Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 > It says on here though to add the drops to a glass of water or juice. Does it matter how much water or juice I give? The more liquid, the more diluted it is. Best is to give it with lemonade or orange juice, because those will mask the taste the best. When I use it for myself, I use a very small amount of water, just enough to get it down. This makes for a VERY STRONG mixture, but I like to get it over with quickly.

You might want to alternate teh GSE with another active yeast killer like uva ursi or oil of oregano. Also, increase your probiotics.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 > How long can you give grapefruit seed extract for? Until the yeast is gone, usually a week or so. You can give it for longer if the yeast is really bad, or if you are doing something [like anti-virals] which tends to increase yeast. > Do you need to use different yeast eliminators so they remain effective? Many people report that rotating the yeast killers is most effective. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I am trying this for likely yeast problems. Anyone use it before? it tastes awful and don’t' know what the best way is to give it to him. Any suggestions much appreciated!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 This has to be the most VILE stuff on earth!! Truly! First off, do NOT put it into a carbonated beverage as that further breaks it up and spreads it throughout your mouth. I take it and I think the best way to do it is to put it in a small amount of juice and then - tequilla style - bolt it down in one swig, being sure to have it on your tongue for as short a period as possible. If you do taste it, think chasing it with some lysol might remove the taste. Actually, what got it out of my mouth was (yes indeed) tang. FYI - it did upset my stomach a bit so I'd start slowly and every other day at first - if that. Watch your sugar intake as you'll defeat the purpose of taking it. My doc told me that it is only beneficial if you have LOTS of probiotics with it - and he suggested just eating lots of yogurt. I'm middle eastern so I make my own - let me know if you want the recipe. It's not hard. Good luck! Marina > > > I am trying this for likely yeast problems.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Use 1-2 drops in a glass of juice...make sure it is stirred, do not touch directly onto tongue...nasty. Take 1 No-Phenol digestive enzyme 30 minutes after the grapefruit seed extract. The two are a powerful yeast killing combo. Make sure to take probiotics, but not from dairy if possible. Healthy Start Natren (has to be refrigerated) in some apple sauce is good. Yeast die off can be bad. Mimics when yeast is high, so sometimes difficult to tell which is which. Behavior may get more agressive, excema, self-stimming, headaches, achiness, fever, and even throwing up. All signs of die-off. Fluffy, light colored stool, or loose watery stool. Give 1/4 tsp baking soda...will absorb the toxins released from the yeast dying quickly. Makes child much more comfortable. Activated charcoal will also work, but baking soda is just as effective. -------------- Original message -------------- From: " marina3029 " <philipmary@...> > This has to be the most VILE stuff on earth!!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Depending on the child's age, I'd suggest trying to teach him to swall ow capsules. GSE tastes really bad. The other option that I've had great success with for yeast is candex (Pure Essence brand). It seems to do a better job of getting rid of the yeast, doesn't have the nasty taste, and doesn't cause the kind of dieoff that GSE does. > > Use 1-2 drops in a glass of juice...make sure it is stirred, do not touch directly onto tongue...nasty. > > Take 1 No-Phenol digestive enzyme 30 minutes after the grapefruit seed extract.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I was told by a DAN nutritionist to rub a drop each on the soles of the feet or the inner wrists. cathy albisa <cathy@...> wrote: I am trying this for likely yeast problems.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Someone mentioned that they are using candex for yeast management--- is this something that you add to milk? My son can't swallow pills yet - can you taste this if you add it to something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 The nice thing about candex is that it doesn't have much taste (unlike GSE). I know parents who add it to juice or rice milk also. My kids cannot have dairy, but regardless I don't think most supps dissolve well in it.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Grapefruit seed extract Has been proven to be effective against over 800 strains of viruses and bacteria, 100 strains of fungi, plus a great number of single-celled parasites. No other antimicrobial can make such claims. Despite destroying harmful intestinal parasites, it does not significantly harm the normal bowel flora. For some time in foreign countries, grapefruit seed extract has been used as a broad spectrum antibiotic, antifungal, antiprotozoan, antiviral, antiseptic, disinfectant, and as a preservative in cosmetics. In South America, it has long been used instead of chlorine in swimming pools and sewage treatment plants as well, as in treating drinking water, since chlorine does not kill a variety of pathogens, including Giardia. In Peru, it is used to disinfect agricultural products. The FDA is finally acknowledging that it is as effective as any other amebicide now available and perhaps more effective, without causing the side effects that chlorine is known to cause. When travelling abroad, including Mexico, it is proving to be an exceptional and simple alternative to the more harsh methods of killing parasites and other harmful organisms. Animals also respond well to grapefruit seed extract since it does not cause the side effects common in chemical dewormers. The extract should never be used full strength when applied to the skin. The standard dilution is 33% extract and 67% glycerin. For some applications, it is best used with almond, olive, sesame, or avocado oils instead of water. Keep it away from the eyes. A few drops can be added to household cleaners and soaps for a germ-free cleanser. By using eight drops to a gallon of water, it makes a safe and effective food wash that increases the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by as much as 400%. The extract should not be used full strength when taken internally. Start with drop drop dissolved in glycerin, and then mixed with a glass of water or fruit juice. Slowly increase according to your reactions. Work up to about eight drops (or a corresponding number of pills) in a full glass of water two or three times a day until symptoms disappear. When the organisms you are trying to kill begin to die, the toxins are released, leading you to feel some discomfort or tiredness. If the symptoms become too uncomfortable, reduce the extract a little and begin to increase it again when you are feeling better. Since grapefruit seed extract can be very bitter, the debittered powder used in capsules may be a preferable choice. For children, a capsule can be opened and the powder mixed into juice. In pill form, it can take 100-300 mg. per day to be effective for adults. One or two drops in a glass of water once or twice a day can act as a preventative against traveler's diarrhea. The extract is nontoxic and environmentally friendly. Caution should be used if there is a sensitivity to citrus. The extract is not absorbed into the intestinal tissue, so can be safely taken for long periods of time, as in the cases of Giardia and yeast infections where it may take months to eliminate http://www.innvista.com/health/microbes/parasite/treatpar.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
