I love my coconut. Not only one of my favorite good fats, coconut oil is also one of the only moisturizers I use on my face. Other natural products I use for my skin include sesame oil and jojoba oil, but coconut wins my prize for best feel, best smell, and best results.
"Coconut is considered a medicine food by many ancient civilizations. Civilizations that consumed coconut regularly had no knowledge of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Some of the healing properties of coconut oil are:
antiviral, antifungal (kills yeast too) and antibacterial. It attacks and kills viruses that have a lipid (fatty) coating, such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, the flu, and mononucleosis.... It kills the bacteria that cause pneumonia, sore throats, dental cavities, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, food poisoning, pneumonia, and many, many more bacterial infections. It kills the fungus/yeast infections that cause candida, ringworm, athletes foot, thrush, jock itch, diaper rash and more."
Wow. For only $10 bucks, this is an event you shouldn't miss. Support a great non-profit organization AND learn more about this fantastic medicine food.
