Has anyone used Monolaurin for Epstein Barre Virus?

Posted by bayhorse @bayhorse, Oct 17, 2022

Have any of you used monolaurin for EBV? And if you found it effective, could you let me know what supplement brand you used?

Thanks!

Unfortunately Functional Medicine is not covered with insurance in my home state. I feel like I jump from different supplements to help my EBV, but not much helps. Any suggestions on supplements are helpful. Curious though; which one has served you the best for energy levels? Hoping everyone heals soon.

Hi @susanblan. I had recurrent EBV infections with positive IgM antibodies. However, at the root of it was nervous system dysfunction -- being stuck in the fight or flight wreaking havoc on more than my immune system. The supplement that I believed helped me the most was DHEA. It's a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. I don't recommend taking it without proper testing and recommendation from a qualified healthcare provider. It is what I needed, but not everyone who has chronic infections needs it.

Giving my body the supplements it needed was only part of being able to function again. Harnessing the power of neuroplasticity and committing to the work it entails was a game changer as well.

Wishing you all the best on your healing journey! 🙂

Thank you. I’ve hear of that, but have never researched it. I will now and see what my doc says also. Thanks again. Hope you are healing.
