Coconut Oil

I am a newbie all the way from Hong Kong my adoptive home - relocated from South Africa. Am gluten free but also live my life with Hashimoto thyroiditis. I introduced coconut oil into my diet about 3 months ago - started with one tablespoon of oil per day and worked my way up to 6 per day. It has made a huge difference to me and also rub coconut oil onto my skin. I have also eliminated all raw foods, no soy, fungi and sugar. Fruit- mainly have berries that has been frozen for 14 days or longer - this enables any parasites or worms not always visible to the eye not impact on the gut. I make my own Kefir and start my day with a Kefir smoothie. Found my symptoms to be far less since I follow a healthy gut regime. The Hexemer or die off effect was quite bad the first few days but today feel much better and in the process lost a lot of weight not what I really wanted but now can slowly work my back to gaining weight again.

Smoothie conists of half a cup of fresh Kefir, handfull of berries, 1 spoon of Colon cleanse, 1 ground tablespoon of Chia seeds, 2 tabelspoons of extra vergin Coconut oil, the yolk of 2 raw eggs - ensure to drain the egg yolk out of the little white bag and do not use the stringy little bag. This smoothie is high in Vitamin K1 and K2, works as an anti inflammatory, kills worms and parasites and supports healthy elimination.

Looking forward to learn more and share personal experiences

Welcome to the forum, that was a great post so I look forward to reading more from you and I may try what you wrote about. One suggestion I thought of is that you may want to sterilize the eggs before handling them. Those of us with intestinal problems are very succeptable to being infected with harmful bacteria from the outside of the eggs. Sterilize your hands also after handling them. A food wash with a disinfectant would be good or you can use diluted ethyl alcohol, vodka works fine.

Caprylic acid, derived from coconut oil, is a natural antifungal, antiparasitic, antibacterial botanical treatment. I used a capsule form of caprylic acid to erradicate the Enterobacter Cloacae in 2007 and the Achlorobacter bacteria in 2010. So taking large amounts of coconut oil daily may just give you longterm protection against intestinal fungus, parasites and bacterial infections. With my history of those kinds of infections, I probably should also be consuming more coconut oil! I suspect that would have less side effects (like bloating and cramping pain) than taking caprylic acid capsules AFTER I get diagnosed with intestinal infections.

Great idea!!!

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
