coconut oil is an edible oil that has been consumed in tropical places for thousands of years . studies done on native diets high in coconut oil consumption show that these populations are generally in good health , and don’t suffer as much from many of the modern diseases of western nations where coconut oil is seldom consumed anymore .
shannon thank you so much . i enjoyed hosting your family very much . thank you for being a part of the revolution . i hope to see you all again next year !
the people of bougainville island ( near papua new guinea ) have succeed where many groups have failed . this small island has managed to keep back the army of papua new guinea . as their struggle fought on and an embargo was placed on them , a different kind of revolution was born ; a coconut revolution . from food to biodiesel and everything in between , the people of bougainville have survived for years under the embargo by utilizing old and discovering new ways of using coconuts . this is an inspiring story of resourcefulness and human will .
the islanders had the coconuts , enthusiasm and the people to do the work .
it was with a glowing view of the bounteous liberality of the coconut palm that i visited a number of coconut farms . here i was surprised to find that the farmers were relatively poor . this seemed strange given the number of different products they had to sell . i also noticed a lot of empty land under the palms .
i next visited the down - stream processing . the conversion of the beautiful clean white flesh of a mature coconut into smoky , dirty , copra puzzled me but i took it as a necessary evil when i visited a large copra mill and was shown the rivers of dark brown oil that flowed from the copra and into refining , bleaching and deodorising ( rbd ) processes that resulted in a lovely golden , odourless , final product . i visited sites making coconut - shell charcoal . the smoke , dirt and evidence of child labour here and at sites making and weaving coir products out of coconut husk suggested a tropical version of the
dark and satanic mills
of the industrial revolution two centuries earlier in england .
this is a great movie . i have been a proponent of using coconut oil for a myriad of uses forever . even with that i learned so much and would like to know if there is a manual of bouganvillian coconut medicine . thanks
coconut oil was once prevalent in western countries like the united states . with a long shelf life and a melting point of 76 degrees , coconut oil was a favorite in the baking industry . but a negative campaign against saturated fats in general , and coconut oil in particular , led to most food manufacturers abandoning coconut oil in recent years in favor of hydrogenated polyunsaturated oils that come from the main government - subsidized cash crops in the us , particularly corn and soy . these hydrogenated oils contain trans fatty acids . the polyunsaturated oils were not a big part of the diet of previous generations , so how has the health of americans changed now that polyunsaturated oils are for the most part all one finds on supermarket shelves across the us ? we encourage you to take an honest look at the research presented on this website , and consider the “other side” of the story , whether it be coconut oil , saturated fats , cholesterol , or the new vegetable oils !

the war might look a bit like an “eco revolution” , but it is more than that . when bra started the war , many dreamt of closing the mine and opening it again within weeks under own management and with less workers from other provinces . there is nothing eco about that .
while some people falsely accuse coconut oil of being a “fad , ” the fact is that it is a traditional oil that has been consumed for thousands of years in tropical cultures , and the research on the health benefits of coconut oil has existed for a very long time . lauric acid , for example , has a long history of use in combating pathogens , and this research has been around for more than 50 years . coconut oil is nature’s richest source of lauric acid . so while we do publish a lot of people’s experiences with coconut oil , the evidence is not strictly anecdotal . we have a very extensive section on this website dedicated to peer - reviewed studies on the health benefits of coconut oil that are accessed primarily through pubmed . this section is updated frequently as new research is published .
last month ( may , 2018 ) i wrote about a new study published in iran that looked at the
neuroprotective effects
effects of virgin coconut oil for alzheimer ' s patients . the title of the study is virgin coconut oil ( vco ) by normalizing nlrp3 inflammasome showed potential neuroprotective effects in amyloid - β induced toxicity and high - fat . . .
be sure to look up
francis ona
on wikipedia . he denounced the elections which brought his former deputy , joseph kabui , into power , which he says saw only a 3 % turnout of eligible voters . sadly , francis , the man who started the whole revolution , died in 2005 of malaria .
amazing experience ! brandon is a great guide . laid back and very informative . we learned how to climb a coconut tree , cut open a green coconut , make shelter , start a fire , and he showed us many different kinds of plants we could eat . oh and we ate . . .
