Question:
Hi guys. I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in doing an experiment. First let me say I am NOT selling coconut oil! You can look back at my posts for eons and I've been trying to find something to help me for a couple years now. Valtrex and Famvir did nothing for me. Anyway, I read that the extra virgin coconut oil destroys the lipid the protects the virus eliminating outbreaks. Someone mentioned argenine content being a concern, but I don't think it's in the oil because that would be a total contridiction to the claim of it "eliminating" herpes.
It also says that it treats Hep C and HIV. I"ve read around on some of the HIV sites and several people are testifying that it has dropped their viral loads to undetectable.
I was having OB"s all the time over the last couple years. One would start to clear up and another would start. I would get horrible stabbing pains when they errupted causing me to cry out in public! I was always itching down there, like a major yeast infection, and had one that came up on my butt that itched horribly. My life was literally a living herpe.
I found out about coconut oil and tried it. Immediately the OB I had cleared up, within a day. I haven't had one since and it's been about 3 months. I'm sure it's from the oil.
I'm so convinced that I'd really love to see if it would help you guys. You have to get it from a specialty health store, or online, and it has to be extra virgin. You can put it in your food just like you would butter.
I hate to read everyone going to such great lengths for relief when I know of something simple and amazing. I'm frustrated that no one seems to pay attention to my posts about this stuff. I really feel like I'm just trying to spread the news. If a few of you would try it then there would be more testiment that it works other than just mine, although I am a really
good one since my herpes was so severe and constant.
Anyone willing to try it? I'll walk you through and usually you can get a bottle under $14. :D

Answer:
Also wanted to say that it's safe to use, and not something fattening or artery clogging like other oils. It's actually supposed to support weight loss and helps other things like clogged arteries, diabetes, and thyroid function. It's more of an eastern oil, used a lot by islanders and asians. They're rate of obesity, heart disease, and disease in general is a lot lower than ours!

Answer:
Hi Layla!
I had followed an earlier post you had about coconut oil. I'm amazed at all the things coconut oil supposedly does. I was a little skeptical at the idea of taking oil. Not that I didn't trust you, but I looked up a number of articles and every one raved about the benefits. I'll definately give it a shot. I've got a pretty bad case of herpes too. I've tried everthing and nothing has helped me including prescriptions, other suppliments, etc. If nothing else at least I'll have improved cholesterol and better digestion from the coconut oil! LOL!
I'll let you know as soon as it arrives, and tell you how it goes.
Very cool that you've had no OB's in 3 months. I hope I have your success! How do I take it? How much should I take?
Thanks!

Answer:
Layla,

I have experimented for months with VCO. I would be curious to see what your stats are as far as height, weight and how much and often/how long you took the VCO. I have taken the recommended dose of 4-5 rounded tablespoons per day for months and did not get any results other than a smooth coat, skin that beads water like a waxed sports car after a summer rain and dropped about 5 pounds. I previously have had obs constantly. Im not doubting that it worked for you or at least helped but I am curious how much you took. I went through about 20 qts. of the extra virgin organic CO over a period of months praying that it could be that simple to get relief but failed. Any insight to the questions??

Answer:
Searching,
I'm a 5'3 female, 125lbs. I usually take 2 Tbs. a day. I do appreciate your response and am disappointed to hear you didn't have luck. Maybe try another brand? The other thing is, since there is no "cure" we just have to see which of these natural products seem to give us the most relief. I know some people have great success with valtrex or lysine, but for me coconut oil is the only thing that has worked.
I'd love to have a few more of you try it so we could see how beneficial it is (or isn't). Of coarse I believe that you have a good chance of having success based on my experience, and there really isn't anything to lose. At least Searching lost weight and had silky hair! :wink:
Damon,
Thanks so much for agreeing to try it! I really hope it works for you like it does for me. From what I've read about what it does to viruses, I'll be surprised to hear many people say it didn't help them. Especially after reading some of the aids forum posters happy with it.
Let me know when you get it!

Answer:
I've been on the VCO for about two weeks now and I don't know yet if it's going to work,I just got over a strange outbreak on my toung,That has never happened to me before. I have HSV2 and I have to say that It was the worsed place I've ever had an outbreak,It would'nt go away and It kept changing locations on my toung and I was so desprate I tried Hydrogen Peroxide from the drug store,It worked so well,I pour It in my mouth and don't swollow it but hold it in there for 10 min at a time 5 times a day and It killed it in 3 days.VCO did nothing for my toung but the Hydrogen Peroxide killed it.

Answer:
Layla,
Got my order of coconut oil today. I'm going to take 3 tablespoons a day as suggested on the bottle.

Answer:
Layla,

Thanks for responding with the info. Im glad you have had sucess and hopefully it continues. I am 6'5" and about 230 so maybe I will try again with an increased dosage. I believe weight/body mass has a lot to do with supplimentation. Could you PM me the brand you used? Thanks!

Answer:
I've been on a coconut oil forum with Yahoo and read some posts that grapefruit seed extract is also a potent anti-viral and good with coconut oil. I think I'm going to try it. I've become very anti-viral...lol!

Damon, how's it going?
