Coconut is the BOMB when it comes to healthy

Coconut OIL is the BOMB… when it comes to healthy FAT Way back in the day everybody thought fats like coconut oil were unhealthy and contribute to diseases and other disorders including heart disease. Well you know, there are many unhealthy fats but coconut oil is not one of them. Don’t we all love our favorite fats? In fact, coconut oil is actually a heart, brain healthy food that can keep your body running smoother inside but also can keep your body oh so soft on the outside. It may even aide in weight loss!


I use it every day, since I have started using it, wow, wow, wow, have I seen a huge difference on the outside and felt an amazing difference inside! The many BENEFITS of COCONUT OIL The scientists are hard at work researching the many benefits of coconut oil. Current studies show that the intake of coconut oil can help our bodies mount up a powerful resistance to viruses and bacteria, which can make us very sick. It also can help to fight off yeast, fungus and candida. You know, in some countries they say cancer is a fungus. Could coconut help cancer victims and perhaps stop this deadly disorder?


Coconut oil is a natural antibiotic, the body will actually recognize it as an aide that is there to help. Not like a synthetic antibiotic, the body sees synthetics as fakes or un-natural or something that is not supposed to be lurking around inside. All drugs are toxic, that’s why they have to be regulated by the FDA. The body wraps all toxic chemicals in a cocoon of fat. That’s why we don’t eat the fat of animals. Toxins are stored in the fat.


Coconut is also a natural antimicrobial, germs just can’t grow in it. Talk about a healthy hand sanitizer! I will use coconut oil any day over toxic hand sanitizers loaded with alcohol, they just put a bigger burden on your already over worked liver and adrenals. We need to just face it, our environment is just down right toxic! Toxins are everywhere! From the gas pump, our water, our food, our personal health care products, make up, toothpaste… literally everywhere. We need to be aware of what we are eating and putting on our skin day after day! Once in a while won’t hurt, but over time day after day of extended use, these toxins affect us in ways we do not even realize.
What’s COCONUT OIL have to do with CHOLESTEROL and HORMONES? Coconut oil may also positively affect your hormones. People who take coconut oil may experience improvements in thyroid function and how their body handles insulin and controls blood sugar since coconut can help improve insulin, naturally within the body. Coconut oil can boost thyroid function helping to increase energy, metabolism and endurance. It may aide in digestion and help to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Coconut taste great, it is great to cook with or just add to your favorite drink.


Why s coconut oil one of the best fat for your body? Coconut oil has lauric acid in it which increases the good HDL cholesterol in the blood to help improve cholesterol ratio levels. Coconut oil lowers cholesterol by promoting its conversion to pregnenolone, a molecule that is a precursor to many of the hormones our bodies need.


 We are hormones from the top of our head to the soles of our feet. Most people know about estrogen and testosterone, only 2 of the many hormones that your body has to make. Insulin is a hormone, a very important hormone. When your body runs out of minerals, your body can no longer make hormones, when the body can no longer make hormones, the gland systems begin to fail, once the glands begin to fail, well it’s not long and all the vital organs are seriously compromised. This is the natural way the human body shuts itself down and dies. So keep taking those vitamin and minerals, BUT... don’t run out to the vitamin store just yet. You need to educate yourself on supplements. Check out my “Questions to ASK about Supplements” BEFORE you buy any supplements. You may be doing yourself more harm than good.
Coconut can help restore normal thyroid function. When the thyroid does not function optimally, it can contribute to higher levels of bad cholesterol. How does coconut help keep weight balanced? Coconut are not only delicious, but they have special fats called medium chain triglycerides or MCTs. Breaking down these types of healthy fats in the liver leads to efficient burning of energy.


The body needs something for fuel and I think coconut oil is perfect fuel for the body. I love it in my protein shakes every morning.
One study in 2009 showed that women who consumed 30 milliliters (about 2 tablespoons) of coconut oil daily for 12 weeks not only did not gain more weight, but actually had lowered amounts of abdominal fat, a type of fat that is difficult to lose, and contributes to more heart problems. Who would of thought coconut is a perfect fat and perfect MCT for your body.
We all need help with healthy aging! Coconut oil has a positive antioxidant action in the body. This means they help our body stop the damage to other healthy fats and tissues in our body. Oxidation is considered a major contributor to cardiovascular problems and skin aging. Coconut oil can actually help our bodies reduce the need for antioxidant intake.


