Food Magic. Molly Magic.

I think my friend Molly, is a magician.  She makes magic with her words.  She makes magic at her biodynamic farm, Apricot Lane Farms.  And she certainly makes magic with her food.

Molly shared with us a few weeks ago about the magic of Coconut Oil on healing Alzheimer's disease.  The post on her blog says it best but here's a teaser, "Like the effects of a bad high-school rumor, coconut oil came out of the 80′s with a horrendous reputation.  Demonized for its saturated fat content, you’d have thought that every heart attack began with tub of coconut oil and a spoon...."

Read more and see this amazing video on this magical food on Organic Spark.

I was awestruck when I first watched this video on Molly's blog.  Seeing Alzheimer's disease take its toll on families, I wanted to know more.  I started learning everything I could about coconut oil.  Coconut oil can be used as a body and hair moisturizer, all kinds of salve, for healing digestive issues, for weight management and much, much more.  Coconut oil can improve nutrient absorption, is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-viral.  I've started taking a few tablespoons myself per day to help with nutrient absorption and tummy troubles.  I have indeed started feeling better.  Did you know that coconut oil has also been used as an effective treatment for tooth decay?

Have you tried using coconut oil to stay healthy or heal yourself?  Please share below.
