How does the Cannabis Coconut Connection heal?

 


One thing I can tell you for free is that, if the coconut plant possessed psychedelic properties it would also have been illegal. Even though there are no psychoactive chemicals in the coconut tree, both Cannabis and coconut have a history of being demonized in society. Cannabis has been illegal since the 1930’s, and coconut oil has been condemned for over 70 years. Coconut has been blamed for causing high cholesterol and heart disease when the truth is, that the real culprit is margarine and other yellow oils. To this day, some people still believe that coconut oil can block our arteries. Simple subtraction tells us that coconut oil melts at above room temperature which is 23 degrees Celsius so at 24 degrees it is already melting. Our human body temperature is 36.5 degrees Celsius. It is impossible for coconut oil to remain solid inside the body while the heart is still pumping, and even when you take a solid piece of coconut oil and start to rub it on your skin it will immediately start to melt.

In my mind the most important reason for demonizing these two plants is actually all to do with fats and not even so much about the psychedelic effects of THC. Cannabis and all of its chemical components are fat-soluble substances, and only perform their functions through bonding with other fats. Coconut is up to 96% saturated fat, and this is why it is the perfect extraction solvent for Cannabis medicine.

This is why the human brain is the main target for the Cannabis plant and specifically THC. If you consider that our brain is composed of over 60% fat we start to see a pattern of natural attraction between the fat factors of these two plants and our brains. And we can see exactly how important certain types of fats are to our survival because not all fats are created equally. There are good fats and there are bad fats. THC requires a highly saturated fat to reach the brain as fast as possible. Cannabis is known among botanists to be the fattiest plant on earth. Organic Virgin (OV) coconuts produce the highest saturated fats (up to 98%) making the coconut tree a worthy first cousin to the human companion plant. [35] (Chang et al)

Since the 1980’s it’s been my medical mission to develop a holistic medicine that is capable of entering the body via the liver. This is why I originally chose to extract with OV coconut oil instead of alcohol or butane for example, because OV coconut oil works completely differently in the body than any of the yellow fats and oils. I will show you how remarkable this oil is for human health, and how both Cannabis and coconut can cure most known human diseases effectively and with almost no side-effects. Another reason why OV coconut oil is the perfect delivery system for Cannabis medicine is that, it is in the liver where THC is actually metabolised. More than 55% of THC is excreted in the faeces and only around 20% in the urine.

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, and is unique because it receives blood from two distinct circulatory routes. Oxygenated blood flows in from the hepatic artery and nutrient- rich blood flows in from the hepatic portal vein. The hepatocytes are the liver cells, which absorb and release nutrients as needed. They also metabolize dangerous chemicals thus protecting the rest of the body. The liver assists in resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing bacteria from the blood. Many illnesses have their root cause in the liver, which means that there is an energy blockage in the liver that causes unbalance and illness in the body.

Why does VO coconut oil go straight to the liver?

More than 65% of coconut oil is made up of Lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that is converted to monolaurin in our bodies. Monolaurin is a monoglyceride that can destroy lipid (fat)-coated viruses like HIV, herpes, measles influenza, various pathogenic bacteria, as well as protozoa such as giardia lamblia, which is a dangerous gut parasite that reproduces in the small intestine. OV coconut oil contains more Lauric acid than any other substance or plant on earth, so you can see how both Cannabis and coconut contain unique molecules that we all need for self-healing. These molecules are unique in that they are even found in human breast milk.

In cooking, we generally work with yellow fats & oils and white fats & oils. OV coconut oil is white oil, because it is made up of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA’s). These are taken straight to the liver because they are smaller than the long-chain fatty acids (LCFA’s) found in yellow oils. This means that MCFA’S can permeate cell membranes easily, and do not require special enzymes in order to be used properly by our bodies. MCFA’s s are easily digested, and put less strain on the digestive system, because they are taken straight to the liver. This also means that the gall bladder and pancreas are bypassed with no additional stress on these organs. LCFA’s found in yellow oils and margarine products go to the intestines via other organs because they are larger than MCFA’s, and this is why we see so many people suffering with colon conditions, as well as conditions of the gall bladder and pancreas because of the immense strain LFCA’s put on these organs.

