The Lime and the Coconut

Coconuts provide the fatty acid, lauric acid. The only other plentiful source of this is from lactating women; breast milk. When ingested, lauric acid is then converted to monolaurin and kills or inactivates protozoa, including several species of ringworm and Giardia lamblia.
For tapeworms it is suggested to drink the juice and eat the flesh of one fresh coconut first thing each morning then fast for 4 hours.
if you consume coconut in any of its various forms (whether it be raw coconut, coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut butter, etc.), it can help treat some of mankind’s worst and most resilient of illnesses such as influenza, giardia, lice, throat infections, urinary tract infections, tapeworms, herpes, gonorrhea, bronchitis, and numerous other ailments caused by microbials.

The health benefits of lime include weight loss, skin care, good digestion, relief from constipation, eye care, and treatment of scurvy, piles, peptic ulcer, respiratory disorders, gout, gums, urinary disorders, etc. These citrus gems contain calcium and folate, two nutrients that are important for post-menopausal women and women of child-bearing age.

One fresh lime contains 22 milligrams of calcium and over five micrograms of folate. The limonoid compounds in limes have been shown to prevent cancers of the colon, stomach and blood. Though the exact mechanism is unknown.Lime limonoids also stay active longer in your bloodstream, mopping more free radicals than green tea or dark chocolate...and....

Lime juice contains more citric acid than orange or grapefruit juice. Citric acid is a natural inhibitor of kidney stones made of crystallized calcium.



Try this recipe for a refreshing Lime / Coconut drink


4 shots cream of coconut (sweetened coconut cream, such as Coco Lopez)
1 shot agave nectar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 to 3 limes)
1/4 fresh lime
1 tbsp finely shredded, unsweetened, dehydrated coconut (such as Let's Do...Organic)
2 large cups ice (500g by weight)
Lime wedges, for garnish

Steps
1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Garnish glasses with wedges of lime.

Notes
The recipe calls for 1/4 fresh lime. Yes, the whole thing ... rind and all. Depending on how powerful your blender is, it may be a good idea to cut up the 1/4 lime into smaller pieces, but either way, in it all goes!

For the dehydrated coconut, we used finely shredded coconut like that used in baking. The texture is much finer than traditional shredded coconut, like you might use to make coconut macaroons, and works better in this cocktail. (We tried both...)

Degrees of Free-dom
This recipe is: gluten-free, dairy/lactose/casein-free, peanut-free, fish-free, shellfish-free, egg-free, soy-free, corn-free.

Depending on your perspective on coconut, this recipe may also be considered tree-nut-free.

This recipe can also be made refined-sugar-free by using unsweetened coconut cream and additional agave nectar.

Green Rose Hula

Laida Paia, Mrs. James Keoni Willis, a member of John Almeida's trio composed this mele (song) although it has always been attributed to John  Kameaaloha Almeida . She was the mother of Koko Willis and John  Kameaaloha Almeida  acknowledged and always gave her due credit when he performed it, especially when Koko or other members of her family were in the audience. Confirmed by Pali Lee, wife of Koko Willis who died in 1994.
