Would castor oil be better maybe? Its very thick and sticky... not something id want to try washing out of my hair. I use coconut oil to make soap and never really tried it on my skin until recently. I have allergies and am always itchy... i read here on another forum about how great it was and started using it on my skin after i get a shower with some scent oil and i love it. No more itchies and it doesn't make my face break out either. I cooked potatoes with it tonight too and they were amazing.
I had no idea it crossed the blood/brain barrier. Personally, I'm not sure I'd want to kill brain parasites. I'm very iffy about the whole process now... its one thing to kill them in the gut, but once they start migrating to the lungs and other organs, it gets real. Sometimes killing the parasite means killing the host.
