VCO May Help to Live a More Heart-Healthy Lifestyle

Someone in the U.S. has a heart attack about every 34 seconds. A heart attack happens when arteries narrowed by fat, cholesterol or other substances are unable to supply the heart muscle with enough oxygen-rich blood. The American Heart Association (AHA) designates every February as Heart Health Month to call attention to the importance of proper screening and preventive measures. Lately, scientists are discovering that virgin coconut  oil may help them to live a more heart-healthy lifestyle.

Organic Certification For The VCO In Indonesia, Is It Possible?

Although almost all the coconut plantations in Indonesia were never fertilized with chemical fertilizers, but it is difficult to obtain organic certification, why? This is because the location of coconut plantation is generally adjacent to agricultural land use chemical fertilizers and various pesticides that coconut plantation will be exposed to its influence.Location of coconut plantation is quite far from agriculture is likely to be found outside the island of Java, while Java is almost non-existent.

Organic certification that requires for certifying of plantation as raw material sourse and its production processes VCO aspect, will generally be constrained to issue plantation as be described above. Of course this will be very difficult for VCO producers in Indonesia especially in Java who have buyers who require organic certification as above.

The New Health Oils for this Millenium: a bright future for an industry adapted from Jon J.Kabara, Ph.D

Never before in the history of man is it so important to emphasize the value of Lauric Oils. The medium-chain fats in coconut oil are similar to fats in mother’s milk and have similar nutriceutical effects.

Since that time monolaurin has found use in cosmetic, pharmaceuticals and in clinical medicine. Monolaurin as a dietary supplement  has shown extraordinary and exciting results as an antibiotic and as an antiviral agent.
The latter property against lipid coated viruses was first demonstrated by Hierholzer and Kabara more than sixteen years ago. Since that time our studies have been confirmed and extended by others. Literature references for the use of monolaurin are now appearing at an increasing rate showing application in dental cares, peptic ulcers, benign prostatic hyperplasia, genital herpes, hepatitis C as well as HIV/AIDS. After years of neglect by others I have finally convinced the medical community and now important clinical studies are finally increasing at a rapid pace.  

Kabara's prediction at an international conference of the American Oil Chemist Society(1995) that these tropical oil derivatives were going to be the new health oils for the next millennium is coming true. Not only does monolaurin have antibiotic and antiviral activity but also these remarkable derivatives have been
shown not to cause resistance organisms to appear.  In addition, it  has now been shown that monolaurin can reduce the resistance of germs to antibiotics.  

The medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides found primarily in these two tropical oils and mothers milk have miraculous healing power.

Never before in recent times has  recognition of the positive health effects of  tropical oils been stronger. New and exciting health and industrial uses of monolaurin are available and predictable. Monolaurin derived from coconut and palm kernel oils suggest a bright future for an industry that was once referred to as a "sunset industry".  This means that the oil industry must move quickly to modernize itself in making  value added products from these oils which will  contribute to a more vigorous and healthy agriculture future.

