Coconut Water

[Guest guest]

Coconut water is becoming enormously popular nowadays. Ten years ago

when I was doing research for my book “The Coconut Oil Miracle”, I

learned about coconut water. I began to keep a file where I would put

interesting information about coconut water for future reference. When I

published “Coconut Cures” in 2004 I included some of this information.

By 2007 my coconut water file had grown so big I decided I needed to

enlarge the chapter on coconut water in “Coconut Cures.”

At first I thought I would add maybe 5 or 6 pages, but as I began

writing these 5 or 6 pages turned into 20 and I realized there was too

much incredible information I wanted to share. The obvious conclusion

was that I would have to write another book, this time devoted entirely

on coconut water. I spent much of last year researching and writing this

book. I must say, coconut water is just as incredible as coconut oil AND

totally different.

Coconut water has its own unique health benefits completely separate

from coconut oil. Coconut water is essentially fat free, so its health

benefits are not associated with medium chain fatty acids (it contains

no lauric acid). Its benefits come from a combination of vitamins, ionic

minerals, amino acids, enzymes, plant hormones, antioxidants, and other

phytonutrients.

You may have heard that coconut water has been used for intravenous (IV)

therapy. This is 100% true. I’ve gathered dozens of studies from around

the world documenting this fact and describe some amazing stories where

coconut water IVs have saved lives when commercial IV solution had

failed. Studies from the Philippines, Thailand, India, Uganda, Nigeria,

Indonesia, New Zealand, Britain and the United States have confirmed the

effectiveness of IV coconut water. The simplest way to use coconut for

IV therapy is to insert a needle into the soft “eye” of the coconut.

Tubing from this needle goes directly to another needle which is

inserted into the vein of the patient. The coconut water goes straight

from an unopened coconut into the bloodstream of the patient. I have

pictures of this set-up in my book. I know of no other fruit or

vegetable “juice” that can be injected directly into the bloodstream

like this.

Coconut water is so compatible with the human body it is now being

marketed as a “natural” sports rehydration beverage. As a rehydration

beverage it is FAR superior to Gatorade and other commercial sports

drinks. I’ve got studies to back this up.

The benefits don’t stop there. Coconut water helps dissolve kidney

stones, protects against cancer, helps balance blood sugar, provides a

source of ionic trace minerals, improves digestion, feeds friendly gut

bacteria, helps relieve constipation, reduces risk of heart disease,

improves blood circulation, lowers high blood pressure, improves blood

cholesterol levels, helps prevent atherosclerosis, enhances immune

function, and possesses some remarkable anti-aging properties (certain

components of coconut water are now being incorporated into anti-wrinkle

face creams).

My new book is titled “Coconut Water for Health and Healing.” If you

Re: Bruce's latest book

Coconut water does not contain lauric acid. Lauric

acid is in the white coconut milk and coconut oil from

the processing of the white coconut milk.

Mr. Sev Magat, coconut expert, can settle this for us.
