Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Money runs our country. Whoever has the most gets more. The goodnews folks is that my son is now on only 2.5 mg's of Zyprexa and doing GREAT! From 7.5 mg's to 2.5, can you believe it??? He wakes up a little more with every successful decrease. About 3 weeks into this decrease now and he is doing so good. I can finally breath a little. He was complaining about his teeth today. After about 4 years with braces on (2 years ago) he finally got them off. He had the prettiest smile, but i couldn't get him to ware his retainer. Now they have collapsed back almost to were they were. I could have choked him this morning when he started complaining about his teeth. I begged him 2 years ago to wear his retainer and he wouldn't. BEGGED and BEGGED and BEGGED and finally gave up. I told him that was not a good subject with me and he needed to be quite about it.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi Sev Replying to you from Austin, Texas. You say the husk is lignin rich to protect from biological factors....Can the lignin from its husk not be isolated to be used in the production of the vco? Has the PCA done research on its effects, both positive and negative? Is the lignin the wax like cover of the husk? Maybe we can scrape and melt it then put a few drops in the oil if the research and testing results are good and does not pose any health hazard.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 , I grew up in Panama . I remember one of my favorite treats was a small palm nut called Pixba.we would boil the whole nut then when it was soft we would peel the thin outer skin and salt and eat the equivilant of the coconut husk and spit out the seed.It was a relatively high carb snack .It must have had a lot of palm oil in it too. Do they have such a treat in The Philipines? IN NC melly banagale <@...> wrote: Hi Sev Replying to you from Austin, Texas.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi from Australia, on the subject of coconut husk. We are following a traditional south pacific technique of using the young green coconut husks (~6months from pollination) as treatment for skin lesions, bites, ring worm etc. we scrub with the moist husk and derive benefit from the husks natural defences. Until soap came along in the south pacific, this was a great way to support the skin. The husks can be juiced with a sugar cane juicer to concentrate the juice which has numerous traditional healing qualities. please reply with any experiences cheers, > > I think all coconuts have hairy shells.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Dear , Niece to hear from you from another continent across the pacific ! Coconut husks from matured nuts contains 43% lignin and coir dust (or cocopeat) higher (54.8%),While, the less resistant cellulose and hemicellulose with 23.9 and 8.5%, respectively. Lignin is a complex aromatic compound, chemistry of which not fully understood, considered to be a polymer of phenyl propane units. It is deposited in cell walls, xylem vessels (water conducting tissues), making coir fibers and coir dust strong and rigid. I think it's not practical to isolate enzyme-producing fungus and /or bacteria from the lignin-rich coconut husks. Perhaps I should end here.