Some studies are showing tremendous results for Alzheimer’s patients and brain injuries. The brain is 15% oil and it desperately needs a healthy oil on a daily basis. I think it may have unbelievable benefits for the brain.
Coconut oil is great for skin, hair and ears! Coconut oil is a wonderful moisturizer for skin and hair. I love it in my bath water too, along with my 35% H2O2, lavender and Epsom salts. Let me know if you want to get a copy of the One Minute Cure and the article called “The fountain of Youth”.


Coconut oil has good amounts of the antioxidant vitamin E,
which is very powerful and protective. I use it every day. Always look for cold pressed, virgin, organic coconut oil. Coconut oil on your skin will put a protective coating on your skin helping to reduce the absorption of toxins and pesticides through your skin. Clay it on after a nice hot soak in the tub, not only is it great for you but coconut oil is great for baby after a bath. It is the only option for me. Baby powders and lotions are loaded with chemicals.


 A study in 2005 with 120 babies showed that a coconut oil massage is safe and has numerous health benefits. How can I use coconut oil?
Coconut oil works in many recipes like baked goods. It taste great in bread recipes, I even use it in my bread machine to make breads, especially good in zucchini and banana breads. Coconut oil is great to fry foods in, like stir fry or any vegetables. I love to saute’ onions and garlic, where it offers a surprisingly different and delicious flavor. You can make a whole dish of onions and just garlic, it is quite amazing. Add a spoonful in your coffee or pile on your oatmeal to make it even creamier texture, while staying healthy.


 Unlike olive oil, coconut oil doesn't become toxic when it gets too hot. Coconut oil can withstand high heat – making it my only cooking oil. NO FAT, LOW FAT…what? No fat, low fat foods have gotten us all in trouble. Your body needs FAT, healthy fat, as I said for fuel. Having healthy fats and plenty of protein is a wonderful way to control blood sugar, stave off mood disorders and depressive feelings. Really… something that does not have SIDE EFFECTS?


Most of the literature today claims that coconut oil is quite safe. Of course we have to use common sense, you can overdue it with anything. I normally use at least 3 tablespoons a day. While no formal study has figured out the exact amount for optimal benefit, it appears one to two tablespoons a day can be beneficial. Who knows in twenty years, scientists may just discover coconut oil was the original fountain of youth! My Favorite Guilt Free Desert’s Try these powerful protein shake recipe.

Healthy Lungs, Happy Life



Every day, our lungs are bombarded by toxins, such as environmental pollution, allergens, dust, cigarette smoke and microorganisms. These can lead to scarring and can clog the air-exchange system. We clean out and change our air filters in our home but what do we do for our lungs and respiratory system? Don’t wait any longer. Start cleaning & protecting your lungs today! You can start by:

1. Performing yoga deep breathing exercises for 30 minutes every day.

2. Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower. They are packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants are your lung's only defense against free radical damage.

3. Increasing your intake of foods containing high amounts of vitamin C.

4. Do inhalations with essential oils of rosemary or eucalyptus twice or three times a week. Their therapeutic effect help relieve congestion by breaking up unhealthy mucus buildup.

5. Herbal medicines. Herbalists have long known that a  healthy and unrestricted respiratory system, free from allergic reactions, allowing the lungs to fill completely with life-giving oxygen, is critical to optimal wellness, and that certain herbs work to support the respiratory system to help prevent periods of imbalance.

If you want to turn to herbal supplements to support your respiratory system, you can check out - http://bit.ly/1Ab4dnu

We can’t control the air we breathe but we can start taking good care or our lungs to keep it healthy and strong. Don’t wait getting a health fix until you experience breathing problems.

Over 84,000 TOXIC chemicals

Everybody is eating and drinking every day more toxins and chemicals than you can imagine. With over 84,000 toxic chemicals in our environment, staying healthy has become a tough task. At least 2,100 known chemicals are in our drinking water, 150 at the gas pump, who knows how many if our food and with more being introduce all the time, no one can keep up, including scientist. The average consumer is unaware of the poisons we all are consuming everyday, I know, I didn't.

I was buying organic food, bottled water and vitamins, trying everything to stay healthy.

