    Default Benefits of Coconut oil

    http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-...conut-oil.html

    "These benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and its properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc."

    This article said it provides relief from viral infections, such as limiting herpes outbreaks, etc. I used to get a lot of cold sores (no genital herpes, thank god) and I'm on anti-viral medication but I'm thinking about taking some coconut oil every day now to help prevent cold sore outbreaks. I've heard it helps kick colds and other infections as well.

    Since coconut oil is also anti fungal, I'm starting to use it on my toenails, which have toenail fungus, and it has been by far the best thing that has worked on my toenails so far.

    I am prone to lots of yeast infections and I'm not sure why... I'm thinking I have candida overgrowth in my system. Does anybody know anything about this? Anyways, I'm going to start using coconut oil as lube and maybe that will help, since it's anti-fungal.

    I got lice once from a tanning bed, and it was the only thing that really helped me get rid of it--lice hate that stuff, and the lice and the eggs slide right out with the lice comb.

    It is also said to speed up metabolism.

    Oh, all the reasons why I should start taking coconut oil orally... I'm just scared of the stomach pains of starting out.

    Any suggestions to prevent the stomach pains? Or any other uses of coconut oil you'd like to add?

    As far as yeast goes, how's your sugar and acid food intake? I used to get a lot of cold sores too, which are fed by the sugar/acidy foods. Try taking Kyolic garlic pills. Can you manage some (PLAIN) yogurt, (but go easy on the dairy) ? You can add fruit, or some stevia (herbal sweetener) All the yogurts I've looked have way too high a sugar content, even @ Whole Foods. All the drugs for yeast infections depress the immune system, as does antibiotics.
    The book I'm quoting from is Natural Remedy Book for Women, by Diane Stein, it's helped me out so much!
    If you pm me, I will send you the section on Candida Albicans (yeast). Why the stomach pains?
    *Oop, bit of a threadjack..my friend's a diabetic, & she's got me on a stronger awareness of sugar, if you read labels, you'd be shocked at the amounts in foods.
    Anyway, coconut, luv it totally, I'm drinking coconut water..I want to get coconut oil for my fizzed out mop of hair.

    I've heard of ppl getting stomach pains or diarrhea when they start out on a coconut oil "routine" of 1-4 teaspoons a day, and that starting out small and working your way up is the best way to do it.

    I googled how to eat it if you don't like the taste, and some people suggested making a "shot" kind of--like a teaspoon of the coconut oil and some oj in a shotglass and taking it like a shot at a bar. I think I will try that.

    I read about putting it on bruises to help them go away faster. I bruise so easily and it takes forever for them to go away. I put some on my knees this morning and I'm already seeing a difference. Weeeee

    ^adding it to shakes or protein drinks, juicing and the like.

    great to brush your teeth with, clean your makeup off, moisturize and kill bacteria on your face and body, and oil pull with.

    Good stuff. Not a fan of taking it internally but wouldn't mind with a blender.

    This coconut thing is getting pretty wild. It's totally good for you, but unfortunately it's my only allergy. I can't even eat most ice creams now because they've replaced palm oil with coconut oil as an emulsifier. I also had to leave work Saturday night because one of my girls used it on her hands and gave me an aspirin, thus giving me a massive reaction. My reaction is almost always anaphylaxis, and it takes a minute amount. I can't let any of the girls really hug me or anything anymore.

    By all means use it at home, but always be careful at work! Coconut allergies are similar in severity to peanut allergies!

    Coconut oil is my best friend. My hair loves it and with a little sugar, exfoliates my skin like an angel :p

    I cook with coconut oil all the time, it's a good medium heat oil and I don't think the flavor is too powerful. And nothing gets eyelash glue out better.

    I love coconut oil... right now there's one 32 ounce jar almost gone and a 14 ounce ready to take it's place! Haha.

    Ditto that. Emu oil, jojoba oil and castor oil are everyday oils for me!

    I'd say try small, small amounts and gradually increasing. I just stupidly started taking about 1 tsp of flax oil a day and def got some stomache troubles. Didn't think it would bother me since I used to eat a lot of flax seed meal. Big dif. duh. I cut back to 1/2 tsp and only take it with my yogurt to help digest.

    Also didn't know about the anti fungal properties. Good to know!

    Solaray offers an amazing Yeast Cleanse, it's just a cycle of vitamins you take for 30 to 60 days. It's one bottle of pills, so you don't have to buy several bottles because that shit gets expensive! I've studied this yeast issue extensively because I was constantly battling yeast myself... it was so annoying I couldn't leave the house sometimes! Once a week I will empty a douche bottle and rinse it out, fill it with distilled water and a tablespoon of tea tree oil, it's the best antiseptic I have ever found for yeast, it's 100 percent safe and really effective and feels really good. Another way to cut back on yeast is to take a probiotic vitamin everyday before you eat anything. Yeast feeds on sugar, so be careful with that. I promise either one of all of these things will help you out, they worked wonders for me after I spent about 3k on vitamin deficiency tests etc. Good luck to you!

    Oooooh coconut oil is the BEST! I use it for everything. Night cream, eye cream, foot cream, lube (best tasting lube EVER!), massage oil, cuticle oil, for cuts and scrapes and every morning for breakfast. I like Dr. Bronner's better than Nutivia so far, but it's more expensive. Eating it every day knocked out my candida in a couple of weeks! I like to cut up bananas, put some berries on top (blueberries, mulberries, or raspberries) and then make a frosting with coconut oil, a squirt of agave, a pinch of cacao powder, and a drop of vanilla extract. Stir it all up, pour over the fruit, and throw in the fridge for 5-10 minutes so the oil solidifies. So fucking delicious. Try it, I dare you!

    The locals here (well, on the other smaller islands more so than here because this is the most developed one in the chain) have a firm belief in the many health benefits of unrefined cold pressed coconut oil. One coconut yields only a very small amount of oil--so it is very precious.

    Some of my ex's family even used to insist that rubbing it on my breasts daily would make them firmer and fuller, lol. When I was breastfeeding they also made sure I drank coconut juice daily, which they said would increase milk production. Clearly, none of this is 'scientific evidence' but I'm sure a culture living on an island dominated by coconut trees for thousands of years knows their stuff =)

    Okay, stupid question here... but to my knowledge... coconut oil comes in the form depicted in K Sweet's pictures above.... it's more solidish than liquid until you warm it up/roll it around in your hands ect...

    So how the EFF is everyone using this shit as lube?

    If you buy the good quality organic type (more expensive but well worth it), it melts instantly as soon as you scoop up a bit. If it's a hot day it stays liquid. It looks sooo wet on cam and my customers love it.

    I once bought a cheaper kind and it was awful, irritated the hell out of my skin and stayed solid even at higher heat so im guessing it wasn't good quality stuff at all (maybe cut with some other less expensive oils or fats).

    I use organic virgin coconut oil as lube..exactly the way you'd use regular lube. It's the best way to go because I know I'm not putting any artificial chemicals inside me. PLUS being that it's antifungal/bacterial, there's less of a chance of irritation. In fact, I was having early signs of a yeast infection which I prevented just by having sex using CO.
