Coconut Oil is very healthy

Coconut-oil-increases-cholesterol-is-healthy-for-heart
Cholesterol isn’t “good” or “bad”, because it is an essential component of cell membranes
and helps in healing and repair, as well as aiding vitamin D synthesis.
So why are we driven to bring down these levels to very low amounts? Drug companies.
The fatty acids in coconut oil are composed of medium and short chains,
which the body can utilize very quickly for energy.
Most long chained fatty acids that come from supposedly “healthy” oils
like canola or sunflower seed oil are actually stored as fat much more readily -
Margarines and other unnatural substitutes were composed of predominately trans-fats, (heat processed)
which are the most dangerous fats of all.
They’re so dangerous, that many health care practitioners and health experts
find them even more jarring to bodily health than smoking a cigarette.

What’s the bottom line on coconut oil?
Coconut oil is nearly 50% lauric acid.
Lauric acid is incredibly anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal.
The only other source of lauric acid that I know of is human milk.
Coconut oil is a medium-chain fat.
Medium chain fats are easier to digest.
Medium chain fats are converted to energy rather than stored as fat in the body.

Here are the directions:
COCONUT OIL DIETARY GUIDELINES AND SUGGESTIONS
By Mary T. Newport, MD – September 2009
1. HOW CAN COCONUT OIL BE USED IN THE DIET?
Coconut oil can be substituted for any solid or liquid oil,lard, butter or margarine
in baking or cooking on the stove, and can be mixed directly into foods already prepared.
Some people take it straight with a spoon, but for most people it may be hard to
swallow this way and more pleasant to take with food. When cooking on the stove,
coconut oil smokes if heated to greater than 350 degrees or medium heat.
You can avoid this problem by adding a little olive or peanut oil. Coconut oil can be used at any
temperature in the oven when mixed in foods.
2. WHAT IS THE NUTRIENT CONTENT OF COCONUT
OIL? DOES IT CONTAIN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS?
Coconut oil has about 117-120 calories per tablespoons, about the same as other oils.
It contains 57-60% medium chain triglycerides, which are absorbed directly without the need for
digestive enzymes. Part of it is metabolized by the liver to ketones which can be used by most cells
in the body for energy. This portion of the coconut oil is not stored as fat.
Coconut oil is about 86% saturated fat, most of which is the medium chain fats that are
metabolized differently than animal saturated fats. It contains no cholesterol
and no transfat as long as is non-hydrogenated. An advantage of a saturated fat
is that there is nowhere on the molecule for free radicals or oxidants to attach.
About 6% of the oil is monounsaturated and 2% polyunsaturated.
Coconut oil alsocontains a small amount of phytosterols,
which are one of the components of the “statins” used for lowering cholesterol.
Coconut oil contains omega-6 fatty acids but no omega-3 fatty acid, so this must be taken
in addition to coconut oil. You can obtain all of the essential fatty acids required by using just
coconut oil and omega-3 fatty acids. If you were to use coconutoil as your primary oil,
the only other oil you would need is an omega-3 fatty acid, which you can get by eating salmon twice a week,
or taking fish oil or flax oil capsules, 2-3 per day.
Some other good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are ground flax meal, chia (a fine grain), walnut oil and walnuts. Lauric acid is a medium chain triglyceride that makes up almost half of the coconut oil.
Scientific studies show that lauric acid has antimicrobial properties
and may inhibit growth of certain bacteria, fungus/yeast, viruses and protozoa.
It is one of the components of human breast milk that prevents infection in a newborn.
3. WHAT KIND OF COCONUT OIL SHOULD I USE?
Look for coconut oils that are non-hydrogenated with no transfat.
Avoid coconut oils that are hydrogenated or superheated because it changes the chemical structure of the fats.
If you like the odor of coconut, look for products called “virgin,” “organic,” or “unrefined,”
which are generally more expensive than “refined,” or “all natural,”
or “RBD” (refined, bleached and deodorized) coconut oil, which do not have an odor.
The oil itself is tasteless.
Any of these have essentially the same nutrient with about 57-60% MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides.)
The least expensive that I have been able to find so far is the Louanna brand at Walmart, $5.44 per quart.
Using coconut oil capsules is not an efficient way to give the oil since the capsules
are relatively expensive and contain only 1 gram of oil per capsule,
whereas the oil is 14 grams per tablespoon. Capsules might be useful for someone who will not take the oil.
4. WHY DOES THE COCONUT OIL LOOK “CLOUDY?”
Coconut oil is a clear or slightly yellow liquid above 76 degrees but becomes solid at 76 degrees and below.
If your house is kept right around 76 degrees you may even see partly liquid oil
with solid clouds of oil floating in it. If your home is generally kept at 75 degrees or below,
the oil will tend to be a white or slightly yellow soft semi-solid.
5. WHAT OTHER COCONUT PRODUCTS CONTAIN COCONUT OIL?
Coconut milk is a combination of the oil and the water from the coconut and most of the calories are from the oil. Look for brands with 10 to 13 grams of fat in 2 ounces. Look in the grocery store’s Asian section.
Some brands are less expensive but are diluted with water.
Coconut cream is mostly coconut milk and sometimes has added sugar.
Flaked or grated coconut can be purchase unsweetened or sweetened and is a very good source of
coconut oil and fiber and has about 15 grams oil and 3 grams fiber in ¼ cup.
Frozen or canned coconut meat usually has a lot of added sugar and not much oil per serving.
A fresh coconut can be cut up into pieces and eaten raw.
A 2” x 2” piece has about 160 calories with 15 grams of oil and 4 grams of fiber.
MCT Oil (medium chain triglycerides) are part of the coconut oil and can
also be purchased in some health food stores or on-line.
This may be useful for people who are on the go and do not have much time to cook.
