Guest guest Report post Posted January 24, 2001 --I didn't see it in the files either- will look tomorrow didn't have the time tonight- had this in my files. This is an exsert from a book jacket- June - THE HEALING MIRACLES OF COCONUT OIL by Bruce Fife, N.D. If there was an oil you could use for your daily cooking needs that helped protect you from heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative conditions, improved your digestion, strengthened your immune system, and helped you lose excess weight, would you be interested? No such oil exists you say? Not so! There is an oil that can do all this and more. No, it's not olive oil, it's not canola oil, or safflower oil or any of the oils commonly used for culinary puposes. It's not flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, or any of the oils sold as dietary supplements. It's not rare or exotic. It's ordinary coconout oil. But wait, isn't coconut oil a saturated fat? And isn't saturated fat bad? Because coconut oil is primarily a saturated oil, it has been blindly labeled as bad. It is lumped right along with beef tallow and lard with the assumption that they all carry the same health risks. However, researchers have clearly shown that fat from coconuts, a plant source, acts differently than the saturated fat from animal sources. The oil from the coconut is unique in nature and provides many health benefits obtainable from no other source. What coconut oil does not do: Does not contain cholesterol Does not increase blood cholesterol level Does not promote platelet stickiness which leads to blood clot formation Does not contribute to atherosclerosis or heart disease Does not promote cancer or any other degenerative disease Does not contribute to weight problems Is not stored as body fat What coconut oil does do: Reduses risk of atherosclerosis and related illnesses Reduces risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions Helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal (including yeast) infections Supports immune system function Helps prevent osteoporosis Helps control diabetes Promotes weight loss Supports healthy metabolic function Provides an immediate source of energy Supplies fewer calories than other fats Supplies important nutrients necessary for good health Improves digestion and nutient absorption Has a mild delicate flavor Is highly resistant to spoilage (long shelf life) Is heat resistant (the healthiest oil for cooking) Helps keep skin soft and smooth Helps prevent premature aging and wrinkling of the skin Helps protect against skin cancer and other blemishes Coconut oil has been called " the healthiest dietary oil on earth " . If you're not using coconut oil for your daily cooking and body care needs you're missing out on one of nature's most amazing health products. In this book you will discover the miracles of coconut oil. Each health benefit is explained and fully documented by scientific research. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 24, 2001 Thanks for this enlightening article. We live in the tropics where there are lots of coconut and included in our diet is the coconut oil. We also use this as our carrier oil. It has changed our mind into swithcing to other oils. Now since we have coconut oil in abundace, we don't need to switch......

I already know how good coconut oil is, but I need the " usual stats " to give to a skeptical client. I assume coconut oil doesn't denature at high temps (like used for sauteeing and baking) because it's already fully saturated? Of course, I like it as a moisturizer . . . makes me smell good enough to eat ;-) Thanks, Laura THE HEALING MIRACLES OF COCONUT OIL > > by Bruce Fife, N.D. > > > If there was an oil you could use for your daily cooking needs that > helped protect you from heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative > conditions, improved your digestion, strengthened your immune system, > and helped you lose excess weight, would you be interested? > > No such oil exists you say?

