See article keywords and concepts |  Lauric acid is a raw material your body uses to make monolaurin. monolaurin is an antiviral, antibacterial property your body uses to build the immune system, and fend off everyday viruses and bacteria that the body is supposed to. Without that raw material, your body cannot make monolaurin. If you don't have lauric acid in your diet, you can't make monolaurin. That's why this is a popular food. As a raw food, if you took a teaspoon of this a day, you're building your immunity. You're also enhancing your metabolism, which helps you to lose weight. |

Pathogenic bacteria inactivated by monolaurin include Listeria monocytogenes; Staphylococcus aureus; Streptococcus agalactiae; Staphylococcus epidermidis; Groups A, F, and G streptococci; Group B gram-positive streptococcus; and Helicobacter pylori. In addition, not only does monolaurin inactivate H. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In the body, lauric acid is converted into a highly beneficial compound called monolaurin, an antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride that destroys a wide variety of disease-causing organisms. Studies have demonstrated that monolaurin eliminates lipid-coated viruses, such as Cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex 1, HIV, Hemophilus influenzae, measles, the Vesicular stomatitis virus, and the Visna virus. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  In the human body, lauric acid is formed into monolaurin, which is basically a bug killer: It's antiviral and antibacterial. Mary Enig, Ph.D., arguably one of the most distinguished lipid biochemists in the country, has written eloquently on the antiviral and antibacterial effects of lauric acid and coconut in general, documenting its effects on a host of microbes and quoting study after study after study showing its immune-enhancing effects. She has also debunked the idea that the saturated fat in coconut has any adverse effects on the heart or on health in general. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  It is currently being used in treating AIDS. monolaurin is a monoglyceride of lauric acid. Lauric acid is also found in human mother's milk, which makes coconut milk an excellent alternative to milk-formula foods. In fact, coconut milk has been used in the tropics to bring up very healthy children when breast milk was unavailable.
Delicious-tasting coconut oil is not only satisfying to your taste buds, but it also cleanses your colon by gently softening and loosening old fecal material, and helping to remove it without unpleasant side effects. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Monolaurin is one of these and is now being used by some of those infected with the HIV virus, including some AIDS patients. monolaurin comprises glycerin and the 12-carbon saturated fatty acid lauric acid. It has been shown to have anti-viral activity against a number of membraned viruses, including influenza viruses and herpes viruses in vitro, i.e., in the test tube. Apparently it works by affecting the lipid membrane of these viruses. The HIV virus is also a membraned virus. No adverse effects have been reported in those taking 600 milligrams of monolaurin for fourteen days. |
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In numerous test tube studies, monolaurin has been shown to selectively inhibit viral replication without destroying healthy cells. For more than a decade, alternative physicians have used monolaurin to treat chronic fatigue syndrome, infections related to Epstein-Barr virus and herpes I and II virus, and flu-like symptoms with some success, in combination with high doses of Vitamin C.
Monolaurin is now available for consumers in natural food stores and through mail order. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Other recent studies suggest that monolaurin also kills bacteria by interfering with signal transduction, thus disrupting the bacteria's ability to interact with the cells they are trying to infect. In addition, lauric acid has been shown to interfere with virus assembly and maturation.
The antiviral properties of the medium-chain fatty acids abundant in coconut have been found to be so potent that they are now being investigated as a treatment for AIDS patients. Studies recently conducted in the Philippines have demonstrated that coconut oil does indeed reduce viral load in AIDS patients. | | Laurie acid and its derivative monolaurin also kill or inactivate a number of fungi, yeast, and protozoa, including several species of ringworm, Candida albicans, and Giardia lamblia.
Besides being 50 percent lauric acid, 6 to 7 percent of the fat in coconut is in the form of another beneficial medium-chain fat called capric acid. |
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Although monolaurin is on the cutting edge of antiviral supplements, fatty acids have been used since biblical times to treat viruses. Lauric acid is nontoxic and is on the U.S. FDA list of food additives generally recognized as safe (GRAS). For herpes infection, monolaurin is usually combined with lysine (see page 93) amino acid.
Possible Benefits
Helps fight viral infections.
The Right Amount
At the sign of infection, take three to six 100-mg. capsules daily on an empty stomach for 14 days. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Monolaurin: monolaurin is a medium chain saturated fatty-acid compound (from monoglycerides of lauric acid) naturally occurring in mother's milk and commercially prepared from coconut oil. It is effective against lipid-coated viruses, including HIV, CMV, HSV-1, and influenza virus; it is also active against a wide range of opportunistic fungal and bacterial infections. Lauric acid has been used as a food preservative since 1964, though only recently has it been studied for its use as an antiviral medication in humans. | | Witch Hazel grapefruit seed

Bruce Fife and Jon J. Kabara
See book keywords and concepts |  Additional research is currently underway to further study the use of monolaurin and coconut oil to treat HIV/AIDS.
Unfortunately, the ready availability and low cost of coconut oil and its derivative fatty acids are reasons why research into its use as a treatment for AIDS and other viral illnesses has been slow. There is little monetary incentive for pharmaceutical companies to fund research of a natural, readily available substance that they cannot protect with a patent and charge exorbitant prices for. |
Mary G. Enig
See book keywords and concepts |  The AIDS virus is killed by monolaurin. Why it is not more extensively used is probably related to the fact that most people don't understand what it does and why it does it even when you explain the effects. There have been some reported benefits for several years from both monolaurin capsules and coconut; however, this has all been anecdotal reporting and there have not been any properly conducted clinical trials, although I have been trying to get one started for several years. |
