Grapefruit seed extract

[Guest guest]

> 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.

I would keep it for at most another week. You might want to alternate

teh GSE with another active yeast killer like uva ursi or oil of oregano.

Also, increase your probiotics.

> 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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I was told by a DAN nutritionist to rub a drop each on the soles of the feet or

the inner wrists.

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??

[Guest guest]

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.

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

IF you can the child to drink it...it would be like 1-2 drops to start

with.
