Virgin Coconut Oil: How it has changed people’s lives, and how it can change yours!! is the most practical book written on the health benefits of coconut oil. Based on years of research and the experience of Brian Shilhavy, this book documents how tropical cultures eating a diet high in the saturated fat of coconut oil enjoy long healthy lives. It also shows how a premium Virgin Coconut Oil has changed thousands of lives outside the tropics.

I absolutely love your book! Several pages into your stories I was so captivated I couldn’t put it down. I have been using Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil and your other products almost exclusively in cooking and exclusively on my skin since 2000, and I have been your cheerleader since that time. From my own experience and research and from the testimonials of the many people to whom I have recommended it, I have no doubt that you are the leading suppliers of the finest, purest Virgin Coconut Oil products in the world. Now, your excellent book will assist all who wonder about its value to share your wisdom and the positive experiences of many people. God bless you both for your tireless service in providing and explaining this ancient health food, which brings so many benefits.
