Coconut oil is made from the pulp of coconut. The flesh is chopped [into
coconut flakes], then the flakes are dried and squeezed in a mill
[web10].
The melting point of cold-pressed coconut oil is about 25 degrees Celsius [web13].
Spots of coconut oil on clothes one does not have to wash out but they are disappearing on its own in 2 days [web14].
Coconut oil is a basic food in the South Seas
Natural, cold-pressed coconut oil is healthy and makes healthy. It is a
natural oil unlike oils that require high technology to produce. In the
South Seas coconuts are a staple food and guarantor of health since
millennia of years. Diabetes, cholesterol problems, heart attacks or
strokes are unknown there [web01].
Coconut oil is easily heated, because it does not form pollutants (free
radicals) up to 177 degrees Celsius. It is the only oil that can be used
for roasting without provoking problems [web11].
Coconut oil can be combined with good food, e.g. with honey or jam [web11] [or with chocolate].
In a big style coconut palms were planted for the first time on Ceylon under Dutch colonial rule in the 19th century [web10].
Coconut oil and its medium chain fatty acids
Coconut oil is very easily digestible, regulates blood lipid levels, has
an antimicrobial effect (applied internally and externally on the
skin). 1 coconut consists of about 35% coconut oil. Coconut oil consists
of more than 90% saturated fatty acids [web01].
Coconut oil is consisting above all of:
| Lauric acid: |
44 – 52 % | medium-chain fatty acid, has the strongest effect
|
| Capric acid: |
6 – 10 % | medium-chain fatty acid, having an effect
|
| Caprylic acid: |
5 – 9 % | medium-chain fatty acid, having an effect
|
| Myristic aci: |
13 – 19 % |
|
| Palmic acid: |
8 – 11 % |
|
| Stearic acid: |
1 – 3 % |
|
| Oleic acid (monounsaturated FS): |
5 – 8 % |
|
| Linoleic acid (polyunsaturated FS): |
0 – 1 % | [web01]
|
Coconut oil is thus - as the only natural oil in the world - of far more than 50 percent of medium-chain fatty acids [web01].
Measured differently: 100 ml of coconut oil contain [web13]:
- Carbohydrates: 0 g
- Energy: 3607 kJ (862 kcal)
- Protein: 0 g
- Cholesterol: 0 mg
- Total fat: 92.3 g
- Proportion of saturated fatty acids: 86.5 g
- only lauric fatty acid (dodecanoic acid): 36.8 g
- monounsaturated fatty acids: 5.8 g
- polyunsaturated fatty acids: 1.8 g [web13].
In addition to lauric acid there are other acids:
- Myristic acid: 13-19 g
- Palmic acid: 8-11 g
- Capric acid: 6-10 g
- Caprylic acid. 5-9 g
- Oleic acid: 5-8 g (monounsaturated fatty acid)
- Stearic acid: 1-3 g
- Linoleic acid: 1 g (polyunsaturated fatty acid) [web13].
Medium-chain fatty acids are easily digestible even without bile acids
[web01], that means that if the gallbladder is eliminated by an
operation, coconut oil is NOT making problems [web11]. The medium-chain
fatty acids (medium chain triglycerides, MCT) are rare, and coconut oil
is exactly of those [web12]. The medium-chain fatty acids of coconut oil
are water-soluble, they enter the bloodstream and the liver without any
problems. In the liver, the medium-chain fatty acids are converted into
energy, and they are hardly applied as fat deposits. Coconut oil causes
weight loss [web01].
Coconut oil and the other ingredients: minerals, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, etc.
Coconut oil also contains:
"Minerals and trace elements
Here are to mention mainly magnesium, calcium, potassium and phosphorus
as minerals. Added to this are the important trace elements selenium,
iron, zinc, copper and manganese.
Vitamins
Vitamins, B, E, and K are the important vitamins with which the oil can score.
Amino acids: tryptophan, lysine, methionine, leucine and isoleucine, phenylalanine, threonine and valine.
" [Web13]
Coconut oil lowers the body's vitamin E requirement [web05].
Coconut oil lowers the body's vitamin E requirement [web05].
Native, cold-pressed coconut oil retains the essential antioxidant
components that then remove the pollutants (free radicals) [web05].
"Oil pulling" - absorption of ingredients passing mucous membranes
"Coconut oil is the best choice because it contains two very strong
antibacterial fatty acids, which are particularly well absorbed by the
mucous membranes." [Web07]
Not only does this keep the mouth clean and healthy, but it also strengthens the immune system [web07]. Quote:
"It even goes so far that the Ayurvedic doctrine, which is
practicing oil-drawing for thousands of years, assumes that it
positively influences and strengthens the immune system. For example
certain reflex zones are located on the tongue thus oil pulling can have
positive effect to various processes inside the body and can stimulate a
detoxification of toxins. " [web07]
Terms: natural, cold-pressed coconut oil
The terms for cold-pressed coconut oil WITH coconut flavor are: cold-pressed, native, 1. cold pressing, natural, virgin [web03].
The coconut oil should be cold pressed and in the glass:
"The oil should be packaged in a glass and have organic
quality. And in addition, it should be a native, cold-pressed oil,
because then, the product still has its valuable nutrients." [Web06]
Coconut fat with or without coconut flavor
There are certain producers eliminating coconut oil's odor "deodorizing"
it. In trade, this coconut oil WITHOUT coconut flavor is called
"coconut fat" [web03].
