I'd read the author's previous book "The Coconut Oil Miracle" years ago and the information was buried under the avalanche of further reading I've done since. Recently several books took me back to coconut and I got both this book and the previous one, by the same author. As far as I can tell, all the information from the previous book is also in this one, which includes further information about the healing powers of coconut meat, milk and cream. I would therefore suggest getting this book, rather than the earlier "The Coconut Oil Miracle", although both are excellent. (Papaya/Pawpaw is another miracle fruit worth checking out, by the way.)

Coconut oil, milk, juice, flesh, leaves and burlap from its tree have all been used for centuries by tropical inhabitants. The author offers good, informative details about the miracle of coconut. Much information is given on the health benefits (yes BENEFITS) of saturated fats and the "smear" campaign of the vegetable oil industry. In fact coconut oil can help weight loss for the obese and weight gain for the over-skinny as well as reduce heart disease and many, many other health problems: it may prevent and even reverse all sorts of things from inflammation to infections. And allergies. And skin conditions, including fungus.

It's been only three weeks so far but I'm pleased with small but noticeable improvements myself. I've passed out a couple of samples too, and can report that a colleague still had a very sore mouth more than 48 hours after a major dental procedure but the soreness stopped less than one minute after rubbing coconut oil on his gums and teeth. He kept rubbing for a couple of days, each time any soreness returned. A parent rubbed the oil on shingles, which reduced the burning every time.

The only drawback is that the author seemed to elevate coconut as the sole reason islanders are healthy. Many modern insults, like vaccinations and the adoption of a Western diet, are involved in the increasing health problems worldwide, not JUST the omission of coconut oil. It is accepted that islanders' health has degenerated, but ignoring coconut oil is not the only reason. However, this is a minor drawback.

[Later notes: I feel it's important to mention the new mental/emotional healing process explained in "The Healing Code" by Loyd/Johnson/Eble. There are hundreds of personal successes listed in the reviews on Amazon.com.

For those looking for general health improvements, I also suggest:
- "Outsmart Your Cancer" by Tanya Harter Pierce is a considered and thoughtful review of successful alternative remedies - and, anything that can HEAL cancer is also a general healer and should be able to help much else in the body;
- "Never Fear Cancer Again" by Raymond Francis, a brilliant distillation of what is truly needed for health;
- "Trick and Treat", which turns upside down everything governments have told us to eat for health;
- "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy" by Sircus on the amazing benefits of magnesium - a fundamental supplement for a healthy body - particularly magnesium chloride flakes (transdermally), available comparatively cheaply, and
- "The XXL Syndrome", basically a booklet, about the essential part potassium plays in health (food grade potassium bicarbonate powder is also available cheaply.]

The Coconut Cookbook by Bruce Fife is a highly acclaimed book about coconut oil. Bruce Fife provides all the answers about commons myths and misconceptions about coconut oil. Eating coconut oil on a regular basis can reduce your chances of suffering a heart attack! Coconut oil is composed of a group of unique fat molecules known as medium-chain fatty acids. 'Though they are technically classified as saturated fats, this fat can actually protect you from getting a heart attack or suffering a stroke. A much more accurate way to judge heart disease risk is to separate the two types of cholesterol. Therefore, the ratio of the bad to good cholesterol (LDL/HDL) is universally recognized as a far more accurate indicator of heart disease risk. Because of coconut oil's tendency to increase HDL, the cholesterol ratio improves and thus decreases risk of heart disease.

People who traditionally consume large quantities of coconut oil as part of their ordinary diet have a very low incidence of heart disease and have normal blood cholesterol levels. This has been well supported by numerous studies. The research shows that those people who consume large quantities of coconut oil have remarkably good cardiovascular health. Research has demonstrated that medium-chain fats in coconut oil protect against heart disease and may one day even be used as a treatment to cure it.

Coconut oil consumption has many factors associated with a reduced risk of heart disease compared to other dietary oils namely:
* Improved cholesterol readings
* Lower body fat deposition
* Higher survival rate
* Reduced tendency to form blood clots
* Fewer uncontrolled free radicals in cells
* Low levels of blood and liver cholesterol
* Higher antioxidant reserves in cells
* Lower incidence of heart disease in population studies.
From this evidence alone coconut oil should be viewed as heart healthy or at least benign as far as heart disease is concerned.

But there is another factor, that is even more important, that reveals coconut oil as not simply a benign bystander but a very important player in the battle against heart disease. So remarkable is it, that it may soon become a powerful new weapon used against heart disease. Heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis account for nearly half of all the deaths in the United States. Statistically, one out of every two people you know will die from one of these cardiovascular conditions. In countries where people eat a lot of coconut products cardiovascular disease is much less frequent. It appears that by simply using coconut oil in you daily diet in place of other oils you can achieve a remarkable degree of protection from heart disease and stroke. I would also recommend The Coconut Oil Miracle (Previously published as The Healing Miracle of Coconut Oil) by Bruce Fife.

I've heard before that coconut oil is good for you, but could not say why exactly.

This book provides all the answers, and even more. It looks into the use of coconut oil from both scientific and practical point of views. Detailed explanations why you should use this oil and not the refined commercial oils are mixed with real-life testimonials when people with different ailments healed themselves with coconut oil.

Since reading this book I ordered 6 jars of virgin coconut oil and use it for cooking or as a cream (good for sunburns or as an after-shave) and can confirm that it is so much better even if compared to quality olive oil (I was not using refined vegetable oil like sunflower etc for a while). Most notable effect was that kids have a much better appetite and seem to enjoy rice with vegetables much more if it has coconut oil added.

I would recommend everyone to read this book and start using coconut oil (and bin all refined oils) - you will feel a difference!
