Here’s mention of virgin coconut oil
Still on home cure, reader Manuel Q. Quimpo Jr. of Quezon City tells us of the uses of virgin coconut oil, another popular remedy for a host of health (and beauty) concerns.
This is not an endorsement. We’re just sharing his experience in this time of COVID-19 and the prohibitive cost of medical care and medicines. The government should act seriously on these public health problems.

he risk of being accused of peddling unproven cures without scientific validation or approval by the Food and Drug Administration, we run his email (edited to fit) as a sample of how people look for inexpensive yet effective home remedy:
“You must know VCO – virgin coconut oil. It can save Filipinos from COVID-19 infections, and death.
“I’m a regular VCO user, a 67-year-old retired engineer who has been using VCO since 2006. During my son’s battle against stage-4 cancer, T-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, I protected his lungs with 12 tbsp daily of VCO midway during his chemo days and post-treatment at the Philippine General Hospital.

“After five years, until now, he has been cleared (as shown in his yearly CT scan). He has a healthy seven-month-old daughter now. Surprised to be fertile after the chemo and radiation treatment. He married last May 2019.
“At three months, I put 2-3 drops of VCO directly to my apo’s infected right eye (every hour for three hours) to cure her pagmumuta. Infection cleared after three hours.
“Same with her face blisters, which were cleared after five days of continuous application. I now regularly apply VCO to her skin for insect bites, scratches, etc., avoiding synthetic doctor-prescribed medicines, especially steroids.
“For my COVID-19 protection when going out, I take 1 tbsp VCO, gargle then swallow, sniff 2-3 drops per nostril before going daily (3-4 times) to the market, grocery store, supermarts, S&R, etc.
“I take 3-4 tbsp 3x daily to cure any trankaso (flu) or hard-cough phlegm problems. These are usually cured in five days. I don’t take antibiotics or other medicines, except Fern C Vitamin C.
“I give VCO, a ‘pharmacy in a bottle,’ to friends and to poor and needy people complaining of various ailments. I’m happy to get feedback that they get cured.”

Now on a different note. Let's talk about Staphylococcus and Urinary Tract Infection
Staph.

For UTI
Coconut oil has significant antibacterial properties, primarily due to its high content of lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) that can disrupt and dissolve bacterial cell membranes, effectively fighting harmful microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and even Streptococcus mutans. It acts as a natural antimicrobial, supporting skin health, wound healing, and fighting various infections by inhibiting bacterial growth.
Key Components & How They Work:
Lauric Acid (C12): Makes up nearly half of coconut oil's fatty acids; it's converted to monolaurin in the body, which can destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi by breaking down their protective layers.
Capric Acid (C10) & Caprylic Acid (C8): These also contribute to the oil's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, though less potently than lauric acid.
Proven Antibacterial Actions:
Skin Conditions: Effective against acne-causing bacteria, athlete's foot, and cellulitis.
Oral Health: Shows promise in reducing Streptococcus mutans, the bacteria behind tooth decay, acting similarly to chlorhexidine mouthwash.
Wound Healing: Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties help speed up skin repair and prevent infection.
Gut Health: Can inhibit Clostridium difficile (C. difficile), a bacterium that causes food poisoning and ulcers, by disrupting its cell membrane.
In Summary:
Coconut oil's ability to kill bacteria stems from its unique fatty acid profile, making it a valuable natural agent for supporting hygiene, immunity, and skin health, with research supporting its use against many common pathogens.
