Love this! I have just begun oil pulling with coconut oil and this morning tried adding a tsp in my coffee, I am amazed at all the benefits of coconut oil! I appreciate you sharing this!

In reply to jessica. You should be able to use it, I would imagine. If you wanted to substitute with another oil, you could do a 1:1 ratio with vegetable oil, or butter. I wouldn't use shortening though. :)

Sex. You forgot sex. 🙂 it is seriously the best lubricant–my doctor actually recommended it to me! Just try it! 🙂 Wouldn’t recommend with condoms though…not sure how it affects them….

In reply to Pattye Ludwig. Wow thanks for your helpful comment! I've been particularly interested in the alzheimer/coconut oil treatment, because my grandmother is suffering from that terrible disease. I have heard that thought about the low fat diet, and it totally makes sense. I'm definitely going to pass this information on to my mom. :)

You above mention of coconut oil and alzheimer’s and dementia is a very worthy of investigating as so many people sucumb to this horrible disease. There is a lot of research on the connection of low fat eating over the years and these brain diseases. The brain is made almost entirely of cholesterol and it seems that too many years of low fat eating may lead to the shrinkage of the actual brain and these diseases. Our body NEEDS cholesterol and coconut oil being so very high in good saturated fat is appearing to possibly slow down or even reverse some of this damage. Every hormone we make requires cholesterol for the body to make them. There are videos on youtube by Dr. Mary Newport who’s husband has alzheimers and her effective treatment of him with coconut oil ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iScs0uzQZFk ) .

Thanks for all the fantastic links. You don’t have to buy coconut oil in liquid form because the stuff melts fast. I put mine in the refrigerator and it got really hard. I put the jar in my microwave and quickly there was enough to pour onto my frying pan. Now I just keep it in the cupboard. Last night I rubbed into my scalp and put on the rest of my hair. I put a towel on my pillow so I could keep it on all night. Today I rubbed it on my feet and legs. I put it on my face last night and just washed it off after 30 minutes. In a few I have to take a shower to get the stuff out of my hair. It’s all greasy now but I know it will help my thinning hair. 🙂
