And What do you do with Coconut Oil?

I am recuperating from being very sick. I have been asking questions and doing research on how to get and stay well, and what food to eat. This article is the first of 30 from my research.

This post may look like a health food article, or a cooking article or how to lose weight article, that should be ignored, but it is my encouragement for the use of coconut oil.  I don’t sell it but I did benefit from it. The fact is, because of coconut oil I am able to write this.  I was very sick which I will cover later but my sickness was because of my diet.  My diet was the Standard American fat-free diet , void of nutrition and full of sugar.

I write this as a warning to all that can read; be very careful of the government agencies the FDA and USDA recommendations when it comes to food.  Also a warning of the current medical practice, for it too is being controlled by groupthink.  The AMA is more concern for the bottom line then concern for your health or welfare.  The Food Pyramid has been in effect since the 1930’s way before any O care.  If you want to stay healthy and fight the fight for your country, you better pay attention to what you are eating.  Because suddenly, someday you may get very sick too. Read my blog, I have a story to tell.

Now back to ---- What do you do with Coconut Oil?

And what do you do with Coconut Oil? You cook with it. You eat it. You drink it. You rub it all over you and you might even give it to your pet.  You may sleep with it on your hair or skin – It may not help you with the common cold but will help with just about everything else. Coconut Oil is not a cure-all but it sure can help.

Coconut is a nut or better yet a seed. Besides eating the meat (dried, flaked, shredded, and whole), you have coconut cream, coconut oil and coconut water.  You have coconut butter, sugar, vinegar, coconut wine, and more.  You can find coconut in grocery stores, health-food stores, or Asian markets.

Currently, I am recouping from being very sick, run down and overworked. In my attempt to regain my years of lost strength, I have been asking questions and doing research on how to get and stay well, and did the food I eat cause my illness?

I have been completely blown away by what I have found.  A neighbor of mine had an article left from a friend’s son who had just retired from the CDC.
