5.0 out of 5 stars Please do not hesitate in buying this book and a large jar of Virgin Coconut Oil!By ArpRDH505 on September 9, 2009
Even my dog and cat have benefited from the oil. I give my 65 lb dog about 2 tablespoons a day. Her chronic ear infections are gone and her coat is soft and shiney. My cat also has clear, bright eyes and soft fur. As for what I’ve done: this way has been the easiest way to lose weight and improve my skin.
NOTE: If you have a severe magnesium deficiency like I do, it’s important to know that sometimes coconut products have large amounts of potassium in them, possibly due to potash fertilizers as noted in Dr. Dean’s book. Also, according to that book a greater amount of potassium than magnesium in the body can overpower the magnesium. Due to that fact, I limit my use of this oil more than I’d like to, for the time being. Even so, I use it frequently, almost exclusively for cooking, especially in frying meats, because the fatty acids are vital to me… and food tastes yummy cooked in cold pressed, virgin coconut oil. As shown in my review, I spray many foods [and sometimes drinking water] Linda G. Shelnutt4 years agoIn reply toan earlier postContinuing… Currently, I’ve reduced my regular health products to the types of Mg and varieties of coconut oil. With those I’ve cured on myself MANY serious health issues for 64 year old who should have died in a premature birth, then with a liver failure at 9, then given a life expect to 40 if I were very lucky and careful to not over tax myself. No more hay fever for three seasons, cured gout and a cyst/tumor/boil on my spine, strengthened a failing heart and lungs, kept shingles at bay, anxiety attacks rare and minimal, more even keel emotions, and more. The hardest cures have been rNA viral presence which migrates. But it was in a full body arthritis which is gone unless I hit some heavy stress , then only minor flares in upper arms. The virus migrated to my head, face, and ears, teeth and jaw. That took a few months work, but is now almost gone. The ears were the worst because mine had measles in them as a kid. I intuitively use varities of mg and means of application, mostly the brine spray and powders in my Listmania, Magnesium chloride oil brands in the pure sprays, Mg Oxide and Mg citrate in powder form, pure, nothing added. with Magnesium Oil 8 fl oz (237 ml) Spray to help counterbalance other minerals in foods.

I really appreciate all your posts about the magnesium. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with me for 6 months and my Dr, and a Neurologist and an emg and blood tests are not providing any answers except that my vitamin D was very low. I have got my D up to about 45. It appears I may be deficient in magnesium and pieces of the puzzle have been coming together for the last 2 weeks as I have had time to read. I am in 46 and though I have had a healthy diet the last year or so, it seemed like after I had my daughter 1.5 years ago, I just started to fall apart. Starting with foot pain soon after the birth, then a torn cartilage in my wrist and arthritis in my one wrist. But 6 months ago, I realized that my feet were tingling a lot ( I am not diabetic and I do not have any numbness) and sometimes my hand and my foot and leg muscles were twitching or having spasms. Recently this twitching/spasms has moved to my arms and upper body. I also developed cubital tunnel out of nowhere 6 months ago…in both arms. My diet changed significantly 6 months ago. I have been eating a LOT more protein and I have eliminated grains and beans. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and healthy fats. But have also eliminated peanut butter which was a daily treat for me….which I believe has magnesium in it. Now I just read on this review that coconut oil can possible overcome the magnesium. Well, 6 months ago, I started using coconut oil. I have started taking Natural calm and I am going to buy some magnesium oil. I am hoping that all my problems, including the cubital tunnel is related to the magnesium and I can start correcting this problem. If you or any one knows of cubital tunnel being a symptom of low magnesium…please let me know. Thanks The other thing is I have spent a lot of money on my teeth in the last 3 years….more than I have spent in the previous 20 years. Again…maybe another piece of the puzzle.
