Naomi, thanks I saw that. I'm definitely considering that. I was wondering how it's so inexpensive. I've ordered products from Mountain Rose Herbs several times before so I'm not casting aspersions, but just curious. Great price.

I don't know how they sell it so inexpensively. I've wondered that myself. I guess we could ask them, but I doubt they'd tell us. It's good too. Tastes a lot better than the expensive health food store stuff I've tried.

If you go with Tropical Traditions coconut oil you might also check

out their Baby Silk hand lotion and cream. It is the best I've ever used!

I ended up getting the exact same thing - i.e., five-gallon centrifuged VCO from Wilderness Family Naturals. Thanks.

Hi Caryn,

Coconut oil begins to melt at around 75 degrees or so. No, it won't

lose it's effectiveness in the liquid state. Some people prefer it

that way. Personally I can't stand it when it's liquid though, so here

in Missouri where I live, I refrigerate mine when we have warmer

weather, so it stays solid.

I've got the same problem, in RR TX. Gone back and forth between keeping

in the fridge and keeping on the shelf. I'd prefer it be like room temp

butter. But, room temp in Texas means melting point for most everything.

In the fridge it gets too hard to spoon out. That's what happens when

products don't have emulsifiers (a combination of ingredients to keep

the ingredients held together). I'm going to try an insulated container,

with the coconut oil jar in it, placed in the fridge. Also, your butter

storage in the fridge door is usually not as cold as the rest of the

fridge (to keep butter soft).

not lose its effectiveness! Great eh?

I have found it easy to pour liquid CO into icecube trays.

I vary the amount so that i have a vaiety of cubes to choose from.

Once they are set (just minutes in the freezer) i pop them out and put

them into a container in the freezer. I can just take out what I want

to use. Works for me

==>, I don't know what they do when they filter it, nor why;

none of the good companies do that. Also if they are using shredded

coconut it could already contain sulphites. They also do not state

it is unbleached.

I suggest you write to the company about these things before using

their coconut oil.

==>Hi there. What is your name please? No, coconut oil, garlic and

other natural antifungals do not have to be alternated or rotated.

Candida does not become intolerant of natural sources of antifungals.

Candida becomes intolerant of antifungal drugs because they are

toxic/poisonous (except Nystatin) and candida feeds off of toxins, so

such poisons make it grow more and also cause damage throughout the

body. Whoever came up with the idea of rotating natural antifungals

was probably selling them. That is just as nonsensical as rotating

foods, and coconut oil is a food.

Why be concerned if your bowels become dependant upon " good " oils and

fats, when they are very important and necessary for good health,

whether you have candida or not. Also " good " fats and oils go into

constructing all of the body's cell membranes the way nature intended,

so they strengthen the bowel, and they also help the bowels move

properly. All cell membranes need to be constructed out of 50%

saturated fat(lungs require 100%) in order to be healthy, otherwise

they are weak.

Bee, I was surprised when I read, " Whoever came up with the idea of

rotating natural antifungals was probably selling them. That is just

as nonsensical as rotating foods, and coconut oil is a food. "

I have heard from close family members that they and/or their children

have had cummlative food reactions and found that rotating their foods

put an end to their problems. Plus, I think somebody wrote a book

called the Rotation Diet and many have found relief. What is your take

on this, please?

==>Hi Chandra. Allergies are a very misunderstood subject by doctors

and people alike. First, good unadulterated foods do not cause

allergies or health problems. Our bodies are designed to use foods

to keep healthy and for energy, and Mother Nature doesn't get it

wrong. Second, sometime good unadulterated foods do cause healing

reactions, which are misunderstood as allergic reactions. Healing

reactions are NOT allergic reactions; they are very necessary

processed the body needs to go through in order to heal.

To understand more about allergies, and how false the antibody theory

is (which tests are based in), etc. see these articles:

==>It keeps at room temperature for 2 years, and it will go solid and

make it hard to use if you put it in the fridge. So, no don't keep it

in the fridge.

Do you mean coconut oil capsules; there isn't such a thing. If you

want you can put coconut oil into large gelatin capsules if you don't

like the feel of it, but having it is Bee's Raw Egg Drink and cooking

with it is best. Here's the recipe:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe167.php

Be careful to start on small amounts of coconut oil since it is

antifungal, and only increase it gradually every 5-7 days to minimize

die-off symptoms.

Hi ,

Helpful info on the taste of coconut oils is in the Coconut Oil survey

that I did awhile back (and just recently updated). It's in our group

files and on Bee's website.

I use Tropical Traditions Gold Label and it smells and tastes about

the same a Mt. Rose. It's actually getting harder and harder to take

the smell and taste. I can't put it in foods as the essence lingers in

the food and is starting to make me gag.

