Re: GSE

[Guest guest]

Here's a news article that puts it into perspective................

____________________________________________

Natural antibiotics to the rescue

Body Electric

A study conducted at Cornell University found that spices such as garlic,

oil of oregano, onion, and allspice kill every bacterium tested, even

anthrax. (Billing J, Sherman PW, Antimicrobial functions of spices,

Quarterly Review Biology 73: March, 1998.) These and other natural products

even kill drug-resistant strains. The news comes at a welcome time due to

the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria attributed to overprescribing

these drugs.

Garlic exhibits strong activity against bacteria, as well as against fungi

(yeast) and viruses. Garlic eradicates vancomycin and ampicillin-resistant

enterococci bacteria, a germ that is a growing cause of mortality in

hospitals. (Jonkers D et al, Antibacterial effect of garlic and omeprazole

on Helicobacter pylori, Antimicrobial Agents & Chemotherapy 43: 3045-54,

1999.) (Unal R, et al, Novel quantitative assays for estimating the

antimicrobial activity of fresh garlic juice, J Food Protection 64:189-94,

2001.) In one report, infectious disease specialists concede that garlic may

be effective in the treatment of middle ear infection given that antibiotic

drugs are failing. (Klein JO, Management of acute otitis media in an era of

increasing antibiotic resistance, Int'l J Ped Otorhinology 5: 15-17S, 1999.)

The findings of two studies presented at the last annual meeting of the

American College of Nutrition revealed that oil of oregano is as effective

as pharmaceutical antibiotics at killing bacteria. Oil of oregano was

recently tested against drug-resistant Staphylococcus bacteria and was found

to be equally effective as streptomycin, penicillin and vancomycin. (Preuss

HG, Oregano oil may protect against drug-resistant bacteria, Science Daily,

October 11, 2001.) One study showed that oregano completely inhibited the

growth of 25 germs such as Staphylococcus aureas, Escherichia coli, Yersinia

enterocolitica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [Journal Food Protection, July

2001] Oregano has been shown to be effective in eradicating intestinal

parasites in humans. [Phytotherapy Research, May 2000]. Just one part wild

oregano oil in 4000 dilution sterilizes contaminated water. [London Times,

May 8, 2001].

Tea tree oil is active against many germs, including streptococci, E. coli,

and various fungi, such as Candida. In a study of 30 patients who had

infections that were resistant to a common antibiotic, one-third were

completely cured by tea tree oil compared to just 13 percent who received

conventional treatment. In another rigorous trial of various treatments for

herpes cold sores, tea tree oil was as effective as the synthetic drug

acyclovir. After just 10 minutes exposure to tea tree oil, there were

profound changes in bacterial cells leading to their destruction.

Olive Leaf Extract also kills a broad range of pathogens and it has been

found to strengthen the body's immune system. It prevents such viral

diseases as HIV, Epstein-Barr, herpes, and influenza. It alleviates sore

throats, chronic sinusitis, skin disease, and pneumonia, and it eliminates

symptoms of all types of infections, including yeast, fungal, bacterial,

viral, and other parasitic protozoan. It effectively treats chronic fatigue

syndrome, athlete's foot, arthritis, psoriasis even the common cold. It does

all this with no side effects and with a complete recovery rate among most

patients treated.

Grapefruit Seed extract (Gse) is an extremely effective broad-spectrum

antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic compound that has been

tested and proven by universities and countless laboratories throughout the

world to be at least 10-100 times more effective at killing germs than

Colloidal Silver, Iodine, Tea Tree Oil, and Clorox Bleach. Gse has been

proven to be totally nontoxic to humans and animals and is very safe and

effective for internal and external applications. It is endorsed by WHO (The

World Health Organization) and is hailed by FDA researchers and medical

people all over the world for it's activity against viruses, bacteria,

fungus, and parasites. It has been proven that Gse kills over 800 assorted

bacteria and virus strains, 100 fungus strains and a great many parasites

that infect humans and animals.

A study in the Philippines carried out by the government's San Lazaro

Hospital and pharmaceutical giant United Laboratories since 1989, revealed

that coconut chemical lauric acid inhibits, delays and reduces the spread of

HIV virus. Coconut oil is about 50% lauric acid, the same antiviral present

in mother's milk. I'll elaborate on lauric acid and its derivative

monolaurin in a future column. Coconuts also contain about 6% capric acid

which has also demonstrated significant activity against Herpes simplex-2,

chlamydia, and HIV-1. Coconut oil in a reduced carb diet instead of

polyunsaturated oils will further reduce body fat, reduce cholesterol

deposits, and increase your energy levels in addition to affording a measure

of protection from infection. The suggested minimum of 25 grams of lauric

acid per day amounts to 4 tbsp of coconut oil. Or, one could drink 12 ounces

of canned coconut milk and also get about 25 grams of lauric acid.

