I want ot say that the treatment is wonderful, but the data given at the end is false information and is misleading to the consumer. Coco nut oil is a saturated fat yes, but it is a medium chain fatty acid that goes straight to the liver to be metabolized and is used as a form of energy. It does not increase cholesterol and reduces the progression of heart disease. It is actually good for your vie...

It was recommended to me to help memory and I was told it helped lower Triglycerides. After several months on it, I'm not sure it helped my memory. My triglycerides and good cholesterol were the same and my bad cholesterol raised significantly.

I got scaly patches of stress psoriasis on my face that I keep peeling the dry skin off, exposing raw, red skin underneath. The patches appeared about two weeks ago. They may have been prompted by a sun-screen allergic reaction, and sun exposure, as well. I applied both a topical, over-the-counter antibiotic ointment, and organic raw coconut oil on separate occasions, alternately. The ointment did not relieve the scaly, dry patch, which kept returning. The coconut oil has been. The scaly top keeps reforming, but not as it had with the ointment. There is less for me to "scratch and peel" after the coconut oil works, so less raw skin from beneath results. I'll see a dermatologist to make sure I don't have actinic keratosis, but the coconut oil is working magic. I should also probably see a psychotherapist about my absolute inability to keep from picking off the dry, dead epidermis from the patches, knowing full well that raw, red, painful skin will result. :) In the meantime, the coconut oil is doing a good job of giving me relief.Read More Read Less

My Father was diagnosed with psoriasis from the time he was about 50 until his death. I have had scaliness, which looks like his psoriasis behind my ears and beside my nose for at least the past 2 or 3 decades. I have not had a medical diagnosis of it. I, recently, started treating half of the spots with 2.5% hydrocodone and half with coconut oil. I apply both at night. I have found that coconut oil is equally as effective as the hydrocodone ointment.

I started taking about 4 grams (pills) of 'virgin' coconut oil about a year ago to see if it would improve my memory (I'm 62). In my subjective opinion, it has definitely helped my memory, so I plan to continue taking it daily.

This is a serious question. Is coconut oil that you would buy to eat okay to apply on extremities? I heard coconut oil moisturized the skin so I apply it every week or so generously after showering. As far as I know coconut oil contains a high level of saturated fat. Would that be unsafe in relation to libido health? I think saturated fat causes high cholesterol which may be bad for the male extremities...

Vaginal Yeast Infection As I age and my body changes (I'm 43), I've started having problems with yeast infections a few days before my period. It goes away when my period arrives but it's a miserable 3 to 5 days so I'm not willing to just wait it out. Tired of paying for the OTC stuff and not having much luck with it anyway for instant relief, I decided to try coconut oil. My spouse applied the coconut oil (unrefined, organic) topically to my vaginal area and mentioned that the very visible redness INSTANTLY went away and my skin color looked normal within seconds! The relief was also instant. I used some internally as well. The itch did return the next day but the coconut oil again stopped it. The only downside is the mess. The coconut oil quickly melts due to body heat and "runs all over" so I found it was best to just give up with trying to do anything after applying it, and I put a towel under myself and just read in bed for a while. Four stars instead of five because it didn't "cure" the yeast issue but it stopped the maddening itch which is more than I could have asked for! Read More Read Less

pure organic (cold pressed ) coconut oil is great, but has to be used on a damp skin, it absorbs better and quicker

I a 59 year old woman that was overweight, in a lot of pain and on meds for osteo arthritis, on meds for indegestion. I suffered brain fog and I had high LDL cholesterol. I started taking Virgin Coconut Oil in May of 2014. (3 tblsp a day + cooking as well as using it all over my skin as a moisturizer) I lost 50 lbs, I am off all the medications that I have been on for over 20 years, my LDL cholesterol dropped 55% (my Dr wrote contrats on my blood work) I am no longer in pain and the brain fog is totally gone. I highly recommend getting rid of all your processed oils and food. Saturated fats are not bad for you. Go wheat and grain free and get back your health so you can enjoy life. Read More Read Less

I started taking this for a weightless reason. I haven't lost a lot of weight maybe 3 lbs. I've taken it for about 3 weeks. However my skin is flawless my hair is so soft and I never have to use lotion anymore. My bloating is almost gone and it does suppress my apetite so I am pretty happy with it. I take 1000 MG twice daily.

PLEAS use caution when using coconut oil. A small percentage of the population is extremely allergic to it (I am one of them). My wife read all sorts of wonderful things about it. We tried it on my legs and within minutes ALL the skin was chemically burned off my legs from a reaction to pure coconut oil. It has been 2 years now and my skin has yet to grow back. Both my legs are now encrusted/encased with leaking lymphatic fluid because there is no skin to contain it. I am now in a wheelchair and unable to walk because of it. I can not caution anyone enough about using it. As with ANY product, apply a small amount, wait 48 hours and then move forward if there are no adverse effects.Read More Read Less
