You may have heard that coconut oil is one of the hottest oils on the market – it’s with very good reason. Coconut oil delicious and its health benefits are profound – in fact each day the tremendous health benefits are becoming more widely known. Coconut oil been found to be a natural antibacterial, antiviral, and even anti-fungal agent. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are powerhouses; they’ve been found to be effective against disease of all sorts, including the all too common heart disease and cancer.

Coconut oil also has unique properties that speed the metabolism and make it easier for those with weight to lose, lose weight. Coconut oil is simple to add to most any meal, and doing so is also detoxifying and can help you cleanse your body. In fact, coconut oil can replace most oils used in cooking, and it a wonderful butter substitute.

Coconut oil once had a bad reputation as an unhealthy saturated fat, but research regularly proves that wrong. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut were confused with the truly bad long chain fatty acids in animal products, and that is where the confusion arose. Fortunately, as more and more natural health experts promote the benefits of coconut oil, the correct information is reaching the public.

Besides being a delicious addition to many meals, coconut oil is an effective skin cleanser and skin moisturizer. Coconut oil has highly moisturizing properties that repair the skin and even prevent premature aging and wrinkling, without what can be dangerous man-made chemicals. And although it’s light and easily absorbed, coconut oil also forms a protective barrier on the skin which serves to keep harmful bacteria out of your body.  

Knowing this, don’t you think coconut oil is good addition to your family’s daily diet? You’d be surprised at what a couple of tablespoons a day can do. You might even try using it as your daily moisturizer for added protection in our disease ridden world.

For a powerful natural antiviral, nothing beats coconut oil. Coconut oil is a natural antiviral that has been shown to be effective against many different bacteria and viruses, including ones that baffle modern medicine, like AIDS. Coconut oil has unique germ killing properties called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs); these fatty acids are quite similar to the “skin” or outer casing of many common bacteria and viruses.

Because medium chain fatty acids are similar to the skins of many bacteria and viruses, these harmful pathogens mistake the fatty acids for one of their own – and let them inside, through the protective barrier.

Once inside however, the pathogens find that the molecules of these medium chain fatty acids are smaller than the molecules of their own skin. This actually begins to break down and disintegrate the already “leaky” outer casing or “skin” of the pathogen. Without their outer casing, the pathogen’s insides spill out and this immediately kills the pathogen. All without harming a single human cell.

Precisely because of coconut oil’s powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, the oil is often used in different types of body cleansing.

Body cleansing is a way to remove common bacteria, viruses, and even chemical contamination from the body. Body cleansing often also involves doing a colon cleansing and a liver cleanse. Many experts say that it’s this accumulation of toxins inside the body that is the underlying cause of common health problems. Actually, it’s common to remove health problems by deeply cleansing the body.

Coconut oil is a powerful accompaniment to deep body cleansing because by colon and liver cleansing, you’re quickly removing enormous amounts of waste from the body. In fact, after you kill viruses and bacteria in your body with coconut oil, colon and liver cleansing are very effective ways to quickly show those now broken up pathogen innards to the outside of your body.
