don't get caught up that essential oils is all you need...Nope don't fall into the trap! Lizzy, Thank you for this video. ❤You are helping so many. And for the ones coming after you, it's because the truth hurts. You rock!!! :)
Maritza Rodriguez I agree with not endearing EO but even In a defuser they enter your blood stream in minutes even seconds.
@@keoladacalio exactly, a little goes a long way. You don't have to diffuse for hours to have the benefits of EO. Safety is the key!
100% agree. I am a certified clinical aromatherapist and the crazy, dangerous information that doTERRA puts out drives me nuts. "You should ingest our oils!" "Put our oils directly on your pets!" "Put our oils in your pets drinking water!" "Put our oils on your baby!" "Have your children drink our oils!" I have even heard worse than this, like using the pure oils as eye drops or ear drops. Anything to sell more bottles. It is so unethical and irresponsible. MLMs really give EOs a bad rap. People don't realize how careful you must be with essential oils, as they are extremely potent and a little goes a long way.
Maritza Rodriguez do you have a go to brand?
Kellie B Yes. There should be proper guidelines but warnings like this don’t sell the oils.
My "friend" put doterra oils in her tampons. She told me it was burning, so it must be healing her!
I bet she put Tea tree oil on a tampon. She probably wont stop doing it but if its burning she might consider its desensitizing the area and also that tea tree oil can damage skin cells if its applied directly. If shes doing it for absorbing oils tell her the anus is better for that 😂
Thank you so much for posting this. Takes a lot of courage and you spoke your truth. I was introduced to Doterra by someone I met in my building 5 years ago and I admit, I was not impressed with it at first but now I do love the oils. I justified paying a premium because I thought I was supporting women who are in business for themselves....so I thought. I was thinking about being an advocate myself and thought to research it further and I stumbled upon your video. Wishing you all the best and again, thank you for sharing.
There are reputable companies that one can purchase essential oils without going through an MLM and paying eye gouging prices. I have been using essential oils for 20+ years. It also scares me how people selling Doterra seem to think that they are an expert on oils. I have heard some crazy stuff from Doterra and Young Living reps.
I agree. I’ve heard reps say you can put neat oils directly on your skin, etc. it’s scary. Reputable companies don’t need people to sell their products. They sell themselves
I started using doTerra last November but I don't take them internally. I have rheumatoid arthritis which was diagnosed when I was a juvenile ( 14 ) I also was diagnosed with hypertension when I was 20 and 3 years ago I was diagnosed with malignant hypertension ( severely high blood pressure, 170/100 or higher ) and I take 4 different prescription meds for it. I CANNOT take ANY NSAIDS at all, period! I have had people in the group I'm in tell me I could be completely off all my hypertension meds by using oils and have been told that everyone with an autoimmune disorder should be following "X" protocol. I DON'T like the pushy part of all of this and I never intended to sell from the start. We're supposed to put in a LRP order of at least $125.00 a month by the 15th of each month to get the free product of the month and the 10% off product. Then you earn points to use to purchase free oils. I personally DON'T have that much to spend monthly so my representative tends not to interact nearly as much with those that she signed up that don't place large orders......because they're NOT making $$ off of us. I have voiced that concern to my rep numerous times and she'll continue to deny that fact. The other option if you still want to use the oils but not get all caught up in the selling is to just pay $35/year for a wholesale membership. You still get the oils at wholesale price but avoid all the other bs that goes on. I very much dislike MLM's ( anyone remember Amway ? Look how that turned out ). I do use my oils topically and diffuse them. I'm mainly interested in the "emotional or feels" oils and have taken the Aromatouch certification class. I will NEVER push them on others and I just share what has helped me but everyone is different. I think doTerra pushes WAY too hard on oils should be part of everyone's life and there's absolutely no need for pharmaceuticals. I recently had a very bad case of tonsillitis in September and I got an antibiotic ( I was a nurse for 22 years ) and I couldn't believe how many people told me I didn't need an antibiotic at all and should use this blend or that blend......ummmm, NO! I have a complicated medical history and it includes a heart arrhythmia and I'm not about to take chances with bacterial infections. I don't know if anyone is aware of the fact that someone with Young Living left them and that's how doTerra started.
lynn Hi , would please tell me the name of those companies you talk about? Thanks!