P.S. I have just seen a testimonial of someone who used coconut oil to

experience herxheimer (CLEANSING) reactions while reducing a systemic

candida infection (candidiasis is VERY serious). Check the group

Grapefruit seed extract, you can buy it at a health food store. I

don't know if it comes in other forms, but I bought it in a small

bottle [which I thought was VERY expensive, like $10 for a small

bottle], it is like thick liquid. The label said 3-5 drops twice each

day, but I gave my son 3 drops in the morning and he was wired all day

and had trouble falling asleep that night. So it is major phenol,

which is why I recommend starting with one drop in the morning and see

how your child tolerates it.

It does have a phenol effect, so I would suggest you try giving 1-2

drops in the morning, and see how your son tolerates it.

>> I am also giving him

probiotics - can I give these with GSE or will the GSE kill them off?

I think GSE only acts on yeast, but not sure about that. I don't give

probiotics because my kids do not tolerate them, even with enzymes.

>> I have been giving him GSE for two weeks and he looks and feels

awful! But I suppose this could be die off - I know he has a yeast

issue, because he had it in his mouth. And actually he is now

starting to look a little better.

I would say that based on this description, yes it was die off. I am

glad he is looking better!

> Also, something strange is going on with my NT (sort of) son: I have

been giving him fish oil supps, EP oil, and probiotics for a month and

GSE for 2 weeks and he has suddenly put on weight! He used to be

worryingly skinny and you could see all his ribs. Now you can't.

He's actually starting to look a bit chubby. His diet hasn't changed.

What is going on?

Is he getting too FAT? Or just gaining weight? I would say if he is

just gaining weight, then would be a good sign. If he had a yeast

issue and the probiotics/GSE helped him with that, he might now be

actually absorbing the nutrients contained in the food, so he is

gaining weight like he should be. But then if he is getting FAT, then

maybe he now absorbing extra sugars or fats or whatever.

Enzymes can help stabilize a weight issue, so you can consider that.

Are you seeing any die off reactions.

I have started taking these drops a couple of days ago.

I feel so very tired. Last night I excused myself from the dinner table

to go to sleep and slept over 12 hours.

My skin especially on my arms and back feels so itchy.

I can't get over the exhaustion.

Is this typical in die off for an adult?

I don't have any experience with GSE, but my initial thought is you

could also be having an allergic reaction. I don't think that is

likely from what little I've read about GSE, but you might cut back

on the dose a day or two just to be safe. Hopefully, it's just die-

off and the stuff is really doing what is intended. Maybe others can

give better input.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

you know my lymph nodes are also swollen.

I am feeling headachy.

Feels like the flu.

I hope it is die off. Now I know

what my son goes through .

First time in my life I have addressed possible

gut bugs for myself.

Thanks for posting,

That sounds pretty typical, . I get a rash on the back of my arms and

little weird pimples here and there and I sleep a lot. You may also want to

watch for intense sugar cravings. The yeast fight harder after they start

dying off.

I knew that even if I had a truck full of sweets it still could not satisfy it.

So I settled for a mango.

Dana,

How do you get the GSE down him?

Well, with No-Fenol enzyme, I am down to the standard child dose of 3

drops, 3 times each day, along with No-Fenol, and my kids have NO

yeast issue. Because your son is older than my kids, you might want

to start with low dose, and then if he tolerates it okay, move up to

maybe 5 drops, 3 times per day.

I mix it into honey, along with all the other supplements, which I

know would feed the yeast as well as kill it, but it works for my

kids, they no longer have a yeast issue.

What is GSE? Does it work as well as Toeuff? HAs

anyone had their child take vancomycin then sporonox

while also taking toeuff?

Hi heidi

Give the GSE first and probiotics later.

That's what little I know.

Someone else will have to address the rest.

Kris

[ ] GSE

Can you give GSE and probiotics at the same time? I never even thought

about this before, and that is what I have been doing. Also, do the

enzymes affect either the GSE or the probiotics (or other supplements

for that matter)?

I'm sure this has been discussed a zillion times - I apologize in

advance, but I'd appreciate responses.

Also, what does everyone use for a sweetener (besides vegetable

glycerin)? Honey is out since it is so phenolic.

Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi

I checked with the supplier of our Probiotic, BioKult (UK) and they said fine

to take with GSE, will not destroy probiotic. I guess you need to check with

manufacturer.

We also give these with HNI enzymes with no apparent problems with either.

Hi Mandi,

Do you know the best source for GSE in the UK? Sorry, I'm being lazy

but wondered if anyone else had done the legwork sorting out quality,

cost etc.

I give both. One capsule of probiotic, 3 drops GSE

per day.

You can try No-Fenol for the honey if you want. Why are you concerned

about sweetener? Is it for yeast issues?

My bottle of GSE indicates it contains vegetable glycerine (67%) and

citricidal (33%).

Your local health food store should carry it. I personally use Nutribiotic

GSE.

Ann

[Guest guest]

--Kim,

We use Nutribiotic brand and we get it at the health food store. It

comes in liquid or tablets. The liquid is strong like the strongest

grapefruit you ever tasted times 100 but for my 3.5 year old I mix it

with a tablespoon of juice in a syring and pop it in his mouth.

Kim,

I think NutriBiotics is the best brand. I don't know who else makes

them actually. They might be the only ones. You can find them in

health food stores. They come in drops or tablets.
