Coconut Oil and Cancer
My dad has stage four lung cancer and I wonder if coconut oil can help him...so I investigated. We know that coconut oil is good to use topically to clear up skin conditions and moles, but how does it really work inside the body with something as deadly as cancer?
It seems that coconut oil is particularly effective with colon, breast and skin cancer. But I think if it helps with some cancers, there ought to be a benefit to all cancerous conditions (i.e. coconut oil can't hurt, right)? When cancers were tested against various fats (to see if they had any impact on the cancer) there was a significant difference in the way the fats reacted.
Interestingly enough, coconut oil had the most favorable reaction to all of the oils in one particular test. It actually inhibited the growth of cancer. It has to do with the anti-cancer effect of the Medium Chain Fatty Acids. MCFAs protect the body inside and out from harmful, foreign matter in our body.
I think that I am going to boost my dad's intact of coconut oil!
