Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks Smitty I have seen this anecdote before. Young Coconut Water for Cataracts Here's some info on using coconut water for cataracs = (Testimonial:) To remove cataracts use coconut milk (fresh from the coconut). Straining it first would be a good idea. Put as much as the eye will hold and cover with a warm wet cloth for at least 10 minutes. Repeat the following day. We discovered this by accident while on a cruise ship (years ago). A few of us were on an island day trip and wanted to get off the beaten path so we hired a bus and driver to take us to the opposite side of the island (only 10 of us on that big bus). A man and his wife were taking the cruise as a sort of last hurrah before her scheduled cataract surgery we later found out. Anyway beautiful beach, coconuts laying everywhere and we got thirsty, no drinking water. So we decide to open up some coconuts to quench our dry throats. Found a local with a big machete and through sign language we convinced him to open coconuts for us. Anyway the woman with the cataracts got splashed in one eye by the coconut juice and it burned a bit. We were all digging through everything we had for something to relieve her eye " injury " , all we came up with was one moist washcloth. Her husband wiped her eye and placed the washcloth over it. About 10 minutes later she announced we should head back to the ship. We did. The next morning at breakfast she said that her eye was much better and that she could see very well. We examined her eye closely and could not see any signs of the cataract, which were quite obvious the day before. She said she wished she had gotten splashed in both eyes. Then the idea dawned on us to " splash " her other eye. We did as soon as we got ashore that very day, also repeated the other eye too. This time we were prepared, went to the local market grabbed a coconut, opened it, strained it through a washcloth into a plastic cup. Dribbled the juice into both eyes. Placed a warm washcloth over both eyes. Waited 10 minutes and the rest is history. She went to her MD upon returning stateside - no cataracts and no surgery. Give it a try the next time you have an opportunity. Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Do not know how to get green ones anywhere. I have wondered if any grow in southern Florida? Oh Man.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Amen to that one, Smitty! I certainly would try it since I know that coconut in all forms is good for us both internally and topically. Gerry > I live high in the mountains of Northern New Mexico.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Check on You Tube " How to open a coconut " mostly they are presented with the green outer covering removed - so they are cream coloured & stringy looking - quite difficult to open - whereas the old ones have dried out and are dark brown - just in case anyone here didn't know.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 A young coconut is full & overflowing with water - there is very little if any - meat in the coconut - therefore all the enzymes & whatever creates the " meat " is still in the water.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I am not sure when he will be back, Gerry. He left for the Chicago Marathon. What a sweet young man he is. He arranged for me to get 7 hour long sessions with the best personal trainer at the YMCA. When I told him I wanted a coconut, his eyes lit up and he told me that coconuts are " miracle food " . He knows.all about coconuts and said he knows how to climb coconut trees which do not.bear fruit until they are old. All I have to do in exchange is put oils on his body and give him massages. Heck, I can do that with pleasure. He is an amazing man. He was the only one of his family to escape a massacre during a civil war in El Salvador and at the age of 12, he made his way, alone and friendless, from El Salvador to Los Angeles. I took his pulse last night and it was only 47. Iisn't that something? So I am all set. Ann >Good deal Anne.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Then, unless you live where they are growing, how would you obtain one? There would be no reason for them to harvested and transported as there is nothing to " sell " with a " young " coconut. What am I missing? Is canned coconut milk or water from young or old coconuts? How long does a young coconut " hang out " until it is an old coconut or how long does it take from them to go from no meat to full of meat?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 From pollinated flower it is 7-10 months for a young coconut and a mature coconut is 14-18 months depending on many factors such as species,temperature,sunlight,rainfall etc. All the coconuts that they sell in the bars with a drink poured in with a straw and those in resurarants tend to be very young. A large portion of the husk has been cut(shaved) off to reduce bulk and weight for shipping. Here in Hong Kong we can buy what is called a Smoked(BBQ) coconut which is a youngcoconut with all the husk removed. They used to be about 50 cents US but over the last few years have reached about $US1.00. The bar type have gone from 1 to 2 dollars US. Mature (Brown Hairy) range from 1-3 dollars US. Many of them are old and most of the water has evaporated through the shell or leaked due damage from rough handling. To choose any coconut pick the heaviest ones that are full of water. If you can hear the water sloshing around inside pick another that is full and quiet. Cheers, Doug Re: Young Coconut Water for Cataracts > > > >> Amen to that one, Smitty!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Ann, Be very careful for they say ALL food is irradiated when coming into the USA. For safety¹s sake, of course. Also, to ensure no vitamins or enzymes are still alive! If anyone finds a source for young green coconuts as used for cataracts, in the US (Florida or California), please let us know where to buy them.