Movie Review of Crazy Sexy Cancer By Eli Edwin Casimero

I just saw the movie Crazy Sexy Cancer by Kris Carr and this is my shooting from the hip review, my knee jerk reaction. Actually, I was reacting as I was watching the film. I was once ignorant myself, just like her, in the start of the movie. My so-called incurable eczema was a better teacher, because I could see it everyday, no need for those special diagnostic equipment Kris Carr had to endure.
What first struck me was I could feel and see her FEAR. FEAR was in the air. Just because some doctor diagnosed her with some kind of cancer, there was so much FEAR, fear that this was incurable, that she was going to die. Good thing she didn't try chemotherapy, radiation or surgery as her tumors were beyond reach of their medical technology.
It was painful for me to watch all those ignorant people in the movie... FEAR was killing them. There was one woman who was being consumed by pharmaceutical drugs!
I was unhappy Kris consumed so much grains at the start of the movie... that was a recipe for disaster. I was happy Kris stumbled upon Dr. Robert Young of PH Miracle fame, then the Hippocrates Center. What was unlucky for her was that these were closed minded, low-fat, raw vegan approaches. Raw vegan has a time and place, and it should be temporary. What was unlucky for her was that she hadn't stumbled upon doing the detoxes... she did see the colon cleanses in the alternative healing convention but didn't do it, nor did she do any liver flushes. What was unlucky for her was she hadn't stumbled upon Hulda Clark and parasite killing. What was unlucky for her was she hadn't stumbled on pollution avoidance... she still wore make up.
I don't know if Kris Carr continued to take birth control pills, that would be a big culprit.
I am happy for her that her efforts had put her tumors on hold, but I would like to inspire her that that isn't enough. Never accept disease. Fight with knowledge, fight with self experimentation. Kris is a good candidate to view my Cancer Cure Manual website. Make a checklist of what she has missed.
Kris must know there are levels beyond raw vegan diets, just add raw animal foods (wild ocean fish, grass pasture fed or wild land animals). Kris can go ahead and check her blood with the PH Miracle principles. Raw fruits, raw vegetables, plus raw organic animal foods with internal organs and raw animal fats will give her even better blood, better health.
I didn't see Kris do any fasting. Orange juice fasting would have been great. VCO detoxing would have done her wonders.
Kris must know the pollution avoidance measures needed to have a better living environment. It is still consistent with Robert Young's theories, I'm just saying there are levels of health beyond Robert Young, beyond the Hippocrates Center.
I can introduce Kris Carr to read up on Dr. Hulda Clark for her parasite insights and superb pollution avoidance measures. Then Kris should read and meet Barefoot Herbalist MH for his take responsibility for yourself, self experiment and be your own guru teachings and the very effective orange juice fast. Then Kris can read and meet Aajonus Vonderplanitz to be taught how raw animal foods and raw animal fats can be used to cure cancer. Put them all together and Kris' tumors will all disappear.
Kris has the potential to be a cancer cure guru on her own. Maybe she will make Crazy Sexy Cancer 2: Now Cured.

5 Natural Weight Loss Secrets By Karen Pijuan

If you're reading this, you probably don't need anyone to tell you that being overweight is not only bad for your self-esteem, but is downright hazardous to your health. Pre-mature death as well as many diseases are linked to obesity, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, gallstones and more. However, if you're like most overweight people, you have been trying to lose weight for a long, long time, but have not been successful. Or perhaps you go on diets and do lose weight, only to gain it back again and then some -- the yo-yo diet syndrome that many experts say is more dangerous than simply being overweight. You may be like many people, who become desperate, and use synthetic supplements, drugs or surgery that can be damaging to your health in other ways.
Well, read on for some natural tips we have in this article that can help make it easier than you think to lose weight and keep it off! And if you do it naturally, like we are suggesting, you will most likely end up far healthier at the same time, with more energy and vitality than you've had in a long time*.
Natural Weight Loss Secret #1: Don't Eat Low Fat!
Are you still caught up in the low fat mantra of the past couple decades? Do you think you can't eat much fat if you are trying to lose weight? These ideas are still so prevalent in our media and in the low fat products you see everywhere, that it's no wonder you may still believe this. However, according to the facts, more people are overweight now than ever before, it's being called an epidemic! And this has happened while we Americans cut back from 40 percent to around 32 percent fat in our diet. Low fat diets actually tend to promote weight gain, so add some good fats back into your diet today!
Natural Weight Loss Secret # 2: Add Virgin Coconut Oil To Your Diet
Many people have reported that consuming Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) helps them to lose weight*. They often see increased energy levels and fewer cravings for carbohydrates and sweets*. According to a 2000 report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, you burn off coconut oil three times faster than many other common fats. This is because it's so high in Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs). So try some virgin coconut oil today! Many experts suggest 2 to 3 Tablespoons minimum per day.
Natural Weight Loss Secret # 3: Avoid All Vegetable Oils
Did you know that when farmers were looking for a cheap way to fatten their animals for market, they began using corn and soybean oils? Let me repeat, farmers used vegetable oils to FATTEN up their animals for market! It did work, but they quickly discovered that in addition to fattening up their animals, these oils caused problems with the animals' thyroid glands and they subsequently developed many health problems, including cancer. The fact that polyunsaturated oils encourage tumor growth is well known among researchers. It is also well known that consumption of vegetable oils depresses our immune system, so well known that vegetable oils have been used for intravenous injections to suppress immunity in organ transplant patients. So get rid of vegetable oils in your diet!
Natural Weight Loss Secret # 4: Rev up Your Metabolism by Nourishing Your Thyroid
Research points to an under active thyroid gland as perhaps the number one cause of weight problems in America today, especially among women. That's because the thyroid gland controls body temperature and metabolism, and when the thyroid is sluggish, body temperature and metabolism tend to slow down. You can have an under performing thyroid even if it is undetectable on a blood test. So nourish your thyroid with natural sources of iodine and avoid thyroid blocking foods like soy and peanuts. You may also want to get a fluoride water filter if your water is fluoridated, as fluoride reduces thyroid function. Coconut oil, on the other hand, because of its metabolism stimulating properties, seems to be an excellent thyroid system builder*.
Natural Weight Loss Secret # 5: Avoid All Highly Processed, Refined or Chemically Altered Foods
Some people find they start shedding pounds simply by eliminating the following foods from their diet:
Refined sugars like sucrose, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, etc.
White flour
Vegetable oils like corn, soybean and canola
Artificial sweeteners and fats like saccharin, aspartame and olestra
These foods, besides being bad for your health, have been implicated in many studies as actually causing weight gain, so you really need to stay away from them. They are found in most packaged foods today, like sauces, salad dressings, cakes, cookies, frozen entrees and more. Some people have had a hard time losing weight until they cut out all of these foods from their diets. If you have a problem eliminating sugar, make sure you are consuming enough minerals, especially chromium and vanadium. You also want to make sure that you are getting enough protein and fat, including some coconut oil. These ideas should all help you with your sugar cravings*.

