Gary himself appeared to do well - he bought private planes and horses and a 1.3 million dollar home in Salt Lake City. And then you can earn their commission.ĬH: Do, do people who are selling Young Living actually make money from it? NE: The way you can really make money in this business is by recruiting more people. He had thousands of members spreading the gospel of Young Living through word-of-mouth, and bringing in others to spread it along with them.

But with a multi-level marketing structure, he didn't have to do all of the talking. There was only so much he could say about the medical benefits of his products before he risked getting in trouble again. The problem though is other people are saying these things and that's how these messages are being touted.ĬH: Remember, when Gary founded the company, he'd been in trouble with the law. And the company itself they are not explicitly making these claims, they're not explicitly saying that oils can treat XYZ disease. NE: I mean, it seems from my reporting that the multilevel marketing model is really successful in allowing Young Living to keep in technical compliance with FDA laws.

NE: Bioelectrical cell activator therapy, blood crystallization tests, live cell analysis, administering IVs, and intramuscular injections of vitamins and minerals, lots of wacky things that were later debunked by actual medical professionals when the state of California started looking into this. There, he offered a variety of "treatments" to cure diseases like cancer and MS. He went on to open a health company in San Diego, along with a clinic right across the US-Mexico border. But after this, he picked up and moved to California. And he was arrested and pled guilty to practicing medicine without a license.Ĭh: At the time, Gary and his first wife were operating an herb shop and nutrition center. And let's just say that didn't go over well. And Gary ended up offering them prenatal services and said he could treat cancer. Police officers posed as a pregnant couple seeking medical advice. The incident spurred local authorities to begin looking into this guy and they began secretly investigating Gary. And according to a county coroner, who told the local newspaper at the time, the baby girl remained underwater for almost an hour before she was removed. And he did it for a seventh child, a baby girl, and she died. And he had six children with his first wife, four out of the six he delivered himself. They also skip over how one of his daughters died in the early 1980s while he was trying to personally deliver her in a Whirlpool bath. When we asked Young Living about these allegations, it didn't respond. NE: Whether we know if the essential oils caused his death, that remains uncertain.ĬH: Business Insider has not seen an autopsy report, and we don't know that the oils were the cause.

You know, Gary was frustrated that the lady couldn't understand his very broken Spanish and when we learned that that gentleman died, it's 'oh, you know, they just didn't follow my instructions.' The lady had kept these in the freezer and then had taken these out of the freezer and let them thaw a little bit, and then connected her father up to the IVs and her father was in a great amount of pain and Gary goes over and he looks at the IV and you could still see a chunk of ice in the center of the IV bag. And Gary had apparently provided them with a number of bags of IV solution. DAVID: And I'll never forget that the poor gentleman was in a, uh, a very poor house and had kind of a, a gurney type bed with ropes to help him get in and out of the bed.
