How to Open a Coconut at Home the Fastest Way

by

I remember being frustrated at seeing a video of someone showing how to open a bald coconut for coconut milk. The guy in the demo was poking holes in the coconut “eyes”… and taking an abominably long time to finish the entire process. My eyes rolled.

Well here is how to open a coconut at home the fastest way. I live in coconut land, so that’s all the credentials I need.

Step 1 – Get bald coconut on palm of left hand and expose the axis on top. Have a basin ready at the bottom of your hand to catch coconut water.

Step 2 – Get your big heavy knife and flip it for the blunt edge ready for striking the coconut across the axis / equator.

Step 3 – Strike once hard, the coconut will split across the axis and release the water. Pry open with knife if needed to release the coconut water.

Step 4 – If the coconut is not entirely split open, turn the coconut 90 degrees across the axis and strike it again a SECOND TIME. If you don’t finish opening a 2nd time, strike a THIRD TIME.

That’s it. Coconut open.

As you can see there is absolutely no danger in you harming your left hand with your big knife because the blunt edge is used to strike the coconut.

I hope this helps you open up coconuts pronto.

Appendicitis, Appendectomy: Avoid Surgery with Herbal Colon Cleanser Senna Tea – Testimonial

by

Getting involved in the raw paleo diet forum has its benefits.  Saving the world from illness, 1 person at a time.  This time it was barely a year member Zaidi had intense stomach pains.  Suspected appendicitis, appendectomy recommended by the ever blame less conventional emergency medical care system.  But Zaidi wanted something better, a better outcome than appendicitis, appendectomy.  How about no appendectomy? No surgery! It certainly is possible, ask the guys at the raw paleo diet forum.

In http://www.rawpaleodietforum.com/general-discussion/urgent-what-to-do-in-appendicitis/ Zaidi asked:

I am feeling pain in right side stomach and also have slight fever at moment.

My house doctor has just told me to go to the hospital as he doubts it is Appendicitis.

Please advise what to do. I don’t want to undergo any operation

Members were quick to jump in with what they know.

One said, go to the hospital, “It ruptures, you die. Simple as that. I would go to the hospital.”

Others admittedly maverick:

Zaidi – did you mean to say that your doctor told you to go to the hospital because he thinks it’s appendicitis instead of he doubts that it’s appendicitis? I don’t know why your doctor wants you to go to the hospital if he doubts it’s appendicitis. Then he would more likely tell you to come to the office for an examination. Maybe he’s being very cautious?

If your doctor thinks it is appendicitis then you could have have a serious condition – your appendix can rupture and that would be really bad. I understand fully that you don’t want surgery – but unless someone knows for certain here how to reverse such a thing quickly – you don’t have much of a choice.

Here’s the only thing that I think I would try – but this is me – and it’s really stupid. The smart thing to do is to go to the hospital asap. I’m a nut – remember that. I wouldn’t go to a hospital if the other choice was death – so I’m very extreme.

Appendicitis is an infection of a small part of the colon that no longer has any use. Sometimes it is caused by something getting stuck and sometimes – just an infection starts. The appendicitis gets filled up with pus from the dying white blood cells. Sometimes doctors will try a course of antibiotics or they can do what is called keyhole surgery leaving the tiniest of scars and which is not very invasive. These are very good options. They are not nearly as bad as having a ruptured appendix. They are smart. Dumb me – what I would do is take my mixture of dmso with colloidal silver and I would rub it right on the place that is in pain. The dmso would take the colloidal silver directly into the blood stream right where the infection is. But I have dmso, have already researched it for myself, experimented with it at length and believe it to be harmless. I know it reduces swelling fast. I don’t believe all the warnings you will find because I have researched it from all sides. You have no reason to believe me vs. anyone else. I also have used colloidal silver for decades to heal myself and others of many things. I trust it. I know how to make sure it is good quality.

You can’t take anything internally that won’t have to fight all your other gut bacteria before getting to that infected appendix. Who knows if that might not do you more harm anyway than having surgery?

