I slather it on before I go out to cut the grass, and it seems to work well. For sunburns, I mix coconut oil with essential oil of lavender and a little bit of peppermint. Very soothing. This summer I'm going to add some D to the mix and see what happens -- provided I burn at all.<BR/><BR/>Have you read any of Bruce Fife's books on coconut oil? It was one of his books that originally got me on this coconut oil kick all those years ago. He's a good writer, and I've given his books away to several friends who I thought needed some extra saturated fat in their lives. :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920771116773938946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-82435766171579925382009-04-05T13:59:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:59:00.000-07:00Brett,You know... we have little pots of coconut o...Brett,<BR/><BR/>You know... we have little pots of coconut oil in our bathrooms too (in little containers or babyfood jars)! I try to smear it all over my kids but they resist and run away... b/c they find the smell too much. Since my sister 'M' started sharing all the benefits of coconut oil with me and I saw how it vastly accelerated my wound healing, I started using it on my (iatrogenic) acne, smile-wrinkles, face and !!WOWOW -- they improve in just 24hrs. I'm hooked!! Many of the top tier Bloomingdale, etc cosmetic creams and body lotions contain caprylic acid as one of the first 1-3 ingredients. What is it? Just a fancy schmancy name for 10 cents coconut oil :)<BR/><BR/>I've started using it as a sunscreen too. Now with the weather so perfect and sunny, sometimes I get a heat rash after an afternoon run but if I put the coconut oil on beforehand, no redness or itchiness. (I think I'm getting some gluten still...d*mn it's the once a month Corona/BEER *urg*). If I don't do anything, the rash runs it's course for 1-2 days, but within an hour after applying coconut oil on, surprisingly the redness and sensitivity subsides in just 60min. The stuff is truly... fantastic.<BR/><BR/>-GDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-63230653175218006462009-04-05T13:45:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:45:00.000-07:00David,Everything 'M' bakes is delish... that's why...David,<BR/><BR/>Everything 'M' bakes is delish... that's why I gain 1-2 lbs after hanging out with her :) She used to bake for a local cafe commercially.

Very soon.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of injuries, my mom burned her hand pretty bad the other day, and I suggested that she try putting some vitamin D drops on it. I've never heard of anyone doing that, but I wondered if it might be beneficial, given vitamin D's cell growth regulating properties. The next day the burn was almost completely healed, and now it looks like there won't even be a scar. I don't know if this is due to the vitamin D oil or not (should've burned the other hand as a control! Haha), but it sure seemed like it did <I>something.</I>Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920771116773938946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-75169383623087124382009-04-01T18:13:00.000-07:002009-04-01T18:13:00.000-07:00Antibacterial and antifungal ... gotta luv that!Antibacterial <I>and</I> antifungal ... gotta luv that!Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-40076574935730535862009-04-01T12:11:00.000-07:002009-04-01T12:11:00.000-07:00Hi M!!*WINK OF FUN BACK AT U!!*Unfortunately somet...Hi M!!<BR/><BR/>*WINK OF FUN BACK AT U!!*<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately sometimes we have too much fun! <BR/><BR/>My experience now with coconut oil is totally cemented as well!
