Re: Re: yeast infections -- Patty

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty,

For baking do you substitute coconut oil for butter equally? Do you add anything to the baked item in addition to the coconut oil? Sorry for all the questions, I’ve been looking for a butter substitute and this sounds like what I have been looking for. I have used olive oil exclusively. I do have a borderline low thyroid so coconut oil could be just the thing for me. I have an appointment with my ND tomorrow and will run it by him.

I've been using coconut oil for a couple years now. Wouldn't be

without it! There's tons of info out there about the benefits of

coconut oil, especially for those with thyroid issues.

I only use a few fats and oils anymore....olive oil for cooking and

with meals, organic coconut oil for baking (sometimes walnut oil if

coconut oil won't work well), and organic butter for serving with

meals. Flaxseed oil (from the seeds) and fish oil for supplements.

That's it. And everything is stored in black or dark bottles in dark

places.

All other oils I consider to be questionable, especially if they

come in bottles from the grocery store. Those are the most vile oils

out there, and certainly not to be considered foods! They are

already rancid sitting there on the shelf.

Thanks, Lea.

It is a very rough time for me right now. This kind of friend is rare. I

will miss her so very much. It is nice to know that others care.

Lynda,

I'm very sorry for your loss . . . I know the

suddenness of it adds to your pain. Please know that

she probably wouldn't want you to suffer. . . That

she's passed onto a better world - free of pain and

suffering . . .

But that doesn't make the loss any easier when we miss

them so.

Please be good to yourself.

Love,

Rogene

Thanks, Rogene. I know she is not suffering any more. I have another

friend who is even younger who is dying of brain and lung cancer. I just

cannot believe all this is happening. She was also a friend of Carolyn's

(the one who died last night). It just seems like a lot right now.
