I’m so glad you are now making these amazing products available to anyone going through radiation!
Here is my story about using these products:
I contacted Brenda last October, asking if she could make a product to protect my skin and tissue, as I was about to go through three weeks of daily radiation for breast cancer. I hated the thought of putting my body through that much radiation, but the statistics weren’t great for my health if I skipped it.
I had used other 512organics products before, and I appreciated that all of her products were made with love and the cleanest, highest quality ingredients, so I reached out to her. Brenda researched what radiation does to the body, and then researched what organic ingredients have been proven to help with the damaging effects from radiation. She also researched which essential oils help with breast cancer radiation. And that’s what she put in these products. For three weeks before radiation, I used the Before Radiation oil [Step 1] on the breast that was going to be radiated. At night I would saturate that same breast with the Radiation Repair oil [Step 2]. When I went to radiation, before I put my bra and shirt back on to leave the clinic, I sprayed that breast with the soothing spray [Step 3] and went back to work.
After a week or so of the radiation, my breast started itching a little and it broke out with a few tiny bumps. I started using the Soothing Spray and the Radiation Days a lot more. Anytime it itched, I saturated it with the Radiation Days oil. I finished the daily radiation and “the boost” with NO burning, NO blistering, NO missing of work or daily life. I was able to wear a bra throughout the entire process. This is not typical at all. I attribute the ease of my experience to Brenda’s oils (and a positive attitude too!).
After I finished the radiation, I continued to use the Radiation Days oil for 6 more weeks because of residual itching, and because I wanted ALL of the discoloration on that side of my chest to go away. Now if you were to see my chest, you could not see the three surgery scars or any discoloration. This is VERY unusual. I’ve seen other women’s breasts a long time after they finished radiation and the skin discoloration was still there. My oncologist, radiologist and my massage therapist were all impressed with how well my skin looked.
I can not stress enough that you really do not want to go through radiation without these products. I know that they helped my skin, my breast tissue, my scarring and my emotions going though this treatment process. Thank you so much, Brenda!
