Expert Protocol Series:
Monolaurin and Essential Oils For Skin - A Wound Protocol by Dr. Ryan Jones
Background
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presents unique challenges due to its resistance to many antibiotics. For this young patient, whose MRSA infection had proven resistant to conventional antibiotics, we devised a holistic protocol combining topical Lauricidin® with essential oils and supportive oral supplements. This 14-day approach successfully alleviated the infection, helping avoid further complications from antibiotic overuse.
Here’s a chart outlining Dr. Ryan Jones' expert protocol in a clear, step-by-step format for easy reference:
| Protocol Step | Application | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Topical Application | Apply 1 drop each of oregano and geranium rose essential oils directly to the wound. Use a dropper to avoid direct contact. | 3 times daily |
| Lauricidin® Solution (Topical) | Melt 10 Lauricidin® pellets in 1 tsp of coconut oil. Apply with a fresh Q-tip over essential oils, and cover with a new bandage. | 3 times daily |
| Lauricidin® (Oral) | Take 1 scoop daily to support immune resilience. | Once daily |
| Oregano Oil Gelcap | 60 mg orally to supplement antimicrobial action. | 2 times daily |
| Children’s Probiotics | Take consistently for 2 months following antibiotic use to help restore intestinal flora. | Daily for 2 months |
This chart can be a quick reference for readers to understand and follow the protocol steps from Dr. Jones.
Protocol for Topical and Oral Application
1. Topical Wound Care
- Oregano and Geranium Rose Essential Oils: To enhance the antimicrobial potency directly at the wound site, place one drop of oregano essential oil and one drop of geranium rose essential oil directly onto the wound using a dropper. Avoid direct contact with the wound to maintain sterility.
- Lauricidin® Solution with Coconut Oil: Melt 10 Lauricidin® pellets into one teaspoon of coconut oil (use low heat for a quick melt). Using a fresh Q-tip, gently apply the Lauricidin® solution over the essential oils to the affected area, ensuring even coverage. Discard the Q-tip after each use to prevent recontamination.
- Cover and Protect: Once applied, cover the wound with a sterile bandage. Repeat this process three times daily, using new bandages each time. Monitor for any skin irritation, as MRSA lesions are often sensitive.
2. Oral Support
- Lauricidin®: Administer one scoop orally each day to support immune function from within.
- Oregano Oil Gelcap (60 mg): Twice daily, provide an oregano oil gelcap to supplement antimicrobial activity in the gut and systemically.
3. Probiotics
- Children’s Probiotics: Following antibiotic use, consistent probiotic intake for the next two months will help restore gut flora and strengthen immune response.
Important Considerations
- Dilution and Safety: Oregano and geranium rose essential oils are potent. Use only one drop each to avoid irritation, and perform a patch test when possible. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Monitoring: Observe wound healing progress. If the infection persists or worsens, consider consulting a healthcare provider to reassess.
Rationale and Mechanism
The Lauricidin® and essential oil combination in this protocol leverages monolaurin’s natural properties to disrupt biofilm formation and impede bacterial growth at the infection site. Lauricidin®’s systemic benefits enhance immune resilience and create an inhospitable environment for bacterial persistence.
Dr. Jones’ Insights
“For resistant infections like MRSA, combining natural antimicrobials such as Lauricidin® with carefully selected essential oils offers a promising alternative when conventional treatments fall short. The natural potency of these compounds, when applied correctly, not only targets pathogens but supports the body’s microbiome, limiting adverse effects seen with broad-spectrum antibiotics.”
