Re: The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss
Organic is a fad? Organically grown produce has at least 3 times the nutritional content of non-organically grown produce. Non-organic produce is completely devoid of all essential trace minerals and is sprayed with highly toxic pesticides which can accumulate in your cells.

Re: Coconut Oil
Quote:
2 years ago I lost 40 pounds in less than 6 months by eliminating just those 3 ingredients from my diet- that put me on the path. Now I eat only organic or home grown food. I have eliminated all processed foods completely now. I know what's in every piece of food that goes past my lips. I have to totally disagree with you about detoxification being a separate issue. Detoxing is probably the number one thing that people should be doing to restore health. Another major factor in suppressed metabolism and thyroid dysfunction which is often overlooked are mineral imbalances. Not many people talk about the importance of minerals. Minerals are vitally important for proper bio-chemistry. And it's not just a matter of popping mineral supplements. Minerals need to be in proper ratios to each other. One of the main things that heavy metals do is mess with the way the body utilizes minerals. Heavy metals throw everything out of whack and the person becomes a bio-chemical train wreck- all kinds of problems result. Everything from simple weight gain to cancer. So here again it comes back to detoxification. I have direct experience with heavy metal toxicity due to chronic mercury poisoning from my fillings. It has taken me years to figure out where my health problems where coming from. I continually detox and I keep making small changes to my diet and lifestyle and my health keeps improving. Trust the wisdom of the body. It will always lean towards health if properly supported. It will always seek balance (homeostasis). I know a bit about this kind of thing so anyone can PM me if they would like some advice. Last edited by shiftmonkey; 01-05-2010 at 06:26 PM. |

Re: The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss
Exactly, I had health issue from chronic mercury poisoning, but do to my ever increasing knowledge I was adding herbs that containt iodine and I was adding coconut, himalayian crystal salt, chorela over the years. But it is still like swimming against the flow of things. still not knowing that my fillings was the main problem
My weight got only as high as around 80kg(1.86m) and start fighting it again it to lose wheight. But if you have your poisioness fillings in then your body is overloaded with toxins. a toxic body is the main problem why you having health issues. The main thing is what goes in to your body is the problem eliminate eating and washing in toxins is the number one. The second is getting nutritions in to your body who are able to remove all of the toxins in your body. Then your health start really turning around. Your wil lose weight so easily you can't believe it is real. The problem is why people have a hard time losing weight is because there trying to lose wheight on a false science that you have to eat less fat. I alwasy said you have to eat less bull Zhit .

And please, give archaeology some respect. There are some very dedicated and beautiful minds in the field who aren't completely full of themselves just cause they are an archaeologist, a college professor, intellectual, and so on... I've met some, and they are beautiful human beings. I am not here to have an ego battle. I am just of tired disinformation & blind faith thinkers, even if it involves a simple -ia Also remember, not everyone shares your perspective and most specifically your experiences. I am not denying them, and I have had my fair share of run ins with past lives and the astral word but that does not make it evidence for the human body as a whole. You should reflect on how you approached your argument. Anyway, keep up the great info on coconut oil. The stuff is a blessing. I like your energy. It has a lot of positive and strong intent behind it. Namaste! |

Re: The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss
miscommunication it happens
But real archaeology that really wanted to find the truth. Found out mostly the hard way ,mostly lose there creditbility and anyting they had that showed that they have found proof that the standard findings are not correct. they will lose anything pointing out that they can officely claim that there a archaeologist. there lose there funds too. Some of them fight back and get some real information like Jonathan Gray and others. www.beforeus.com I know sumer is place on the map where it has existed just like the mayan only they twisted and tried to make it look primitive and some how the cities where abandoned. duhh (high tech warfare) Sumerian is like the collective civilizations of land/states, just like America you call it the United states of America. Only there where not mutch united when they started nuking each other. |

Re: The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss
Use one level tablespoon of Thyme to one pint of boiling water and steep for twenty minutes. After cooling and straining it, suggested recipes say to drink two cups a day. The tea also works toward cleansing and building the blood lymphatics and the thyroid and thymus, in addition to assisting in the elimination of radiation poisoning!

