Frainkincense oil an effective alternative to more expensive cancer therapies
Hsueh-Kung Lin, PhD
Scientific Advisory Board Member
Hsueh-Kung Lin earned his MSc degree in Genetics and PhD in Immunology from Cornell University. He received his postdoctoral training in Biochemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Currently, he is the Director of the Regenerative Medicine laboratory, an Assistant Professor of Urology and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Physiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, as well as a research scientist with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
His research interests involve identification and characterization of alternative medicine in wound healing and cancer therapy, identification of biomarkers for early cancer detection and cancer management, understanding steroid hormone metabolism in cancer development in steroid target tissues, and understanding and improving wound healing and tissue regeneration to, ultimately, provide rapid and functional organ regeneration and minimize organ transplant.
Dr. Lin was the lead researcher in a University of Oklahoma study, published in the March 2009 issue of the British Medical Council's journal Complementary and Alternative Medicine, studying the effects of frankincense oil on human bladder cancer cells. The study demonstrates that frankincense oil suppressed cancer growth and activates the mechanisms that worked to kill the cancerous cells, effectively eliminating cancer cell lines, while leaving normal, healthy cells alone. It is actually able to differentiate between the two.
Dr. Lin stated that "Frankincense oil may represent an inexpensive alternative therapy for patients currently suffering from bladder cancer."
On the day this study was released, there were over 45 news stories on it, from Fox News and other outlets around the world. dōTERRA® is extremely proud that a member of its Scientific Advisory Board just published such groundbreaking work. It is further evidence that dōTERRA® is working with a functional board, fully capable of bringing to fruition doTERRA's mission of creating a bridge between allopathic and natural medicine, as they continue to build that bridge one brick at a time.

Lavender in the News
Reducing stress: A recent study at the Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital (reported on the Star-Telegram.com website) demonstrated that lavender oil, massaged into the forearms, was effective at reducing stress levels.
In this study, 14 intensive care nurses, who worked 12-hour shifts, rubbed essential oils on their forearms and were then asked to rate their stress levels. Half were given a true lavender and clary sage essential oil, while the other half were given a placebo, made from almond oil. More than half of the nurses using the lavender essential oil reported a decrease in perceived stress.
The article emphasized the importance of using a pure, therapeutic-grade essential oil, that has not been diluted or spiked with chemical fillers.*
Other important benefits from lavender oil:
→ Reducing cortisol levels: chron.com reported on a study that found that just five minuted of exposure to a mild lavender scent helped to curb the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that can trigger inflammation and lead to premature aging.
→ Calming and promoting sleep: Other studies on lavender oil demonstrated its effectiveness in fighting insomnia and working as a calming agent.
→ Calming headaches: Lavender can be rubbed onto the temples to calm headaches.*
