OUR STORY
This is our story- it is what we lived through that led to our discovering the benefits of coconut oil.
Several years ago my husband’s health started to fail. Corann became progressively more exhausted no matter how much he was able to sleep. Being over 40 he would go for his regular medical check-ups. According to all the tests that are standard everything was fine-all his "numbers" looked good. Even though he tried to eat right, exercise and get enough sleep. He became more and more fatigued. His bones ached with exhaustion and he felt so depleted he would be nauseous. There would come a time every day when he had hit the limit of functioning, he would start to shake if he weren’t able to lie down quickly. Needless to say he couldn’t cope with much and wasn’t really living a life.
Finally after years of decline he was diagnosed with "Hashimoto’s Syndrom" a pervasive and little understood thyroid condition. Corann was immediately put on medication (Levoxyl). Every month he went to his endocrinologist to check his numbers and re-evaluate the dosage. Due to a steady decline in his thyroid function, his medical dosage had to be increased at every visit. And then the prescription chain of events started to occur, his thyroid medicine did little to alleviate his physical symptoms. Being constantly exhausted led to depression and he was placed on anti-depressant. The anti-depressant led to impotency for which he was prescribed another medication. Despite all the medication he was still exhausted, constantly chilled, felt achy all the time and his German pink complexion turned grey. Then the weight gain started. In one year, Corann who is 6'3 and normally weighs around 200lbs, ballooned up to 280lbs. He was gaining over a pound a week and when he told his endocrinologist what was happening, he was told that’s what happens when you’re over 40. Corann used to model and had classic model high cheek bones, in a few months his face became completely round, with puffy eyelids dropping down over his eyes. He had gained so much weight so quickly that his wedding ring had to be cut off because his finger turned blue over the course of one night. His skin was stretched tight, he was grey. He would suddenly get clammy and chilled and be out of breath. His finger nails were so thin, he would reach in his pocket for his keys and split his nails to the quick.

We always strive to have family suppers every night together. This is a great family tradition and one that I am proud of, unfortunately, it became a terrible time in the day. Corann couldn’t sit upright long enough by that time of day to make it through dinner with us. He would get upset that we were eating too slowly because he knew he couldn’t stay at the table any longer. I found all of us trying to eat faster and faster - not a good habit for anyone to develop. I would tell him that’s it’s ok if needed to lie down but he would try to fight it knowing he was missing so much of our family time.
He continued to fight his exhaustion. He continued to consciously battle his depression, but with no alleviation of his physical symptoms his mental state declined. No energy, no libido, gaining weight, who wouldn’t be depressed? With all this happening his doctor kept raising the dosage of medicine and telling him he was doing fine.
Thinking we were doing everything possible for the situation we started to accept that this was the fact of our lives. Everything we had tried had failed and nothing had helped. So it seemed my husband would lead his life with no energy and I would raise our three children and structure a family life by myself.
Then I discovered something amazing. I did a web search on Hashimoto’s Syndrome on the web as I had done many times before trying to get information. This time however I noticed the pop up ads on the pages were all for various coconut oil manufacturers and natural health websites. As I researched the connection between thyroid function and coconut oil I was amazed at the amount of well documented research that was available. Hashimoto’s Syndrome was specifically named as a condition that could be CURED not just alleviated by consuming coconut oil. The recommended dosage was 3-4 tablespoons a day. Since we had tried many other natural remedies with no result, we were not immediately excited but we were desperate for anything that could help. Corann started taking 4 tablespoons of coconut oil every morning.
As you can imagine the results were so amazing we were inspired to start this company. Within one week Corann felt an increase in energy, in less than six weeks his numbers showed improvement for the first time at his regular blood test. Within two months he had weaned himself of his thyroid medication. One year later he was back to his regular weight having lost 80 lbs, is was off ALL medication. He has the energy to workout regularly and be an active part of our family. Having started an new job where no one was aware of his recent health crisis and dramatic change, he overheard someone describe him as the "tall, skinny, hyper-active Dude" Corann has a completely new lease on life and owes it all to the amazing benefits of coconut oil.
