VCO and MCT research -- RBC hemolysis question

[Guest guest]

Most of the research used not VCO but " MCT oil " , which had all the lauric acid

and longer chains removed; it is comprised almost entirely of caprylic and

capric acids. Research that specified " coconut oil " actually employed coconut

oil.

MCT oil figures FYI:

The following study shows lauric acid breaks down (lyses) red blood cell walls

in normal blood salt (normotonic) conditions for blood of humans and two other

animals. Hemolysis may be the reason some people have symptoms from coconut oil

that are often attributed to the Herxheimer/Jarish effect (AKA healing

response); coocnut oil could be breaking down some of your red blood cells.

Another example of how unwise it can be to " chase the herx " . You can break blood

cells with certain frequencies too, and I think that was proposed on one of our

groups several years ago by an electrical engineer who is into Rife equipment.

Moving on, knowing that momma's milk ain't wrong, a cow's milk fat is only

2.2%-2.8% lauric acid, human milk fat is 5.5% lauric acid, and coconut oil

contains a rather excessive 51%-53% lauric acid.

I had been seeking to increase my MCT oil intake without increasing my lauric

acid intake. Given the seriousness of hemolysis, The MCT oil is looking better

all the time.

Maybe Bruce Fife has an answer to the questions raised by this research.

all good,
