Just wondering what the latest conclusion is on grapefruit seed extract. I remember reading that what some people thought were herxes may have been reactions to some additives in GSE.

Does anyone know one way or the other. Or, has anyone had good luck w/GSE? Are LLMD's still recommending this? Thanks!

I haven't been on mine long enough to make a comment but wanted to bring your note back up to the top.

I have been taking that along with Olive Leaf Extract.

I do know that my daughters LLMD is still recommending it but I haven't actually talked to my LLMD yet regarding it.

I figured I need all the help I can get, so onwarad and forward with it.

I'd been taking GSE capsules for a while with little noticeable result. However at my last appt, my LLMD told me to take 4-6 caps/day (I was taking 3 caps/day) and I did notice a herx with 6 caps/day (2 caps 3x/day).

I'd been on Tindamax for quite a while, and I love it, but recently started having more tremors, so he had me stop the tini and take just the GSE at a higher dose.

FYI, I've also had herxes from drinking "Dole" ruby red grapefruit juice...seriously. I tried other brands and didn't get the same response, so I think Dole must process the seeds with the juice. If you like drinking grapefruit juice, you might find some Dole and try it.
