Virgin coconut oil is not the only natural product that has the potential to turn Alzheimer’s around. We will cover some other ones, and drug industry efforts to steal some of them, in a future issue.
Alzheimer and Coconut Oil
October 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
How should the drug companies are worried about food supplements into their monopoly profits? Many-as this story will show. Please share it with anyone you know who suffer from Alzheimer’s or worry about it.
Of course, just about everyone worried about Alzheimer’s. When this happened to 5.2 million people in the U.S. and is the seventh leading cause of death. Processing costs estimated at $ 148,000,000,000.
Mary Newport, MD, medical director of neonatal intensive care unit has been at Spring Hill Regional Hospital in Florida since it opened in 2003. About the same time the unit is opened, her husband Steve, then 53, began to show signs of progressive dementia, later diagnosed as Alzheimer’s Disease. “Many days, often for several days in a row, he was in a fog, unable to find a spoon or remember how to get the water out of the refrigerator,” he said.
Coconut Oil and Alzheimer
He found that with Alzheimer’s disease, certain brain cells may have difficulty using glucose (made from the carbohydrates we eat), the main source of brain energy. Without fuel, these precious neurons may begin to die. There is an alternative energy source for the brain, fat cells known as ketones. If lack of carbohydrates, the body naturally produces ketones.
But this is a difficult way to do it-who want to cut carbs from your diet completely? Another way to produce ketones is to consume oil that has medium chain triglycerides. When the MCT oil is digested, the liver turned it into ketones. In the first few weeks of life, ketones provide about 25 percent of the energy of a newborn baby needs to survive.
Dr. Newport learn that an ingredient in the drug trial that showed so much promise MCT oil is derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil, and that the dose of 20 grams (about 20 ml or 4 teaspoons) is used to produce results. When the MCT oil is metabolized, ketones that can be created from the body, according to a recent study, not only protect against the onset of Alzheimer’s, but could actually return. In addition, it also represents a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), drug-resistant epilepsy, brittle type I diabetes, and type II (insulin-resistant) diabetes.
So Mr. Newport, the court can not enter into drugs, started taking coconut oil twice a day. At this point, he could barely remember how to draw a clock. Two weeks after adding coconut oil to her diet, drawing improved. After 37 days, drawing Steve get even more clarity. Oil seemed to “lift the fog,” and on days 61, Dr. Newport saw remarkable changes in him: every morning he was alert and happy, talkative, making jokes. His gait was “still a little weird,” but the tremor was no longer very visible. He was able to concentrate on the things that he wanted to do around the house and in the yard and remained on duty, while coconut oil before he was easily distractible and rarely achieve anything unless he directly supervised.
Over the next year, dementia continues to reverse itself: he was able to run again, reading comprehension has improved dramatically, and short-term memory is improving, he often brings the events that occurred days to weeks in advance and relay telephone conversations with an accurate detail. A recent MRI showed that brain atrophy has been completely stopped.
Let us take a moment to consider what really happened here. Synthetic (patented) Alzheimer drugs have failed. A drug company reluctantly decided to put a non-patentable natural substance (medium chain triglycerides derived from coconut or palm oil) through FDA trials. It works. But, darn it, a smart doctor figures that natural foods can be substituted for the super-expensive drug. Not only that, ketones from natural coconut oil last in the body longer than the version of the drug-eight hours instead of three hours. It is enough to make a drug company began to worry about the future. What if this idea really caught on natural health? Good-bye to gain a monopoly!
Coconut oil can be found at health food stores and even some grocery stores. A large chain selling brand of non-hydrogenated (no-trans fat) from coconut oil in the size of a liter (nearly 32 ounces) for about $ 7. It can be purchased in such a small amount of liters and up to five gallons online. It is important to use virgin coconut oil non-hydrogenated and contains no trans fat. We also would strongly encourage the use of virgin oil (chemicals used to extract non-virgin oil is potentially dangerous, and better yet, organic virgin, still quite reasonably priced.)
Coconut oil is not the only natural product that has the potential to change the Alzheimer around. We will cover some of the others, and the drug industry effort to steal some of them, in future editions.

