Just didn't want more surgery right away. But I can tell it will come sooner

than I want. I am 71 and if I put it off much longer, it will be even harder.

Hi Donna M

I meant to email you before now and ask how that knee is doing? You should be

almost to the end of PT, or are you already?

Hope you Easter was wonderful.

I have been using Coconut oil on my face for two years, and it does not clog

pores. Why would you use any other skin care product? I use it to remove my

eye-makeup, Then I wash my face, and afterward I apply it to my face. My skin is

smooth, and flawless. It's the only thing I moisturize with , and I highly

recommend it. I also had a slight fungus on my foot. I applied coconut oil for 1

week and has cleared since. My skin is smooth, and itch free. Hope this is

helpfull!!

My thinking is if you find you have a brand that clogs pores, then switch brands

because it is not processed right. CO is a perfect oil. It is a food. Your skin

will eat it. It should not clog anything, it should clear your pores and nourish

your skin. I have never found it to do anything negative to me. You can trust

this oil.

Hi lk,

I'm soon to be 48, and my face use to be combination or almost oily when

younger, it started to get dry, but seems lately it's changing, getting

better. I've always been a big water drinker, and take a lot of

supplements, my fish and krill oil, but maybe the coconut oil I'm now

eating is making a difference? I've also added a few other new things to my

diet; HGH Renewal advanced, (got at vitacost.com) and their Natural

Astaxanthin, although I've taken that for over a month or more, it's an

antioxidant. I also added another new one, Emerald Sea, from emerald

express, but I've always taken my greens. So I don't know if that would do

anything. I also have been drinking Acai berry, they have buy one get one

free right now http://www.amazonthunder.com/

I start my mornings with water and lemon and take Neo Cell Collagen,( take

on empty stomach) then about 25-30 min, drink water with perfect food

powder( by Garden of Life) add flax meal too. (I also have a large cup of

some type of green tea, Holy basil pomegranate much of the time.) Then do

my work-out, then after work-out, drink protein powder and liquid

glucosamine and my vitamins and supplements. (no calcium until evenings,

does not absorb as good when taken with vitamins, and its calming for

evenings). Hyaluronic acid, collagen and 2000mg glucosamine is said to help

skin and joints. Whatever I'm doing, maybe a little of all of it? Seems to

be helping my face anyway.

On my face I've used several different products, just keep trying things

that have good ingredients. ( You should try a hyaluronic acid serum, it

will help hold moisture) I'm going to try the " Functional Keratin Cynergy

TK skin care products " because the protein in them may help the skin

elasticity. We'll see? I have people tell me I look like I'm in my 30's,

but I can see the bad places that have appeared. Neck or under chin, thighs,

upper arms, skin on those places is not looking too great. Some say workout,

build muscle, (I do, I have muscle) that don't work for me. If you or anyone

knows something that will help lose skin on those places please let me know.

I do put coconut oil on my dogs neck where he's scratched his hair off a few

years ago, when he had allergies, all his hair came back but on his neck.

Gideon loves it and eats it too, along with greens, fish oil and my

probiotics, He looks good except the neck, But the coconut oil seems to help

his skin.

You may already know all this stuff I told you, hope something I said will

benefit you. Lori E

I use Nativa organic extra virgin. I love it. Years past I tried Garden of Life

brand, I never got into it and quit it. I just recently started getting into

coconut oil again a couple months ago. I have rubbed some on my skin, and I

think I used too much, because I was oily. I mostly put it on my dogs bald spot

under his neck. And rub into my hands. I’m a hairstylist and my hands are NOT

my best feature! They get dry and look older than they are. How is the coconut

oil on saggy skin, like upper arms and thighs, under chin, that are losing

elasticity?

CO is pretty much just a medicinal oil. It will not do anything for saggy arms

and thighs. Nothing but good ole exercise will bring elasticity back into places

that have lost elasticity. Wish it were easier, but its not.

