Sorry - bad mobile phone thumb spelling... it’s lauric acid - coconut oil derivative.
I did an initial screening with a naturalpath a few months ago. I’m hypothyroid and was looking for more than just - “take the synthroid” and we’ll see you next year. Hypo and hyperthyroid problems are generally an autoimmune response. The naturalpath was all about finding the reason for the autoimmunr reaction in the 1st place.
The initial bloodwork was pretty extensive and one of the things that is very common among those with thyroid problems is active epstein barr virus. This is the same virus that causes cold sores(herpes), and it lies dormant in a large section of the population. It also likes to populate in the thyroid. I don’t expect that it’s reversed any of my thyroid issue, but I certainly feel better. I won’t be getting another checkup on the T3 & 4 for a few more months.
Long story short - Mononlaurin, astragalus, cats claw, ginseng all fight bacteria and suppress epstein barr. All are great for cell health, and immune system.
Just commenting on Epstein Barr... drinking 1 cup of juiced celery each morning will completely gut Epstein Barr. Look up “The Medical Medium”...tons of people have seen major results with it. Epstein Barr has been linked to alot of issues.