Can Fat Actually Help You Lose Weight? Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil & Weight Loss

Many Say Adding Coconut Oil To Your Diet Can Boost Your Energy Level and Your Metabolism, Helping You To Lose Weight
Coconut oil is high in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), like lauric acid, that have been shown to elevate your metabolism. And that's good news for those of you trying to lose weight. As you probably know, the higher your metabolism, the more calories your body burns, even when you are not exercising. About 50% of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid. It turns out that the amount of energy your body uses to metabolize these MCFAs is greater than the energy that the MCFAs provide, that means you burn more calories than what is in the oil just by your body metabolizing, or using the oil. In fact, scientists have found that lauric acid is the most quickly metabolized of all fatty acids. In addition, coconut oil seems to have a thermogenic effect, meaning it raises your body temperature. This also in turn boosts energy levels and metabolism, and may be why coconut oil seems to be so good for those with low performing thyroids.
Coconut Oil and Weight Loss
Many people have reported that consuming Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) helps them to lose weight. They often see increased energy levels and fewer cravings for carbohydrates and sweets. It's easier for many people to eat less when consuming 2 - 3 Tablespoons of coconut oil per day, because the fats provide a feeling of satiety or fullness after eating that is not generally experienced when eating a low-fat meal. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why low-fat diets don't work in the long-term.
The Body Burns Coconut Oil 3 Times Faster Than Other Fats
According to a 2000 report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, your body burns off coconut oil three times faster than many other common fats. In a 1986 study by T.B. Seaton et al in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who ate foods containing MCFAs (like the lauric acid in coconut oil) increased their metabolic rate an average of 12%, compared to a 4% increase for those eating meals with long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). The authors concluded that adding MCFAs and MCFA-rich foods (like coconut oil) to the diet could "over long periods of time produce weight loss even in the absence of reduced (caloric) intake". Doesn't that sound good? They are saying that you could eat the same amount of calories and still lose weight if you include MCFA-rich food like coconut oil in your diet!
Add Coconut Oil To Your Diet
Coconut oil is nature's richest source of these medium-chain fatty acids, which in addition to increasing metabolism have many other health-enhancing properties. So if you are trying to lose weight, you might want to think about adding coconut oil to your diet. There are many articles out there now in the media touting the "miracle" of coconut oil for losing weight, including one in Women's World Magazine. Although we would not call it a miracle, we do think it has its place in many diets, especially if you are trying to lose weight. In addition, there are other benefits of eating coconut oil, that you may be interested to find out about, that will be the topic of another article.
