I have GSE but I use it only in my homemade housecleaning brew.

Carol, all my readings had been positive about GSE for Candida, too.

It was a surprise to read something negative about it.

you can't handle butter? it was the only dairy thing besides cheese I

could handle. get yourself some gee it does not have any milk solids in

it it is pure butter fat.

Carol, you need to ensure you are getting enough omega-3 and the oil

soluble vitamins in order for your body to handle the fat properly.

All of them work together.

The other thing to consider is that coconut oil is killing off high

numbers of yeast and that could cause the runs too.

Yep. That's the way I looked at it. I backed off the coconut oil

just a little bit but not entirely, because I assumed there was

something in my gut that needed to be purged, and the coconut oil

likely helped.

[Guest guest]

Yes. Its Ok to use that. But I think it is more expensive than other things you

could use.

Jerry, I just did a search for the GSE and found a 2 oz. bottle for $6.47. Do

they sell a larger size? How long does 2 oz. last?

Believe it or not the 2 oz will last months. I sprout with it, use

it in a spray bottle after cleaning the sink, put a few drops in the

smoothies if raw foods are in it -- and I now soak ALL my salad

greens in it for a while.

I've had it a number of weeks and there's more than half left in the

bottle. I think the Liquid God Brand is a little stronger. But all

of them MUST be used in a very diluted form. (A few drops in water,

some brands up to 10 or 15 drops.) Liquid Goldcomes with a few

sheets with the 200 uses when you order online. The " Nutribiotic " is

the most popular, it seems. Their red and white bottle is the one

I've seen in stores since I became aware of this.

They do have a large size bottle at The Vitamin Shoppe (see link

below to view), which should last forever, lol. That's a big chain,

but a very nice store, very much nicer than other chains, at least

the one near here is. Very glassy and the choices of what to stock

in which brands are very good. From my 15 years reading on diet

etc., I agree with most of their decisions about what to make

available.

The 32 oz. bottle of Nutribiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract is in about

the middle of this page, click to view -- they have it at 25% off

right now online :

I heard that rumor, too. I liked this site because it tells SOME of

the real studies. Here's the URL for it and also the list that they

show at the bottom of it of places that really did study it (not the

pesticides, lol). I guess people are afraid that SEED extract has the

remnants of the skins (which are otherwise un-useable but possibley

included in GSE, in other words, " recycled " to stretch the dollar).

The other side of that reasoning is that the process require such a

high heat/pressure that MOST ALL the compounds in the grapefruit are

destroyed and changed. For example, the naringin present (which

conflicts with some medications, making them absorb too fast and

better -- in effect changing the actual dose amounts that patients are

taking) IS NO LONGER there ( 0.1 % remains only) once the process of

making GSE is finished.

Anyway, here's the URL and the list from it that tells who did study

GSE :

Thank you for posting the article. If it does work keeping mold of sprouts,

there's still probably little danger. As a matter of fact, it works for

that even if you soak for a few minutes (at any time during the sprouting

process) and then rinse good with water. There's hardly any left to consume

once

you rinse.

Then, too, some of the major brands are available in nearly every health

store. With the internet going strong, I'd imagine there's plenty of

opportunity for checking out GSE by many people.

Of course, greased-out fast food french fries are commonly available, too,

and they're not the healthiest product you could consume.

Diane,

I take it in Water or Juice(it tastes better).I use more drops than it

calls for my weight and I take it 3 times per day.There is also GSE

Plus Capsules if you can't bear the taste.

If you have candida, you should not be drinking juice of any kind at

all. Juice is full of sugar and fungus and will stop you getting

better.

I tried it for a while once. I don't think it did anything for candida

but it did seem to knock out bacteria quite well. For a couple weeks I

felt extremely well, then went back to feeling the way I was before that.

When I was first ill and didn't know what was going on with me, GSE was the

first thing I tried for about 6-8 weeks. It had no healing effect on me that I

can remember.

==>The reasons are many. The antifungals recommended: 1) have longer

histories of success and have been around longer (grapefuit seed is

fairly new on the market by comparison); 2) have more research done on

them; 3) are the least processed (squeezing a hard grapefruit seed to

extract anything is hard to do), etc. And from my experience with

hundreds of candida sufferers most do better on the antifungals

recommended.

I don't know about killing good bacteria, but I've been taking it

almost every day for 5 mo now and it has never made my oral thrush

worse. I am wondering though if it is doing anything at all. I

thought I read somewhere ?? that one should take capsules and I've

got the liquid. Maybe I should switch. I dunno --- sometimes I'm

just at my wit's end about this all.

Hi Kari...

that's great news! If you don't mind, I have about 3 questions:

1. What's the brand name of the GSE you are using?

2. Have you had any herxing from the candida die-off?

3. Did you start at a lower dose and work up?

It's Nutribiotic. I had little bit of die off issues - and the

stuff tastes bitter - then I came up with the shot glass. I did

start off with about 5-8 drops, 3x a day in regular water or about 2

oz. of grapefruit juice, but I thought I might be drinking too much

juice (I never drink the stuff!) I was seeing signs of dieoff in the

bathroom and was really happy (can we really be " happy " about poop?)

I had a really bad rash come up on my neck about three months ago and

keeps coming back along with the nodules developing on my head. You

can put the GSE directly on the bumps (diluted) and it did dry up and

went away sooner. The other rash hasn't completely gone away yet,

but I'm hoping within a couple of months - totally gone. The two

dermatologists I went to (after I cried to the receptionist about

walking around with a distinct " creepy crud " on my entire neck) had

no idea how it came about and the one had never seen anything like it

before (I told him to take pictures, post it on the internet, and see

what kind of response he got - didn't think it was funny) that's

when I started doing the research on the skin conditions. My

accupuncturist thought it was " wet " and it was either mold or yeast

related but I've got to be careful with the herbal remedies (I have

trouble swallowing pills and keeping them down). I was really

optimistic when I found out about the liquid GSE.

It does seem to be working for me when a lot of other stuff hadn't.

+++Hi . The previous message describing grapefuit seed extract is

all the information you need. Doctors aren't the best people to

perscribe antifungals nor supplements, since they only get about 5-8

hours training in nutrition, and they think you can cure candida by

killing it off. They often perscribe supplements not needed,

particularly on this program. What supplements did your doctor

perscribe?

I did, but it slowed down my phase 1 liver metabolism too much. Other people

have been fine with it though. It worked pretty good.
