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 (cell toxics):
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].
