YUM! AMBROSIA!
By B. Cousins-coleman
After reading several of Bruce Fife's books (and they were wonderfully easy-to-read for the non-scientific type), I decided to give coconut oil a try to help with losing weight and getting my blood sugar under control. As a non-medication taking, recently diagnosed diabetic, I want to try whatever natural remedies I can find to stay off insulin and other diabetes meds, in addition to meds for cholesterol, etc. I tried taking a teaspoon or two with meals and a teaspoon btw meals and my blood sugar numbers were noticeably lower the same day. (Fife says the suggested dose is 3-4 tbs/day). The taste of this brand is fantastic, light and creamy with a delicious coconutty taste! I love coconut so I was able to eat it right from the jar, but I also tried it spread on a Wasa Crisp bread--WOW, what an easy way to get MCFAs into your diet! I will definitely be using this instead of any oils for all my cooking needs (except a little EVOO mixed together with this for salad dressing.) Also, I'm using on my skin and it feels really soft, plus you also get the internal benefits from using it on your skin! GREAT PRODUCT!

I'm very strict with my diet. I eat only organic foods, practice CRON (calorie restriction with optimal nutrition), eat minimal carbs and lots of nutrients. I've tested 4 other brands of organic coconut oil -- Nutiva, Spectrum Naturals, and 2 small scale raw food companies. This one is easily the best so far.
The aroma is wonderful and the texture is much fuller than the other brands. This coconut oil has fuller taste and less watered-down feeling than the other brands. So if you're looking for a good organic coconut oil, this is the one.
Now for some quick facts about how amazingly healthy this stuff is:
1) Medium chain fatty acids --> Digest very easily without requiring the gall bladder to do much. Great for people missing gallbladders and truly everyone.
2) Converts to usable energy very quickly. A much more balanced and less manic energy than any carbohydrate (fructose, lactose, glucose, etc)
3) Anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal. Keeps your digestive system very clean inside. Helps destroy candida and balance intestinal (probiotic) bacteria. Helps the immune system.
4) Longer lasting energy without insulin levels being adversely affected. Fats are the cleanest burning energy for our body. Carbohydrates cause insulin levels to raise and crash, which is what creates the "eat every 3 hours" cravings that so many people this is hunger. Healthy fats, like this oil, will not affect insulin and give us much more stable energy that last longer in the body.
5) Tastes great. Smells great.
6) Can be used topically to make the skin very soft. Is absorbed into the skin to nourish it, unlike most cosmetic moisturizers which leave residue or cause long-term dryness by unbalancing the body's innate skin oil balance.
7) Can be used as a sexual lubricant. Coconut oil is a natural anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial lubricant which helps keep these organs clean and reduce the spread of unwanted problem.
8) Great for hair and can be used as a leave-on conditioner. Like it's skin use, coconut oil will not imbalance the body's natural oils.... unlike chemical-based conditioners. Plus, because coconut is anti-"everything bad" it will keep the hair clean too!
9) Coconut oil detox cleanse. The medium-chain fatty acids make this and ideal food for detox cleanses because the energy is available with minimal digestive effort, plus all of it's anti-"everything bad" properties. The detox cleanse is a 3 to 7 day process where all carbohydrate foods are removed and coconut oil is eaten as the primary energy source (approx. 14 Tablespoons each day). The oil can be combined with organic lemon water as well. You can find the instructions by Googling "Natural News Coconut Oil Cleanse".
Basically, coconut oil is amazing! And this brand is the best I've found so far. Enjoy!

By P. Sutter
I'm new to the coconut oil hype, but so far I can say the excitement is totally founded. I haven't tried it internally yet, but the external use has been amazing. I have keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) on my arms (upper and lower), legs, and butt (yay, me!). I've only ever found one cream by Lush that made any difference, and it was very expensive. Enter, coconut oil! First, you will notice that it comes as a solid (unless the temperature is above 72 degrees, then it melts, which is ok, don't panic). You take a bit and rub it between your hands and it melts instantly. You're going to think first: oh yuck, I'm not putting this on my body! But please do: rub it anywhere and everywhere. You'll notice how at firstit doesn't seem to be sinking in, but if you wait about ten minutes, it will do just that.
I should also mention I have a sensitive skin on my face, which despite proper exfoliating, sheds skin often. I get dry patches that, when at their worst, act like burns that open and are painful. I know, pretty gross. I'm usually cautious about trying new products on my face because it's so sensitive. For years I've been using Eucerin, but it's not always enough.
I through caution to the wind and slatered my face with the coconut oil. It felt pretty gross at first, but within ten minutes it started to sink it. I was nervous that I would wake up in the morning with oil-induced acne, but that didn't happen. What did happens was that it had sunk in completely and my face was the smoothest and softest I'd ever seen. Honestly, I couldn't stop touching my face! Of course this meant my makeup went on better, and I looked...I don't know...I guess the word is well-rested.
Another HUGE bonus is that while the dots on my arms still look like they're there, my keratosis pilaris is all but gone! My arms, legs, (and yes, butt) are the softest and smoothest I've ever seen them. I can't believe this worked! As you're working the oil into your skin, don't forget to rub it into your nails and eyelashes too. I swear my eyelashes look longer andI know my nails are definitely stronger.
Lastly, this product is CHEAP, you really can't go wrong with it. I have two tubs of it, one for my body and the other for my diet (the thought of using one for both grossed me out). I'll let you know how that goes.
Anyway, consider this a five-star, two thumbs way up review!
