Anybody knows a more natural way to get read of dandruff? I mean really get read of it, not over time, slow things.
This stuff is the only thing that keeps me from dropping the shampoo. Ideally, I would use something that I can also eat.
So far, I tried egg, egg yolk, coconut cream, but they don’t seem to work to get read of it.

Here’s some others who think so, too! http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/urine_therapy.html

Hey Luke,
Great to hear from you. I see you’re still extolling the virtues of urine!
Of course you are correct. The healing properties of urine are significant. I’ve never used it as a sun lotion but it is fundementally the same as coconut oil and milk in the sense that we are not attempting to block UV rays but rather nourish the skin in order to prevent damage from occuring. Since urine is essentially blood plasma minus the red blood cells (not that different to milk really) then it’s nutritional attributes are quite high. Add to that the fact that it contains proteins with user specificity (assuming you are using your own!) then it’s probably a good option.

Hi Lisa,
I will be able to offer you the Thai Organic Life oil in about 8 weeks time. I’ll set up a link from this blog to let you know when it’s available.
As for the co-op, more spots will probably be available soon. At the moment mostly milk is being distributed with small quantities of cream and butter. Some participants buy a large quantity of milk and process their own cream and butter products. Feel free to contact me via email for more info.

Thanks people… enjoyed the conversation on adrenal exhaustion/anxiety. I have been meaning to ask about this.
With the sunburn issue, I have experimented with different things over the years as I am a fair skinned freckle covered being. I agree with Scott but I have also used with very good results applying fresh urine. It does not work while swimming though. Urine is also good for assisting in healing after being sunburnt or even cuts and abrasions. After an operation on my ankle I applied only urine to it regularly and it healed amazingly quickly.

Hi Scott,
As a huge fan of coconut oil I had no idea that it was processed this way. I am very interested in your Thai coconut oil. Are you selling this and if so how can we purchase it. We also drink raw milk but can’t get a hold of raw cream or butter. You mentioned you were starting a co-op. How does this work and are there any spots left to join?

You’re right Michael. That’s exactly the process that Thai Organic Life use except that they add an innoculant to hasten the fermentation process so that it takes 8 hours rather than 24+. They also skim and filter rather than refrigerating. They also have the advantage of a tropical environment so they always maintain the optimal temperature for fermentation to occur.
It’s not difficult for sure, but it is hugely time consuming and requires LOTS of coconuts to produce decent quantities. I inadvertantly also make oil each time I make coconut cream, but I could never make useable quantities this way.

It’s actually not that hard to make raw coconut oil yourself. Make coconut cream, and let it sit out on the counter on a hot summer day. When the oil splits from the ‘curds’, transfer it to the fridge very carefully, without shaking. When refrigerated, the oil is very hard, while the curds are much softer. It’s easy to then separate the oil from the curds. I discovered this by accident when I forgot to refrigerate coconut cream on a hot summer day.

If the coconut cream doesn’t separate after a day or two, then it’s not warm enough. You can try putting it in the oven or on a heating mat, but be very careful not to overheat it!

Hey Mike, email me your address and i’ll see if I can do better for a small order.

BTW, it’s not how long you apply pressure to your wrist for but rather with what intensity.

They responded by email that there is a 50% cost reduction if ordered in 200 liter barrel (probably made of metal) of VCO sent by sea/ land. Wow, that’s a lot of oil.
Meanwhile, if I want just a bottle, it will cost me up to 4 times the price listed on their website.
By the way, the brand I recently used was from Now Foods (the only one I could find here).

PS: The cyst does not hurt unless I apply too much pressure or I bend my wrist too much. It probably takes more time that a 10 seconds massage to get read of it.
