Nutrition, Diet & the Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Nothing kills more People than Food

What would you do if your doctor would tell you that the particular disease you are suffering from is caused by the food you are eating?

What if doctors insist you stay away from cancer causing chemicals such as sodium nitrates, which numerous studies have shown cause colon cancer, leukemia, brain cancer in children and other diseases?

Sodium nitrates are widely used in processed meat products to keep them looking fresh. Would you follow your doctors' advise and forever pass up on the hot dogs and hamburgers?

Would you change your diet if your doctor told you that many of your favorite easy-to-cookand-serve processed foods, pizzas, potato fries, white bread and restaurant fast foods are responsible for heart disease, plugged-up arteries, diabetes and arthritis? These foods are nutrient depleted, are made with refined flour and white sugar and loaded with bad fats,
shortening, and partially hydrogenated oils. Packaged and convenient foods, baked goods and cookies, fried snack foods, refined and hydrogenated oils, commercial salad dressings, most chocolate bars and candies all fall into this category.

Knowing this, would you adopt a natural whole foods diet with a great percentage of organic fresh raw foods?

Since most doctors nowadays are drug-oriented I am not even sure if you would find one, who would honestly tell you that you "you are what you eat" and that you had develop a health problem because of your diet. To the greatest extent your physical health depends on good nutrition.

When talking about health, today's doctors are more likely to say, "Food has nothing to do with it". However, epidemiological studies and statistics support observed knowledge that our health is dependant on nutritious whole food and that the main cause of all  degenerative diseases is to be found in a poor diet of manufactured, refined and denatured food. The worst offenders to vibrant health are white sugar and refined vegetable seed oils.
However, you might find a few doctors amongst today's new breed of doctors, who agree
with Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician (460 BC - 370 BC), who was considered one
of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine.

This Father of Medicine said, "let food be our medicine and medicine be our food." In my research I discovered about a year ago a doctor, who is ardently concerned with the healing aspects of medicinal food, especially interested in one particular dietary fat that has been proven to be most beneficial in all the degenerative health conditions that plague the well-to-do western societies.

Prof. Dr. Conrado Dayrit. Came to my attention through an announcement in the Manila University Newspaper, where he was honored with a special prize for his new book The Truth about Coconut Oil. In it he discusses the discoveries he made during his work at the University Hospital. As unbelievable as it sounds, he found in the first formal study he directed, that the virgin oil in coconuts aids the body in destroying dozens of harmful viruses including hepatitis C, herpes, and HIV. The highly promising results of his studies are now the basis for continued trials planned to alleviate the suffering of millions in countries such as Africa.

I had a conversation with Dr Dayrit and he confirmed that natural unrefined Virgin coconut oil does amazing things in the human body. I learned that in his clinical studies he discovered that Virgin coconut oil reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease,
as well as the risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions.

Because virgin coconut oil supports immune system functions it helps control diabetes.
Virgin coconut oil consists of medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) wherefore it provides
an immediate source of energy and supports healthy metabolic function, supplies fewer calories than other fats, promoting weight loss and preventing obesity.

Direct micro expelled (DME) Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a healing food. When used topically,
it helps the skin stay soft and smooth, preventing premature aging, wrinkled skin and other blemishes; it even protects against sunburn and skin cancer.

DME Extra Virgin Coconut
Oil has a mild delicate flavour. While it is highly resistant to spoilage (long shelf life), this
natural oil is heat resistant, making DME Extra Virgin Coconut Oil the healthiest oil for the kitchen. If you're not using DME Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for your daily cooking and body care needs, you are missing out on one of nature's most amazing health foods. I urge you to discover the great healing aspects of Virgin Coconut Oil. This wonder oil falls short of a
miracle: go to our blog on the Health Benefits of Coconut Oil.
