Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I use coconut oil regularly. It could be its way of expelling toxic substances in your body. salivary stones How does coconut oil affect salivary stones? I'd never had any problem with them. Have started using coconut oil and milk in my cooking for the last few months. Now I've just been diagnosed with salivary stone in parotid gland (side of mouth). There's still something there I can feel with my tongue - some kind of mass. The oral surgeon says wait for it to clear up. Still, it makes me really nervous. What could have caused this? Could the coconut have contributed to it in any way? -PattyT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yes, I thought about that, too. Maybe expelling stones that were already there. Wish someone with some medical training, my oral surgeon or family doctor, could enlighten me some on that. I doubt they know much concerning coconut. -Patty > I use coconut oil regularly.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Coconut as a " healer " is a new concept. It only emerged around 2000 so there are not that many " experts " or " doctors " who could really be well versed about it. What we read in the websites and are all based on experiences of vco users and some findings or data from researchers who are not medical practitioners. There is a new thing going on here in the Philppines, some of the Philippine Heart Center medical doctors are now recommending the use of vco. Attention everyone. My sister in law a dietician/nutritionist read the profile of the coconut oil. It shows the presence of Vitamin K. She said those who are taking blood thinners like aspilets should not take vco coz it might be contraindicated with the blood thinner medicines. Just a thought for medical doctors and naturopaths to pursue. salivary stones > > > > How does coconut oil affect salivary stones? > > I'd never had any problem with them.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Patty, I know that my splendid doc has a natural remedy for expelling salivary stones. I have not suffered this complaint although he told me about his cure some years ago when my friend had salivary stones, but I'll be seeing him later this week (for my regular B12 injection) so if I remember to ask him, I know he will tell me. I do know it is about taking some mineral(s) for a period of days - to soften the stones - and then drinking lemon juice to encourage the gland to urgently contract and squeeze the stones to expel them. I'll report back next weekend or when I have the answer for you. By the way, my friend did not do my doc's recommendation and eventually had to have surgery performed by two facial reconstruction specialist plastic surgeons which, fortunately, was successful although, in my opinion, that was a drastic option compared with taking some minerals and lemon juice, which would have been my preference. Also, since the excision of that salivary gland there is less saliva in that side of her mouth, she has had dental problems which her dentist says can be put down to that lack of salivary 'wash' in that side of her mouth. All the best. Audrey - Margo salivary stones > > > > > > > > How does coconut oil affect salivary stones? > > > > I'd never had any problem with them.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Audrey - Margo, Yipes! Yes, please do ask your doctor for the process. I'd really appreciate it. -Patty > Patty, > > I know that my splendid doc has a natural remedy for expelling salivary > stones.
