The Benefits of Coconut Oil

Dr. Gerhauser covers the multitude of benefits that coconut oil can bring to your life. Coconut oil is truly the healthiest oil you can consume because it is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal, and contains no trans fat.

What about coconut oil for use as an anti-virul/anti bacterial? Its said to heal viruses from sexually transmitted to colds. What are your thoughts on this.?

[NaturalFoodsDiet]

@lavenderbudtree Monolaurin formed from lauric acid in coconut oil has antiviral, antibacterial and anti parasitic properties. Preliminary studies in humans for infections, I believe, are showing mixed results. It is another possible benefit however. I thought with those properties it would make a good underarm deodorant. I found that for me, it wasn't that effective.

How effective is using coconut oil on the skin compared to ingesting it?

[NaturalFoodsDiet]

@djdfr Coconut oil is great for the skin and hair. You'll see it as an ingredient in many high-end skin products.

@COYOTE165A I'll check it out although I am not big fan of Wal-Mart and Chinese crap they are dumping into our country. Recently we had occurrence of dogs poisonings with the cheap dog food and treats imports. They come to a community. Koll it economically with cheap prices. Than, after they belly up Wal-Mart jacks the prices. They are BASTARDS! Check the video documentary: "Wal Mart: The High Cost Of Low Price"

@Safet Walmart sells Lou Ana brand of PURE coconut oil in a 31 oz jar for apx $6.00 it is no hydroginated etc & it is totally pure.?

[Safet]

@CherishTheChildren -- Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated. It is snow white. I also buy oil which is Organic Expeller Pressed from Wilderness Family Naturals for cooking since this later oil doesn't smell like coconut.

Thanks Doc .. Just when I was beginning to think there was no more professionals out there willing to speak the plain truth. May your practice flourish.

How do you know if the coconut oil is pure and not modified

[green285]

Hey doc, what ingredients would you suggest in a green smoothie?

[danebrk]

I make green smoothies every morning. I open a baby coconut and blend the meat with the water. It results in a beautiful and smooth, creamy consistency which I add to my smoothies. Aside from the fact that I love it am I getting health benefits from this? Thanks