OV coconut oil is almost 98% saturated fat, whereas yellow oils are unsaturated. The processing of oils changes the fat structure from MCFA’s to LCFA’s and also changes the colour of the oil from white to yellow. In my opinion all of these yellows oils should be banned completely, including processed coconut oil. You can clearly tell the difference between OV coconut oil and the cheaper processed ones. Once melted it clearly becomes a yellow oil, and now I do not even use these oils for topical treatments as they are no longer safe in my opinion, because the MCFA’s have been converted to LCFA’s.

When using OV coconut oil, MCFA’s are immediately converted to energy, where LCFA’s are largely stored in the body as fat and can be deposited within your arteries as cholesterol. Contrary to popular belief OV coconut oil promotes a healthy cardiovascular system because MCFA’s do not contribute to arterial plaque that builds up in our arteries. This is because of the way they are absorbed by the body. The truth is, that it is the LCFA’s found in the unsaturated fats that are causing the ever-increasing rise in heart and gastric disease.

What is the difference between coconut extract and alcohol extract?

Cannabis extracted with coconut oil is lighter in colour than oil extracted with alcohol or butane gas, which is dark and thick like treacle or tar. This is because the alcohol and butane strip all the water- soluble parts of the plants as well, including the chlorophyll, giving it the typical dark colour. Coconut-infused Cannabis oil, when solidified at room temperature is amber/avocado in colour, because it extracts only the fat-soluble components of Cannabis; so you can be sure that you are getting pure Cannabinoid extraction.

Chlorophyll also has highly beneficial medicinal properties in other applications. In some patients the chlorophyll concentrate in Cannabis oil has produced some cases of diarrhoea and upset gastric systems and nausea, which are common side-effects of chlorophyll. In less vulnerable patients they might feel brief spells of queasiness which is also the action of the chlorophyll. This does not happen when using coconut oil because the chlorophyll is not stripped in the extraction process and secondly, coconut oil is not readily absorbed into the gastric tract. It goes straight to the liver.

OV Coconut oil is the only oil stable enough to resist mild heat-induced damage, which means virtually no loss or damage to Cannabinoids. Coconut oil has a smoke point of 171 degrees Celsius, so at 100 degrees and less it cannot produce any dangerous fumes because it will not create smoke. You can experiment with this by frying two eggs, one in normal yellow oil and one in OV coconut oil. You will notice that coconut oil does not produce the brown grease rim around the egg which is the ‘bad fat’ part of the oil produced by LCFA’s in processed oils. I have experimented with other oils, for example, avocado oil and even olive oil and every time OV coconut oil wins when it comes to full Cannabinoid extraction and this is because of the natural fat binding affinity, as well as the unique natural healing abilities of both plants.

What can Cannabis and coconut oil do for you?

Both Cannabis and OV coconut have been used medicinally for thousands of years, and both are now at the forefront of medical research and breakthroughs in modern times. It is an impressive list when you start realising exactly what these two plants can do for us. You can see why this medicine works so well for so many different conditions, and how they combine to produce such a powerful natural healing remedy. Neither Cannabis nor OV coconut has any dangerous side-effects. Certainly not even one death has ever been recorded from either plant. [36] (Lardieri 2018)

Our hormones control our lives…

One of the greatest secrets to the success of Cannabis medicine is the scientifically proven fact that our EC system controls the activities of the Endocrine system. The Endocrine system is also known as our hormone system and we must never underestimate the power of hormones, which are our chemical messengers in the body. They literally run the show and control our DNA as well.

One could say that Cannabis is the plant whisperer of human DNA, because this ongoing transmission to our DNA through the control of Cannabis over our hormonal system is proving to be the ultimate antioxidant to protect our cells in order to achieve healthy cell production and development throughout our lives. [37] (The Inspired Observer, 2012) Cannabis can offer us protection against all types of cancers, neurological conditions, and brain damage from all the poisoning we are subjected to in our food, water, air, medicines and vaccinations; not to mention radiation poisoning. [38] (Komorowski et al)

