<p>MAYNILA - Inirekomenda na ng Department of Science and Technology (DOST) nitong Biyernes ang paggamit ng virgin coconut oil (VCO) para sa mga mild at moderate na sintomas ng COVID-19.</p><p>Sa isang media briefing, iprinisenta ni Science Secretary Fortunato de la Peña ang pag-aaral sa bisa ng VCO na isinagawa sa 57 pasyente sa Sta. Rosa, Laguna noong 2020 at 77 pasyente sa Valenzuela City noong 2021.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/03/20/virgin-coconut-oil-helps-decrease-symptoms-for-suspect-probable-covid-19-cases-dost">Virgin coconut oil helps decrease symptoms for suspect, probable COVID-19 cases — DOST</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/07/21/20/virgin-coconut-oil-very-promising-in-covid-19-prevention-researchers">Virgin coconut oil &#x27;very promising&#x27; in COVID-19 prevention: researchers</a></li></ul><p>Lumabas sa pag-aaral na mas mabilis gumaling ang lagnat, ubo, sipon, pangangati ng lalamunan at iba pang sintomas ng mga pasyenteng uminom o naghalo ng VCO sa pagkain.</p><p>Gumaling sa ika-18 na araw ang mga pasyenteng naghalo ng VCO sa pagkain, habang sa ika-14 na araw naman gumaling mga direktang uminom nito.</p><p>Sa ika-23 hanggang ika-26 araw naman gumaling ang mga hindi gumamit ng VCO.</p><p>&quot;VCO can be an effective adjunct therapy in managing COVID-19 symptoms, whether mixed in nutritious meal or taken separately. Both VCO trials by DOST-FRNI confirmed that VCO hastens the resolution of COVID-19 signs and symptoms,&quot; paliwanag ni De la Peña. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JUST IN: DOST recommends the use of VCO as an adjunct therapy in managing mild to moderate symptoms of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/COVID19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#COVID19</a>.<br/><br/>Community trials in 2020 and 2021 showed that VCO can hasten the resolution of COVID-19 symptoms. <a href="https://t.co/LGeMwPfnOl">pic.twitter.com/LGeMwPfnOl</a></p>— Michael Joe Delizo (@michael_delizo) <a href="https://twitter.com/michael_delizo/status/1484381913251221505?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 21, 2022</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Ayon sa mga eksperto, ligtas inumin o ihalo sa pagkain ang VCO para matulungang mapagaan ang pakiramdam ng may sakit. Hindi rin ito nagdudulot ng overdose.</p><p>Gayunman, nagpaalala si Dr. Jaime Montoya, executive director ng DOST-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, na isa lamang itong adjunct therapy o karagdagan sa iba pang gamot.</p><p>&quot;Baka kasi ang mangyari diyan eh, ‘Oo, ang VCO puwede na nating inumin so diyan na lang okay na ako.’ Hindi po. Hindi po namin sinasabi iyon. Ang sinasabi namin ay puwede niyong inumin iyan, maganda,&quot; ani Montoya. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/20/virgin-coconut-oil-clinical-trials-for-severe-covid-19-cases-in-pgh-gets-greenlight">Virgin coconut oil clinical trials for severe COVID-19 cases in PGH gets greenlight</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/23/21/dost-lagundi-effective-in-easing-covid-19-symptoms">DOST: Lagundi, tawa-tawa effective in easing COVID-19 symptoms</a></li></ul><p>&quot;Pero baka may kailangan pa kayong ibang inumin at ang makapasasabi niyan ay ang health professional, katulad ng mga doktor dahil sila po ang nakakaalam ng inyong kondisyon dahil ang kondisyon ng mga pasyente iba-iba,&quot; dagdag niya.</p><p>Maaari ring gumamit ng VCO ang mga walang COVID-19 bilang functional food o para mapalakas ang resistensya ng katawan, sabi ni Dr. Fabian Antonio Dayrit ng Ateneo De Manila University. </p><p>&quot;You can take actually VCO while you have the symptoms and signs, but also, we’re also recommending that even though you don’t have the signs and symptoms, it’s actually safe to take VCO as a preventive modality of having infections,&quot; dagdag ni Dr. Imelda Angeles-Agdeppa ng DOST– Food and Nutrition Research Institute.</p><p>Gayunman, nilinaw ng DOST na hindi pa aprubado ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang indikasyon na nagsasaad na partikular na magagamot ng VCO ang COVID-19, pero inihahanda na umano ang mga dokumento sa aplikasyon.</p><div><strong>PANOORIN</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1901426" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>&quot;Kasi ngayon ang VCO, functional food approved ‘yan ng FDA. Pero kung gusto nating maisama ‘yung indication na ‘may be used to relieve symptoms of mild and moderate COVID-19,’ kailangan pong mag-apply sila sa FDA,&quot; ani Science Undersecretary Dr. Rowena Cristina Guevara. </p><p>Mahalaga rin umanong magpabakuna pa rin kontra COVID-19 para maiwasan ang sakit lalo pa’t hindi malinaw sa paga-aral na kayang tugonan ng VCO ang mga seryosong sintomas ng virus.</p>

Nilinaw naman ng DOST na hindi pa aprubado ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang indikasyon na nagsasaad na partikular na magagamot ng VCO ang COVID-19, pero inihahanda na umano ang mga dokumento sa aplikasyon.
