AMAZON’S #1: NUTIVA COCONUT OIL MOST-WISHED-FOR ORGANIC FOOD GIFT

AMAZON’S #1: NUTIVA® COCONUT OIL MOST-WISHED-FOR ORGANIC FOOD GIFT
(Santa Paula, Calif. ~ December 17, 2009) Americans creating holiday wish lists on Amazon.com are hoping that Santa leaves them a 54-ounce jar of Nutiva® Coconut Oil. The week before Christmas, the unrefined organic coconut oil was the most requested organic and natural food gift on Amazon–topping organic tea, soymilk, coffee, agave syrup, and lollipops–as well as other superfood categories including cacao nibs, maca powder, goji berries, and chia seeds. In fact, Nutiva® has a record seven top sellers in Amazon’s Top 100 Best Organic and Natural Items, including three sizes of http://nutiva.com/products/10_coconut.php [Coconut Oil], two sizes of http://nutiva.com/products/7_hempseeds.php [Hempseed], the three-pound http://nutiva.com/products/0_protein.php [Hemp Protein + Fiber], and the three-pound http://nutiva.com/products/0_protein.php [Hemp Protein 50%].
One Amazon customer described his experience of Nutiva’s virgin Coconut Oil: “I’ve tried two of the major coconut oil brands. I ordered Nutiva® just to see how it tasted, because the price was so good, if it didn’t taste right I’d just use it on my skin. It is the BEST tasting oil I’ve tried.”
In response to the rating, Nutiva® founder and CEO John W. Roulac said, “The strong showing on Amazon reveals the public’s increasing awareness of the many health benefits of organic coconut oil.”
How is so much coconut oil being used? This question was recently posed to Nutiva® fans on Facebook.  Here are a few of the many ways respondents said that they use it for personal care: as a massage oil, a makeup remover, a suntan oil, a hair conditioner, a shoe polish, a face and body moisturizer, a toothpaste (mixed with baking soda), and to prevent stretch marks in pregnancy. Facebook fans said that, in the kitchen, they use Nutiva® Coconut Oil in smoothies, on popcorn, as a frying oil, in cakes and cookies, on hot cereal or breakfast toast, as a substitute for cream in vegan soups, and even as a nutritious dog food additive.
In the Indian medicinal system known as Ayurveda, coconut oil has traditionally been used extensively, and many athletes, dieters, and body builders choose the oil because it contains fewer calories than other oils and its fat content doesn’t accumulate in the heart and arteries.
Roulac is confident that Nutiva’s coconut oil will continue to boost the sales of his fast-growing company. “While going through one of the most economically challenging periods since the Great Depression, we’re riding the wave of a tsunami of interest in our products. We plan to continue researching and developing new products that nourish people and the planet.”
As provider of the world’s best-selling brand of organic coconut oil, Nutiva® has begun planting 100,000 new coconut palms in the Philippines, to improve the lives of coconut growers and help reduce carbon in the atmosphere. Nutiva® also supports the efforts to grow hemp in America by working with VoteHemp.com. Currently Nutiva® sources its organic hemp seed, hemp oil, hemp protein, and hemp bars from Canada because the US federal government does not allow the growing of hemp.

Doctor says Coconut Oil lessened Alzheimer's effects on her husband

After two weeks of taking coconut oil, Steve Newport’s results in an early onset Alzheimer’s test gradually improved says his wife, Dr. Mary Newport. Before treatment, Steve could barely remember how to draw a clock. Two weeks after adding coconut oil to his diet, his drawing improved. After 37 days, Steve’s drawing gained even more clarity. The oil seemed to “lift the fog,” his wife says.

09This article was too interesting to pass up, and comes to us via one of our FaceBook friends.  Originally posted on TampaBay.com, Eve Hosley-Moore writes about an ordinary couple experiencing extraordinary health results by using Coconut Oil to treat Alzheimer’s symptoms.  You might want to pass this one on to your friends.

Here’s an excerpt from the story.  You can continue reading by clicking on the link at the bottom.

The only thing that kept Dr. Mary Newport positive in the face of her husband’s early onset Alzheimer’s disease was that he didn’t seem aware of how much ground he was losing.

“He didn’t know the full ramifications of his decline — I hate to say it but that was the only blessing. I was watching my husband of 36 years simply fade away,” said Dr. Newport, 56, a neonatologist and medical director of the newborn intensive care unit at Spring Hill Regional Hospital.

An accountant, Steve Newport left his corporate job the day his first daughter was born, allowing his wife to finish her medical training. As time went on, he worked from home, keeping the books for her neonatology practice and taking care of their two daughters, now age 22 and 26.

About six years ago, Newport began struggling with daily tasks. He took longer to complete the business’ payroll and was making more mistakes.

“I didn’t know what was happening to me. I was confused,” Newport said of his prediagnosis days.

“There were big clues, and I knew that something was going on here,” Dr. Newport said.

They saw his primary care physician, who referred him to a specialist. The diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s was a devastating blow. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 4.5-million Americans have Alzheimer’s. Early onset Alzheimer’s strikes people age 30 to 60 and is rare, affecting only about 5 percent to 10 percent of those with Alzheimer’s.

