Re: coconut benefits-18th century ideas

[Guest guest]

PJ,

I like the diabetes cure. Does your book show if it was taken in as solid food

and was it cooked? Did they take it as tea? Would really be very happy if you

could give me more info as i am diabetic.

Thanks.

different customs in Kerala,India. The very name Kerala indicates the land of

coconuts and I live in Kerala. Our entire food,vegetarian and non-vegetarian are

based on coconut. The book says about the food of an 18 century warrior. He eats

one plate of boiled rice mixed with scrambled coconut in the morning with no

other side dish. Another king eats tender coconut mixed with jaggery(If you go

on heating sugar cane juice it will end up in a dark brown viscous substance

called jaggery)in the early morning. All the above food indicates that they all

are body building techniques.I recently read a herbal medicine note, which state

that a tincture made of the roots of coconut tree which you find on the trunk

above ground level cures diabetes.
