Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi, Thought this might be of interest to you. Jane coconut Dear Jane: As a member of the Weston A. Price Foundation and chapter leader, just as I am, I wanted to let you know of some new developments that may be of interest to you and the members of your chapter. I am Dr. Bruce Fife the author of The Coconut Oil Miracle (formerly titled The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil) and Eat Fat, Look Thin. I am also the director of the newly formed Coconut Research Center. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the medical community and general public about the health and nutritional aspects of coconut. I invite you to come see our website at www.coconutresearchcenter.org. This site is entirely educational. There are no annoying advertisements and all information posted is screened for accuracy. The site contains informative articles, research studies, nutritional information, news, success stories, and resources. I think you will find it very informative. New information is continually being added. I would also like to offer you a free copy of my Healthy Ways Newsletter. This newsletter contains articles on a variety of subjects and follows the philosophy of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Just e-mail at bruce@... and tell me where you would like it sent. The current issue has and incredible article on the connection between macular degeneration and vegetable oils and how coconut oil can help prevent this disease. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness and it's rapidly increasing in incidence. Find out why and learn what you can do to protect yourself. You are probably familiar with my best-selling book The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil. This is the book that has changed the perception of coconut oil from an artery-clogging villain to that of a super health food. A new publisher is now distributing the book and they have just recently published a new edition with a new title The Coconut Oil Miracle ($14.95). This book is now available at your local bookstore and health food store. I would also like to invite you to check out my other best-selling book Eat Fat, Look Thin ($16). This book explains how to use coconut oil to lose excess weight, stimulate metabolism, increase energy, and improve thyroid function. This is the first book to describe the connection between coconut oil and thyroid health. If you want ideas on how to use coconut in cooking and how to add coconut oil into your diet I recommend my new book the Coconut Lover's Cookbook ($16). This book contains nearly 450 recipes. You will find recipes for creating savory main dishes, appetizing side dishes, satisfying snacks, and nutritious beverages. You will also find recipes for smoothies and blender drinks, creamy soups and hearty chowders, delicious curries, stews, and casseroles. If you can't find these books in your local bookstore or health food store you can get them directly from me. Since Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up I would like to make you a special holiday offer. If you purchase any of these books directly from me, I will give you absolutely free my lecture on CD Coconut Oil: The New Health Food of the 21st Century. This CD normally sells for $6.95. These books, as well as the CD, would make excellent gifts for Christmas. They are ideal in helping to teach your family and friends about the health benefits of coconut and coconut oil and other tropical oils. If you've ever had difficulty explaining why saturated fats are not as bad as was once believed, these books can help you out. Each book is filled with references to the medical literature backing up each statement. This special holiday offer is good only until December 20, 2004. So you need to order now so that we can mail it to you before Christmas. For more information or to place an order please contact orders@.... Orders can be placed via e-mail, fax (719) 550-8810, phone (719)550-9887, or mail. Best wishes, Bruce Fife, ND Author/Publisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I want to make a fragrance that has a hint of coconut in the scent. Do I use virgin coconut oil for this or is there something better out there? ************************************************************ Hi dmattox626 That's probably the best thing for a solid perfume. For alcohol based, you could try tincturing the dried coconut in alcohol. I think others on the list have done it with success. There is a coconut absolute which is sold, but the one time I bought some, it didn't smell very much like coconuts to me. Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thank you, I guess I should note that I am trying to avoid alcohol based perfume. I want to stick to solid and oil. Hello there cold pressed, extra virgin coconut oil which is readily available, will give you a definite sweet-cocnutty fragrance - and is instantly recognisable; it's fantastic in a lip balm / solid with bees wax [and vanilla], and makes gloriously soft, kissable lips! The coconut fragrance lasts and lasts. Downside of c.p, e.v coconut oil is that it will oxidise [go rancid], and that it is liquid in warm ambient temperatures, and solid in cooler ... so it does affect the final product. Is it possible to but a fresh coconut or two, smash them up [always fun] shave the fresh flesh, drink the juice [pretending you're in Thailand or Vietnam ] and infuse the shaved flesh in jojoba? I haven't yet tried fractionated coconut oil as a base for solids, and perfume oils, but am wondering if it's possible to infuse fragrant matter in it? Perhaps others have tried this. Have fun Margi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps others have tried this. I use fractionated coconut oil almost exclusively for my oil-based perfumes, except when someone requests something like jojoba, or in the case of my Chocolate Absolute-instilling experiments where someone preferred the chocolate-in-jojoba because it is less sweet and more musky (due to the jojoba). Fractionated coconut oil has practically no scent at all and will NOT go rancid as other coconut oils will...and it accepts almost all scents beautifully. In the case of things (such as the Chocolate Abs.) where something is not initially oil-soluable, you can instill the scent into the oil by gentle warming/aging or sometimes simply warming something up (e.g. Vanilla CO2) will permit the substance to blend with the FCO. I recommend FCO for anyone doing oil-based work. (It also absorbs into the skin readily but does not leave a slick/greasy feel that other oils do.)

