How Coconut Oil Benefits Your Health
"For thousands of years, both Ayurvedic and Indian folkloric medicine have used coconut oil as a traditional remedy for almost all illnesses.
Gradually, modern medical science discovers that coconut oil can actually protect against heart disease (yes, contrary to what we're led to believe), diabetes, cancers, liver and kidney diseases, osteoporosis, dental decay and skin infections. It also relieves symptoms associated with illnesses like pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis (difficulty in breathing and absorbing nutrients), chronic inflammation, prostate enlargement, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers, constipation, psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis.
Coconut oil continues to "show off" its awesome health benefits and astonish doctors by its powerful ability to kill viruses (e.g. influenza — aka flu, hepatitis C, herpes, measles), bacteria (e.g. pneumonia, urinary tract infection), fungi and yeast (e.g. candida, ringworm, thrush), which are otherwise resistant to drugs and antibiotics.
Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds, right now some doctors are including coconut oil in their treatments against the world's most deadly incurable terminator — HIV / AIDS. The super antimicrobes in coconut oil can rip the HIV viruses apart and kill them on the spot.
According to a first clinical study on the effectiveness of coconut oil against HIV virus carried out in 2000 by Cornrado Dayrit, M.D., emeritus professor of pharmacology at the University of the Philippines and former president of the National Academy of Science and Technology in the Philippines, 9 out of 14 HIV patients after six months of treatment with using the antimicrobial acids found only in coconut oil had a decreased viral load (the number of viruses in the blood).
In 1996, an AIDS patient Chris Dafoe of Cloverdale, Indiana, having a HIV viral load of 600,000 copies — an indication of rampant HIV infection, after eating cooked coconut for breakfast every day, had his viral load plummeted all the way down to undetectable levels. Instead of dying soon he suddenly regained his life. Incredible!
You might wonder, if coconut oil or coconut-based food is so effective against HIV / AIDS, then why isn't it being widely used as treatment today?
It's the money issue again.
Because of coconut oil's low cost and ready availability worldwide, pharmaceutical companies won't be able to protect their coconut oil based drugs with a patent. Hence they can't charge exorbitantly and reap enormous profits. That's why they don't see the rewards in funding the research for the use of coconut oil in fighting HIV.
Perhaps you're still skeptical about the potential and health benefits of coconut oil until you understand the underlying mechanisms that make coconut oil almost so invincible."
(To be explored in part II)
Just the few health benefits of coconut oil listed here are enough to amaze most people. Some may even seem to good to believe, which is why additional research is suggested for skeptical readers, and non-skeptical alike.
As the article touches on towards the end, the pharmaceutical companies and other interests don't want people knowing that many of the oils, herbs, fruits, plants, seeds, nuts, flowers, leaves, roots, stems and vegetables Mother Nature provides are well able to help with and cure quite a number of conditions and illnesses.
The pharmaceutical companies would take a hit to profits if scientific research was widely funded that made these facts public. Even as such scientific research has been undergone by others not linked to said money interests, the fact remains that most people won't ever know about the healing properties of nature's provisions due to all of the media outlets that are controlled or massively influenced by these same money interests.
As such, it is vital that people research information for themselves about ways to improve their health, and not rely on commercials, ads, and mainstream media that are driven by profits without concern for the health of people.
