My husband recently got strep throat and I stayed healthy. I've also avoided a couple colds that I believe is because I have coconut oil every day. There's a great (dairy free) chocolate orange mousse recipe that uses alot of coconut oil that I love to have for dessert!!

One friend who writes for a diabetic publication has even said she will do an article on it in the next issue. I can't say I am very partial to the oil, although i do love coconut, but hey, if it benefits you in so many ways then I'm prepared to continue with it. I just wish the medical profession were open to recommending it to their patients.

I live in Panama and the older folks here swear by the oil for any illness. They tell me that 9 times out of 10 the coconut oil will resolve the problem. Also, they tend to drink a lot of pure coconut juice here. That is to say, they will get the raw, young coconut, hack the top of it off, and drink juice/milk inside. They love their coconut here!

I still love your blog :) We've been eating a ton of coconut milk lately, since I just cut out dairy. I noticed I totally lost any cravings for junk food. I used to want chocolate/chips/Micky D's fairly regularly, but none this month. Either cutting out dairy or adding in coconut milk or both has eliminated my breastfed son's eczema too, so that's awesome. Another great post.

I have been consuming 3 or more Tbsp. daily now for two weeks. I have had many health issues. They include IBS, diabetes, high cholesterol excema and CFS and Fibromyalgia. I used green food powder and cell rejuvinator powder (Peter Gilliam) The symptoms of CFIDS are gone. The coconut oil has been having a colon cleanse effect. It has loosened and removed plaque from my colon and also parasites. I know this is very gross but if it works I am thrilled! I have an overall feeling of energy. I look forward to see what other benefits will occur. My excema has improved as well as my skin in general. This stuff is amazing. I have found it at Walmart for $9. Good luck to y'all!!