@@mimi1o8 absolutely! The company I have been purchasing from exclusively for years is Ananda Apothecary. They tell you everything you could possibly need to know about every oil on there website. They are out of Boulder, Colorado. I have also purchased from Rose Mountain oils. Ananda is my favorite. They wrap your shipped products beautifully in recycled paper. Give them a try and let me know what you think.
I had someone,who just purchased from dottera, diffuse at my son’s therapy clinic. I told her I wanted to see the essential oil and she gave it to me. I read it and I said to her, a lot of oils are very dangerous to use around children, especially children, like mine, who are susceptible to seizures. She told me, “nope, I was told they are safe”. So I started talking to everyone in the waiting room about essential oils so they knew the positives and negatives of essential oils. I tell people all the time, there are books, read them for safety.
If you still got the oils I would be happy to buy them from you. Like I said before, I believe in the oils, not the system that is it in.

I know someone who sells these and it really angered med when she started saying that The could help with depression and trauma. That’s fucking not okay to tell people!
I just got into DoTerra but I dont plan on selling them. I'm just getting what I want/need..
I understand that the MLM side of it sucks, but regardless of where the oils came from I would still encourage people to use these, not as a replacement but as a natural supplement. They’re still better than toxic drugs that only treat symptoms. Just because the buisness side of it is shady doesn’t mean the products are bad. Of course they contain “chemicals”, everything has a chemical structure and composition in nature but that doesn’t mean it’s toxic.

So glad you got out. The amount of manipulation that goes on in MLM's breaks my heart. It always ends up being a pyramid, even if they turn it sideways. As far as essential oils go, I have been told by DoTerra reps to use oils, to which I am actually allergic. Just because they are "natural" doesn't mean their use is safe for everyone, all the time. That is my main problem with them, above the MLM situation. Thank you for addressing "false claims." Maybe some reps will listen to you and be more thoughtful about what they are selling.

Hey lovies! Thanks for watching. This is my personal experience with the company. It does reflect the experience of many others that are afraid to speak up. I simply cannot support unethical business behavior. If I decide to give away my EOs I have a friend in mind already. I hope this video helps anyone who is feeling the same way or someone who just wants to know what red flags to look out for. Have a wonderful day guys!! Thanks for your support.
Oil of the Valley hi. I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve invested a lot in oils in general & recently with doTerra. I’m tryin to stay alive for my daughter right now & bc I’m a disabled Army veteran and single mom I’m not getting any help from the VA (veteran affairs). I decided to put my health in my own hands cuz I wasn’t ok with just sitting here dying. I hope u r doin better hun.
doTERRA cannot be held responsible for ignorance of its users. There are so many good quality aromatherapy books, anyone can study them. doTERRA itself provides plenty of info, also about safety. If you buy essences in a drug store, how many safety infos do you get? It is up to everyone who wants to work seriously with oils to find the information. If you joined doTERRA just for the vision of easy income, than I believe you are dissappointed. This is a hard earned money. It must be done by people who share the same vision, the moneymakers usually quit soon.
