Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Here is information sent to me several months ago by someone I trust. From PubMed 1: Pharmazie 1999 Jun;54(6):452-6 Aspects of the antimicrobial efficacy of grapefruit seed extract and its relation to preservative substances contained. von Woedtke T, Schluter B, Pflegel P, Lindequist U, Julich WD. Institute of Pharmacy, Ernst Moritz Arndt University, Greifswald, Germany. The antimicrobial efficacy as well as the content of preservative agents of six commercially available grapefruit seed extracts were examined. Five of the six extracts showed a high growth inhibiting activity against the test germs Bacillus subtilis SBUG 14, Micrococcus flavus SBUG 16, Staphylococcus aureus SBUG 11, Serratia marcescens SBUG 9, Escherichia coli SBUG 17, Proteus mirabilis SBUG 47, and Candida maltosa SBUG 700. In all of the antimicrobial active grapefruit seed extracts, the preservative benzethonium chloride was detected by thin layer chromatography. Additionally, three extracts contained the preserving substances triclosan and methyl parabene. In only one of the grapefruit seed extracts tested no preservative agent was found. However, with this extract as well as with several self-made extracts from seed and juiceless pulp of grapefruits (Citrus paradisi) no antimicrobial activity could be detected (standard serial broth dilution assay, agar diffusion test). Thus, it is concluded that the potent as well as nearly universal antimicrobial activity being attributed to grapefruit seed extract is merely due to the synthetic preservative agents contained within. Natural products with antimicrobial activity do not appear to be present. ~~~~~ Okay my personal comments are that if it is effective in actually killing the yeast, perhaps it does not matter what is actually the agent doing the killing. But that should be your own personal decision. It is nice to have an OTC option for yeast treatment. I did try GSE for my son, but the phenol content was too high for him. Your child may be different. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi Suzi, Thank you for the great information! Mom is doing well except for weakness from inactivity, dehydration and anemia. I keep trying to make her get up on her own and then walk but give in most of the time and help her up. I can't do anything about her anemia until the end of Feb except to give her raisins, spirulina and food with iron in it. No B-12 shots or iron supplements are allowed while she is taking the treatments but can't be specific on the list. We keep trying to keep her drinking water but it is an uphill battle for unless we hand it to her, she seems to forget even though she says her mouth is dry and she is thirsty. Other than this, she is doing great without any pain. I actually feel we have her cancer (lungs, liver, back, chest and hip), under control but we are only guessing at this point. I do know her doctor had her mentally buried long before this. Her appetite is great and her weight is holding well. Thank you, Baugh ****************** yep! and yep!.... How is mom doing?????

Thank you, Baugh ******************** Dental Rinse. For Healthy Gums and Fresh Breath: Stir 3 drops of NutriBiotic into 2 oz. or more of water. Vigorously swish a small amount of the water for 10 seconds or more, 1 to 2 times daily. Also works as an additive for Waterpik® type units. Add 3 to 4 drops to the water reservoir. Always dilute. Nail Treatment.Dilute NutriBiotic with water or alcohol(5 to 10 drops/tablespoon).
