TED'S COCONUT OIL FEEDBACK
11/01/2010: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Of all the cures I have written, nothing is
as dramatically important for me as the coconut oil cure. What tipped me off to write this
particular update occurred about the beginning of this year as I was trying to find a local
source of bromelain (a protease enzyme commonly found in pineapples), when the owner of
a factory gave me an industry secret in reducing death rates of piglets, by giving them a
teaspoon of MCT (Middle Chain Triglyceride) mixed with a tiny bit of bromelain enzyme.
Normally farmers report a 50% survival rate for piglets, but when fed with this MCT and a
small amount of bromelain, you have roughly 100% survival rates. The MCT happens to be
found mostly in coconut oil. While bromelain is helpful, most of the survival rates actually
came from the MCT. The content of coconut oil is the only oil that I am aware of that
contains high levels of MCT. It contains 60%.
You might wonder what's all the fuss about MCT? That answer lies in the basics of cellular
nutrition. In case you haven't figure it out, I consider the piglets' sudden death and Sudden
Infant Death (SID), the condition that afflicts human babies, the same condition.
You see, if a baby doesn't have enough glucose in their blood, for a very short period, brain
cells die quickly. The cell's prime nutrition requires actually two source of energy, one from
glucose and another one from MCT in the form found in coconut oil. Ordinarily the body
makes uses of MCT when eating coconut oil by the liver which converts it to ketone bodies.
What's even more interesting, is the mitochondria - the energy centers of the cells - can
actually directly access MCT right through the blood brain barrier and give the mitochondria
the needed energy.
So babies born prematurely or starving babies can actually survive, if they have sufficient
levels of MCT, where the mother could supply them through breast milk, after she eats
coconut oil, or coconut oil is mixed in a milk formula or given directly, as in the piglets'
case. The cells require energy and metabolism and have two sources, either glucose or a
backup, MCT, if the glucose was in short supply even for a second. I have seen that people
with low blood sugar for even a few seconds can faint. So the brain needs the backup
system, and this comes from MCT. This allows a more stable energy source, much like the
UPS (Uninterrupted Power System) should your glucose level be temporarily low. So the
people who faint easily may actually have an MCT deficiency, which can be supplied from
coconut oil.
What is so special about MCT and coconut oil is that brain cells DO NOT REQUIRE ANY
special receptors to utilize this source of energy!
People who are too weak, sleep all day, the kind who have very long term illness, whether
Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer disease, or just people who seem to be in a comatose state
may actually have problems similar to those of a piglet that doesn't have a sufficient supply
of MCT because their glucose level are unstable, or more likely as you get older, the cells
lose their ability to uptake glucose. This is exactly what happens in patients with brain
conditions such as Alzheimer, Parkinson's, etc. The brain cells lose their "insulin receptors".
The insulin receptor is needed so that the brain cells can uptake the glucose.
This means that if a person were to go into coma, in many instances, sugar can't be utilized,
but the cells can directly access the MCT so the brain cells can function. It takes on the
average 3 hours to notice the sudden improvement in speech, memory, and other cognitive
abilities. Long term, if these cells can have the energy source, the brain cells will recover,
and reduce or stop the brain death that occurs with Alzheimer's. In other words, brain cells
starve to death because they lose their insulin receptors to access the needed glucose. MCT
is like a spare tire, should the original tire not work because the tire became old and worn
out.
The other advantage to be found in coconut oil has got to do with our late 20th century to
early 21st century civilization's diet that's killing us. The diet is already lacking in MCT,
which was always mostly found in coconut oil and now you will find it lacking or nonexistent
in most cooking oils you use today. One of today's characteristic health problems is high
cholesterol mostly in the form of LDLs, with low HDLs and high triglycerides. This is the
typical pattern. What's interesting about coconut oil is it increases HDL, reduces LDL, and
reduces the triglycerides all at once.
In Thailand, because it is U.S. aligned, we have rejected the use of coconut oil and use the
imported U.S. oil so that we end up with the same disease that afflicts the U.S. That's
because of clever marketing. What the advertisers here in Thailand did was to say that if
you put coconut oil in the refrigerator, it hardens, but not for soybean oil, corn oil, etc.
Therefore, they would say, this is the one that clogs your arteries. This is false advertising.