Lenka Markova I didn’t get into it for the money/income. After 4 years I still don’t have a downline, and I’ve seen so many awful things WA’s have done to make a quick buck. It’s disgusting & I’m sick of it. I don’t think DT cares about their advocates as much as they claim. As long as they don’t lose their money cow, nothing will ever change. Sadly, I do love the oils but once my stash is gone, it’s gone permanently. December I’ll be cashing in my points and waving goodbye to the company. If I decide to continue using the oils, I have people who will let me have them at wholesale and I don’t have to deal with the company anymore. My upline is the worst too. I’m done! paying their bills. 😉🖤

@@notinvein I enrolled in doTERRA to try out their oils. I purposefully enrolled under someone far away, another country, so that nobody would bother me with MLM business. I had a prospering business of my own, did not want another one. Yet soon I had a downline, because people around wanted to enroll. I never expected any help from my upline, neither from doTERRA. I had to translate all the materials into my language (or pay someone to do it), including Modern Essentials. There was 0 materials in Czech language and still kind of is.. I made lectures to educate people not to enroll them and they enrolled. I did not want another business and here I am - Diamond in doTERRA and I earn more from doTERRA than what my original business provides me. From my own experience I can say that it is far easier to build an MLM income than to run a company, have many legal responsibilities, doing complicated accounts and have emploees and being responsible for their needs and social securities. It is not the same as having a job, though. I can also see other WA being pushy and manipulative and I do not like it. MLM as such attracts this kind of people, that is not doTERRA' s fault. As long as doTERRA continues making excellent essential oils, I am in, because I believe the power of essential oils is worth it. I cannot judge the company by the behaviour of people that work for it.
its very simple, you're a sales person or you're not. It's a job like any other job so you either wanna do it or you're not. I believe the whole pay is odd but it's just another "at home business" option some people have. The oils do work. It is what we have used for thousands of years for medicine, but people either want it or they don't
can you explain how 94% of doterra reps don,t earn a buck ? sure a lot of poor sales people in the company jenny then ?
well jenny did the doterra super snake oil , sale rep, never replied to that comment ?
@@davesmith160 i am a dorerra member. I'm not trying to make money off it, but i can if i want to. Its up to the person. Its a business like any other. But the OILS are medicine and help with many things. If that's not your thing, then DON'T USE THEM. Its not a big deal
I want to thank you for this video. I was in a long term relationship with someone who was suffering with medical issues and was literally drawn into this and I had no clue. She refused to see a real doctor, started making wild claims that she was being healed and has found a new opportunity to be in the medical field healing other people. I noticed no changes in her health and she repeatedly told me just 2 more weeks! This went on 3 years. I was told I was being "negative" if I questioned anything. Finally other members seemed to influence her to release the negative and to be healed all must go whom hinder your health by questioning. I started to feel she was not herself anymore it was like she had been brainwashed. I am not sure about what a diamond member is but it involves traveling, classes she described as medical school. While researching this company for the first time I came across your video so im in shock because now it all makes sense to me. I lost someone I really care about to this cult like mentality and I worry for her well being and health. I feel sorry for all the people involved in this very very sad! I feel helpless the more I questioned or recommend real options the more I was pushed away. I wish there was something I could do.
This is really alarming to me. Let me explain : I'm french, and a naturopath (we don't work quite the same way as USA's naturopaths as I understand) and I used essential oils in my work and in my personal life. DoTerra is starting to "invade" the french market and people don't really know about them. We have a lot of small laboratories and business manufacturing and selling essential oils and I've never, I repeat NEVER came across a hundred bucks frankincense essential oils. You can find it around 10 euros or something, from a really good quality brand... Also, the way they push essential oils is really scary when you know how potent it is and how harmful they can be when not used properly...
just show them much doterra on wish , personally still would not use doterra www.wish.com/search/frankincense%20essential%20oil/product/5f46878f9b5885003d3a6fe5?source=search&position=7&share=web

@@paulinemsl i just ordered some to see if would turn up, was worth it to share with the suckers who been trying to get me to join doterra and pay 100 bucks for oil , might stick it on e bay for 50 bucks lol
I found this in March 2021, and I totally agree with you. Thanks for your honesty. Something I've noticed across multiple MLM companies is their lack of enforcement of their ethics guidelines, and their lack of ability to audit themselves and the lack of willingness to get third parties audit their business operations in each country they operate in.
For example, here in Costa Rica, a friend of mine recommended that my mother ought to take Zrii's Amalaki for her fibromyalgia syndrome. This is a non-curable disease. They had no medical studies to prove or disprove their claims.
