Island Fresh Coconut Oil - OMG!



The owner of Island Fresh - Mark Anderson blessed me with this oh so generous 54 fl oz organic, virgin, cold-pressed, non-gmo, unrefined coconut oil. The product arrived packed snugly. Anyone who complains that their item arrives leaking is honestly just simply lying! The seal was so tight as well as the cap that I had to get my husband to help out and open it and he struggled. This type of packaging ensures that this item is pure and untouched from any oxygen which would alter its freshness.

I love the simple approach this small company employs in regard to the labeling. I also appreciate the design of their website http://www.island-fresh.com/ . Good health does not have to be complicated!

The taste! OMG! Fresh coconuty, just a tad unctuous. I started out taking one tablespoon before bed. I have to tell you that my digestion (sparing you the details) has been better and I prefer this in place of fiber at night. Taking some oil before bedtime helps my liver out and is better than dessert! Google the benefits of coconut oil - guaranteed that your findings will be ala Bubba shrimp... 

I gave this oil to my dog on a dinner plate. It was gone lickety split! And I also scooped some into a glass Ball jar. Now when she sees me pick up the jar she comes a runnin'. She thinks I am going to feed it to her, but I apply it to her skin as she tends to have dry skin. As soon as I apply it she is licking it off! The benefits are twofold.

Since I have just been diagnosed with hypothryroidism (with supplementation I dodged the "Armour Thyroid" meds bullet) I was interested in coconut oil as thyroid support as mentioned on the label. 

I liked applying the oil to my hair (yummy smell), but found it was a bit too oily even after I shampooed it. However, this item is a great after shower moisturizer! I have added to a glass cosmetic jar and use it in place of expensive lotions which I have found even though gluten free, and contained wonderfully beneficial plant-based ingredients - just don't do much for my suntanned skin.

I could sing praises of Island Fresh Coconut Oil all day long long into the night. This jar has a special place in my kitchen away from heat and light. It proudly waits for me to open it and enjoy throughout the day. I will be a consumer of this product for a very long time. Thank you, Island Fresh!!!

OraMD Breath by Trusted Health Products


Holy Toledo (I always wanted to say that, but never did a situation present itself in which this phrase fit perfectly)! Now I have. I would love to share the beauty of OraMD Breath.

Here goes...I eat raw garlic each and every day - 365 days a year without fail. And so - this product was an excellent product for me to put to the test. OraMD Breath passed my "breathalyzer" with flying colors! I sprayed once in my mouth every morning for a month before I got in the pool to swim at early morning Masters. My lane mate was so happy! No one wants to smell garlic breath before the birds or up - or ever - for that matter, actually.

I sent a bottle home with my swim coach and she tried it out on a sore throat for a day. She appreciated the fresh breath but I think she may have overdone it, because she had a bit of slight bout with heartburn. I have never had that problem with this product and I do believe the reason may because I only eat organic and live on a 90% plant based diet and so my body is used to many natural potent oils and such. Speaking of which, what makes OraMD Breath so powerful are the 3 ingredients which are a proprietary blend with special properties of almond oil, spearmint and peppermint oil.

I have to believe if my swim coach used this product prior to the sore throat; she may have never have gotten the sore throat because of the germ-killing properties.The manufacturer has stated OraMD Breath has:

  • Ingredients clinically proven to kill periodontal bacteria (which is the worst kind of oral bacteria) – in a recent University of Kentucky Clinical Study
Also,  "The big difference between OraMD Breath and other products is not the fact that our ingredients also kill the germs that cause bad breath, but the fact that we do it with 100% pure and natural ingredients-no chemicals of any kind." Impressive!

I recommend OraMD Breath to be used along with OraMD - The Mouth Doctor. Refreshing, healthy - the best dental regime.
     
For a limited time, the manufacturer is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have our readers try out Breath and agreed to send one bottle FREE if our readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge. This is a one-time only offer!