I thought I knew what I was doing. I listened to credible doctors, worked in a hospital lab, read books, went to numerous seminars over the years trying to keep up and woke up one day, only to find I had been wasting my money.

Until you understand how the human body works and what it needs to stay well, the difference between natural and organic, the difference in synthetic supplements and whole human food supplements, it’s impossible to stay well and without the right "recipe" no one can fix it.

What does my body and car have in common?

Have you ever taken your car for repairs to someone who is not a mechanic to fix it? Of course not, they can’t fix it without the internal knowledge about the multiple systems that make that car go. It’s all connected together, just like your body. If just one thing goes wrong, it doesn't work right. Oh sure, the radio knob can break and many small things can go wrong and the car will still go down the road but not at optimal performance or functionally the way it was designed. Put diesel in a gas motor and watch what happens. You won’t be going anywhere. They are both fuel for vehicles, but there is a big difference in them. The human body is the same way; you have quadrillions of processes going on at the same time. When all the systems do not function the whole body begins to wear out, break down and eventually fall apart. When it comes to our car or anything in our home breaking down, we get it fixed immediately. Why, when it comes to our health, do we neglect it until, it’s too late or it’s a major challenge to try to fix it? The bigger question who can really fix it? What does it take to really fix it? The human body can and does heal itself when given what it needs. It's actually quite amazing!

Think about it!

Just 100 years ago, many of the chemicals being used today did not exist, at least not in a known form. These are some of the questions we, as the consumer should be asking: Is organic really organic in 2015? What keeps a baby carrot or those bagged salads from turning brown? What happens inside our body when we consume chemicals? Where are all those drugs everyone takes ending up? Why does the FDA regulate drugs and not supplements?  Why all the talk about GMO's, what's the big deal? Where do food and animals get their water? Here are a few of the answers: The water animals drink is the same as we drink, full of the same chemicals and toxins.  Most produce is treated with pesticides with an oil based petroleum added to the pesticides, that water doesn't wash off, even foods labeled organic. Is there a guarantee that there are no pesticides on the food? Absolutely none!!!! The only way to be sure is grow your own or know the grower. Our newest threat to our health is GMO’s. We could talk on this all day long. All I will say on this today is, if the bugs won’t touch it, should we?  Watch a movie called GMO Roulette, please let me know your thoughts. Unless you ask or know how to tell, chances are it has pesticides in it/on it and GMO foods are now invading our food chain.

Most people think the word organic means chemical free.

Think again, they can use over 400 toxic chemicals on the food and still label it organic. The big difference is the poison is on the outside when its organic and you can wash off the poison if you know how, most people don't! Plain water simply doesn't cut it, literally! We need some real help when it comes to what toxins and where they are in or on our food. If they are inside the food, everybody knows you can't wash them off. So what do we do? We have to take just a little time to learn some basics that can add up to a big difference. Educate yourself! We do classes all over the USA and conference calls to help you learn what really matters. I know it is very confusing out there with all the fads that come and go. With educate and a little common sense you can be on a fast track to better health in no time.

Toxic water and foods contribute to overworking ALL of the body systems.

The human body has become a toxic dump for what we call food and water! The body must cleanse before it will use its energy to heal, the body must protect itself first. Clean water and a strong immune system is your body’s best defense. When it comes to clean water, I am not talking about RO water or bottled water. Neither have what your body needs to do its job. While one may be clean of chemicals, it is robbing your body of minerals. The bottled water biz has made billions, while simply filtering the water, and in some cases is no better than tap water. This generation is what I call the bag, box, can, fast food junkies. If we can’t get “food or water” in one of those forms we typically don’t eat or drink it. Even when we buy organic foods, we still are missing the entire ship, far beyond missing the boat! Until you know how to clean the food properly, you are still consuming chemicals, even when buying organic. We have found the perfect solution to clean our food of the toxic chemicals which can make us sick and over work our bodies vital systems.

The bottom line here is until you know what, you will never understand why!

We are on a mission; to change everything and to teach people what we have learned about staying healthy in today's overburdened toxic World. You can join us for our free educational classes, webinars and conference calls to help people who want to know what and how. There is so much you can do to stay well. According to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of every 2 men will die or develop cancer and 1 out of every 3 women. According to all the experts, the problem is not getting better in the USA. You don’t have to become a statistic!

Give your body what it needs to maintain, rebuild and stay healthy, get your "health fix" today!
