Organic Coconut Oil:
Organic coconut oil has been called the healthiest oil on earth, and the people of the Philippines
and Pacific Islands have long referred to it as “the cure for all diseases.” In the U. S., coconut oil
has been used as a key ingredient in many hospital I. V. solutions ever since medical research
discovered that it has some rather amazing healing properties, including the ability to boost
immunity, kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and increase energy and endurance. In addition, it
reduces chronic inflammation, provides arthritis pain relief, supports thyroid function, improves
insulin secretion, and relieves symptoms of prostate enlargement. Coconut oil also has the ability to
help:
Pretty impressive for something that’s easily affordable and readily available—and smells soooogood! But that’s not all. Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) and, contrary to what we’ve
heard in the past, it’s actually good for your heart. Years ago coconut oil was mistakenly thought to
be bad for you because it’s a saturated fat, but that was before doctors started to better understand
cholesterol formation and function in the physical body. The oil is high in lauric acid, which neither
raises nor lowers cholesterol, and also contains vitamin E and carotene. It has a long shelf life (it
keeps for months without refrigeration), resists rancidity, and can actually help with cardiovascular
conditions. Plus, coconut oil encourages weight loss, and because it’s more easily metabolized than
other fats and oils, it discourages fat storage and provides instant energy.
Take the oil “straight” or use in your cooking—unlike most other oils it stands up to high heat,
making it ideal for use in sautéing or frying. Or add coconut milk or oil to curry dishes or use in a
fruit smoothie made with 1 banana, ½ cup pineapple juice (Lakewood makes a good bottled juice
that is organic & not from concentrate), and 1 cup Vanilla Enriched Rice Dream™—add a dash of
cinnamon and nutmeg, not only for taste, but to enhance insulin efficiency—and you’ve got a
delicious and healthy drink. Also check out the Apricot & Coconut Crisp, Ginger-Coconut Rice, and
other recipes included later in the book.
Be sure to use a virgin/unrefined, preferably organic, oil because it still has the natural lecithin and
other phospholipids in tact that aid the body in emulsifying and digesting fats and oils. Try the
Organic Figi Coconut Oil, available at a discount through www.shop4AllOne.com. Or the Organic
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Garden of Life is one of the most popular brands on the market, and
available at a great price through the Swanson link on All One’s Links page; people even use it in
place of butter on toast or popcorn, and its smell reminds me of a toasted coconut cream pie. As
Homer Simpson would say (while drooling heavily, of course), “Mmmmm, pie.”
For therapeutic use, take up to 3 ½ to 4 TBS. (or around 10 oz. of coconut milk) a day, in divided
doses, but be sure to start slowly and increase your intake gradually. Too much too soon may result
in diarrhea or flu-like symptoms, including fatigue, headache, or nausea in some individuals. That’s
because the medium-chain fatty acids in the oil kill disease-causing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
parasites, and it takes time for your body to rid itself of the dead organisms and other by-products
of the detoxification process.
And don’t forget the oil is good for your “outsides,” too. Add some to your bath water, or smooth on
your skin for a completely natural beauty treatment—it leaves a wonderful smell that will have you
thinking you’re vacationing on a beach in Hawaii. It can also be used to help condition your hair.
Indian women coat their hair weekly, from tip to root with warm coconut oil, which seals moisture into
the cuticle and promotes hair growth—resulting in thicker, healthier strands. And some people even
use the oil for brushing their teeth and as a deodorant. With so many benefits and uses, coconut oil
is something no home should be without!
