Studies show that coconut oil is a strong enemy of HIV. Filipino scientists and Canadian studies have found that isolated chemical principles found in coconut oil can not only destroy the HIV (AIDS), but also inhibit the development of viruses and viral load. By Frank Cimatu Inquirer News Service PDI Northern Luzon Bureau City of Baguio Philippine Foundation for Research and development of the coconut along with the Saint Lazarus Hospital and United Laboratories, in 1999 conducted the first tests of HIV / AIDS made in the Philippines. The tests involved 15 patients of the Hospital St. Lazarus with HIV in the early stages of development of the virus. The tests basically tried to determine whether the monolaurin, a derivative of lauric acid was responsible for the increase of CD4 cells and viral load reduction in patients at a stage not yet detectable. The CD4 cells are the forefront of defending the body against diseases and infections, but are also the first to be attacked by HIV.Viral load is the amount of virus in the blood. Dr. Conrado Dayrit, President of the National Academy of Sciences and Technology and member of the Council PCRDF, in the previous statement, said that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is surrounded by a fatty membrane that mono-and maim laurina can penetrate rapidly after ingestion. The Monolaurin destroys the membrane surrounding the virus through a softening process. “If this happens, the virus dies,” said Dr. Dayrit. Romulo Conde, PCRDF Technical Advisor, said the results were promising, but in order to satisfy the scientific community, need more concrete conclusions. It is not good to draw conclusions by half, he added. He said the tests will continue next year.According to the November edition of “Hard-see” magazine, a group of Canadian scientists have developed what they called “invisible condom”, which is nothing more than an anti-gelatin microbial acting on HIV prevention. The team led by Dr. Michael Bergeron said the gel, colorless and odorless, it is not a preventative for pregnancy, but can block the AIDS virus and other sexually transmitted diseases. “The preparation of Dr. Bergeron, who he calls a” condom Invisible “consists of two component parts. The first is a gelatinous polymer that is liquid at room temperature, but becomes a gel when the body temperature. When introduced, the liquid spreads across the vaginal wall, making it in a gelatin and then creating a semi-solid barrier against infectious agents, “reported Discover Maga-zine. The second ingredient is an anti-germ such as sodium lauryl sulfate, a soapy substance that dissolves the membranes of viruses, removing them. The sodium lauryl sulfate is a chemical derivative of lauric acid and breast milk, known as an eliminator microbes. Gelatin, when tested in rats was 90 to 100 percent effective in eliminating the virus of genital herpes. In another article published in “Indian Coconut Journal” in September 1995, Dr. Enig stated: “The recognition of anti-microbial activity of monolaurin has been registered since 1966. The seminal work can be credited to Jon Kabara. This previous research was directed to the effects virucidais because of possible problems related to the preservation of food. Some of the old work Hierholzer and Kabara (1982), showing the effects of monolaurin on virucidais viruses involved in volved in RNA and DNA were prepared in con-with the Center for Disease Control of the U.S. Public Health Service, with proto-types selected or recognized as involved in volved in lipid membranes and highly rigid. “ Enig stated in her article that Monolaurin, whose precursor is lauric acid, destroys the lipid membrane surrounding the virus and inactivates bacteria, yeasts and fungi. She wrote: “Of the saturated fatty acid, lauric acid has greater antiviral activity than caprylic acid (C10) and myristic (C14). monolauril The action assigned to it is that solubilizes the lipids contained in envelope of the virus, causing the destruction of that envelope. “ In India, coconut oil is administered to calves to treat Cryptosporidium as reported by Lark Lands Ph.D. in her book to be released, “Positively Well”.Although it was not mentioned by Enig, HHV-6A is a virus that has a hood whose environment is expected to disintegrate in the presence of lauric acid and / or Manolaurina. According to Enig, HIV, measles, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1), Visna, Cytomega-citomegalovirus (CMV), influenza virus, Pneumonovirus, Syncytial virus and Rubeola are some of the diseases that their activities are inhibited by monolaurin. Some bacteria, including Listeria, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococci of Groups A, B, F and G, Gran-positive organisms and Gran-negative became inactive by the action of monolaurin. text coconut oil AIDS AND THE NATURAL IN OTHER VIRAL INFECTIONS On July 19, 1995 Dr. Enig talked to an article published in the newspaper “The Hindu”, the national newspaper of India when he said that coconut oil is converted by the body into “Monolaurin”, an acid fatty acid with anti-viral properties, which can be useful in treating AIDS. A reporter from “THE HINDU” wrote the following about the presentation Dr. Enig during a conference in Kochi:“There was a time in the United States proved that a child diagnosed positive became HIV negative. This child had been fed a formula high in coconut oil. The experience was significant and efforts are directed toward finding the causes of the reduction in viral load of children with HIV when fed a diet that helps in the generation of Monolaurin in the body. “ The reporter also notes the observation made by Dr. Enig of the monolaurin also helps in inhibition of other viruses such as measles, herpes, vesicular stomatitis and Cytomegalovirus and that of the advanced research, there is also an indication that coconut oil offers certain protection measures against carcinogens.
