The Top 10 Reasons Why Coconut Oil Should Be In Your DAILY Diet
Cheapest place to buy good virgin organic coconut oil I know of is Costco
78 oz container of Nutiva brand is about $35 as I remember. Otherwise small jars 
in the health food or grocery stores are about $10 each. This is what you should be using 
though with olive oil next onthe list followed by real butter. Don't use vegetable oils, 
especially soy or canola oil. They are poison.


1. Coconut Oil Contains a Unique Combination of Fatty Acids With Powerful Medicinal Properties.

2. Populations That Eat a LOT of Coconut Are Among The Healthiest People on The Planet.

3. Coconut Oil Can Increase Your Energy Expenditure, Helping You Burn More Fat.

4. The Lauric Acid in Coconut Oil can help fight infections and boost your immune system.

5. Coconut Oil has a satiating effect on your appetite, so even though you ate more fat from the addition of coconut oil, you end up being automatically less hungry later, helping to control your overall caloric intake.

6. The Fatty Acids in Coconut Oil help to increase ketones in the body which can be useful for reducing seizures and also beneficial in treating Alzheimer's Disease.

7. Coconut Oil can improve your ratio of HDL to LDL and decrease your risk of heart disease.

8. Coconut Oil Can Protect Hair Against Damage and Moisturize Your Skin.

9. The Fatty Acids in Coconut Oil Can Boost Brain Function in Healthy people & in Alzheimer's Patients.

10. Coconut Oil can help you lose fat through metabolic efficiency, especially the dangerous visceral fat in your abdominal cavity.

As you can see, this stuff is downright magical for your health.

Can 4 Teaspoons a Day of This Oil
Reverse Alzheimer's Disease?
 


Did You Know...

... that coconut oil has been shown to be a powerful remedy for Alzheimer's -- and dozens of other life-threatening diseases?

Coconut Oil      Fighting Alzheimer's might be as simple as swallowing 4 teaspoons of coconut oil a day.

     In 2008, neonatologist Dr. Mary Newport learned that her husband Steve was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.  Steve was only 58 at the time!  But Dr. Newport had already been watching his slow decline for a few frightening years.  After his diagnosis, she searched desperately to find Steve a clinical trial that might slow the disease's progress.

     After scouring countless journals only to meet dead ends, Mary chanced on the work of Dr. Richard Veech and a handful of others who were studying medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and ketone bodies for Alzheimer's treatment.  Dr. Veech, an NIH researcher, was one of the first to recognize ...

... the Power of Ketone Bodies!

In the late '90s and early 2000s, Dr. Veech discovered how ketones might counteract breakdowns in energy production in both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients.  In 2001, he published his results in the journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, IUBMB Life.

     As it happens, coconut oil is one of the world's best (and few) sources of MCTs.  In fact, 65% of coconut oil is made up of MCTs.  Coconut oil is also an amazing source of ketone bodies, because those are produced through metabolism of MCTs -- and they may be a critical weapon against a host of crippling conditions such as . . .

  • Parkinson's disease
  • ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)
  • Huntington's disease
  • Drug resistant epilepsy
  • Diabetes
  •  

         Mary found hope in Dr. Veech's research and strengthened her resolve to find a clinical trial for Steve to enter -- but her efforts were excruciating and disappointing.  Finally, after an especially upsetting rejection, Dr. Newport made a decision.

         "Thinking, what have we got to lose, we stopped at a health food store on the way home and picked up a quart of 100% 'virgin' coconut oil," Mary said in her recently published case study.  She based a dosage on what she'd found in published studies, and gave Steve about 4 teaspoons of coconut oil a day.

         To Mary's amazement, Steve responded within hours.  She noted distinct cognitive improvements that were verified later during a return trip to Steve's physician.  Dr. Newport continued her case study for 60 days, treating Steve with the same simple daily regimen and monitoring his cognition with standard Alzheimer' tests.

         The results where astonishing -- and when she shared them with Dr. Veech, he wasn't surprised.  In fact, Mary's case study confirmed Veech's research with MCTs.  What did surprise him was that Steve made such fast progress on such a low dosage.

    Food for Thought

    With a unique concentration of high fiber, vitamins, and minerals, the palm nut Spanish explorers called "monkey face" (coco) has long-held star status among exotic foods.  It's ironic that coconut oil was once attacked by nutritionists as dangerously unhealthy -- when in reality it's a marvel of nature with "healthy fats" that can . . .

  • Control cholesterol
  • Prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease
  • Boost metabolism
  • Curb appetite
  • Strengthen the immune system
  •  

         And now its rare fatty acids offer protection against Alzheimer's by replenishing a starving brain.

         The mystery starts with insulin.  Our bodies use insulin to convert glucose from foods we eat into usable energy.  For diabetics, problems kick in when the body stops responding to insulin and slows its production.  No insulin, no energy conversion, no fuel.  The body starts to shut down.

         What research has recently discovered is that the brain actually makes its own insulin, using it to capture glucose and fuel its own needs.

         The brain's localized energy conversion process is the same as in the rest of the body.  But localization opens the door for the same problem that underlies diabetes.  If the brain stops manufacturing insulin, none of the glucose passing through will be converted to fuel.

         Without enough nourishment, the brain literally "starves to death."  In this way, the Alzheimer's-afflicted brain atrophies and shuts down, just like a diabetic's body.  A direct link is unclear, but it comes as no surprise that diabetics have a 65% higher risk for contracting Alzheimer's.

    An Alternative Fuel for the Brain

    Fortunately, the brain has options.  Glucose isn't the only raw material for fuel.  Another substance -- remember those ketone bodies in coconut oil? -- makes an incredibly powerful brain food.

