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 smellssoooo good! 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 oils from Garden of Life and Jarrow
are two of the most popular brands on the market, and available at a discount through the
Swanson link on All One’s Links page. And Swanson now has their own brand of coconut
oil at a really great price, so experiment and see which brand appeals to your taste buds
and budget. People even use the oil 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!