If you have appendicitis you are in an emergency situation. It’s hard to learn what you need to learn in an emergency. You also have to acquire what you may decide to try once you learn what you think might help you better than surgery.

But……. if your doctor indeed DOUBTS that it is appendicitis – then you have time to research and experiment. It can then be many different things giving you that pain. You can let the doctors give you a diagnosis and decide how to treat it for yourself after you know more about what it is.

I have very limited knowledge and experience with appendicitis. Maybe someone else here does. But don’t wait too long ok? You REALLY don’t want that thing rupturing.

I just gave my personal experience with myself and healing others of appendicitis, appendectomy avoidance… 4 people, even if they were scheduled for surgery as I explained here:

It’s my theory, if you don’t have Dr. Tam’s in your area.

It was up to our hero Zaidi, and we fellow raw paleo diet forum members waited for Zaidi’s report on what happened to him. He finally replied a few minutes ago:

Hallo all of you my dear paleo friends.

I am back home without Operation.

Dorothy’s first mail was the last which I read before going to hospital. That helped me in the sense that Doctor’s were not sure about appendicitis (even after urine & blood test & ultrasound), but still they wanted to operate…. which I didn’t allow.
(Dr. Surgeon meant abdomen at that area was very hard and he was sure it was appendicitis, even if reports were not showing so high infection results)

Then my friend printed out the remaining posts of this thread for me and brought to me.

Thank you GS for concrete information and after reading your advice, I knew what to do. Luckily, in the mean time I got first (little) bowl movement at it’s own and it reduced the pain (but only very little).

I got no Miracle Tea …. so I left with two choices:

1. Get a Salt water flush.

2. Take Senna Tea.

I wanted to ask you advice, but not possible in hospital. So, I went for Senna Tea.

After few hours, I got another bowl movement….. and I was a happy man.

My abdomen became softer and Dr. felt it too and was little surprised too. I also got rid of 70-80% pain just after the 2nd bowl movement. And with in next 2-3 hours, it became more better.

At moment I am almost pain free, and have just come back home after being discharged from hospital. (3rd Blood Test showed all the infections disappeared, after which they allowed me to go back home).

And first thing after coming home I am doing is replying here. First thing I wanted to do was to say Thank you Dorothy, Thank you GS, thank you admins for providing us with this forum, thank you members for keeping this forum alive, sharing your experiences, saving the world.

My eyes are little wet. Could not write more. Love you my friends.

(GS – the initials of GoodSamaritan, my username in the Raw Paleo Diet Forum http://www.rawpaleodietforum.com community.)

Awwww… :'(
My eyes are wet too.
So happy for you!
Congratulations!

Let this be a testimonial for the power of Senna Tea vs Appendicitis!
(As shared by Zaidi.)

* Warning: Senna Tea is not for children… so I’ve heard. *

So keep some Senna Tea in the house for emergencies. I keep castor oil too. Come to think of it, senna tea is so much easier for many people to take since castor oil just tastes to bad and is so thick. Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea is just so impossible in a foreign country outside the Philippines, it just does not keep… it’s a fresh alive product. Senna Tea keeps well… for a long time.

Sagada Oranges are Here in Manila!

by

My quest for organic / good quality oranges in Manila has been answered by Sagada oranges… oranges from Sagada mountain farms. They are big. And they taste good. So much better than China navel oranges we usually get in the markets… which I think are no good for orange juice fasting… my tongue says the China navel oranges fail in the brix meter of nutrients… they feel so empty.

I got a plastic box of sagada oranges for 1,000 today… this is my 2nd box. Each box has 32 oranges. Good enough for a few days as my son’s diluted orange juice drink.

We usually juice 4 to 5 oranges a day for my son, then add the same quantity of water in a 1:1 ratio.

This is his drink… better than water. For those who don’t know, my son is currently on a raw paleo diet with diluted orange juice daily to help cure his leaky gut where eczema symptoms had shown up. At this time we are almost healed… say 97%.

Will probably do a 3 day orange juice fast with my son using more Sagada oranges next week.

