Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 No, don't buy Lou. It is made from copra (can be moldy so possibly can contain mycotoxins) and processed with hexane. It is steamed to remove the hexane but, we don't know if there are traces of hexane left. > > Should I buy LouAna coconut oil?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 , Coconut oil is very sensitive to moisture. If you open the jar after your bath and there is steam in your bathroom, it will surely help to make the oil rancid faster. melly > > It's true that the oil will last for years.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I heat my VCO in a glass measuring cup on a candle warmer-takes about 10 minutes. I then use the oil for oil-pulling, also in my morning breakfast drink.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Where did you find a glass measuring cup? I have tried two kinds of metal cups mysef. The first one went rancid quickly. But then I used one from a set that I hope to believe are stainless steel, and that seems to be ok, at least so far. I have also used a shot glass, but that was messy. See, one particular way I use the oil is in a Tbsp. I put the oil in a spoon and then I pull apart my supplement capsules and put the powder into the oil. That is how I take them. So I would really like something that does not drip. My real desire is that I can find a small glass pump bottle, like a foundation bottle or a little bigger. This would be less messy to me. But I am curious about knowing who makes glass measuring cups. I have never seen glass. ________________________________ From: Laurie Adler <92adler@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Thu, January 20, 2011 11:15:25 AM Subject: Re: Re: coconut oil  I heat my VCO in a glass measuring cup on a candle warmer-takes about 10 minutes.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 So I guess you don't know about Vit E either. You haven't mentioned that in either reply. There are lots of tinctures around. Again, purity is the issue. I had been ordering from Swansonvitamins.com for a year, and have sent much back (they have a 1 year return policy). I have been disappointed over and over. The only thing that worked somewhat for me is $26.00 a bottle. I can't do that every month with everything else I am trying to do for myself. ________________________________ From: Don <hooty304@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Fri, January 21, 2011 7:35:17 AM Subject: Re: Re: coconut oil  you can know it is not synthetic if it is organic or wildcrafted rose hips...I use a tincture.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I-herb just looks like another Swansonvitamins. They sell everything and anything and that translates to me like they are just in a business and don't really care about the purity of what they sell. They just sell wayyyy too much and too many brands, just like Swanson. But thanks for the thought. ________________________________ From: Jan Rugg <janrugg@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Fri, January 21, 2011 3:34:36 PM Subject: Re: Re: coconut oil  go to i.herb.com,,,,great prices, great products fast service From: Lyn K <godisbest4me@...> Subject: Re: Re: coconut oil Coconut Oil Date: Thursday, January 20, 2011, 11:17 PM  I am using two vit E products together, but they are not helping.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I am the gal who gave the egg yolk and lemon experience. Trust me. I cringed at the idea for over a month, even tho the post that told me about it said you will never know you are drinking a yolk. Well, I can attest to that. It is true. Give the two a good mix together and the only thing you will taste is the lemon whose tartness is actually softened a little by the presence of the yolk. You go girl. It will be fine. Promise!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 (or, as I like to pronounce it, Ahn-DRAY-a). Nice name. It's very true that this group has gotten way of the subject. I cook very little (I live in a place that supplies my meals), so I just eat coconut oil directly form a spoon. I melt it first; I don't like the mouth feel in solid form. I keep it in the oven with the light on; I used to keep it on top of my refrigerator, but the refrigerator died, and the new one doesn't get warm enough on top. I have a couple of ounces a day, but you should probably start out with a teaspoon or so, and work up from there.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 , There are tens of thousands of past posts on this list. There is only so much one can say about coconut oil. I used to be on another coconut oil list, but I cannot recommend that list. The list is owned/run by a company which does not permit competing brands to be talked about. I suggest you go to Coconut Oil/, and browse thru past posts. You may also use the search function for interesting topics. As a test, I just used advance search to look for VCO in the subject line of posts and got a list of 2828 hits. You can then ask questions or comment on older posts to re-open old discussion threads.

Put it on your skin in a thin layer as moisturizer. There are unlimited ways to get this wonderful oi into your diet. The only pain is heating it to pour in the cooler months, and we have those temps more than not where I live. I tried to keep pace with my new find as the summer turned to fall last year, but I eventually lost momentum.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Dear , if you would like one on one consultation about supplementing with coconut oil or any other supplement or if you would like expert help with your hypothryoid and diverticulosis then I would suggest finding a qualified Naturopathic Doctor in your area. That is where you can have the expectation out of someone to specifically help YOU and you alone with your specific needs. Coming to a free group and having the expectations that you do aren't fitting. This group owes YOU nothing. These kind people share their time and experience and get into conversations amongst themselves that yes, aren't always directly about " coconut oil " . You have been asked to review the archives, where there is an overwhelming amount of information written about coconut oil usages and dosages etc. There are also books written on the subject and you might want to go buy one of those off of Amazon.com or the like on the subject. I would also suggest that you find a Naturopathic Doctor that that might also help you in the area of BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy as it seems you also have some of the symptoms of Menopause. I hope you get to feeling better. > > Are there any groups where I can get more information about Coconut Oil?
