I do know that my vets have recommended virgin coconut oil due to its
anti-viral and
anti- protazoan properties for my dogs
with coccidia and other stomach ailments, knocks it right out. It also regulates the thyroid, I've spoken to a rescue center about this and she has gotten several dogs off of thyroid meds with this successfully. It won't hurt you (unless you have a coconut allergy), so why the hell not try it.