Since the chemical compound is patented, you are unable to take samples out of it to a laboratory and determine whether it's toxic or not. Basically it's a leap of faith. There are no leaders willing to take a bullet when a MLM company is willingly doing a wrong thing.
WAS #25000 from YL. Girl...you saved your life lol
I'm with you on these stupid reps just telling people to "use this oil"! You are also correct, there is no real training and the pay is not steady. I was like you, I always told people oils are not always safe especially with babies! Make some nice lotions or something and give it to the homeless. I'm a cancer survivor. I attribute it to learning about the immune system and how to boost it to get healthy. Yes, I used YL for years and still do by default but will never sell it or be a part of MLM again. You seem very cool, stay focused on healing, I see your Ray of sunshine 👏👏🙌🙌👍👍
Katrina H what’s your tips to boost your immune system ?
@@gavinscotttraining a healthy diet! Back to basics with the food. I stopped eating a lot of things. #1 was sodas. I love cola, but not to the tune of a 2 liter a day. More vegetables, less amount of what I was eating. Smaller portions basically. I added the oils after I was at about stage 2. The chemo and radiation scared me more than the "c" word. I'm also a published author about my journey to save my life without "Western medicine". I was also able to meet Gary and Mary Young back in the 90's when oils weren't as popular. Never liked that MLM part but the information was amazing. I have a holistic Dr in the family so I tried it my way. 20+ years free from stage 4 cervical cancer. Only surgery! I honestly believe the immune system is the root issue. The virus can activate when you are at your weakest. ✌️💖 Eat from a salad plate instead of that party platter and alot of things in your life will change ☺️
The strep thing reminds me of something...
When I was a little kid I suddenly got extremely ill. Deathly ill. We woke up the next morning and I had a rash and was horribly sick. Lethargic, and just...not okay. My mom obviously rushed me to the E.R. When we got there, the woman in triage immediately took me back. No waiting. I was admitted upon arrival, given oxygen, intravenous medications and fluids, and the doctor told my mom if she had waited just 2 hours to bring me in I’d be dead. He was certain of if. They did testing and confirmed it was group A streptococcus. I had scarlet fever.
I was a sick kid. I was practically unconscious for a few days. There was so,e reason they didn’t want to give me an intramuscular injection which they originally wanted to, so I was put on a super strong dose of antibiotics.
At this time my mom had a daycare. To make a long story short, when she called all the parents to say the center would be closed as she was in the hospital with me, one mom reacted a bit odd. A few minutes after hanging up with my mom she called back and informed my mom that her son has had strep for a while and she never gave him the antibiotics because “antibiotics are bad”. My mom was LIVID. She purposely made sure to try to hide this from my mom because she needed a babysitter and my mom didn’t allow sick kids to come in to daycare unless they’d been on antibiotics for 24 hours or had viral infections. If it was viral or they hadn’t been on antibiotics, they couldn’t come. She exposed everyone to strep. And to make matters worse she goes “I’ve been giving him elderberries, lemon oil, vitamin c, and honey every morning! And he drinks honey, garlic, and onion every night before bed! So I doubt it was him but I thought I should let you know”. She said how he’d still been feeling ill but her homemade “antibiotics” would’ve prevented him from being contagious.
Basically what was happening is the toxins from the group A streptococcus was causing me to be extremely ill. I almost died. All because some moron mom didn’t trust her doctor or antibiotics and thought her natural crap was more effective.
Oh my god that is CRAZY!!! That poor kid has a delusional mumma
My one year old contracted strep/scarlet fever 3 weeks ago. Then my other two kiddos ended up with strep throat. Luckily my baby wasn’t anywhere near death but it was alarming to see a rash like that! Antibiotics cleared her right up!
I can’t believe that mom lied about antibiotics! I bet she doesn’t vaccinate either! I’m so tired of anti-vaxers/anti medicine parents. What happens when your child contracts an illness you could have prevented with a vaccine?! Sorry this gets me going haha!
Enjoyed your story! So happy you are okay!
