Lauricidin

[mdmom]

My DS15 has been on Valtrex daily for about 1 year. He noticed he felt better soon after starting it.

 

He is now dealing with possible kidney issues (protein in urine) and the nephrologist told us that Valtrex is nephrotoxic. Until we get more answers on the kidney issues (2 docs think it is immune related), I asked our LLMD to stop the Valtrex.

 

LLMD replaced it with Lauricidin.

 

Anyone have experience with this supplement?

Hi

we use the Monolaurin form as a natural antimicrobial, as recommended by our physician

The only other place we found it was at The Vitamin Shoppe where they sell it in smaller quantity but it works out more expensive http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=CV-1068

 

I have seen rather remarkable research being done on it in HIV patients as well. Very potent anti-viral but seems to be very well tolerated.

I have Lauriciden here, and have taken scoop full of pellets, and felt nothing.

 

HOWEVER, we have been using and cooking with organic coconut oil almost daily for 3 years now, so I think I have built a high tolerance to it.
