Today, we invite you to explore something extraordinary that could change your skincare game forever!

Your skin is a reflection of what you put into your body.

Unlocking radiant skin goes beyond topical treatments; it starts with nourishing your body from the inside out. At Essence of Egypt we take these sorts of thing seriously.

Hi. I don’t mind telling you that my name is Jim. At 76 years of age, I am the daddy in the Essence of Egypt skincare and healthcare company, where I work every day. My career took me in 1996 to Australia to learn Bowen therapy that saved me from a life of back-pain misery. Returned to Scotland I signed up for the nursing entrance exam and completed a two year-course; where at the age of 50, I was the oldest in the class, and the only man. My clinic in Glasgow opened in 2000. It ran successfully until four years ago.

  • Expert in Essential Oils: While working at the clinic, I was fortunate to study with some of the finest experts in essential oil (EO) research and learning much from them, and from my own attendance at EO seminars around the world, we started making skincare products in 2008. Covid wasn’t good for the company, or was my health (I will explain). For two years we stopped making anything.
  • Recovering from Terminal Cancer: I make no secret that in November 2021, out of the blue, I was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer. It affects one-in-six men. The health service was (is) in crisis and it was in the US that I discovered ‘integrated medicine,’ that I wholeheartedly embraced. The joy in all of this is that in January 2024 my oncologist called me to say that “the tumour in my lung had disappeared,” and that “there was no, new cancer in my body.” You can read all about this on my personal website. And its where you can purchase a copy of my book – Prostate Cancer – So What! In the final chapter, I explain the (easy to use) 25-battle-axes that keep me bright and healthy.
  • Why nutrition Matters: Integrated medicine is shunned in the UK, while in the US it is blossoming. Angiogenesis as a science was founded by the brilliant Dr William Li, and you can read more about him, and why many diseases are preventable at his website. Before finding him, I knew nothing about how by eating the right food types – we can all starve a tumour. But I do now.
  • So, if you can do this to your body, just by eating, just imagine what can you do to your skin?

Let us begin with an introduction:

At Essence of Egypt, our focus is all about what’s good for our customers; their health and their intelligent skin. And it’s here that we would like to introduce you to something special:

Your skin is a reflection of what you put into your body. Unlocking radiant skin goes beyond topical treatments; and starts with nourishing your body from the inside out. It’s what I did to help myself – and to amaze my oncologist. The problem was that I had to all the hard work myself. There was, little of value in the UK that I found helpful. So, you can imagine my delight when in the US I discovered angiogenesis and epigenetic’s; my good friend and advocate, Professor Bruce Lipton, the wonderful Buddhist Monk and Vietnam war activist, Thich Nhat Hanh (who taught me everything about meditation), visualisation (that will be an article in not too many weeks ahead), Philip Lymbery the CEO at Compassion in World Farming, and his wonderful book 60 Harvests Left; Louise Hay, Dr Lisa Rankin, the incredibly wonderful Dr Bernie S Siegel……and others.

But there was one exception in the UK that I found to my joy much later in my journey, and it’s here that I would like to introduce you to the delightful Dr Rangan Chatterjee. I signed up for his weekly blog earlier this year, and I am glad that I did, because this week he is interviewing Dr William Li.

Dr William Li

This interview is all about brain food, but I think it’s more than that. Every part of your body (including the skin), can benefit (as I have found) by eating the right food types. For goodness sake, look at what it did to my health!! So, the link to todays blog and to these two exceptional people is of tremendous value. For your own health-sake, let it be the catalyst from this day on.

Buying a book for Christmas

Prostate Cancer – So What! This book might be a surprise for any man to receive (especially at Christmas). But so was the cancer that arrived unannounced. So, in a way, given that it affects one-in-six men in the UK (and one-in-three if you are black), then buying a book for dad, an uncle, brother, son, might just be the most important thing that you could do for them. The very best Christmas present ever! And it’s on special offer this month for just £10. It tells of my journey; my struggles, what I found, and how I embraced most everything I came across. In this process, I used essential oils every day.

With particular regard to my illness, and the use of essential oils and other ‘natural’ medicines, I must express my gratitude to my friend Professor Dana Flavin; a woman who has single-handedly saved thousand of lives of terminal cancer patients of all types. She uses nature to help reverse symptoms, and to return each patient to health. At the same time, she devoted her life to finding treatments for many diseases. Collmed is one of her websites, and it’s where that you can read more about this magnificent woman.

This book is for Women too.
Breast Cancer – recovery and prevention is possible + Building a Community.

To round up my story today, I haven’t tried to to sell you a stick from the Essence of Egypt website, because that’s not what we do. Rather we are a skincare and healthcare company focused on health and wellbeing in all its facets. Simply-stated, they are all linked.

So, it is our hope that you can agree with us when we say that we are keen to build a community of like-minded people. Folks like us who want to create our own ‘blue-zone’, living a long and happy life. As for women; by adopting the methods in my book, you too can benefit your body in a myriad of ways, keeping you the picture of health that we all want to see.
