Re: Cocunut Oil Update
Thank you for your update. It is nice for someone new to this forum to see that not only is an idea put forth, but follow through is there, too.
I have "lurked" for a long time on this site and learned much! I immediately went to the net when I contracted H2, and chose Monolaurin to combat the virus. Unfortunately, it didn't help me at all. I did put coconut oil on the outbreak and it helped the pain. I have now tried everything out there and finally have settled on BHT and L-G, along with an ointment made with coconut oil and BHT. I am healing well and not getting new outbreaks. This is a first in two years. Even Valtrex quit working, so I had to try something new. When Valtrex worked, I was clear. Off of Valtrex and when it finally stopped working, I was in constant outbreak.
The reason I am replying to this post with my info is that BHT works the same way as the monolaurin in coconut oil. It destroys the lipid barrier so that the virus can be destroyed. I was already taking L-G (
Hulda Clark concoction) and experiencing improvement, and then added the BHT. For me, the monolaurin did nothing, which totally surprised me. You mentioned that perhaps for some it doesn't work due to how the body metabolizes the coconut oil. I have usually been one of those who can take a supplement and have it react like I never took it, so perhaps that is the problem. Thanks for the insight.
I will also add that I have added a metaphysical approach to all of this, which is simply expecting that my body can cure itself and getting out of the way and not sending it all kinds of negative input. I realized I was angry at my body for having the virus. Now I send it love and kindness and support for its work to cure itself. That also seemed to have a dramatic impact!
I heard on the movie "The Secret" which covers people who use their attitudes for many wonderful things, including healing cancer, that incurable really means....."in curable". I like that! I do not believe there is anything that lacks a cure, just that we have yet to discover our method to the cure. And frankly, I do not believe that there is any dis-ease state that our bodies cannot overcome given the correct external (treatments that help lessen the load) and internal (our thoughts and therefore our very vibrations in every cell)environment. If you are interested, you can find "The Secret" online and can view it once for $6 or purchase the DVD. Most of those who are interviewed in that movie are published authors with books that deal with how to accomplish this. I had read some of the authors' works the cases in the movie come from. It is quite positive on all fronts.
