Oil for rest and recovery

I have been using coconut oil after my workouts and my days off, has lots of healing properties just thought I would share.

Yes, I’ve heard that it does have a lot of healing properties. Would you care to enlighten us as to what those properties are?

I don’t remember sir kingpole I just know it’s good, even good for rashes and psoriasis. There’s a good book call the miracle of coconut oil says it all

Excellent for everything from eating to jelqing with. I think the book is “The Coconut Oil Miracle”; my mother is an aromatherapist and a huge coconut oil fan!

Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal .

Coconut oil is excellent as a skin moisturiser. A study shows that extra virgin coconut oil is as effective and safe as mineral oil when used as a moisturiser, with absence of adverse reactions.

Although not suitable for use with condoms, coconut oil is an excellent, inexpensive lubricant for sexual intercourse. Before coconut oil is used as a sexual lubricant, however, it is recommended to do an allergy test.

Coconut oil can also help in healing Keratosis pilaris by moisturising the affected area. The coconut oil should be applied in the shower, and may cause the KP bumps to disappear.

Here is a good link if you want a very detailed look at coconut oil and its benefits.

I reread the forum guidelines and did not find anything specific about posting links in the newbie forum. If I should not do it please accept my apologizes and delete this post.

No problem with that link in the Newbie Forum Marius. Good link.

Thanks!

Elevations in cancer and sexually transmitted viruses came about with the use of coconut oil in decline. Baby formulas had coconut oil now they do not. Cookies cakes,pies and other so called sinful foods were made with coconut shortening up until the 50’s. Americans have been getting progressively fatter since the 50’s. The magic ingredient in coconut oil seems to be lauric acid,a acid that has anti-viral benefits. Essential Fatty Acids were taken out of all oils as a result diabetes,heart disease and cancer have increased significantly in the USA over the past 50 years or more.

Is this direct or causal?

And by the way, how would sexually transmitted viruses be affected? Would herpes, for instance, be “fought off” by the immune system if it were boosted by lauric acid?

Thanks for the tip, I will use it too after workout and on off days

This is really an ironic thing about the coconut oil. When I started doing this just a few weeks ago that is what I had chosen just out of the clear blue sky. But after a couple weeks of it I went to Lubriderm lotion. Seems as tho the coconut smell after a while was kinda making me sick.

According to the research on the link I read it appears to be direct in killing herpes and HIV. The link does not go into detail. Did the acid kill the virus in a petri dish or did it kill the virus’s within the bodies of humans?

Green tea and black tea kill cancer cells in a petri dish for example, but getting them to tumor sites is another issue.

Is that link hawking coconut oil? A lot of the sites that state the benefits of coconut oil are selling the shit. I remember hearing a mention about an upcoming study in the Philippines looking at AIDS and coconut oil.

Just did a Google search using coconut oil HIV.

Info about it’s antiviral properties abounds. A bunch of studies have been done and are being done.

It occurs to me that you could use coconut oil as a sex lubricant with a condom, provided a polyeurethane condom (like Avanit) was used.
