monolaurin revisited

On Dr SP from Ct last facebook video ( he took questions for an hour plus- very good- id link it but facebook is blocked here at school where i work) he said he "loves,loves,loves" monolaurin....said it was like soap it that it breaks down the walls of viruses, fungal, and bacteria.... it has been discussed in past posts how it is more for viruses/candida, but i think it has a much larger impact on bacteria than most realize

couple yrs back i worked my way upto 3 scoops a day, but now as i restart im stuck at 7 pellets 3x a day (apparently got re-bit summer 2017 after feeling bck to 90%)...

the herxes i get from it include fatigue, increased twitching and achy feet/legs/body, in the very same way as when i was taking tetra et all, as well as houttunyia...also seems to affect my ears....so i am going up a couple pellets a day until i get back to a couple scoops (each scoop has 80 pellets)

....i think it definitely has some action against bart as well...i also seem to recall dr SP saying it broke down biofilms as well....

curious about any thoughts, or experiences of anyone recently taking it

I have been taking it, I’m not sure if it did anything, I took 2 scoops a day, I would have taken 3 but it was difficult as I’m at work in the afternoon. It’s almost finished, I think I will order some more as I’ve read so many good things about it.

Sorry I can’t be more specific, it certainly didn’t worsen symptoms.

Used monolaurin before with other herbs but it made me a bit hyper/anxious. Am trying it again with mix to treat EBV and other things it hits, as others have mentioned before. Last night I could not sleep. Not sure if it is the monolaurin or something else, so will start slower.

It may be my system as I have a hard time with a lot of meds/herbs. Not die but allergic reactions. This pattern with meds started long before Lyme, so I don't want to bad mouth monolaurin as if it is common problem. I've read some really positive reviews on it.

I've been taking 3 scoops a day (1 scoop = 3g) for around 3-4 years now. I initially herxed when ramping up - it was like a strange herx that would cause muscles to cramp up in certain areas. But got up to the max dose within a few weeks.

I had stopped all treatment for the past two years, taking only monolaurin. It was a bit of a gamble but I had read this textbook and it gave me the confidence that it would be enough to keep whatever was left in me at bay:

I didn't relapse during the two years off treatment and led a reasonably normal life of working full time and sports. I've started mercury chelation now and I think there is still some Lyme etc hiding in the jaw area where the mercury is, so monolaurin was enough to suppress it.

I was recently reading the Amazon reviews for the product and I came across this one:

"I had a brutal case of Lyme disease and this was what has helped keep me from relapsing. When I stopped it a year ago, thinking I was all better, I relapsed and got so sick. It seems expensive but it really works and it lasts months at the maintenance dose of one scoop per day. I take more when I get a virus or cold. Won't be without it."

Talk about confusing.

Ah ha moment. I now see per the Amazon link that these "scoops" are scoops of small pellets, not scoops of powder. dbwilco mentioned this, but I never seen any supplement in this form.