The Truth of Coconut Oil
October 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
There is a widespread misconception that coconut oil is bad for you because it is increase blood cholesterol and cause heart disease. The “evidence” is only one four-decade long study. This study used hydrogenated coconut oil.
Now note that the process of hydrogenation creates “trans fatty acids” (TFAs), which is a toxic entities that enter cell membranes, block utilization of essential fatty acids (EFA) and inhibit cell function. TFAs also cause increase blood cholesterol. These substances are not present in natural coconut oil and virgin coconut oil.
In other words, a study based on hydrogenated coconut oil has no relevance to non-hydrogenated coconut milk or (virgin) coconut oil you eat.
Extensive studies of coconut-consuming populations such as those found in Polynesia and, showed that “dietary coconut oil does not cause high serum cholesterol or coronary heart disease mortality or morbidity is high.” Another study showed no changes in cholesterol levels than coconut oil. And if it is true that the herpes virus and cytomegalovirus have a role in establishing the cause of early atherosclerotic plaque, coconut oil may be beneficial in preventing heart disease.
the truth of coconut oil
Another reason people believe that coconut oil should be bad for you is the wrong associations of : it is saturated and trans fats are bad for you. Dietary guidelines would fail to distinguish between different types of saturated fats and insist that saturated fats (meaning all saturated fats) are dangerous.
This is not just misleading. This is bad science. Leading scientists now recognize that just because there is good cholesterol, also found a good saturated fats.
Fats are classified as short, medium or long chain molecules based on the amount of carbon they contain. Nearly two-thirds of the saturated fat in coconut oil consists of medium-chain fatty acids.
When we eat the long-chain fatty acids, they must be emulsified with bile salts in the small intestine before they can be absorbed into our bodies. Fatty acids of short and medium-chain, such as those in coconut milk and virgin coconut oil, are charged directly via the portal vein into the liver, where they are immediately available to the body.
In other words, most of the saturated fat in coconut oil is easily digested and converted into quick energy. And types of fatty acids tend to cause obesity because they are directly used by the body and do not have a chance to be saved.
In fact, the real problem fats in our diet are trans fatty acids, mentioned above as a byproduct of hydrogenating fats. Here are some of their side effects: lowering cholesterol “good” HDL cholesterol and raise “bad” LDL cholesterol while increasing serum total cholesterol levels, increase blood insulin levels in humans in response to glucose load, increasing the risk for diabetes; affect the immune response by lowering efficiency of the response B cells and enhance T cell proliferation, interfere with the use of omega-3 fatty acids essential, and increase the side effects of essential fatty acid deficiency.
You get the effect, and more, every time you consume hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, which are present in most processed foods, including margarine, potato chips, baked goods, etc.
Beginning with a flawed study four decades ago, continuing through the 1950s, intensifying in 1980, and again in the 1990s, the misinformation about coconut oil has been announced by economic organizations are motivated like the American Soybean Association (ASA) , Corn Products Company (CPC International) and the Center for Science for the Public Interest (CSPI). They were assisted by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many of the key personnel are recruited from and return to the vegetable oil industry. Previously, coconut oil is widely used in baked goods and fried goods until their publicity campaign, based on erroneous information, totally discredited coconut oil and caused an almost complete elimination of the American diet.
Finally, after years of denial, the FDA and CSPI finally talk about the harmful effects of trans fatty acids, evidence has been accumulating since the 1950s. Nevertheless, they continue to underestimate the coconut oil and does not take effective measures to restrict TFAs, which has been banned in several European countries. TFAs will eventually be listed on food labels, starting in 2006 – why did it take them so long! TFA danger has been known for decades and continues to cause disease! News items from the USDA and the FDA still TFAs bump with saturated fat, natural and contains essential nutrients for our bodies. Current FDA Consumer Guide to Fat last updated in 1999 and consistently warned against (all) fat-saturated, while failing again the harmful effects of trans fatty acids.
How effective is this brainwashing? Many of you would not believe the facts on this page and will continue to avoid virgin coconut oil and coconut milk out of health concerns. Despite the proven benefits. We invite you to investigate further more.

virgin coconut oil benefit
Coconut fruit has a lot of benefits, namely as oil meal or coconut milk in vegetables. However, today there are new findings, namely as a drug. Coconut oil is used as a drug commonly called pure coconut oil (virgin coconut oil / VCO). Various diseases
derived from a virus and have not found the cure can be resisted by consuming Virgin Coconut Oil, such as bird flu, HIV / AIDS, hepatitis, and other virus types. Not only that, the Virgin Coconut Oil can also overcome obesity, skin disease, until the disease is classified as chronic, such as cancer prostate, heart, hypertension, and diabetes.
The benefits are not found in corn oil, oil, canola oil, or animal oil. These benefits are precisely can only be found in virgin coconut oil. A series of research lately a lot to prove that pure coconut oil has a very different role to health than fat saturated other animal or vegetable origin.
In pure coconut oil there is MCFA (medium chain fatty acid). MCFA is a component of medium-chain fatty acids that have many functions, among others, able to stimulate production of insulin so glucose metabolic process to run normally. Furthermore, MCFA also useful in turning protein into energy sources.
Lauric acid and short chain saturated fatty acids, such as acid capric, caprylic, and myristic contained in virgin coconut oil can play a positive role in the process of food into nutrients and energy. Another function of these substances, such as antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoa.
Pure coconut oil (virgin coconut oil) is the most oil healthy and safe compared with other oil group vegetables, such as corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, and canola oil. Virgin Coconut Oil capable of supporting the immune system by freeing the body from harmful microorganisms.
If harmful organisms that feed on the body’s energy can be reduced numbers, the immune system can function better. Virgin coconut oil can provide a source of quick energy and stimulate metabolism. The increase of this energy causes faster healing. This due to the higher metabolism then the efficiency of the system the better the immune system. Thus, the faster your body can heal and repair itself.

