> Chennai: Can coconut oil reduce the viral load of HIV patients? Initial
> trials have confirmed that coconut oil or monolaurin has an anti-viral
> effect that reduces the viral level in HIV-AIDS patients to undetectable
> levels, University of the Philippines,' Emeritus professor of pharmocology
> Conrato S Dayrit said.
> A minimum of 50 ml of coconut oil would contain 20 to 25 grams of lauric
> acid, which indicates that the oil is metabolized in the body to release
> monolaurin which is an antibiotic and an antiviral agent. Among the
> saturated fatty acids, lauric acid has the maximum antiviral activity, he
> said. Based on this research, the first clinical trial using monolaurin as
> monotherapy on some of the HIV patients was conducted recently. Fifteen
> patients were given nearly 50 ml of coconut oil for a period of six
months.
>
> By the end of the first three months of trials viral levels of seven
> patients had gone down and by the sixth month viral counts in the others
had
> gone down substantially, he said. These patients originally had viral
levels
> ranging between 1960 to 1,190,000.
>
> More and more therapies on monolaurins have to be designed and done before
> the definitive role of such coco products can be determined, he said. With
> such products the outlook for more efficacious and cheaper anti HIV
therapy
> will be improved. These monolaurins also have profound use in cosmetics
and
> is now appearing to be effective for dental cares, peptic ulcers, benign
> prostatic hyperplasia, genital herpes, and hepatitis C, said Dayrit.
> According to the Ayurvedic classics, coconut oil, nourishes the body and
> increases strength, Michigan State University professor Emeritius and
> consultant to private industries J Kabara said. The oil was also valued
for
> its antimicrobial properties. Different preparations of this oil promote
> luxurious hair growth and protect the skin from bacterial, protozoal, and
> viral infections. Fresh lauric oil is wholesome to heart and relieves skin
> troubles.
>
> He also clarified that the campaign against coconut oil was baseless as
> coconut oil does not lead to coronary heart disease in human beings. All
> evidences presented earlier were based on the researches done on various
> species of animals which were given coconut oil along with the necessary
> dose of essential fats.
>
> On the contrary, the human epidemiologic evidence proves that coconut oil
is
> safe.
