Welcome to the Coconut Diet forums!
(Formerly the Coconut-info discussion group on Yahoo)

Since this is a very busy and large community, there are several guidelines that we have to implement to manage a discussion forum of this size, so that we can accomplish our goal, which is to educate the world on the wonderful health benefits of coconut oil.

The Coconut Diet Forums is linked to volumes of wonderful information on coconut oil, the most extensive collection of information available anywhere on the Internet on this topic, and it is provided to you free of charge by Mt. Banahaw Health Products Corp. in the Philippines. We request that you in turn agree to abide by the following guidelines in using these forums.

GUIDELINES

Privacy. We respect your privacy and as such no one's email address will be revealed in any of the forums. With tens of thousands of participants in the forums, many will join with their own agendas and try to solicit or collect email addresses. That will NOT be possible in the Coconut Diet forums. We also guarantee that we will not give away, sell, or use your email address and personal information outside of this forum. You will always have the option to stop receiving any forum messages or other communication from us at any time.

Moderation. The forums are 100% moderated, meaning all messages must be reviewed and approved before appearing in one of the forum topics.

The following messages submitted for posting will generally be rejected:

Advertisements or promotions of personal agendas or other websites and products.

Criticisms or comments of coconut products. We don't publicly criticize those who produce and market coconut products, and we're not interested in funding this forum for such criticisms.

Arguments and debates. There is a fine line between those who are asking genuine questions about the mainstream dietary advice regarding fats and oils, and those who simply want to debate and promote their agenda, and the decision to allow or not allow a post in this regard will rest with the moderators.

Messages asking questions which are covered in the online articles or in the archives, will be directed to look at those sources and not reach the Forums. Please check and see if your question or topic has already been discussed or covered on our websites. There are 5 years of archives currently available to search through.

Virus warnings.

Anything deemed offtopic and not contributing to the goal of these Forums.

Long case histories of people's illnesses and asking for medical advice, or if one should stop taking medications. We are not doctors, and coconut oil is a food, not a medicine. Everything posted on the forums is someone's opinion, and nothing is to be taken as medical advice.

Unfortunately, we will not always have time to inform people why their post didn't make it to the forums. Most of the time messages are not accepted because the answer is already on our websites, or because they failed to follow these guidelines.

It is certainly not our desire to be so strict on these forums: we would rather that this was a completely open and unmoderated forum. But that is not possible with a community this size, and there is no other choice except to stop the forums altogether or start charging an access fee. When you give the public free access to a community of tens of thousands of members, people will naturally want to take advantage of this free access at our expense. Currently the only way to post messages in the forums is via the website. However, you can change your preferences to have all messages posted to the forums delivered to you via email. You just won't be able to respond to those messages via email.

All messages posted to the forums and archived are copyrighted by Mt. Banahaw Health Products Corp. with all rights reserved. You cannot copy any messages other than your own without the approval of Mt. Banahaw Health Products Crop.

Sincerely,
Brian and Marianita Shilhavy