The BuCrew So glad to hear your kids are alright. Scarlett fever can be terrifying and the rash itself is super scary looking.
I still can’t get over the fact that that woman let her son have strep throat for weeks and didn’t give him antibiotics. Apparently he’d get better for a few days, then get sick again, then get better, then get sick again. She genuinely thought that her natural crap was helping and that SOMEHOW it was good enough to make him not contagious. The worst thing is the thought that she’d sent him to school, to daycare, and around our community like that. She sent him to our daycare center where there were babies as young as 4 months old. When he was enrolled in daycare he was at least thankfully getting vaccinated as my mom and the state required proof of all immunizations. But he was mostly homeschooled after third grade, and would only go three days for one week every month, to a regular school. And I’m not sure if they require students to be immunized the same as they do full time students when they’re in a homeschool program and only do 3 days a week every month. HOPEFULLY so.
Anyway, again, I’m so glad your lil ones are okay! If can be so scary! Especially when you don’t know what idiot parent is putting your kids at risk because of their poor and neglectful parenting choices.
Wow , glad it worked out well for you
@@dianne2305 thanks for sharing
I'm a massage therapist who's been trained in using oils. (Reps are never trained properly IMO based off claims/usage tips ive seen. Plus there's an actual chart to measure out oils that we follow when using them topically) And I just want to put my input on these oils. Oils have great placebo effects (lavendar for relaxing, etc). However you can find better quality oils for a much lower price at your local health stores (Aura Cacia is a great band and very affordable. Also check out your locally owned mom and pop stores, some of those people distill their own oils and they're even better quality). 2, Coconut oil is not really a great carrier, while it has great benefits, its best left off the skin as it can clog your pores badly. Sweet almond oil is a great replacement for coconut oil, we often use that oil in massage! 3. Do not ingest your oils, this is very dangerous and unless you're under the care of a certified aromatherapist, you should never do this. Citrus oils especially because the amount of acid in a single drop is very high. 4. Oil reps should be held accountable for prescribing oils as a treatment. As a massage therapist im regulated by the health board, I cannot prescribe or diagnose or i will lose my license to practice. Why are YL/Doterra reps not held the the same standards. And lastly, Oils do not cure autism, ive seen this claim too many times, autism is a genetic defect, and we all know where genetics come from right? If you do not, please go back and take a basic anatomy class. Other than that like i said, they make a great placebo affect and are useful for things, but be careful who and what you're buying. As someone who's very Anti-MLM and sees them as predatory legal pyramid schemes, good on you for getting out of this before you ran yourself completely into debt. Also im glad you're aware of how certain oils interact with blood clots, pregnancy etc. Great video :)
thanks for info
Thank you for doing this! You are too kind at heart to be a MLM rep. MLM, whichever company, is a CULT. I stopped close contacts with my Sister in law after she joined NuSkin. I cannot stand it allowing myself to be on good terms with ppl who aren’t making a honest living, but go ahead conning family and friends. God bless you girl 💕
I used to be a non believer about essential oils until my cousin that sells for dottera gave me some advice. She made a spray for my sunburn that cleared up in a day and never hurt. She also mixed digestzen with peppermint for menstrual cramps that worked better than anything I’ve tried in the past. I’m only putting my experience on here I’m not a seller nor have I made a purchase from them but I believe I will because the products worked for me.
nobody said oil, does not work kathatherine , you can get the same oil from none mlm company for much less than doterra , let your cousin see this video
I've watched this video a couple times, now. I've had my own reservations against DoTerra and your experience only strengthened my suspicions. Thank you for your very objective and up-front summary of your experience. I've never been a consultant with DoTerra, only a customer. Now I know I'll never sell for their company. Plant Therapy seems to produce some good oils. Going to try theirs. 💛
Yes I just found Plant Therapy as well bc I signed up as a WA with doTerra and I needed some good safety info on oil usage for my kids and googled it and found PT. I was also searching as to why DT changed the original Thieves formula. They replaced the Lemon with Orange and actually that search led me to Plant Therapy which is VERY child safety centered Oil company and has a MUCH BIGGER Kid line of oils than doTerra. SO far I'm impressed. That's how I found out Rosemary ( in Thieves) cannot be used on kids 10 and under. They make a roll on to fight germs that is diluted with safe oils for kids. I love it.