Great thread and thank you for all those helpful tips. By the way, to Gregor Aurturo and mu2143, just in case, Sumeria is the name of the place or civilization in spanish lol

Re: The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss
Hey Shift Monkey,
I certainly agree that the questions you raise should be asked. I just felt that detoxing is a much larger topic than coconut oil can deal with on it's own. Your additional information of mercury in relation to the thyroid is worth noting. Also, I think everyone should be actively detoxing, even people without thyroid problems or sluggish metabolism. Using coconut oil is my health tip #1 because it is easy and gets results when eaten uncooked. Getting people to actually try, and stick with, new things can be extremely difficult. My mercury fillings were removed 2 or 3 years ago. At the time the first filling was removed (my holistic dentist recommended the most electrically active filling should be removed first) I felt an instant electrical response in a lower leg. In the following days there was a noticeable lessening of "anger" in my thoughts. I do recommend this too. |

I totally understand where you are coming from as far as cost goes. It certainly does add up. I'm on a fixed income at the present time- after I pay rent I barely have enough for food. I sacrifice social activities and I drive a crappy looking pick-up truck because I can't afford a car payment and insurance on something nicer. The bottom line is that that stuff is not a priority for me. Did you know that food expenditure is the number one cost for most people on the planet? What is the number one household expenditure in the USA? Probably house and car payments. We probably spend more money on "disease management" within our antiquated and faulty health care system than most people spend on food. See the problem? It's about priorities. What I put into my body is a priority because I truly know the importance of it through my own research. In the long run it will keep me healthier. I want to stay as far away from doctors and hospitals as I can. I don't know about you but I want to live a long, happy and healthy life. When you take into account all of the preservatives, pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals, colorings, sugars, flavorings, pollutants, toxic processing agents, and additives in the regular food and water supply in the USA you can see that what most people are ingesting is absolute poison- and in my opinion is not fit for consumption. As a result of the modern diet, most peoples bodies are over burdened with accumulated toxins. Sometimes when I go into town to run errands I wind up just looking at people walking out of the supermarket and so many of them look so unhealthy and over weight- even the children. I feel so sorry for them because they just don't know. A few years ago I was one of them! I was overweight and felt sick and tired all the time and I didn't understand why. I apologize that the conversation has drifted away from coconut oil but weight and health issues are so much more complex. Coconut oil is probably great for you but it's just a tiny piece of a puzzle. I have added it to my own diet, but in my opinion there is not one magic bullet that will make you thin and healthy. It has to be a lifestyle choice. We have to continually stretch our awareness to see the bigger picture. Last edited by shiftmonkey; 01-07-2010 at 04:32 AM. |

I can't even begin to tell you the mental and emotional improvements that I felt after the mercury was taken out of my head. I have a long way to go though. It will take several years of detoxing to get it out of my central nervous system. I had quite a few large fillings that were all over 30 years old and I am dealing with a severe toxicity that has taken a toll on my liver/gall bladder and kidneys. By the way I think coconut oil is great! I put coconut butter in my oatmeal and it's awesome. The one I buy is a raw/whole food made by Artisana. |

I thought I was a purist...I hope you don't mind that I copied everything you wrote and put it in my own personal Word file. I intend to mimic some of your routines in order to improve on what I am already doing. Don't you find that raw meat, like steak tartare and certain sashimi go down better than thoroughly cooked meats? Do you also make your own meat broths? I have seaweed I purchased from a Korean market and keep forgetting to put it in my broths. It takes some getting used to. Have you tried the spelt bread. I have not seen raw butter at the organic market. Organic butter here in Toronto is about $10 a pound, double the price. What is your take on olive oil? My body also thinks lard is okay too. How about yours? Have you tried Adzuki beans? |