Pain relief

When it comes to pain and inflammation, very often the root-cause is a hormonal imbalance, and a lot of the time when a patient has anxiety, depression, insomnia or even erectile dysfunction, any hormonal imbalance often goes unnoticed. [39] (Garcia-Leme and Farsky 1993) Experts also believe that the biggest cause of anxiety, depression and pain, is insomnia and sleep disruption. There is solid scientific proof linking hormonal changes like oestrogen and progesterone levels to insomnia. This is why Cannabis and OV coconut makes us sleep so well, because both plants regulate the absorption and secretion of our sleep hormones. So for men and women alike, if you are suffering from chronic pain and your treatments do not seem to be working, I do recommend a hormonal evaluation, and, once imbalances are identified, individual treatment plans can be implemented because I truly believe that in order to understand pain we must analyse the influence of our hormones on our pain control systems. In my book Cannabis is The Human Companion Plant I analyse the exact mechanisms whereby Cannabis medicine can heal our pain.

Weight management

We know now that Cannabis and OV coconut are both able to interact with our hormonal system. [40] (Ceres Organics 2016) It is because both plants are proven to be able to regulate metabolism and control our weight, and both also regulate the secretion and absorption of our hormones, fat absorption, blood sugar and nutrient absorption. Throughout this book we will see how Cannabis displays a regulatory role on our hormonal system, and because our EC system controls the release and absorption of our hormones, Cannabis is also able to regulate our metabolism. OV coconut oil also has the ability to regulate our metabolism, and like Cannabis, can also suppress the appetite, so both plants have the ability to control weight gain, making both valuable remedies in the fight against diabetes and obesity, because truly in this day and age, obesity is a recognised sign of sickness.

In my book I also discuss the mechanisms of how Cannabis is able to control our weight and our metabolisms. OV coconut oil can also offer weight management because the MCFA’s cause the body to store fat as an expendable energy in the liver, instead of as fatty cells in the tissues, which is what long chain fatty acids do. OV coconut oil also does not produce an insulin spike in the bloodstream.

Both plants are known to support proper functioning of the thyroid gland, which makes them both a suitable natural anti-obesity remedy. In the 1940’s farmers discovered this by default as they tried to fatten their cattle up with OV coconut oil but instead it made them lean, active and hungry at the same time. [41] (Papamandjaris et al)

Cannabis and coconut both play an important role in human heart health

Scientists have observed that Cannabis users have elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein in their blood. [42] (Lazarte et al 2019) Lipoproteins are also known as ‘good cholesterol’ and these protect us against heart disease. OV coconut oil contains a substance called Sitosterol, which lowers cholesterol, and this is how OV coconut oil reduces the risk of heart disease.

In Chapter Fifteen of my book we analyse in more detail how Cannabis works in our blood streams, but for this chapter it is important to see that OV coconut oil, because of its high fat saturation and medium-chain fatty acids, works very similarly to how Cannabis does to protect our circulatory system. You will find medical papers on the internet proving that both plants have the ability to regulate blood pressure, our blood and lymph circulation, our bone marrow development and health. [43] (Nurullman et al) Cannabis and OV coconut both also improve the production of red blood cells and contribute to improved white blood cell functioning. It just seems incredible that two such fatty plants can possess such profound healing for human hearts. [44] (Stanley CP1, 2014)

Heart disease is often said to be the number one killer, but I believe stress will always hold this first place position. Usually the first sign of heart disease is a heart attack, but unfortunately too many heart attacks are fatal. Research will always show that it is the LCFA’s in unsaturated fats that are responsible for heart disease, and not naturally occurring saturated fats such as those found in OV coconut oil. The polyunsaturated fats in most vegetable and seed oils also encourage the blood to form clots
by increasing the stickiness of blood platelets. OV coconut oil, on the other hand, is known to promote normal platelet functioning in our blood. [45] (Panchenko et al 2002) It is also very interesting that both Cannabis and OV coconut possess properties that can induce human perspiration and body cooling in times of fever. This is because they both contain chemicals that control the hormones of the hypothalamus that induce sweating.

