[YEA]  08/13/2008: Carol from Boston, MA: "I am so grateful for this home remedy website and forum! My daughter has Mono and over the last 2 days has had an unbearably sore thoat. We tried everything (salt water gargle, steriod solution gargle, advil, codiene...) and nothing was working. She couldn't even swallow her saliva. It was preventing her from sleeping, and when you have mono, thats all you want to do. I happened upon this website and she gave it a shot. Using the 3 tablespoons of ACV and Honey in warm water was not particularly appetizing, but after drinking it, she was able to sleep 4 hours and now says that her throat is so much better. I am now a believer in home remedies!"

[YEA]  08/15/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Mono is a virus and every virus I have tried L-lysine on has been susceptible to it. If your daughter is l2 or older, 2000 mgm. mealtime and bedtime is the dosage, if younger decrease to l000mgm. or less at the same times. With a sore throat you will probably need to crush or dissolve for her to swallow them."

09/23/2010: Kimberly from Hackettstown, New Jersey, Usa replies: "If you feel the need to call in a prescription, I highly recommend prednisone. I'm a 17 year old girl who is suffering with mono at the moment. Prednisone is a low dose of steroids which is great for badly swollen glands. I prefer this option more than any of the remedies. The steroids last all night, and all day. 12 hours to be exact."

09/25/2012: Stubzley from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada replies: "Hello, I need to comment on the reply from the 17 year old girl touting the benefits of prednisone. Someone needs to talk to this girl about this seriously dangerous steroid. I have a friend who had to have both of his hips replaced because of this drug. He connected with a support group of people all over North America who have similar afflictions from the side effects of this terrible drug. I understand that some people dont think that they have an alternative which may be true in some cases but to anyone reading this, please research, research, research every possible alternative before resorting to ingesting this nasty medication. Great site!"

10/17/2012: Queen_gie from Oceanside, Ca, United States replies: "I wanted to comment on the 17 year old girls steroid comment also! I had to take steroids b/c I would have died! And the side affects of that drug are horrific! I've had a partial knee replacement and orthoscopic surgery on my other knee and my right wrist, I'm right handed. Eventually I will have to have my wrist fused and luckily I am starting to lose the 120lbs I gained from taking the steroids, which was a very high dose for 8 months, I might get away w/not having any further surgery on my knees! I will be on on disability for the rest of my life; I'm 29. I was on the steroids at the age of 26/27. I WOULD NOT take steroids unless the opposite will result in death! Just my personal opinion from personal experience!"

[YEA]  12/23/2007: Rin from Camas, WA: "My daughter has a bad case of mono. Her tonsils were so swollen they were touching her uvula and she couldn't swallow any pain meds. We were having her gargle with a salt rinse, with no real relief. We called my inlaws and they suggested rinsing with a tsp of bs in lukewarm water followed by the salt rinse every two hours. Amazing! My daughter's tonsils are a little less swollen and it took the pain away for her to sleep for a lot longer last night. I found your site this morning when I was researching bs rinses. The doctor's we saw never even suggested it."

11/04/2011: Mike from Baltimore, Md - Maryland replies: "It was very helpful to find this site. I am a non believer until I try things out myself. I just found out that I had Mono based on everything symptom. Home remedy bs rinse with warm water followed by salt did get met to improve. After the remedy, I was able to take a 4 hour nap, and then again I just was the remedy again. So far my this Mono has taken away 5 days from me. I need this to go away bad. This is one of the worst feeling. Wow..."

Coconut Oil Cure for Mono

Home Remedy Ingredients:

• Virgin Coconut Oil

Consume 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil daily while experiencing mono symptoms. You can take your coconut oil straight, mixed as a sweetener with hot tea, blended into a smoothie, or however else you like. Coconut oil is a powerful general health aid and seems to have antiviral properties. In most cases it will get rid of typical mononucleosis fatigue.