Also, MCT oil is used as energy and not stored as fat, so it may be useful for someone who wants to lose weight,
if substituted for some of the other fats in the diet. Coconut water does not
usually contain coconut oil, but has other health benefits.
The electrolyte composition is similar to human plasma and is useful to prevent or treat dehydration.
6. HOW SHOULD I STORE COCONUT PRODUCTS?
Coconut oil is extremely stable with a shelf life of at least two years when stored at room temperature.
It does not need to be refrigerated and becomes extremely hard when cold.
If you wish to keep it in the refrigerator, you can measure out 1 or 2 tablespoons
into each section of a plastic ice cube tray. The coconut oil easily pops out of the plastic tray.
Coconut milk is mostly coconut oil and can be substituted for the oil in many ways.
Coconut milk must be refrigerated after opening and should be used within a few days or tossed out.
Grated or flaked coconut can be stored at room temperature for a few weeks, but may last longer
if stored in a refrigerator. A freshly cut up coconut can be stored in
the refrigerator for a few days or freezer for a couple of weeks.
7. WHO SHOULD TRY THIS?
Everyone to prevent diesase, but especially those who have a neurodegenerative disease that involves decreased glucose uptake in neurons, benefit from taking higher amounts of coconut and/or MCT oil to produce ketones
which may be used by brain cells as energy.
These diseases include Alzheimer’s and other dementias, Parkinson’s, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s),
multiple sclerosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, autism, Down’s syndrome, and Huntington’s chorea.
Ketones can also serve as an alternative fuel for other cells in the body that are
insulin resistant or cannot transport glucose, and could potentially
lessen the effects of diabetes I or II on the brain and other organs.
If you are at risk due to family history, you consider making this
dietary change as well. If your loved one is in assisted living, the
doctor may be willing to prescribe coconut oil to be given at each meal, increasing gradually.
8. HOW MUCH SHOULD I TAKE?
If you take too much oil too fast, you may experience indigestion, cramping or diarrhea.
To avoid these symptoms, take with food and start with 1 teaspoon coconut oil or MCT oil per meal,
increasing slowly as tolerated over a week or longer.
If diarrhea develops drop back to the previous level. For most people,
the goal would be to increase gradually to 4-6 tablespoons a day,
depending on the size of the person, spread over 2-4 meals.
Mixing MCT oil and coconut oil could provide higher levels and a steady level of ketones.
One formula is to mix 16 ounces MCT oil plus 12 ounces coconut oil in a quart jar and increase slowly as
tolerated, starting with 1 teaspoon. This mixture will stay liquid at room temperature.
9. WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN?
Children with Down’s syndrome and some children with autism show decreased glucose uptake
in parts of the brain. A reasonable amount to give a child would be about ¼ teaspoon of
coconut oil for every 10 pounds that the child weighs, 2 or 3 times a day.
Also, some children like the taste of coconut milk - 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons per 10 pounds weight
can be added to the diet 2 or 3 times a day. If you use coconut milk for a child be sure to
refrigerate it and toss after two days. In USA, do not add honey to
coconut milk for children under 1 year old due to risk of infection.
10. GAIN WEIGHT FROM THE EXTRA FAT IN THE DIET?
The best way to avoid gaining weight is to substitute
coconut oil for most other fats and oils in the diet, and if that isn’t enough,
cut back on portion sizes of carbohydrates, such as breads, rice, potatoes, cereals, and other grains.
In general it is a good idea to use whole milk products but, if weight gain is a problem,
you can also compensate for some of the new fat in the diet by changing from full fat to lower fat dairy products, such as milk, cheese, cottage cheese and yogurts, as well as low-fat or fatfree salad dressings,
to which you can add coconut oil.
Also, use measuring spoons and remove excess by leveling with a knife to avoid overestimating,
which can make a big difference in the number of calories consumed.
Tiny glass measuring cups are available at grocery stores with markings for teaspoons and
tablespoons. These are especially useful for combining salad dressing with coconut oil.
11. DOES COCONUT OIL INCREASE CHOLESTEROL?
Hydrogenated coconut oil can increase cholesterol.
Therefore look for non-hydrogenated coconut oil with no transfat.
There is no cholesterol in coconut oil itself, and with nonhydrogenated coconut oil,
most people will see little difference or will see an improvement in their HDL (“good”) and a decrease in
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. Some see an increase in total
cholesterol, usually as a result of an increase in HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
12. OTHER BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL AND COCONUT PRODUCTS
Coconut oil is easily absorbed by the body and increases absorption of certain vitamins and minerals and other important nutrients. This would also hold true for coconut milk, coconut
meat, whether wet or dry, such as flaked or grated coconut.
The fiber in coconut meat may be especially beneficial to persons with
Crohn’s or other types of inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption syndromes
and people who have diarrhea from MCT or coconut oil.
All of your cell membranes and about 60-70% of the brain and are made up of fats.
Cholesterol is a very important component of the support structure of the brain.
Many cell functions take place within the cell membrane. Since about the 1950’s many people in
this country have been using 100% vegetable oil,
which is usually hydrogenated polyunsaturated fat and contains transfat,
which can carry BAD free radicals into your cell membranes.
If you begin to substitute coconut and other natural oils, such as olive oil and even
butter, along with omega-3 oils you may be able to undo some of the damage.
Most of the cells of the body turn over within 3 to 6 months and you may notice a nicer texture to your skin,
and a decrease in certain problems such as yeast and fungal infections.

