It’s rather unusual that as a society, it’s far less controversial to have breasts displayed on magazine covers and inside magazines to sell products, but that their purpose for feeding our young has somehow become obscene.

Breast milk is a powerful substance with many benefits, and store bought formula just can’t compete. Actually, without these key nutrients, our young are much more likely to develop health problems.

Recently, the World Health Organization said that literally millions of lives around the world would be spared if the children had been breast feed. It’s a powerful statement that speaks to the power and importance of breastfeeding.

Aside from having an optimal protein and nutrient balance for young developing bodies, breast milk contains disease fighting medium-chain fatty acids that are natural antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal substances. These medium chain fatty acids are also found in coconut oil, and they can destroy many pathogens before they become problems.

Breast milk is also a key source of healthy bacteria for our colons. These healthy bacteria are one of our body’s primary disease fighting mechanisms, and with ample amounts of these healthy bacteria, many germs and bacteria simply can’t gain a foothold in our bodies. And if those germs and bacteria can’t get a foothold, they won’t be the cause of any disease.

When you understand all of the properties of breast milk, it’s easy to see why it’s the ideal food for babies. Because, in addition to offering optimal nutrition, it actually works on a number of levels to protect infants from diseases in their childhood and beyond.

Nature has infinite wisdom that created this powerful substance specifically for babies, yet for some odd reason, many cultures have decided it’s in some way perverse. This cultural mindset is an unfortunate consequence of moving away from nature in many ways, and one can only hope that our children don’t suffer the consequences from this lack of understanding and knowledge.

Coconut oil also has unique properties that speed the metabolism and make it easier for those with weight to lose, lose weight. Coconut oil is simple to add to most any meal, and doing so is also detoxifying and can help you cleanse your body. In fact, coconut oil can replace most oils used in cooking, and it a wonderful butter substitute.

Coconut oil once had a bad reputation as an unhealthy saturated fat, but research regularly proves that wrong. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut were confused with the truly bad long chain fatty acids in animal products, and that is where the confusion arose. Fortunately, as more and more natural health experts promote the benefits of coconut oil, the correct information is reaching the public.

Besides being a delicious addition to many meals, coconut oil is an effective skin cleanser and skin moisturizer. Coconut oil has highly moisturizing properties that repair the skin and even prevent premature aging and wrinkling, without what can be dangerous man-made chemicals. And although it’s light and easily absorbed, coconut oil also forms a protective barrier on the skin which serves to keep harmful bacteria out of your body.  

Knowing this, don’t you think coconut oil is good addition to your family’s daily diet? You’d be surprised at what a couple of tablespoons a day can do. You might even try using it as your daily moisturizer for added protection in our disease ridden world.

Because medium chain fatty acids are similar to the skins of many bacteria and viruses, these harmful pathogens mistake the fatty acids for one of their own – and let them inside, through the protective barrier.

Once inside however, the pathogens find that the molecules of these medium chain fatty acids are smaller than the molecules of their own skin. This actually begins to break down and disintegrate the already “leaky” outer casing or “skin” of the pathogen. Without their outer casing, the pathogen’s insides spill out and this immediately kills the pathogen. All without harming a single human cell.

Precisely because of coconut oil’s powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, the oil is often used in different types of body cleansing.

Body cleansing is a way to remove common bacteria, viruses, and even chemical contamination from the body. Body cleansing often also involves doing a colon cleansing and a liver cleanse. Many experts say that it’s this accumulation of toxins inside the body that is the underlying cause of common health problems. Actually, it’s common to remove health problems by deeply cleansing the body.

Coconut oil is a powerful accompaniment to deep body cleansing because by colon and liver cleansing, you’re quickly removing enormous amounts of waste from the body. In fact, after you kill viruses and bacteria in your body with coconut oil, colon and liver cleansing are very effective ways to quickly show those now broken up pathogen innards to the outside of your body.
