5.0 out of 5 stars How to use coconut to treat many common health problems, May 7, 2005

This review is from: Coconut Cures: Preventing and Treating Common Health Problems with Coconut (Paperback)

It was Bruce Fife who popularized the health and medical uses of coconut oil. Now in Coconut Cures: How To Prevent And Treat Common Health Problems With Coconut, Fife goes beyond coconut oil to reveal and explore the health benefits of the entire coconut including the coconut's meat, milk, and water. Coconut Cures describes why coconut water can be used and useful as an IV solution for sick patients because it has a chemical composition similar to human plasma and therefore injected directly into the blood stream while be a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Coconut meat can help balance blood sugar and control diabetes, protect against cancer, ease painful colitis and the discomforts of irritable bowel syndrome, help with weight loss, expel intestinal parasites, improve digestive function, aid in the elimination of hemorrhoids and varicose veins. More than a simple theoretical discussion of coconut benefits, Coconut Cures provides the reader with step-by-step instructions on how to use coconut to treat an A to Z list of many common health problems. Coconut Cures is a welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition to alternative health and medicine reference collections and reading lists.

This review is from: Coconut Cures: Preventing and Treating Common Health Problems with Coconut (Paperback)

I absolutely love to read books that teach me about the goodness in the foods that are available to us; this book certainly brought me joy. Discovering the amazing health benefits of coconut meat, milk, water and oil just amazed me. Here are just a few things that the coconut can do for you; prevent heart disease, dissolve kidney stones, enhance the immune system and protect against cancer. Wow! What an eye opener.

The book starts out with explaining about the coconut and giving you some examples how those on islands use it. Very interesting! After that, the author goes into the healing aspects of the fruit, from the meat to the oil. He does this in a very concise and easy to understand mannen; giving you examples of what they can do for you, how to use them and also gives testimonies on how this fruit has helped others.

I really enjoyed this book and intend to give what I have learned a try. I believe there are a lot of natural foods out there that we just don't know how good they are for us, now I believe coconut is one of them. I recommend this book for anyone
that is interested in being a healthier person. I believe you will find many health reasons to give coconuts a try. A read well worth your time.

This title is no exageration. We are talking cures. If you are new to the many health benefits of using coconut oil, this is the first book to read. It will get you excited about gaining more energy, losing weight, improving your skin, killing yeast in your gut, boosting your thyroid function, and on and on. All I can say is wow. I have been taking 2 tablespoons of VCO per day for a month, and I can say it really works. I have read many other books on this topic, but this is my favorite. As I was reading I had to keep jumping up to tell my husband each new impressive statistic.
