Coconut Benefits

[Guest guest]

I just found this long listing of Coconut Oil benefits at s Moritz's

wellness forum at sicknesshope.com. He has some VERY interesting stuff there and

there's many testimonials of people who's health has improved from his

recommendations. In case anyone wants to browse over there, his nickname is

'moreless'. -

Hi Moreless:) I would be pleased to elaborate on the benefits I have noticed

from coconut oil. This may be a long post though.

Energy - one of the first things I noticed was the energy I felt after I ate

it.Weight loss - I only lost a few pounds, but I am at a pretty healthy weight

anyway. I know others who have lost much more using coconut oil.

Healthy skin - Of course, eating coconut oil lubricates you from the inside out,

I also use coconut oil as a all over moisterizer and on my face. I have notice

my skin is fresher looking with less fine lines. After I put it on my face it

feels moist and tighter (but not a dry tight)

I also use coconut oil as a sun screen...it gives you a beautiful tan and

prevents burns and leaves your skin with a healthy glow.

Also, I should tell you that I convinced my sister to try the coconut oil. As

she had a growth on her forehead about 1 cm wide. Coconut oil is antifungal.

Anyway, she did not apply it to her skin like I told her to, but she ate about 2

tblspns per day. Within 1 week (no lie) the growth which she had for 5 years was

completely gone. She cancelled her appointment to the dermatologist that she had

made. Now she eats it and applies it to her skin daily and loves it. She is

nearly 60 years old and says her skin has improved tremendously since starting

the coconut oil.

Heals dry cracked heels or any dry skin condition I or friends have had.

I've used coconut oil to heal a burn on my finger really quickly.

One more thing on coconut oil and the skin is my younger friend who has a baby

tried it as a diaper cream for diaper rash. I told her to use coconut oil and

Oil or oregano and the diaper rash cleared up over night.

Hair conditioner - I use coconut oil from time to time to give my hair a deep

conditioning...it give great results.

Healthy gums and teeth - I eat about 3 tblspns per day and I have noticed my

gums and teeth are much healthier. If I feel a tender gum from brushing too hard

or something I'll put coconut oil on the area and it is all better by the next

day.

Also, I should mention that I give my dogs about a tablespoon a day and about 4

months after I started to do this, I noticed my dog's teeth were getting much

whiter and their gums looked so healthy. They did have some build up prior to

the coconut oil and that is now all gone except for a little on a couple of

their far back molars, but I can see more and more white on those molars coming

through all the time. I don't brush their teeth or do anything else for their

teeth other than give them the coconut oil. Plus, their fur is very soft and

extremely shiney.

Also, I have a cat that is 14.5 years old now and he decided that he also likes

coconut oil. As you can imagine in 14 year old cat, his teeth were not the best.

After about 2 months eating coconut oil (which he absolutely loves and will bug

me to no end until I give it to him in the morning) I was looking at his teeth

and they look amazing...white and pink healthy gums. Plus his energy has

definitely increased...he is much more mobile and alert and playful.

Infections - I have used coconut oil to treat my daughters whenever they come

down with anything. Of course, I also use alkalizing things to help them out as

well, but I know coconut oil helps a lot in this area. For myself and my

husband, it is extremely rare that we even feel off because of the Moreless

protocol and the coconut oil, but it does help with the girls.

Cuts - I have used coconut oil on cuts with great success and quick healing.

Coconut oil is one of those things that you instinctively know is good for you

when you try it. Between the Moreless protocol and coconut oil, I feel pretty

healthy and have lots of energy. I can't think of anything else right now,

although I'm sure there is more, but

I hope that helps someone here.

Also here is a link to a coconut oil site that I frequent from time to

time...it's very informative:
