Coconut Cures: Preventing and Treating Common Health Problems with Coconut

I love this book! I had just heard about coconut oil and its health benefits. I was looking for something to relieve the pain in my right knee and leg. I found out about its anti-inflammatory properties and so much more. I found the information to be very helpful. It gets a little technical but not too technical. His explanation of MCTs and MCFAs actually made sense. And the author's explanation of 'healthy fats' versus coconut oil was mind boggling! There are lots of success stories which I found helpful. Anyway, I started putting it on my knee and leg and almost immediately I felt relief. So, I've been using it every day, for about a month, usually putting it on first thing in the morning and before bed. And sometimes before and after my daily 30 minute walk. There are so MANY uses for coconut oil - skin softener, diabetes, hypertension, etc. If you are looking for some basic information about coconut oil BUY THIS BOOK. I'm waiting for my next book by the same author, Eat Fat, Look Thin. It should be here Monday. I hope you find this book as helpful as I did!!

It was very informative. I am giving it a 60 day try and seeing if I can tell the difference on what it does for the body. I have been doing the oil pulling for over a month. I have sinus problems that seem to only happen at night and since I have been Oil pulling I do not have a clogged up nose or sinus draining. I sleep like a baby and do not wake up at all during the night. So that is one thing I have been noticing. If that is all it did for me that would be one #1 giving it a 5 star. I also started 5 days ago on just drinking one tsp of coconut oil daily. Not sure if it does anything for cholesterol so fast but just had my blood test and it went down to 157 from over 250 which is the lowest ever. All the other LDL< HDL< etc... all are improved dramatically. I am now using it as body oil after I shower and it is amazing. Skin is really soft and my liver spots are fading on my hands. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in knowing more about Coconut pulling or healing. Good Luck.

There was so much positive information in this little book. I was completely taken by suprise by the healing properties of this tropical fruit/nut. Good for what ails you internally and externally I just wish I had read this book years ago so I could tell others as well as myself the benefits of coconut. I am very pleased with what I had read and have been using coconut more and more in my daily lifestyle. Today is the first day using the oil to moistuize my body after showering. I have been using it as an addative in my decalf coffee and using it in cooking and frying. I'v also used it in a couple of cookie recipes, macaroons which I love and oatmeal I've also used it this last weekend for my homemade granola which turned out great. I was going to make a pie tonight and I usually use a 1/3 cup of vegetable oil in the crust but will try a 1/3 cup of coconut oil instead.

I know that there are other books so that I cannot say that this is the best one. However, it is an excellent book since it answers most question that you may have in mind, especially the negative ones. It provides actual data where it is needed so that you can analyze the data for yourself.

I think more people need to learn about young virgin coconut water. Must refrigerate and keep in a sealed glass container. it equals blood plasma but for it is a bit higher in potassium chloride and lower in sodium chloride. These are husked with the green shells off and look like a light beige and are shrinkwrapped in stores. They come from Asian countries on Frozen Shipping Containers. Do not buy if pink or mouldy or especially you see them darker as they they are almost a month old. They used these in past wars in Carribbean countries and when our troops were out of plasma they ran an IV up to the unopened virgin coconut(s) and used it for up to six days or more for our servicemen and women. It brings up all the levels in your blood work..Get Bruce Fifes book Coconut Water for Health and Healing. I got that data from the book. Drink one a day and you can get 12-16 ounces of fresh sweet healing water. Open and create a punched hole in the flat end and place the pointed tip into a large soup cup to hold coconut. Dip a Phillips head screwdriver in pure white or apple cider vinegar to scrub tip clean and punch a clean and widen it open so air gets into it and no do not pour it till hole very wide or all the juice will flow onto and in the pulp. also you can put a straw in the hole and suck it out that way if just for yourself,

I have often been confused about fats and oils, what's good or bad and this confusion has led me to eliminate almost all oils from my diet, except fish oil. However upon reading Dr. Fife's "Coconut Cures: Preventing and Treating Common Health Problems with Coconut" book I've been truly educated and enlightened... no more fear or hype. This book is truely informative on many subjects of health. I subscribe to several monthy health pubs and read a lot on health and this book is one of the very best I've read. I've tried several healing applications mentioned in the book and they simply work. If you want to expand your knowledge and understanding of the human body and learn how coconut oil can truly improve your health at a fraction of the cost of expensive, side-effect laden drugs then this book will be a must have in your library and in your life. It's amazing to see how negative media has destroyed a very healthy product and how we have bought into the hype. Besides the healthy, positive benefits of coconut oil, it makes wonderful popcorn that is healthy.

