Coconut Oil And Diabetes Management
The greatest advantage of using pure, virgin coconut oil for diabetes over drugs is that coconut oil is a food that nourishes cells that are weakening and malnourished. Dr. Bruce Fife states, “every cell in our bodies needs a continual supply of either glucose or fatty acids to fuel metabolic functions and keep them alive. If the cells can’t get enough glucose they weaken and die.” (2)

The incredible benefit of using coconut oil for diabetes is that it doesn’t require insulin to enter and feed cells. However, insulin is required for glucose or long-chain fatty acids to enter cells.

Some of the healthiest people around the world are those that live in cultures that consume coconut oil on a daily basis. People in cultures that eat coconut oil regularly have never experienced diabetes and don’t even know what it is! (This is true for other Western diseases too)

However, some islanders are abandoning their traditional coconut oil diets in favor of a more Western one that includes processed sugar, flour and refined oils and they’re suffering for it.

By abandoning their traditional coconut oil diet, they are experiencing an increase in diabetes (and other illnesses) that are plaguing our culture.




Other Coconut Oil And Diabetes Benefits Are...
It contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA's) that are smaller and more easily absorbed which relieves stress on pancreas.
Improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose.
Slows absorption of food taken during a meal preventing hunger afterwards.
It provides an energy boost to the body without causing an increase in blood sugar levels.
It balances the activity of the thyroid gland which in turn regulates metabolism.
Helps relieve symptoms and reduce health risk associated with diabetes.

More Coconut Oil and Diabetes Tips...
Even though Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune in nature and isn't related to diet and lifestyle, there is evidence now to suggest that coconut oil helps control sweet cravings and can elevate energy levels and lift low moods.

Type 2 diabetes (often referred to as adult-onset diabetes) can be reversed by adjusting your diet to include more protein and saturated fats and reducing or eliminating refined sugars, refined carbohydrates and alcohol.

Metabolism speeds up when you ingest coconut oil because it contains medium-chain fatty acids that provide a valuable source of energy. An increase in metabolism benefits those wanting to lose weight.

The consumption of coconut oil helps to reduce carbohydrate cravings that lead to insulin resistance.

What Is The Proper Dosage?

Coconut Oil Alone:

Coconut oil for arthritis as a natural remedy requires different dosages depending on whether you want to prevent or treat the condition.

Naturally, the dosage will be higher if you want to treat as opposed to prevent.

So, when you begin treatment for arthritis pain, a common guideline is:

“for every 50 pounds of body weight, take 1 teaspoon of oil.”
We advise staying at this daily amount until your body gets used to the oil. Then, you can increase your daily intake by another teaspoon.

Eventually, you want to work up to 1 tablespoon per day. (Maybe more depending on severity of symptoms).

For prevention, a good place to begin is 1 teaspoon per day.

Externally, we have seen good results if you massage the oil onto the affected joint(s) 2-3 times per day.



Coconut Oil With Molasses, Apple Cider Vinegar or Turmeric:

The ratio is 1:1 coconut oil to molasses or apple cider vinegar. For example, if you take 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, then take 1 tablespoon of molasses or apple cider vinegar at the same time.

If you take turmeric with coconut oil it depends on whether you take capsules or powder.

Capsules= 8 per day, 2x/day (that is 4 capsules @ 400mg, 2x/day).

Powder= 1 teaspoon per day.

*Both are taken right along with coconut oil.