coconut revolution 101 is a fun outdoor workshop , for people of all ages . the workshop consists of hiking through a beautiful palm forest , throughout the hike you will learn about the edible plants that grow wild . also , we will look out for wildlife including mud crabs , lizards and birds . then , we will explore all that the tree of life has to offer . you will learn to climb a small palm and open coconuts to get to the delicious and nutritious food and water . then you will learn to build an emergency shelter using palm fronds . after that you get a chance to catch a spark using the coconut husk . during the workshop you will learn all about how coconuts are part of the history and culture of puerto rico . lastly we will plant baby coconuts , and discuss how the coconut played a key role in supplying food and water and protecting the coasts after hurricanes irma and maria , and why they are so important for future generations .
the people of bougainville used each and every part of the coconut , which grows abundantly in the area . it had long been known that coconut trees provided food and shelter , but many more uses were discovered for it as a result of the blockade . the skin could be heated in a fire and squeezed onto sores for healing . the husk could be burned to repel malaria - transmitting mosquitos . the leaves could be used to weave baskets . the oil could be used for lamps , for cooking , and to make soap . refined , grade a coconut oil could be used to clean guns . most impressively , through a process involving scraping , squeezing , fermenting , and cooking , coconuts could be used to produce fuel for vehicles . this is how the people of bougainville were able to continue driving cars and abandoned mine vehicles despite the lack of petrol and diesel . from fifteen coconuts , one liter of fuel can be made . coconut fuel is also less polluting than diesel , and gets double the mileage (
the second project took longer to get off the ground as i went down many ' dead - ends ' in trying to work out what was possible in the difficult circumstances of the south pacific where logistics , the tyranny of distance , technology and capital constraints were all major hurdles . all the economic advice was that the islands should stick to exporting raw copra instead of attempting to produce coconut oil locally . this was because the few existing local copra mills were running into severe management problems . an attempt to build and operate a higher value - added desiccated coconut factory was a spectacular failure .
i was amazed by the palm itself : that it should produce regular bunches of large fruit all year round ; that it had a life span akin to that of a healthy human . the fruit itself could be divided into a wide range of products ; the husk could be made into coir fibre products ; the shell into tools , ornaments , charcoal and activated carbon . then there was the nutritious juice followed by the flesh which had delicious milk , cream , oil and — potentially — desiccated coconut . then i watched with fascination as a man climbed a palm to gather the sweet nectar or toddy from the young flowers ( inflorescence ) . a little later i took time out to relax at a beautiful resort where the décor had a coconut theme . all the structural pillars were made of polished coconut trunks . it was stunning .
the extractive activity of mining on the island of bougainville helped the region develop sustainability in an unexpected way . that is , the resistance of the indigenous population to rio tinto zinc’s panguna mine and papua new guinea inspired a revolution of self - sufficiency . interestingly , if it had not been for the environmental destruction caused by the panguna mine , and the resulting violent conflict , bougainvillians would probably still be relying on fossil fuels . instead , they have developed their own green energy sources : hydro - electricity produced using reused mine materials , and fuel for vehicles produced from coconuts !
sri lanka has been called the land of
serendipity
. this means a surprising , delightful , unexpected discovery . so it was with me in 1976 when i first visited that island nation . i was there to attend an international rubber conference but took the opportunity to visit all the perennial crop research institutes : tea , rubber and coconut . i also visited farmers and down - stream processors . the monocrop tea and rubber industries with their single products held few surprises but my exposure to the coconut industry stunned me . i was amazed , fascinated , surprised and shocked .
my family with children ranging from 6 - 23 years old had a great time learning all about the coconut tree . brandon was fun and entertaining . he was also very accommodating in changing our reservation last minute when we were too tired from our travels . the beach . . .
prior to our departure , in april 1986 , cyclone namu tore through the solomon islands . namu devastated the rice fields on the plains of guadalcanal , so much so that this industry has never recovered . rice is now an entirely imported staple . that same month , the world price of the solomons major export , copra ( the dried flesh of the coconut ) dropped to less than half its ‘normal’ price . deaths in the country from malaria had increased rapidly . population growth was much faster than the increase in national educational and medical services .