Warning! Some people experience side effects from consuming coconut oil – gas, nausea, diarrhea, gallbladder attacks to name a few – so you might want to start with a small amount of coconut oil for the first few days and see how your body tolerates it.

11/12/2012: Autumn from Pittsburgh, Pa replies: "This past weekend I felt like death. I slept from 6:45 Friday night until 9:00 Saturday morning, got up for an hour, and felt like I hadn't slept all night. I took some of the suggestions here and went to the health food store to get Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and a high dose of Vitamin C - 1,000 mg. I took 2 Vitamin Cs and 2 tsps. of coconut oil with 1 tsp. of honey in water yesterday afternoon and then again this morning. It is miraculous because I have really been struggling for the last 7 months with mono like symptoms on and off and have not been able to kick this. Just when I think I'm getting better after a month of feeling very sick, an infection comes back. There is no doubt that these remedies, in combination, have been tremendously helpful. I was able to make dinner tonight for the first time in a few weeks."

11/13/2012: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Autumn: There are a number of ways to boost the immunity and cure chronic infections like Mono. Stimulating the Thymus Gland is very important. I have posted a comprehensive method for strengthening the Thymus here on E.C. somewhere (sorry, don't have the link).

The Zinc/Vit-A combination would also provide long-term immune building power. The Chinese herb Astragalus is a very good immune herb (a favorite of Dr. Weil). Quality protein in the diet is critical as evidenced by vegetarian's immune deficiencies. The amino acid Lysine is good for inhibiting viral infections."

12/25/2011: Carly from Seattle, Wa - Usa replies: "Pills? Coconut oil Pills?

I take EVCO out of a jar, with a TABLE spoon. I can't imagine being able to put enough in a pill to be effective when I am taking a couple of tablespoons a day of it. This would mean a literal handfull of pills.

I believe that your son was not getting the correct dose of extra virgin coconut oil, or was getting an inferior product.

I had mono as a teenager, and know how miserable it is. My heart goes out to you. I hope your son is doing better now.

PS: I do know that when you have mono you don't even wake up enough to eat.... Let alone take in fluids. It is important to wake up the sick person, and MAKE them take in some nutrition. Hydration is so very important. Being dehydrated all by itself will land you in the hospital with an IV in your arm."

[NAY]  01/16/2012: Mono Mom from Kelowna, Canada replies: "EVCO comes in pill form also, I doubled the dose, he was getting 10 pills a day. Plus 1 Tbsp. Of EVCO in every cup of tea I could get into him beginning it was 2-4 cups a day! It didn't work, product was from a natural, organic store, one of their best products(as they told me) was not worth the $$ I spent. Sorry still not a believer! I am a registered nurse so I know the importance of hydration, he did not have the tiredness at this stage of his mono, so he was always awake and always in pain with swollen tonsils."

[YEA]  02/01/2012: Tammy from Half Moon Bay, California replies: "It works! My 19 year old son has mono, he could hardly breath, so very sick. I steeped some tea, added two tablespoons of coconut oil and one tablespoon of honey and had him drink this, once in the am and at pm. He was able to sleep and was eating and drinking the next morning. He couldn't believe how much better he felt, he said he felt 300 percent better. I'm a believer!"

02/16/2012: Sarahtolson from San Diego, Ca replies: "It may be that your son contracted Strep with his bout with Mono. One can bring on the other, and with strep, while coconut oil would help a little, it would take an enormous amount to kill the infection. Strep needs natural antibiotics like oil of oregano, or Grapeseed Extract. I'm sorry he was so sick. :(

I had Mono when I was in college, and had no idea about natural remedies. It took me 5 weeks to recover. I am in my mid-thirties, and still can get run down with mono like symptoms or strep, if I'm not careful."

[YEA]  02/21/2012: Kayvon from Oklahoma City, Ok, Usa replies: "Coconut oil works WONDERS! Not only does it contain monolaurin which is a natural immune-boosting powerhouse, it taste delicious and can be used on just about everything.