Perhaps others have tried this. It's entirely possible to go the fresh coconut route, but you would want to add an extra step. You'd want to dehydrate the coconut before infusing it. There's the moisture that's still in it if you leave it in its fresh state, and I'm thinking that it could possibly want to mold while sitting in the oil. Ugh. All that fun and labor, down the drain. My suggestion would be that you eat that fresh coconut (YUM!) and get yourself some high quality dried coconut to infuse. And I believe there's a lot of info here on infusing things in fractionated coconut oil. I've not done it myself, being an alcohol gal. But rummage around here and I think you'll find the answers you're looking for. Good luck! Andrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor have I ever heard it doing so, before this topic thread. Well, thats not entirely true. It did go rancid on me once, but thats because I was trying to infuse it with my plumeria blossoms. I think the blossoms brought some kind of microbes into the oil. But any scented product where I've used v. coconut oil as a base has never gone rancid on me.

Nor have I ever heard it doing so, before this topic thread. <snip> > Neither have I. The only one that has gone a bit off was the refined stuff. Someone gave me a jar and I was not happy with it. No coconut scent at all, which made it blah. And then it went off. Ugh. But the VCO that I use is always just plain lovely. When we've had our heat waves near triple digits, it liquefies, but it never goes off. I buy it in bulk and it lives in the pantry until it's used up. So I guess as long as it's in the state that nature intended for it (unrefined), maybe it's got what it needs to keep it from turning. I've never used VCO as a base. I think I need to try that. Only I'd probably just want to eat whatever I made with it. Hmmm... now Ugandan vanilla infused in VCO... That could be the bomb! Cheers!

It was fine, I just used it on my hair and skin, and I do that with vco too, but I also use it for cooking and spreading on bread too, which I never did with rco. I recently found that Whole Foods has a vco in their house brand, which is a lot cheaper than the Hain brand I was always buying. Yay! I think I might buy a jar for cooking and supplementation and one jar for hair, skin, and perfumery! I have yet to get around to getting it in bulk.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I bought 6 lbs of coconut oil from Ghana, this was brought back by Dr. Quarterly. He said it never went bad. This is totally raw....but I didn't notice a coconut scent....in fact, not much in scent of any kind. He said it would not go bad ever......is that over stating it? He does have it dated towards the end of 2007 which is when I got it, unopened and in a cool dark place so its stayed solid.....should I be looking for anything obvious or scent alone? evie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your coconut oil doesn't have a scent, most likely its refined coconut oil. Virgin coconut should certainly smell like coconuts. <He does have it dated towards the end of 2007 which is when I got it, unopened and in a cool dark place so its stayed solid.....should I be looking for anything obvious or scent alone?> I'm not sure if you are asking about the shelf life of the oil or if it is refined or virgin.
