RE: Coconut oil helps adrenal problems

[Guest guest]

According to Enig, a researcher very respected in

BTVC circles, Coconut oil helps adrenal problems.

As well

as being a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and

anti-viral. It

also helps to stabilize weight (although that process still

seems *magical* to me - in the sense that I'm not yet

understanding

the chemistry of the process and feel I have to take it a

bit on faith.)

>>I can attest to coconut oil helping me lose and then

maintain my weight – in the past. I have been eating it on and off since 2003

and usually between 3 to 6 tablespoons a day. I also agree that it can help

your adrenals, however, it’s not an answer to everything. I currently have

incredibly high cortisol and have trouble sleeping, despite eating coconut oil

every day. High cortisol can have many causes and if the cause is for example

an adrenal or pituitary tumor, then I think coconut oil will not help. However,

overall I believe coconut oil is excellent for your health, skin, metabolism,

and a natural way to fight against viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

If you interested in that process – and the whole process of how

the body turns food into energy – read Life Without Bread by Wolfgang

Lutz and Christian Allan (mentioned here the other day). They advocate a

low-carbohydrate diet and describe why the body needs that, and much

higher amounts of protein and fat, and thus why such a diet is helpful for a

whole range of ailments. And why such a diet actually helps thin people to gain

weight and heavy people to lose weight. Some of it’s a bit technical, but I

found all their explanations very helpful. The body processes are obviously the

same whether you’re on that diet or the SCD. Also, they talk much more than

Elaine Gottschall does about what to expect when you start such a diet. (Theirs

differs from hers, as the poster the other day said, in that it allows up to a certain

amount of carbohydrates of all kinds, not just monosaccharides.)

Your public library may have a copy of the book. One of the

libraries in our area library network had it (and BTVC as well), though the

tiny village library nearby here didn’t. I requested both and had them within a

few days.