Ok, bummer…I was hopping. As I do exercise, and walk too, have for years, but

that does not seem to help my skin. I have good muscle tone, but the skin has

gotten worse with age. I also have spider veins, trying to work on them, and my

legs have always swelled from standing in one place at work,( even when I sit at

the computer for a while) which may have been a contributor to it all. But why

my inner upper arm skin is starting to look like it does I don’t know, except

age? Working with women (I’m a Hair stylist)all day, I hear others complain

about their arms too. I think 27 years of working in hair sprays etc. all the

resins etc… probably contributes to any health issues that come up too. Not

saying it’s making skin loose it’s elasticity, but it may not help either.

VCO is the only thing I have used on my face for 12 years. I use odorless bar

soap for shaving and apply VCO after shaving and before bed. So far it has

warded off any age spots and I willsoon be 72. Also use it for sunscreen (12

years). I live in the subtropics of Hong Kong.

My skin was starting to look really ragged, and a few months ago, I

started on MSM - LOTS of MSM. I've been taking anywhere from 2 to 4

heaping tablespoons per day (one at a time, so, one tablespoon, 2-4times

per day), and my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY in just these last 2-3

months, and ALL of my joint aches and pains are GONE.

So, my recommendation: buy a good quality MSM flakes, and start mega

dosing with it.

the best way to take it is just a heaping tablespoon in the mouth, sip

some water, swish it around until the coolness is gone and it is mostly

dissolved, then swallow it, then sip more water, swish, swallow, repeat...

Doing it this way, there is virtually no after taste (it can be quite

bitter if you allow yourself to taste it while doing this, so be sure to

not taste it)...

My husband was always a big water drinker, I wasn't then, but I do try to do

better now that I am drinking " Hexagonal Water " , but my husband's skin was

always so dry, and mine was just normal to dry, but working as an Esthetician

for over 30yrs. I took care of it very well. I do think you can overdo it with

water, as it can wash a lot of the B vitamins right out of the body, which are

really good for the skin along with other vitamins and minerals. I think the

best thing for the body, including the face of course is getting a lot of greens

in the diet, and Aloe Vera. I chop it up and put it into cranberry juice and

drink every day.It is just great, and I take Vit D3 10,000 units for five days,

and 5,000 for the remaining two days of the week.

, frankly I think washing out nutrients from the body does not occur.

Nutrients and minerals are tightly controlled, determined mainly by the kidneys,

which are very selective about what they filter out. The body does not jettison

Lori,

Coconut oil's melting point is 76F. It would be hard to clog the pores; even if

you apply the solid coconut oil it would melt on top of your skin. It is

absorbed by the skin and moves to our muscles etc., healing on the way.

Why not make your own healthy skin cream?

Olive oil (Costco brand the one made in California is said to be pure genuine

Olive Oil;

Naturlift and Nature lines from (www.texasnaturals.com),

urea and allantoin (www.soapgoods.com). Use only two 2% of the urea and

allantoin.

All are safe ingredients.

You might want to use Bradleys skin cleanser which i find very effective,

colloidal silver 75%, DMSO 10% and glycerin 15%. Clean your face very well as

this contains DMSO which takes everything inside the skin into your system.

Apply this using cotton ball, avoid eyes. Wait until it has dried then add The

above olive oil moisturizer very thinly all over the face.

Literally, better than botox.

Do you recommend any particular brand of MSM? I've used www.msm-msm.com before

and it seems very high quality but would be kind of expensive for Mega-dosing. A

great post you made, it may save my Mom's existence.

constant pain while using a cane or walker. With this a very simple and cheap

preventive, we can literally do away with almost all joint replacement therapy,

back pain, and osteoarthritis, while reducing rheumatoid arthritis to

manageable levels. What's more, the internal healing that you don't know about

right off is that it softens calcified arteries and blood vessels, making them

pliable, reducing the heart's pumping effort while reducing blood pressure. All

the while, you simply look much better. Your finger and toe nails begin to

soften and your hair and skin take on new life.
