Coconut Oil

There are all sorts of uses for Coconut Oil.  I have been using it in my cooking because it is natural and a great replacement for the "man-made" oils that are not good for us.  Coconut oil also has a long storage life, and doesn't go rancid like other oils.  Coconut oil has a long shelf life-- 5 years when properly stored in cool, dark place, coconut oil is ideal for food storage, and does not have to be refrigerated (see a chart comparing oils here).  You can use it in place of butter and cooking oils.


Coconut oil is also a natural antibiotic so you can use it to improve your immune system and put it on cuts.


One of the most interesting findings is how coconut oil can help Alzheimer's patients.  I have a great-grandmother who had Alzheimer's.  It is such a sad thing to watch someone's memory deteriorate so much that they aren't the person you used to know.  Here is an article and video about using coconut oil to help Alzheimer's.  Here's another article with some information at the end about Alzheimer's and how eating man-made oils contributes to it (read here).

I have a friend who has been using it for her teeth and gums. It is called "oil pulling" (learn more here.)  She said her husband was having gum disease and he started "oil pulling" and his gums are getting better.


Want to look like supermodel Miranda Kerr -  shiny hair, trim figure, clear skin? Eat lots of coconut oil says the beautiful Australian and new mother who says that she has been consuming it since she was 14. “I will not go a day without coconut oil. I personally take four tablespoons per day, either on my salads, in my cooking or in my cups of green tea.” Here's the article.

The Acne Cure

I wanted to let anyone who suffers with acne know about a book called, The Acne Cure: The Nonprescription Plan That Shows Dramatic Results in as Little as 24 Hours.  Following the plan has given me great results. There are a few different products you will need:
  • 2% Salicylic Face Wash (kills surface bacteria)
  • 10% Glycolic Acid (promotes cell turnover)
  • 10% Benzoyl Peroxide (kills bacteria in pores)
  • A face moisturizer you like (oil-free)
  • Ice cubes (helps get the benzoil peroxide into the cells to kill the bacteria)
  • Ice pack (optional)
*Start slow with one step at a time over the course of a week


DIRECTIONS: In the morning and at night I use a 2% Salicylic wash like one of these. 

 Put a small amount of wash in your palm and mix in water until it foams up, then put it on your face. Leave it on your face for about a minute or more, so it can kill the surface bacteria (if it's too drying, just put it on and wash it back off immediately).  You can put in on in the shower, then wash your hair, then wash it off your face: 

MORNING: I follow the face wash with 10% Glycolic Acid and moisturizer. I've found the best prices for 10% Glycolic Acid at Ulta or Amazon for  Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula.




NIGHT: At night I do the face wash again and follow the face wash by rubbing an ice cube everywhere on my face until it is VERY cold, then I put the 10% benzoyl peroxide treatment in my palm and mix a little cold water with it (from the ice cube) and put it all over my face (watch out for your eyebrows and shirt it will bleach them).  I like this one: 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Gel   

Then I put an ice pack on my face and rest  for about 10 minutes.  Most of the time I don't do this--I'm just too tired--but it still works and my acne is TONS better in the morning.



One of the surprising things in the book is using ice to get the benzoyl peroxide into the pores and help get rid of the inflammation and blemishes. It really works! There are great reviews that go into the details on Amazon.

 PS: The GLYCOLIC acid treatment also gets rid of fine lines!  It is awesome stuff! 


PSS: When you first start this program GO SLOW so your skin gets used to the products.  Only do the NIGHT routine at first, then after a week add in the morning program.  If your face gets too dry or reacts then go back to once a day.
