  In case you can get it where you live, Zeb, I will recommend the brand I use, 
Nui, once known as Kokonut.  Sorry, I think that should be Niulife.  
http://www.kokonutpacific.com.au/

  I have tried two other brands available here in Australia - one actually made 
me vomit (both ends), although I was already used to coconut oil, and the other 
was just not nice to taste, though I was sympathetic to the people who made it 
and their unusually unfortunate history.

  It was just as well I happened to try Nui (then Kokonut) first, as if I had 
tried the other brand first I would never have continued with coconut oil. 

  I have in the past seen a Canadian or USs address on their website, but I 
can't find it now, just a note to say that they are looking for international 
distributors.  http://www.kokonutpacific.com.au/OilSales/OilIndex.html

  I now also buy coconut juice made from young coconuts in a can like a soft 
drink.  It is very pleasant to taste, not sweet like rubbish drinks, and no 
dearer than them.  It comes from Thailand, and has bits of the soft jelly in 
them.  The brand I can get is Chaokoh from Thep Padung Porn Coconut Co. Ltd. 

  I tried to find a website for them, but if they had one it doesn't seem to be 
working now.  But I see there are lots of companies producing the same sort of 
thing.

  Also it is possible to get all sorts of coconut products, "coconut sports in 
syrup" and so on, trouble being that the syrup is very sweet.

    what brand of oil do you use? I have tried several. Havent noticed that it 
helps pain but sure notice that my skin isnt as dry. soomething that I have 
notice helping with knee pain is biosil. I just started using it so I am not 
sure that this is what is really doing it but I plan to keep using it for a 
while. It is supposed to help the bones.
