"Tremors, excess salivation, lack of coordination and muscle weakness"
Limonene and Linalool (Citrus Peel Extracts) - Contain insecticidal
compounds that kill many insect pests, e.g., fire ants, and fleas, but
may be of low toxicity to mammals. There is some controversy as to
their safety and should, therefore, only be used with discretion and
proper notification. The two most effective insecticidal compounds
are d-limonene, a terpene that constitutes about 90% of crude citrus
oil, and linalool, a terpene alcohol. Terpenes are hydrocarbons found
in essential oils. They are used as solvents, fragrances and flavors
in cosmetics and beverages. Linalool can also be extracted from pine
wood. Citrus oils have a fresh floral odor and an oil consistency.
Limonene and linalool are contact poisons that heighten sensory nerve
activity in insects, causing massive over-stimulation of motor nerves
that leads to convulsion and paralysis. Some insects, such as adult
fleas, can recover from the initial paralysis unless limonene is
synergized by pipernoyl butoxide (PBO), or formulated with sodium
borate - not done commercially as yet. It has been determined that
linalool is not a cholinesterase inhibitor (a nerve poison), but it is
when formulated with the questionable pipernoyl butoxide. Limonene
and linalool are available in aerosol and liquid products. They are
currently marketed primarily as flea dips and shampoos but are also
formulated with insecticidal soap for use as contact poisons. When
applied topically to some laboratory animals both compounds can
irritate the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Both moderate and high
does of these substances can cause tremors, excess salivation, lack of
coordination and muscle weakness. However, the symptoms are usually
temporary, lasting several hours to several days, and the animals
usually recover fully. Limonene has been shown to promote tumor
formation in mouse skin, so use these products sparingly and with
proper notification. Limonene and linalool are currently registered
for use against fleas, aphids and mites, but, these compounds also
kill fire ants, houseflies, stable flies, black soldier flies, paper
wasps and house crickets. In a field test using grated limes, all the
fruit flies were immobilized in 15 minutes, and all were dead in two
hours. Citrus oils (commercial or homemade), therefore, have the
potential for much wider use, including treatments for livestock and
human ectoparasites, fumigation of food handling and storage
facilities and household pest control.

Limonene and Linalool - Natural v synthetic
A question that often crops up regards the safety of limonene and
linalool. There have been lots of scare stories in the press and on
the internet which stems from confusion regarding synthetic limonene
and linalool and the natural counterparts.
Limonene and linalool occur naturally as a contituent in many
essential oils. For example, one of the natural constituents of lemon
essential oil is limonene, and one of the natural constituents of
lavender essential oil is linalool.
They can also be manufactured synthetically and this is where the
problems occur. When produced synthetically they can have all sorts of
nasty side effects due to the extreme strength at which they are
produced, using often aggressive chemicals. On the other hand, Mother
Nature is so clever that, when she produces it, she only does it in
perfect balance so that when used correctly it is not only safe but
beneficial.
It used to be that the natural componentry of essential oils did not
have to be shown on ingredients listings but recent legislation says
that manufacturers need to show them. It can be really confusing for
customers. What is important is that when you read ingredient labels,
you need to check for whether the limonene and linalool are naturally
occuring from essential oils contained in the product.

Aromatherapy as a safe and effective treatment for the management of
agitation in severe dementia: the results of a double-blind, placebo-
controlled trial with Melissa.
Ballard CG, O'Brien JT, Reichelt K, Perry EK.
Wolfson Research Centre, Newcastle General Hospital, Institute for
Ageing and Health, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
c.g.ballard@ncl.ac.uk
BACKGROUND: Behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia are
frequent and are a major management problem, especially for patients
with severe cognitive impairment. Preliminary reports have indicated
positive effects of aromatherapy using select essential oils, but
there are no adequately powered placebo-controlled trials. We
conducted a placebo-controlled trial to determine the value of
aromatherapy with essential oil of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm)
for agitation in people with severe dementia. METHOD: Seventy-two
people residing in National Health Service (U.K.) care facilities who
had clinically significant agitation in the context of severe dementia
were randomly assigned to aromatherapy with Melissa essential oil (N =
36) or placebo (sunflower oil) (N = 36). The active treatment or
placebo oil was combined with a base lotion and applied to patients'
faces and arms twice a day by caregiving staff. Changes in clinically
significant agitation (Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory [CMAI]) and
quality of life indices (percentage of time spent socially withdrawn
and percentage of time engaged in constructive activities, measured
with Dementia Care Mapping) were compared between the 2 groups over a
4-week period of treatment. RESULTS: Seventy-one patients completed
the trial. No significant side effects were observed. Sixty percent
(21/35) of the active treatment group and 14% (5/36) of the placebo-
treated group experienced a 30% reduction of CMAI score, with an
overall improvement in agitation (mean reduction in CMAI score) of 35%
in patients receiving Melissa balm essential oil and 11% in those
treated with placebo (Mann-Whitney U test; Z = 4.1, p < .0001).
Quality of life indices also improved significantly more in people
receiving essential balm oil (Mann-Whitney U test; percentage of time
spent socially withdrawn: Z = 2.6, p = .005; percentage of time
engaged in constructive activities: Z = 3.5, p = .001). CONCLUSION:
The finding that aromatherapy with essential balm oil is a safe and
effective treatment for clinically significant agitation in people
with severe dementia, with additional benefits for key quality of life
parameters, indicates the need for further controlled trials.

