101 Uses for Coconut Oil
I’ve said before that I am with coconut oil
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/)
like the dad in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is with windex... I use it for
everything. Right now, I have a five gallon bucket of it sitting next to my
desk because we use so much and I don’t have anywhere else to keep it...
If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of coconut
oil, the Virgin Coconut Oil Book (http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/)
is a great resource and you’ll receive a free copy if you
order anything from this company
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/)
and it is your first time ordering (no need to order the book (http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/),
it will add to cart automatically if you use this link and it is your first
order).
Today, I’m sharing my top 101 (yes 101!!) uses for
coconut oil:

What Kind of Coconut Oil?
For external uses, expeller pressed or other types of
refined coconut oil will work, but for internal use, an unrefined virgin
coconut oil is best. This book provides more information
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/)
about the benefits of coconut oil and the difference in the types of coconut
oil.
I also love that this company
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/)
supports small family farms in the Philippines. We order in five-gallon pails,
which is more expensive up-front but which saves a lot of money in the long
term.
My husband and I both take about 4 tablespoons a day and
the kids get a couple tablespoons in food, smoothies, or hot herbal tea.

I am so grateful to Rick for providing me with Hemp oil here in the United State of America. I was diagnose with breast cancer 3 years ago, and ever since i have done a lot of Chemo and Radiation that have not helped me, but only damaged my immune system and render it weak and helpless. I came across the Phoenix Tears and i have read about the Rick Simpson Hemp oil a lot and saw that he could provide me with it here in the State, i contacted him on:ricksimpsoncancercure102@gmail.com for the procurement of this medication, to my surprise the medication was procured and delivered within 48 hours and i have been on treatment for the past 3 months.I Am now here to testify that am no more a cancer patient, I have experience a total transformation in my health sector with Rick Simpson Hemp oil service. for all cancer patient that live in the America and Canada region, get your Hemp oil from: ricksimpsoncancercure102@gmail.com
