Monolaurin/UMF honey- Schaller MD

January 12, 2006

This came up in a few groups. Perhaps this is of a little use:

*We know pateints using Monolaurin from Cardiovascular Research for many years.

It is a medium chain triglyceride derived from coconut. It has anti-viral,

anti-fungal, and mild antibacterial actions. Some individuals use it for any

infection, and highly advise it (along with caprylic acid) for candida. [Of

course probiotic and intestinal health is a 500 page book and not just an issue

of taking any probiotic with some caprylic acid--I have seen folks with stool

cultures where this has failed]

*As for UMF honey, some report an anti microbial effect, but some struggle to

find a high quality supplier that has an extract that is NOT in honey. Since

some are not excited about simple carbs. In the 70's, at the Phila Naval

Hospital, individuals treating would use honey on the burn patients, and on

decubiti sores. The Navy has its own healthcare system, and there were no

restrictions on how licensed individuals practiced in this area. Some report

honey was effective as a commercially available dextrose product that was

designed for treating open wounds, and the cost savings was considerable.
