Between shocking sentences and authoritative arguments, Guillaume Chopin does not waver in his efforts to persuade his reader that essential oils live their last moments. With his petition for the “Safeguarding ofAromatherapy French and the free use of essential oils “, he has already succeeded in convincing more than 195,000 people that essential oils had” become the number 1 concern of the French Medicines Agency (ANSM), the “health police “In France.” However, there is nothing to confirm such a thing.
Real arguments?
The author of the petition puts forward several arguments to support these statements:
- an ANSM document dating from 2016 which “reveals the underground strategy of this organization”
- the ban in 2007 of 15 essential oils for free sale, “by reserving them only to pharmacists”
- the harassment suffered by companies producing these oils, such as the company Do terra (United States) which saw the “big arms” of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) land at the end of 2014.
In short, pharmaceutical lobbying “does not want the French to understand the incredible power of these natural substances capable of treating 90% of diseases”.
Old provisions totally justified
For the first argument, the ANSM sought to specify and clarify the regulations concerning essential oils. Indeed, essential oils are classified into three categories: cosmetics, sanitizing sprays, and drugs. However, some cosmetic companies tout the health benefits of their products – such as a face cream that can cure a skin problem – and this is where the ANSM is cracking down, because it is not. medication.
Regarding the second point, the essential oils concerned can be toxic, cause convulsions or hallucinations. These plants have strong effects and the advice and advice of a pharmacist are therefore essential. Finally, for the last point, the “big arms” was a letter criticizing the company for saying that their oils could cure diseases such as Cancer, brain damage,autism, the disease ofAlzheimer’s and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (TDHA). And this, of course, without supporting evidence.
So, contrary to what the petition claims, the regulations for essential oils will not be toughened. According to The world, Guillaume Chopin is also at the origin of similar campaigns against vaccines or the new formula of Levothyrox (see his publications on vaccines and on the Lévothyrox on his Facebook account)
