Has anyone heard of coconut oil good for thyroid

[Linda1068]

Wondering if anyone has tried the coconut oil for their thyroid. Not even sure what it's supposed to do. Anyone has info on it, please share. Thanks.

I thought my problems were stress related for 2 years, before going to the dr. Makes it much worse to heal when you do it that way.

Now whenever I talk to someone and they start mentioning anything that could remotely sound like thyroid symptoms, I say "get your thyroid checked" My new mission in life is to deliver as many people as possible from hypo torture.

I found a brand of coconut oil that they removed the coconut taste....i don't like coconut. There are a lot of cure claims out there......but it is a very healthy oil to injest. It is an all natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, etc. I think I have tried every natural thing I know to "heal" my thyroid. I tried the natural way for a year before i finally agreed to meds. Not a smart thing to do....I got much worse!
Anyway, it is a very healthy oil...but i wouldn't call it a cure all.

I have tried several brands and to me the best was by nutiva. It is the best tasting, to me.

I buy it at a health food store.

well no wonder i didnt like it i kept it solid in the fridge and the only spoonful i tried tasted like lard.

Thanks for the info. I guess the health food store or a GNC would be a good place to find it.
I am wondering if the Endo's approve of their patients trying natural methods. You know how doctors love to prescibe meds.

it stays melted at 70 degrees. I drink about 3 tsp a day, when I remember to take it.

It is really not bad tasting if you like coconuts....

i remember buying it a couple of years ago as i heard it was good but didnt really know how to use it so i ended up binning it

Coconut oil is a stimulant for the thyroid not a cure.  I do know it is the best possible oil to take to shrink the fat cells and burn more energy.

I have heard of it being good for the thyroid. Even bought some and still use it from time to time. It did help me loose some weight, which was a good thing.

All these natural remedies are probably best used in the begininng stages of the disease. And mine was very advanced so, I can't really give a good answer on that one.

There is some good info out there on it though. I will see if I have some of the links somewhere and send them to you.....
