Coconut Oil is an effective treatment for Candida Yeast Infections

Here I found interesting article about coconut oil by Darren Craddock;

Coconut oil was found to be effective in killing some forms of Candida, which causes candidiasis in humans during a study performed at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria. This study was later published in the Journal of Medical Food.

For those that suffer with candida, Coconut oil is an anti-fungal by nature, which means it is a yeast-fighter as well. The yeast on the inside is fought by coconut oil and when eaten it relieves these symptoms on the skin as well. It is a natural enhancer of the immune system since it is both anti-bacterial and anti-viral.

The use of Caprylic acid for candida has been done for years and it is one of the medium chain fatty acids that are found in coconut oil. Capric acid and lauric acid, the same as what is found in mother's milk, are both effective as a long-term cure for candida. They work together with the caprylic acid to achieve the destruction of the yeast. Coconut oil takes care of a variety of candida symptoms.

Symptoms of Candida

*vaginal yeast infection and vaginitis *itching of the rectum *thrush- more common in babies *disruptions of the skin such as diaper rash, cradle cap, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis

When using virgin coconut oil to cure thrush in an infant it is recommended that you feed them small portions of it throughout the day. It is not only safe but it helps to meet the nutritional needs of the baby.

There are many forms of coconut oils for the treatment of candida, such as fresh coconut, coconut water, coconut flour, coconut flakes, coconut cream and solid creamed coconut. You can also get coconut oil from coconut milk. The best is virgin coconut oil when it comes to the benefits of coconut oil and candida. Don't let the use of the words "extra virgin" with coconut oil mislead you. This is taken from the olive oil industry and there is no such thing or standard when it comes to the production of coconut oil. The use of these words is a ploy used in marketing to help you think that there are more benefits than in virgin coconut oil.

There are numerous companies that now sell coconut oil capsules. Two to four tablespoons of coconut oil each day is what is recommended for people. This is equal to about twenty-eight 1000mg capsules each tablespoon. The companies that sell these recommend three to six of these capsules each day, which is just a couple drops of coconut oil. It is extremely expensive to get enough coconut oil with capsules and a large amount of gelatin is taken in with them. It is best to get coconut oil from one of its natural forms that from the capsules that are on the market today to be sure that you get a full dose each day without the ingestion of large amounts of gelatin.

Now you know the benefits of coconut oil and candida. Take charge of candida, coconut oil is a fantastic cure.