Carefully produced coconut oil without coconut flavor (fragrance)
Coconut oil can be treated gently with steam (not refined), so that the
coconut flavor disappears, but many nutrients are preserved. The lauric
acid content can still be 50 to 52%. But the heat-sensitive vitamins are
partially destroyed (especially vitamin E [which is rebuilding the skin]) [web03].
Industrially produced coconut fat without coconut flavor (fragrance)
Industrially produced coconut fat WITHOUT coconut flavor (scent) (brand
of "Palmin", "slab fat" etc.) runs under the terms deodorised,
fractionated, without flavor, refined, hardened. This industrial coconut
fat WITHOUT coconut flavor (fragrance) usually liquefies only when
cooking [over appr. 50 degrees]. It contains hardly nutrients any more
and has a much higher melting point than natural and cold-pressed
coconut fat. In addition, it may contain harmful trans fatty acids
[web03] and vitamin E is missing [for rebuilding the skin] [web10].
Storage
Cool, dark place, but not in the fridge [web03]. Coconut oil does not
turn rancid, because the fatty acids are inert and do not oxidize. So
it's durable for a long time [web04].
The effects of coconut oil (virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil)
1) Coconut oil is like a cleanser: neutralizing pollutants (free radicals)
"Coconut oil acts as a protective antioxidant and counteracts damage of free radicals." [Web02]
As an antioxidant, coconut oil protects against aging [web08].
[Coconut oil has got the effect restoring blood circulation and
metabolism as it was duirng adolescence, and organs, glands and nerves
are healing].
Coconut oil is absolutely healthy and NON-toxic [web08].
2) Improving the absorption of nutrients and vitamins etc.
Coconut oil has a cleansing effect so the absorption of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are improved:
"Coconut oil has the ability to multiply the absorption of nutrients
from the food to which it is added, and studies have shown that adding
coconut oil to food of whatever type can improve the absorption of
vitamins, minerals and minerals antioxidant additives." [Web02]
Coconut oil "helps to absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K." [web08]
Gastrointestinal diseases: coconut oil eliminates parasites + fungi,
heals irritable colon, facilitates the absorption of vitamins, minerals,
amino acids [web08].
3) Coconut oil reduces inflammation
"In addition, it [coconut oil] has anti-inflammatory properties and is able to calm violent inflammation." [web02]
Cold, flu: coconut oil has an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect [web08]
Coconut oil has an "antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal effect" [web09].
"Coconut oil creates a milieu that bacteria and fungi do not like. The
base for Inflammations and fungal infections is eliminated." [web09]
4) Coconut oil activates special proteins that repair the nerve cells (brain is repaired)
"It [coconut oil], when consumed in the body, initiates a series of
reactions that trigger the activation of special proteins that stimulate
the growth, the repair, and regeneration of the nerve cells. And because the eyes are, so to speak, the prolongation of the brain and because retina itself is a part of the optic nerve,
coconut oil can help against all eye diseases and cure common eye diseases. " [web02]
Combined effects with healings of "incurable diseases"
Coconut oil heals among others: epilepsy, Alzheimer, Parkinson's and other nerve diseases [web02].
Quote: "Coconut oil has also proven to be remarkably successful in the
treatment of epilepsy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurological
disorders." [Web02]
[So: coconut oil heals vaccine damages AND heals the eyes - it's is simply not so cheap].
5) Coconut oil eliminates viral infections: HIV, herpes, influenza, cytomegalo virus
Coconut oil eliminates "the
AIDS virus, the
measles virus, the
herpes simplex 1 virus (HSV-1), the
vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), the
visna virus and the
cytomegalo virus." [web01]
-- in the human or animal body, lauric acid is converted into monolaurin (a monoglyceride against viruses and bacteria)
-- viruses with lipid shell ("enveloped viruses") are above all
destroyed by the monolaurin: the monolaurin destroys the lipid shell of
AIDS viruses, herpesviruses, influenza viruses, cytomegalovirus
-- in the human or animal organism capric acid is converted into
monocaprin (a monoglyceride, inactivating viruses in vitro as for
example monolaurin:
HIV, herpes, flu, cytomegaloviruses) [web01]
-- the medium-chain fatty acids of coconut oil also eliminate
chlamydial sexually transmitted diseases [web01].
6) Coconut oil eliminates fungi and fungal infections
--
the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil are inhibiting fungi and are eliminating
fungal infections of all kinds internally (intestinal fungi) or
externally (skin fungi, fungi on mucous membranes in the mouth, vaginal
fungi, etc.)
-- capric acid eliminates fungi from Candida albicans, e.g. when these are provoked by teeth protesis
-- in in vitro experiments capric acid and lauric acid were destroying Candida stems [web01]
-- "The fatty acids [in coconut oil] lauric acid and caprylic acid therein fight fungi in a natural way." [Web07]
7) Coconut oil eliminating bacteria
The medium-chain fatty acids (or their monoglycerides) eliminate or inactivate the potentially pathogenic bacteria such as
Haemophilus influenza,
Staphylococcus epidermidis,
Streptococcus, etc.
The positive intestinal bacteria are not destroyed by the medium chain
fatty acids of coconut oil, e.g. Escherichia coli is left untouched and
is persisting [web01].
