Common-sense solution: Virgin coconut oil (2 of 2)

The story of Karen, a 50-year-old homemaker whose husband was a chain smoker. He had the nasty habit of smoking before bedtime and for 25 years, she was a victim of second-hand smoke. Fearful that she may contract cancer, since second-hand smoke is more toxic for non-smokers, Karen went for an executive check-up with her husband.

Doctors were surprised to find her in good health. But her husband had stage 2 lung cancer. When asked what her regimen was, she replied that her strictest regimen was two tablespoons of VCO daily before breakfast. This, plus mega doses of Vitamin C.

George, a 35-year-old businessman, was born asthmatic. All his life he survived on antihistamines, steroids and antibiotics. Three years ago, he discovered VCO through a friend who swore he never caught a cold or the flu since consuming it. After a month of taking three tablespoons of VCO a day, he noticed he had not had a single asthma attack. He is now a VCO advocate.

There are many other success stories of people with chronic fatigue, yeast infections, hemorrhoids and skin problems who not only drank VCO but used it as topical treatment. All of them, including myself, are proponents of a healthier life through virgin coconut oil.

Take one to three tablespoons of VCO on an empty stomach before breakfast. Or mix it in your juice or oatmeal. Great as a drizzle over salads too.
