Must read this book!By ILHK MN on January 5, 2008
I did not know that coconut oil helps fight viral and fungal infections; when I received the book, my skin had recently healed from ringworm, and I was suffering from a mild yeast infection. I purchased capryl acid, one of the beneficial elements of coconut oil, and within days the infection was gone. Coconut oil is AMAZING for dry skin, just as mentioned in the book. I developed a skin irritation due to dry skin, and my doctor prescribed mometasone. I applied for several days, with no relief from itching and the rash got slightly worse. I decided to use coconut oil and within 4 days it had already disipated and the itching was completely gone. I only applied coconut oil before going to bed, and even still it helped. I also started using it for my chapped hands (I live in cold MN!) and within two days they were no longer chapped. Works well as a lip balm as well.
Capril acid is great for viral infections. One day over the holidays I woke up with a sore throat and the familiar “I am getting a cold” feeling. I had been taking capril acid for the yeast infection I mention above, and my illness did not develop into a cold. In fact, by the end of the day my sore throat was gone. I am convinced the capril acid warded it off.