         What Veech and his colleagues learned was that the brain's metabolism of MCTs creates the ketone Beta-hydroxybutyrate, which protects neurons and is converted to energy.  As the body metabolizes ketone bodies, blood flow to the brain also increases. This synergistic process may well prevent degeneration and keep the brain going strong.

         Proof of coconut oil's protective qualities continues to emerge.  Researchers have discovered its powerful antiviral action against a host of offenders including measles, herpes, influenza, Hepatitis C, and even HIV.  Other studies have pointed to its antibiotic properties.  And coconut oil has even been recognized for inhibiting cancerous cell growth -- with studies of prostate cancer showing especially promising results.

    What if there was an actual cure for diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, ALS, epilepsy, dementia, schizophrenia, and even autism? What if that cure was not a drug and available at many health food and even grocery retailers?

     

    What if you could be incorporating something into your diet right now that is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, helps with weight-loss and is one of the richest sources of healthy sources of fat?

    I know it sounds too good to be true but coconut oil can do all these things. It’s natural, widely available and thankfully not a patented. Coconut oil is one of the healthiest cooking and edible oils in the world. It is extracted from the kernel of matured coconuts in typically tropical regions. Throughout the tropics, it has provided the primary source of fat in the diets of millions of people for generations. It has always had various applications in food, medicine, and industry.

    In the video above, Dr. Mary Newport speaks out on her incredible initiative to prescribe coconut oil to her husband, Steve Newport for his Alzheimer’s disease.

    “He had an MRI in May 2008 showing a diffuse involutional change of the frontal and parietal lobes and moderate left-sided and severe right-sided amygdala and hippocampal atrophy with no ischemic change, which would support a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease,” Dr. Newport stated.

    Dr. Newport, a physician who runs a neonatology ward in a Florida hospital, became determined to help her husband after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The report hosted on CBN.com stated that “insulin problems prevent brain cells from accepting glucose, their primary fuel…there is an alternative fuel, ketones which the cells easily accept. Ketones are metabolized in the liver after you eat medium chain triglycerides which are found in coconut oil.”

    After incorporating coconut oil into his diet, Steve Newport began passing specific clock tests designed to help diagnose Alzheimer’s patients. He began improving intellectually, emotionally and physically.

    Dr. Newport documented Steve’s success in a book called Alzheimer’s Disease – What If There Was a Cure? She received dozens of thank you letters from other people whose loved one’s Alzheimer’s was helped after they followed Steve’s diet.

    Coconut oil has always received a criticism because a group of scientists had incorrectly promoted that it increased LDL cholesterol, also known to promote health problems and cardiovascular disease. However, it never did increase LDL cholesterol, but it did increase HDL or good cholesterol. That distinction was never corrected in the mainstream press and the misconception still continues to this day.

    “Why the mainstream persists in this delusion of criticizing coconut oil is beyond the understanding of many in the natural food industry,” said raw food expert and retailer Ian Macdonald.

    “You know you’re on to something healthy when national and international health agencies are advising AGAINST it,” Macdonald stated. “This is typically due to influences from pharmaceutical and high profile corporations who strive on keeping the population sick and diseased,” he added.

     

    For example the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), World Health Organization (WHO), International College of Nutrition, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, American Dietetic Association (ADA), American Heart Association (AHA), British National Health Service (NHS), and Dietitians of Canada all simultaneously recommend AGAINST the consumption of coconut oil. Unfortunately, and against the better interest of the public, none of the above organizations have a track record of recommending healthy solutions for the public, so Macdonald suggests that when these organizations recommend against something, “that is your cue to incorporate it into your diet, with proper research of course.” Coconut oil may be the perfect example.

    The way coconut oil benefits the brain and body can be of benefit to many conditions. Dr. Newport stated:

    “Until very recently, I didn’t see anything regarding the potential use of medium chain triglycerides (MCT oil), or ketone bodies (also called ketoacids,) the end product of their metabolism, which may not only treat, but also prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Further, this is a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), drug resistant epilepsy, brittle type I diabetes, and diabetes type II, where there is insulin resistance. Ketone bodies may help the brain recover after a loss of oxygen in newborns through adults, may help the heart recover after an acute attack, and may shrink cancerous tumors. Children with drug resistant epilepsy sometimes respond to an extremely low carbohydrate ketogenic diet. MCT oil appears to be useful as an aid in weight loss and body builders use it already to improve their lean body mass (MCT oil can be easily purchased on the internet.) Athletes and soldiers could use MCT oil as a source of fuel when the body runs out of carbohydrates, which occurs rather quickly when food is not readily available.”

    Coconut oil is very heat-stable, having one of the highest smoking points, which makes it suited to methods of cooking at high temperatures like frying. Because of its stability, it is slow to oxidize and, thus, resistant to rancidity, lasting up to two years due to high saturated fat content.

    Multiple studies on Pacific Island populations who get 30-60% of their total caloric intact from fully saturated coconut oil have all shown nearly non-existent rates of cardiovascular disease.

    50 percent of the fat content in coconut oil is a fat rarely found in nature called lauric acid. Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties. Lauric acid is a powerful virus and gram-negative bacteria destroyer, and coconut oil contains the most lauric acid of any substance on earth!

    Coconut oil is exceptionally helpful for pregnant women, nursing moms, the elderly, those concerned about digestive health, athletes (even weekend warriors), and those of you who just want to enhance your overall health.

    Nigel Turner and Jiming Ye from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research compared fat metabolism and insulin resistance in mice fed coconut oil and lard based diets.

    “The medium chain fatty acids like those found in coconut oil are interesting to us because they behave very differently to the fats normally found in our diets,” said study leader Turner.

