Coconut Cream Detox - Lack of Dairy

[2006]

[Attendee]

When I was in Burma, I drank a bunch of coconut milk after I got outta-

[Aajonus]

Coconut water?

[Attendee]

Coconut milk. They would take the coconut and they would put it through a grinder. And you know, they would take all the meat and ground it and that's what they'd give me, and they would do like five or six coconuts, I'd end up with about a quart.

[Aajonus]

Coconut cream.

[Attendee]

Coconut cream, right. And I had sugar cane juice on the street, same thing. They just took a sugar cane through like a hand grinder. And I was eating raw eggs to offset the fact that I had eaten so many fried foods during the meditation retreat I was at. Mm-hmm.

I lost about 20 pounds at this retreat, you couldn't eat past noon every day, but was that a good thing to do for my body?

[Aajonus]

Absolutely. Clean out the stuff.

[Attendee]

And then what happened was I experienced an extreme amount of diarrhea for like two weeks.

[Aajonus]

Absolutely, you will with that much coconut cream. My God. Lucky you didn't go every hour.

[Attendee]

But so that was a good clean.

[Aajonus]

Absolutely. May have demineralized you to some extent, so eating cheese when you returned would've been the best thing to do. Lots of cheese.

[Attendee]

Yeah, I started doing butter.

[Aajonus]

Not after doing that regime and being mineral deficient, you won't digest the fat.

If you're going to eat the lubrication formula, you have to eat it with a lot of cheese.

[Attendee]

So, it's safe to do that? You could drink a bunch of coconut cream?

[Aajonus]

Depends upon the individual, like I said, it could demineralize the system too fast.

[Attendee]

But if you ate cheese with it to keep the minerals.

[Aajonus]

Have you made a coconut cream cheesecake? It's very nice.

Depends how hungry you are. I've been so hungry I downed a pint, of course I had diarrhea for two days.

[Attendee]

I think 3 oz (6 tbsp) is enough for me.

[Aajonus]

Yeah, me too most of the time, but when I'm in Asia and I can't get dairy, I'll consume at least a cup of it a day.

[Attendee]

Is it a good substitute for the dairy?

[Aajonus]

Not really. It's not building, it's cleansing, but it's a fat that I have to have. I eat so many more eggs, sometimes I eat up to 40 a day.

I still eat meat there. I can get lots of meat. It's just that I'm so used to having so much dairy fat, cream and the butter, heaven. And it just stabilizes my body, really grounds me. And then when I'm there in Asia for seven weeks at a time, and by the fifth week, I start downing that coconut cream more often.
