A friend gave her testimony on her family's use of Monolaurin and this makes me more interested in getting on it. Here is what she says:
((((We take Monolaurin every single day, at this point, to minimize or prevent a COVID-19 infection. It has the ability to penetrate the outer lipid shell of this type of virus and may, considerably, help weaken its ability to thrive.
I had an excellent experience 2 years ago when it was prescribed by an ND for something called a 'viral flair' I, evidently, had not fully kicked a previous infection and felt unwell for several months. After just a couple of weeks of taking Monolaurin, I was completely well again.
The key is to do your homework on this. . It's an extremely powerful supplement and not to be taken randomly or without knowledge. Since it's capable of killing off a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and more, you'll, very likely, experience some die-off symptoms since, even if you feel well, some of those things are always in your body. This period of die-off can be mildly uncomfortable or actually make you feel pretty sick for a few days or longer.
Some people cannot tolerate it and stop taking it. One of my, very healthy, daughters gave up for this reason. I have never been able to build up to the higher doses, it's just too much for me.
This is not your average supplement like vitamin C or D, but it can be used on a daily basis for overall immunity. But you, first, have to understand how it works in your body. My ND advised taking for no more than 5 months at a time. With COVID-19 here to stay for a while, I'm breaking protocol on that.
One last thing, though it contains lauric acid - the same substance as coconut oil - your absorption rate is about 50% with the oil and much, much higher with Monolaurin.))))
Another friend who struggles with ME/CFS for something like 30 yrs just bought the Lauricidin...she has some New HOPE. Thanks Fore as you brought this to my attention and I went with it. j '
