herbal teas and water, but despite all this, the coconut oil in that amount (4

tablespoons) made me terribly sick. typically I use it in my raisin bread

(2 tablespoons in a whole loaf). I think I will stick to just using it in my

bread from now on!

Hi

lots of energy yes, spaced out, ungrounded and disembodied, haven't

experienced that myself. Maybe you should build up gradually say 1

teaspoon with every meal and build up from there. I was taking 3-4

tablespoons a day without any problems except in the beginning i had

sore throat and palpitations, a detox symptom i think.

Thanks Cheri,

What you said is interesting. I too eat very well and am in very good health.

Perhaps our

systems are sensitive and perhaps don't need as much either. The oil is very

powerful for

sure. I am going to try a teaspoon after a couple of days and see how I feel.

Thanks.

It sounds like you need to back down on the amount you are taking. Go slow .Try

starting with a tsp 3 times a day then slowly add more and see how you tollerate

it. The coconut oil can cause a die off of yeast and Bad bacteria in your body

and releasing toxins that your body has to deal with. that could be what is

making you feel spaced out.Energy is what coconut oil does for me. Just get used

to it gradually.The detox is pretty intense anyway. If you are a new user , it

might be too harsh. Results may be faster , but you have to make it through the

cleanse.

Yes you are experiencing metabolism!!! Lol something so many of us hypo's

especially have never known....I make my toast just heaped with the coconut

on it - unfortunately I don't get as good a reaction as you.

If possible try spacing out your amounts ie only 1 tablespoon in the morning

and if possible one at lunch and one at dinner and see how that goes.

I try and take flaxseed oil capsules when I can't get my VCO in. also helps

with your metabolism.
