Healing Crisis with Coconut Oil

[Guest guest]

Dear All, My husband recently received a newsletter from Wilderness

Family Naturals. It states that some people get worse with the use

of coconut oil before they get better. I think this helps explain

what happens to my son with the use of Lauricidin, especially the

time that I started him on 1/2 a scoop and it seemed he had gotten

and was keeping a bad case of the flu. Here is more of an explanation

from Dr. Fife, as written in the newsletter.

A " healing crisis " occurs when a person actually seems to get worse

before they get better. Many people, if they experience a healing

crisis, immediately stop what they are doing and feel they have had

an allergic reaction or that coconut oil is not good for them. They

think they were getting worse, when in fact, they were actually on

the road to getting well. If there are lots of toxins and pathogens

in the body, as they die off (and especially if they die off quickly)

the body, which is already compromised, has a hard time handling the

purging of pathogens and the dumping of toxins. So an unhealthy

person who wants desperately to get well may actually feel even

worse. I recently talked with a lady who had terrible intestinal gas,

nausea, and an upset stomach whenever she ate the coconut oil. She

also felt very, very tired. She has had mitral valve surgery (and

other heart surgery), asthma, hypothyroidism, digestive problems,

arthritis, lots of food sensitivities and allergies and other health

problems. The coconut oil actually seemed to make her sicker when she

used it. She decided to back off a little on the amount she ate, but

still continued to eat coconut oil. She gradually has increased the

amount she eats each day. She chose to believe that this was a

healing crisis and nothing more. Today she no longer has any

gastrointestinal gas or nausea. She is now up to a tablespoon a day

and is ready to increase her dosage. Her tummy is no longer bloated

and she believes that the problems indeed must have come from

something dieing off in her intestines and toxins purging. Most

relatively healthy people do not see any problems when they switch

over to the coconut oil. However, there are a number of people who

actually feel worse at first.
