Mircowave energy is high and acts on food at the atomic level. It could break

the unsaturated bonds of oleic and linoleic acids in VCO and form peroxide free

radicals.

Hi, all.

I'm fairly new to the whole coconut oil thing. I've been taking it for

under a week, and have already seen some benefits, but am experiencing

nausea on a daily basis. I started with around three TBSP of the stuff

initially, but cut back (to two) when I had a bout of diarrhea. I've

also started to split my dosage into twice daily. The nausea isn't as

bad, but it's still there. (The good news being that it keeps me from

snacking.)

I've also been experiencing heartburn and some acid reflux (presumably).

I tried some ginger tea mixed with green tea, and that seemed to help,

but I'm wondering how others have dealt with the nausea. Also, do any

of you have any tips on increasing dosages?

Also, I was melting it in the microwave to liquefy it, but then read

somewhere that microwaving it is a no-no. Does anyone know why?

I melt it by keeping it on top of my refrigerator.

Debbie, yes you started out with too much oil at first and all at once. Go

back to 3 teaspoons 3 times a day and see how that goes, move up slowly.

Plus the oil will give you much more benefit if spread out over time unless

you were specifically trying to do a cleanse.......the oil will boost your

metabolism so over the day that will be better for you too.

Thanks. I did cut back and spread it out.I keep some in my desk at work and have

it with tea.

I still feel nausea, but not as bad now. I suppose the hidden benefit of the

nausea is that I'm

not snacking ;-)

My theory on Nausea is that the oil hits the liver too quickly and in

too higher amounts. Poor organ cant cope.

I use it as 'butter' and spread it on things. This way its mixed with

other things and its more slowly released.

VCO is supposed to be in the coconut milk and because its in the

milk,it takes a lot longer to be absorbed by the liver. It has to be

broken down and the oil slowly released in the gut.

The liver is not designed to take such a large hit all at once.

The only reason we have VCO is because we dont have access to the milk

and cant have both the oil in the milk as well. Its supposed to be

taken as milk.

I have had terrible nausea when I have tried cleansing...my dr recommended

cayenne extract.... he told me to stop the clease for a few days and then

restart with a small amount for a week, then begin to increase slowly...

I have now started back in and put the cleansing powder in a capsule and

have been drinking lemon juice and cayenne extract and I can now tolerate

the cleanse....my dr says that this reactions means there a lots of toxins

in the body....

Microwaving anything is a NO! NO! Just Google Microwave Cooking.

Yeah, I was going to reply similarilythat there isn¹t any specific reason

not to microwave CO....I was reckoning wherever you read it was against

microwaving in general.

Liver is not needed to secrete bile to digest VCO.

I know people who chug large quantities of coconut oil, cayenne, or

other healthy substances and make themselves sick. I sip them slowly,

along with other nourishing foods and never have a problem with

nausea.

For me, the combo of coconut oil, fish oil, and cod liver oil goes

really nicely with a 3 ounce serving of whey in ~3 ounces of water.

Duncan recommended fish oil and whey a while back.