Abstract
The developmental toxicity of linalool, a widely used fragrance
ingredient, was evaluated in presumed pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (25/
group). Oral dosages of 0, 250, 500, or 1000 mg/kg/day linalool were
administered by gavage on gestational days 7 to 17. The presence of
spermatozoa and/or a copulatory plug in situ was designated as
gestational day 0. Rats were observed for viability, clinical signs,
body weights, and feed consumption. Caesarean sectioning and necropsy
occurred on gestational day 21. Uteri were examined for number and
distribution of implantations, live and dead fetuses, and early and
late resorptions. Numbers of corpora lutea were also recorded. Fetuses
were weighed and examined for gender, gross external changes, and soft
tissue or skeletal alterations. There were no maternal deaths,
clinical signs, or gross lesions that were considered related to
linalool. During the dosage period, mean relative feed consumption was
significantly reduced by 7% and mean body weight gains were reduced by
11% at 1000 mg/kg/day. During the postdosage period, feed consumption
values at 1000 mg/kg/day were significantly higher than vehicle
control values, which corresponded to the increase in body weight
gains during this period. Caesarean section and litter parameters, as
well as fetal alterations, were not affected by linalool at any of the
three dosages tested. On the basis of these data, the maternal no
observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of linalool is 500 mg/kg/day,
whereas the developmental NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg/day. It is concluded
that linalool is not a developmental toxicant in rats at maternal
doses of up to 1000 mg/kg/day.

We have previously demonstrated that a linalool-rich essential oil
from Croton cajucara Benth presents leishmanicidal activity.
In the present study, we demonstrate that this essential oil inhibits
the growth of reference samples of Candida albicans, Lactobacillus
casei, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sobrinus, Porphyromonas
gingivalis and Streptococcus mutans cell suspensions, all of them
associated with oral cavity disease.
The purified linalool fraction was only inhibitory for C. albicans.
Microbes of saliva specimens from human individuals with fixed
orthodontic appliances, as well as the reference strains, were used to
construct an artificial biofilm which was exposed to linalool or to
the essential oil.
As in microbial suspensions, the essential oil was toxic for all the
microorganisms, while the purified linalool fraction mainly inhibited
the growth of C. albicans.
The compounds of the essential oil were separated by thin layer
chromatography and exposed to the above-cited microorganisms.
In this analysis, the proliferation of the bacterial cells was
inhibited by still uncharacterized molecules, and linalool was
confirmed as the antifungal component of the essential oil.
The effects of linalool on the cell biology of C. albicans were
evaluated by electron microscopy, which showed that linalool induced a
reduction in cell size and abnormal germination.
Neither the crude essential oil nor the purified linalool fraction is
toxic to mammalian cells, which suggests that the essential oil or its
purified components may be useful to control the microbial population
in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.

Maybe so, maybe no, but it was a good comeback either way.

Fair enough.
I never blocked Tommy even when I could as occassionally
he does make a find. And as long as he doesn't edit
the abstracts, I let the chips fall as they might.
He tempts others to mock him which logically I know
is a waste of time..

I've never blocked him either, but I don't bother to read his posts. To
me, his biggest sin is cross posting (which I'm doing now, I know). I
think he's more or less harmless, and he does occasionally display a
pretty good sense of humour.

Does anybody believe Jesus was a vegetarian? (I believe he was a
priest.)

I have no idea what he ate, and don't much care. But I thought he was
a Jew, which would make him a rabbi, wouldn't it?