on my return to the anu i commenced work on two projects : the political economy of the modern chinese tea industry and the coconut industry of the south pacific . for the first project , i worked intensively with a colleague , keith forster , who was fluent in mandarin . it was an exciting project which resulted in many academic papers and a book ( green gold : the political economy of china ' s post - 1949 tea industry , published by oxford university press in 1993 ) .
surely the people of the islands look to me ; in the lead are the trading ships , bringing your sons from afar , with their silver and gold , to the honour of the lord your god , the holy one of israel , for he has endowed you with splendour .
after viewing this documentary i hope that the australian government and the papua new guinea government have taken immediate action to stop the blockade of the island of bougainville and the violence against its people who are trying to protect the island and its natural ecosystems .
the power of the people ! ! we can do anything . i loved this documentary

having visited the solomons a couple of years earlier , i really felt a burden for the country . i remember thinking that the country was “paralytic” and recalled the story of the crippled man brought to jesus on a stretcher by four friends . their way into the house was blocked by a crowd , but with a good dose of lateral thinking , they made a hole in the roof and lowered their friend through it to jesus . i recall praying that maybe i could be used in some way as a friend of the solomons to bring christ’s healing to this nation — possibly through the “tree of life” , ( the coconut palm ) with its wide range of potential products .
since no food was being imported to the island , the people had to increase their level of gardening and land cultivation . every family had to be self - sufficient in order to survive . bouganvillians grew potatoes , peanuts , corn yams , tomatoes , onions , sweet potatoes , cassava , sugar cane , taros , and pawpaw in the rich island soil . the coconut , however , was by far their most valuable resource (
while the development of this package with skilled programmer , peter matthews , was an exciting activity , it gradually dawned on me that the major problems of the relative poverty in the coconut industry had less to do with farming systems and much more to do with the products that were being produced . my graduate students ( who came primarily from the asian tropics and the south pacific islands ) were my prime teachers and i took the lessons learnt into a fulltime research position - still at the anu . to help ourselves make the transition , in 1986 my wife ( maureen ) & i took
time out
to go on a retreat with youth with a mission ( ywam ) in hawaii .
brandon was an incredible teacher . i knew ( and cared ) very little about coconuts , but through our fun excercises and demonstrations , his passion both educated me and made me excited about the tree . we climbed coconut trees ( very safely ) , planted seedlings , observed demonstrations using other local . . .

ranging from the abandoned sugar plantations in the northeast to the heart of the amazon rainforest , “quilombo country” is alive with first - person accounts of racial conflict , cultural ferment , political identity , and the struggle for land and human rights .
but playing for mostly white audiences also left lizzo longing to connect with her roots , so one day she told reed that she wanted to write a tribute to black sisterhood . the resulting track , “coconut oil , ” features gospel organ—a nod to the music she grew up hearing in church—and a recording from her grandmother’s funeral from last year , where a cousin spoke about the generations of strong women in their family . ( the song also has an epic flute solo—lizzo studied classical flute performance at the university of houston . ) lizzo says the speech inspired her to dedicate the ep to her family : “it sums up the whole reason why i’m doing this . ”
my wife and i just returned and have found the gold is in the people not in the ground . we went up to the mine and yes the devastation was like it says . we were invited to the mine by the bra man ishmael . it warmed our hearts but the blockade of did was unforgiving . . . from the png and aus sides . . we are going back . . . . my second home . .
everyone who sees this documentary and agrees with me should take the time to contact the australian government and the papua new guinea government to express their anger at this attempt at genocide on the island of bougainville and demand that the island blockade be lifted and the people of the island of bougainville be compensated for what they have been put through .
this experience is like no other , we guarantee you will have a great time and we have the reviews to back it up ! if you do not have a good time we will give you your money back ! coconut revolution 101 will give you a story to take back home with you . we are not a big business with big tour groups that take you to all the same overcrowded spots . we are a small but good , we will show you the authentic side of puerto rico , that features beautiful serene beaches and majestic mangrove forests , that tourist normally don ' t see . we also try to customize our tours to fit your needs and abilities . we have lots experience working with students of all ages , and everyone has fun . just take an easy walking tour , or challenge yourself to climb a small palm . this is your chance to try something different !
we felt we were carrying the paralytic but could find no way forward ! we tried the front door , the windows , the back door – all with the same response . the problem we were faced with is one that most solomon islanders are faced with all the time : a non - existent rural banking structure . lateral thinking was required .
