I used coconut oil for ms. Together with a diet of healthy raw foods, lots of water minimum dairy, no meat, very little fish, no sugar, my thyroid, heart problem, cholesterol and general health was fixed! Dr.Trudie Bartholomew

 *Coconut oil generally has no unhealthy side effects, so it can be used as often as needed and for as long as the applicant finds necessary.
*We are talking about pure, virgin coconut OIL here, not coconut flakes, water and the like.
* A little bit goes a loooong way with coconut oil.
Health

1. Lubricant. Yes, you know what I’m talking about.
2. Sun treatment. After being out in the sun coconut oil is known for soothing the skin, as is aloe vera. Coconut oil has great antioxidant properties and helps heal the cells and tissues. Because of the lipid barrier (a layer of fat) that it provides over your skin, it locks in moisture and blocks some of the sun’s damaging rays.
3. Lice treatment
4. Research shows that it boosts metabolism and energy. ” In the l940s, farmers attempted to use cheap coconut oil for fattening their animals, but they found that it made them lean, active and hungry” and ” G. W. Crile and his wife found that the metabolic rate of people in Yucatan, where coconut is a staple food, averaged 25% higher than that of people in the United States. In a hot climate, the adaptive tendency is to have a lower metabolic rate, so it is clear that some factor is more than offsetting this expected effect of high environmental temperatures. The people there are lean, and recently it has been observed that the women there have none of the symptoms we commonly associate with the menopause.”
5. It is an anti-infammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral substance for the body  – especially in the gut and Crohn’s disease. Read more.
6. It can help hypothyroidism and thyroid function, especially when coconut oil replaces the use of unsaturated fats. This combination will increase enzyme production and promote the conversion of T4 to T3 hormones in the liver.
7. Stress relief. Massage into your forehead and around your temples, the smell is very soothing and the health benefits plentiful.
8. Protects against heart attacks, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and strokes. Heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis account for nearly HALF of all the deaths in the United States. Coconut oil and its medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), especially lauric acid, destroy both the bacteria (Helicobacter pylori and Chlamydia pneumonia) and viruses (cytomegalovirus) that are most commonly associated with atherosclerosis. In Sri Lanka, where coconut oil has been the primary dietary fat, the death rate from heart disease has been among the lowest in the world.
9. It helps diabetes and stabilizes blood sugar levels by encouraging the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Read more and more.
10. Increases bone and teeth strength. Coconut Oil improves the body’s ability to absorb minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which are needed for the development of bones.
11. Coconut oil can be used as a kind of liquid bandage because of its antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Application of coconut oil accelerates the process of wound healing. It is very safe to apply on small cuts and wounds. Apply it to an infection and it will form a chemical barrier and help heal your wounds. It can also be applied on bruises to help speed the healing process.
12. Reduces the tendency to form blood clots .
13. HIV and Cancer – it is thought that coconut oil may help HIV and cancer sufferers become less susceptible to viruses.
14. Helps candida/yeast infections.
15. Helps digestive problems and regulates bowel movements.
16. Chronic fatigue and fibromayalgia
17. Lowers cholesterol. Natural, nonhydrogenated coconut oil tends to increase HDL cholesterol and improve the cholesterol profile. HDL is the good cholesterol that helps protect against heart disease.
18. Has the potential to treat skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
19. The antifungal properties of coconut oil can also be used to prevent foot fungus like athletes’ foot, and treat ringworm and diaper rash.
20. Coconut oil’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a treatment option for the pain and itching of hemorrhoids.
21. Strengthens the body’s immune system.
22. Massaging foot with coconut oil helps to soften cracked heels and increases the beauty of the foot.

Coconut Cream
That said, one of the little dairy-free trends that has been oh-so-trendy has also become a staple in my kitchen when making dessert for large gatherings of people — coconut whipped cream.  Vegans love it, dairy-free friends love it, and normal-whipped-cream-eating friends also love it.  But I realize I’ve never posted about it on here before, so I thought I would add to the myriad of coconut loving posts online right now and share a quick tutorial for those who want to learn how to make it.
Refrigerate overnight: No shortcuts here (that I’ve found).  If you want fluffy coconut whipped cream, you must refrigerate your can of coconut milk for at least 18-24 hours before using it.
How To Separate Out The Cream: Once your can has been refrigerated for a day, remove it from the fridge and immediately open the can.  The thick/solid coconut cream should have separated to the top, while the coconut water is on the bottom.  Use a spoon and scoop out the coconut cream, and then use your coconut water for a different recipe (I usually toss mine in a smoothie).  The coconut cream is what you will use to make the whipped cream

All natural real coconut water! I have tried couple coconut water brands before and I thought why not try another since they tasted pretty good. So, I bought a Real Coconut Water from Taste Nirvana at the Whole Foods Market. According to Taste Nirvana, their coconuts are harvested from the Nakorn Pathom providence. The coconuts from this region grow larger and sweeter than in other regions of Thailand. The coconut water is a great hydrating drink that can be a healthy and delicious part of your daily life.

  this time siyalu sathwayo

Weeds are the bane of fields, lust is the bane of

mankind. Therefore, what is offered to those free

of lust yields abundant fruit.

Cut off your affection in the manner of a man

plucks with his hand anautumn lotus. Cultivate

only the path to peace, Nibbana, as made known

by the Exalted One.

Body cleanse and detox diet tips for beginners 

How does detoxification work?

Basically, detoxification means cleaning the blood. This is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected.
