It wasn’t until Dr. Kabara, a professor at both Universities of Detroit and Michigan State for over 20 years, started specializing in the effects of fatty acids and monoglycerides that the discoveries started unfolding. With specialties in pharmacology and biochemistry, Dr Kabara discovered the anti-microbial effects of fatty acids in mother’s milk – and it just so happens that lauric acid is one of those fatty acids!

What Dr. Kabara also discovered – and what is really important to us – is that the body converts some of the lauric acid in coconut oil into monoglycerides called monolaurin and monocaprin (as well as monocaprylin and monomyristin). Even more important, it was these monoglycerides that were the powerful germ fighters.

Monolaurin, Monocaprin (and their cousins) effectively kills many viruses, protozoa and ALL PATHOGEN (BAD) BACTERIA!
Monolaurin and its family, killed 100% of every bacterium it was tested on! It was even effective against many viruses including:
Herpes Simplex virus (HSV 1 and 2), Measles virus, HIV, Hepatitis C, and Cytomegalovirus (CMV)!

The way these monoglycerides accomplish this “seem-to-be miracle” is really interesting. All bacteria (and many viruses) have very flimsy envelopes (skins) that are made of lipid fat molecules. This is their design so the bacterium and virus can penetrate its targets and cells easily. As it so happens, monolaurin’s family has the same size lipid fat molecules so they absorb into the skin of the pathogen bacteria and viruses.

Unfortunately for the bacteria, the monolaurin family doesn’t have very good binding power. The already loosely held bacterial and viral skins can’t hold together and the cells burst open (dies). The blood cleans up the debris by taking the dead cells to the liver and they are eliminated. Your body is much happier! It’s a good deal for everyone – but not the bacteria and viruses! Even better, unlike antibiotics, the monolaurin family only kills bad bacteria – not friendly ones! (It is almost like nature plans these things.) It is pretty simple good bacteria does not have lipid fats in their membranes!

Part of our focus has been helping hospitals, clinics and people with the deadly resistant staph infection called MRSA (as well as Lyme disease and other protocols). In addition, clinical studies were showing that, while monolaurin was the workhorse, there are a few bacteria that monocaprin was actually better at defeating. As in offering the full bioflavonoid family with vitamin C and all 8 forms of Vitamin E, we wanted to offer a fuller spectrum of the coconut monoglycerides to MRSA sufferers.

Thus was born the Monolaurin formula we recommend – offering a minimum of 95% Monolaurin with added Monocaprin, and Monomyristin. If under a bacterial or viral attack, especially with something like MRSA, it makes sense to use the full benefits of coconut monoglycerides! This is not the time to experiment.

We recommend the pellet form as it is far more concentrated and less expensive. There are only a couple companies that make it. We are not allowed to name them here but the best one also helps out families and people on a budget and offers an economy sizes.

One (1) blue scoop = 1 tsp = 3,000 mg Monolaurin.

Monolaurin is very bitter so most people put it in their hand – often with other capsules or tabs (the Monolaruin pellets actually makes it easier to swallow them). They toss the Monolaurin in their mouth and wash them down with any liquid (water, milk, etc.). Tilting the head forward helps swallowing, tilting head back makes swallowing more difficult.

Maintenance:  1 scoop a day.
Flu season:  1 scoop, 2 times a day.

A specific protocol:  

•    Under 130 pounds:  1 scoop, 2 times daily.
  
•    Over   130 pounds:  1 scoop, 3 times daily.
  

Children:Adjust to the child’s weight vs. an adult (example: an 80 # child is about 1/2 of an adult, so 1/2 the dosage).

Pets: Also adjust to a human adult.  A 20# pet is about 1/8 of an adult person, so 1/8 the dosage.  There are about 80 pellets in a scoop (tsp.).  Putting it into soft pet foods will help them eat the pellets.

Cautions: Gradually build up to a full dose (over about 7-10 days) to help avoid a Herxheimer reaction. Keep out of the reach of children. Chewing produces a very bitter taste.

Herxheimer Reaction:  A “herx” reaction is common with antibiotics when they kill bacteria faster than the body can eliminate them. This can cause some mild chills, flu or allergic type symptoms. If this happens, simply stop taking the Monolaurin a day or two to give your body a little extra time to remove the dead pathogens. Resume at a little lower dosage and gradually increase, as your body can handle it, to full dosage.
