Many health / whole food stores now carry coconut oil and various other products, and Walmart grocery stores carry an excellent version of coconut milk at a competitive price (Thai Kitchen brand, see below). There are many sources online for purchasing coconut oil, coconut milk, and unsweetened grated coconut, some of which are listed below. Several authors are well recognized for their insights re: the healing powers of coconut products as well as the use of the oil as a safer and superior oil for healthy cooking, and links to their books and articles are listed too. Good recipes can be found online as well as in many of the books about this fruit, and arguments / healing perspectives can be considered by following the links also. Other info online is abundant, but these are good starting points - Rowena and I collect coconut foods links, so here is a good start on those we favor! For even more GG posts about coconut
products, GG members can search the archives. Happy reading!

Coconut Flour for Aussies:
A Low-Carb, Gluten Free Alternative to Wheat

 

 Cooking with Coconut Flour: A Delicious Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Alternative to Wheat

 by Bruce Fife

Do you love breads, cakes, pies, cookies, and other wheat products but can't eat them because you are allergic to wheat or sensitive to gluten? Perhaps you avoid wheat because you are concerned about your weight and need to cut down on carbohydrates. If so, the solution for you is coconut flour. Coconut flour is a delicious, healthy alternative to wheat. It is high in fiber, low in digestible carbohydrate, and a good source of protein. It contains no gluten so it is ideal for those with celiac disease.

 

 Coconut Lover's Cookbook

If you like coconut, you will love this book. It's written for coconut lovers as well as for the growing number of health conscious individuals who recognize coconut as a marvelous health food. This book contains nearly 450 recipes with a mixture of both vegetarian and nonvegetarian dishes to choose from. Concerned about sugar? No problem. Every sweet or dessert recipe includes a low sugar version. These recipes use very little sugar or none at all.

Coconut is ideal for low-carbohydrate diets because it contains very little effective (i.e., digestible) carbohydrate. It consists primarily of indigestible fiber and, therefore, is a healthy and tasty low-carbohydrate, high-fiber food. The milk, cream, and oil are also low in carbohydrate and give foods a rich creamy taste and texture that is both healthy and delicious.

 Saturated Fat May Save Your Life

By Bruce Fife

 

Vegetable oils, often touted as healthy alternatives to saturated fat are actually a nutritionist's nightmare. Since their introduction into the human food supply several decades ago, disease rates have skyrocketed. Saturated fat and cholesterol consumption has remained relatively constant, but vegetable oil consumption has increased many fold. Our disease rate has followed right along.

The Coconut Oil Miracle, book by Bruce Fife
(published several coconut books, well respected author and specialist in this area)

 


 The Coconut Oil Miracle (Previously published as The Healing Miracle of Coconut Oil)
By Bruce Fife

Not only will it be impossible for you to put this book down, you should show it to everybody that you truly care about, especially those that suffer from excessive weight, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and immune system disorders.

 



Mary Enig, author and science researcher specializing in fats & oils for health, wrote several recently published books on this topic and strongly advocates the inclusion of coconut products in the healthy diet. Good start: her book: Know Your Fats.

 Know Your Fats : The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils and Cholesterol

By Mary Enig.

Dr. Enig has authored numerous journal publications, mainly on fats and oils research and nutrient/drug interactions, and is a well-known invited lecturer at scientific meetings and a popular interviewee on TV and radio shows about nutrition. She was an early and articulate critic of the use of trans fatty acids and advocated their inclusion in nutritional labeling; the scientific mainstream is now challenging the food product industry's use of trans-containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

 


 

 Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
by Sally Fallon, Mary G. Enig, Pat Connolly

The Diet Dictocrats don't want you to know that...
Your body needs old-fashioned animal fats New-fangled polyunsaturated oils can be bad for you Modern whole grain products can cause health problems Traditional sauces promote digestion and assimilation Modern food processing denatures our foods but Ancient preservation methods actually increase nutrients in fruits, nuts vegetables, meats and milk products!

At last a successful challenge to Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats!

The Coconut Diet : The Secret Ingredient That Helps You Lose Weight While You Eat Your Favorite Foods
By Cherie Calbom
with John Calbom
Following the success of The Ultimate Smoothie Book, Cherie Calbom offers this diet based on groundbreaking research that proves coconut oil promotes weight loss. Low-carb diets like Atkins and South Beach are the hottest weight loss programs on the market, but they could work faster and more effectively with the addition of one ingredient: coconut oil. Not only does it boost metabolism and speed weight loss, there is evidence that suggests that adding a small amount of coconut oil into ones daily diet can help lower cholesterol; improve conditions such as diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, Crohns, and other digestive disorders; enhance thyroid production; and increase overall energy.


 

 Eat Fat, Lose Fat: Lose Weight And Feel Great With The Delicious, Science-based Coconut Diet
By Dr Mary Enig & Sally Fallon

In this new addition to the fast-fix diet book shelf, Enig and Fallon attempt to correct what they see as Americans' false belief that tropical fats and oils (such as coconut and palm) are unhealthy, asserting that those fats (and coconut, especially) are beneficial saturated fats that should be more heavily incorporated into our diets. Enig, a biochemist and nutritionist, along with Fallon, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation (a non-profit dedicated to helping people implement healthy approaches to nutrition), say "high-fat, low-carb really works," eschewing the disastrous effects a high-fat diet can have on a person's heart. They like the Atkins diet, but say it doesn't take advantage of the "metabolism-boosting" powers of coconut oil.


 

Eat Fat Look Thin: A Safe and Natural Way to Lose Weight Permanently

By Bruce Fife

 

his book exposes many common myths and misconceptions about fats. It reveals new, cutting-edge research on the world’s only natural, low-calorie fat-a fat that not only has fewer calories than any other fat, but one which also stimulates metabolism and burns up calories. Yes, you can lose weight by eating fat, if you use the right kind. Combined with a sensible eating plan, you can shed excess weight, enjoy the foods you love, and gain better health.

 

 Coconut Oil: For Health and Beauty
by Cynthia Holzapfel, Laura Holzapfel

This book makes a convincing case that coconut oil and coconut milk are as good for one's health as they are delicious!

 

 


IMPORTANT NOTE: Coconut oil is best obtained from oil cold pressed fresh at source rather than oil made from copra and subjected to all sorts of chemical processes!

Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue & Irritable Bowel: Treating Symptoms Treating Cause

By Dr Gregory K. Penniston
(The re-titled new edition to
The Guaifenesin Guide)

A unique book that gives sufferers and their families clear explanations and practical information on every type of treatment for these distressing and hard to manage disorders. It dispels the misconceptions, that lead some people to dismiss these conditions, with thoughtful explanations and reasoning. This book gives emphasis to eliminating the conditions by addressing their 'cause', with a commonly used 'over-the-counter' medication, guaifenesin and provides detailed, easy-to-follow guidelines.

Parting the Fog: The Personal Side of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

By Sue Jones, a GG Member

Parting the Fog" is a candid, first person account of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone suffering from fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. It relays the seriousness of this condition in an easy-to-read manner, while employing humor and focusing on hope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crack Up at the Wake of Dawn: Everyday Poetry to Incite and Delight Your Soul

Another great Book from our GG Member Sue Jones!  If you are a fan of "Parting the Fog", you won't want to miss this book. Although it isn't specific to fibro, you WILL find chapters you can closely relate to, since many topics are dealt with. Some of the poems may make you cry, others make you laugh, and still others trigger a thought or give you greater insight. Whichever the case, you won't be left unaffected.
