You didn't indicate how some of these home remedies (e.g. Palm oil) should be used... Whether oral or topical. Would have been more helpful if you did.

Am only interested in the weight loss. Does it really work nd how fast?

It doesn't work magic but with consistency after a while you will see the result(for best result take it in the morning and wait for at least 30mins b4 eating or drinking anything and also take with Lipton for faster result)

By popular request, please see below the recommended recipe's

To make one cup (250ml) of warm lemon water with honey

- juice of half lemon (squeezed)
- one 5ml teaspoon of honey ( use unprocessed honey if you can)
- 250ml warm water

Mix all of the above and drink while it is still warm like tea. Drink up to four cups daily for fast effective results.

Coconut oil or palm oil

- for open wounds or sores - wash with clean water, dry with a clean cloth or cotton wool, spray wound with alcholic astringent then drizzle one to two 5ml teaspoon of coconut or palm oil over it

- if using on food as a dressing, drizzle a maximum of 2 teaspoons over food. Recommended daily intake is two 5ml teaspoons a day. Always measure the quantity of oil you use for cooking...

- If frying an egg you need one teaspoon but if cooking a pot of soup for 6 servings then you need about 3 tablespoons of oil. So amend the quantity accordingly when cooking but do not use much if you are ingesting it because of their high fatty content, you only need a little consumed daily to get the full benefits.

- for use on skin or hair, put a small quantity (1 tablespoon) on palm and rub over your skin or hair or mix into your body lotion or hair cream by mixing use 1 part coconut or palm oil to 5 parts lotion (e.g. Use 50ml oil to 250ml lotion)

Vinegar

If using on food drizzle one to two 5ml teaspoon over food, use the same dose if ingesting to calm stomach upset or add to tea e.g. Green tea and drink

If using vinegar as a cleaning agent mix 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water e.g. 100ml vinegar to 300ml water for cleaning. If using for stain removal, do not mix the vinegar with water just spray the vinegar straight on the stain, leave it for 10 minutes then wash or rinse off with clean warm water.

Granulated Sugar

Clean the wound and spray with alcoholic astringent - I normally use perfume before covering the wound entirely with sugar, the deeper the wound the more sugar you will need but usually one or two tablespoons should be sufficient. Repeat regularly when dressing your wound until it is completely dry and healed.

To make sugar scrub

200g sugar
100ml honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Mix all the ingredients together and apply on wet body with flannel then scrub vigorously and rinse off with warm bathing water.

CoCoLav:

Please I beg you in the name of God, don't use paw paw leaves. My cousin used it and it destroyed his kidneys. He died barely a month later all because of malaria he could have treated with over the counter drugs.

Sorry to hear about your cousin, but everything can be poison to your body even water...the secret is in the dosage.

We know water is good for the body but if you go and ingest 5 litres of water within two hours you can disturb the blood PH and kill yourself in the process.

So everything should be based on recommended daily amount for example even if the paw paw leaves would have cured the ailment, over use will turn it from remedy to poison unless there were other underlying health conditions which could have complicated matters for your cousin.

"The treatment is thought to work because applying sugar to a wound helps to draw water away from it and prevent bacteria from multiplying, thereby starving the bacteria of what it needs to grow so that they die, drying out the wound and helping it to heal faster."

Would not recommend this because it can easily lead to an overwhelming wound infection.
If the sugar concentration is not very high, the bacteria that has colonized the wound use the sugar for food and make millions of copies of itself resulting in infection.

Better off using honey

You could be right but I still wouldn't advise anyone to try it.
