It's comes from Thailand, and I've gotten four containers and I have never tasted about fishy or unpure or smelled anything funny and it's just so pure I've never had any problems with it.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hello! Ann here.. I'M the Toronto rep for Bali Sun coconut oil (and I run a local chapter of WAPF as well, that's how I found out about Bali Sun). It really is high-quality and delish. I have been healing from my candida thanks to using it on your regime Bee! I have 473mL, 710mL, 2 and 5gallon sizes available, and I'm located on Spadina south of College (near kensington market). I also have all of Bruce Fife's books on the healing benefits of coconut oil, very useful resources. Too bad the prices are so high in Calgary at the moment. I'll ask Jim Stott (the Bali Sun importer, he's based in Montreal) if there's a rep in that area. Btw, I also give demos/info seminars at health food stores and often have directed the people I talk with to this group (I hope that's okay Bee!). I was writing out the address so often, was thinking of getting a flyer printed up. So, you can reach me for more details at: ann.denny@... and by phone: 416-389-8378 Also, for healers in Toronto that would like to attend WAPF monthly get-togethers, please check out our group here: westonpricetoronto/ Warm wishes, Ann ps hi Maddalena, which store did you get your oil at? That's a very good store price! > ==>I haven't tried Bali because it is soooo expensive here in > Calgary, compared to Extra Virgin CO from Garden of Life - I think it is over $30 for 16 ounces!!!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hello! Ann here.. ps hi Maddalena, which store did you get your oil at? That's a very good store price! ** Hi Ann, I got my Bali coconut oil at Evergreen at the corner of St. Clair and Bathurst. He told me his supplier lives in Streetsville which is closer to me and he'll ask him to drop off my order for me in the future which is great. I will be coming to Toronto in two weeks I will drop in to say Hi if you don't mind. Maddalena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently at the Thailand facility, so closer to my time zone. Jim said that he can organise to send me some Bali Sun VCO directly from Thailand to Australia. He's going to get back to me with prices and freight via sea mail. I'm a little unsure about how much I can bring into Australia, as the AQIS wording is not really clear: http://www.affa.gov.au/content/output.cfm?ObjectID=D2C48F86-BA1A-11A1-A2200060A1\ B01848 " 3. How much food can I import for private consumption? The amount of food a person may import for private consumption depends on the kind of food so please read the following carefully. The amounts allowed per person are: a.. For a food that is in liquid form, less than 10 litres. NOTE: Lesser limits may apply to alcoholic beverages under Customs laws; b.. For food that is not in liquid form, less than 10 kilograms; c.. For concentrated liquid foods that are used in the preparation of other foods and not usually consumed unless as part of other prepared foods, not more than 2 litres; d.. For moisture reduced foods (however packed) other than liquid foods, that are used in the preparation of other foods and not usually consumed unless as part of other prepared foods, not more than 2 kilograms; e.. Spices (however packed) that are used in the preparation of other foods and not usually consumed unless as part of other prepared foods, total net weight of not more than 1 kilogram. " I'm not sure if I can bring in 2 Litres or 10 litres? What do you think? Would you consider VCO to be " food that is in liquid form " (10L max) or " concentrated liquid foods that are used in the preparation of other foods not usually consumed unless part of other prepared foods " (2L max)??? Obviously, it will be more economical to bring in a larger amount to save on freight. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks Jen ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Can you call anyone to clarify how much coconut oil you can bring in at one time? Would your health store know anything about it? It would be a shame to buy it, and then have it turned away.

Would your health store know anything about it? It would be a shame to buy it, and then have it turned away. Bee ----- When I e-mailed in reply to Jim Stott at Bali Sun, I did tell him that I would need to check on how much I can bring in. VCO is hard to get where I live and very expensive. I will e-mail my contact person at AQIS with a specific question but wanted to see if anyone could give their own interpretation on the AQIS policy. My health shop are not really interested in helping me! Sad, but true! Shame on them! They snubbed me on Oil of Oregano and I have been waiting weeks for Pau D'Arco tea (they also gave me a hard time about how I pronounced it!) I have also asked them about many other products and it simply falls into the 'too hard basket' for them. There is one other health shop in town that I just discovered but she is sooooo casual about things, that it is hard to actually get her to enquire for me! The last thing I asked her was about a large order of VCO. She said she would look into it. I am supposed to go back to the shop to check on whether she has done it or not. Would have been nice if she took my phone number and rang me about it. After all, I was asking for a LARGE order! Very frustrating! This is why I look to the Net and import things myself now. Don't worry, I won't order more VCO than I know that I can bring into Australia in one hit. It's all time consuming though Bee but I do hope that my efforts will at least help any fellow Aussies in the Group. Luv Jen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Does anyone know of a resource for Bali Sun CO in the US? I've been looking online and have not found it yet. It would be good info to add to our CO resource list. jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
