Coconut oil - the nemesis of cancer cells

According to researchers at the University of Adelaide (USA), lauric acid makes up about 50% of coconut oil and can destroy more than 90% of colon cancer cells after just two days of treatment.

According to the American Cancer Society, there will be 95,270 cases of colon cancer diagnosed in the United States this year. Most patients are treated with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, all of which come with significant side effects. Scientists have found a natural, safe, and effective way to treat cancer using only coconut oil, according to a new study.

According to Davidwolfe, coconut oil is not only a superfood, but also a valuable medicine. Lauric acid - a component of coconut oil, also found in breast milk, is believed to have anti-cancer properties. This is a medium-chain fatty acid that helps support the immune system, providing many antibacterial properties to the body.

Lauric acid in coconut oil has anti-cancer properties, according to a study published in the journal Cancer Research. Lauric acid, which makes up about 50 percent of coconut oil, was able to kill more than 90 percent of colon cancer cells after just two days of treatment in a colon cancer cell line, researchers at the University of Adelaide reported.

However, scientists say this research has only stopped at the in vitro scope, that is, extracting cancer cells from living organs and exposing them to coconut oil under controlled environmental conditions. Currently, research on living organs cannot be conducted because of the cost.

According to the American Dietetic Association, clinical studies have shown that the fats found in coconut oil (medium-chain fatty acids) are useful in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis, viral diseases (mononucleosis, hepatitis C, herpes, etc.), gallbladder disease, and cancer. Coconut oil has also been shown to reduce the harmful side effects of chemotherapy, and improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

Furthermore, other research has confirmed that coconut oil tops the list of foods with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and antioxidant properties. Coconut oil can help stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, treat Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, drug-resistant epilepsy, kill candida and other harmful fungi, and it can even help maintain a healthy weight.
