so I started buying the stuff.
Just bought monolaurin ( http://lauricidin.com/ ).
dosage suggestion?
Is Monolaurin/Lauric Acid the only MCT effective against Staph?
I seem to recall that other MCTs are too, so would combine Monolaurin with Coconut Oil and/or originum and other oils after further research.
I did bacteriophage therapy with standard staph phage. can it be targeted more specifically than that?
Yes:
The correct method it to take a sample from your body and then isolate/purify it to end up with only the bacteria/bacterial strain specific to you.
This specific bacteria is then exposed to a many, many different phages until one is found that lives on/likes the specific bacteria you are infected with.
It is then isolated/purified and applied.
Also; how was the phage dosed? If you just drank it, it probably didn't make it to your prostate and bladder as your immune system would have taken it out.
A more targeted method of application would have to be used.
Zinc chelation looks very targeted but I am afraid to loose all that zinc. Maybe EDTA would fit as well? How often should I chelate?
The info that iron chelation only works for certain strains and has the opposite effect on others and that Zinc chelation seems to work on all strains needs further research Chmekas. My post was supposed to point you in the right direction to do your own research, armed with the knowledge of which specific strain you have.
EDTA chelates many metals, including Zinc and is known to dissolve the biofilms of many different bacteria.
While EDTA does kill some bacteria by itself, its generally used with an antibiotic specific to the bacteria causing the problem.
As the bacteria is not hiding behind a biofilm anymore; the antibiotic can get to it easily and eradicate it.
I would talk to a doctor who does chelation therapy, explaining your whole problem.
He/she will then be able to recommend the mixture of chelation therapy, antibiotic and Monolaurin etc to be used.
At a guess I think they may recommend IV chelation with EDTA and IV antibiotic simultaneously. Perhaps even a more targeted application of antibiotics.
This could all be backed up with oral Monolaurin and/or Coconut oil, Originum, etc.
Don't worry about depleting essential minerals during chelation as a good practitioner will re-introduce these to your system at the correct time, specific to your condition.
