Yes they are.  Saturated fats are the good ones.  Unsaturated means the fat molecule has free bonds which draws good things from your body to make itself whole.  Mono means one bond free, poly means many...  My friend down the road was having female troubles as well as weight issues and she was avoiding fat like the plague.  Someone who knows what is up told her to start eating saturated fats like coconut oil and butter because not having them is actually the problem and now she's doing great.  

So much of what we have heard in the recent past as far as diets go are just fads designed to sell us stuff. Heck, as an aside I bet most people don't know that canola oil is actually rapeseed oil, used for machinery i.e tanks etc in WWII.  The birds don't eat the crops so they thought hey, lets rename it and start selling it to people as a healthy food.  Don't trust the industrialised food industry, they are not looking out for our health, rather they are worried about their wallet.

I use coconut oil for everything - moisturizer, eye makeup remover, overnight hair conditioner, cooking, etc etc.

Essential oils too - in bath and diffuser. So many uses and remedies.

We forget thst cures and help come in nature. They have been used for ages. Thanks for another use. Love my coconut oil.

I need to research this a bit more, but what about the fats in it?  Are they saturated fats?  Do they post a risk for anyone with cholesterol issues?  

Thanks!

Coconut oil is an anti-fungal that restores gut health.  50% of our feel good chemicals are produced in your gut, it contains kgs worth of bacteria on a side not.   After opiate abuse our guts are not happy, taking coconut oil is going to help them :)  I'd recommend to anyone to do a cleanse diet before/after detoxing also, as it helps with the process immensely.

So proud of you on your 79 days clean! Im an on day 13 off Suboxone, I actually have Coconut oil in my pantry, I believe it is organic, but does that make a difference? I also take a lot of vitamins, which helps so much. At night I take Valerian root and melatonin, and skullcap is good for anxiety, So, you take 3 tbs in the morning or at night, and how is the taste? my stomach is really off still and weird smells and tastes make me really nauseated. Im going to try it today, Ive heard how good it is for you. Do you mind me asking what your DOC was? I understand if you dont want to discuss it yet. Thanks for the tip! I will do anything it takes to feel good again. XOXO Carrie
