Re: yeast infections -- Patty

I am so sorry to hear about your friend passing away. I know that

has to be tough.

As far as the coconut oil, Iuse Garden of Life and purchase it from

appleadayandbeyond.com. I really like it and I also give it to my

dog and it seems to keep his yeast under control. He used to smell

like yeast all the time as he is on a constant antibiotic or he

would die. He has constant regurgitation into his lungs. The

Garden of life is organic and high quality. The only negative I can

say is that my cholesterol went up alot after I started using it.

BUT I don't know if the coconut oil had any thing to do with it. I

was also walking regularly and I was pretty disappointed to get

those blood tests. Some people say coconutoil raises cholesterol.

others, dr. mercola included, say it doesn't. So who knows? I am

still using it as I love it!

Interesting, I just got my cholesterol down that went up with the low

thyroid. I use red rice yeast and policosanol.

I will check into the cholesterol/coconut oil connection. I would not want

to raise my cholesterol again.

Thanks,

Lynda

Kenda,

Yes, I substitute coconut oil in equal amounts. The only thing I

noticed is that the baked goods can be a little drier or crumblier

at times, maybe because the coconut oil is not liquid at room

temperature, like other oils. We used to keep our house at around 80

degrees in summer (when it is 105 degrees outside, 80 feels kinda

good!) and the coconut oil was liquid then. But lately we've kept

our house a little cooler, like around 75 and I noticed that it is

still solid.

In any case, the flavor is great, and I've never noticed any

problems with using it at all.

Patty,

You may have already told us this, but I am kinda out of it. One of my

best friends died last night.

Where do you get your cocomut oil? Are there better brands than others? I

have been thinking of trying this. I actually use just about the same

types of oils you do.

Hi Patty,

Thank you, I’ll definitely make the substitution next time I bake. I always have coconut oil around because I am a soap maker and use it in all of my soap.

Lynda,

I am so sorry about the passing of one of your best friends. That is

so sad. Life seems less enjoyable when we lose close friends. This

is a down period for you, for sure, so take it easy. Be good to

yourself as you try to comfort others too.

There are several brands of coconut oil out there, and I've ordered

from two sources. Wilderness Family Naturals is one:

http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/

and Tropical Traditions is the other:

http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm

Tropical Traditions has a mailing list where you can sometimes get

buy one, get one free deals, which are great. That's where I got my

last order from and I have liked their product. I generally look for

organic virgin coconut oil.

I hope that you it helpful!

Thanks, Patty. She died of hemolytic anemia. I just talked to her Sunday,

and she did not sound like she planned to leave this world so soon. I have

had a stomach flu for three days, and had not seen her. I was really

shocked. She was the same age as I am.

She was diagnosed two years ago and spent half a year in the hospital. She

had been in remission, and I knew she was having symptoms again. I just

did not think she was on a really downhill track.

She was truly the kindest, sweetest, most honest, most caring person I have

ever known. I will miss her greatly.

Oh Lynda,

I'm so sorry! . . .

Can I recommend a wonderful book? . . . " Final Gifts "

.. . . It's a postive book about how people make the

transition from life to death.

It was written by hospice nurses. . . It was

recommended it to us by a hospice nurse when my

father-in-law came to stay for his last days.

The book helped us understand so much. I will never

fear dying again!

Love,

Rogene
