i really hope the coconut oil works. I purchased a jar today. it's crazy expensive.
I've been sick for five weeks (i had strep first), then tested positive for mono. It's insane how sick you get with this stupid virus.
my recipe is two teaspoons of coconut oil. One teaspoon of honey. Three ounces blue gatorade. mix the honey and coconut oil together. Melt for about 15/20 seconds. Mix in the gatorade. Drink immediately. (tastes like a margarita).
the coconut oil will soldify quickly, so drink fast if you using a cold beverage.
I'll repost if it does work and I'll repost if it doesn't work.

Thank you so much for the Coconut Oil drink mix! My daughter is 16 and has been fighting a virus for over a month. They tested her for Strep and Mono, both came up negative in July. Last week Mono came back positive. The steroids were not working after 3 days, I took her back in and they gave her 2 shots of steroids and advised to continue Motrin every 6 hours. The next day I found this drink mix and gave it to her last night. She woke up feeling the best in a while, more energy, her throat wasn't hurting as much. She still has 1 more day of steroids. At first she didn't want to drink it, then changed her mind. She even makes this drink herself! We know this isn't an overnight cure, but if it cuts the healing time in 1/2; I'm happy about that! I plan on giving her this for a few weeks until she is fully recovered. Thank you so much! I can't believe all the many uses for coconut oil :0)
