Demonstrated
to be effective against 800 different types of viruses, bacteria,
yeasts and fungi, grapefruit-seed extract is a powerful weapon in
disease prevention and treatment. This versatile extract consists
of oils obtained when grapefruit seeds and membranes are ground
up and combined with carrier substances (glycerine and distilled
water). Grapefruit-seed extract is high in vitamins C and E and
also contains substances that help the body's cells absorb these
nutrients efficiently. In fact, the vitamins C and E in grapefruit-seed
extract are absorbed 20-50 times more effectively than the same
vitamins found in other foods. The extract also contains a high
concentration of bioflavonoids. These important substances have
an antioxidant action and can neutralize the free radicals that
can damage cells and cause a number of illnesses.
Using grapefruit-seed
extract
- For internal
use, put 8 drops of grapefruit-seed extract in a glass of water.
Stir it thoroughly so the extract doesn't sink to the bottom of
the glass. Drink the extract in small sips. Do not take more than
3 glasses a day.
- The above
solution can also be used as a mouth rinse or gargle.
- For external
use, apply grapefruit-seed extract directly to the skin.
Note :
Undiluted grapefruit-seed extract should never be applied directly
to mucous membranes (such as the lining of the mouth) because it
could be caustic.
Therapeutic
effect
Grapefruit-seed extract works both externally and internally against
viruses, yeast, bacteria and fungi by killing germs. At the same
time grapefruit-seed extract stimulates the immune system. Another
benefit is that unlike antibiotic drugs, the extract doesn't destroy
the helpful bacteria that are normally present in the mouth, intestine
and vagina.
Components
Grapefruit-seed extract contains bioflavonoids, vitamin C and E,
which all work as antioxidants. In fact, grapefruit-seed extract
is believed to be one of the most powerful natural antioxidants
available. For candidiasis
Candida albicans is a yeast that is normally found in the body,
but occasionally it can grow out of control, weakening the immune
system and causing a condition called candidiasis. A three week
course of treatment with grapefruit-seed extract can help: week
one, drink a glass of water containing 8 drops of the extract every
day. Week 2, drink two glasses, each containing 8 drops of extract,
daily. Week 3, drink 3 glasses daily.
Extra
Tip : Because of its germicidal
effect, grapefruit-seed extract can be helpful around the house.
Instead of relying on cleaning chemicals, use a solution made from
10 drops of the extract in 1 qt. of water.
Used
for all types of infections, inflammations, weakened immunity and
warts
Methods of
administration
For osteoporosis
Bone density decreases with age, due in part to free radicals that
attack the bone cells and their cell membranes and initiate the
aging process. The result is a porous bone structure, or osteoporosis.
The antioxidants in grapefruit seeds help minimize bone loss by
neutralizing free radicals. In addition to other vital preventive
measures, such as adequate calcium intake and exercise, taking 8
drops of grapefruit-seed extract daily in a glass of water can help,
protect bones over the long term.
For herpes
simplex virus
Physicians have observed that the herpes simplex virus becomes inactive
just 10 min. after application of a grapefruit-seed extract solution.
Dip a cotton swab in a mix of 1 part grapefruit seed extract and
9 parts water; dab it on the affected area.
For pesticide
residue
Use a solution of grapefruit-seed extract and water to wash fruits
and vegetables to remove any pesticides, microbes or bacteria that
might be present on the surface.
For
head lice
Grapefruit seed extract has been shown to provide swift relief from
head lice. Mix two-quarters shampoo and one quarter grapefruit seed
extract solutions (20 drops of extract to 1 cup of water) and thoroughly
massage it into the hair and scalp. Then place a shower cap over
the hair, and allow the mixture to work for approximately 20 min.
rinse the hair well, and groom with a delousing comb. More than
1 application of this treatment may be necessary.