Coconut oil is an important immune system booster

Again, the research speaks for itself. We know that both Cannabis and OV coconut oil possess anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Studies conducted to test the effectiveness of OV coconut oil against serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer, have shown positive results after preliminary trial tests. This is because of the immense immune system boosting properties of OV Coconut oil, also proving helpful in preventing liver disease, kidney disease, Crohn's disease, cancer and many infectious illnesses such as flu, herpes, bladder infections, and candida, to mention just a few; even ringworm and aluminum poisoning. One of the reasons why The Cannabis Coconut Connection ® works so well for vertigo and tinnitus is that often these symptoms are a result of a herpes infection, which can lie dormant for years in the middle ear. In terms of cancer-fighting abilities both possess anti-tumour properties, and we know that both Cannabis and OV coconut oil act as anti-oxidants.

The key to brain disease is lack of energy

When the human body experiences extreme free radical damage from toxins, our brains become unable to use glucose, resulting in a lack of energy in the brain. When the brain does not get enough energy, brain cells start to deteriorate and degenerate. Faculties like memory and motor skills will be affected as brain cells die off, and this is how conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease manifest themselves. This is because a diet filled with processed foods and toxic vegetables will not be enough to supply sufficient energy for the brain.

Unfortunately, many pharmaceutical drugs designed to treat degenerative brain conditions interfere with the way the brain uses glucose. Scientists are starting to realise that eating OV coconut oil can improve memory and reverse Alzheimer’s disease. [46] (de la Rubia Ortí JE1, 2018) Both Cannabis and OV coconut oil can help us to absorb magnesium, which is known to calm the brain. It is the MCFA’s that are turned to ketones in the liver and used as an alternative energy source for the brain. Vegetable oils like olive oil and sunflower oil do not contain MCFA’s, and cannot offer this type of healing.

Coconut oil is also effective in reducing epileptic seizures

OV coconut oil has been successfully used as part of ketogenic diets to treat people suffering from epilepsy and other conditions involving seizures. This is a very difficult diet to follow let alone for small children. It contains very high levels of total calories from fat, as compared to the sum of calories or energy obtained from carbohydrates and proteins. Using OV coconut oil as part of a ketogenic diet has given fantastic results in children who are resistant to anticonvulsant drugs. When we combine this healing with the known anti-epilepsy effects of Cannabis we produce a completely natural remedy for seizures.

Cannabis Coconut Suppositories

The Cannabis Coconut Connection® is also the perfect recipe for highly effective suppository treatment for rectal, bowel, bladder, prostate, uterine and cervical cancers; even for menstrual problems, haemorrhoids and a lot of other common conditions which affect the lower half of the body. It is amazing how many conditions can be treated with this delivery system, even conditions that manifest in other parts of the body. This is because we have Cannabinoid receptors in our entire blood stream.

There are definite benefits to absorption of medication via the delicate rectal blood vessels, and we often use this route in the treatment of fever and chronic pain. It is the quickest way to get any medicine into the blood stream besides intravenous care. Lots of people cannot tolerate the idea of putting something up their anus, but I feel this resistance is psychological. I really urge people who are ill to be more open to new ways of healing that actually work.

Because of the tiny blood capillaries in the anus and rectum the drainage and flow of blood away from this region is different than in the upper levels of the body. There is also a difference in absorption at different levels of the rectum. The upper third of the rectum is part of the hepatic portal system, which means that the blood flow from this section of the rectum goes straight to the liver to be metabolised, and this explains why healing with suppositories results in speedy recovery rates for a variety of conditions.

Coconut Oil on Your Skin

People often laugh at me when I suggest coconut oil for sunbathing, skin care and other topical applications. One never seems to hear about skin cancer cases from the Philippines or any other of the tropical islands. This is because OV coconut oil is the best skin and hair care protection you could ever hope for. It’s also the best massage oil you can find, and using Cannabis infused OV coconut oil helps to rub away aching and stressed muscles. Coconut oil also protects the skin, our largest organ, against the effects of free radicals, and also helps to improve skin appearance with its anti-ageing benefits.

