Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 >>>> You'll think I have coconut on the brain, but if you're worried about e-coli, it sounds like you should include coconut oil in your diet daily. Here's what Fife says " When coconut oil is eaten the body transforms its unique fatty acids into powerful antimicrobial powerhouses capable of defeating some of the most notoriuous disease-causing microorganisms. Even the supergerms are vulnerable to these lifesaving coconut derivatives [medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides ]. Coconut oil is, in essence, a natural antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiprotozoal food. " [The medium chain fatty acids, esp. lauric acid, disrupt the cell membranes of the lipid coated microorganisms, which include many of the bad guys. The beneficial microorganisms usually do not have a lipid coat, so survive in the presence of MCFA. This explains why tribes in the tropics who often consume coconut or similar foods survive with all the dangerous organisms that thrive in the tropics, while outsiders who move there bringing their usual foods succumb to disease so quickly. I'm bringing some coconut oil with me when I go to Tanzania next week!] -------------->Kris, i'm sorry i can't remember who fife is and what he wrote - can you tell me? this is interesting about the lipid coating and i'd like to read more about that. tanzania? wow - sounds exciting! what are you going to do there? please let us know what type of fermented foods they eat, and what the traditional diet looks like, when you get back on a computer and have time to do so Suze Fisher Web Design & Development http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3shjg/ mailto:s.fisher22@...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil, by Bruce Fife, N.D. I got it from Coconut Oil Supreme at http://www.coconutoil-online.com/samples.html when I ordered my first order of coconut oil - a little book, but full of goodies about coconut oil. I'm headed to Dodoma with a group of women from our church to visit the church women there in the capital. I'm afraid there may be too much Western influence where I'll be to see much native cooking. I was there two years ago, so it will be interesting to see if I can find out more about their cooking habits.
