Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Rena, coconut oil is in its' liquid form above 73 degrees I believe, when its' in liquid form, it can be added to bath water, just like the GSE...it simply absorbs through the skin, it's excellent for diapering too instead of talc...it seals and protects. It is known also for it's anti-aging (anti-oxidant) qualities, try in in your bath or shower too. I have curly/frizzy hair, it really works to control the frizz and makes my curls much nicer than they normally are! Peace, Kris > > , > How if at all can it be used to give to children?

My daughter is 14 months old and I want to be able to use it for her as well. You can use it internally or externally. I'm not sure of the exact age (though the many links people gave you will surely have this info) but I believe as soon as your child is eating solids, you can mix in the coconut oil. My son is 3.5 and he's been eating coconut oil for years, as well as coconut flakes, coconut milk and any other coconut stuff I can get my hands on !! It's a superfood really.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 No age limit at all...coconuts and their by-products (milk, meat, oil) have the same medium-chain fatty acids that breast milk has plus they also have lauric and capric acids, just like breast milk, which make coconuts the closest thing to mothers' milk....as far as I've researched and found. So adding it to baths just loads up babies/kids with excellent nutrients. I rub it on their skin as they sit in the bath...mind you it leaves an oily bath tub, rinse with warm water to wash away after bath is done. Towel dry, and you will find an excellent glow on baby!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've seen coconut oil sold as a liquid and as a solid - how can that be? Are they doing something " bad " to it? Which should I get? Can I rub it into my DDs skin after bath rather than during?

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 We use coconut oil about once a week to massage my son, we rub it all over his body and head. That is the only thing we use besides fragrance free powder occasionally and his skin is very soft and no rash or diaper rash ever. This is after his bath. I like it too because it absorbs nicely and it doesn't leave him greasy. I have never seen coconut oil as liquid so make sure to read the ingredients and see that it is 100% extra virgin or virgin coconut oil. If it is and it is liquid still, it must be very warm in the store. Coconut is solid white when it is cool, but becomes soft if it gets warm, and melts completely into a clear oil if it is a bit warmer than that even. I leave my jar of it on the counter and in winter it is really hard, but in summer it is always either soft or liquid. > > I've seen coconut oil sold as a liquid and as a solid - how can that be? > Are they doing something " bad " to it?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 > > Hello everyone, I just bought some coconut oil today and i read that im supposed to take 6T a day...but what im wondering is, does it matter how i take it? I have an aunt who is an organic farmer and also has raw milk and cheese and butter and such and when she takes coconut oil..she heats it up on the stove a little then takes it that way. Is that okay? And how many can i take at once? +++Hi Keri. No it doesn't matter how you take it, but most people have Bee's Egg Drink which contains coconut oil, butter, etc., and also cook their meats in it. It is okay to take it by spoonfuls, but it should always be consumed with complete meals that contain protein and carbs. You need to start with small amounts and only gradually increase it because it is antifungal which kills candida and will cause die-off symptoms - please ensure you are following the article Curing Candida, How to Get Started: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php You will know if you are taking too much because your die-off symptoms will be hard to handle - to understand die-off symptoms see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal2.php I hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have a very allergic family and no one has ever reacted to it. if you are concerned do the tiniest of patch tests first. The beautiful virgin coconut oil is unprocessed and thus smells like coconut oil ought to. It is great for thrush in the diaper area as it contains caprylic acid which makes the skin inhospitable to fungus. It is a safe way to treat oral thrush also. It doesn't matter if it swallowed - many of us eat it. Great for the thyroid among many other health benefits. Search for " Sherrill Sellman coconut oil " and I'm sure her research will set your mind at rest. Mara From: Mark Pheno <markpheno@...> Subject: Re: [Vaccinations-Coconut Oil?

Call it an experiment if you will. I used it for myself and my two kids one day. We were in direct sun for four straight hours. I can tan pretty easily, but I didn't even turn a different shade let alone get burned at all that day. We used coconut oil for so many things right now in our home and I will continue to use it as a sunscreen.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 We finally have an order in place for both centrifuge extracted (raw) and expeller pressed (for cooking) that will ship next week. This will be available for members of the old trad foods warehouse as they easily transition to Freedom Farms Coop. We'll be able to bring in gallons of CE for $48 or less and EP for $38 or less depending on freight. Look for great values on many of your basic necessities as we re-energize the network that is our human health project. Freedom Farms Coop will be moving our headquarters in April and will ask for your support in building new connections to local healthy food. For more info or to secure your needed supply of CO, please - email us at foodfreedom@.... Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised at what this collective effort can do. Be well, Alvin Is anybody ordering Coconut Oil (from either Green Pastures or Wilderness Family) that I could get in on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
