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.

Liver cleansing is an absolute must if you intend to live a vibrant, healthy life. Body cleansing and liver cleansing are becoming more and more needed due to all of the man-made chemicals that have infiltrated the environment and our food supply.

Our liver is the organ that detoxifies all of the manmade chemicals in our foods and environment. Unfortunately, common diets and lifestyles offer so many of these chemicals, and they enter the body daily, our liver regularly becomes overwhelmed and is therefore unable to detoxify us effectively. This means that these unnatural chemicals end up accumulating in the body and the liver, and this can cause significant damage to the body. In fact, these chemicals (often called toxins) are often the underlying cause of many common health problems.

Many people are shocked by how many common chemicals in everyday foods that are known to cause cancer and other health problems. It’s to your disadvantage to have those chemicals swimming in your body and blood, which is exactly what happens when your liver becomes overburdened. Body and liver cleansing can help you remove those accumulated poisons, so they don’t cause health problems or other damage.

A popular way of liver cleansing is doing coffee enemas. Although using coffee in an enema may sound odd, coffee enemas actually enable your liver to release it’s stored toxins into the colon for immediate removal, and because you’re doing an enema, those toxins are quickly flushed from the body and down the drain.

Many people experience immediate improvements in health and well being with coffee enemas, and they are commonly used in alternative health and cancer healing facilities around the world. The fact that coffee enemas are so successful in extreme cases of sickness is a testament to the importance of our liver, and how important it is in creating either health or sickness.

When we understand this, perhaps we’ll start to take better care to minimize the numbers and amounts of chemicals we put into our bodies that damage our liver to actually prevent this toxin accumulation. But for now, be thankful that nature has provided a simply way to remove all those chemicals from your body.

If you really want to clean your body out, in addition to doing colon and liver cleansing, you might also want to consider a gallbladder cleanse. A gallbladder cleanse often involves drinking solutions of Epsom salts and lemon juice and olive oil, and this removes gallstones from your gallbladder. In addition to other benefits, cleansing your gallbladder often offers insomnia help.
