RE: Re: coconut oil/too much Pregnenolone/HRT -- prep fresh coconut

[Guest guest]

Interesting you should say that. I began, last week to gradually include

more coconut oil in my diet. For the past 3 days I've consumed about 3

tablespoons a day (I weigh 115). I've noticed a couple of changes: the

first is that I've started to feel a bit edgy on the edge of irritation and

the second is that, this morning, my stools were floating.

Today, I'm eating parts of a roasted fresh coconut. I punched the " eyes' out

with a screwdriver and then drained the water out. Then put the whole

coconut in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Then crack lightly with a

hammer and wait a few minutes for the coconut to cool a bit. The white flesh

comes easily off the shell that way.

The meat is so tasty. I assume it's good for Candida like the oil is...

Oh Gosh Bee it is good to be back.

I reformatted and re-partitioned my hard drive and reloaded all my software.

I am clean and ready to go.

No I don't take thyroid medicine. I just found out a couple of years ago

that I only had half a thyroid. I found out when I had one of those body

scans. I have had two thyroid tests done and both say that my thyroid

levels are fine. I wonder though.

As far as the coconut oil causing me trouble. This saddens me as I really

love it.

Below is a link talking about the coconut oil containing pregnenolone which

supports the thyroid and adrenal glands.

These are a list of the side oeffects of too much Pregnenolone:

Over stimulation and insomnia

Irritability, anger or anxiety

Acne

Headaches

Possible scalp hair loss

Irregularities of heart rhythm, palpitations

Unknown effects on the thyroid gland or other organs

Well I am also on progesterone cream for my menopause symptoms and I think I

may have been overdosing with the coconut oil.

Since I have a vulnerability with my thyroid this could have made it worse.

Robin,

The Edginess is one of the symptoms that you are getting to much. But I wonder

if maybe it is also a side effect of killing the Candida.

If you start getting palpitations I would cut back.