I don't eat meat anymore......but when I ate it , I ate it raw- went raw primal for 4 years after doing NT , I cannot digest cooked meat.....same with fish although lightly cooked light/white fish is fine for me..... I make my own butter from raw grass fed cream or I buy it from same farm...same goes with kefir which I make from raw goat milk..... I have celiac and don't do anything with gluten, as much as I would love some home- made sourdough spelt bread...I have to pass....... I have never eaten lard nor any pork product (I grew up almost vegan- had raw milk a few times per year and tasted raw elk meat when I was 23 years old for first time......) Sally Fallon followers big on lard....I have friends into that and I did NT minus pork for one pregnancy.......gained a lot of weight but had a baby in under and hour total labor and delivery and it was completely painless..... NT too heavy on grains and animal products for me........like other aspected of it though.... I like the nutritional philosophies of Nora Gedguada's (Primal Body/Primal Mind) and Donna Gates (Body Ecology) both philosophies are very low in sugars and high in vegetables with some high quality animal proteins and fats from wild and grass fed sources..... Aduki beans- I used to be a macrobiotic teacher many years ago and ate a lot of aduki beans......I personally don't eat beans or grains........sometimes I will sprout or soak a psuedo grain like amaranth,buckwheat or qunioa and make a raw granola etc; like I did today ....... I use olive oil but gain weight from using it frequently....Sally is correct on that.....I use hemp oil too..... My body prefers saturated fat such as butter and coconut oil over monosaturates but of course I use those too......I like avocado oil as well and then there's sercha inchi oil...and mac nut oil.......the list goes on..... I used to make broths but have not in years.....I went back to veganism after that and then a year ago started eating goat dairy and then egg and some fish so no longer vegan......meat doesn't appeal to me......some people thrive on grass fed meats.....everyone has to find out what works for them......

Beans?
Quote:
I have recently heard others say this. Would you mind sharing your reason for this? For about a year now, I have used beans, nuts, seeds, and non-meat animal protein to replace much of the meat in my diet-with very good results. I can't seem to find much negative info about legumes via Google. Much thanks... FIIISH |

Re: The Coconut Diet™ - Thyroid Health A Key to Weight Loss
good organic coconut oil, is worth its weight in gold
we buy NUi type, IT'S about $40 for 1000ml (and, sometimes, it goes on sale for $29) it might be sold on ebay ??? and, we might go thru one tub, in a year (it is amasing on body skin / and, hair -although we like neways products for skin care/cleaning etc., www.ineways.com/workingwonders) we look mid 30's at 50+ on the subject of cost - i'd rather get front loaded early and, be over 50 with NO problems, than, be 29, and, be a wreck, due to what we have eaten my brother-who is only 46-is a wreck his wife, who is only 40-is currently carrying about 60% body fat and, both of their kids, are always sick you only need to eXplore, their diets, to know why ALSO, what you wash your clothes in, rubs up against your skin for every silver filling you have - add, 1 type of dis_ease to your rooster that will eventually manifest and, the quality of water - that is likely, THE MOST important drinking about 1 oz of water, for every 2 lbs of you more, if you can handle it (and, surprisingly those who say, i can't drink water, because, i have to go to the bathroom too much) remember this, if you got to pee, it is because, something is in your body, that NEEDS to get out did you know, diahara happens, so, you do NOT double process things, that are harmful to you, so, in fact, if you ever get that it is actually GOOD !!! IF that stuff continued on its way, through the lower channels, you would likely get very sick, and, might even die IF you explore - bulk buying; and; making many things organically yourself - it is actually cheaper-to cook things, from scratch (and, NOT get them, from a box) also if you muscle test - organic greens vs, reg. greens you can immediately; sense the difference between them you can also muscle test-absolutely anything, even just holding the bottle it is in, to discern, whether or NOT, something would be good for you iT iS Better, to pay attention NOW, rather than have to pay attention later |

My mom was "A" blood type and I was always sickly until I left home and started eating more meat. When I do eat adzuki beans or black-eyed peas or lima beans I soak them and discard the water. Softly boiled (or raw) meats and cold water fishes make my body purr along. It's not a religion or moral choice, just a practicality of genetic preference. |
