Re: Thanks Sheila /coconut oil recipe/sources of coconut oil

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure I should be answering this post, but I mentioned the

coconut oil, so maybe it's okay. I use a virgin coconut oil. I cook

with it and eat it unheated too. In the nut and coconut mix I enjoy,

I do not heat it at all, just stir it in.

A friend of mine bought a huge bucket of coconut oil and I have been

buying a quart of it at a time from her. If you have someone to split

a bucket with you it helps bring down the cost per pound.

If I had a chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation near me I would

join it in a flash. The members know where to buy the types of whole

foods needed for better health. They help one another and have

potlucks and meetings. There is a list of them at

www.westonaprice.org. Maybe there is one near some of you.If any of

you ever wanted to, you might be able to find someone there to divide

an order of coconut oil or other nutritious foods. I buy coconut milk

this way too.

I have found it difficult to find like minded souls who want to eat

the way I do. You know, no refined foods and no highly processed

foods, only the great tasting grass fed meats, raw milk, farm eggs

and properly prepared nuts and grains and other nutrient dense foods.

Like many things in life it is easier if you have friends who support

one another. I have never seen any candida support groups, but it

might be big help to be in one while going through the process of

getting candida back in balance. Does any one belong to such a group

in their community. Thank goodness there is this wonderful web site!

Thanks!

The reason I asked is the coconut oil I purchase is solid (well a soft

solid) it isn't liquid. So I wasn't sure how that worked.

Hi Candace,

Coconut oil seems to melt at about 75 degrees F. When I buy it, it's

usually cooler than that in the store and it's solid. It's been warmer

than that in my apartment most of the summer and is liquid most of the

time. I imagine it will be solid during the winter.

I buy mine in a gallon pail and leave it in a cool spot of my kitchen. I do

pour some in a small container and put it in my refrigerator because I like to

eat it sometimes when it is cold. Scraping layers off with a spoon. It has a

slightly different taste cold than room temp or even liquid. sometimes I will

liquify it in the microwave and drink it down..........trying to get in my 2-3

Tablespoons a day. I can see where you could use it liquified or semi soft

(like shortening) to mix up almonds etc. into it.

I really like dried coconut too.

Dear Jeanne,

I noticed that you microwave your coconut oil to liquify it. Did you

know that microwaving anything, even water, changes the molecules in

it and when consumed damages the immune system? Do a search using

microwave at www.mercola.com for more info on how damaging

microwaving and irradiation of foods is. The best use of your

microwave is to sterilized sponges and to heat up gel packs. lol!

Coconut oil will quickly liquify if you place the container in a bowl

of hot water.

I hope that helps,

Bee

So water can be even damaged? Is this for real?

I've wondered about this myself. There isn't a whole lot to water and I

wonder what changes could possibly occur in it. At least it doesn't get

turned into ice-nine! :-)

Dear Zack,

See my reply above with reference to an article " the Proven Dangers

of Microwaves. "

Water contains many minerals and enzymes.

Zack, how are you doing these days?

The best,

Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

Welcome back! I hope your computer is good for another year at least.

They don't seem to be designed to last too long these days.

Thanks for that data on the microwaving of water. I can see how it would

affect the other things that are in ordinary tap water. Being an

electrical engineer who specialized in microwave engineering, and with

more of a physics and chemistry background thamn the average EE, I really

got curious about what happens to water when it's microwaved.

I've been going through some changes and I don't know what to make of

them. I have periods when I feel great, and I actually had one a week or

so ago for over a week. They seem to last longer. But in between I

don't do so well. I started having back pains that started in the center

of my back just below the shoulder blades and moves around from there to

the lower back. It doesn't seem to stay in a constant place. I've also

been having a lot of pain in my intestinal area and lots of gas that comes

and goes. Also, my urine, which has been mostly clear for months, has

taken on a light brownish color. I don't know if these are things I

should be alarmed at, but I'm hoping they are just part of the healing

process. I don't recall having any of those before.

There's definitely a correlation with humidity and this illness. Today

the humidity went high here and I feel pretty miserable. Just a kind of

" bad all over " feeling.

On the brighter side, I haven't had brain fog much to speak of in a month

and almost no fatigue symptoms.

I stopped taking any antifungals except for pau d'arco tea for a few weeks

and noticed I didn't see any of the " white stuff " in my stools. I started

using grepefruit seed extract a couple weeks ago and the " white stuff " has

returned. I got some oil of oregano but haven't used it yet. That stuff

is expensive! (at least where I bought it). $17 for a half an ounce seems

pretty steep. Are there any cheap places to get it?

>>>Welcome back!

==>Thanks a bunch. It's good to be back.

>>I hope your computer is good for another year at least. They don't

===>Ya, I know what you mean. Nothing is designed to last too long

these days. It makes money, but causes disposal problems on this

planet.

>>>Thanks for that data on the microwaving of water. I can see how

engineering, and with more of a physics and chemistry background

thamn the average EE, I really got curious about what happens to

==>Did you agree with the info? Were there any outpoints in it, or

the reference?

>>>I've been going through some changes and I don't know what to make

week or so ago for over a week. They seem to last longer.

==>That's good you feel good for longer periods. That means you are

making gains eh?

>>>But in between I don't do so well. I started having back pains

that started in the center of my back just below the shoulder blades

and moves around from there to the lower back. It doesn't seem to

stay in a constant place.

===>Those pains would be very uncomfortable for you. No fun. Zack,

I have an unproven theory that pains that move around are candida

toxins moving around trying to find places to invade. As you become

more healthy it is harder for toxins to find weakened places to do

its damage. Maybe that's not the case, but it seems to make sense.

What do you think?

>>>I've also been having a lot of pain in my intestinal area and lots

of gas that comes and goes.

===>Do you think the pain and gas that comes and goes is the result

of detoxing? It could also be die-off. I'm getting that off and on

a lot lately as well. I just pray it happens when I'm alone. lol!

>>>Also, my urine, which has been mostly clear for months, has taken

on a light brownish color.

==>Are you eating any foods that could color your urine, like beets

or carotene containing foods? If you don't have any difficulty

passing water then there may be nothing to it.

>>>I don't know if these are things I should be alarmed at, but I'm

hoping they are just part of the healing process. I don't recall

having any of those before.

===>It seems there are changes going on with you fairly

consistently. It does appear to be part of the healing process. If

any one thing stayed too long then you might take a closer look at

what is happening. Otherwise, change is a good thing eh?

>>>There's definitely a correlation with humidity and this illness.

Today the humidity went high here and I feel pretty miserable. Just

a kind of " bad all over " feeling.

===>I noticed that too when I lived in Toronto last time I had

candida. Thank goodness Calgary has very low humidity. It seems

candida loves humidity like most fungi.

>>>On the brighter side, I haven't had brain fog much to speak of in

a month and almost no fatigue symptoms.

===>Very very well done Zack! That's progress my friend.

>>>I stopped taking any antifungals except for pau d'arco tea for a

any cheap places to get it?

===>Oil of oregano " is " expensive. Whew! I don't know of any cheap

places to get it either. But in the case of oils the price

determines quality too. I decided to not buy it again. But I found

out that clove oil is just as powerful as oregano (maybe more), and

you can buy it real cheap at the drug store. It's sold as a

toothache remedy. I bought an 8 ml bottle for only $3.99 Canadian

(take 5 drops in 4 ozs. of coconut oil or mixed in warm water 3-4

times a day). I also bought certified organic ground cloves for

making tea.

Keep up the good work Zack.

With warm regards,

Bee
