Coconut oil has certainly garnered attention for its various health benefits, one of which includes its potential in combating certain diseases due to its rich content of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). These fatty acids are metabolized differently than the long-chain fatty acids found in most other foods. Upon digestion, MCTs head to the liver, where they can be utilized as an immediate energy source or transformed into ketones. Ketones can be particularly beneficial for the brain, offering an alternative fuel source and potentially assisting in neurological disorders.

Moreover, the lauric acid in coconut oil possesses antimicrobial properties, which can potentially help in fighting off harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the body. While incorporating coconut oil into a balanced diet can be advantageous, it's essential to remember that moderation is key. Combining it with a well-rounded fitness and nutrition plan can enhance its effects on overall health. If you're interested in integrating fitness and nutrition strategies tailored to your unique needs, seeking guidance from a professional can be invaluable. Here in Brisbane, I've had the pleasure of working with many individuals, helping them optimize their health through holistic approaches. For those in the area seeking personalized fitness guidance, considering a personal trainer in Brisbane can make a world of difference in achieving your health goals.

I purchased a 54 ounce jar of Carrington Farms Pure, Unrefined, Cold Pressed 100% organic extra virgin coconut oil at Costco Warehouse for around $15. I don't know if it is a regular product or just there for a season. anewbody

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your interest in the coconut oil article. Below is a link to view the ketogenic diet and the coconut oil articles and other resource links on CBN.com. I have also included excerpts from a links mentioned at the bottom of the articles that references the added advantages in controlling diabetes. Thank you for being a part of the my.CBN.com community.

Some medical researchers and physicians are using ketogenic, carb restricted diets to:
• Drive cancer into remission with new and effective cancer treatments. The diet for cancer patients is somewhat different than the treatment for other illnesses. I'm currently writing a more comprehensive guide for those with cancer. Please contact me using the contact form on this website for more information.
• Improve epilepsy treatment outcomes by reducing, and in some cases, eliminating seizures.
• Help patients with Alzheimers disease regain memory and thought function.
• Give diabetics control over their blood sugar with more effective diabetes treatment plans.
• Eliminate gluten allergy symptoms and relieve the symptoms of other allergic conditions associated with autoimmune reactions.
And many people, including myself, have discovered that a ketogenic diet is a very effective tool for regaining health, losing excess weight and building a muscular, healthy body.

We use coconut oil to cook with and take by mouth. The virgin coconut oil is the best, and in cool temperatures it is solidified like crisco oil, but as the temperature in the house increases, it turns liquid. The liquid form is just as good as the solidified form. So take it either way. We use a tablespoon to cook our omlettes.

I bought some at the farmer's market. It was solid like crisco when I first bought it. I used one tablespoon a day. It did help a little. I guess I need to larger dose as suggested above. However, after a while the oil turned liquid. Is it still okay to use? SHould I keep it refrigerated it? How long does it last? It is supposed to be liquid or solid?

I have used it to make biscuits. You can usually find it in the organic department of the grocery store. Spectrum is the brand I have used. It came in a tub and a jar.

My doctor says not to stop using olive and canola oil, but that it's okay to use coconut oil also.

I suggest not using the microwave to melt it - as that zaps nutrients from foods & this oil is a bit pricy for that.....I let (some of) mine sit somewhere warm & it melts naturally. I like it on crackers instead of butter or cheese - tasty! Health foods stores primarily carry it & some grocery stores but make sure it's good quality. I watch for sales.

Please do more stories about people with Alzheimers. As you said, there are many of us out here caring for our loved ones with the disease. We appreciate any help we can get. There is so little of it.

Thanks for your posts. Our CBN medical reporter, Lorie Johnson, suggests starting off with about 2 tablespoons a day and increase gradually to 6 tablespoons a day. It's a great idea to REPLACE ALL OILS in regular cooking and baking (just melt it in the microwave if it needs to be liquid) with the tasteless, odorless kind of coconut oil, such as LouAna, which you can purchase from the oil section of the grocery store and costs about four dollars. Please visit Dr. Newport's website and/or read her book. Both very informative and easy to understand. Dr. Newport's website: http://www.coconutketones.com/