Just smoke weed!! You'll be alright.
😂
I've never smoked weed by the way.. I drank it though 😎
So refreshingly honest, didn't know anybody else thought this was a bit of a scam. I have so much oils don't know what to do with them. Feel guilty like, oh my I should be using my oils ALL THE TIME, ugh. Thank you thank you thank you.
stick them on e bay , lots of other reps are doing it, get some of your bucks back
Thank you so much!! You are the end customer, do not forget it. Then you have to convince others!
Thank you, this has confirmed my long held belief about doTERRA. While caring for a friend dying from liver cancer, the local doTERRA sales woman convinced her that if she put drops of frankincense directly into her mouth throughout the day it would cure her. Shortly after she died. The cost was an outrageous AU$90 for a small bottle, my friend was a pensioner, she went into debt to pay for a ridiculous amount of product the woman off loaded onto my friend. The same size bottle from a local wholesaler is less than $20. Sick people are vulnerable and easy targets. More of these MLM companies need to be exposed for using fraudulent tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised if ingesting frankincense was dangerous for her already diseased liver.
Good call. While frankincense toxicity hasn't been well-studied, one study of rats did show that giving frankincense tea over 30 days significantly decreased the rats' liver and kidney function. (Jehad Yousef, 2011).
D Derby that is interesting, and not surprising. My friend was taking it neat, I suspected at the time it was potentially dangerous for her but she trusted the woman’s sales pitch. Even though the woman knew her cancer was terminal she signed her up to sell the product which entailed committing to buy all these products she couldn’t afford. The woman and her husband endeared themselves to my friend, a single woman living alone without financial means. The offer to make lots of money seemed the answer to her prayers. They convinced her the cancer would go away, she was desperate.
As a licensed aromatherapist I am so glad to hear you care about safety and are leaving an MLM. I have read so many things online from MLM aromatherapy dealers that made me shudder. I spent months learning safety and to see it blown off because of what someone's upline told them is concerning to say the least.
L North 100%. I’ve been in school for a year learning all about oils and it drives me crazy how someone can just join a MLM and start “prescribing” oils. Shouldn’t even be legal.
@@steph4248 I agree.
We have a certified aromatherapist and use the oils in the hospital with our patients. She prefers doterra because of the research and GCMS reports.
Julie H. There are plenty of companies that give you access to GCMS reports and are very high quality without the mlm concept and high price.
@@lnorth3560 Any companies you recommend?
There were recently two months in a row where I was unable to hit my PV because of financial issues. I had been hitting way above it for over a year. I wasn’t getting support from my upline or hearing from her at all and struggling with the business. She randomly messaged me through social media the first month I hadn’t hit my PV saying. “You still need to hit 90 more PV”. ... no “hi how are you, how are your babies?”... I swear that was her message. The following month she messaged saying “you only have a 10 PV order and won’t hit get commission if you don’t place 110. “... I at the time was making less than $100 commission, so why would I place an order I don’t need to make less in return? It made me sick to my stomach and the following month I decided I have all the oils and products I need. I was having a hard time anyway signing up ppl for awhile and only one of my downlines was really building. Everyone else was more of sharers. I’m still with doterra, but unmotivated and will only buy once in awhile when I need something. I like the Deep Blue products which I do really love. I’ve tried every restful oil (serenity, lavender, vetiver, cedarwood, ect) on my two kids and it doesn’t guarantee them sleeping through the night. I still wake 1-3 times a night between my 1 and 2 year old. I feel for you and I’m glad you did what was best for you. Mlm’s are hard and not for everyone. I made more money working at a call center for 4 years than the little I made through doterra. I prefer a normal full time job and not bugging everyone I know or finding ways to reconnect or bring up doterra everywhere I go. I have friends who are successful and revolve their life around doterra. That’s good for them, it’s just not for me. By the way, I think I saw it met you at convention last year. If you remember a huge pregnant girl in a maxi dress, that was me! ☺️
Omg were you the one I helped carry all those books and bags for? I remember that VERY well!
