"the most potent substances against the spirochete and rounded forms of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia garinii were cis-2-decenoic acid,
baicalein, monolaurin, and kelp (iodine); whereas, only baicalein and monolaurin revealed significant activity against the biofilm. Moreover, cis-2-decenoic acid, baicalein,
and monolaurin did not cause statistically significant cytotoxicity to human HepG2 cells up to 125 μg ml-1 , and kelp up to 20 μg ml-1 ."
So, does that mean if we add coconut oil and kelp to our diets we will help our bodies fight Lyme off better? And where do we find the other two substances??

- Be careful with kelp, though, as the natural MSG (glutamate) in it can cause anxiety to zoom to the moon and also not be so good for the myelin sheath around nerves. Glutamate can be toxic, very toxic to those with myelin sheath damage as happens so often with lyme.
See post: Caution: Aspartate; Glutamine; and Phenylalanine (3 excitatory amino acids that can be wrong for us when added as supplements, beyond a normal dietary level)
Seaweed has its own natural MSG (monosodium glutamate). Even a little too much can be very excitatory - and toxic - causing damage in those with demyelination of nerve tissue such as with lyme -
