Great website. The info about the coconut oil is great, I don`t that any info from my Dr. It`s like I am just stuck with all the baggage that comes with Hypothyroidism. This is really awesome. I hope the coconut oil really works. It will be a first. Thank you.

It is what made me search for more info regarding hypothyroidism and natural supplements. I haven’t tried anything yet, but the coconut oil seems to be worth the try!

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your comment.

My best guess is that simply craving coconut is not enough to determine whether or not you have hypothryoidism. There are many symptoms that point to this condition. Feel free to read through them and if you find that you are experiencing some or all of these symptoms then consult a doctor and ask him or her to run the necessary blood tests to be sure.

I crave coconut quite often, after reading this I wonder if this is because on my thyroid.

Hi Patty,

You can purchase virgin coconut oil at most nature food stores. I know that Whole Foods a chain that is found all over the US carries both virgin coconut oil that can be used in cooking as well as supplements.

I use coconut oil all the time since I found out about it a couple of years ago. One way to get it down is put a tablespoon of it in warm water with a little lemon juice, preferably organic real lemon juice (not the store bought bottled stuff). This is a nice refreshing drink in the mornings and will also help with bowel action. Another way is to put the coconut oil in smoothies, mix it with olive oil and put on salads, spread it on toast, or just cram a spoonful in your mouth and swallow quick. Enjoy!

Hi JF,

You should be able to find both the capsules and the virgin coconut oil in health food stores… I’ve bought both in a store called Whole Foods…

A friend of mine suggested coconut oil and I started taking it…and all I can say is WOW!!! That terrible fatigue, restlessness, “thinking through mud” feeling is gone. My overall mood and energy levels were greatly enhanced. My skin, hair, nails and even the whites of my eyes are looking the best it has in years. One great benefit is it helped reduce that terrible bloat especially during PMS times. And just when things could get any better, my overall PMS symptoms (including those extreme mood swings) were better and I have been suffering from HORRIBLE cramps my whole life. I am a true believer in the power of one little supplement and have told just about everyone I know about it. For all of us hypothyroid sufferers this is truely something to take note of.