The hardened oil is actually HDL, and not LDL. In fact the fact that these soybean oils don't
harden, means you will have low HDL. It's the HDL that prevents LDL from sticking. So
that's a relatively simple advertising to counter that claim.
Once you understand that cells can't access the glucose (not just brain cells) you may
wonder where am I going to go from here. Well it goes everywhere. I recently visited a
comatose client, who is 82 years old, and her skin was in such bad shape that one of her
children (she has 15 of them!), decided to give her coconut oil applied to the skin. The skin
condition improved dramatically within days. That's because as your skin gets older, it may
lose its insulin receptors, and cannot access the needed glucose. So for the body to get the
glucose needed, the body responds by increasing the blood sugar, to diabetic levels! But
there is a way around that of course. Coconut oil!
One other fact, the NUMBER ONE CURE FOR CANCER on this planet is to starve the cancer
cells of glucose. Cancer cells die off quickly once you starve them of sugar! Cancer patients
are weak, have no energy, because cancer cells STEAL GLUCOSE from the body so then
healthy cells die and cancer cells live on. It is important to realize that cancer cells feed off
fructose and glucose very efficiently. A couple of months ago one of my clients, after
recovering quickly from a stage IV liver cancer with lymphatic cancer plus cachexia (using
my typical liver cancer remedy) after 5 days, she decided to sneak and drink 2 full glasses
of coconut milk without telling me about it. She ended up going into cachexia again. By the
time I found out about it, B3, B1, B6, and B50 were provided to lower the blood sugar,
white tea as a diuretic to pee out all those sugars and took another 3 days to get her
improving again. You might be asking, so what have coconuts got to do with liver cancer, or
any cancer, especially brain tumors?
Most cancer patients cannot eat glucose, or carbohydrates for that matter, because they
give the cancer the SUGAR THEY NEED. This is true for honey, fruit juices, bananas,
watermelon, ripe mangos, sticky rice, wheat, and white bread for that matter! So how are
you going to get the energy to do anything? Try coconut oil! In fact coconut oil is a fairly
efficient fuel source compared to glucose, and the extra fats of coconut oil are not even
stored in the body. They are usually utilized. Coconut oil contains several components that
are antifungal and antiviral, which makes it interesting in treatment of viral caused illness,
and from my own experience, nearly every case I encountered with cancer is viral in nature,
including Parkinson's disease and Alzhiemer's.
In case you are wondering, the antiviral wonder drug came mostly from lysine. And in case
you are wondering why soymilk is a bit more healthy than cow's milk, it has a lot to do with
the lysine to arginine ratios. The lysine to arginine ratio for soymilk is 1:1, while a typical
cow's milk is around 1:2, more arginine then lysine. Now for those who are aware of
arginine, the arginine supports virus growth, whether they are viral cancer, herpes cancer,
etc. but for soymilk, because of the higher lysine level at 1:1 ratio, it places soymilk at an
advantage when it comes to antiviral properties.
So whether you are recovering from a long-term illness, in a comatose state, a person in a
nursing home, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's disease, or just simply want more beautiful skin,
the cells simply need that coconut oil so they can get the energy they require for more
beautiful skin. What it does to the skin, it will do the same for the brain cells and all the
organs inside the body, because all cells need fuel so they can properly function!
My coconut oil remedy requires 1 tablespoonful twice a day, preferably taken with meals. In
other situations, you can take 2 tablespoons in one dose. You should see some results in
about 3 hours on the average, in terms of energy. Athletes may be interested in coconut oil
too.
Ted
p.s. To give bromelain a fair review, the bromelain was added to the MCT for the piglets as
a natural antibiotic, as the bromelain reduced the piglets' rates of dying from infections. In
the human arena, most of the infections are under control with proper sanitary measures,
but the MCT is one supplement that is definitely missing in the human diet that I believe to
be essential, should the cells not be able to access the required glucose.
p.p.s. Footnote on the 82-year-old patient. She's out of her two months' coma, but still
sleeps most of the time through supplements using clove oil, methylene blue and
hydrochloric acid drops. In case you are wondering how I get people out of coma, it takes
between 30 minutes to 12 hours on average to get them out, unless of course MRI reveals
large sections of dead brain (I have one case like that), and I am trying on that one! Most
comatose conditions may have to do with energy deficit, lack of ability for the brain cells to
utilized the needed glucose, and this is where coconut oil comes in, along with the other
things mentioned.