I have concoted a drink that will completely soothe & heal your throat within a matter of days. Take about 6-8 oz of hot, purified water and mix in 2 tablespoons of elderberry concentrate and 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Drink it hot, and within 3 days your throat will be back to normal."

05/04/2012: Angel from Damascus, Va replies: "Coconut oil seems to work for many people however it has never helped me! In fact I get bad stomach cramps if I ingest even a teaspoon and if I use it on my skin it feels like my skin is on fire! I have dealt with Epstein Barr virus for 25 years and the only thing that has ever worked for me is 2000 mg of vitamin ester C per day during my mono like sypmptoms then back to 500 mg a day when pain and swelling are over. In a few cases I had to take 5000 mg for 3 days in a row when I had a liver inflamation problem due to Epstien Barr virus it only took 3 days on 5000 mg and 2 weeks of 2000 mg vit C to get rid of all signs and symptoms of MONO to include returning my liver back to a healthy state.

[YEA]  05/23/2012: Mark from Hagerstown, Md replies: "My daughter had contracted Mono over the weekend and was very tired and sick. I used two teaspoons coconut oil, one teaspoon of local MD honey and hot tea. She sipped it until gone for about 30 minutes and finally fell asleep for about an hour. She started feeling better when she awoke including regaining her appetite. This remedy does work! Thank all you for your comments and suggestions. Though this may not help everyone it does indeed help some. Good luck."

[YEA]  07/14/2012: Coconut Oil Advocate from Austin Tx, Tx replies: "Coconut oil helped my son. He was miserable yesterday. Today after taking coconut oil and also colloidal silver, gargling, neti pot, facial steams (we hit this one from all angles) he is remarkably if not miraculously better."

07/15/2012: Brian from San Luis Obispo, Ca replies: "What type of coconut oil did you use? I was diagnosed with mono last night and this is day 6 now. I have a severe sore throat and my tonsils are covered in white. I was looking around and found spectrum organic coconut oil."

09/21/2012: Izzysay from Houston, Tx replies: "I tried Coconut oil mixed with ACV with a warm cup of water, and I felt a lot better. (It was really gross though) I was sick for a week with mono and the first days are just dreadful! I have to say home remedies are the only way to end it fast along with plenty of rest. I took a week off of work and school and now feeling almost 100% I drank warm home squeezed orange juice 1-2 times a day. My doctor had prescribed me a magic mouth wash as well and that numb my throat which helped with the swollen. Thanks everyone for sharing their remedies, really does help!!"

07/24/2011: Amung from Nashville, Tn replies: "23july2011 -

i really hope the coconut oil works. I purchased a jar today. it's crazy expensive.

I've been sick for five weeks (i had strep first), then tested positive for mono. It's insane how sick you get with this stupid virus.

my recipe is two teaspoons of coconut oil. One teaspoon of honey. Three ounces blue gatorade. mix the honey and coconut oil together. Melt for about 15/20 seconds. Mix in the gatorade. Drink immediately. (tastes like a margarita).

the coconut oil will soldify quickly, so drink fast if you using a cold beverage.

I'll repost if it does work and I'll repost if it doesn't work."

09/05/2011: Catsass from Phoenix, Arizona, Usa replies: "So? Did it work or not? My son thinks he has mono."

09/07/2011: Joe from Blackwood, Nj replies: "Almost three weeks ago my daughter started to not feel very well. Headaches, sore throat, congestion, body aches, fatigue, etc. We went to the doctors, and the diagnosis was a sinus infection. Augmenten was prescribed. Ten days went by and several trips back to the doctors and no relief for my daughter. Finally the doctor ordered a blood test, and it came back positive for mono. They said there was nothing we can give her for mono it just has to run its course, and it could be 4 to 6 weeks or more before she feels ok.

She has taken virgin coconut oil for approx. 4 days. Twice daily along with some vitamin c. Her turn around is nothing short of remarkable. We've read and heard horror stories associated with mono. Months and months of lingering sickness. Thanks to this site and VCO, my daughter will be back to school next week. We are believers. I am sure results vary for each individual but, definitely worth a try."

