Questions abour Quercitin and Lauracitin

i havent taken Quercetin, but about Lauricidin:

"Lauricidin is a naturally occurring lipid (fat) that has been purified from coconut oil so as to increase the benefits to the body. "

I simply ate a lot of coconut oil/butter and got all the monolaurin/lauricidin i needed, probably in MUCH higher doses than i should have using pills. And got myself some fatty acids i needed from that coconut, i was not able to tolerate any other kind of fat back then, except for some chicken... Coconut is a fruit sent from heaven...

Lauricidin (the original brand of monolaurin) is a wonder substance in my family. My Functional Medicine doctor originally prescribed it (before I tested positive for Lyme) as part of a gut healing protocol. Lauricidin, along with grapefruit seed extract, is used to clean out bad bacteria and candida prior to repopulating the gut with the good stuff. Interestingly, there are monolaurin protocols for Lyme, weight loss, herpes, auto-immune, etc. Out of everything I've now taken for Lyme, Lauricidin caused the biggest herx for me, but it only lasted a couple of days. I don't know if that's because it was the first real bacteria-killing substance I took or whether it's just that good.

After we looked up the benefits, my husband went on it too, thinking that at 56yo, it couldn't be a bad idea to work on his gut. He's generally healthy as a horse so had no herx reaction. He's been on it about 3 months now and recently started to get one of his annual cold sores but it didn't fester and then just magically went away. He says it's never been that easy so we surmise the Lauricidin is helping him in a slow and steady fashion. Another friend with Hashimotos went on it and he says it made him feel better than anything else he'd tried. At one point he went off it thinking perhaps he didn't need it but ended up right back on it as his body reminded him why it was helping. My son is now on it as part of his Bartonella protocol.

If you try it, start slow. Sensitive people start with just a few pellets 2x/day. Others can start with 1/4 scoop (tsp) 2x/day. I think it's worth a try as there is really no down side that I can find. Good luck.

Thank you all for the informative posts. I am going to order them now.
