According to the latest statistics, the medical experts claim that colon cancer is one of the most
common cancer types, in both men and women! This is really shocking, because this terrible
disease takes millions of lives around the world! But, you will be shocked when you find out
that a group of researchers have found LAURIC ACID ingredient in pure coconut oil can kill 93%
of colon cancer cells. This is extremely important for you to remember – this super healthy oil is
loaded with lauric acid – it’s almost half of the content of coconut oil. And, the most interesting
thing is that the lauric acid kills the cancer cells by releasing intense antioxidants. So, with this
process, the lauric acid reduces the levels of glutathione in cancer cells very efficiently.
This super healthy oil is loaded with healthy nutrients needed by the blood to maintain a
normal pH, and it can provide many health benefits, but the big corporations tend to downplay
its efficacy. The medical experts say that this powerful ingredient is very useful and beneficial in
preventing and fighting many different health problems, such as: diabetes, osteoporosis, viral
ailments (mononucleosis, hepatitis C, herpes and so forth.), biliary tract infections, Chron’s
sickness, and cancer.
Here’s what you need to know –
Back in the 1960’s, food manufacturers wanted consumers to buy their margarines and
hydrogenated oils. And, in order to do that, they had to ‘discredit’ the natural products people
had always used in their homes to prepare their food. The coconut oil has been “accused” of
causing health issues while it was its replacements that were the real culprits.
Remember, it was just the same that natural cassava products like garri got indicted as causing
diabetes and artificial substitutes like Wheat flour was promoted as a better alternative.
Decades later, scientists are finding out that wheat is even worse, as in addition to increasing
spades of diabetes in the consumers, myriad of other metabolic problems also surfaced.

From a health perspective, cold pressed coconut oil is the best. Hot pressed coconut oil had
undergone oxidization, which can cause some health complications. Moreover, a lot of healthy
compounds are lost from the oils while hot pressing, whereas in cold pressing, all beneficial
compounds are retained.

MAINTAINING BALANCE WITHIN THE BODY
So we all agree that we want to be at ease,all the time,or at least most of the time? Alright
then,let’s see how to achieve that.I postulated that maintaining harmony within our body is the
surest way to being at ease,and enjoying good health. How are we supposed to maintain the
necessary harmony?
I’m sure that we have all heard about homeostasis? A bit mouthful, right? Okay,let’s chew on
it,to break it down ..The body itself has a way of maintaining balance in its affairs.. It balances
acid/alkaline content, It balances water levels, It balances hormones, It balances blood
components .. All these balancing works is what is called homeostasis.
Okay,now that we know that our body is made to balance up it’s affairs,what then do we still
need to do in that respect? Nothing! We only need to get out of our body’s way of doing it’s job
of maintaining balance or harmony. How do we get in the body’s way?All that the body needs is
fresh air,good food,good water, regular exercise,good sleep,and good emotions.But we often
deny the body just these necessities. Not just that,we always feed the body with junks, which
the body doesn’t recognize as food. When the body signals to us that it needs water,what do
we give it?Teas, sodas, coffee,beer and other alcoholic drinks. The thirst may be quenched by
all those stuffs,but the body is still starved of water.Yes,the body is still in need of water! The
body, being a unique system comprised of many systems,has a mandate to maintain balance..
So it is equipped with various means to take water from some organs (that doesn’t need much
water)to give to organs that needs much water to perform optimally. You see how we are
giving our body so much stress,by not drinking enough water?
Wait.. Someone is whispering that it isn’t such things like not drinking enough water that causes
havoc, that it is the presence of germs in our body. Oh,is that true? Okay,let’s give germs some
thought.. Germs are microscopic organisms that can cause diseases in humans, animals and
plants. They can be bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protozoa.They do cause illnesses or disease such
as the common cold, flu, or more severe conditions like pneumonia or tuberculosis.
Yes all germs are very bad, right? Wrong! Some germs are actually needed in the body for the
body to maintain harmony between the organs. Such germs are called beneficial germs.Yes,you

read me correctly,they are good and body-friendly germs. The body recognizes this fact,and
keeps some organs separate as a reservoir of good germs..The appendix is one of such. So you
see,you can’t blame every disease on germs alone.
We are supposed to help the body to do it’s normal work by ensuring that the beneficial germs
are always in supply while we keep away from all the bad germs. How do we keep away from
bad germs? Germs can spread through direct contact with an infected person, airborne
droplets, contaminated surfaces, or through vectors like insects. Good hygiene practices, such
as hand washing and proper sanitation, are effective in reducing the transmission of germs.
What about the good germs,how do we get them? Oh,we must eat them. Our gut is a factory
for producing these good germs.. They are produced within our guts when we digest the foods
rich in fibers (both soluble and insoluble fibers) that we consume.
These foods are called probiotics and prebiotics. Let’s take it all in, slowly.. Refined foods are
not good for our body because the natural fibres in them had been removed. But why did they
remove them? So that the food will look more appealing, taste better and stay longer on the
shelves. Who does all those things help? Perhaps only the food processing companies.
Definitely not our bodies. I need to go take some unsweetened yoghurt.. That is one way of
getting probiotics that will increase the population of the good germs inside my intestines.
