The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss

[THE eXchanger]

good organic coconut oil, is worth its weight in gold

we buy NUi type, IT'S about $40 for 1000ml
(and, sometimes, it goes on sale for $29)
it might be sold on ebay ???

and, we might go thru one tub, in a year

(it is amasing on body skin / and, hair -although we like neways products
for skin care/cleaning etc., www.ineways.com/workingwonders)

we look mid 30's at 50+

on the subject of cost - i'd rather get front loaded early
and, be over 50 with NO problems,
than, be 29, and, be a wreck, due to what we have eaten

my brother-who is only 46-is a wreck
his wife, who is only 40-is currently carrying about 60% body fat
and, both of their kids, are always sick

you only need to eXplore, their diets, to know why

ALSO, what you wash your clothes in,
rubs up against your skin

for every silver filling you have - add, 1 type of dis_ease to your rooster
that will eventually manifest

and, the quality of water - that is likely, THE MOST important

drinking about 1 oz of water, for every 2 lbs of you

more, if you can handle it

(and, surprisingly those who say, i can't drink water, because,
i have to go to the bathroom too much)
remember this, if you got to pee,
it is because, something is in your body,
that NEEDS to get out

did you know, diahara happens, so, you do NOT double process
things, that are harmful to you, so, in fact, if you ever get that
it is actually GOOD !!!

IF that stuff continued on its way, through the lower channels,
you would likely get very sick, and, might even die

IF you explore - bulk buying; and; making many things organically
yourself - it is actually cheaper-to cook things, from scratch
(and, NOT get them, from a box)

also if you muscle test - organic greens vs, reg. greens
you can immediately; sense the difference between them

you can also muscle test-absolutely anything,
even just holding the bottle it is in, to discern,
whether or NOT, something would be good for you

iT iS Better, to pay attention NOW, rather than have to pay attention later

For about a year now, I have used beans, nuts, seeds,

I can't seem to find much negative info about legumes
via Google.

Much thanks...

I don't eat them because I don't like they way I feel from eating them..they feel dense and heavy like grain........many people have ommitted grains and beans from their diet for health purposes (following a lower carbohydrate type approach...) Grains and beans and even beans alone (without eating any grain in the diet as I have experimented) dlways made me feel tired and weighted........for denser foods I eat yams/winter squash on occasion and while being high in carbs/sugars I found that if I stick to half of one am fine.

I also stick to food combining 100% of the time........

Tropical Traditions is running specials now on coconut oil..........http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/vi...oconut_oil.htm

Also don't forget other fantastic health giving foods made from coconut.......

Coconut creme......coconut water.........coconut mylk (which I make from dried raw coconut shreds) coconut kefir - absolutely fantastic for the gut/immune system........

Coconut is very versatile.......and yummy.........use on skin.......use for oil pulling (we do this every morning)............

Pets love it in their food....my cats go crazy for coconut oil/mylk........and it's really good for them.........

Oh, I forget to mention that taking one's temperature same time every morn upon awakening is a good measure of what's going on with body.

Eleni,

Thank you for the detailed reply. This makes sense, as beans do have
alot of carbs in addition to the protein.

I understand they can also present challenges for those battling
Candida.

All my friends and relatives who are "A" blood types and especially of East Indian origin friends seem to thrive on a variety of beans, legumes, lentils.

This is interesting, because I had my blood tested about a year ago
and found out that I was also type A. At that time I replaced alot of the
meat and animal protein in my diet with plant based foods. Since then,
my health had improved a great deal. I have made alot of other changes
as well, but this was significant.

On topic, I have had coconut oil recommended by a good friend that
does health consulting and I have recently started putting it in my morning
fruit smoothies-which is why this thread caught my eye.

There are no coincidences!

Some oils are essential for brain. Such as borage oil. Any other oils?

Dr. Mercola really touts krill oil as the best fish oil.

[mu2143]

All my friends and relatives who are "A" blood types and especially of East Indian origin friends seem to thrive on a variety of beans, legumes, lentils. Personally I think my body would sicken if I ate beans as much as they can.
My mom was "A" blood type and I was always sickly until I left home and started eating more meat.

