There are so many pros and cons on coconut oil. Most say it is not heart

healthy and some say go for it. It has me totally confused. My cholesterol

is high to begin with so I'm a little leery of using it. So which is it

good or bad?? I have read articles like the one above before and do have

orgainc coconut oil in my cabinet...unopened. Does it interfere with your

cholesterol?

Peace and love

Bonnie

I have been using ev coconut oil for about a year now.

My cholesterol level has not changed since I used it.

I can say it has helped my thryoid but not to the level I would like

it to. Everyone is different. Maybe I should increase the level . I

do notice that I am not as hungry while using it.

Maybe while on it one should check their levels often to see

if it is ok to use the oil.

Most people that I have talked to don't have any trouble with this

oil . But that is the extra virgin oil.

Roberto if you read up on the adverse effects of the statin drugs you may

get a different view on cholesterol.

Coconut oil is an excellent oil.? Yes, it is saturated fat but that is what our

brain needs.? It also has medium chain fatty acids which are easy to digest.? We

need good fats in our diet.?? Mary Enig, Ph.D. spent her entire scientific

career studying fats and she?recommends it highly.? ?Recently I made her recipe

for mashed potatoes using coconut milk instead of dairy.? The recipe included

butter and coconut oil.? Very tasty.? If you do a Google search for her, you

will learn the truth about fats and not propaganda from the commercial

interests.?? Katy

Village culture teaches everything from experience and passing on facts

from one generation to next.

 

When turmeric, honey etc were not at hand for wound dressing, author

witnessed use of a cloth dipped in coconut oil, applied as plaster band

on wound and it would heal. The same oil was used by uncle to make an

ointment for healing burns. The words such as anti-microbial, anti-

fungal etc were learnt 20 years later!

Jane:

That is a good point.

Everyone is different. What works great for several people may not work  for

certain individuals.

One should always start out using new things judiciously; However this is a

natural type oil that we are talking about. There is a fine line here. So one

should probably best watch for awhile and see

their cholesterol numbers after they get their lab results back.

If it goes up too high after taking in this oil then one can deduce that it may

be the oil. Same with blood pressure and diabetes meds.

 

All good things,

i use coconut oil. dr bhate pointed out about the use of coconut oil

is applicable for wounds as well which i would concur as ghee is also

used for wounds with amazing results. both are anti-pitta in nature so

they will reduce heat and swelling etc. there is no doubt in my mind

that coconut oil not only stimulates the metabolism but in what degree

that has to be verified. professional models use coconut oil in their

hair. i personally use it in my grooming as a hair gel. the wonderful

thing about coconut oil is its density. it is much lighter than olive

oil and at the same time it can be easily rinsed off. the oil has the

amazing ability to be very light. that is why i recommend using it as

a hair conditioner or hair gel as a matter of fact. it will also

nuture your hair wonderfully.

 

sincerely,

I am taking 80mg. of lipitor up from 40mg, plus I move around for 7 to 8

hours a day for my job, which brought it down from 240 to 173. Prior to

taking the medication it was 327 so you can understand my hesitancy to put

more fat into my diet. Especially one that is surrounded by controversy.

Peace and love

Jane, I have been taking it for years and so far so good. I experience no

adverse side effects and have blood work done periodically to be sure of

this. Both mum and dad had high cholesterol, so I guess I'm a victim of

circumstance.

Peace and love