one day in our daily devotions we were reading the passage in the bible in 2 kings 4 about the widow and her little bottle of oil .
this is amazing ! the bougainville people and bra are truly resourceful , after losing almost everything , i am impressed with how they bounced back from the brink . what amazes me is how they craft their own weapons , power their own villages and make remedies for all sorts of ailments . i never realized the many uses the coconut could offer . from soaps to fuel for vehicles . i have never heard of this conflict before and after watching this , it has opened my eyes and i am extremely happy that peace talks have taking place . francis is a true leader in the sense of the word . he keeps his people and the land which they live on first . i respect francis on the highest level .
hi my name is brandon , i am a part time english teacher and a part time coconut survival trainer . i studied at the university of puerto rico and received a post - bachelors certificate in alternative education . while in puerto rico i found my passion for coconuts , i realized all the uses and health benefits associated with the palma de coco ! ! i used my new passion together with my background in education , and made a really fun class ! i look forward to seeing you on the trail !
on ' retreat ' in hawaii we regularly met in small groups to pray for one another . one day it came my turn for prayer and i said that i was looking for guidance as to whether i should make the south pacific and the coconut industry a focus for my research on my return to the anu . somebody said that chapter 60 in the book of isaiah in the old testament had a relevant message . we looked at this chapter and immediately two verses seemed to leap out at me as though highlighted . verses 8 to 10a read as follows :
somare further stated that the png government would not have taken military action without rio’s activity on the island .
now , with dme , a farm family can produce pure virgin oil within one hour of opening a coconut . four or five people can produce up 60 litres of oil per day from about 600 to 1200 coconuts ( depending on the size of the nuts ) . we formed a company , kokonut pacific , to commercialise the technology . we now have dme units in all pacific island countries and many in africa , asia and the caribbean . however , implementation has been very difficult . as the news bulletins record , civil strife , coups and cyclones in fiji , png , the solomons and samoa have caused them and us countless problems .
the year after i wrote this , i was privileged to have sabbatical leave from the australian national university ( anu ) . during this time , my family and i spent three months in sri lanka where i focussed my research on the actual and potential economics of
multi - storey
cropping with particular concentration on the coconut industry . this led to the development of a computer package called mulbud ( standing for multi - crop ; multi - time - period budgeting ) that allowed researchers and farm management advisors to work through strategies for more economic outcomes in complex
agroforestry
systems .
the panguna mine on the island of bougainville is an example of projects that are ill conceived and executed with little or no regard to the people / civilization that it will displace and the land that it will destroy .
, 1999 ) . sandline international is a private ( “private” meaning privately owned independent business ) military company ( pmc ) established in the early 1990s . today , it is incorporated in the bahamas , but maintains representative offices in both england and the united states ( “overview of the company” , 2004 ) . embarrassed about needing foreign assistance , and infuriated by the cost of it , the underpaid pngdf arrested the mercenaries and threw them out , thus indirectly helping the bva (
my many visits to the solomon islands were a mix of joy and frustration . the people were lovely to work with and their faith , prayer life and passion for christ put me to shame . however , corruption , government mismanagement , wanton logging of rainforests , and the breakdown of services were very depressing . the “paralytic” was getting sicker by the day ! if the cripple was a paraplegic 18 years ago , by the time ramsi ( regional assistance mission to the solomon islands ) intervened in 2003 , the country was truly quadriplegic !
watched this film a few years ago and was so blown away . was glad to find it again and to review it , to see if it was as amazing as i remembered it to be . yes , it is still so powerful , and the people are so ahead of their time . the rest of us are just catching onto sustainable living , usually giving it lip service , and these people fought off conglomerates and governments , and epitomize the essence of sustainable living , which is local innovation and community welfare . people know how to look after themselves , and people know what they want . where was the un ? ? ? where is the un ? ? ? what a big joke ! love the coconut oil . that is the most memorable aspects of it all .