While there is no way to confirm an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Newport tested positive for the genetic marker that puts a person at higher risk for early onset Alzheimer’s.

He was put on several FDA-approved medicines to help slow the progression of the disease, but he continued to decline. In August of last year, Dr. Newport said, her husband underwent a “drastic change,” losing more than 10 pounds.

“He had completely lost interest in eating, and that was not a good sign,” she said. He also abandoned the kayaking and gardening he loved so much.

Twelve Creative Ways to Use Coconut Oil

While millions of Americans are discovering the many benefits of using
organic coconut oil, their are dozens of other great uses for coconut
oil.

Below is a nice overview on 12 ways to use virgin coconut oil. Let us
know us if you try these and how you think it worked for you.

From Natural News newsletter:

(NaturalNews) In the past several years, coconut oil has become a sort of rising star in the world of health food. More and more homes have a jar of organic extra virgin coconut oil on their pantry shelf. But coconut oil is more than a healthy cooking alternative. There are endless ways to use coconut oil that extend far beyond the occasional cookie or stir-fry. Here are twelve creative uses for a classic health food:

Colds and Sore Throats – Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that can help you recover from a cold. Mix it with warm tea and honey for a very soothing throat remedy.

Cuts and Scrapes – Coconut oil can be used as a topical cream for common cuts and scrapes, protecting against infection while conditioning the skin to heal faster. It may also prevent scarring.

Dandruff – Several times per week, coat your fingertips with coconut oil and massage it into your scalp for an easy dandruff cure. This is an effective yet gentle method, suitable for young children or babies with cradle cap, too.

Deodorant – You can use coconut oil by itself as a deodorant that leaves underarms feeling silky soft, or you can add baking soda and cornstarch for advanced odor protection.

Detoxification – There are many methods for detoxifying the body, but coconut oil is unique because it can provide energy while cleansing the body. One popular method is to take 1-2 tablespoon of coconut oil seven times per day for one to seven days to cleanse the body from toxins, impurities and candida.

Fungal Infections – Coconut oil contains strong antifungal agents, and can be used to treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, thrush and vaginal yeast infections. You can use it internally and topically for these conditions.

Hair Conditioner – Apply a thin layer of coconut oil to your scalp and hair. Allow it to soak for several minutes and then wash as usual. There is no need to use other conditioners with this method, even after washing with shampoo.

Lip Balm – Lip moisturizers are filled with chemicals, and natural products are often pricey. If you need a moisturizer for your lips, try coconut oil in a commercial lip balm container.

Make-up Remover – Coconut oil is a very effective make-up remover, so you can toss out all the chemical-laden products from the drug store. It’s also a natural moisturizer, so it won’t cause dryness or irritation.

Skin Conditions – Since coconut oil is moisturizing, antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory, it’s a great natural remedy for all kinds of skin problems ranging from eczema to acne to diaper rash.

Sun screen – Coconut oil provides effective and natural sun protection without exposing your body to the toxic chemicals and metals in conventional sun block. Coconut oil protects against free radicals, which provides added protection against skin cancer.

Toothpaste – Mix an equal amount of coconut oil and baking soda for an all-natural, fluoride-free toothpaste. Add spearmint or peppermint oil with stevia for a fresh, sweet flavor.

As you can see, there is more to coconut oil that what meets the eye – or the frying pan!

Coconut Oil: The Healthiest All-Purpose Cooking Oil

Discover the amazing versatility of coconut oil

Coconut oil is ideal as a high-heat cooking oil, a “better than butter” replacement on bread and steamed veggies, or a tasty and nutritious substitute for shortening in baking.

We suggest you use coconut and palm oils for cooking, and olive (a heat-sensitive oil with a low smoke point), hemp, and flax oils for cold dressings. This will help increase your levels of healthy Lauric Acid, Omega-3, and GLA fatty acids, while lowering your intake of Omega-6 and junk oils. While we need to consume a 3:1 ratio of Omega-6s to Omega-3s, the average American diet provides a ratio of 15:1 and often 30:1 !

Discover delicious coconut oil recipes.

Also use Nutiva’s Coconut Oil as a soothing moisturizer for dry or sunburned skin, and a luscious massage oil.

Nutiva’s Extra-Virgin organic Coconut Oil is packaged in a 15, 29, & 54-ounce clear PET bottles, with bulk sizes offered in 1-, 5-, and 54-gallon containers.

Coconut oil: The Real Story

Coconut oil’s amazing nutritional qualities and why it was demonized.

Since the 1960s, coconut oil has been unfairly labeled as “unhealthy.” The media reported studies of how tropical coconut oils were laden with artery-clogging fats. What wasn’t reported was the fact that the coconut oil used in the studies was hydrogenated – not the virgin oil used for centuries as a staple food. We now know it’s hydrogenation – artificially adding a hydrogen molecule to oils in order to make them shelf-stable – that’s the problem, not coconut oil. Hydrogenated soy, corn, and canola oils – loaded with dangerous trans-fats and processed with toxic hexane solvents – are routinely added to packaged foods. Hydrogenation fattened corporate profits and American waistlines, and is now linked with diseases. [click to continue…]
