I once heard that virgin coconut oil, which has anti-viral properties, could be a possible cure for AIDS. I spoke to a VCO producer here in the Philippines who said the Health Secretary -- a doctor -- had sought his help to donate VCO to a person infected with AIDS. When he took VCO, the patient reported feeling immensely better, but unfortunately, his condition was far too advanced to be cured, and he ended up dying months later.

You think VCO, with the growing number of studies, could be a possible answer to AIDS?

Well they did once --- from 2001:

"Initial trials have confirmed that coconut oil does have an anti-viral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients", says Dr. Conrato S. Dayrit, Emeritus Professor of Pharmacology, University of the Philippines.

For full and complete information on research, recent publications, HIV/AIDS clinical trials, HIV/AIDS support protocols visit www.lauric.org

"A minimum of 50 ml of coconut oil would contain 20 to 25 grams of lauric acid, which indicates that the oil is metabolized in the body to release monolaurin which is an antibiotic and an antiviral agent. Among the saturated fatty acids, lauric acid has the maximum antiviral activity, he said. Based on this research, the first clinical trial using monolaurin as monotherapy on some of the HIV patients was conducted recently. Dr. Dayrit's conclusions after the study: "This initial trial confirmed the anecdotal reports that coconut oil does have an anti-viral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients. The positive anti-viral action was seen not only with the monoglyceride of lauric acid but with coconut oil itself. This indicates that coconut oil is metabolized to monoglyceride forms of C-8, C-10, C- 12 to which it must owe its anti-pathogenic activity."

What about now? Did this go anywhere?
