That's one of my popular choice for breakfast. :) You can serve it either cold or warm.

Thanks Uny. I was thinking no fats on IP but thought maybe the coconut oil would be OK. But the more I think about it there is a lot of fat in it. I'll hold off on the coconut till after IP. Thanks for such a detailed response :)

btw.... I just had to try that Kava. Just did the whole process. I'm just sipping it very slowly but OMG....actually numbs the tongue and throat!!!

Uny, I'm so glad that you add that to IP (along with the h2o2 bath and other things). IMHO, fat is the big missing link in IP, esp for the *underweights* going on a long-term fast.

The oil rub is actually important when the digestive system is weak. Rotation and variety is also important.

I'm truly "OILY". Here’re my oil rituals….

Castor Oil
I did the Castor Oil VEST religiously for 3+weeks. I just soaked a tight vest with oil. Make 3 holes in a transparent (white/black ones stinks when heat is applied) garbage bag and go to town with it. It literally melted my MP without IF#1. I purged out tons of dried up dates, chains of balls, rubber tires, you name it. Castor oil pack is probably the safest decongestant around. I haven’t been that faithful once I got back on IF#1.

I keep a bottle at the bed side table. When I get a cramp at nite, I poured some on the area, it usually goes away. In severe cases, the cramped up area doesn’t want to be touched, then I’d spray some Magnesium oil (see below).

Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil
Needless to say. The single most important oil. I’m not going to repeat its benefits and usage.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
I rub this after every shower and whenever needed. I basically use it like a body lotion. Unlike the other oil, I found that coconut oil is easily absorbed by the skin and it smells great. I tried rubbing the other oil, it just feels so heavy and messes up your clothes and bed sheets.

I also eat this with honey or by itself while fasting. It’s also a great oil puller. I found myself not needing it as much these days. So, I take more of the sesame oil instead.

Jojoba Oil
I use this as a sunscreen. So, I rub this before I sunbath or when I go barefoot.

Wheat Germ Oil
I take it with ACV before going to sleep. I found it vey similar to the jojoba oil.

Sesame Oil
I oil pull with the expeller-pressed version and eat the cold-pressed version. Or, take it before bed. It’s on a rotation plan along with the wheat germ oil and coconut oil.

Flax Oil
I use this in my salad. Make sure you buy from the fridge section and get the smallest bottle. Check the bottle date as well. I can usually get the one bottled within the month, sometimes even less than 2wks.

Magnesium Oil
I spray it before my bath and use it in my bath as well. Also, works well for cramps. I keep one spray bottle on my bedside table.

Deep Tissue Massage Oil
Spot treatment on those nasty, achy, broken body parts. Also, great for headaches, nauseousness, etc.

Just wanted to share my oil ritual, hop this helps, tie…

I'm with Uny here. I had the same questions, especially with coconut oil, which might as well be candy for me. I LOVE the stuff. I see Schulze only mentioning olive oil for flushing. Christopher rotating castor, wheat germ, and olive for massages and adding wheat germ oil for Vitamin E, and Gerson only using flax oil.

I think as long as a person on the IP is juice fasting, s/he needs to be strict, strict, strict. That first 30 (to 90???) days needs to be hit as hard and heavy as possible. But at some point, the IPer is going to add raw food to their food program. What I have been adding for both healthy fats and protein are a few raw nuts and seeds. But I closely limit these, because it is easy to go hog wild.

Once we are "all better," there are all kinds of wonderful, healthy additions we can make to our lives. But while we are on the Incurables Program, we are in "training mode," and we have to maintain self-discipline. I don't know why these great healers didn't add these other oils, but they didn't. They DID get people well, though, so we need to stick to the plan.

Speaking of training, I need to get back at it...
