Coconut Oil for Shingles:
Put Coconut Oil to
the Anti-Viral Test

Characterized by skin eruptions and pain along the course of involved sensory nerves, shingles is a disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV).

VZV is closely related to the Herpes simplex viruses (HSV), which happens to be one of the countless pathogenic organisms that are inactivated by medium chain fatty acids (MCFA).

MCFAs are the predominant fat molecules found in the unique oil of the coconut. These relatively rare fatty acids kill a LONG list of viruses, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc.
