Coconut, “A Unique Miracle Ketone from the Tree of Life,” some say one of the most powerful fruits out here in the tropics and they say the Caribbean coconut is the richest of them all and it certainly is the best coconut oil I have had yet that is for sure.

The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family) and grows well anywhere in the sand, swamp, dry terrain, the salty beach and up on a hill if you bring it there – a coconut, can be thrown, float, across the sea or down the river, and grow to large communities in almost any tropical or subtropical setting.

Today we are mostly discussing and ranking the best coconut oil – if you just want to skip to that, click here, but just remember knowledge is power so you want that first and foremost!

The coconut meat and water have oil that is arguably essential to our life in the tropics, and here at ND we want only the best nutrition and that means the best coconut oil, for our team and for our friends and clients.

That is the way a REAL team does it and let me happily tell you, welcome to REAL people and I can’t tell you enough – REAL and seriously beneficial oil.

On this island here, Isla Colon, Panama there are several varieties of coconut and, billions of coconut trees everywhere.

Coconut trees produce roughly one coconut per day. Our family farm here in Panama with only ten or so coconut trees fills about three, two-gallon jugs every day with pure agua de pipa. Coconuts, like cactus in the desert, are all day moving water supplies, that you can easily tap everywhere you look.

The magnificent natural phenomenon’s hard to penetrate shell makes it a good water source even in heavily contaminated environments and water that you can take with you.

The most common encampments of coconut trees are down towards sea levels but humans too have spread them across many occupied terrains and mountains. The coconut itself is considered botanically a drupe.

At different ages the coconut, named after the 1600’s Portuguese word variant for a skull, husk fiber can produce everything from plates and rope to bedding to lasting charcoal.

The coconut has been used throughout the ages for skincare and cosmetics, intestinal treatment, and hearty nutrition. Sprouts produce an all-natural ice cream-like foam inside nut that is much more delicious than any of the 31 flavors.

These are some of the healthiest things around. Much of the Caribbean cuisine is cooked with coconut oil.

Tests by several patients and doctors have produced amazing results in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients.

Dr. Mary Newport after seeing patent-related information about improved cognitive functioning in low functioning patients, in Cocos nucifera therapy tests, decided to try and start to treat her husband’s Alzheimer’s condition with the oil. Two tablespoons a day is what she identified as the MED (minimum effective dose).

No more hydrogenated oil!: Using investigator Ancel Keys’ 1950’s unique findings of heart disease relations to hydrated vegetable oils, marketers switched gears with a crafty twist and sold the public on the demoralization of all saturated fats. Another completely unnecessary break-it-down “direction of dissection” and tinker inside or cut something out because the Ph.D. knows better than nature – ridiculous mistake.

Public minds are easily sold on the extract and tinkering concepts, that “this miracle, best coconut oil comes from a process only a big company can do and you can’t do it on your own.” Customers not knowing that all these product makers are doing is putting a bad twist on a natural element or combination of natural elements and a very simple process that can be done at home and selling it as a product rather than showing where or how it grows and how to make that product yourself; are many times willing to pay much more for the product than they normally would.

If they were educated about its making they would not buy the product. It is because of these very separations that we don’t understand full spectrum diet functionality and don’t have all the little hints at it that nature is constantly giving us.

The vegetable oil product is an interesting one, that you do need the big company to create and the substance builds up in the system. I first saw it easily visible in colonoscopy comparisons towards the start of my “nutritional career.” I will give modern Academia credit, in Panama I saw this none of my U.S. colleagues know what I am talking about.

The “poor stoor” here in Panama does not even offer the coconut oil that is right here in the tropics sometimes, and if not the only option is hydrogenated vegetable oil. Panama has a very low general health statistic and a very high obesity rate. We also have some of the best nutrition available in all directions that are completely ignored by the local culture – surely the effects of the inquisition.
Almost all the local food here is fried in this vegetable oil.

Costa Rica or “tico-culture” is a small improvement in more diverse production but not by much -generally.

It is the “gringo” permaculture movement armed with the permaculture bible that has really capitalized on the growth potential of some of the last dense jaguar corridor left – which is badly in need of defense and protection NOW!