I have purchased the stuff for years. My jar has printed on it quite largely, " Use for skin & hair care. " Even gives instructions for use as said. Whilst living in the Third World I learned to use coconut oil as a hair conditioner & Spectrum has been the brand I use whilst in the US. Works great! The other hair conditioning route one can use is real mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip). I find the mayonnaise much easier to wash out, though personally I like the smell & end results of the coconut oil better. Vache (some show barns use mayonnaise as a coat conditioner on horses to. takes about a gallon per horse) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted December 12, 2001 Evening Rick, >Using fish oils and virgin coconut oil i ran my good cholesterol way off scale >high while lowering overall cholesterol. Of course my doses are far >beyond what you might consider. Some of us would consider anything near, far, and even left field. Would you please give us more details, time frame, and specific numbers on the cholesterol. The brand and source of the coconut oil would be appreciated also.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 12, 2001 If it's virgin coconut oil then you should be able to use it for food. Virgin would mean that it's unrefined; refined oil is bleached or otherwise treated with chemicals. VCO has a melt temperatur of 76 degrees, below that it is thick and (creamy) white, and should have a nice aroma about it. Above that it is clear liquid.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 12, 2001 Hi Wayne I have been " loading " omega 3s for over 4 months at about 35-50 grams per day = 1 - 3 tablespoons cod liver oil, 2 tablespoons flax oil with 2 tblsp. ground flax seeds and cottage cheese and assorted fish oil/shark liver oil as well as occasional hemp seed oil. I feel positive changes taking place in my system and know the process will take many more months to place omega 3 in all the cells of the body. The process of disease is one of slowly depleting the omega 3 from each cell in the body by ingesting excess omega 6 and 9 as well as the dastardly hydrogenated oils. It takes years of squeezing out the omega 3s from the cells and when they reach a certain level = you have no controllers (omega 3s) in the cells and EVERY DISEASE out there can and will happen. If you carefully study the omega 3 - 6 scenario you should draw the conclusion that it is the CAUSE of MOST DISEASE by fact that it is THE KEY IMMUNE control for almost ALL BODY/METABOLIC functions. This makes ALL DISEASE JUST SYMPTOMS IN THEMSELVES and drugs/supplements are USELESS in that they ONLY deal with symptoms. My HDL cholesterol was 82+ on a scale of 35-70 and overall was 211. I attribute this to omega 3, coconut oil and eggs over a 2+ month period.. So far as i know there is only source of " Virgin Coconut Oil " at $50 a gal. i believe it is cheap considering the effects. http://coconut-info.com/ Rick Wayne Fugitt wrote: > Evening Rick, > Some of us would consider anything near, far, and even left field. > Would you please give us more details, time frame, and specific numbers > on the cholesterol. > The brand and source of the coconut oil would be appreciated also. > Wayne > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted December 12, 2001 Wayne, Good Evening! I am interested in the fact that you mentioned eggs are part of your regimen. Apart from the fact that eggs are high in lecithin, how do you think they played a part in elevating your HDL or good cholesterol? I too am convinced that EFAs are the only basis for good health. And you did all this within the space of one month? How amazing!

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2001 Evening Joanne, > And you did all this within the space of one month? How >amazing! Somehow you have something a little mixed up. I did not accomplish anything within a month. One of the blood reports on my website showed some great improvements over a two month period. Or.. it may have been someone else on the list. ( Rick ) >> I am interested in the fact that you mentioned eggs are part of >your regimen. Apart from the fact that eggs are high in lecithin, how >do you think they played a part in elevating your HDL or good >cholesterol? I eat eggs because I like them and I think they are the lesser of many evils. There are many reports floating around about eggs doing a good job with many problems. First, I go long periods without eating any real food other than trail mix and protein wafers. Finally I will need something that has some fat and protein in it. That is when I reach for the eggs. I eat brown eggs from yard roaming chickens most of the time. By adding lots of onion and bell pepper, I have combined 3 good foods into an energy pack that tastes delicious. I don't worry much about weight loss or weight gain. >I too am convinced that EFAs are the only basis for good >health. I take some EFA capsules and eat a lot of oily nuts. I think you got me mixed up with some of Ricks accomplishments. Wayne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 11, 2002 Hi Wayne, It may look like Crisco, but I can eat it by the spoonful! I think it's wonderful! Do you scramble eggs? Use coconut oil - a very good flavor! How about mixing coconut with a bit of butter - good on a flax seed muffin, pancakes, whatever. Do you eat hot oatmeal or a hot cereal? Put a teaspoon or 2 on it. Do you eat toast? Spread on toast or bread. I make mayonnaise with coconut oil, safflower oil, and olive oil. It is wonderful! This is great on sandwiches, or use it to make egg salad, chicken salad, whatever. With that, I make a ranch-type dressing that's out of this world. (Humble, aren't I? <g> Actually, it's not my recipe so can't even take the credit.) Mix with honey and/or peanut butter, maybe 1:1 at first, then gradually more. If you'd give us a menu for a couple of days or so, I bet we could work it in for ya! Jean > I have only had my coconut oil a day or two.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 11, 2002 Morning Jean, >It may look like Crisco, but I can eat it by the spoonful! I think it's >wonderful! I think I will agree with you, in a day or two. It takes a little time to implement the suggestions you have offered on the ways to use it. >Do you scramble eggs? Use coconut oil - a very good flavor! Yes, will give that a try soon. >Mix with honey and/or peanut butter, maybe 1:1 at first, then gradually more. Again, two of my favorite foods. >If you'd give us a menu for a couple of days or so, I bet we could work it >in for ya! You have given me enough ideas to last a day or three. Only two or three times per week do I get hungry enough to cook anything. I still think that stoves are weapons of death, unless used properly. And... I don't know much about how to use them properly. Again.... thanks a million. When are you going to publish a recipe book? or maybe you could recommend one that is already published.
