#1 Secret to Healing a Scar Your Doctor Wont Tell You

Dr. Lupo put both hands around my neck and leaned in close, “What are you doing?” He repeated over and over again while examining the scar. He pushed on it with his fingers, pressing and pulling my skin. It had been gnarly The kind you’d see on Frankenstein’s daughter. My neck had been carved up twice before – once when they found Hodgkins forty years ago, and at age 21 when I had Thyroid cancer. Dr Lupo’s blade cut through both original scars, and continued all the way up to my right ear. I was surprised at his reaction. I thought everyone knew. Coconut oil. Today that scar is so thin and fine, it is hard to see, unless I have a tan. That was 2010.

 Extra Virgin Olive Oil is your best friend!

The Doc has just removed your staples or stitches. You look at the mirror in horror. Tears swell up in your eyes Your neck, hand, stomach, foot, leg, whatever, looks grotesque. Halloween is over, but you feel like the monster that makes others cringe. Staring back at you must be the biggest, ugliest, damn scar you’ve ever seen up close and personal.

Slather Coconut oil all over that scar.

The secret is to do this daily, several times if you can remember. I have a graft on my right arm that gets hammered from dialysis five times a week. My doctor is always surprised when she see’s how great it looks. I remind her every month. Coconut oil.
