Answer
How much coconut oil should you take ?
Researchers state that the optimal amount for an adult is between 3 and 4 tablespoons per day. This equates to the amount of medium chain fatty acids a nursing child would consume in one day from mother's milk. It is best to use coconut oil three times a day at meal times. We recommend that you begin with a smaller amount and build up to the recommended dosage if necessary.
Coconut oil is one of the most stable oils you can buy. It does not turn rancid easily. It does not attack your arteries. In fact, coconut oil was one of the foods Weston Price studied in his journeys. He discovered that the coconut was considered, by the local populations, a medicine food. He found that those civilizations that consumed coconut regularly had no knowledge of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes.
Let’s take a look at the healing properties of coconut oil:
Coconut oil is antiviral, antifungal (kills yeast too) and antibacterial. It attacks and kills viruses that have a lipid (fatty) coating, such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, the flu, and mononucleosis. It kills the bacteria that cause pneumonia, sore throats, dental cavities, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, food poisoning, pneumonia, and many, many more bacterial infections. It kills the fungus/yeast infections that cause candida, ringworm, athletes foot, thrush, jock itch, diaper rash and more.
Coconut oil is called the "low fat" fat. It actually acts like a carbohydrate in that it is quickly broken down in the liver and used as quick energy. It is NOT stored like other fats. It boosts one’s energy and endurance. Many athletes use it blended into their drinks. It also supports thyroid function and increases your metabolism (great if you want to lose weight).
Coconut oil improves digestion and absorption of fat soluble vitamins, minerals (especially calcium and magnesium), and amino acids. It improves the body’s use of blood glucose and improves insulin secretion and absorption (great for type II diabetes). In fact, many diabetics (type I and type II) use it to reduce their symptoms. One’s risk of diabetes decreases with regular use of coconuts and coconut oil. And as we already mentioned, cooking with coconut oil does not create any harmful byproducts.
Coconut oil helps the body heal and repair faster. It aids and supports immune function, protecting us from a variety of cancers.
Coconut oil, contrary to much hubbub, is good for your heart. It keeps our blood platelets from sticking together (and causing dangerous clots). Regular users of coconut oils have a much lower chance of atherosclerosis (clogging of the arteries), arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and strokes. Coconut oil can lower your blood pressure.
Coconut oil is a natural antioxidant. It protects the body from free radical damage and prevents premature aging and degenerative diseases.
Finally, coconut oil is the best massage oil on the planet. What it does to your skin, you simply have to witness. It forms a barrier against infections, softens and moisturizes your skin, and prevents wrinkling, sagging, and age spots. It promotes healthy hair and complexion, protects from any damaging UV rays.

Olive oil or coconut for skin?
Q. Which is better
Answer
DHC has a great olive oil product line that is not greasy.
Olive leaf extract from olive oil has great regenerative effects on the skin.
Cocoa butter with vitamin e is the best, however, for scars and stretch marks, wrinkle prevention and skin discoloration.
Using cocobutter is simple: You can never put too much on, because it is mostly water. The water will evaporate off your skin when your body as absorbed enough. It's like self timing moisture.
Depending on what your skin type is, olive oil is Awesome! It is not greasy when applied properly. You can mix the olive oil with bottled water (in a dark painted bottle, the oil shouldn't be stored in the light, it will become rancid and mix in some jasmine or rose oil, camelia oil, your favorite perfume, squirt a bit in there. You will have a home made oil that is great for after bath/shower like Neutragena's sesame oil (which smells great, but does affect the skin as quickly as olive oil).
If you have scars, stretch marks, acne marks, etc, this can get rid of them:
Cleanse the area.
(Exfoliate instead, three times a week)
Tone, Loreal makes a great Daily Use Toner. Heaven!
Moisturize as directed above.
You will see results within 4 days.
2 weeks a whole new texture.
4 months, you will have to take a picture of before and AFTER to appreciate every single bit of improvement, because you won't believe it!
Have a fantastic day!