virgin coconut oil
October 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Virgin coconut oil is one of the product processed from coconut. Since ancient times, coconut oil is often used. However, in the decade of the 90s, coconut oil is lost from the circulation. This due to a trade war between the manufacturers of corn oil, soybean oil and canola oil from western countries with the manufacturer coconut which comes from tropical countries.
By spreading negative rumors that coconut oil as a source of disease. Many nutrition experts not able to argue the issue so that the dreaded coconut oil. In rural communities, formerly used for pregnant women. It also is used to rub, scrape, and soften hair. Coconut oil is also often used for massage oil.
Some nutrition experts say that the saturated fatty acids can form plaques in blood vessel walls, causing blockage. In fact, not only coconut oil containing acids saturated fat, but also in vegetable oils commonly used for fry. Furthermore, the question is: Are all saturated fats harmful?
Please note that the saturated fat found in virgin coconut oil is a saturated fat with medium and short chain. Chain saturated fatty medium and short very easily digested and absorbed by the body. Precisely in vegetable oils contain saturated fats with long chain making it difficult to split. Thus, causing the accumulation of causing a blockage. For example in soybean oil, peanut and corn oil.
virgin coconut oil
Virgin coconut oil actually has many advantages, 50% fatty acids in coconut oil is lauric acid and 7% kapriat acid. Both these amino acids medium chain saturated fats that are easily metabolized and antimicrobial (antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal) that can increase the body’s immune (immune system) and easily converted into energy. In the body, lauric acid into monolaurin, while acid kapriat become monokaprin. In addition, it turns out the breakdown products of saturated fat chains are rarely stored as fat and rarely accumulate in blood vessels.
Virgin coconut oil had higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids double omega-3 eicosa-penta-einoic acid (EPA) and decosa acid-hexaenoi (DHA), which can lower very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and blood viscosity, inhibits thromboxane, and to prevent blockage blood vessels. Fatty acids in coconut oil contain lots of MCFA (medium chain fatty acids) that serves to improve the body’s fatty acid synergistic ally with essential fatty acids.
By consuming MCFA, can improve the efficiency of essential fatty acids by 100%. Contents MCFA also the same as breast milk, which provides nutrition and protect the body from infectious diseases and degenerative diseases.
Various advantages of coconut oil to make common ancestor hereditary we use them in everyday life. Apparently, they are not proven to suffer from any illness. By therefore, consuming virgin coconut oil is good for health.

Obesity solved using coconut oil
October 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment
MCFA is the largest component of fatty acids in oils coconut. However, these fatty acids are not used in the form lipoprotein and not circulated in the bloodstream like other fats, but sent directly to the liver, and converted into energy.
Fatty acid, It is also easily digested and absorbed by the intestinal wall because of the size relatively small molecules. Thus, to reduce the work pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and does not make fat accumulate in the body.
coconut oil for diet
When consuming virgin coconut oil, straight body use it to produce energy, not hoard it in adipose tissue as body fat. The content contained MCFA
in coconut oil can reduce fat, reduce stack fat, and also encourage the burning of LCFA (long chain fatty acids) causes of obesity. Moreover, MCFA may also alter metabolism to higher levels and burn more calories your body
which are not consumed.
Various studies have shown the benefits of lauric acid for health. Lauric acid and short chain saturated fatty acids and while others such as capric acid, caprylic, and myristic which found in coconut oil was also able solve overweight or obesity.
Medium chain saturated fatty acids found in coconut oil it arrived in the digestive tract quickly absorbed by the intestinal wall without having to first undergo a process of hydrolysis. Furthermore, saturated acids can enter the blood stream to follow taken to heart in order metabolized. In contrast to soybean oil which contains long-chain fatty acids, the body stockpiled in the form of fat because they can not directly be burned and absorbed by the body that cause obesity.

coconut oil good for me?