08/22/2012: Tracey from Warren, Mi replies: "Thank you so much for the Coconut Oil drink mix! My daughter is 16 and has been fighting a virus for over a month. They tested her for Strep and Mono, both came up negative in July. Last week Mono came back positive. The steroids were not working after 3 days, I took her back in and they gave her 2 shots of steroids and advised to continue Motrin every 6 hours. The next day I found this drink mix and gave it to her last night. She woke up feeling the best in a while, more energy, her throat wasn't hurting as much. She still has 1 more day of steroids. At first she didn't want to drink it, then changed her mind. She even makes this drink herself! We know this isn't an overnight cure, but if it cuts the healing time in 1/2; I'm happy about that! I plan on giving her this for a few weeks until she is fully recovered. Thank you so much! I can't believe all the many uses for coconut oil :0)"

11/29/2010: Anita from Victoria, Australia replies: "Yes, you can completely trust Coconut Oil. It's antifungal, antibacterial, etc. Will fix everything. Take internally & mix in your food, as well as externally/topically on your skin."

12/01/2010: Merryanne from Orange City, Florida, Usa replies: "I also enjoy the benefits of coconut oil. I am nearly 64 YO, and I use it for all my cooking, for my body moisturizer, my hand cream, my face cream, I have only been using it about 6 months and my cousin who is about 3 years older than me told me I look 5 years younger, and asked if that is why my hands look so so smooth, and my face is fresh and radiant?? You cannot buy anything on the market better for your total body's skin care than coconut oil. Now I do take minerals and vitamins, but I always have, but I have seen many changes in my skin and weight loss with VCO. Merryanne in FL"

05/02/2011: Msmom11 from San Antonio, Texas, United States replies: "Have you tried the coconut oil? I am willing to give it a try on my adolescent daughter who is on her second case of mono.... In 15 months. Three years ago, another daughter of mine was the first to get mono while she was in the 2nd grade. Her case was milder than my teenage daughter who has had a very rough recovery since being diagnosed the first time in Jan 2010. I am trying to boost her immune system. I wish an easy recovery for you and your family as it impacts the entire family."

07/23/2012: Jordan from Wellington, New Zealand replies: "Hi, I'm 19 and have glandular fever, as I havn't been able to do much else I have spent a lot of time researching. Please do not worry about your younger children as from what I have read in various places it generally only affects teenagers and young adults severly, for young children and elderly it generally just presents as flu like symptoms and is usually gone in 1-2 weeks. Interestingly many state the reason for the rising rate of teenagers and young adults contracting this illness in its debilitating form is due to rising health standards and protection of young children which means people are not catching the illness as small children when it would only have mild effects. So it appears that it is a good thing for younger children to catch it as this then gives them some imunity from it when they are older. I myself am in the 3rd week of my illness and after being very very ill for 1 week in hospital, I have now made a rapid recovery through using Apple Cider Vinegar, vitamin C, homeopathic remedies and a herbal mixture that includes herbs such as echinacea and olive leaf extract, once I have finished this course of immune boosting remedies I intend to move on to remedies focussing on energy and liver support (as mine was severly affected and I became jaudiced for 3 days)."

His doctor had filed disability paperwork because he was going to be out at least one to two months she thought, but he was relaesed for work this past week and is TOTALLY symtom free!!!! She was shocked because she had never had any patients recover that quickly, she ensured us that she would encourage others with mono to give it a try."

So I began to look for mono cures since currently I have Mono, I came upon here and I read about the coconut oil. Im already trying that, its my second day, I had Apple sauce, Coconut oil, and a lil honey for flavor. My Throat is just as imflamed as your Daughters and I am 17. Couple of questions though, when she took it was it hard for her to swallow? Because when I take mine I have to choke it down and it hurts very very much.