I was using Tropical Traditions " Expeller-Pressed " (it has a white

label) From reading the survery Jackie sent you, it is okay b/c no

solvents are used during the process.

This " Expeller-Pressed " had hardly any aroma or taste. (I wish I would

have stuck with it instead of the " Gold Label " )

Dear Nithya: It sounds like a good unrefined coconut oil.

Next post from you is to share how you are doing on the diet. Now that

you have the CO, it's time to get started, dear. No more delays. It

might take a while to get up to the 6 Tablespoons of CO per day.

Remember, you don't start on the antifungals until then. So take that

first bold step...and let us know how it goes!

Hi ,

I know I should really get sarted but has just been hard for me to

find all the products and since most of them I can't find at the

shops I have order them in and it is going to take a while for them

to be delivered to my house, this is delying it so much. Also I am a

uni student who can't afford the time to work and so everything that

I get I have to ask my parents money for and whilst they are in most

part supportive it is hard explaining to them why I need everything

that I do.

Finding all the products and chasing down all the particualrs has

been an extremely taxing and time consuming process, I am neglecting

my studies and other aspects of my life because I am getting so

obsessed with getting everything that I need. I just can't wait till

I have all of the products and can get started!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Nithya,

Did you know you can start the diet without having all the

supplements? The only things that absolutely *need* to be taken

together are calcium and magnesium. Everything else you can add as

they arrive. I had this same problem in the beginning as well ...

waiting for all those dang supplements to arrive. But Bee said to go

ahead and start anyway. You can start now by cutting out the

forbidden foods and start eating the right foods. Gradually, you can

add the supplements as they arrive and you will find you will quickly

get the hang of everything. Pretty soon you won't be obsessing about

all this stuff anymore and can focus on your studies.

Good luck!

(also studying at uni and managing a household)

Hi,

I dont have all my supplements in order as well. But I've started with

the diet & coconut oil. Then slowly added whatever I could find. I

didnt start of organic eggs but now I have them. I'm still searching

for a good vit A source & butter & soyfree vit E. But I figured I cant

jump in & take everything so its better this way, I get to get to it

nice & slow.

I hope that u will start on it slowly as its best for your body too.

Take care

*** Dear Nithya:

One of the beautiful things about this program is that taking any one of the

steps (diet,

supplements, cutting out sugar, adding in good fats) can help you heal. Why

don't you

just focus on cutting out sugar (since this will not cost you money) and adding

the egg

drink to your daily food intake. (Taking care to take it slow with the coconut

oil) This is a

huge step because by doing this you stop feeding the candida, and you are adding

in

good fats, excellent nutrition, and an anti-fungal. After a few weeks, see if

you can add in

taking sea salt daily in the electrolyte drink.

I am concerned that you are getting obsessed without taking any action. That is

a never

ending road and I wouldn't be surprised if you find that once you've been doing

these two

steps for a while, a couple of months, that you will find that your thinking

becomes easier.

Hormonal imbalances can be caused by a lack of good oils, and it seriously

affects mood

and thinking patterns... I speak from experience. Once I started feeding my

thyroid and

adrenal system with good oils and an absence of sugar (which was running both

systems

into the ground) my mood became happier, my perception of stress changed, and I

became less rigid in my thinking and less prone to anger. That is my personal

experience.

I hope you will get started and see if just those two steps can free you from

the grip of

obsessive thinking.

If you do the above steps, your shopping list is:

1.)The best eggs you can afford (even regular eggs will help, maybe you can mix

pasture

eggs with the best commercial eggs you can find so that you can stretch your

budget.)

2.) Coconut oil (starting off with 1 teaspoon or less per drink)

3.) Unsalted Butter ( the best you can afford... but butter in any form will

help)

4.) spices (clove, cinnamon, ginger--all have medicinal properties as well)

5.) Stevia ( a little container will last you for months)

Later you will buy sea salt and lemons.

Use what water you can, if you can afford a pitcher filter, get one, if not,

that's okay. You

can do that later.

I hope this is helpful to you.

[Guest guest]

Dear Nithya,

Marissa's post is fantastic. Do this. The way your mind's going at

the moment is part of your illness and it will go away. Every moment

you're preparing for this is a moment your not being active in it. So

do one small thing at a time. Make it part of your routine and when

that's becomes automatic, add in another thing.

I can totally relate to how overwhelming it all is and how you think

it all needs to be perfect before you can begin. I think most on this

list would say that going slow and doing things in stages was the best

route to take.

This week, personally, I'm going to give up wheat, dairy and sugar.

Add a breakfast drink to my regime and take my supplements when I

remember. That's it. That's all I can manage for now.

Good luck to you. You have youth in your favor and really only

yourself to look after so you're ahead of the game already. :~)