on coconut oil, it has been extremely helpful. Sad to say the one of my dear friends died or
should I say they pulled the life support plug on her due to doctors saying she was brain dead and
she was in a coma for less than 1 month... They did'nt even give her a chance to recover.
Anyway my question is how do you administer coconut oil to comatose patients? Thank you in
advance."
12/06/2010: Merryanne from Orange City, Florida, Usa replies: "I may be able to answer some
of your questions about administering food or liquids to comatose people. There is usually a
feeding tube in the patient, either in/down the nostril to the stomach or a gastric feeding tube
threw the wall of the lower abdomen to the stomach, either way it has portals that liquids are
administered through, and you all ways flush this hole with water after giving anything, if that
thing is an oil I suggest you use warm water to clear the tube all the way to the stomach after
giving oil."

daughter and she is suffering from Guatte psorisis for last two months. She is also suffering from
soar throat and running nose.
The attck is very severe. I gave her ACV for a week or so but no results. Now I have started off
with Coconut oil. So far I gave here one teaspoon coconut oil in a hot cup of milk .
Please help me out in finding the right solution to her problem. Thanking you in advance.

06/04/2011: Coconutty from Phoenix, Az replies: "So I agree with you on everything but the
soymilk. Soy has too many photoestrogens to be considered healthy. In my opinion. As for
administering coconut oil to comatose patients, you can also give it intravenously. Great post
though overall. Thank you."
08/17/2011: Leanne from Calgary, Ab replies: "Hi Ted, I just read your article on coconut oil
and comas you posted 11/01/2010. I have a friend that was seriously injured three days ago and
in critical condition at the moment. He has severe edema throughout his body and they say his
brain is damaged in the area of the vortex for his motor skills. The rest I believe they say would
be capable of functioning when he is out of coma. Many people desperately praying and hoping
for his recovery. Can you please tell me more about the coconut oil and other possible remedies
that may speed heal his brain and how it should be administered in a hospital? Thank you!! :)"
08/19/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Leanne,
Most hospitals at the moment don't allow it to be administered. That's the policy. The reason it
can be done is when they gave up on him, or that the relative with consent of the doctor,
otherwise its sneaking in things is the most common I seen. That's how I saved people, the other
is they be transferred to Nursing home because of the "cost" and you have some connections, and
that's difficult in U.S. The other is easier, if self care, and doctors give up on him and allowed to
"die" at his home where the treatment is handled.
As far as brain damage is concerned, the concern is to restore circulation to the brain is far more
important and regenerative properties of aloe vera oil, or at least aloe vera extract but at low dose
such as 10 drops should be fine. The regenerative tissues can only occur is that the scar tissues
does not occur and that can be done with bromelain. I used a bromelain 10% to mixed with water
taken 3 times a day, at 1/8 or preferably 1/4 teaspoon three times a day. Aloe vera oil is given
once a day. For some reasons all patients has an unusual need for N acetyl cysteine, given 250
mg x 8 times a day to help with the phlegm, as this is critical also for synthesis of glutathione. If
there is any fever, I don't use antibiotics I used usually 750 mg lysine with is 1/3 teaspoon of
lysine given hourly for four hours and threonine 350 mg for example or 1/8 teaspoon
approximately given the same time period. It is given once in morning (4 doses) and once in
evening (4 doses) for at least 3 days. On the third day especially I will add glutamine to the
remedy, which is added to the lysine protocol at 1/4 teaspoon. This is to get immune system up
and fight off the infection. If it last to 3 days and show no sign of letting up, 25 mg of zinc
acetate given everyday for one week, would be the way. Bromelain 10% is given throughout the
time and so is aloe vera oil. That's the basic. I may restore some neural connections with a couple
of things, 5 to 10 drops of Lithium chloride 10% once a day, piracetam 800 mg, and hydergine 2
mg. once a day, and perhaps gingko biloba extract, with flavones, 1/2 teaspoon maybe twice a
day. Coconut oil is given 2 tablespoon a day, can be mixed with food. Since people in coma is
seriously drained of energy, that is why they are in coma, they need something above and beyond
to get energy levels up, these include 800 mg CoQ10 ubiquinol only, not ubiquinone. taken 3
times a day, methylene blue 0.1% at least 8 drops once in morning and once in the afternoon. All
foods if it is tube fed must have 4 drops of Hydrochloric acid per 250 cc of food (of course he
may need less), plus a lot of digestive enzymes say 4 capsules with every meal. Clove oil can be
applied to the feet this seems to help get out of coma also. In addition alpha lipoic acid and acetyl
l carnitine 500 mg capsules combined is given at least twice a day, selenium 200 mcg x 2 day
and B3 500 mg in evening and before sleep (that's based on schedule), he sleeps anyway. When
in coma energy has a lot to do with it needed to get people out of coma. Now I know poor people
who cannot afford all this out in province in Thailand, we used a chopped hot green pepper
(equivalent in America its Jalepeno) and chopped garlic down his throat it works most of the
time. That's the basic protocol and is for your information only.
I have much more remedies than this, this is just the basics."
08/27/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "I heard of another

