HIV treatment with coconut oil
The first clinical trial on HIV treatment with coconut oil and monolaurin was done in 1998 on fifteen HIV-infected individuals. The study was done under by San Lazaro Hospital team headed by Dr. Eric Tayag and funded by the Philippine Coconut Research and Development Foundation. The results were reported at the XXXVII Coco Tech Meeting in Chennai India in July 2000
This initial trail confirmed the anecdotal reports that coconut oil does have an antiviral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients. The positive antiviral action was seen not only with the monoglyceride of lauric acid but with coconut itself. This indicates that coconut oil must be metabolized to monoglyceride or free forms of C8, C10, C12 and C14 to which it must owe its anti-pathogenic activity.
