    probably for persistently giving medical advice which though most likely was right nevertheless went against mainstream medicine and site rules.

    eltrot - sorry for the confusion, I find it cheaper on coconoil 'cos I buy 6 packs and that works out at £7.66 each. Either way it's a really good addition to ones diet.

    Hello all! My 400g tub of coconoil turned up this morning yipee! I'm LC'ing too so looking forward to seeing some results :)

    ETA: So far, having it in coffee is giving me nausea. Maybe jumping right in with 1 tablespoon was overdoing it. Will try it with hot water *before* meals tomorrow. Happy to report that using it as a moisturiser on skin and scalp has gone down a treat. Apparently I smell tropilicious ;)

    Very informative site re coconut and all its benefits. But a bit pricey compared to what I pay, still this is a glass jar and the one I currently buy is plastic.
    Even so, well worth a good look all over the site.

    Been using olive oil since my six year old was a new born baby. Oil as a baby massage lotion. A moisturiser put on wet skin you only use a little then. Cooking. Hair conditioner. I use sea salt as a facial scrub mixed with face wash.

    I am at work and wish I was at home as I'm suffering with stomach cramps and bloating (hormonal) and the last time I had this I took a teaspoon of coconut oil and within 45mins the symptons had gone and I was feeling human again! Roll on 5pm:o

    I use coconoil and its great! Feels lovely on the skin as a moisturiser and smells delicious! Great for your nails too. I use it for frying but tend not to use too much as the coconut taste can take over! Not tried it on my hair yet but might just give it a go. A spoonful in my morning coffee is quite nice but tends to leave a greasy feeling on my lips, but hey, if its good for me I'll put up with it!! x

    I forgot to tell y'all - I got the Tiana sample, it comes in a mini-jamjar, but on the (reportedly) hottest day of the year I was taken by surprise that it had liquefied, got it on my fingers, dropped it in the sink and it shattered :( I'd only used it twice - my face hated it but I was going to persevere. Generally my skin seems to hate any oil :(
