Monolaurin and Bio Fibrin

The Dr. just added in Monolaurin and Tinidazole to my present protocol.
I had started treatment in Sept that included Doxy, Biofilm Defense, NAC, LB core and probiotics.
Past 2 weeks i added in systemic enzymes and dissolved oxygen supplement.
I started the Monolaurin 2 nights ago 1,200mg twice daily and Tinidazole,1,000 mg twice daily for 2 days each week.

I have had only mild herx, numb tingling in my arm and leg, 2 nights so far of sweats, some sharp stabbing in my shoulder blade, only for seconds, very mild headache and mild feeling of getting a chest cold. This is nothing compared to what I've gone through past 2 months!!

I do have to say, i am a little bit more focused today and a little less of a helium head and not so tired, very mild but i notice!!
Although the first night i took them i was restless all night, didn't sleep well and wasn't tired all of the next day..so weird when that happens.

I don't know if that addition to what i was already taking would kick in, in only 2 days? or I'm turning the corner or what.

So, i was on the cyst busters right from the start and i think the systemic enzymes have had a positive effect..affect..always get confused..

ekamaponin- Before i started treatment, i had a rash down the outside of both my index finger and on my nose and cheekbones, looked like a bad sunburn. They were both itchy, and the rash on my fingers were painful and burning.
They both intensified when i started treatment but now have completely gone.

I'm not ready to stop the doxy just yet, i feel it's important to my initial treatment, and the tinidazole i am giving a fair try. I am going all herbal eventually.

I wonder that too Margaret,
I wonder also how much coconut oil would equal 1 gram.
Probably alot,I suppose.

Margaret- Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. The monolaurin works exceptionally well against lipid-coated viruses such as EBV. So well in fact that I know a few people who took it whose titers went from very high to non-detectable. One pellet is not going to do that but it can be achieved with high amounts (6-9 grams daily). It also does work well for Lyme and co's. I know this because the herxes for me are similar to when I took Doxy (back muscle pain, flu-like feelings) and doxy does not target viruses. I'm also experiencing facial flushing, sinus inflammation and an increase in tingling which I know is also Lyme-related (or co's).

Chloe- You would have to eat way too much coconut oil to the point of getting sick to equal what you need to take with the monolaurin. You just couldn't do it.

Healing- No it's not known to impact the liver negatively. A guy I know that takes it with Lyme has taken up to 18 grams a day and says his blood test values have never been better. EBV titers are now non-detectable and he feels great though he also takes other things along with the monolaurin.

I've taken Rifampin and strangely have never herxed like I do on the monolaurin. The only herx I had was the red-streaked rashes and waking up with my throat on fire. The monolaurin doesn't seem to bring out the rashes for me but it sure hits me hard in other ways.

Todd Paul, thanks for the great info.!!

I agree Mister Mike.

Wow, you must be really tough to tolerate all that stuff Mister Mike. I have abs. no doubt that Buhner works, but I think I would have a tough time with it.

I can't seem to tolerate even that one pellet right now. I think I'm just going to do my miniscule dose of hooch, and then take one day off a week to do THE pellet



Todd, thanks for letting me know that Monolaurin works for Lyme and cos as well. I can't believe you're able to do 33 pellets?! How are people able to do that kind of thing?


Glad Elem posted.

Say, Mister Mike, didn't you have heel pain for awhile? Same here, and it turns out it's the Bart.

I'm not even doing Monolaurin at present!!

I've stopped everything for now, because of the diarrhea (prior history of c. diff.).

Sorry to hear about the herxing.

Maybe we should all go to Maryland and crawl into some Hyperbaric O2 chambers.

Welcome Lymes15!

Sorry for the reason you're here but glad you've decided to post.

I can't imagine that anyone would clear ALL of their symptoms with Monolaurin. Treating Lyme & Co. requires a multi-faceted approach.

I'm sorry you've been having such trouble with treatment. You really shouldn't add/increase anything until you get your herx under control.

Detoxing is a vital part of healing and the more detox methods you employ on a daily basis, the better you'll feel....and the more able you'll be to handle treatments.

We have a bunch of detoxing suggestions and lots of other useful information in our "New to Lyme" thread at the top of the forum....including a link to my fav site for detoxing suggestions:
