Treating acquired focal keratoderma & using coconut oil as a part of the ex with 40% urea cream & heel & crack cream...seems to be effective

I'm using for skin and scrub. I must say It's the only thing that seems to make my skin feel like its not dying for thirst... Now I'm reading on all the other ways it can be use. So far completely satisfied..

i have not seen results yet I'm experiencing sharp pain in stomach either it's fending off a bug or I need to get used to it I am taking it in the candy form CO, cocoa, honey mixed.

JUST STARTED

I have bad psoriosis on my legs, I have used numerous treatments from cortisone, triamcinilone, olive oil, baby oil, lotions, almond oil, aloe, you name it and I have tried it. I get very frustrated by people without this disorder always having a "great cure" for my genetic skin disorder. However, my wife bought this stuff and I started applying it twice a day. I have huge spots maybe 3-4" across and 8-10" long and this has started to clear it up over the course of 4-6 weeks. It reduces the irritation and keeps the inflammation down. I love it, it is very cheap also compared to other treatments.Read More Read Less

I have been taking 1-2 tbsp of coconut oil per day for 3 months. I use it in place of butter on my morning muffins. I have been losing weight since I started without doing anything else other than drinking more water. This stuff is great!!

As a post menopausal woman I have gained a little weight around the middle (waist, thorax). Exercise, while helpful, did not get rid of it.I have now been taking 2 tablespoons of coconut oil daily for i month.I mix it in oatmeal or other warm foods.It is noticeably helping. I also do about 15 minutes of Pilates core strengthening exercise. I am very happy with it. I also use it after I bathe and on my face and neck at night. My skin is much more even and moist. Marks I had under my breasts, which many women have where the breast over hangs, are gone.Read More Read Less

I went to the bathroom about 5 to 6 times a day and eventially My bottom burned so bad and the only thing that helped the burning go away was corn starch.

I'm eating extra virgin coconut oil for Parkinson's,(3 tablespoons per day). I experienced improvement in my ability to eat with my right hand 2 hours after eating 1st tablespoon of coconut oil, since then my dry eye condition is gone. plus brain fog is gone which is a part of Parkinson's!! Dick

Started taking VCO at the suggestion of a medical professional. On meds HDL never made it over 40. With Meds and VCO HDL is 41 and holding. though no weight loss yet, the midsection seems to have improved. I noticed pants fitting loser. Skin is softer and nowhere near as dry as it was before VCO.

i have dermatitis all over and peri oral dermatitus. i started using vco on my face and body twice a day and im impressed with the results. at first it caused a flair up of dermatitus on my face so i stopped and for a couple days and used aloe plant to calm my skin then put vco back on my face. it cleared up and even cleard my blackheads off my nose!

I use coconut oil for my skin. Instead of purchasing an expensive, scented, skin exfoliator, I take a gob of coconut oil and a teaspoon of brown sugar, rub in my hands and rinse. It's delightful. I am a Holistic Health Coach in Washington state and I've been a healthy living advocate for at least 30 years. I don't understand this new trend with people using coconut oil for cooking. Several years ago, massage therapists started to find their choloestral levels went sky high. They used cocounut oil for treatment, it was absorbed into their skin. I also don't find any supportive evidence that coconut oil, even though it is a "medium chain" fat, is actually doing any good. In one of my lectures, an instructor said that we should only take cocounut oil if it is combined with the actual coconut. Read More Read Less

I am using coconut oil taking 1-2 Tbl daily orally as well as rubbing on my skin for psoriasis 2-3 times weekly. I only bathe in a tub now and apply apple cider vinegar to my psoriasis after I bathe. It has been less than 2 months and there is 75 percent improvement, I have a scar on my knee and this is the first time I have seen it in over 5 years. By the way I have or had I should say had serious psoriasis from head to feet, since the age of 2 and 50 years later I just may have found my cure! Praise God! Read More Read Less

Have lost 22 lbs since mid-March. Curbs appetite, cures sweet tooth, no more bread cravings! Also sleep better than ever since starting this. Blood pressure down, more energy, feel great. I use LouAna pure coconut oil both for cooking and by the tablespoon 3 times per day.

I started out taking virgin organic UNREFINED coconut oil for a boost to my weight loss program. (I was working out several days a week and I had cut back on calories but was only loosing a pound a week, which I thought wasn't enough for all the effort I was making.) After rigorous research, I added approximately two (2) teaspoons of VCO (unrefined) to my diet, taking one spoon in the morning and one in evening. I began to lose approximately five (5) pounds a week. Amazing. I also noticed I had more energy (metabolism boost?), my appetite (and craving for sweets) decreased, and I felt healthier in general (combination of the oil, working out, diet change I'm sure). When I fell off the coconut wagon, the difference was very noticeable. My cravings for sugar returned, my weight ballooned upward again, less energy etc. Not good. I'm slowly getting back to the routine, minus the gym work outs. This time I will be walking and adding free weights (at home). (Side note: I keep my jars of coconut oil in the fridge and scoop it out in chunks, which I chew. So the 2-teaspoon measurement IS approximate.)Read More Read Less

I used extra virgin coconut oil on two patches of psoriasis I have had for years applying it after my shower, I noticed they were less itchy right away & had completely faded in just over a month. I also used it to treat a mild case of althetes foot by applying 1x a day, it cleared up in a weeks time. I now have my boyfriend using it twice a week to treat his dandruff, just massage it in to the scalp leave on for 20 mins then wash your hair as normal...no more stinky dandruff shampoo is needed :) I love this stuff!Read More Read Less
