Nearly all infection-related cancers (1.9 million) were caused by one of four infectious agents: Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium of the gastrointestinal tract; the human papillomavirus (HPV); and the viruses hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Note that all the above bacteria and virii are treatable with EV Coconut oil, while he virii are all lipid coated and therefore treatable with BHT.

Perhaps the infections and the cancer are co-occurring due to poor diet or environmental toxins running the person down, etc. Things that occur together or sequentially do not necessarily cause each other, but may be caused by the same underlying factors. Also I was unaware that coconut oil was the cure for all diseases, although there is no harm in trying that.

How much coconut oil would you need to use to treat these infections? Would you need to use it topically for HPV? I'm kinda dubious about these things having remarkable curative powers, considering the amount of mortality and morbidity associated with these (and other) infections, and the easy availability and low cost of the substances. FWIW, I don't believe anything I read at naturalnews unless I can confirm it with a reliable source.

This is interesting http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/19134433
My main use for topical coconut oil is anti chafing for running. It does work great as a moisturizer but eventually I saw increase in face pore size from using it.

I looked for references to the article and found this in Lancet: http://www.thelancet...0137-7/abstract

Global burden of cancers attributable to infections in 2008: a review and synthetic analysis

Background
Infections with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasites have been identified as strong risk factors for specific cancers. An update of their respective contribution to the global burden of cancer is warranted.

Methods
We considered infectious agents classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We calculated their population attributable fraction worldwide and in eight geographical regions, using statistics on estimated cancer incidence in 2008. When associations were very strong, calculations were based on the prevalence of infection in cancer cases rather than in the general population. Estimates of infection prevalence and relative risk were extracted from published data.

Findings
Of the 12·7 million new cancer cases that occurred in 2008, the population attributable fraction (PAF) for infectious agents was 16·1%, meaning that around 2 million new cancer cases were attributable to infections. This fraction was higher in less developed countries (22·9%) than in more developed countries (7·4%), and varied from 3·3% in Australia and New Zealand to 32·7% in sub-Saharan Africa. Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis B and C viruses, and human papillomaviruses were responsible for 1·9 million cases, mainly gastric, liver, and cervix uteri cancers. In women, cervix uteri cancer accounted for about half of the infection-related burden of cancer; in men, liver and gastric cancers accounted for more than 80%. Around 30% of infection-attributable cases occur in people younger than 50 years.

Interpretation
Around 2 million cancer cases each year are caused by infectious agents. Application of existing public health methods for infection prevention, such as vaccination, safer injection practice, or antimicrobial treatments, could have a substantial effect on the future burden of cancer worldwide.

I also bumped into this CBS report in the process: http://www.cbsnews.c...ns-such-as-hpv/ It's a better read than naturalnews.

Thanks for posting this logic

xEva:
Thx for posting the study.

Niner:
Yep good question.
I do not know how much Coconut Oil it would take to completely eradicate these infections, or if its even possible with Coconut Oil alone. I was trying to be careful and not say 'cured'; hence 'treatable'.

This PDF lists research on coconut oil and the different acids, MCTs etc. found in Coconut Oil.
Searching the key words is a quick way to find links to the studies, but as I have to reload the PDF after each linkout I am not going to post each of them here; I don't have the bandwidth.

human papillomavirus (HPV):
I was incorrect, this is not a lipid coated virus and as such is not treatable with Coconut Oil or BHT.

Hepatitis B & C:
Are both lipid coated.
