I've noticed that eating it is good, but doing this protocol regularly helps to keep my energy levels up without having to ingest it regularly and my feet and hands are no longer cold. By usiing it on the skin or in the nose and ears, it is still being absorbed transdermally but going immediately into your blood stream without having to be processed by the liver. If your liver is congested, ingesting it won't bring the same benefits as transdermal absorption does.
Also, adding good bacteria in the form of fermented foods such as Kombucha, raw organic kefir, raw organic honey, etc. will help to keep the inflammation at bay!

I have been using coconut oil for a week now and I feel less cold. I have more energy and am full all the time, so less cravings. I purchased Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Vitamin Shoppe. I love the taste and have replaced vegetable oil in cooking with CO. Also I have 1 tsp in the morning and sometimes 1 in the evening. It is a wonderful find to protect myself against cold. Just take care of eliminating your other fat/carbs in your diet, else it is likely to make you gain weight.Replied by Carol from Sonora, Ca on 05/17/2017
How long did you have low temp before trying this. And how long did it take to work? ThanksReplied by Joanne from FL on 03/16/2021
I read somewhere that one of the advantages of coconut oil is that it does not get processed through the liver. That is why it is so beneficial.Replied by Brady's Lady from Eureka, NV on 09/30/2025
My research always showed that coconut oil cleanses the liver as well as benefitting the thyroid.
