I used Lauricidin for a few months here. It cause sooooooo much yeast that I

had to stop using it, and try OLE, which still caused yeast but at least I could

keep the yeast under control with the OLE.

Thank you Dana for this feedback. I am sure this is really a dumb question, but

how can things like Laurecidin (we use the Monolaurin version--less concentrated

I guess but pretty much the same thing) or OLE which are both supposed to

deactivate yeast, bacteria, fungus...etc also CAUSE yeast?

Is it because they are both also anti-virals and anti-virals cause yeast as a

part of the viral die off process?

So confusing!

thank you for any further insight! I think I will try OLE again...

HTH,

Yes, because viral die off causes an enormous amount of yeast, and the possible

anti-fungal properties of those products won't even touch the amount of yeast

created.

This might vary a bit from person to person. My family has found that some

things (like oral glutathione, the lipceutical kind) caused so much yeast that

we had to stop after 3 days both times that we tried. I take Lauricidin and

haven't had a problem with yeast from that.

I'm really curious what the exact mechanism is that causes viral die-off to

sometimes make yeast flare up so much? Does it throw off pH or something? I'm

wondering if this is why many people don't see benefit from lots of antivirals.

I'm on a list for adults with chronic active HHV-6 who tend not to benefit from

antivirals like I do, but there seems to be no awareness in that group of yeast.

I eliminated herpes virus with lysine. The amount of yeast that was caused by

herpes elimination was unreal.

I don't know the exact reason why viral die off causes yeast, but it sure did

here.
