Organic Coconut Oil and Supplements
Welcome!  Let’s talk about one ailment that is already causing many of us to suffer needlessly called Candida Albicans (I’ll just refer to it as “Candida”), otherwise known as yeast or fungus.  This potentially harmful substance is found lurking in our digestive tract.  The good news is if you are relatively healthy, then it shouldn’t pose a problem since the “good bacteria” keep it in check.  Ready for the bad news?   The bad news is that the good, infection-fighting bacteria can be wiped out by things such as prescription meds, antibiotics, birth control pills, unhealthy diet and even stress! 

That counts me in…how about you?   Chances are, many of us have a Candida population growing inside us that is slowly getting out of control and will most likely lead to infections if not taken care of. This subject can be a source of embarrassment and not the most pleasant thing to discuss, but if you are here reading this, then you may be looking for for help with a health issue that needs to be addressed. 

If you are one of the millions of Americans thought to suffer from these symptoms, then Candida may be the culprit: irritable bowels, itching, ringworm, canker sores, vaginitis (if you are female) and weight gain.  One of the toughest problems we face as a society is the overuse of antibiotics, which slow down the efficiency of your immune system and cause problems with the good bacteria in your digestive tract that prevent the spread of yeast. If left untreated, it can cause you a lot of grief!

How do you get rid of Candida and protect and restore the good bacteria in your body?  No easy feat. But guess what? Our humble friend, the coconut, contains a very important fatty acid, caprylic acid, that kills the Candida yeast. Caprylic Acid has been used for years to fight this very ailment.

In addition to Caprylic Adic, there are two other medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil that can help kill the Candida foe.  One is Capric Acid, which has been found to cause the most effective method of destroying all three strains of Candida tested. The second is Lauric Acid which combined with two acids can readily combat the nasty Candida.  There may be hope for us yet!
