I think you need "virgin coconut oil." This is the raw version, cold pressed.
"coconut oil" just by itself is the cooked version. I personally do not touch this unless I see my herbalist make it herself. But VCO is just superior, most herbalists today just buy cold pressed VCO and add in their herbs to make it more potent.
Maybe you were sold the cooked "coconut oil."
Yes, "virgin coconut oil" is anti-fungal / anti-candida and works pretty good.
See
http://tinyurl.com/vcodetoxIt is always possible that someone is allergic to something.
It's 100% organic, cold pressed virgin coconut oil. Supposedly produced within one hour of opening the actual coconut.
Coconut has the highest level of salicylates out of the vegetable oils.
I'm not anti coconut oil some people can handle it. It just hurts my guts and I instantly want to get it out of my body (throw up/diarrhea) It does kill candida because I've used it topically and it definitely works. I would take care prescribing it internally to sensitive individuals. I think 'herxheimer candida die off' from coconut oil is often confused with allergic reactions to the VCO, I knew the difference and stopped taking it.
Since eating almost 99% raw carnivore I've become more in tune with my body and notice allergic reactions, of which I've always had, I just did not notice them because I thought they were normal bodily sensations and I was overwhelmed by the shear number of allergens.