    “Unlike the long chain fatty acids contained in animal fats, medium chain fatty acids are small enough to enter mitochondria – the cells’ energy burning powerhouses – directly where they can then be converted to energy.”

    Why coconut oil stands out as today's most amazing superfood

    by Hesh Goldstein

    (NaturalNews) Coconut oil, from the research I have done, is by far the best of the best. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV, cancer, dental care, and bone strength.

    When I read all this I thought I was reading about organic sulfur crystals. So, delving further, I learned that coconut oil is sulfur based. When seeing bottles of coconut oil in stores that were cool from air-conditioning, I noticed that the oil was not liquid but solid. Upon further examination, the solid oil looked like tiny crystals.

    But, being an oil and not something that would be consumed frequently in more than minute quantities, coconut oil is extremely beneficial over a long period of time as opposed to the immediate benefits of ingesting organic sulfur crystals on a regular daily basis.

    That being said, the following will put into perspective why coconut oil should be added to one's diet regimen.

    In the past, there was strong propaganda by the corn and soy oil industries against coconut oil because it was hurting their business and their profits. Their allegations were that due to coconut oil's high saturated fat content it was harmful to one's health. Yet, this oil has been used extensively in tropical countries like the Philippines, India (it is used extensively in the Ayuevedic system), Thailand, etc. for generations with no adverse side effects. Coconut oil was also very popular in the western countries like the U.S. and Canada but they succumbed to the propaganda and cut back on its use only until the early 2000s when the propaganda was questioned and seriously looked into. What they discovered brought back coconut oils' popularity.

    The benefits of coconut oil is due to the presence of lauric, capric, and caprylic acids in it and the antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial properties inherent within the oil. Our bodies convert the lauric acid into monolaurin, which fights the viruses and bacteria associated with herpes, flu, HIV, listeria, and giardia.

    Despite coconut oil being more than 90 percent saturated fat, most of which are medium chain triglycerides, the lauric acid is the chief contributor to its assimilation. It also is rich in linoleic acid, oleic acid, poly-phenols, which are responsible for its fragrance and taste, vitamin E, vitamin K, iron, and organic sulfur.

    For hair, coconut oil promotes healthy growth, keeps hair shiny, reduces protein loss, eliminates dandruff when used in head massage, provides essential proteins for nourishing damaged hair, is an excellent conditioner, helps in the re-growth of damaged hair, and helps in keeping the hair free from ukus (Hawaiian for lice and bugs). It is applied topically after bathing.

    For skin, it is a great moisturizer, prevents skin dryness, flaking, delays wrinkles and sagging, helps in treating psoriasis, eczema, and other skin infections. As such, coconut oil is the foundation of body care products like soaps, lotions, creams, etc.

    For heart disease, despite its high saturated fat content, the lauric acid helps in preventing heart problems including high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Unlike other vegetable oils, the saturated fats in coconut oil are not harmful and does not increase LDL (bad cholesterol) levels) and in reducing injuries in the arteries is effective in preventing atherosclerosis.

    For weight loss, the short and medium-chain fatty acids help if taking off excessive weight. It is easily digested, promotes healthy functioning of the thyroid gland, increases body metabolism by reducing stress on the pancreas, and burns more energy, which equates to weight loss.

    For digestion, its internal use is as a cooking oil. It improves the digestive system, prevents various digestive related problems including irritable bowel syndrome, the saturated fats, with their anti-microbial properties, help in dealing with bacteria, fungi, and parasites that cause indigestion, and it helps in the absorption of other nutrients like vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

    For the immune system, the anti-microbial fats, lauric, capric, and caprylic acids, through their antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, strengthen the immune system. The lauric acid, which is converted into monolaurin helps in dealing with viruses and bacteria that cause herpes, the flu, HIV, and giardia.

    For healing infections, coconut oil protects the infected part of the body by forming a protective covering preventing the entry from dust, air, fungi, bacteria, and virus. For bruises, it speeds up the healing process by repairing the damaged tissue. According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut oil kills viruses that cause the flu, measles, hepatitis, herpes, SARS, etc., and kills the bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea, Candida, ringworm, athlete's foot, thrush, diaper rash, etc. For bruises and infections it is used externally.

    But wait, there's more. Coconut oil reduces the work load on the liver and prevents the accumulation of fat; it helps dissolve kidney stones; it is useful in treating pancreatitis; helps with mental fatigue by massaging the head with it; it is effective in utilizing blood sugar thereby preventing and treating diabetes; because it facilitates the body's absorption of calcium it strengthens the teeth and stops decay.

    Because coconut oil contains lesser calories than other oils, its fat is easily converted into energy, does not lead to an accumulation of fat in the heart and arteries, boosts energy and endurance, and enhances athletic performance.

    If the oil is in its solid form and you want to use it topically, just melt it down to its liquid form. You can do this by putting some in a small bowel and putting it in the sun, or by putting the bottle in warm water, or heating some in a container over a low heat. Under no circumstances use a microwave! A microwave will change the molecular composition, as it does with food, and makes it into something that the body has no idea of what it is consuming. Is this euphemistically saying to throw out your microwave? YES!! If you don't really care about your health, keep it.

    Oh yeah, the reason it's so great for cooking is because of its high heat tolerance. Because of this, and unlike other vegetable oils, it will not become rancid from high heat.

    If you reflect upon coconut oil's incredible health benefits, it's like reading the benefits of the organic sulfur crystals. Using both on a daily basis will change your health forever.The two together are as effective as Batman and Robin. Imagine!

    Aloha!