When I do eat adzuki beans or black-eyed peas or lima beans I soak them and discard the water.

Softly boiled (or raw) meats and cold water fishes make my body purr along. It's not a religion or moral choice, just a practicality of genetic preference.

Just discovered pumpkin seed butter -- yummy. Even better when extended with butter.

Besides what you are doing now, what else is your body telling you to do or not do?

I don't have Type O blood but I do have a family history of thyroid issues.

The meds I take seem to be sufficient enough and they don't interfere much with my life. I get more energy, better sleep patterns and weight control from them. Maybe I'm alright then?

very interesting discussion.

I'll try coconut oil and see what comes of it.

thanks for the information.

One of the Thyroid problems is related to iodine if you do not have enough of this stuff you always feel cold, like cold hand and feets.

And the other problem if you have heavy metals in your system then you need to detox you body from it. kombucha is one of the way, but if search on the net for it you find many ways thing that can help.

MSG is one of thing that í'm trying not to get in to my system

I did a lot of research in to health and food that how I found out the truth on what going on on this planet. What I noticed that the normal docters in holland knows nothing about health.

But it is your body you should take care of it not some doctor there useles to me anyway! onless your going for a docter who is trained in the natural medicine. Not junk syntectic stuff that destroys your health and supressed the problem not solving it.

I hope you do not have Amalgam Fillings. get them removed will help a lot

This is a good doctor the one cured desiree jennings that Cheerleader that got disabled by the flu shot.

RE your mention of heavy metals, found that liquid zeolite (when processed correctly) wonderfully removes heavy metals. I also did an enlightened version of oral chelation. Hubby takes some Spirulina every day to remove heavy metals. Seriously, ladies, heavy metals contributes to facial wrinkles.

Same here, have no use for doctors and I live better and longer being my own doc. Will occasionally visit a good Naturopath. However for spiritual clearing/healing, that's another matter, and I do feel I need someone I can trust to work with me on that. Maybe that will change later too.

Well I don't want to go on a gluten-free diet because that essentially translates into spending even more money on this organic "fad".

Organic is a fad? Organically grown produce has at least 3 times the nutritional content of non-organically grown produce. Non-organic produce is completely devoid of all essential trace minerals and is sprayed with highly toxic pesticides which can accumulate in your cells.

Then why is it more expensive to buy such foods? When you don't have the ability to grow them, it adds up over time.

If such foods costed LESS than their GMO versions, perhaps more people would have access to them?

Use one level tablespoon of Thyme to one pint of boiling water and steep for twenty minutes. After cooling and straining it, suggested recipes say to drink two cups a day. The tea also works toward cleansing and building the blood lymphatics and the thyroid and thymus, in addition to assisting in the elimination of radiation poisoning!

Great thread and thank you for all those helpful tips. By the way, to Gregor Aurturo and mu2143, just in case, Sumeria is the name of the place or civilization in spanish lol

Hey Shift Monkey,
I certainly agree that the questions you raise should be asked. I just felt that detoxing is a much larger topic than coconut oil can deal with on it's own. Your additional information of mercury in relation to the thyroid is worth noting. Also, I think everyone should be actively detoxing, even people without thyroid problems or sluggish metabolism.

Using coconut oil is my health tip #1 because it is easy and gets results when eaten uncooked. Getting people to actually try, and stick with, new things can be extremely difficult.

My mercury fillings were removed 2 or 3 years ago. At the time the first filling was removed (my holistic dentist recommended the most electrically active filling should be removed first) I felt an instant electrical response in a lower leg. In the following days there was a noticeable lessening of "anger" in my thoughts. I do recommend this too.

I'm with you my friend. I know that getting people to try and stick with new things is difficult. My own siblings do not see the big picture. But all we can do is offer the information.

I can't even begin to tell you the mental and emotional improvements that I felt after the mercury was taken out of my head. I have a long way to go though. It will take several years of detoxing to get it out of my central nervous system. I had quite a few large fillings that were all over 30 years old and I am dealing with a severe toxicity that has taken a toll on my liver/gall bladder and kidneys.

By the way I think coconut oil is great! I put coconut butter in my oatmeal and it's awesome. The one I buy is a raw/whole food made by Artisana.