HUGE difference!"
01/12/2011: Carla from Seattle, Wa - Usa replies: "From Livestrong.com:
Organic coconut oil is named for the origins of the coconut the oil comes from. According to
Organic Facts, a privately owned website with the goal of distributing unbiased information on
organic foods, these coconuts should come from palm trees grown in organic manure. There
should be no use of synthetic fertilizers or insecticides. Further, there should be no use of
chemicals in the extraction of the oil. WHFoods states that choosing organic coconut oil leads to
a stronger assurance of higher quality. However, Organic Facts concludes that it is very difficult
to verify the validity of organic coconut oil to ensure that it is, in fact, organic. In addition, it is
nearly impossible to tell the difference between organic and non-organic coconut oil in terms of
flavor and odor.
Organic coconut oil can also be found in the virgin form, which is highly regarded due to its
being both virgin, meaning more natural, and grown under organic conditions. While extra virgin
coconut oil is a term sometimes used, there is no set standard or recognition of the use of the
term "extra virgin."

--------------
There is no difference between "virgin" coconut oil and "extra virgin" coconut oil as far as I have
been able to find. There is a HUGE difference between regular refined coconut oil and virgin
coconut oil however.
You want to purchase Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. If you are buying Organic EXTRA Virgin
Coconut oil, chances are you are just paying more for the same item. (Marketing)
Refined coconut oil will look off color or even gray when compared to VCO."

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 02/27/2006: Dani from Sydney NSW writes: "Been
taking this for over one month so far. Unfortunately, i wasn't aware of the "side-effects"
when i started, and started taking the standard 3 - 5 tbsp daily, thinking this is good for
me. The nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting were not pleasant. I would become nauseous
around 8 - 10 hours later, diarrhea would follow, and sometimes i'd wake in the middle of
the night to vomit. It took a while to work out these symptoms were caused by the coconut
oil. I kept thinking it was food poisoning. I stopped taking coconut oil temporarily, and the
symptoms disappeared. Started the coconut oil again, and the symptoms returned -- just
like clockwork. I found the trick is to start off with smaller doses, say 1 tsp the first week,
then gradually increase. Wish i'd known this prior to starting, would've saved me nearly a
month of continually feeling nauseous and ill. On the plus, it has helped with a few things --
it's diminished cravings for sweets and alcohol. And that's great! I'm hoping the longer i
take this oil, the more i'll receive some of the other wonderful benefits that i've read about."

can use ghee as well as coconut oil for the same toxic flush"

one person that immediately says that the body is simply trying to expel the toxins. What
toxins exactly? You mean from the cereal I had in the morning? Or was it from the grape
juice or the filtered water I drank? I bet that Dani just realized which amount is far too
much for his/her body. That's a lot of fat your body just isn't used to imbibing. It's no big
deal. I gave coconut oil to my cat and noticed similar negative reactions. Her litterbox was
quite a mess, let me tell you! However, there's no way I'm going to give her charcoal to
absorb the so-called toxins from her... Canned cat food? It's not like I feed her diarrhea
mixed with benzene for godsake. I decreased the amount of oil she has access to and she's
fine now."
07/26/2011: Elissa from Newcastle, Australia replies: "Canned cat food is actually highly
toxic, and human beings and animals are completely different. We are constantly absorbing
toxins from our water, plastics (which are everywhere), environment, the food we eat (all
non-organic foods contain chemical residues, some quite significant levels) and the body
builds it up over a lifetime. Every time you spray perfume or put roll on deoderant you
increase the toxic burden. Every cup of coffee, glass of wine, sugary treat we eat increases
the burden on our liver which reduces it's ability to remove said toxins. So yes, charcoal is
helpful in eliminating those built up toxins. The coconut oil may also have been killing
candida, those look like die-off symptoms."

