Arrow MCTs

I just bought a bottle of pure Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the active ingredient in coconut oil. It was $30 from my healthfood store. I firmly believe this is the product I've been looking for. The health benefits are endless. I even canceled my order for Oil of oregano once I found out how much better MCT would be for me. MCT contains properties that can kill bacteria, especially those causing yeast over growth. One of the most potent non-drug or natural yeast-fighting substances is caprylic acid, a medium-chain fatty acid derived from coconut oil. It is very effective against Candida and other forms of fungi. more info on Candida ~ Tropical Traditions.com

Plus, the metobolic benebits are great. Taking MCT like putting high octane fuel into your car. The car will run smoother and get better gas mileage. Likewise, with medium chain fatty acids, your body will perform better because it has more energy and greater endurance. Because MCFAs are funneled directly to the liver and converted into energy, the body gets a boost of energy. And because MCFAs are easily absorbed by the energy-producing organelles of the cells, metabolism increases. This burst of energy has a stimulating effect on the entire body. Many people, those with relatively good health, those with significant health problems, and those who are overweight notice a speeding up of their heart rate, their metabolism and their body temperature when they add coconut oil to their diet.
more info can be found at Tropical Traditions

I will try it for a week, at the advice of my herbalist. She is great at this stuff. She even says if I don't get the energy boost and get rid of the yeast in 1 or 2 weeks. I could bring it back. Now that's someone who believes in a product.

I'll keep ya'll posted.
