New here; comment/suggestion for Dennis & re-request for 's Questions to be answered, please.....

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I just discovered this group. I strongly suspect that

I have a thyroid problem and read that VIRGIN coconut

oil is great for the body; hence I am here.

I will mostly read as I am not as hardcore into eating

all my food raw/uncooked (especially meat....yuck!)

But I guess some of you are more evolved : ).......but

I am making a conscientous effort to increase the raw,

live foods into my diet.

Dennis,

I do not know what you are taking supplement wise BUT

I just started taking " Alpha Lipoic Acid " (100mg) and

it really makes you jump up & feel alert. It is

renowned for stimulating the brain. I used to feel

foggy/brain cloud a lot. This has helped. You can get

it cheap online at Nutri-Meds.com.

I am also taking Aceytl L-Caritine (1000 mg) and

Thyroid & Adrenal Granulars, Enzyme supplments for

helping to digest the dead food I eat, etc.

I hope this is helpful (Again, I don't know the tenets

entirely behind this philosophy yet)

******************************************************

Now, Questions for ANYONE HERE with " Coconut Oil "

experience,

Last digest asked a question that went

unanswered (unless I did not get the response for some

reason)

Since I also was interested in hearing the response to

the questions she posed, I am copying the essence of

it down here, in the hope that someone will answer :

) .......

1. Please comment if heated, does VIRGIN coconut oil

go rancid?

2. Must it always be used cold (kept cold) or is

storing it at room temp okay?

3. Is heating it up to cook with it okay? (Keeping in

mind I will NOT be eating all raw or raw meat anytime

soon but I want to retain the benefits of the coconut

oil in my body)

4. Also, does it go rancid? MUST it be refrigerated?

5. How long is its shelf-life? e.g., Does it go rancid

after a certain period on the shelf?

Thanks ahead of time for imparting your wisdom,
