Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is empirically used as a treatment of various infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. No treatment effect on the VCO depends on the existing content in the VCO. Based on the analysis of the content of the VCO, the proportion of existing substances namely:
Substances contained in the VCO
Percentage content type
49.16% lauric acid
6:09% caproic acid
Capric acid 5.85%
19:42% myristic acid
9:12% palmitic acid
Chain fatty acids are another 2:36%
Polyunsaturated Fat 2%
Fat monosaturasi 6%
Cholesterol 0%
Sodium: 0%
Total carbohydrate 0%
Protein 0%

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains nearly 50% lauric acid so that the efficacy of the VCO is identical to the properties of lauric acid which is the main component of content. Of scientific research has proven that the human body lauric acid is converted into monolaurin, a compound monoglycerida that are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-protozoal and anti-fungal that can cope with this nature viruses such as HIV or AIDS

One of the research conducted at the San Lazaro Hospital in the Philippines, around 2002 – 2003 Hospital for infectious diseases under the auspices of the Philippine Health Department to research the 15 patients infected with the HIV virus. Experiments were carried out for 6 months. Patients were comprised of the top 5 men and 10 women aged 22-38 years were divided into 3 treatment groups. None ever get HIV treatment earlier. Viruses that infect range between 1960 to 10190,000 except those with undetectable virus (number below 400). All patients were treated with only getting 95% pure monolaurin as monotherapy.

The first group consists of those who were given 22 grams of monolaurin per day, consumption of 800 mg capsule-shaped volume. Frequency of 3 times a day each capsule 9. This group is referred to as those who were given high doses of monolaurin. The second group of low doses of monolaurin get treatment. They were asked to ingest 3 capsules equivalent to 2.4 g 3 times a day. While the latter group consumed 15 ml of pure coconut oil 3 times a day or 45 ml per day. Dose of monolaurin in the third group is equivalent to the first dose group.

Indicators measured among others; weight gain, the amount of virus in the blood and CD4 values​​. After 3 months of trial, two patients in the first group decreases the amount of virus; 2nd group of as many as two people, the 3rd group of three people. However, in other patients the numbers have increased. While in patients with undetectable viral load, there was no change in status. At the end of the study, the 2nd group which has decreased the amount of virus in the blood to 4 people. While the first and third groups, respectively two and three people. Of that number by 2 experienced a significant decline in the patient group 3 with palm oil consumption and the treatment of patients with low doses of monolaurin in the 2nd group.
AIDS case rate of less than 200 CD4 cells develop in two patients of group therapy and 1 patient monolaurin low oil therapy at month 3 of the latter eventually died after 2 weeks of the study ended. However, one of the patients in the low group monolaurin recovered at month 6 It was demonstrated with CD4 values ​​rose from 141 to 459.

Other research conducted by Keep Alive Hole also yielded consistent results. The organization mndokumentasikan some AIDS patients who consume 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil or coconut half a day, which is equivalent to 20-50 grams of lauric acid. The number of viruses that infect them down to undetectable levels.

A. Mechanism of action of monolaurin in killing the HIV virus

Lauric acid in the human body is converted into monolaurin. Monolaurin that is the agent that can kill the HIV virus. Monolaurin will separate the cell membrane of HIV by way of weakening the virus until the cell membrane apart. In this condition, the longer the automatic HIV will die. In contrast to the mechanism of anti-retroviral drugs that are commonly used NRTI drug is known as a nucleoside analogue that inhibits the viral RNA into DNA changes and different NNRTIs with NRTIs also inhibit the process of change, although RNA into DNA. Also also also as retroviral protease inhibitors are commonly used this medicine works by blocking the enzyme protease that cuts the long chains of amino acids into proteins smaller.

Monolaurin which is a medium chain fatty kills the HIV virus interacts with the HIV virus in the cell walls are composed of fat. The interaction process causes weakening the integrity of the viral membrane consisting of fat so that there is a separation between the viral membrane with the material in the cells of the HIV virus. The process of separation of the cell membrane causes the virus will die because it is not protected by a membrane that functions as virus protection.

Fat that make up the viral membrane is a long-chain fatty, while monolaurin is the chain being fat. Interaction between long-chain fatty existing in the viral membrane with medium chain fatty monolaurin will cause no permanent viral membrane due to changes in the composition of the viral membrane. This causes the membrane irrespective of unity that allows the virus cell death in the virus.

B. Mechanism of action of monolaurin in improving the body’s immunity

Monolaurin addition to directly killing the HIV virus by interacting with the cell membrane, can also increase the number of CD4 helper T cells. With increased levels of CD4 helper T cells in our body, the immune system will also increase. Increased body immunity serve as the basic capital in the healing process of diseases caused by opportunistic infections caused by HIV infection. Based on research conducted by Enigh (2007), an increase in CD4 cell count is very significant happens in people with HIV / AIDS are given VCO at certain doses. This strengthens immunity enhancement effects statement on the administration of the VCO in patients with HIV / AIDS.

Monolaurin stimulate the formation of T helper cells in the lymphoid tissues so that when the helper T cells stimulated formation will simultaneously the formation of antibodies in the body of people with HIV / AIDS will increase. This causes the immune response will increase as well as helper T cells producing cytokines serve as a humoral immune response stimulating the formation of antibodies in the body.