    About the author:
    I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk". In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore. Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition to espousing an organic vegan diet for optimum health, I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big Pharma, Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks. After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 4 years later, 18 cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, astigmatism, gum disease, increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines and so much more. And it's only possible because of the oxygen it releases that floods the cells of the body. The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids. You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com - Products and Services. There is also an organic, 70%, cold processed dark chocolate out there that contains sulfur based zeolite, which removes radiation and heavy metals. You can find out more by reading the article "A Dark Chocolate To Die For" on my website under Articles, or by going to www.mywaiora.com/701848. I am 73. I have been a vegetarian since 1975 years and a vegan since 1990. I have no illnesses and take no meds. I play basketball 2 hours a week, am in 2 softball leagues, racewalk, body surf, do stand-up paddling, do weight workouts and teach women's self defense classes based upon 25 years of Wing Chun training. My firm belief - if it had a face and a mother or if man made it, don't eat it. Aloha!

    More on coconut oil

    Coconut oil has been a dietary and beauty staple for millennia. It’s a powerful destroyer of all kinds of microbes, from viruses to bacteria to protozoa, many of which can be harmful, and provides your body with high-quality fat that is critical for optimal health.

    Around 50 percent of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid, which is rarely found in nature. In fact, coconut oil contains the most lauric acid of any substance on Earth.

    Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, a monoglyceride that can actually destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV and herpes, influenza, measles, gram-negative bacteria, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia.

    This is undoubtedly part of what makes it so medicinally useful—both when taken internally and applied externally.

    Coconut oil is comprised of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that are easily digested and readily cross cell membranes. MCFAs are immediately converted by your liver into energy rather than being stored as fat. This is in part why I recommend coconut oil as an ideal replacement for non-vegetable carbohydrates.

    Coconut oil is easy on your digestive system and does not produce an insulin spike in your bloodstream, so for a quick energy boost, you could simply eat a spoonful of coconut oil, or add it to your food. In the video above, I also share my recipe for a scrumptious yet healthful chocolate treat, courtesy of the healthy fat from coconut oil.

    To get more coconut oil into your diet, you can add it to your tea or coffee, in lieu of a sweetener. It will also help improve absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, so taking a spoonful of coconut oil along with your daily vitamins may help boost their effectiveness.

    Coconut oil is ideal for all sorts of cooking and baking, as it can withstand higher temperatures without being damaged like many other oils (olive oil, for example, should not be used for cooking for this reason).

    Furthermore, coconut oil does not go rancid, which is a huge boon when you’re making homemade concoctions. Coconut oil that has been kept at room temperature for a year has been tested for rancidity, and showed no evidence of it. Since you would expect the small percentage of unsaturated oils naturally contained in coconut oil to become rancid, it seems that the other (saturated) oils have a powerful antioxidant effect.

    General Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

    In all, coconut oil offers a truly impressive array of health benefits when included in your daily diet. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, coconut oil is beneficial for:

    Promoting heart health

    Supporting proper thyroid function

    Promoting healthy brain function

    Strengthening your immune system

    Providing an excellent “fuel” for your body and supporting a strong metabolism that can aid in weight loss

    Maintaining healthy and youthful looking skin

    While coconut oil is an ideal food for fostering health and beauty from the inside out, it also has a staggering number of other uses, from topical beauty applications to first aid treatments, to general household cleaning.,  Once you’re done reading through this article, you’ll probably be inspired to stock up for all eventualities!

    Coconut Oil Can Replace Dozens of Beauty and Personal Care Products

    One of the best personal care products you’ll ever find may be sitting in your kitchen cupboard right now. The video above, featuring HolisticHabits blogger and coconut oil aficionado Sarah, recounts many of its beauty uses. The second video includes a recipe making your own coconut oil-based deodorant. A previous article by Delicious Obsessions also lists no less than 122 creative uses for this household staple, including 21 DIY coconut oil skin care recipes. For example, coconut oil can be used to replace the following personal care and beauty products.

    Makeup remover: Swipe on with a moist cotton ball. Wipe off with clean cotton ball or wet washcloth.

    Facial cleanser: Massage a dollop of coconut oil onto face and neck. Wash off with wet washcloth and pat dry.

    Body scrub: Mix equal parts coconut oil with organic cane sugar in a glass jar. Use the scrub on dry skin prior to your shower or bath.

    Facial scrub: Instead of sugar, mix coconut oil with baking soda, or oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon, for a gentle facial scrub.

    Shaving lotion: Apply a thin layer of coconut oil on area to be shaved, and shave as usual. The lauric acid in the coconut oil will also serve as an antiseptic for cuts that result from shaving.

    Face and body moisturizer: You can use it either by itself, or add your favorite essential oil. (Make sure you’re using a high quality essential oil that is safe for topical application.) The featured article also suggests whipping the coconut oil with an electric mixer to produce a fluffy moisturizer that stays soft and spreadable even in cooler temperatures.When applied topically, coconut oil helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to keep your connective tissues strong and supple, and aids in exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, making your skin smoother.

    Eye cream: Apply a thin layer of coconut oil around your eyes to soften wrinkles and counteract thinning, sagging skin.

    Cuticle cream: Simply rub a small amount of coconut oil around your cuticles to soften dry areas.

    Deodorant: Applying a small amount of coconut oil directly onto your armpits can help keep odors at bay, courtesy of the oil’s antibacterial properties. If you prefer, you can add a small amount of baking soda, or make a homemade deodorant using coconut oil, baking soda and arrow root powder. For directions, see the second video above.DeliciousObsessions.com also lists additional deodorant recipes using coconut oil as the base.

