One of the ingredients is Saw Palmetto extracted from a berry and it is used for

prostrate cancer.

I have emailed De Felice to ask if it is legal.

It looks like the lauricidin is the purified extract from saw

palmetto. Lauricidin is the active ingredient pulled out in the oil,

and the product does not contain actual squashed saw palmetto

berries.

It is the fat/oil lauric acid attached to glycerol which is SCD

approved. Both Seth and Elaine commented on glycerol not being a

sugar alcohol and okay for SCD in the FAQ on glycerin at

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.com

On the surface it looks okay, but I can't find a true ingredient list

of the product. Anyone that can rattle off what is on the label? Also

I want to contact the company because sometimes there are things that

are undeclared on the label (legally allowed) but are in the product.

What is on the website might not be as technically accurate as we are

looking for here. For example, in the past I read it said to take the

product 1 hour away from any digestive enzymes because of an

interaction. However, upon contacting the company as to why or how

this works, the reply was that there was just speculation that lipase

enzymes (fat breaking) might breakdown the product and lessen the

effectiveness. But this was just theory and only applied to lipase

enzymes, no other ones. Of course, lipase is produced by your

pancreas anyway....does the label say to take away from meals? Will

check into this.

If Seth or Elaine says the product is okay, I'll skip this. You can

always try it and see if it is beneficial.

Fun Fact: Saw Palmetto is a member of the botanical Palm family -

Palmaceae. Coconut is also a member of this palm family. And the

lauric acid is common to both.

I use this product. You do need to start with a just a couple of pellets and

then build your way up. I've been using it for about a year and am happy with

it. I don't use it every day.

Re: Lauricidin

Since I am unfamiliar with supplements I have emailed De Felice for her

opinion because it is essential that Penny doesn't use anything doubtful until

Kenzie gets on track. If other parents know this supplement to be SCD legal I

would appreciate hearing more about that.

Basically, I think it is fine, but wait just a couple days until I

hear back. That way you won't even have to worry about it at all...it

won't ship before Monday anyway at the very earliest. It's just that

SCD has special restrictions that just aren't an issue with other

eating plans so things come up that don't otherwise come up. If he is

active in autism groups, he has likely heard about SCD already.

Thank you . I will wait to hear back from you to be certain.

Before we started Lauricidin Elaine was still on the list and someone

asked her if it was legal and she said it was. That was around

November I think.

Check out this post on Lyris from Elaine...

http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages?id=264301#264301

this is what it says:

All I could find on lauricidin is written by companies selling it. It

sounds fairly innocuous and if the SCD is not moving fast enough for

you,

why not try using it.

I thought I remember her saying more definitely that Lauricidin was

legal, but haven't found that reference yet. This is info we

really ought to save somewhere - in the supplements list??
