Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 There was lots of site when I did a search through the google search engine. Or see lauricidin.com. Quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Kathy, Sounds a lot like it is derived from Lauric acid from such as coconut oil and breast milk. Lauric acid gets transformed to monolaurin. Here is something I posted elsewhere in the past: Dr Waring cited Coconut oil as being a potent activator of TPST (Tyrosyl-protein sulphurtransferase) , it would make a lot of sense given the coconut-Lauric acid relationship, also it might have something to do with the breast milk miracle I remember reading about. You can check these out for yourself, but I'm quite sure Dr Waring will endorse the coconut-TPST story. Jon. This from below seems almost too good to be true! " Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional beneficial function of being formed into monolaurin in the human or animal body. " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why a Human Milk Project? Human milk fat has a unique fatty acid composition. It is approximately 45 to 50 percent saturated, about 35 percent monounsaturated and 15 to 20 percent polyunsaturated. Of the saturated fatty acids made in the mammary gland, up to 18 percent can be the antimicrobial fatty acids lauric acid and capric acid. These antimicrobial fatty acids give the infant protection against viruses such as HIV and herpes, bacteria such as chlamydia and heliocobater, and protozoa such a giardia lamblia. http://www.lauric.org/milkproject.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: lauricidin I can't find it in my drug book.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 <<Lauricidin® can boost your immune system. >> from lauricidin.com Just wondering what that would do to an immune system that is already in super high gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I'm not sure that the statement is correct, it might be more correct to state that Lauricidin is an anti-viral in its own right, and thereby helps the immune system. I'm not aware that it boosts or activates it, though if the hyperactive-immune system (as you suggest) is in top gear because it is trying (and failing?) to deal with a particular pathogen, then Lauricidin might give it the edge it needs which could then correspond to it selecting a lower gear as the situation permits. I don't think it actually does " boost your immune system " it most probably helps it be more normal. Jon.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I took the antioxidants, fatty acids, Vits and Mins. during the breaks from abx. I did take Vit C with Mino (500 mg per day) so I wouldn't get staining. My RA friend (who's had almost as much abx as I have) has mixed Lauricidin with her abx...but a few hrs after the abx.

So did you take the Lauricidin with antibiotics or > apart from them? > > - Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