    Bath soak: Adding coconut oil to your bath can help moisturize dry itchy skin (Make sure to scrub your tub afterward to prevent slipping!). Make sure the water is warmer than 76 degrees Fahrenheit though, otherwise the oil will turn to a solid.

    Soap: Coconut oil is one of the base ingredients in many homemade soap recipes, such as this one by NourishingJoy.com

    Lip balm: You can either apply a small amount of coconut oil, as is, or make your own lip balm using coconut oil as one of the base ingredients. You can find all sorts of recipes online, but here’s one by The Liberated Kitchen.

    Toothpaste: Mixed with baking soda, coconut oil can replace your regular toothpaste. The baking soda will gently cleanse while the coconut oil’s antibacterial action may help keep harmful bacteria in check. For recipes using essential oils to spruce up your toothpaste, see DeliciousObsessions.com.

    Insect repellent: Mixing coconut oil with high-quality essential oils may help keep biting insects at bay when applied to exposed skin. Effective choices include: peppermint, lemon balm, rosemary, tea tree oil, neem, citronella (Java Citronella), geraniol, catnip oil (according to one study, catnip oil is 10 times more effective than DEET), and/or clear vanilla extract

    Hair’s Best Friend

    Coconut oil is also known for its hair benefits. Most women seem to prefer using it as a pre-shampoo conditioner. Simply massage the coconut oil onto dry hair and leave on for about an hour or longer. You could even leave it on overnight. Just wear a shower cap to protect your pillow. Then, wash and style as usual.

    When applied in this manner, the coconut oil inhibits the penetration of water into the hair strands, which would otherwise cause the cuticle, or surface of the hair shaft, to rise, making it prone to damage and breakage. Furthermore, when applied as a pre-wash treatment, a small amount of the coconut oil is able to penetrate deeper into the hair shaft during the wash, when the hair fiber swells slightly.

    This can also explain why so many rave about the oil’s ability to prevent “the frizzies” in humid weather—this is another feature of its hydrophobic activity. More porous types of hair may find coconut oil particularly beneficial, such as African and chemically treated hair, as well as those suffering with any type of scalp problems, including dandruff.

    Oral Health Benefits

    As mentioned above, coconut oil mixed with baking soda makes for very simple and inexpensive, yet effective, toothpaste. It’s also a great alternative if you want a fluoride-free toothpaste but don’t want to spend the extra money, since they tend to cost more than most regular, fluoridated toothpaste brands.

    Another oral health technique where I believe coconut oil can be quite beneficial is oil pulling. This technique has significantly reduced my plaque buildup, allowing me to go longer between visits to the dental hygienist. (Adding fermented vegetables to my diet has been another game-changer in my oral health.)

    Oil pulling is a practice dating back thousands of years, having originated with Ayurvedic medicine. When oil pulling is combined with the antimicrobial power of coconut oil, I believe it can be a very powerful health tool. Sesame oil is traditionally recommended, but it has relatively high concentration of omega-6 oils. Therefore, I believe coconut oil is far superior, and, in my mind, it tastes better. But from a mechanical and biophysical perspective, it is likely that both work.

    Oil pulling involves rinsing your mouth with the oil, much like you would with a mouthwash. The oil is “worked” around your mouth by pushing, pulling, and drawing it through your teeth for a period of 15 minutes. If you are obsessive like me and want even better results, you can go for 30-45 minutes. This process allows the oil to “pull out” bacteria, viruses, fungi and other debris. The best time is in the morning before eating breakfast, but it can be done at any time. I try to do it twice a day if my schedule allows. When done, spit out the oil and rinse your mouth with water. Avoid swallowing the oil as it will be loaded with bacteria and whatever potential toxins and debris it has pulled out.

    When done correctly, oil pulling has a significant cleansing, detoxifying and healing affect, not only for your mouth and sinuses but for the rest of your body as well. Candida and Streptococcus are common residents in your mouth, and these germs and their toxic waste products can contribute to plaque accumulation and tooth decay, in addition to secondary infections and chronic inflammation throughout your body. Oil pulling may help lessen the overall toxic burden on your immune system by preventing the spread of these organisms from your mouth to the rest of your body, by way of your bloodstream.

    Coconut Oil to the Rescue

    Besides its usefulness in the kitchen and bathroom, coconut oil deserves a place in your medicine cabinet as well—again courtesy of its antimicrobial and anti-viral activity. For example, coconut oil may be helpful in the treatment of:

    Ear infections: Place a couple of drops into each ear canal. If the coconut oil has solidified, you can easily liquefy it by placing a small amount in a shot glass or other small container and placing it into a cup of hot water

    Skin rashes and irritations, including chicken pox and shingles: Simply apply a small amount to the affected area

    Fungal and/or yeast infections, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm. For fungal infections, you can mix in a small amount of oregano oil or tea tree oil

    Bug bites and bee stings

    Cold sores: mix in a small amount of oregano oil, and apply at the first signs

    Frequent nosebleeds may be improved by regularly applying a small amount to the inside of your nostrils

    Thrush

    Hemorrhoids and piles: You may add a small amount of lavender essential oil for added healing power

    Vaginal dryness

    Perineal massage: Expectant mothers can use it to massage the perineum daily, starting about a month or so before your due date, to help reduce your chances of tearing and/or the need for an episiotomy

    Coconut Oil—More Effective Than Permethrin for Head Lice

    According to research published in the European Journal of Pediatrics, a combination of coconut oil and anise was found to be nearly twice as effective as the commonly prescribed permethrin lotion for the treatment of head lice. According to the authors:

