When I used to work for a famous cosmetic surgeon/dermatologist we saw many cases of gynecomastia which is the development of breast tissue in males. It can be resolved with an incision around the areola and the removal of the breast tissue and sometimes skin excision. In some instances, it can be liposuctioned out with a thin cannula to reduce scarring.

I met with a young man who struggled daily with the disfigurement - he was a thin, attractive 22 year old with one B cup breast: I’ll call him “John”. He was so ashamed and had to use tape to appear normal. When I talked to him on the phone I told him not to be embarrassed and it was a common occurrence and could be remedied with a short surgery. He cried tears of joy after he revealed his chest because he said I was the first woman who had ever seen it and I reacted with a quick “Oh that’s no problem - we can fix that.” instead of the reaction he had imagined a woman might have.

My heart ached for the pain he must have endured thinking women would find him disgusting.

After his surgery he said a weight had been lifted off of him - he was so grateful to feel “normal”.

I saw the same phenomenon in the men who took female hormones to develop breast tissue of their own. But they were doing this on purpose. John never took hormones - did he?

It made me wonder if it was something these men had been exposed to topically or internally.

I was shocked when I discovered this study:

Physiological effects and mechanisms of action of endocrine disrupting chemicals that alter estrogen signaling

Chemicals in lavender and tea tree oil appear to be hormone disruptors

Lavender oil linked to early breast growth in girls

Could these all be fake and created to keep us from using lavender oil to our benefit: YES

I entertain that possibility but I’m not willing to risk it on my own family or customers. I’ve seen people claim soy can have a similar effect which is one of the many reasons I would never have it in my workshop or home. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a good thing to use in Anna’s Wild Yam Cream which is said to help women suffering from symptoms of menopause because it might aid in balancing hormones.

I just don’t feel comfortable using something in my products that could cause harm to anyone. Please feel free to message me if you have contrary information that could convince me otherwise!

I only want to make Angelpaste if it is something that Almighty God has ordained.

Psalm 1 of the King James Bible says:

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

I take this to mean that the people that work with me making Angelpaste should follow Gods’ law as I should.

So the people that follow Gods’ will and law will be successful in life. Every time I make Angelpaste I pray that the people who use Anglepaste will be healed and brought to Him. I truly believe this is the reason Angelpaste has healed and helped so many. I am so humbled and grateful to have been given the gift of this business - I thank The Lord everyday!

Thank you to all of you who use and love Angelpaste Miracle Cream. God bless you!

Love,

Barbara