- Coconut oil has been repeatedly shown to be beneficial rather than detrimental on cholesterol levels and heart health. It's been clearly established for over 80 years now that suppression of the thyroid raises serum cholesterol (and increases mortality from infections, cancer, and heart disease), while restoring the thyroid hormone brings cholesterol down to normal. -, coconut oil balances thyroid and normalizes cholesterol levels.
"As far as the evidence goes... coconut oil, added regularly to a balanced diet, lowers cholesterol to normal by promoting its conversion into pregnenolone," "Coconut-eating cultures in the tropics have consistently lower cholesterol than people in the U.S."
- Use organic coconut oil for all your cooking needs.
- It is far superior to any other cooking oil and is loaded with health benefits.
- Choose an organic coconut oil that is unrefined, unbleached, made without heat processing or chemicals,
- and does not contain GM ingredients.
- Use ccnut oil or organic butter (made from raw milk) instead of margarines and vegetable oil spreads.
Raw milk butter is a healthy whole food that has received an unwarranted bad rap. - Be sure to eat raw fats, such as those from avocados, raw dairy products, and olive oil,
- and also take a high-quality source of animal-based omega-3 fat, such as krill oil, flaxseed oil.

What is oil pulling?
oilpulling.com
oil pulling or oil swishing, is an a simple cost effective natural procedure
that involves pulling or swishing oil in the mouth for oral and systemic health benefits.
Oil pulling is so simple, completely harmless, and inexpensive unlike most medical treatments.
The cost is the price of a daily spoonful of vegetable oil—cheaper than even a vitamin tablet.
The most obvious result of oil pulling is improved dental health.
Teeth become whiter, gums pinker and healthier looking, and breath fresher. That alone makes it worthwhile.
Many health problems are also improved.-Read more at oil pulling and oral health
what is oil pulling
oil pulling video
oil pulling method and questions answered
-1st thing in morning, one spoonful of olive or sesame or coconut oil in mouth,
-swish thru the mouth gently for 20 mins- [have a shower/check emails]
-do not swallow, spit, rinse and gargle with water -preferably seasalted water
- then brush teeth as normal.
The effect of this healing process is developed by the intense movement of oil in the oral cavity.
In many chronic disorders/germ-play and inflammatory foci, tend to stick to the tooth roots.
The teeth and their roots extend far into the jaw bone and their cavities.
These cavities are the body's own defense system.
Microbes that enter the tooth necks in these cavities found in this damp, warm and poorly environment, are ideal conditions -developing "dental foci" that damage the body