    “We designed a randomized, controlled, parallel group trial involving 100 participants with active head louse infestation to investigate the activity of a coconut and anise spray and to see whether permethrin lotion is still effective, using two applications of product 9 days apart. The spray was significantly more successful (41/50, 82.0%) cures compared with permethrin (21/50, 42.0%…). Per-protocol success was 83.3% and 44.7%, respectively. Thirty-three people reported irritant reactions following alcohol contact with excoriated skin. We concluded that, although permethrin lotion is still effective for some people, the coconut and anise spray can be a significantly more effective alternative treatment.”[Emphasis mine]

    Isn’t it wonderful to see how nature provides us with so many effective solutions to so many of our ills? And does so in a way that is oftentimes more effective than our chemical drug concoctions! Another anecdotal Hawaiian head lice treatment is to first soak your hair in vinegar and leave it in to dry (don’t rinse). Next, coat your hair with coconut oil over night. I’d recommend sleeping with a shower cap to protect your bedding. The following day, the nits reportedly comb out easily.

    14 Surprising Uses for Coconut Oil Around the House

    Last but not least, coconut oil can be used for a number of household tasks otherwise relegated to more costly, and potentially toxic, alternatives. Following are 14 creative yet practical uses for this fantastic oil:

    1. Clean, condition and sanitize your wooden cutting board. Use whenever the wood starts to look dry.

    2. Use when making compost tea for your garden to reduce foam.

    3. Use as a metal polish. Make sure to test a small area first.

    4. Moisturize and soften leather goods as you would using other leather conditioners.

    5. Season your cast iron pots and pans using coconut oil in lieu of lard or corn oil.

    6. Lubricate squeaky hinges and sticky mechanisms with coconut oil instead of WD-40.

    7. Clean and condition wooden furniture in lieu of furniture polish. Make sure to test a small area first.

    8. Lubricate your guitar strings.

    9. Clean soap scum from your shower using a small dollop of coconut oil on a damp cloth. Spray the area with white vinegar and wipe dry with a lint-free cloth.

    10. Clean your hands and paint brushes with coconut oil after using oil-based paints, in lieu of mineral spirits.

    11. Clean and condition the inside of your car by adding a small amount to a soft lint-free cloth. Rub in and wipe off excess.

    13. Cleanse and add a glossy finish to indoor plants by wiping the leaves with a small amount of coconut oil on a lint-free cloth.

    14. Remove chewing gum from virtually any area, including carpets and hair.

    9 Super-Healthy Coconut Concoctions -- The Most Versatile Seed on the Planet
     by TheAlternativeDaily.com

     

    A member of the palm family, the coconut tree grows in a wide range of locations along the Equator. Researchers believe that this tree first grew in Southeast Asia, where coconuts were described by Marco Polo as the “Indian Nuts” of Sumatra and India.

    Because the coconut is so valuable and versatile, it is thought that man himself transported it to many equatorial regions of the world to share its goodness. The coconut is actually a seed – one of the largest seeds in the whole plant world. When it is ripe, the coconut falls from the tree and sprouting begins.

    Lucky for us, we can enjoy all of the life-promoting goodness found inside of this seed, including the water, meat, milk and oil.

    On its own, the properties of the coconut are outstanding, but when combined with other ingredients, the potency is off the chart. Here are nine such combinations that are well worth considering.

    Coconut water

    Known endearingly as the “fluid of life,” coconut water is the nutrient and mineral rich sap that is found within a coconut. The water is protected by the tough outer shell of the nut and is kept sterile and free from fungus, parasites and bacteria.

    Rich in natural vitamins, coconut water also contains minerals and trace elements including selenium, iodine, sulfur, zinc, manganese, organic acids, enzymes, phytonutrients and amino acids. It is relatively low in calories and sugar (compared to soft drinks), yet sweet tasting and refreshing.

    Fact: During WWII, the Vietnam War and the Nigerian Civil War, when intravenous solutions ran in short supply, injured soldiers were given coconut water. A person can safely be given up to one-quarter to one-third of their body weight in coconut water intravenously (Recio, P. M. “The Intravenous Use of Coconut Water.” Phillip J Pediatric: 1974; 30 (30).) Because of its sterility and composition, coconut water can safely be injected directly into the bloodstream without fear of damaging blood cells or inciting an allergic reaction.
     

    Powerful coconut water combinations
     

    Coconut water and melon drink: One of the best benefits of coconut water is that it is extremely high in potassium. As your body sweats during exercise or vigorous physical activity, your level of potassium drops. According to Nutrition-and-You, coconut water has approximately 250mg of potassium in every 100ml of water. According to Liz Applegate, Director of Sports Nutrition at the University of California, Davis, coconut water is great for replacing potassium if you are doing short workouts.

    To superboost this workout drink to include mega amounts of vitamin C, combine pure coconut water with the juice of fresh muskmelon:

    Ingredients

    2 cups frozen cubed muskmelon
    2 cups organic coconut water
    Pinch of sea salt

    Add all ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth.
     

    Coconut water and tea tree oil face wash: The cytokines in coconut water have an anti-aging impact on human cells and tissues. Human cells, as they age, go through progressive and irreversible changes until they finally die.

    Compared to young, plump, smooth and round young cells, old cells are irregular in shape, flat and full of debris. With age, the division of cells slows down and eventually stops.

    Cytokines cause cells to act younger than their age so less degeneration occurs (Rattan, S.I.S. and Clark, B.F.C. “Kinetin delays the onset of ageing characteristics in human fibroblasts.” Biochem Biophys Res 1994;201:665-672).

    Tea tree oil is known for its bacteria-fighting and anti-inflammatory properties. To make an age defying, bacteria-busting facial cleanser, simply mix a half cup of organic coconut water with a two drops of tea tree essential oil. Dab the solution on your face and neck using a clean cotton pad, rinse with cool water and pat dry.
     

