Virgin Coconut Oil is wonderful for lots of health problems. I have read it also helps skin problems candida, thyroid problems, etc. It is an anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, etc. You can read more at The Coconut Diet - The Health Benefits of Coconut Oil, Coconut-Info.com, and Coconut Oil Cures. (Added 5/14/2011) Coconut oil cured our family from the monotone voice (which is usually a sign of autism) we had all our lives. In March 2007, I started taking it and I gave it to my son. One morning, I noticed my son wasn't monotone anymore. I listened to myself, and neither was I. Coconut oil cured our monotone voices in just over five days. I took about 2 or 3 tablespoons a day (less for my son). Back then, I took it with honey but it made my throat really scratchy. It even helped my left side of my brain. For years, I have felt like that side of my brain was working extra hard. I also felt like my left eye was staring harder than my right side. (Added August 2008: Now, when I am extra tired, hungry, I do get it but once I eat or rest, I'm fine again. No monotone voice.) I even got more energy from using it. I started to bake some with it back in March and my daughter and husband aren't monotone either. Amazing! All of us took unrefined virgin coconut oil and we can talk mostly like normal people. I didn't even know it would help with a monotone voice, but it did. I'm glad it did because I hated to hear myself talk. If you have a child (or yourself), have autism or are in the autism spectrum, please try it. Read more at Autism Treatment Options - Fats & Oils: Coconut Oil. (Added 5/14/2011)

We need to start using more coconut oil in our diets. Hopefully
it will help us out more.
How to take coconut oil
Online I read you need to have the coconut
oil melted in order to take it without being in food. When I do
take it, I
take about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil with about 1 tablespoon of agave
nectar and swish the two together in my
mouth and swallow. (It's different so you have to be willing to
try it.) I have also read you can but it on
bread. (I haven't tried that yet.) The best way to take it
is to bake with it, so try that out. Added 5/14/2011 -- I
have been taking it straight. Just take small swallows at a
time. You might want to start taking coconut oil in small amounts
to start out with and build the amount up slowly.
Coconut oil is an amazing oil! Coconut has lauric acid in it (which is in breastmilk). This acid help keep the immune system built up. It works with colds and flu's . I've read to take three tablespoons a day. You can even eat coconut cookies to help build your immune system back up and to kill the cold/flu by the next day. (It works most of the time.)
