   By the night time I felt much better. I continued the same regime on Saturday. By Sunday I was almost back to normal. I want to demonstrate 2 points - the quicker you deal with health problems the faster you can overcome them. This is particularly important in today's society where many people can't afford to have a week sick due to work commitments and looking after children. The second is that simple things often work very well. Home remedies do still have a place in treatment regimes. If you feel like you are coming down with something take immediate action. Call me and I can give you some advice. Although many things can resolve themselves, a helping hand is sometimes needed to hasten the process.  Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut are in a medium-chain form called lauric acid, which the body then converts to monolaurin which has been shown to kill viruses, bacteria, yeasts and parasites. Monolaurin also strengthens the immune system, promotes brain and nervous system development, protects against cancers and heart disease and assists the uptake of omega 3 fatty acids. Coconut oil increases the levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol. The medium chain fatty acids are easily broken down and absorbed by the body, and preferentially used as an energy source, similar to the way the body burns carbohydrates. The oils in coconut oil stimulate metabolism and thermogenesis (the burning of calories to create energy). A report published in 2000 has indicated that you can burn off coconut oil three times faster than other fats. Coconut oil is in fact the best oil to cook with, because it remains the most stable and will not turn toxic under high heat. It is important that the coconut products have not been hydrogenated first, as this is where the problem lies. Not all fats are bad fats. Why not reconsider the use of coconut oil and milk throughout your cooking?  Before you buy a supplement next time, get some advice. I would rather you call or email me and ask about a particular supplement before you buy it. I do prescribe practitioner-only supplements because I believe that they are superior due to the quality of ingredients, reputations of the supplier and their effectiveness. However, I can also give you advice on other brands which still may be OK to use.     Honeysuckle as a Bach remedy could help people who cannot seem to let go of past loves, thoughts and patterns. It can assist the path of moving forward and being able to experience and love what is happening now. It helps to deal with feelings of homesickness, or pining for past loves. |
