GSE comes in two forms: liquid and powder. The liquid is more versatile and perhaps a little more effective, and since it has a bitter taste it is usually added to fruit juice or herbal teas before being consumed. The powder is encapsulated, but, if desired, can be opened and put in to food or drink, and has an acceptable taste.
General Information
Grapefruit seed extract is a very powerful and effective antimicrobial
agent and has been used successfully to treat a wide variety of health
concerns. It can be taken with water, juice or herbal tea, or used
as a food wash, toothbrush cleaner, nasal rinse, and many, many more
uses. Grapefruit seed extract is very bitter, so we suggest
taking it with fruit juice or herbal tea to mask the flavor.
For those who want to use it for internal uses, grapefruit seed extract can cause a major die-off of organisms resulting in a temporary toxic reaction. If you are using it for candida, for instance, we suggest starting slowly and gradually increasing the number of drops used.
The overuse and misuse of antibiotics both in humans and livestock is causing very serious health problems because the bacteria that had successfully been killed by antibiotics have now developed mutant strains that are resistant to nearly all of the drugs used. Not only have our immune systems been compromised by the antibiotics, but also the new strains of bacteria are nearly impossible to treat using conventional drugs.
People undergoing surgeries at hospitals are at considerable risk for getting an infection. A decade ago it was reported that 1,000,000 patients developed post-surgical infections, and the numbers have been increasing. Traditional drugs are nearly totally ineffective in treating life-threatening staph and strep infections. We strongly advise pre-dosing with grapefruit seed extract for three or four days prior to surgery and for a week or so following the procedure.
This should greatly lessen your chances of getting a bacterial infection.
