I would be very interested to know what your outcome was and if you were able to discontinue use of your progestorone cream and did the fibroids dissolve?

Hi, Sara, welcome to the forum. Coconut oil can be used in all your cooking just like any other oil. I only use coconut oil, now. A lot of people think that because it has health benefits it needs to be used as a supplement, or taken directly off the spoon. It is still a delicious and versatile cooking oil, so I think that is the best way to fit it into your diet.

I only use extra virgin coconut oil because it is unrefined. That is the type I use for cooking, and since I have it in the house I am now trying it on my severely chapped lips. I think with all of these threads people are referring to the unrefined coconut oil in all of their posts.

I am very excited to have found this forum and all the info about coconut oil. For over 9 years now, since I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroid, I have not been able to be in the sun without getting sun poison. It's horrible! I used to tan nicely before I started taking levothroxine for my thyroid. SO much to my gleeful surprise, I've read here that the VCO will not only help my thyroid (and possibly assist in weight loss), but it will also help protect my skin from the sun. Way cool! I can't wait to try this!!! Thanks for all your posts! Cassie -------------------------------------------- Original Message: -------------------------------------------- Posted: 4/21/2009 By: lisa If you use coconut oil internally as a food, it also helps you to be less photo sensitive, and to tan rather than burn. Foods high in beta carotene also help. One important fact about vco is that it is NOT a polyunsaturated oil which contributes to skin cancer. The polyunsaturated fats sit under the skin and react with the sun to cause skin cancer. (My nutritionist told me this). So, by using vco as your primary oil, or only oil to cook with, you eliminate this and it is much safer to get out in the sun and tan.

Brandie, the rash may be caused by a Herxheimer's reaction. Read the Candida page under Special Conditions. Very interesting stuff, this coconut oil! HTH, Cassie -------------------------------------------- Original Message: -------------------------------------------- Posted: 5/24/2009 By: Brandie Hello all! I have been taking vco for two weeks.

Thanks.

Mary, I have done a lot of research lately on heavy metals toxicity. My dad was diagnosed with 99% toxicity including lead, arsenic and mercury, and I wanted to find out more about it. Thyroid is also affected by heavy metals. From what I've read, a lot of the problems you're could be related to heavy metals toxicity, which is reversable by chelation therapy. My dad had one treatment and we noticed improvement. He's currently working with a doctor in TN, and we're hoping to see even more success with treatment. You can ask your doctor for a hair elements test. If they refuse, search for Center for Advanced Medicine online and see if there's a doctor near you that will do the preliminary tests. You'll find lots of information there. Hope this helps, Cassie

Does it matter what type of coconut oil, or will any kind be beneficial?

I have been struggling with my husbands nasty feet. Our doctor even prescribed monistat 7 to kill the fungus. I am so in love with this CC oil. I tried some of it on his feet, he taught it was another one of those homeopathetic things that i bought at the Health food store. He was in shock how the oil worked. The next day his feet didn't even itch. I keep on applying it every night to completely kill what ever he has. Thank you very much Tropical Traditions.
