Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 An alternative to that " violet something " is proposed here: You've probably heard that breast milk is jam-packed with nutrients and disease-fighting ingredients that help keep babies healthy. In this case, if mother was not given anti-biotics, her breast milk alone could have taken care of thrush. Whether fed to baby or applied on thrush. Author remembers breast milk drops dropped in eye to cure conjunctivitis in childhood. Fortunately, coconut oil contains the same compound -- lauric acid -- as mother's milk! And lauric acid is the predominant type of medium chain fatty acid found in coconut oil. Lauric acid in both breast milk and coconut oil transforms when consumed into a substance called monolaurin, the actual compound responsible for fighting numerous types of infections. Thus coconut oil itself can serve as an anti-biotic. In fact, a great volume of research has been done establishing the ability of lauric acid to fight dangerous micro-organisms -- things you don't want to deal with -- like viruses, bacteria, yeasts, fungi, parasites and molds. What researchers found was that this medium- chain fatty acid derivative actually disrupts the lipid (or fatty) membranes of the offending organisms. Numerous studies have indicated that many viruses are inactivated by medium-chain fats -- viruses like influenza, measles, HIV, herpes and cytomegalovirus. Bacteria like strep and staph, gonorrhea, helicobacter pylori, salmonella and clostridium botulinum. And other infections like the yeast candida, even the ringworm fungus. The results leave little room for doubt ... the lauric acid in coconut oil is one effortless way to protect yourself from many types of " bugs " . Author uses coconut oil light massage whenever there is a rash due to anti-biotics or an itching eczema. When itch is accompanied by pricking sensation or inflammation, coconut oil came to be useful. Coconut oil available here is sweet in taste, has glycosugars also. Coconut oil was used for healing the wounds also, thus helps multiplying the cells which cause new skin to develop. In topical application, monolaurin forms albeit slowly. Perhaps a little oil is absorbed inside the skin, goes into systemic circulation and forms into monolaurin as a result of action of enzymes. In case pure coconut oil is difficult to get, use of shat-dhout- ghrut is recommended. The subject of oils and ghrutams deserves muchmore attention these days. ayurveda , " Janel Martin-Miranda " <janel_miranda wrote: > > i can't remember the name of the violet something for thrush. anyone > know? any other suggestions for a baby, four weeks old, born c- > section, mother had a lot of antibiotics for infection, baby too. > thanks. > janel > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Dr. Bhate: how can we tell if we are getting the right kind of pure coconut oil? Also, I have seen so many cases of babies getting thrush being breastfed all the while. And it gets transferred to the mothers nipples as well, both being bathed in breastmilk. I believe breastmilk is a fabulous live substance but it doesn't seem to cure thrush. Vicky vicky york Lactation consultant, postpartum doula postpartum care services .