    Coconut water and kefir: Coconut kefir made with water kefir grains is soothing to the digestive system, supports healthy liver function and feeds your immune system by boosting your probiotic colonies.

    The fermented water encourages hydration while re-colonizing the gut and mucous membranes with healthy strains of beneficial bacteria. Kefir is also rich in beneficial yeasts that search out and attack pathogenic yeasts such as candida.

    These yeasts help to strengthen the walls of the intestines and build up resistance to other dangerous pathogens such as E. coli, intestinal parasites and salmonella.
     

    Making your own coconut kefir water

    You will pay quite a bit at a whole food store for a container of coconut kefir water. Save money by making your own – it’s simple. This kefir water is berry-flavored and tastes great on its own or as a smoothie base.

    Ingredients

    Glass mason jar with lid
    Piece of cheesecloth
    Plastic strainer
    Plastic measuring spoons
    1 quart organic coconut water
    3 tablespoons water kefir grains (aka, kefir cultures)
    1 cup fresh berries

    Instructions

    1. Place the water kefir grains in the coconut water.
    2. Cover the jar with cheesecloth so that grains can breathe – allow the kefir grains to culture the coconut water for 24 to 48 hours, out of direct sunlight.
    3. Once the culturing process is complete, remove the kefir grains using a strainer.
    4. Puree the fresh fruit and coconut water to add fabulous flavor.
    5. To refresh kefir grains, add them to a quart of water with a ¼ cup of coconut sugar. Let this sit for about 48 hours so that the sugar water has time to feed the grains.

    Note: Never use metal utensils when dealing with live cultures.
     

    Coconut meat

    Coconut meat is the super-rich lining found inside the shell of a coconut. This juicy meat contains vitamins A and E, as well as polyphenols and phytosterols which work together to lower dangerous levels of LDL cholesterol. Interestingly, coconut meat is a staple food of the the Kitavans of Papua New Guinea and the Tokelaus of New Zealand – populations that have no incidence of stroke and heart disease.

    In addition, coconut meat contains high amounts of potassium, copper and manganese. In fact, one cup of coconut meat provides almost 70 percent of the daily recommended amount of manganese for women, and 52 percent for men.

    Manganese helps to break down proteins and fats and is essential in supporting a healthy immune and nervous system. It is also important for blood sugar regulation.
     

    Beans and coconut meat: Whether you choose navy, pinto, lima or turtle beans (to name just a few), these little legumes pack a huge nutritional punch to start your day. Not only are beans high in both protein and fiber, giving your body optimal fuel to get through the busiest of days, they are also rich in B-vitamins, as well as important minerals including copper, iron, folate, magnesium, manganese and phosphorus.

    The fiber found in beans works for keeping blood sugar levels stable. This is one reason that a diet rich in beans has been linked to a decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Beans are also extremely heart-healthy, and have been associated with a lowered risk of heart disease, along with a lower risk of having a heart attack. Beans can do great things for the digestive system, and regular consumption is linked to a lower risk of colorectal cancer.

    As they keep you feeling full and fueled with energy, they can also both help to prevent excess weight from piling on, and help you lose extra weight when combined with other whole, nutritious foods. For a health-promoting meal, simply cook up a serving of your favorite beans and top with a generous amount of fresh, organic coconut meat.
     

    Coconut milk

    Coconut milk, like coconut oil, is high in saturated fat; however, it is a healthy saturated fat that the body easily breaks down and uses for energy and other bodily functions. This lactose-free, creamy milk contains antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties that boost the immune system.

    Recent research also shows that populations that consume coconut milk have low rates of heart disease. The milk, which is extracted from the coconut flesh, contains iron, selenium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, protein, potassium and vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6.
     

    Making your own coconut milk

    Making your own coconut milk is a great way to ensure that you get all the goodness with none of the dangers of commercially processed milk. The very first rule of making great homemade coconut milk is to select a ripe coconut. You can tell if the coconut is ripe by holding it up to your ear and shaking it very gently. If you hear a swishing sound, the coconut is just ripe enough.

    Ingredients

    2 brown coconuts
    4 cups of filtered hot water

    Instructions

    1. Use a sharp knife to pierce the eyes of the coconut and drain the water into a bowl.
    2. Split the coconuts using a rolling pin or a hammer.
    3. Pry the coconut flesh from the husk using a sharp knife. Peel off brown bits of skin that may stick to the meat.
    4. Place the coconut flesh and the water into a blender.
    5. Add 4 cups of water.
    6. Blend until the milk is smooth.
    7. Strain the mixture through a nut bag or muslin cloth into a mason jar.
    8. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can and store the milk in the fridge.
       

    Powerful coconut milk combinations

    Berries and coconut milk: There is a growing body of research supporting the benefits of consuming berry fruits to longevity and health. Well-known for their powerful antioxidant capabilities, berries have been found to have direct impacts on the brain. Eating berries may help to prevent age-related neurodegeneration and motor function, according to a 2012 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

    Both animal studies and human trials demonstrate a strong link between berry consumption, reduced inflammation and improved cognitive function. Here is a delicious coconut berry smoothie recipe that the whole family will enjoy.

    Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

    Ingredients:

    1 cup of fresh coconut milk
    1/2 cup frozen organic strawberries
    Optional:  a good quality protein powder (this one is my new favorite!)
     

    Place the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and serve. Delicious!
     

    Coconut milk and raw honey: Honey is a natural humectant, which means that it keeps things moist, and also attracts moisture. It is also loaded with nutrients and antioxidants.

