I got this link while researching the cholesterol debate and came across a forum for those infected with HIV who are using VCO to fight the virus (with success!). One post there also mentioned his LDL DROPPED. Interesting...

A bit from the article:

NEWS FLASH.

If coconut oil has proven effective for HIV-AIDS cases, it might also be good as a H5N1 (bird flu) remedy. Studies must now be made on the oil's efficacy against this new disease that threatens to become a worldwide epidemic.

This urgent proposal came from Dr. Conrado S. Dayrit who helped make virgin coconut oil (VCO) a popular dietary supplement and medicine here and abroad and helped remove it from the "bad oil" list.

Dayrit, hale and active at 86, is a known pharmacologist, cardiologist, internist, science researcher, author and University of the Philippines professor emeritus. He was former president of the National Academy of Science and Technology, the highest scientific body in the country.

The team Dayrit directed in the early 1990s proved that HIV-AIDS cases responded to coconut oil. The highly promising results are now the bases for continued trials meant to alleviate the suffering of millions of HIV-AIDS patients in many countries, especially those in Africa.

Now, you may be wondering about cholesterol with coconut oil. I have been doing my own research and decided to call my doctor about it (an M.D.) - she said it is one of the healthiest oils on the market and won't adversely affect cholesterol levels.

As shown by studies in NLM Medline

some I'm aware that have worked for some I know of:

ultraviolet B blood treatment
Dr. William Campbell Douglas Into the Light
(used in Russia lots, U.S. some)

Hydrogen Peroxide IV treatment Dr. W C Douglas,etc. I think
(used in Africa)

Glyco Nutrients http://www.glycoscience.org

medical studies show they work for other forms of viruses as well including Hepatis C (but although true in general no guarantees they work for everyone- lots of clinical cases though)

I have started taking coconut oil (organic virgin - not the hydrogenated kind) for my thyroid. Right now both my kids are home sick and I usually pick up whatever they have and so far, I am just fine.

I think that people treating autistic kids commonly prescribe a coconut based product
Laurolin??(sp) or monolaurolin? or some such for this purpose, since those kids are very susceptable due
to basic metabolic and immune system problems that they have.

I follow an autism parents web site periodically where they indicate it works usually.
