Studies show that an increased intake of polyunsaturated fats like coconut oil can be highly beneficial in the treatment of thyroid problems. This was even confirmed with the cases of Sharon and Donna, two patients who suffered from the same issue.
Sharon started using coconut oil in September of 2002 and experience complete change in her life. She still gained some weight but her overall symptoms improved significantly. When she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism she started taking Synthroid and Cytomel to treat the condition but her health didn’t improve. She then decided to eliminate trans fats, add coconut oil to her diet and eliminate soy and sugars, in addition to cleansing her body of toxins occasionally.
At her doctor’s request, she stopped taking the medications and immediately noticed higher energy levels. She gained weight during the first three weeks which she later shed. Once she felt better and wanted to remove the coconut oil from her diet she immediately experienced tiredness and sluggishness.
Donna, the other patient, reported that her thyroid disorder made her feel sluggish, slowed down her metabolism and made her gain weight even though she was constantly starving and on a diet.
Introducing coconut oil to her diet changed her life as well. She was able to melt the body fat, improve her overall health, feel more energize and was able to lose up to 20 pounds.
