Coconut
Oil
Coconut Oil is another healthy
saturated fat that contains many beneficial properties. The fat in coconut oil
is easily digested and absorbed, unlike the man-made fats or oils that act just
like plastic in the body. It puts very little strain on the digestive system
and provides a quick source of energy necessary to promote healing.
Buy a good quality coconut oil that
is:
- Unrefined.
- Unbleached.
- Undeodorized.
Coconut oil is highly resistant to
spoilage and has a long shelf life (2 years at room temperature), so it is not
kept refrigerated. It is kept in the cupboard or on the kitchen counter.
Like other saturated fats coconut
oil goes solid when cooled below room temperature, and in warm weather it will
be totally liquid.
Coconut oil has a high burning point
making it perfect for cooking. It can be used alone, or mixed with butter, lard
or other good fats for cooking and frying.
Coconut oil can be taken by the
spoonfuls with meals to aid digestion or melted on cooked foods. The
recommended therapeutic dose for anyone who is unhealthy is 5-6 tablespoons per
day, taken in divided doses preferably with meals that contain protein.
Since coconut oil is antifungal,
antiparasitic, antibacterial and antiviral, etc. it will create die-off or
healing reactions in people who are unhealthy, but it will be particularly
pronounced in candida sufferers and in people who have viruses and bacteria. The most common healing reactions
are nausea or stomach upset, and diarrhea. This is because coconut oil kills
bacteria, yeasts, viruses and parasites in the digestive system and it cleans
out toxins.
Diarrhea is the body's way of
getting rid of unwanted guests and toxins. Other healing reactions may include
increased mucus in the intestines, nose, sinuses, lungs, as well as rashes and
other skin eruptions.
To minimize healing reactions or
die-off symptoms start taking coconut oil at a low dose (1/2 to 1 teaspoon 3
times a day) and gradually increase the amount every 4-5 days until the maximum
therapeutic dose of 5-6 tablespoons per day is reached.
It is also important to take coconut oil in
divided doses during the day and not all at once. Healthy people can take a
maintenance dose of coconut oil which is 3 tablespoons per day.Coconut Oil Health Benefits
What are some of the health benefits of coconut oil being reported? Some of the most recent research has come from people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, with reports of people improving or even reversing the effects of Alzheimer’s by using coconut oil, as drug trials on Alzheimer’s drugs continue to fail. Alzheimer’s is now seen as a type 3 form of diabetes, and for years we have seen positive results from people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in using coconut oil. We have also seen a lot of reports of coconut oil health benefits from those suffering from hypothryroidism, as coconut oil helps boost metabolism and raise body temperatures to promote thyroid health. Restricting carbohydrates and increasing coconut oil in the diet has also led many to report losing weight with coconut oil. Candida sufferers also report health benefits with coconut oil as research now confirms, and those suffering from various skin diseases are also seeing tremendous health benefits by applying coconut oil directly on the skin. The benefits of coconut oil for healthy hair are also well known, and other healthy benefits of coconut oil included fighting off bacterial infections and viruses. Coconut oil is also increasingly being seen to benefit athletes and fitness trainers giving them an advantage in sustaining energy levels longer without drugs or stimulantsWhile some people falsely accuse coconut oil of being a “fad,” the fact is that it is a traditional oil that has been consumed for thousands of years in tropical cultures, and the research on the health benefits of coconut oil has existed for a very long time. Lauric acid, for example, has a long history of use in combating pathogens, and this research has been around for more than 50 years. Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of lauric acid.
