I could only take one-two pellets of lauricidin, but I could take 3-4 monolaurin capsules at a time. I stopped when I started having adrenal issues as this also added to my dizziness.

May I chime in? I purchased a container of Monolaurin from my LLND, last year. I tried 1 teeny tiny pellet per day and i TJOUGHT at that time it was what caused my horrible herx. So I was hesitznt to resume...

Ive recently discovered the full unused openED container.

Does anyone know it itd stil be ok to use= an entire year later after opening it?

Thanks

Hi 1000 Daisies
How long is a round of treatment?
What's the benefit of Lysine?
Many Thanks, Aylett

lymepickle - sorry i never got an alert on the responses to this thread

i took monolaurin for several months. do be careful on how much you take, i do believe there is such a thing as taking too much of something and then causing toxicity. if i were you i would not go beyond taking 2 scopps a day.

nichostetler - really?? how is it that the acid reflux was taken care of with antibiotics? were you diagnosed with Hpylori? which ones did you take? bc i have an acid reflux issue now that i didn't have before, and i have concluded that it is possible that the lyme bacteria messed up my stomach flora. I am currently taking high doses of probiotics and fish oil along with vitamins and coq10. I ordered digestive enzymes, bc i have a feeling i am not absorbing or digesting things properly. dont know if its bc of leftover infection, or if it could be a flare or candida. but something isn't right with my stomach.

Just a note about CoQ10. Regular CoQ10 is very poorly absorbed by the body. If you think you are having absorption issues, you may be absorbing even less of the supplement.

If you aren't already, you should try a CoQ10 supplement that is both water and fat-soluble (solubilized) to be sure your body is actually absorbing it. Research shows that solubilized formulations of CoQ10 are absorbed better by the body and lead to higher plasma CoQ10 levels.

what antibiotics are you on currently?

I am on clarithromycian, and cefdinir. Plus I am taking nystatin to prevent yeast infections.

The supplements I am currently taking are Lauricidin, and cryptolepis (just started for babs) and then 1,000mg of vit C, Vit. D, Hawthorn berry (for heart palps.), and milk thistle for liver support. Plus two different probiotics.

I've been on all this for about two months and I feel probably 30% better. I feel like I should maybe switch things up soon because I feel like I've plateaued..however, my LLMD wants me to keep going. I see her again at the end of July.

I just bought lauricidin for me. I haven't started it yet.

Kid#2 has had amazing responses from monolaurin/Lysine-Extra (first few days, increase in symptoms - but then a huge opposite feeling of much improvement). We've done a few rounds of this. He had been on some of Buhner's herbals for several months, but he was getting worse again. I added the monolaurin/Lysine-Extra back in, and he definitely improved again. I just wish it could stick. Such a roller coaster.

Please let me know how you do on it, I'm curious! And I wish I knew why it is so hard for some people like me to tolerate and some people take a full scoop and don't feel a thing. That is crazy to me!

Start slow!!

I know what you are saying. I read that OLE (Olive Leaf Extract) is very powerful for some on this board, and when I did it, I felt nothing at all from it! Go figure!

Waiting for some commitments to pass before I try it so it doesn't take me down during those commitments. smile Will post, but I'm kind of thinking it won't do much for me. I've been wrong though!

Very helpful and impactful for Kid#2 though.

How did you work kid #2 up to full dosage?

I feel like I should increase faster but the herx scares me. Sometimes I just feel like I need to plow through it though and I'd be able to see better results quicker.

Hi 1000 Daisies
Not sure what happened in the Fall. With me, Lyme seems to build up resistance, so nothing is effective more than 2 months. I'm getting ready to go off colloidal silver, because it's losing effectiveness. Maybe Lauricidin is the replacement. I guess it's a crap shoot, with some people reporting great improvement and some people reporting stomach upset and no improvement.
All the best! Aylett

Hi MC
www.lauricidin.com says shelf life is 2 years from date of manufacture (in FAQ)

I'm much better in summer too. Winter is my worst season.

Hi 1000 Daisies
I had live blood analysis. We saw Lyme-like borrelia, including active Lyme, cell wall deficient Lyme, and biofilm pieces. Also, there are circular formations on some of my red blood corpuscles, which are probably babesia. No evidence of bartonella or other coinfections. Western blot Igenex showed band 41 only, in IgM and IgG. CD57 is 78. Globulin is 1.7. Immune system is just above the bottom of the acceptable ranges for both. I've had Lyme for at least 2 years, maybe a lot longer.
Cheers to the death of our adversary LD! Aylett

Sounds like a great deal of mixed knowledge on Lauricidin, everyone thinks it kills something different!

pismo- Monolaurin is effective against certain types of bacteria mostly gram-positive and also viruses that have a lipd coating such as EBV, influenza, HIV, herpes, etc. It's also effective against yeast but caprylic acid which is another fatty acid derived from coconut is more effective.

When I first started taking it I had severe die-off so changed to the pellets and went up slowly on the dosage. After a few weeks I was able to take it with no problem. I stopped though because at 5 gram doses it made my stools loose but also constipated at the same time if that makes any sense. Now I'll take 2400mg daily though I'm not consistent with it so I can't really say how effective it is.