Kay Nichols Yes, that was me! My hair was an ombré color. You were so kind to offer me help. I think it was the first day when we got our backpacks or it could have been after I bought the convention kit. You were kind to offer to help me! I knew you looked familiar! By the way, I remember they had water machines in the back of the auditorium during the conference sessions, but that to bad they didn’t have them out at or after the gala. I didn’t go to the gala. I was brand new. Sorry you were judged by your team after your experience.
Vanessa, if you still have your oils, consider putting Lavender on the top of your little ones toes to help them sleep at night. My granddaughter does this and it helps her a lot ... take care
Jan Murdoch Thank you! I Snead’s covered the whole toe and bottom of feet.I have already tried Lavender, as well as Serenity, Vetiver, Chamomile, and Cedarwood. Sometimes it would work on my daughter, other times not. None have worked with my son. He’s now 2.5. Serenity worked the first few times and then it no longer worked.
This one chick tried getting me to buy the deep blue set from DT to treat my carpal tunnel and said that I wouldnt need surgery if I used it. I told her it was too expensive for me because it would be the majority of my pay check. Like if I cant afford to get surgery why would I spend it on a essential oil set? That woman had the audacity to tell me "its only $159. If your health is really important to you then you can find the money to buy it". I went off on her. I have only been into essential oils for a couple months and refuse to buy from the MLM companies. There is no reason for them to be that expensive and it becoming more and more clear how crappy they are to their advocates. Its disgusting and I'm happy that you got out of it.
shocking
I'm glad you are doing what is good for you!
Your experience doesn't match mine at all, but if I experienced what you have, I'd be questioning too. I'm so sorry to hear you received awful messages (#2) and horrible treatment at convention.
As a doterra rep, I have been trained many times to give medical advice and prescriptions. "Dilute this and that for babies" etc. I've been taught about flu bombs too. I actually believed I knew what I was talking about. I was also trained to not trust doctors and that doctors were trying to steal our money and give us drugs. I was trained into thinking I was helping people, including my family. I was told I was part of community that wanted to help families.
I quit Young Living this past month for the same exact reasons. I could have made this video myself..
same amount, if not more, of oils.
Same thought process with other’s posts.
All of it. Mlms are ruthless.
I'm thinking about leaving my company but purely because of the COSTS. Fortunately, I have always felt validated and never coerced to SELL. It's sad when the people around your business group shut you out of needed education... sorry that happened to you. I do love and trust my oils and especially how the other distributors/users help each other even if they are not in the same "family". The genuine support I have received over the last 12 years has been a BLESSING whether I built a business or not. I do admit that I have found the OILS that work for me; especially during this season and with our grandkids. That's the only reason I hesitate leaving my company. (I'm not sellsy either) Thanks for sharing your story - HONEST conversations are always needed and appreciated!
Let’s go B-epic🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️💪🏾. I like essential oils. But if you don’t want to be disappointed, don’t replace antibiotics with them.. Cannot be your way of earning, just an hobby. Don’t sell, don’t see it as a business opportunity. Read. Carefully before use. Don’t buy more than you need. Save your money. Enjoy life😊
don,t sign up to 100 buck autoship or you will end up with a house full of doterra like this lady
Almost got scammed by a doterra advocate trying to steal my card details off her computer
Be careful people
Don't ever put your card information on someone else computer
It automatically saves it
So all Doterra advocates are thieves?

DoTerra rep told me that before my husband gets a new hip as prescribed by the DR after other treatments didn’t work, to spray an essential oil on the hip area. Of course, it didn’t do anything (for $20 cuz she was bugging me). He got his new hip and is working, golfing and biking.