In that exceptional culture of foreigner-inspired permaculture from the Mullison text or the Steiner text (my personal style), Costa Rica finds itself on the cutting edge of tropical geography meets the permaculture social-cultural movement.

That being said, everyone here recognizes the value of coconuts no matter what cool text they go buy or what resource potential they have.

The smartest of a poorest young person I have seen – and in ten years being me, I have seen them all, and it’s a fairly top-shelf cat that stays to himself, chooses to have no boss, and harvests coconut waters for 50 cents to the locals and a dollar to the tourists to make a good 30 to 100 dollars a day and BE FREE. It is almost as if you help and offer an alternate gig this obvious respectable tough guy as you should, he may* start to lose that brilliance that caught the old-school eye in the first place.

Let me explain also what foreign readers may not understand about the way this highly productive tropical earth has been revered over time.

Agriculture throughout the Americas pre-Spanish conquest was arguably some of the most advanced agriculture ever performed in known history. Post-Spanish or English inquisition (North America) agriculture dropped from that level of advancement to the current “monoculture mess.”

The oil from the fruit is less industrious usually for the scale of miracle oils, and it’s a more obvious natural process that we can do ourselves and coconut palms can’t be stopped once started. These palms can actually spread the roots that make the island.

The famed internet Dr. Mercola, who is usually reputed as the “sell-out” doctor on the web is “sure” that it is the hydrogenation process that these companies are using that is the problem for people and not saturated fat itself. We know that is definitely correct.

Dr. Bruce Fife found out why it was in baby formula, and candida medication, in his research, and agreed that any hydrogenated oil would be no good.  He found out that the Pacific Islanders call the coconut palm “the tree of life,” and have considered it a cure to all things. Dr. Fife discovered that populations that eat the most coconut oil actually have the least heart disease. He says that coconut oil satisfies hunger more and makes food go longer, consuming it at times in even fewer calories.

This has felt true in my own trials so quickly it is easily undeniable and I have used it to ease the digestion of protein supplements well in the past also both of which could be because coconut oil harbors more nutritional uptake, and inspires more metabolic activity.

Dr. Bruce says that because of metabolic increase inspired by a simple ‘oil change’ to high triglyceride miracle coconut oil the body can even clean up residue from past mistakes, in a sort of “it takes a good oil to cut grease” way.

He says the best coconut oil contains similar properties to human breast milk and can restore proper thyroid function which will support the repair of a number of things.

He claims that HIV is affected by contact with coconut oil, herpes, and various types of infections also registered improvement. He tells stories of seriously ill individuals with numerous problems, and few months to live, who could not afford any medical treatment who took 6 tablespoons a day of coconut oil and rapidly within 9 months had restored complete health, hair grown back even.

Dr. Newport and several other independent studies searchable on Youtube and the internet, sum to extensive research and overwhelming success with Alzheimer patients, Parkinson’s, dementia, and other brain-related conditions by simply switching to coconut oil for cooking.

I have been using the oil now, for 6 years and I can testify that inside and out it is helpful, vital stuff that keeps me running smooth, healthy, and flexible even.

BENEFITS

Cocos nucifera fights disease, promotes health. [1]

Coconut water is incredibly vital and sustainable for human beings, containing important electrolytes and vitamins, and can be a more than viable cultivar for this purpose. [2]

The coconut tree is a strong grower and it is the most widely spread fruit tree on Earth. Phytochemical studies of the best coconut fiber (mesocarp) ethanolic extract revealed that the presence of phenols, tannins, leucoanthocyanidins, flavonoids, triterpenes, steroids, and alkaloids, while a butanol extract recovered triterpenes, saponins, and condensed tannins [3]

The best coconut balances cholesterol levels [4.]

Coconut material, from inside to out is valuable stuff. the husk functions as charcoal and several brushes are made for various purposes around the world from it. This husk material which makes up 40% of the overall material, in the form of powdered particles and long fibers is also inherently resistant to fungi.    [5,6]

The delicious waters at various stages of growth have been evaluated for the treatment of anemia and bleeding disorders, presenting affects hematological and coagulative.  [8]

SIDE EFFECTS

Too much can cause heavy blocks, this is rich food. Vomiting and bowel issues can be a result of over-consuming. If eating the white meat, shredded or by the piece, I would say one coconut’s worth, or 20 grams a day, throughout the day is an appropriate amount and consumption rate of this food.

