Coconut oil

I've read some things about coconut oil helping with the absorption of antioxidants. Any thoughts on this for people with Lyme and is its a good thing any idea on dosages to try out?

Ohh that's great! Did you just eat the raw oil? Or mix it with food or drink? How much did you usually use?

I add a teaspoon or more of coconut oil to my smoothies. It's loaded with good fats for the brain, nervous system, and liver.
I'm not sure if it directly affects absorption, but it's antifungal. Candida yeast can cause significant absorption issues, coconut oil eleminating candida could cause a positive affect.

Coconut oil has been a blessing for me. When half my hair fell out and my hairline receded an inch all around, I rubbed coconut oil into my hair and scalp. It also helped calm my scalp when it felt like it was on fire. I brush my teeth with C/O and add some baking soda to it every other day. First thing in the morning I put a teaspoon of it in my mouth and swish it around for 15 minutes ( oil pulling). It whitens your teeth. It is best to spit it out into the waste receptacle for it could clog the pipes. I wash my face with it and apply it to my legs, arms and feet at bedtime.

When I have the occasional coffee, I add a teaspoon of C/O along with a dash of Turmeric and a pinch of freshly grated black pepper. Yummy.

I cook with a mix of ghee and C/O.

It is also great for making protein/health bars. It holds everything together. I have a wonderful dairy free quinoa oatmeal chocolate recipe if anyone is interested.

Coconut oil has become an important staple in my kitchen to go with my new normal.

Yeah coconut oil is a healthy alternative for cooking, for anything really. Its good for your skin. I haven't found it a cure of any kind. Some people feel it helps resolve some of their health issues. I feel a bit heavy if I have too much of it. But the science is great around it.
