Anyone here using coconut oil? Has it helped? A friend with Lyme told me to take 6 tbs per day but to build up or you would herx. Any experience with it here?

So..whats your story.

I see you posting here...maybe with some history we can help you more...you've made several posts lately...you seem light years ahead of many Lymies.

Just curious.....

How long infected?

When diagnosed?

Possible co-infections?

Treatments alreeady tried?

Trout

PS...I have found Lauricidin to be MORE effective.

Let's just say that I am scared to death and am very resourceful and doing everything I can to be my own healthcare advocate, create my healthcare team, and do what I can to help myself and others.

To your questions:

1) Sick off and on for 8 years - worst was first 3 years and past year. Not sure if the Lyme was an issue only within the past year or if I had it the first time I battled illness.
2) Diagnosed a week and a half ago
3) Started Ceftin, Timdamax, and Doxy
4) Also have Ehrlichiosis - HME 1:160 IgG

Was diagnosed by a computer of all things and then confirmed by my MDs.

Here is all that I have had time to document about it so far:

Thanks for your questions!

Hey Scott -

It is the caprylic acid in coconut oil that they say is so good...

I had some on my toast today for the first time in a long time.

I can't say it has helped me tremendously but I can't say that it hasn't.

I do think that little changes like this really add up - cutting out sugar, no soda of any kind, cutting the sugary carbs, etc...

It all can help support your immune system...

Good luck!