    The recipe below is for a raw honey and coconut milk hair rinse that will leave your hair follicles happy and your hair luxuriously soft. The coconut milk acts as a medium to help spread the honey, and adds its own healthy natural oils and healing properties to your hair.
     

    Coconut Milk Hair Rinse

    ¼ cup of organic raw honey
    Enough coconut milk to mix it together

    Apply as you would shampoo, to damp hair, and rinse. Repeat as often as necessary to keep your hair moist and conditioned.
     

    Coconut oil

    Volumes of research continue to stack up in favor of the astounding health benefits of coconut oil. Although coconut oil is about 90 percent saturated fat, it is good for the body. It contains about 50 percent lauric acid, which helps to prevent high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol ratios.

    The short and medium-chain fatty acids regulate thyroid and enzyme function and help with weight reduction. Coconut oil improves metabolism and takes stress off of the pancreas. This tropical wonder improves digestion and increases the absorption of vitamins, amino acids and minerals.

    Just the shortlist of the health-promoting benefits of coconut oil includes its potent antifungal, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. It has also been found that this tropical wonder can help to stabilize blood sugar levels, prevent heart disease and protect the brain from neurological disorders.
     

    Powerful coconut oil combinations

    Coconut crystals and coconut oil: Nature has provided the perfect alternative for healthy and vital skin: pure, extra virgin coconut oil. Organic coconut oil has been used for thousands of years medicinally, and is clearly a better option than any petroleum-based commercial product.

    Coconut oil helps to clear away dead skin cells and can also be combined with coconut crystals, sea salt or other natural exfoliating substances to make a very useful facial scrub that leaves the skin feeling soft and clean.

    No need to spend money on special products when you can use coconut oil. A simple scrub can be made by mixing one cup of coconut crystals with 1/2 cup of organic coconut oil. Rub in a light circular motion over your face, rinse and pat dry with a clean cotton cloth. The healing properties of coconut oil will leave your skin smooth, refreshed and healthy.

    Latte art coffee over wooden background Organic coffee and coconut oil: Replacing processed fake coffee creamers with organic coconut oil is a smart move. Although it may sound strange, the result is actually quite delicious and highly nutritious. The combination of caffeine and saturated fat gives the body a great and lasting energy boost.

    The best way to prepare a tropical twisted coffee drink is to brew a high quality organic cup of coffee and place it in a blender. Add in one tablespoon of organic coconut oil, blend (VERY carefully on low speed to avoid hot coffee splashing out the top of blender) and enjoy. The resulting coffee drink is frothy and rich, with a wonderfully smooth taste that is very satisfying. If you like your coffee sweetened, add one teaspoon of organic coconut crystals. (This is extremely delicious btw, almost like a frothy cappucino, but even healthier)

    Adding coconut oil to your coffee is a great way to supercharge and give your body a burst of energy to make it through the day.

    And… it gets better. Coconut oil has also been proven in several studies to help remove stubborn belly fat from your body!

    Researchers reveal the wonders of Coconut Oil – “Mother Nature’s 100% natural COAT OF ARMOR” – that HEALS, BEAUTIFIES, and RESTORES Your Body From Head to Toe!

    (PLUS the ONE fat you should avoid like the plague!)

    Forget everything you know about saturated fats.

    For years, doctors urged us to stay far away from them. Eat them, they warned, and you’ll end up with heart disease...have a 400% greater risk of a heart attack...gain tons of weight, and inflame your body so much that you’d be at risk for all kinds of deadly illnesses.

    There was just one problem...

    It’s NOT true.  

    In fact, new research proves just the opposite: that saturated fats are HARMLESS...

    But even more shocking is that there’s ONE saturated fat that’s so good for you, it can help:

    Prevent heart disease
    Lower LDL (bad) cholesterol & raise HDL (good) cholesterol
    Fight bacterial infections
    Boost your thyroid so you beat fatigue, weight gain, and depression
    Burn belly fat & stop food cravings
    Improve brain function
    Zap wrinkles
    And much more!
    So what is it?  Well, it’s not trans fat.  Hidden inside junk food, white bread, pasta, trans fat is a fat has been banned in some states.

    It raises the inflammation levels in your body to deadly heights. Toxins flow in and disrupt your organs.  You get sick and end up in the hospital.  You can even die.  But there is another kind of fat that’s rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber – the essential building blocks for perfect health.

    It’s Coconut Oil and it comes from a tree often referred to as the
    “Tree of Life.”

    In the Philippines, Japan, and South American, coconut oil has been enjoyed for centuries. In addition to its great taste, they trusted it to wards off disease, and heal their bodies. 

    It was so valuable that it was even used as a form of Currency for trading!

    An amazing superfood!

    Coconut oil is so healthy, it’s now classified as a ‘superfood.’ That’s because it has a unique combination of fatty acids that have profound positive effects on your health. And it includes better cardiovascular and brain function, fat loss, and powerful healing properties you won’t find in anywhere else.
    The weird thing is, coconut oil was actually widely used in the 1930s to help wipe out:
    Digestive problems
    Toothaches
    Earaches
    Skin infections
    Flu
    But all that changed when the ‘saturated fat” panic took over. In the blink of an eye, we turned away from saturated fat to hydrogenated oils because they were supposed to be ‘healthier’. 

    Now we know they’re not. You only have to look to the many millions of Americans who have come down with heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and digestion problems to see their deadly effect.
    Instead of doing their research, Big Pharma responded by developing powerful pills like statins – cholesterol lowing drugs – that line their pockets, but do little to prevent heart disease.

    In fact, they are so deadly, they have to issue warnings that their use can kill you!  Fortunately, there’s a simple all-natural remedy that can make you stronger and healthier... and even save your life.
