I went vegan a little over two months ago. I've recently developed an enlarged thyroid (only gets big when I eat something without fat or protein) have gained weight and my bloodwork is coming back WAY too healthy. I did a little inventory of my diet and realized that I was almost completely fat free and I used to eat a TON of fat and be skinny. So I tried an experiment. I ate two bean burritos from taco bell at 6:00 last night. Without cheese they are vegan (my buddhist friends assured me)and they are really high in fat and protein. What do you know. This morning my thyroid was almost completely normal and my pants fit a little baggie. So I had lentil soup for breakfast (ate the whole can) and had a soy decaf latte. My thyroid has stayed low but is aggrivated some. I'm convinced my thyroid issue is diet related. I also have horrible icky dry, flakey scalp and candida history.
With all of that being said....should I try coconut oil and if so, how do start?
Thanks so much!!!!!

This is a reply to # 829,647Virgin Coconut Oil is a marvelous thing - after reading almost every post, I incorporated it into my own diet - I believe that my thyroid is a bit sluggish - I have not lost weight to speak of, but I do feel better - you also may wish to check out the Iodine discussion...I am following that, too, and Iodine is very important to the thyroid - apparantly, if you read the history, we do not get enough in day to day diet...
One thing I can say, it can't hurt you to try the coconut oil - just don't get the refined stuff - the worst that could happen is...nothing - the refined stuff I use in my hair and on my skin - I am a hairdresser and my clients have started telling me how marvelous my hair looks - and my skin - I am coconut from the inside out!!!
and it is so much better than putting petrolatum products on the skin! I am hooked.
Hope it helpsAdvertisement

This is a reply to # 830,130Hi Want,
how much do you use on your hair? Do you use it like you would a conditioner or how? For my body, I use olive oil. I love the results.
Also, I have gone to Iodine debate and have not seen how much to actually ingest, other than the high numbers. What are you consuming and with what medium (i.e. kelp, dulse, Lugol's)?
Have an awesome evening!
Love, Light and Peace,
Beth

This is a reply to # 830,158I just use a tiny amount, maybe dime-sized, as a "hair dressing" on the mid-length and ends - I have long, highlighted hair, and I use that tiny bit everyday - I only wash my hair once or twice a week - if you are European that won't bother you, but in USA the trend is to wash it every day which I do not recommend, the hair doesn't need it - but usually the day before I am due to wash it I will put more in it and braid or ponytail it and let it just soak in - it looks greasy for an hour or so - but note, too that I have fairly thick, medium textured hair. I don't know how it would do for fine hair. My hair is much softer and has a nice sheen to it even after I wash it. It is kind of funny when I am educating my clients to not wash their hair daily - they gross out, then they stop washing so much, then in 6 months they are thanking me!! Now I tell them about my coconut oil - I just got a call from one of my clients yesterday saying how much she loves using the oil on her skin
I am using a product called Sea-adine, it says 4 drops/day, but I use about 64 drops of that to equal about 4 mgs to start - I want Lugols but have to purchase cheap as possible, and am still searching for a bargain. I figure I will see what happens
I was thinking that if I keep supplementing, I will run out of money for food : )
Peace

Hi Want,
I was wondering what you use for your shampoo? Or how do you clean your hair? I am going to do a protocol I seen in the Hair forum. Although I am curious that your hair looks so great, what do you wash it with, when you wash it?
OH and as far as the Sea-adine, is 4 mgs. recommended to start? How long have you been doing it? What results are you seeing?
Thanks for your input! Have an inspiring day!
Love, Light and Peace,

This is a reply to # 830,466My shampoo is called Pravana - it is a no sulfate shampoo,and is mild. It is a newer color and shampoo line, so I would not know where to tell you to get it, as I purchase from my distibutor, but I am sure that there are other shampoos out there with no sulfates and I know that there are good ones like Jason Organics, available at the health food store. I just like to attempt to keep toxins to a minimum these days. I also use Castile soap, a natural soap with coconut oil in it, and I do not use deodorant, just Burts Bees deodorant spray, which does not stop you from sweating, it masks odor with sage oil - that is taking some getting used to, actually sweating - not very lady-like but healthy!! teehee
3 mg was suggested to me for starters on the forum, I am up to 4 in 2 weeks time, it just seemed a good place to start. Trapper has good posts to read on that forum. I also paint my feet with it at night, by morning it is gone. Check out posts on the Iodine test - the results for me so far are increased energy,(as a matter of fact, I am taking a break from cleaning out all my old papers-tax crap and stuff-) and my hands and feet are a little warmer and less stiff.
I also take in about 2 big teaspoons of coconut oil per day.
Hope this helps.- Re: coconut oil and diet b2reflect

This is a reply to # 830,670Thanks Want,
I have gone to that debate forum and after I posted the previous post did find an outside amount to consume. I have read several things there but was not always sure of an amount.
As for my hair, I am using a shampoo without sulfate but am even going to go more 'natural' and use an olive oil soap, after doing an olive oil treatment. I am working on more natural in my live. I use a castile soap but unfortunately am not sure how 'natural' it is. I purchased it from a store going out of business and it just had a name on the emblem keeping wrap closed. No ingredients, nothing else. I did look (google) for the company name but could not find it. (I know it was not the name of the business, so don't know about it.)
I have been oil pulling, as well as consuming oil, most days. Coconut, I need to find a way to "melt" it, it makes it easier for me to consume.
As I mentioned I use olive oil on my body, and I also use apricot oil with frankincense ess. oil on my face. I love the way my face feels, even my body. It is great to have found CZ!
Thanks again for your help! Enjoy your cleaning...LOL I am supposed to be doing that but am slowly getting motivated!

This is a reply to # 830,868i scoop a tablespoon of VCO and put it in a short glass, place the glass on top of the toaster and turn the toaster on 'light' (no toast in it) - after a few minutes the VCO is melted in the glass and able to drink right down (warm too hot)- i always chase with a shot of orange juice

This is a reply to # 829,647Soy is terrible for your thyroid. Too bad, because soy milk is delicious.
Sorry that I don't have a direct link for this info, but a search should find the information.
