Wonders of coconut! FILIPINO SCIENTIST SAYS VCO PROTECTS PEOPLE FROM NCOV

Healing Miracles of the

Virgin Coconut Oil

By Dr. Conrado Dayrit, PhD

Why is VCO being considered as a nutriceutical substance? Aside from the instant energy that it provides to the human body, it also have some medicinal properties. It was found out that the medium chain (C 8 – C12) fats in coconut oil is similar to the fats in mother’s milk that gives babies immunity from diseases and have similar effects.

What are the distinguishing characteristics of coconut oil?

* High percentage of lauric ( C12 ) fatty acid, ranging from 48 – 53 % depending on the coconut variety.

* High percentage of medium chain fatty acids ( C 6 – C12 ), generally about 64 %

What is the importance of Medium Chain Fatty Acids and Lauric Fatty Acid?

* Since 1984 , increasing number of literatures are appearing regarding the antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal and antiprotozoal properties of Medium Chain Fatty Acids ( C8, C10, C12) with lauric acid (C12) and its monoglyceride form, monolaurin being mentioned as the most potent against lipid coated microorganisms which are not normally cured by ordinary antibiotics. Studies have also shown that MCFA is directly converted into energy at the liver and increases the metabolic rate of an individual. This in turn promotes weight loss and reduces the deposit of fats in the body.

According to Prof. Jon Kabara who pioneered research on monolaurin. Monolaurin, as a dietary supplement has shown very good results as an antibiotic and antiviral agent particularly in its potency against lipid-coated/enveloped viruses. It does not cause resistance organism to appear and was also shown that it can reduce the resistance of germs to antibiotics. When coconut oil is consumed, the body makes the disease fighting monolaurin.

Also according to Dr Mary Enig a noted nutrinional biochemist. Recently published research has shown that natural coconut fat in the diet leads to a normalization of body lipids, protects against alcohol damage to the liver and improves the immune system’s anti-inflammatory response.

The antimicrobial fatty acids and their derivatives are essentially nontoxic to man and they are produced in vivo by humans when they ingest those commonly available foods that contain adequate levels of medium chain fatty acids like coconut oil The medicinal properties of lauric acid and monolaurin have been recognized by small number of researches for nearly four decades and this knowledge has resulted in more than 20 research papers and several U.S. patents.

LIPID is the medical term for fats. Lipid coated microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria have an envelope of fats covering its basic life structure called nucleotides (DNA and RNA). This is the reason why ordinary antibiotics could not easily penetrate and kill this type of microorganisms.

However, several researchers have reported that MCFA particularly lauric fatty acids which is predominatly present in coconut oil can penetrate and dissolve the said lipid coating.

ache, rheumatic fever, dental cavities

• Staphylococcus – staph infection, food poisoning, urinary

tract infections, toxic shock syndrome

• Neisseria – meningitis, gonorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease

• Chlamydia – genital infections, lymphogranuloma venereum, conjumctivitis, parrot fever, pneumonia, periodontitis

• Helicobacter pylori – stomach ulcers

• Gram positive organisms – anthrax, gastroenteritis, botulism, tetanus

According to Dr. Conrado Dayrit, the coronavirus which has been identified as the virus causing the SARS is also lipid coated which means that lauric fatty acid and monolaurin could possibly have an inactivating effect on it.

The pathogenic organisms causing influenza and pneumonia are both part of the list of lipid-coated viruses and bacteria which are found to be inactivated by lauric fatty acid and monolaurin which in turn is derived by the human body from coconut oil It should be noted that the symptoms being exhibited by SARS infected patients are similar to symptoms of pneumonia and influenza.

THEREFORE, by inductive reasoning, it can be said that lauric fatty acid and monolaurin which are derived by the body from coconut oil can be a POTENTIAL CURE.

What is the recommended daily dosage of VCO to obtain health benefits from it?

* Maximum 50 ml or 3.5 Tbsp. of virgin coconut oil equivalent to 21 g lauric fatty acid or

Eating the meat of one half mature coconut or

Eating 66 grams desiccated coconut.

Are there side effects in taking VCO ?

* Yes, there could be especially if your body is not accustomed to high fat in the diet and if you are taking it for the first time.

The most common side reaction is LBM or diarrhea.

However, this type of diarrhea is not accompanied by stomach pain or stomach spasms unlike the usual diarrhea that is caused by toxins or food poisoning. You will just have a liquid bowel movement which is in a way could be considered as removing toxins from your intestines. So for first timers, do not start with the full 3 tablespoons dose. Instead, start with one tablespoon for a few days and gradually increase the intake as your body becomes acclimatized to it until you reach the full dose.

You can also take it in divided doses at different

times of the day instead of taking at one time the full 3 ½

tablespoons full dose.

What is the best time of the day to take VCO ?

* If you want to use it for controlling weight,

take it 30 minutes before lunch and dinner

If you are using it as treatment for

constipation, take it before bedtime

If you just want to boost your immune system,

take it anytime of the day in a single or divided

doses.
