To tell you the truth, I like Nutiva's flavor better than Tropical Traditions. It is very fresh tasting. I think it is just as high of quality as well as it is cold pressed. Sorry I can't give you any feedback on comparing it to Barleans. Sarah Hi Andrea,

I just started using coconut oil and love it both internally and externally as a moisturizer. I've only used Barlean's extra virgin coconut oil though but just found tropical traditions website today, does anyone know how they compare? I'm most concerned about the flavor since I love coconut and the Barleans has an excellent flavor. Hi, very informative post.

If you haven't already eliminated sugars and starches from your diet, this may be a good place to start. I think for me, I needed both the coconut oil and the change of diet. Maybe try other things in very small amounts like probiotics or lacto fermented sauerkraut. Also, how little is little? If you are very sensitive to it, start with just a drop, literally, and see if you can build up from there after a week or so. I hope this helps! Sarah Hi M,

I've tried using coconut oil, but each time I felt so sick (achy, no energy, like I'm getting a flu) that I've stopped. I only take the littlest bit, but after a few days of doing this, the flu like feeling comes. It scares me thinking I must have so many toxins in my body (even though I eat well) that I just can't handle the coco. oil. Any suggestions? Hi I read your article with great interest.

See my coconut blog (http://freshcoconutoil.blogspot.com) for how I make it. It not only gives you the oil but the fiber and enzymes from the coconut. I have also used coconut oil for the quick healing of cold sores. It is THE BEST treatment I have ever found for cold sores. You can make biodiesel too but that is another topic. :-) Peace Dale Try making coconut milk (from the raw coconut). See my coconut blog (http://freshcoconutoil.blogspot.com) for how I make it.

Thanks for posting such a personal and informative review. Sometimes it is just nice to be reminded of how great it is when I like using it in so many things. A good reminder not to give it up.
