Appetite Suppressant

I have been trying to consume a lot of coconut milk (canned) to help with my chronic UTI issue after reading about this remedy here at Earth Clinic. I have been blending some in my morning coffee in the blender (it makes it like a latte! ) and putting it in a smoothie with protein powder and almond milk in the afternoons. I have been doing this for about 5 days.

Yesterday I noticed that I haven't had the afternoon munchies all week! Most afternoons I get serious cravings for sweet or salty things. I will have popcorn or nuts or a muffin or something.

I think it is from the coconut milk. Even if I only have coconut milk in the morning, and a normal lunch (salad and chicken or something similarly light) I will be making dinner and realize I never had a snack or even thought to have one.

Because of my Alpha Gal allergy I consume very little animal fat. (Only the bit that would be in lean chicken or fish.) So maybe my body was needing saturated fat. Or maybe it is that my body just needed more fat in general since the only oil I tend to use it olive oil. Fat makes you feel satisfied and maybe the satiation lasts longer than just for the hours following its consumption.

Then I thought that maybe I was getting more calories and was at risk of gaining weight. My weight is in the healthy range, but since menopause I have had to work very hard to keep it there.

I stepped on the scale this morning and was surprised to find I am down a few pounds. (I realize weight can fluctuate a lot, but this is a number I haven't seen in a very long time.)

It is early to tell what the long term effect of coconut milk to help with chronic UTI's or to reducing cravings, but I am encouraged.

I have used coconut oil medicinally for years but never considered coconut milk use much beyond using it for curries. :)

Crohn's Disease

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about 11 yrs ago. The medication was very expensive. Overseas they were having CF patients drink it for dietary needs and cutting down on inflammation in the bowel. Since reading that I keep coconut milk in my cabinet and drink 1 can a week. Since starting that I have only had 2 major flare ups, brought on by stress, then I just drank extra. It works great, I keep a frozen mug to pour it in.

I read on net sometime back about benefits of coconut milk as skin care. I read that you can get smooth, soft, glowing skin by applying raw coconut milk on skin. I tried and I must say this is the best beauty tips I have got ever. Just apply the coconut milk on your face and leave it for about 15mins and wash your face after that. You skin will be glowing and feel smooth. I have been using very expensive creams before but none works as well as the coconut milk. You can also applt this coconut milk all over your body to get really attractive complexion... :)

Bladder Infection

I had a severe urine infection.I was going to he bathroom every 10 mins But found the cures within hours of drinking coconut milk. It is available from fresh coconuts but also in cans and cartons . A friend of mine's infection spread to the kidneys and had to be referred to hospital as the antibiotics were not helping and she was in severe pain. I recommended her this treatment within 3 days she was cured. She drank a glass of the coconut milk 5/6 times a day. Her tests showed the infection was completely gone and the kidneys were clear and healthy!
