Drug Problem
Streptomycin and Gentamicin are some of the antibiotics used to counter e coli. But all drugs have unpleasant effects. Beware of anyone who will convince you otherwise.
Gentamicin is toxic to your kidneys and ears. According to Drugs.com, it can cause mild burning and stinging, to serious ones like breathing difficulty, chest tightness, mouth swelling, eye pain, etc. Streptomycin can cause fever and swelling, and in severe cases, intense allergic reactions, hearing loss, muscle weakness and many others.
MCFAs have no side effects! They tend to be the least toxic chemicals known to man. MCFA-loaded coconut oil is so safe, a newborn can eat it without harm. Even the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) confirms its safety by including coconut oil in its exclusive Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) list of foods.
Bacteria are Smarter than We Think
When penicillin was discovered, doctors thought that infections will become a thing of the past. Now, we know better. Bacteria mutate and become resistant to any and all antibiotics.
Antibiotics work by blocking metabolic or synthetic pathways used by bacteria. But resistance happens when a bacterium learns how to bypass a blocked pathway.
But They Can't Outsmart Coconut Oil
Unlike artificial antibiotics, coconut oil does not merely block pathways. MCFAs are natural antibiotics that weaken and destroy the structure of the bacteria "physically," not "biochemically." Simply said, MCFA-packed coconut oil uses a direct approach by killing e coli "in contact."
It doesn't just stand there obstructing e coli's actions, hoping it dies eventually. Coconut oil pro-actively destabilizes the outer membrane to the point that it literally splits open, spilling its insides and guaranteeing the death of e coli.
Resistance-Free Antibiotic
This process is so effective, coconut oil can terminate even the deadly supergerms that have mutated to become antibiotic-resistant. Bacteria can't develop resistance to this type of action. Not to coconut oil they can't.
Coconut oil can be used repeatedly to eliminate e coli symptoms. More importantly, it can be used again and again to neutralize the e coli bacteria itself and many other disease-causing organisms without forcing them to "evolve" into more complex superbugs.
