Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 P56 for 1 liter is not a bad price. We sell 1/4 liter at P200 and this is a-one no heat vco. About mYself Im M(47, residing in cebu Philippines. Im new on this group. Just last Dec 2004 I started using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). regularly I take it 1 tbs spoon 3x a day. somtimes mixed it with my fresh carrot juice in the morning. All my 3 kids do love the VCO in their juices also, including my wife. I only came to know the benefits of the VCO when I read the book of Dr. Bruce Fife. We are also using it as our hair and skin lotion, of course at night. We dont want to smell not so good to others. We make our own VCO, although we also buy it from stores. But in Cebu, Philippines, it is a bit expensive at US$1.0 per 1 liter. Coudl you help me find another source. Until then. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 your price is incredible. Here it is about seven dollars us per 16 oz.( mary@... ) I would have a back yard full of coco nut trees except I understand they won't grow in the snow. --- P & M Banagal <pbanagal@...> wrote: > Tony > > Mura pa din yan.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 `My internest put me in the hospital for pheaumomia,but they thougt it wqs the bad kind like aids patients get, The lund specialist looked at me and said she does not have that. He dis some testing and said it interstercial (spelling) lung disease, caused from the RA. , My breathing function was in the 70;s , and I also did have pheaunomia, I had to stay on oxygen at home to help my lungs heal, I finally got off the tank the end of Sept. He sid not to fool around with colds or flu, to get right to the doc, either him or my internest, He said eventually I will have to to steriods for it, but decided to wait as long as I could as I am diabetic, When I went back to my rhummy after this happened she said, and i quote " Oh Shit " <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: I'm happy you decided to tell us more about yourself, .

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 , I am another one of those people " lucky " enough to have diabetes along with RA. I believe there are several of us here. You can tell from your rheumy's response that she does care about you, LOL.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 So sorry to hear that, . Were you on any medications at the time you developed interstitial lung disease (like methotrexate or gold)? Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I think I am very lucky right now with doctors, My new rhummy seems good, and I know that I trust my internest ( my GP ) the internest is the one who insisted I go to this Rhummy even though she is not in that clinic, I also like the Lung specialist I have been seeing. But I like the fact that when ever I see someone at the clinic here my rhumy faxes them wanting ti know what is going on, she wants to keep updated about general health as well.
