Over many months a lot of members have commented on their using products of the coconut in their food. I have just found a new article on this very subject which seems to support and recommend the use of coconut in our every day lives.
I thought that other members might like to read what it has to say:
Coconut is awesome. I live in a part of the world where they're available all year round and dirt-cheap, so I use them whenever possible. I have two trees growing in my garden and occasionally cut a green coconut for a glass of coconut milk. I use coconut oil (and butter) almost exclusively for cooking.
It really annoys me that certain "authorities" advise against consuming coconut products because they're "loaded with saturated fat". Well, yes ... a lot of tropical oils are. It's something to do with the way plants adapt to higher temperatures. If I were being cynical, I might wonder if the campaign against tropical oils is something to do with temperate-climate oil producers wanting a larger slice of the global oil market at the expense of the locals.
Let's slay that dragon once and for all, there is nothing wrong with saturated fat, we need it for brain maintenance apart from other things and children need it for brain development. Some authorities are hinting at the rise in dementia being due to the lack of saturated fat in the diet of sufferers.
I enjoy coconut very much. I like creamed coconut that I can grate into meals, and I enjoy fresh coconut occasionally too. Last night I enjoyed a flavourful Thai Green Curry using coconut milk, in my slow-cooker, and it was really delicious.
My wife uses coconut milk in some genuine Indian curry recipes too. We buy curry herb mixes from an Indian shop in Yorkshire; they offer 23 different recipes including the strength of the mix. The slow cooker sounds a great idea as curries need to be cooked long and slow and ideally kept for 24 hours before reheating to serve so as to give the spices time to act on the meat. It makes my mouth water to talk about it.
I use Coconut oil everyday on my skin. Its great as a sunscreen and protection for prickly heat, I would add t tree oil to use for any sweat rash's or bra rub when skin is red.
There's a web site called Don't be Shy of Coconut which I quoted. If you click here or paste this address into your browser healthscams.org.uk/dont-be-... You should go directly to the article I found.
I have been using coconut in every form to help my mum heal from sepsis and meningitis: she has coconut milk in her breakfast porridge, in her lunch-time soup, and does coconut oil pulling at night. Its early days, but she has already surpassed the doctor's predictions
What you say about the treatment you are giving your Mum is really interesting, my wife and I are always pleased to learn something new.
On a similar subject it is said that you should not over dose on Vitamin C which has been shown to be absolute nonsense. It's been used in huge doses to treat sepsis and recently I had the beginnings of a cold which I knew the source of. I took ½ teaspoon of pure vitamin C powder in warm water four times a day for two days and it never developed.
Yes. When my mum was delirious in hospital, , I asked for her to be given IV vit C. It took 3 days and the threat of suing them to persuade them to do this, but the day after the IV vit C was started she woke up!
That is so interesting to hear and I was so pleased to know that the treatment worked for your Mum. Fancy having to threaten suing them before they would respond? Perhaps the doctors who were treating her will remember and use the treatment more often. I have now watched the video interview with Dr. Marik and was totally convinced by what I heard.
