Coconut Oil Kills HIV?
Dec. 11. 2000 - Here we have strong evidence from two entirely independent research groups which have found that lauric acid - a common biological compound in coconuts, as well as in mother's milk - kills the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) .

Can coconut oil reduce the viral load of HIV-AIDS patients? "Initial trials have confirmed that coconut oil does have an anti-viral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients", University of the Philippines' Emeritus professor of pharmocology Dr. Conrato S. Dayrit said.
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 anti-viral agent. Among the saturated fatty acids, lauric acid has the maximum anti-viral 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."

I have been diagnosed with AIDS. I knew for a long time that I was sick but was in denial. The evidence of my sickness happened when I was getting boils daily. When the body would fight one infection another would appear. I had trouble maintaining my weight.
I was in constant pain from infections. My skin was losing color. I was becoming pale. I had severe acne. The HIV virus practically stopped my body from healing. I would bleed easily. I was tired all the time. I had to drink a lot of coffee and take vitamins just to feel normal. Then my body told me that my end was near.
My uncle took HIV drugs and they did not help him at all. I think the HIV drugs he took helped him die faster. I was not going to help the pharmaceutical companies get rich, and I was not going to a HIV doctor that was going to tell me that there is no hope for me.
I read an article about a Filipino teenager or young man that had AIDS and could not afford HIV drugs. The Filipino doctor told him to take coconut oil. The young man’s health improved over time and his viral load is dropping.
Success Story.
I tried it. I have taken the coconut oil since August of 2009 and in the month of November of 2009 I no longer have daily infections and my skin has cleared up significantly. My skin color is returning back to normal. I don’t need to take two hour naps anymore.
I found out that castor oil complements coconut oil. I take 6 teaspoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of castor oil twice a day. The castor oil seems to boost the coconut oil’s ability to fight viruses. I thank God for the Internet, if it wasn't for this website and the Internet I would be dead. Doctors don't practice medicine, they practice drugs. I want to add red palm oil to my regimen to see if my health will improve at a greater rate. I believe that coconut oil, castor oil, and maybe palm oil will complement each other. My theory is that coconut oil destroys viruses floating in the blood stream. Castor oil stops the viruses from copying in infected cells. Palm oil has carotene and other anti-free radical chemicals. That is why I believe that these three oils will accelerate the healing process of sick people.

Scientists in the Philippines researched the effects of coconut oil and lauric acid on patients with the HIV virus that causes Aids.
The results were amazing. Most of the Aids patients showed a dramatic drop in the HIV virus count, in some cases to “undetectable” levels.
While there needs to be a lot more research, there is certainly evidence to suggest that people with this virus would benefit from having a diet rich in coconut.
Coconut oil, like human breast milk, is rich in lauric acid, which boosts immunity and destroys harmful bacteria and viruses. In fact, coconut oil is one of the closest foods on the planet to breast milk.
Lipid researcher Dr. Jon Kabara says “Never before in the history of man is it so important to emphasize the value of Lauric Oils.”

COCONUT OIL IN HEALTH AND DISEASE: ITS AND MONOLAURIN’S
POTENTIAL AS CURE FOR HIV/AIDS*

ABSTRACT
The coconut is called the tree of life for it has been providing us, humans, food and drink,
materials for housing, fuel and many industrial uses. And its medicinal uses are many and varied.
The latest medical potential of products of the coconut first identified by Jon Kabara and others in
the 70s, is the anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal activity of its medium chain fatty acids,
particularly lauric acid (C12:0) in its monoglyceride form (monolaurin or ML).
The first clinical trial ever of ML was on 15 HIV-infected patients reporting regularly at the San
Lazaro Hospital, Manila who, never having received any anti-HIV medication, were randomly
assigned to 3 treatment groups: 7.2 g ML, 2.4 g ML and 50 ML of coconut oil daily for 6 months.
The San Lazaro Hospital Team was led by Eric Tayag.
Viral, CD4 and CDS counts, complete blood counts, blood lipids and tests for liver and kidney
functions were done at the beginning of the study and after 3 and 6 months of treatment. In one
patient, the viral load was too low to count.
By the 3rd month, 7 of the patients (50%) showed reduced viral load and by the 6th month 8
patients (2 receiving 7.2h ML, 4 receiving 2.4 g ML and 3 receiving, coconut oil had a lowered viral
count. The CD4/CD8 counts showed a favorable increase in 5 patients. There were no serious side
effects observed.
Three patients developed AIDS on 3rd month of therapy when their CD4 count dropped below
200. One of these three, who was in the coconut oil group. died 2 weeks after the study. The two other AIDS patients were in the 2.4 g ML group; one recovered fully on the 6th month and the other showed a rapid return towards normal CD4 and CD8 counts.
