I discovered coconut oil about a year and half ago and I think it is a wonderful, beautiful food. I have not used it during the mc so I don't know how it would be affected, oil is digested differently than lemonade. You can definitely use it on your skin during the mc and still reap many of the benefits via absorbtion. then, post-cleanse chow down it is sooooo yummy, great for cooking, great raw and great for just about everything, as you have probably read. enjoy!
