Yep, the kind of coconut oil I look for is virgin unrefined and organic.

Most people, including doctors have believed the bad press that coconut oil has gotten in the last 20 years. I believed it too until I read “The Coconut Oil Miracle”.

Fats like hydrogenated veg oils and canola are the real bad fats. But advertizing has said they are good and people believe it. Those oils are in all kinds of poor quality fake foods in the supermarket. For instance sunflower and safflower oils are not good for us. But they sound good. Canola is a word that was made up. The “Can” stands for Canada. Canola is a genetically modified version of the old grain called rapeseed. Canola is a bad fat that millions of us have used.

Coconut oil is much maligned, while true unhealthy oils get good press. The makers of other oils spread false info on coconut oil.

Most doctors will say it is bad for us. They are wrong and have bought the lies. These are the same doctors that don’t know about modern food allergy tests and offer their patients psychiatric drugs instead of the real cure of eating non-allergenic food.

Bruce Fife’s book “The Coconut Oil Miracle” explains it all and why coconut oil, meat and milk is good, and canola and other oils are actually bad.

It has to do with long chain vs.short chain fatty acids.

That book explains it in great detail.

Traditional doctors never would have offered me or my sister the Meridian Valley type of food allergy blood test, and we’d both be sicker and on our way to a slow painful decline. Most doctors offer old fashioned skin tests for allergies for a few things only.

I never limit my coconut oil. If I haven’t cooked or baked with it, I eat a spoonful every day for healthy cell walls,to go with the nutrition I give the cells. The book “Never Be Sick Again” explains that.

It’s a lot of info, added to my food sensitivities, but I need to use it all to be healthy.

I have only run into one person this year, who knows that coconut oil and other coconut products are healthy. Everyone else cringes and says what they heard over the last decade.

I always go outside the box to get the truth. In the case of my sister seeking help away from her traditional doctor, it saved us both.

Cheers!

Then, what about Thursday - when you take over the “Pray for our Heroes and Nation”? That must make three very full days for you, M-L! Bless your heart.

Zero Tolerance
October 27, 2011

When Shayla McKnight applied for a job for an online printing company, she was surprised to learn that they had a zero-tolerance policy for gossip. The employees are encouraged to confront one another, instead of gossip about their fellow employees. If employees are caught gossiping, they are reprimanded, and if they continue, they are fired.

Long before this kind of policy was ever implemented by a company, God spoke of His own zero-tolerance policy for gossip and slander among His people (Lev. 19:16). Idle talk that foolishly or maliciously spreads rumors or facts about another person was forbidden.

Solomon said that speaking badly of others could have disastrous effects. It betrays confidence (Prov. 11:13), separates close friends (16:28; 17:9), shames and saddles you with a bad reputation (25:9-10), and perpetually fuels the embers of a quarrel (26:20-22). People rarely can undo the damage their untrue words have done to a neighbor.

Let’s ask the Lord to help us not to engage in harmful talk about others. He wants us to set a guard over our mouths so that we’ll instead speak all the good we know about everybody.

Many things that others say
Are not for us to tell;
Help us, Lord, to watch our tongue—
We need to guard it well. —Branon

Destroy gossip by ignoring it.

Read: Leviticus 19:11-18

You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people. —Leviticus 19:16
Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 12-14; 2 Timothy 1

Naked!

I just wanted to use the word, to tell the naked truth,
I sure got your attention, though, by being so uncouth.
We’ve come to have an attitude of shame about our nature,
Which seems to be affected somehow by its nomenclature.

There’s little then to stand between the naked and the nude,
Except that one’s an artful pose and in the other, someone’s rude.
The word itself is strange you know, I mean, for goodness sake,
Though people end up naked no one ever seems to nake.

Naked we came into the world, and naked we shall leave it,
Shorn of our possessions and our pride, you can believe it.
To stand before the Lord with only what we’ve done to show,
There is no hiding then from what the Lord will surely know.

An unimpressive specimen, denuded of its glory,
And unlikely to impress with any kind of cover story.
But still forgiving is our Lord of all the things that we may lack,
And we presume to know this much because he hasn't sent us back.

Amy, Billie and Nicknamed Bob,
An interesting opening, today, for sure!

"An unimpressive specimen, denuded of its glory,
And unlikely to impress with any kind of cover story."


I don't mind being nekkid
But, it WOULD be nice
If someone got me a bra!

I went to “Latin School” for Jr. High, and all the halls had nekkid statues. When nobody was looking, we used to paint David’s toes red, or put a (BIG) bra on Venus De Milo!
