Good morning everybody. Maybe you will wonder how virgin coconut oil be the solution for the common-sense. Others may not believe on that.
The World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide disease alert to phase 5—a strong signal that a pandemic or a worldwide epidemic was imminent. Countries such as the United States and Mexico have set up extensive measures to control the spread of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus.
Already, a public health emergency has been declared in the US and many countries. There have been measures to produce the prescription anti-viral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir. And the world’s medical scientists are urgently working on a new vaccine against the virus, but this mission could take five to six months.
Common sense
In the meantime, what else is to be done besides waiting? There is no known drug today that can effectively combat the swine flu virus. Anti-viral drugs are expensive, not everyone can afford them. There is not enough supply of these drugs.
Simple as it may seem, there is a food supplement that can quickly boost the immune system—virgin coconut oil (VCO). There are scientific studies validating that the major component of VCO, lauric acid, is an effective anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal compound. A natural derivative of lauric acid, monolaurin, has been shown to be a potent disease fighter.
Coconut oil is made up of 60-percent medium-chain triglycerides, which is an efficient source of energy for the body. This non-fattening oil is converted by the liver into energy (and not fat) within 20 minutes of ingesting it.
While there is no direct proof of VCO’s effectiveness against the A(H1N1) virus, there is, however, evidence of its success against regular influenza, cold, bronchitis, chronic fatigue, etc.
There is more to virgin coconut oil than meets the eye or stimulates the palate. Countless testimonials of users from across generations support several health claims: –Cory Quirino
