The most common type of cancer that affects both men and women is colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, the conventional cancer treatments are not created to help the patients. Instead, they are used only to increase the profits of the pharmaceutical industry.
Scientists at University of Adelaide in Australia have conducted a study where they discovered that coconut oil, particularly the lauric acid in it, can destroy up to 93% of colon cancer cells in just 48 hours.
Coconut oil has numerous health benefits and aids in the treatment of health conditions such as liver issues, skin diseases, heart disease, diabetes, infections and Alzheimer’s disease. Cancer cells use glutathione as a shield from oxygen radicals and oxidative stress. The lauric acid reduces the levels of gluthatione and causes oxidative stress thus destroys the cancer cells.
Lauric acid is a fatty acid that has anti-microbial properties and also strengthens the immune system. This acid is also found in breast milk. The fat from coconut oil was proven by numerous studies to be powerful in treatment and prevention of bladder issues, osteoporosis, Crohn’s disease and cancer
Cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy can improve their quality of life and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy with the help of coconut oil.