Go to the Plant Therapy blog, you'll find lots of ways to use up all those oils, if you haven't already.
The company doesn't have repercussions for non-compliance. Agreed!
there's only one tip: you see a pyramid scheme? if so, then RUN. RUN AWAY. good for you.
I have a family member who is a doterra affiliate. She recommended a number of things for my pregnancy and I checked with my naturopath and herbalist and both said NO to what she recommended! Not safe for pregnancy at all. It scares me that people are not trained and are suggesting things that they know nothing about!!!!
Thanks. You are informative. I’ll pass this on to someone I know who’s selling doterra.
It’s sad that these experiences have us so guarded. I had someone come up to me at work, and I was excited about the business opportunity until I learned it was Amway. Why do folks have to be so sketchy? I love DoTerra, and use it, just feel uncomfortable with the sales process and people hiding the full details.
Plenty of other oil that better price , not over priced mlm to pay suckers in chain 😱
I agree. I have so many testimonies of the benefits experienced by my own family... where antibiotics didn't work etc and the eo did it. I use doterra for over a decade, healed my moms psoriasis on 2 days, which she battled for 2 years... and I personally never sold doterra. I got in to read the health not the financial benefits.
So I guess it depends what people are looking for.. and BTW, I'm also an experienced RN.
@@DropsofHope83 what oil cleared psoriasis ? And how was it used
Thank you for this honest, compelling, and necessary video. You're very brave to have shared this in the face of DT's relentlessly defensive cult mentality.
do you all agree with this, doterra reps ?
our ftc says these are the 3 points of a pyramid scheme
1 the income bucks earned is mainly on the recruiment of new sales guys to the company . income you make on retail is minimal ?
2 you are required to buy a lot of inventory each month , that does not go to a customer ?
3you are forced to buy products you don,t want or need to stay in the bonus structure of the company ?
wonder how many bucks is the retail price of doterra oil in this video ?
It does sound like a cult. I heard some of the same things when I got tricked into going to a Scientology meeting!
how did they trick you ?
Jan Tustin - Tricked into a Scientology meeting?! 🤣 What in the world. Do tell. I’m so curious as to how this happened. (On the bright side - at least you can use that experience as a “fun fact” about yourself. Lol.)
@@sabrina.natalie what was a scientology meeting like
well, the way she described her experience with doterra does indeed sound horrible. I work with doTERRA oils and have been having a completely opposite experience. By the way I actually did get into Scientology and left them after a month. They would keep calling me and send me mail everywhere I move))) they were stalking me. I had to put them on the DNC list.
Good on your for sharing your experience. Very brave to speak the truth.
Yes she is speaking Her truth...but not The truth.
My soon to be ex sells this stuff and I've never been comfortable with it and its uses. She tried to get me to sell it with her and i genuinely could not do it. I couldn't explain to someone how it works and therefore I can't sell it/won't sell it. Secondly, she doesn't pay her taxes from her 1099. We file jointly and I've been absorbing her tax burden since she started.
How'd the break up go?
So a friend of mine got me into this selling doTERRA I'm starting to think it's a gimmick I've had one person interested and one person buy something I'm not making any money she's been with the company for a little over 3 years and she must make a lot of money with it I would love to just quit the whole thing and I don't know how to
That’s why I go plant therapy brand, good brand affordable price for more volume, no other brand for me
Have you tried revive? Also really good
Nicole Stankis-Miskimon I love Revive! I have both Plant Therapy and Revive. I do have 2 young living and I had a discount on the YL diffuser. But I prefer the others that doesn’t have a a me membership attached to it. But revive and plant therapy are my go to.
I love plant therapy.
Thank for sharing.I respect your decision.
Hahaha that's funny because Sephora has a program where you do the same. 😂
I didn't get in to the EO arena to make money. I got in it to have the oils for my own personal use. There's too many of these companies that do this and the scheme has been around for a long time. Think Amway, Noni Juice, etc. It's one thing to use them for yourself, it's another thing to try and do it to make money. It's almost always a failure. Great video by the way!