Coconut oil on generally divided into two categories RBD and virgin coconut oil. The reason is the process manufacture and selection of fruit, which affect quality, appearance, taste, smell and of course usefulness. The difference-making process is very striking and significantly different. RBD stands for “Refined, bleached and deodorized” or oil refined, bleached and removed the smell. Virgin can be interpreted is still pure, no chemical added.
RBD is made from copra (dried coconut meat that the sun or smoked). Appropriate condition, this material is relatively dirty and contain foreign substances that affect the end result. These foreign materials may be mold, soil, trash and dirt other. The process of drying and curing gives a major influence on the final result. Similarly, many fungi greatly affect the color and smell oil. Crude oil (crude oil) can be produced dark brown to gray and smelled rancid sting.
To produce cooking oil and other commercial oils, manufacturers further process to distill use of chemical solvents and eliminate the smell. For this purpose they adding chemicals such as some types of soda (NaOH or KOH). Smell removed by filtering through activated carbon. Of course all this is
affect the viscosity (thickness level), BD (heavy type), freezing point, taste, smell and so forth. In general, what distinguishes the easy is it smells
removed and it was bland. RBD oil can still be used for food needs in households and industry.
Virgin Coconut Oil or pure coconut oil is made from fresh coconut meat. The process is all done in a relatively low temperature. Squeezed fruit flesh coconut milk. Santan is further processed through fermentation, refrigeration, mechanical pressure or centrifugation. Addition of inorganic chemicals and solvents chemical is not used and the use of excessive high temperatures are also not implemented. The result is pure coconut oil that tastes and smells typical soft unique coconut. If the color is pure white and frozen in liquid state colorless or clear.
SUBSTANCE CONTAINED IN VCO
Virgin Coconut Oil is made from fresh coconut without going through the process of heating, contains lauric acid or lauric acid which, according to research results scientifically prove that the lauric acid in the human body transformed into monolaurin and which became the most powerful in killing viruses, bacteria, fungus and protozoa that can deal with virus attacks such as HIV, herpes, influenza and other pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes and helicobacter pyloryd. Virgin coconut oil is good for health.
Besides, as Medium chain Fatty Acids (MCFA) function increased metabolism in the body so as to increase energy and to control weight. Research since 1982 has resulted in VCO products that have proven
scientifically that lauric acid can tackling the disease Diabetes, Cholesterol, Hepatitis C, Coronary Heart, Prostate, Osteoporosis, Maag, hemorrhoid
outside and inside, and Premature aging. Same as found on the mother milk that provides protection to the baby, acid Lauric also needed an adult human.
For an adult human needs These acids on average 24 grams per day, which means the equivalent of three tablespoons VCO in a single day can be consumed three times as much.

Virgin Coconut Oil and Diabetes
September 29, 2010 By 3 Comments
Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar in the blood – it is the principal source of fuel our bodies.
When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present – insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, and lowers the blood sugar level.
Insulin function convert glucose into energy for cells with how to transfer your blood glucose within the cells that need. Glucose in the blood can not be directly used as energy, must first be transferred into the cells through the oxidation process in the cell. In addition, insulin also convert glucose into energy reserves (glycogen and fat). If blood glucose is abundant, will converted into glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles.
While fat stored in adipose tissue, to normalize the levels blood glucose. The content of MCFA (medium chain fatty acids) in the Virgin Coconut Oil capable stimulate production of insulin, the hormone carrier sugars into body cells. In addition, the Virgin Coconut Oil also can penetrate the intestinal wall without enzymes that help cells produce energy faster.

Virgin Coconut Oil is a natural antivirus
September 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
“Virgin coconut oil has features anti virus, anti bacteria, anti fungus and anti natural parasite help control variety disease”.
Dr. John J. Kabara (Universiti Michigan –USA)
The great ability of pure coconut oil is antivirus, antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoa. That is because the content of lauric acid, caprylic acid and capric acid inside. Meanwhile, other oil types do not have antimicrobial properties. People who are infected with microbes and fungi are advised to drink straight coconut oil 3-4 tablespoons per day, taken immediately after every meal.
The oil derived from palm family, containing a natural antimicrobial that patent, such as lauric acid which is equivalent to breast milk, whose levels are 50%, and caprylic acid whose levels are 7%, and capric acid whose levels are 7%. As for other vegetable oils (corn, soybean, sunflower and canola) do not contain antimicrobial altogether.
Lauric acid was first found in palm oil by prof. Dr John J Kabara, from the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacology, Michigan State University, America in the 1960s. The benefits of lauric acid, among others, can kill various types of microbial origin cell membrane fatty acids (lipid coated Microorganism). Nature of lauric acid to dissolve the lipid membrane of the virus so that it will interfere with viral immunity, this will create a virus inactivation.
Some diseases caused by these types of microbes such as HIV, hepatitis C, herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, Strepcocous sp., Stapilococus sp., Gram positive, gram negative, and candida. Meanwhile, caprylic acid found in virgin coconut oil is the potential for deadly fungus (candida) cause of vaginal discharge.
Virgin coconut oil is useful as an antiviral, antibacterial, antiprotozoa, and antiparasitic. The process is very simple, harmful micro-organisms that have cell walls composed of lipids. The cell walls were penetrated by monolaurin that sucked out the liquid inside the cell. Cell shrinkage ensued deadly micro-organisms. This mechanism only applies to bad microorganisms and keep the good one.