the bva had to be creative , too . they salvaged leftover materials and machine parts from the abandoned mine to make homemade weapons . they literally fought the battle against the pngdf and their advanced weaponry with sticks , stones , and scraps , using slingshot guns and bows and poisonous arrows that the soldiers made themselves . the construction of weaponry also helped build confidence in the force . they eventually gained two - to - three hundred powerful modern weapons from the opposition as they won more and more battles . another tactic the rebels used was the creation of booby - traps that involved planting island herbs on the tracks on which the enemy moved along , when the pngdf soldiers passed by these particular herbs , they would experience allergic reactions far worse than those caused by poison ivy as their testicles and penises would become swollen and painful (
, 1999 ) . although not directly stated , historical literature about panguna mine implies that most of the mineworkers were from the png mainland , not bougainville ( “the bougainville crisis” , 1990 ) .
the papua new guinea army ( pngdf ) were mobilised in an attempt to put down the rebellion . the newly formed bougainville revolutionary army ( bra ) began the fight with bows & arrows , and sticks & stones . against a heavily armed adversary they still managed to retain control of most of their island . realising they were beaten on the ground , the pngdf imposed a gunboat blockade around bougainville , in an attempt to strangle the bra into submission . but the blockade seemed to of had little or no effect .
rtz refused to compensate them , so the people decided it was time to put an end to outside interference in the island ' s affairs . to do this they forcibly closed down the mine .
it appears that the push for the reopening of panguna mine comes primarily from profit - seeking corporations like rtz and from first - world product demands . in the multi - award winning documentary film ,
now that the bougainvillians had closed down the mine themselves and rtz had abandoned it , the bougainville revolutionary army ( bva ) was formed , and it raised the stakes of the conflict , plugging for independence from papua new guinea . the riot police could not handle the rebel uprising , so png’s army , the papua new guinea defense force ( pngdf ) , was sent in . the pngdf blockaded the island and were given shoot - to - kill orders so that bougainville was completely cut off from outside resources like petrol , diesel , food products , medicine , and weaponry . australia , with ex - colonial interests , provided png with helicopters that were soon turned to gunships and trained primarily on the unarmed population of bougainville (
the solution became obvious : we were to partner with the local company . we had a mutual and profound sense that “now is the time , do it ! ” they would provide the local management and we would provide the equipment and training for a project . together we would work with local communities who had already approached us .

how high can lizzo go ? when it comes to the notes she can hit , the 28 - year - old rapper and singer only just found out . while in the studio last year with producer ricky reed ( meghan trainor , jason derulo ) , she tried to impress him by breaking out of her vocal comfort zone . “i used to sing , but i didn’t sang , ” she says . “he was like , ‘what’s your register ? ’ i was like , ‘i don’t know ! ’ he was like , ‘can you sing in this key ? ’” the pair quickly wrote two songs that appear on lizzo’s coconut oil ep , out now : “good as hell , ” a soulful pep talk that was included on april’s barbershop : the next cut soundtrack ; and the brassy opener “worship , ” which features the highest note lizzo has ever sung .
i will also be doing my part to contact the australian government and the papua new guinea government to express both both my anger and outrage at what they are doing both the island and its people .
this story has a happy ending . it sounds like the common decency of people were motivated back in 1997 from around the world to take action against the terrible injustice to these island people . great documentary !

realizing they were beaten on the ground , the pngdf imposed a gunboat blockade around bougainville , in an attempt to strangle the bra into submission . but the blockade seemed to have little or no effect . with no shipments getting in or out of the island , how did new electricity networks spring up in bra held territory ? how were bra troops able to drive around the island without any source of petrol or diesel ?
the islands people had enough of seeing their environment ruined and being treated as pawns by rtz . rtz refused to compensate them , so the people decided it was time to put an end to outside interference in the islands affairs . to do this they forcibly closed down the mine .
for us , this all added up ! we were encouraged ; we were being prodded and prompted . so we booked our tickets . we flew to honiara in february 2004 . the encouragement continued on the flight when i found that i was sitting next to the governor of the si central bank . he is a courageous christian who was under enormous pressure during “the troubles
and had just been reappointed to head the bank . i had an unexpected & amazing 2 hour briefing during the flight !
bcl executive chairman peter taylor told sbs somare’s allegations were baseless , however , former head of the png defence force jerry singarok told the program that rio had a lot of influence over the decision - making process .
we had made prior plans to visit all the main funding agencies ( no names ! ! ) . however , everywhere we turned , we got the same answer :
we have no facility from which to fund income - generating projects .
we had already learnt from the governor of the si central bank that the solomon islands development bank was bankrupt . we found that the commercial banks will not lend outside of honiara .