This book is of course main focused on the benefits of coconut but still provides a thorough, in-depth explanation of various health issues, their root causes and how to resolve them. I have studied a ton of modern medical and traditional medical information and yet was still amazed at the direct, lucid reasoning provided by the authors, dispelling all the advertising hype over supposedly heath healthy genetically modified reduced euritic acid rapeseed oil (CANadian OIL, aka canola oil, aka poison), soy and other oils that mainly reduce total cholesterol, at the expense of HDL. The book further addresses all the major heart risk factors, as well as issues such as peroxidation (oil rancidity resulting in the generation of free radicals). I have a close friend with hypothyroidism for the last 16 years who is not using coconut oil to boost her metabolism and is experiencing excellent results. I personally use it for my skin and hair and well as internally for digestive cleansing. At age 46, minor wrinkles are disappearing and my hair is growing back thicker and naturally shiny. I highly recommend this book (and an alkalizing diet as well) for leading a healthier life as various traditional diet cultures have done for thousands of years.

As I was switching channels, I came across a tv ad about oil pulling with coconut oil. That got me curious. I goggled the book and found Dr. Bruce Fife's website. I was amazed at the numerous cures stated by using coconut oil, and the testimonials by so many people. I bought 3 books by Dr. Fife: "Coconut Cures", "Oil Pulling Therapy" and "The Coconut Oil Miracle". They are sooo interesting! I started using the oil in my cooking, oil pulling, and using it topically. I feel lighter, hardly hungry, and my face and body is looking smoother. My tongue has never looked so smooth and clean, my clothes don't fit as tight. I've been using it for about a month. All I can say is "PRAISE GOD". Since "Coconut Cures" and "The Coconut Oil Miracle" contain basically the same information, I gave "The Coconut Oil Miracle" book to my sister Sarah. She's also been using the oil and has noticed many "good" changes. I told two other people about coconut oil and they are also using it. Thank you, Dr. Fife, for sharing this life-changing information to the world. God bless you now and always!!!

Muy bueno

Livro que descreve vários processos de cura de doenças com a utilização do óleo de coco. Livro essencial para todos os interessados, assim como para os profissionais da saúde. Altamente recomendado.

The author proves his extraordinary knowledge about coconut and its benefits in this book. If you want to buy just one book about coconuts, this is the one. Thank you Dr. Bruce Fife.

Untill a little while ago I had never heard of coconut oil. Of course I knew about coconuts, water, dissecated and milk but I had never heard about the oil. Maybe because it is not widely used here in Europe. After joining a site called earthclinic.com I started to get interested in coconut oil but I was afraid to use it because of all the bed publicity saturated oils have had for many years. In order to use it in my cooking I was needing a bit more information so after quite a bit of research I decided to try this book and I found it a great book. I do agree with someone commenting here that the bad health of islanders can't only be due to the fact that they stray from a coconut diet as well as their good health can't have only been because they adered to it, there are many more factors but still the book encouraged me to try. I have to say that my body doesn't react to coconut oil the way most people seem to react, I now have constipation which I didn't have before but the good thing is that you can contact the writer and ask him for advice. I have only started a little while ago, let's see how it goes! This book is well written, something which is not always the case with health related books, doesn't have many repetitions and it is very informative. I was going to buy the Cocnut Miracle but after reading a comment here I decided that this one would be more useful as it also gives advice on other coconut products. It talks about a number of health problems and how coconut oil and other products could help as well as beauty tips. I was also glad that the author didn't cram the book with all kinds of recipes as one can get those easy online if one doesn't have them already and he has a cookery book with those recipes anyway. It is always annoying when authors fill a book with recipes instead of the information you need. I don't mind a few special recipes but well, what I was after was information on coconut products! Now the summer is approaching I will try the oil on my skin in order to get a healthy tan and also against insect bites! If you are unsure about using coconut oil it is really worth reading! Too bad that we are ruled by high interests instead of researchers just telling you what is really good for you. I notice that people are more and more uncertain about what is good for their health and not and that is not a good thing! It time people's interests start coming before the interest of big multinationals especially when it comes to health!
