The Coconut Oil Cure: Essential Recipes and Remedies to Heal Your Body Inside and Out

I am definitely a coconut oil novice. I really found this book informative on the history of how coconut oil got a bad reputation and its comeback. I learned that coconut oil was seen as unhealthy due to its saturated fat level. However, we now know that there are good saturated fats and that coconut oil appears to be healthier than hydrogenated oils with decreased risks of heart disease and cholesterol. I also learned about how coconut oil is extracted. Additionally, the book discussed health benefits of coconut oil and various claims. I particularly appreciated the layout of the book and that each chapter was clearly outlined (i.e., natural cosmetics, breakfast foods, smoothies and drinks etc..). I didn't even realize I can make my own cosmetics using coconut oil. The recipe's were fairly simple and easy to follow. The recipe's included serving sizes, prep times and cook times as well as helpful tips for many of the recipe's. I received this book at a discounted rate for review and inspection purposes in exchange for my hones and unbiased opinion. After reading this book, I will be purchasing a bottle of coconut oil on my next trip to the supermarket.

I have used coconut oil for some sautéing and for some skin moisturizers, but this book gives 130 recipes that go far beyond what I had ever thought of as uses for coconut oil. As the back of the cover testifies, it's "all you need to take advantage of coconut oil's many health benefits."From coconut-pumpkin smoothies to homemade vapor rubs, the ideas in this book will get your creativity flowing! I mixed up a batch of the stimulating scalp oil for my husband and he loved it! He said it really helped moisturize his hair and he saw no dandruff at all for several days after using it. (This from a man who has tried most dandruff shampoos on the market!). This book makes a wonderful addition to my natural remedies library and I was pleased to receive it to review!

Oh I'm so happy with my book. First of all it came super fast and arrived in perfect condition. I'm a book junkie and can be picky about books I spend my money on. Well, I must say it was well worth every penny. The useful information and recipes are worth their weight in gold. I've been drinking coconut oil blended in my coffee of a morning, using it to moisture my feet( dry heels) and even gave my cat a little to help pass a hair ball. I find myself reading a page or two every night before bed. Since using coconut oil I've lost six pounds. I'm also noticing a difference in my joints not hurting as much. Grab this book today. It has a world of useful information and neat recipes too!

In the past several months, I have gotten into essential oils, herbal remedies, and oil pulling. It was only recently that I learned of the power of raw coconut oil. Wanting to learn more, I decided that I needed to check out the library. Shortly thereafter, I was given the opportunity to read The Coconut Oil Cure.I love everything about this book. I was intrigued by the history of coconut oil, and there was a ton of information in there that I wasn't even aware of. Now, I enjoy telling my friends and family what I've learned about this amazing all-natural product.From the way it's written to the overall layout, the book is an excellent read and easy to follow. It features delicious recipes and smoothies, and even has recipes for body care (like a bronzing body butter with cinnamon) and hair care (such as a shampoo).If you're looking to familiarize yourself with coconut oil, find out how to use it, and try some delicious recipes, then this is the book for you. It comes highly recommended.* Product provided for review without cost.

I’ve been curious about uses for Coconut Oil for a while. I never expected it to be so versatile or useful! The author starts with an explanation of how this oil has been used by different civilizations over the years and how not that long ago it got an undeserved reputation as a “bad fat”. The book goes on to explain about how coconut oil compares to other fats, how it’s made, and finally how to use it. The section on Cures & Creams was incredibly detailed with some wonderful recipes for health and beauty. We are looking forward to making/using the “Bugs-Be-Gone Balm” next summer. The remainder of the book contains some mouthwatering food recipes that include notations for Vegan, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, and Paleo – which is always appreciated – where appropriate. I love that I can bookmark pages for easy reference in this Kindle download. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Here is one of the times that I would urge you to buy the hard copy and not the kindle version. This book just has a lovely feel to it, both the cover, the heft of it, and the images. As far as the book itself goes, I think it is helpful for someone who thinks coconut oil is awesome and is looking to add more coconut oil into their life. It isn't awesome at telling you how to work it into a balanced diet. It doesn't really seem like a "cure" for anything as the title suggests. So while I found that part of the book's approach a little confusing. It is great for (1) teaching you what types of coconut oil to buy and (2) giving some really nice recipes for things with coconut. I haven't tried any of the food yet, but like some of the personal care stuff and plan to try most things in here.I received this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Everyone who cares about their health should read this book. Excellent source of information covering weight loss, health and beauty benefits and much more. Wish I knew all this 20 years ago. Strongly recommended.

This is a little treasure of a book for anyone who wants to employ Coconut Oil in their cooking. The benefits are huge. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a beautifully presented cookbook with great pictures. It makes you feel healthy just reading it! I have used a number of the recipes and I have also given this book as a gift.

Arrived quickly and safely, thank you. Interesting book with lots of ideas to improve lifestyle, by incorporating coconut oil....some ideas not published elsewhere....nicely written and presented.

Bought this as a gift for my sister who is delighted with it and now a devotee of coconut oil.
