Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I felt the first positive effects of VCO within an hour. When I skip VCO for a day, the reverse happens as well. Good luck in your results. Nobody can tell you exactly what VCO will do for you, but I'm sure you will find out for yourself very soon! Nina New to Group- Chronic Thyroid problems Hi Everyone. I was first diagnosed with hyperthyroid when I was around eleven years old. The doctors treated me with Tapazole and it is my contention that the drug caused permanent damage to my thyroid gland. I have been struggling with my weight ever since even though periodic blood tests showed my thyroid was normal. It wasn't until I gave birth that my thyroid totally gave out. And I mean totally. My TSH levels skyrocketed. I now take armour thyroid. I'm now 47 and have suffered from low level chronic depression all of my adult life which I believe is thyroid related. Even with the supplementation I know I am not " right " and I suffer monthly with terrible PMS. I just started taking VCO on Thursday. I spread it on a piece of whole grain bread. Within five minutes I felt slightly different. I can't explain exactly what it was -- maybe a slight feeling of warmth or a tiny speed up of my metabolism. I found that I was not hungry at all until about four hours later at which time I was famished and had to eat right away. Can anyone else comment on how long it took to SEE evidence that this is really working? Can anyone tell me if they've had similar experiences? Will VCO help my pms? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I feel energy when I take it too............it has also helped my candida issues which in turn affect the functioning of your thyroid. I suggest you buy a copy of Coconut Cures by Bruce Fife N.D. which will give you a ton of information about coconut oil and its uses.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Joyce I do the coconut milk smoothy every day. Here is how I make it. Coconut milk can be pretty thick so water it down. 1 can of coconut milk 1 can cold water 1 large cup of ice. 3 scoops of choclate whey protein(20 grams protein /scoop) zap it in the blender this is 2 servings Tastes pretty good to me Joyce <jjsmommy2@...> wrote: Thank you for that information but here's my problem...I'm waiting on my VCO order from WFN so in the meantime I purchased some of the canned coconut milk. It's really good in Bruce's recipes like the soup and chowder (I really like the clam chowder and cream of cauliflower recipes) but I cannot stomach the smoothies. So I guess I'll be having soup for breakfast for awhile.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 WFN is often slower than I would like. But I order via money order, so I do not know how much of the slowness is my money order getting to them, and how much the lag-time between their receiving the money order and the shipment getting out their door.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I order from WFn and had my oil withing a week. I live in NH if that helps at all. The oil is delishious too. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use debit card for payment. The oil I am using I got from Kokonut via a firm in Canberra, Australia, and it's very good. I would like to try the centrifuged oil next. I don't really want to have to order it from the USA, and imagine I can order it direct from source. My impression is that there is only one firm doing it with centrifuge, though that may not be correct. Can anyone advise me of a source in Australia selling premium oil, or direct from the country concerned? Did I understand correctly that someone in the US ordered from New Zealand? Is there a link for a list of suppliers of good coconut oil? Rowena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi Rowena, Welcome. Good to know another Aussie is here with us. I too wondered about Carol's order from NZ. I hope she tells us more. Whilst we presume she meant 'New Zealand', perhaps her use of those initials means something else? Where in Australia are you? I am in southern beaches area of Sydney. Kokonut Pacific supply very fine quality VCO obtainable from Canberra, I have used it for several years. Coles supermarket at Parkside Mall at Miranda also sell small jars of CO in their Asian food section - I am pretty sure it is NOT virgin oil though. It is a long time since I looked at those jars, so I can't report on the label's info.