Both Cannabis and OV coconut oil possess anti-oxidant properties because of their stability and resistance to oxidation and free radical formation. This is why the Cannabis Coconut Connection ® is such a popular treatment for people looking for longevity. Skin conditions like psoriasis have responded well to Cannabis and OV coconut treatment because this is a hormonal condition. A high CBN (Cannabinol) Cannabis medicine has proven to decrease the spread of keratinocytes which are a type of skin cell. In psoriasis, these cells are hyperactive and grow to create those dreaded patchy sections of skin. [47] (Tamás Bíró, 2009)

Cooking with Cannabis

Cannabinoids were always part of the world’s food chain until the early 1930’s international ban on hemp products. Significantly, it was around this time that we started to see an increase in cancers everywhere in the world. It’s important for anyone cooking or working with Cannabis in any way to have a brief knowledge of Hemp, which is also Cannabis, but it is grown in a different way for different purposes. In just three to four months hemp can be harvested to produce over 50 000 different products, including wood, paper, cotton and plastic. Hemp requires half the amount of water than cotton needs and, best of all, hemp doesn’t need to be genetically modified because it is naturally pest-resistant.

Cannabis also gives us fuel, and the very first car built by Henry Ford was fuelled by hemp oil. Something mankind needs a lot of is paper…and the very first bibles were scribed upon hemp paper thousands of years ago. One acre of hemp produces the same amount of paper as 4.1 acres of trees. Cannabis can even supply us with hemp plastic and frankly it’s hard to understand why hemp plastic is not everywhere already.

Anything that can be made from plastic can also be made from hemp. Most importantly, Cannabis provides the food we need to supplement our delicate receptor and hormonal systems. Hemp is also an edible part of the Cannabis plant kingdom, containing a high level of protein, and hemp seeds are high in omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids. Truly Cannabis can help humans to survive, and scientists know full well that one acre of hemp is capable of producing more oxygen than 25 acres of forest[48] (Rodriguez-Leyva and G Pierce 2010)

Cannabis and OV coconut oil can be used in cooking and baking. You will see the difference in using OV coconut oil when frying eggs as mentioned before.

Frying of food really just destroys the antioxidants in the oil and oxidizes the oil. It causes cross-linking, cyclization, double carbon bonds, fragmentation and polymerization of oils, which means that they produce highly toxic chemicals.

OV coconut oil is a natural saturated fat unlike polyunsaturated fats like vegetable oils, for example corn, soy, safflower, sunflower and canola oils. These are high in omega-6 fats, which are susceptible to heat damage because of these double carbon bonds. When we cook with omega-6 oils, a toxic compound called Acrylamide is formed. This is the compound found in the deep brown grime that forms on the surface of fried foods. Consuming too much Acrylamide will result in liver cell damage and even certain cancers. [49] (Benziane et al 2019). There is also a high association between the levels of omega-6 fats in cell membranes and the risk of heart disease.

These ‘trans-fats’ do not occur in nature in plants, and only occur in small amounts in animal fats and dairy products. They are known as vaccenic acid. Trans-fats are man-made through the process of hydrogenation. Vegetable oils contribute to the overabundance of damaged omega-6 fats in our diets, which create an imbalance in the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. Omega-6 fats are all highly processed, and these days are consumed in amounts about one hundred times more than our ancestors did a century ago. It is the actual processing treatment that distorts the sensitive omega-6 to 3 ratio. This ratio is important because it controls many delicate biochemical pathways in the body and brain. In my opinion, this disturbance of the intricate fat ratios in our bodies and brain is one of the reasons why we are seeing such an increase in so many chronic degenerative diseases like Muscular Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Olive oil is not suitable for cooking with heat, because of its chemical structure, which makes it open to oxidative damage. But it is wonderful as a salad dressing. So one really has to think hard about what is the best oil to cook and bake with, and truly OV coconut oil has proven to be the best of the best. This is precisely why I use it to produce my medicine.

If you enjoy dining out at restaurants you would be wise to check whether they use sunflower oil or OV coconut oil, because in tight economic times, many restaurants are looking at cutting costs, and one of the first things that happens is that sunflower oil becomes overused. This has been identified as a common trigger for seizures in people suffering from epilepsy.

My advice is that whenever you need an oil to cook with, use OV coconut oil instead of butter, olive oil, vegetable oils, margarine, or any other type of omega-6 oil. The Cannabis Coconut Connection ® contains Cannabinoids, terpenes, terpenoids, flavonoids, MCFA’s, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals ranging from calcium and potassium to Vitamin B-6 and E. This medicine also helps us to absorb other vital vitamins, especially vitamin D. It is an oil-based medicine that can offer holistic healing, which no two other plants together can produce.