Appendicitis Appendectomy Avoidance with Herbal Colon Cleanser Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea

by

Avoid appendicitis appendectomy by always having in stock a bottle of Dr. Tam’s Miracle tea. The appendix is an important organ.  Researcher say it provides our colon with probiotics.  Appendicitis appendectomy is often suggested by the medical profession as it is a quick and profitable surgical procedure… $$$ man $$$.  And they say you won’t miss your appendix.  Oh yes you would.  There is no such thing as a vestigial organ… the appendix being a  vestigial organ is surgical poppycock!

My wife had appendicitis appendectomy when she was 4 months pregnant with our 3rd child.  We did not know any better back then.  But we do now.  We discovered colon cleansers.  One of the shining great colon cleansers is Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea made and sold by Dr. Tam Mateo.  It is sold in Tiendesitas and Metro Walk in Pasig City.

Years ago, a friend called me and said he had appendicitis and he was scheduled for surgery. I pleaded he defer appendicitis appendectomy surgery for a day, and I will drive over with a bottle of Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea.  He drank the seemingly harmless 1/2 cup dose and in the early morning he swore his stomach was in World War 3.  But his colon was cleansed.  And he never did the appendectomy.

Just a few days ago I experimented with raw cow’s milk and heated cheese from the cow’s milk for my son who needed raw cow’s milk to fix some digestive issues.  I was driving and I immediately alternated drinking the raw cow’s milk and the cheese.  The raw cow’s milk pepped me up every time I drank it.  The cheese made me sleepy every time I ate it.  In the evening my lactose intolerant stomach started building up gas, farts.  Then I felt my appendix enlarge, inflamed.  Did the old raise your right leg up and feel if it bumps your appendix.  It did.  What to do?  Drink Dr. Tam’s miracle tea at once, just 1/2 a cup.  In 5 minutes I could feel my appendix deflating.  Man that was fast.  It took me some 4-5 hours before I pooped my guts out.

Yesterday my children came home with us from the school fair.  My 2nd child, the strong boy was down, grimacing in stomach pain.  His mom gave him some anthroposophic medicine.  I then asked my boy to do the old raise your right leg test.  Sure enough his appendix was inflamed.  Simple solution again.  Give 1/4 cup of Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea to my 8 year old boy.  He took a nap for some 30 minutes and woke up with all the tummy pain gone, no more inflamed appendix.  That was easy, again.

Moral of the story is never be a victim of appendicitis appendectomy surgery.  Keep in stock in your freezer, at least 1 bottle of Dr. Tam’s Miracle tea.  Defrost when needed.  Or better yet, always keep 1 bottle in the refrigerator and 1 bottle in the freezer like we do.

Be careful with what you eat.  Your tummy is not a garbage can.  And even if you are careful, it pays to be well armed with a powerful anti appendicitis herbal colon cleanser like Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea.

Raw Fish Ceviche with Coconut Milk = Kinilaw na Alumahan with Gata

by

Are you familiar with the small fish alumahan? If you think this fish is good and cheap as cooked in soup, or fried or paksiw, you should try this raw sashimi or even in ceviche. It is awesome. The skin especially is awesome. The skin is destroyed in cooking.

Alumahan skin when eaten and chewed raw is just creamy fatty just right. Eating alumahan raw will change your mental map of the taste of this fish.

For these afraid of sashimi, we have a kinilaw recipe / ceviche that adds even more fat. Coconut milk fat.

Procedure:

– get some 1 kilo of fresh alumahan fish
– Wash the fresh fish, remove the entrails
– fillet the fish
– cut the fillets in 2 or 3s.
– wash the fillets in organic vinegar
– squeeze your lemons
– chop your onions and tomatoes
– chop some chinger
– mix it all up and add your freshly squeezed coconut milk

You may put this in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if you live in the tropics.

I understand in some places coconut milk comes in a package or a can. I’ve never tasted that so feel free to experiment.

Super delicious. A high fat fish recipe. Omega 3 from the fish and medium chain fatty acids from the coconut.