12/07/2010: Megan from Everett, Wa replies: "Hello,
We are just home from the ER and my husband is asleep in bed with mono. He is in a lot of pain and so very fatigued. The doctor said that he can expect to be out for 4-6 weeks. He was do discouraged and frustrated when hearing this. I feel awful for him! I just started researching as soon as we got home and found this site. Very thankful! We are healthy people and always use natural cures when feeling a little under the weather. He has a very sensitive system, so tylenol, ibuprofen etc. are not preferred. I have a lot of these remedies at home already, but am curious how much someone with mono should be taking? What would be a good daily regimen for my husband? Also, with the coconut oil we have expeller pressed organic coconut oil that we use for cooking. Is it okay to just have him take this or does it have to be virgin?

Thanks so much for any tips or advice that you all are able to offer! With gratitude,
Megan"

It would return every 2 weeks like clockwork. It wasn't until the 4th time that we got the mono diagnosis. We've been doing lots of vitamin C, probiotic, acai, and an immune system builder blend from the chiropractor. She feels fine right now, but I'm concerned that it will return. What can I do to help her stay well? Will the coconut oil, ACV, or other methods mentioned here help her build her resistance? We were told "get plenty of rest and fluids...she will always have it" by the doctor. Aaargh! Thanks for any suggestions. Please feel free to email me personally with any info you have."

05/26/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Cocoadoce...VCO contains Lauric acid, which is easily converted by the body to monolaurin when ingested or when it is used topically. But that isn't the only good chemical component that VCO contains -- it also has caproic acid, caprylic acid and myristic acid -- which are all anti-microbials and protective to the body.

VCO consists of 40%-50% Lauric acid, a saturated medium-chain fatty acid.

Read about it here:

Benefits of VCO

VCO is very protective and safe for the body, which is why it has been used in babyfood since the 1960s. It is also used in food given to hospital patients with intestinal trauma or after an intestinal operation.

Therefore, VCO is the best form to take. VCO also helped me to get rid of my own candida problem. I cook with VCO, don't use vegetable oils at all now."

05/19/2013: Lisa from Kutztown, Pa Usa replies: "After doing some research online, I am 100% sure I had Mono this weekend. Wow! This was the most painful thing I have ever experienced and wish I never get it again! I did not visit the Dr. because I try to deal with medical things naturally. I tried many, many things to relieve my sore throat but the one thing that seemed to help the most was advil. I do know about coconut oil. I started taking it last night but haven't seen an improvement in the sore throat. I will make sure to keep using it though. One drink that worked well for me was honey with lemon water. I only had one lemon so I ended up using the mango/peach homemade vitamin water I had in my frig. I heated that up for about 40mins in the microwave and added honey to it. That worked just as well. I also ended up getting a throat spray from the health food store. Echinacea and Goldenseal Propolis. This seemed to help a little bit. But be warned if you get this... It tastes awful!! Lol It tastes worse than Nyquil and I always thought that stuff was NASTY!! Lol I would use the spray as a last resort. The other things I had been trying were... Salt water rinse, Immune Balance Sinus (nose was a little stuffy-producing post nasal drip), Roxalia for sore throat and hoarseness, sinus relief tincture, nasal wash, peroxide in the ears, Zand's zinc lozengers in orange and elderberry. Also drank throat coat tea with chamomile and elderberry/echinachea tea with honey. Now I am drinking my coconut water to replenish my electrolytes. And I will definitely be taking more of the coconut oil.

For the people who aren't quite sure about the coconut oil- coconut oil is very beneficial. I found an e-book on amazon about the many benefits of coconut oil. I personally use coconut oil to grease my cooking pans. Especially, when I make eggs. You can't even taste it when your food is done. You can brush your teeth with it. You can also rinse your mouth with it after brushing. I read that helps to whiten your teeth. I saw a recipe online to make your own deoderant using coconut oil. I've also been told many times to eat it when I am sick. So it is a very beneficial item! :)

Lastly, I pray that every one of you who has been touched with Mono gets better quickly!! This is one illness that is extremely painful and not fun to have!! Be well all!! :)"