All nutrients or combinations of the mode of function for healing or toxin lies in the dose(s).

There are no seen side effects from coconut oils, except for a change in stool composure. [4]

EXPERIENCE

We use it for almost everything. The water, the food, the ice cream nut in the center of the new sprout.  We use the husk for soil mixes, they help aerate the soil.

I have to recommend the oil be applied lightly to the skin of most people, who don’t have a shower filter or home water filter. We don’t realize it but the chlorine in city water does a small amount of damage to our skin organs, and the little bit of oil soothes and helps repair that.

Highlights:

1. don’t use vegetable, sunflower seed, soy, or palm oils anymore.
2. use coconut oil!

Cooking with nutritionally diverse greens mixes and the oil of Cocos nucifera is almost always a plus for taste and the best for functionality. So I will have like 17 different greens in one plate’s n spectrum that I usually cook in cow or goat milk butter or coconut oil. Olive oil is also okay for cooking, all great things have lots of haters.

The coconut oil is my favorite for cooking the high diversity veg stuff, where not many other options click so rightly.

As a crop and benefit on the farmland, I intend to do a few whole new canopy layers in one permaculture I work with total coco palms in a three sisters tropical repercussion (the original being from the desert).

Banana circles would go well competing with the palm planted a few years later on the outside line, allowing the middle compost a regular donating of the cascaras. The tree can be used to tighten up swampland with lots of planting, because of the way the stringy roots cling and work together. I imagine a version of the three sisters, could be achieved using coconut trees, plantains, and pumpkin squash or passion fruit, or both and a few more inclusions why not – the more diverse the healthier!

Even though I have been working with the best coconut, for quite a while now I still don’t have the full use picture. [7]

Once opened the material will go bad quickly if not refrigerated or even frozen.

The best topical oil and skin treatment ever invented. It keeps mosquitos off me all by itself, on a hot day, it may need to be re-applied a lot.

I recommend taking the best fish oil supplement and daily multivitamins with coconut oil, to help ease the bad taste and enhance the uptake of the fish oil essences.

Around the world the best coconut oil has been known to treat a great many things to include; burns, flu, colitis, bronchitis, colitis, dropsy, erysipelas, gonorrhea, kidney stones, parasites, asthma colds, ulcers, bruises, constipation, dysentery, fever, lice, hemorrhoids, cancer, bladder infections earache, edibility, gingivitis, jaundice, nausea, scurvy, scabies, syphilis, swelling, mal-nutrition, sore throat, toothache, thyroid, rashes, tuberculosis, wounds, and leishmaniasis. There are millions of cures to these ailments, in fact, these symptoms will never be experienced by an NDdieter or wild animal. For one drupe to carry such power and resource and be so reproductive is a clear sign for mandatory use – of the toughest guys anyways.

We had the worst case of athletes’ feet go around our team, and we tried essential oils, other oils, it was a week of simple coconut oil that did the trick.

DISCUSSION

Oil mixing is a great practice so is leaf and root soaking.

I have a theory that some of my highly diverse oil mixes function in multiples of performance benefits over single oils used alone. I have been mixing and ozonating oils (topical application only for ozonated) like a mad scientist for a few years now. Healthy stuff all of it as long as it is sourced right.

Oils in ferments are another nutritional lab experiment I have in regular play and the combination of the two (1). oil and (2). ferment makes for a more bioactive finish and we have produced some richness of taste here in this zone that is just unbelievable.

Some of my most proud kitchen creation has been at this level and several will be featured in an upcoming local menu that has no competitors.

For now, we want to make sure we have the best orderable products in this best coconut category and ready to order for those who may be making this, best stuff!

Those rankings are ongoing as always and we peppered this ranking with raw materials also with the kitchen creations in mind.

Another debate in the club is on salt versus oil ratios balancing and control effects in our NDer’s as most of us here in the tropics are on high salt intake modes and we have noticed that we *possibly need even more salt when using lots of oil.

FAQ

Q. Why do coconut oil prices vary so much?

A. Great question and I can’t find the viable answer but I can say that quality is not likely to shift anywhere near as much as the price.

It’s important especially now, to use companies you can trust, and operations that you can visit.

RECAP

Just give me the best stuff.