the world’s largest mining company , britain’s rio tinto zinc ( rtz ) , began developing panguna mine in the 1960s on the island of bougainville , papua new guinea ( png ) . unbeknownst to the indigenous people of bougainville , the mine would grow to be extremely large and destructive . five - hundred and fifty acres of jungle that once served as a hunting ground for locals of the area was cleared for mining by bougainville copper limited ( bcl ) , an australian subsidiary of rtz . meanwhile , the residents of the area were relocated to a makeshift resettlement or “shanty town” , but no financial support was given by the png government or by rtz to help build a school . in 1967 , bcl began excavating what was at the time the biggest open - cast copper mine on earth—nearly five hundred meters deep and covering about seven square kilometers—in the fertile heart of bougainville (

in 1988 , the young land owners association ( ylo ) led by francis ona demanded closure of panguna mine , as well as ten billion dollars in damages . ten billion was more than the mine was worth , and the ylo was granted nothing . shortly after , ona broke into the mine at night and stole fifty kilos of high explosives . he and his rebel friends closed the mine themselves via sabotage . panicking about losing almost half of their export earnings , papua new guinea deployed the riot police , who then stormed bougainville , burning homes down and beating , raping , and murdering civilians . this event only strengthened the resistance , as it enraged the local community and so provided ona’s guerilla force with all the recruits it needed (

arthur simpson points outs that steinbeck himself believed that readers who were offended by his characters missed the point . steinbeck criticized the critics for finding the paisanos
quaint and curious
and seeing them as
a simplistic glorification of the animal side of man ,
which he argues was not at all his intention ( simpson 223 ) . despite steinbeck ' s own defense against charges of racism and stereotyping , certainly in light of the contemporary political and cultural struggle of mexican americans and hispanic immigrants in the united states , it is easy to see why tortilla flat , with its shiftless and drunken mexican - american characters , would come under such scrutiny .
in more recent time s , tortilla flat has been criticized because of steinbeck ' s characterization of the paisanos . critics argue his portrayal of mexican americans is highly inaccurate and the paisanos epitomize racial stereotyping . arthur pettit attacks tortilla flat as
the prototypical anglo novel about the mexican american . the fact that it has spawned relatively few imitators ,
he argues ,
enhances its isolated position while highlighting the fact that the novel contains characters varying little from the most negative mexican stereotypes
( 191 ) . in marked contrast , biographer jackson benson argues to the contrary , calling the novel a
tour de force
( 279 ) . rather than being based on simple racial stereotypy , benson asserts ,
tortilla flat is a folktale peopled by semimythic characters , its effectiveness comes from a strong undercurrent of truth and sympathy
( 364 ) . as a folktale , it enlarges upon authentic characteristics of a locale and people in a very exaggerated and grandiose manner in order to celebrate , rather than demean them .

“do it like an hombre” also pushes a similarly liberal millennial agenda , asking audiences to laugh at the retrograde homophobia of raul ( ochmann ) who cannot believe that his best friend ( mexican actor alfonso dosal ) , who is about to marry his sister ( derbez ) and even plays on the same soccer team , has discovered that he is gay . and if he is gay , it’s raul’s responsibility to cure him .
a paradoxical figure , he was seemingly a revolutionary but was on the wrong side of the mexican revolution . promoted as a protégé by the pre - revolutionary government , he started out as a man and musician of the establishment who regularly came into conflict with the post - revolutionary establishment . he wrote music that sounds today as if it could have come only from mexico , yet he was attacked by a younger generation of composers , led by carlos chávez , for not espousing a party - line nationalist style . carrillo could be shockingly original . he could also be a stylistic sieve .

fensch eloquently sums up the importance of friendship in the novel and concludes that the arthurian parallel plays an important role in elevating danny and the paisanos out of the negative realm of stereotyping and into the celebrated realm of legend and myth :
in short , steinbeck values the arthurian legends and the paisanos too highly to demean either . by adding the language of the paisanos and their convoluted moral code to his novel , he elevates them toward arthurian status , without demeaning them or the tales of the knights that he was so captivated by throughout much of his life