from Alexandria in regard to her comment about activated charcoal. Activated Charcoal is
one of the few safe things you can give a cat or dog for diarrhea or food poisoning. You
can't just give them tums or pepto-bismol. It is also a common recommendation for humans
who have food poisoning. Activated charcoal is also useful for bee and wasp stings - if in pill
form... Crush or in capsul... Dump the powder into a small bowl and add just enough water
to make a paste and put on the sting - it will help draw the poison and ease the sting. For

lessening detox symptoms. I did know about charcoal absorbing toxins but forgot in this

water intake and felt a little better today. Will buy some lemons and try the lemonade
tomorrow. I've had allergies to dust and pollen for 20 years, and had Glandular Fever 5
years ago. Any ideas on my apparent detox symptoms??"

people have these reactions to coconut oil - I think it's presumed they're allergic to it.
Everything does not work equally well for every person and is not equally safe. Please stop
taking the coconut oil - if there are things you need remedied, there are usually other
alternatives if you search for them."

liked her comments and agree with them as well. @Madonnab from Houston, Texas - why
so defensive? Maybe you need to lay off the charcoal. I really don't think Dani's stomach
was reacting to toxins, it was more likely reacting to a high amount of grease."

HYPOTHYROID AND ADRENAL EXHAUSTION SYMPTOMS. I have been experiencing
hypothyroid symtoms as well as adrenal exhaustion symptoms for 6 months. My Medical
Doctor did blood and urine tests as well as an MRI because I was experiencing headaches,
low body temperature, extreme fatigue, earaches, muscle and joint pain. All tests came
back normal. Liver function normal, thyroid normal, B12 normal, iron normal. Naturopath
did allergy testing, autoimmune and thyroid tests. Thyroid TSH, T3 and T4 all were in
optimal ranges. No allergies to foods. Negative to autoimmune test. I began on my own
taking nutritional support for my Adrenals. I purchased a book and took all the
recommended supplements for Severe Adrenal Fatigue. My morning temperatures were
consistently in the lower 97 degree F. I ate well, eliminating junk food and sugary foods. My
morning temperature dropped into the 96 degree F range. In desperation, I began taking
Virgin Coconut oil, starting with 2 teaspoons on day 1, then 3 teaspoons on day 2. 3
Tablespoons on day 3. After 4 days of VCO 3 tablespoons a day I was able to do light
exercise. Before that I was barely able to make it through a day. My legs felt like lead. I
worked 4 days a week at a sitdown job and would be in bed for 3 days. After 9 days of 3
tablespoons of Virgin Coconut Oil a day I had nerve zapping in my right leg and right
shoulder at night. Since that time I have had no nerve zaps and the pain in my left shoulder
due to Adrenal Fatigue is 98% better. I have been able to exercise vigorously. If I reduce to
1 tablespoons a day my body aches. At 3 tablespoons a day I have energy and have no
body aches. My morning temperatures have gone up a degree, 97-98 F. I've been taking
Virgin Coconut Oil for a month and a half."

months now because I read it will help regulate my thyroid. I am hyper-thyroid and have
been on medication for the past four years.Last month I stopped my meds. because I was
told my thyroid is in remission now. I believe the oil is what helped me."
09/01/2008: Cathy from Sudbury, Canada replies: "If you want to use coconut oil, cook
with it! Butter your bread with it, use it in or on muffins instead of butter. My favorite is to
use it for cooking pancakes, fried sweet potato french fries. Anything you fry because it is
the only safe oil at high temperatures. Get creative with it. enjoy the lovely flavor. Put it in
shakes!"
[YEA] 09/08/2008: Lori from Saint Cloud, FL replies: "Most definately VCO is soothing to
the thyroid. My B/F/F has Graves' disease, she swears by it. She mixes it in her AM shakes
and cooks with it."
