Im interested in starting this to keep Babesia at bay...I don't know if its still here or not. I read a while back that someone on Lymenet has success with it.
anyone know the dose? The bottle says 15 drops a day in water. Is this high enough?

Be careful, it's powerful stuff!! My LLMD uses it for the cyst form of borrelia. It's also good for fungi/candida. I've never heard it used for babesia.
I never got past 3 or 4 drops .....

What brand do you use? Is one brand better than the next? How much is a bottle?

Thanks Six! I need to treat for yeast and cyst forms so I hope it helps in those areas. I think it was Tick battler who used it for babesia with success. I will start very low since its so strong! Maybe at 1/2 drop to see.
Marcie-The brand I got is NutriBiotic and was around $12.00. Not sure if its the best kind or not.

I also used Nutribiotic. I was brave, started at a whole drop, LOL.

I am doing it in capsule form. My LLMD wanted to try me off flagyl for 3 months, since it was very hard on my system. I'm only on 1 a day (it's been 3 days), and add a second one starting tomorrow.
Good luck!

I started low also , with 2 drops . I now take 12 drops twice a day . I take it along with artemesia annua drops ( herb pharm ) . After a year of these . with rife , I see more improvement than I did with 3 yrs ABX .
I used nutribiotic and Tickbattler uses Agrisept L , I believe . I have ordered some of this and may try it soon.
You can adjust your dose of GSE as to tolerance . It was hard at first , but got easier after a few months.

Good to know that all supplements do not have to be so expensive! Tweleve dollars a bottle is more my budget!

I've taken GSE tablets for Lyme ....didn't seem to help my Babesia.....started slow worked up to 7 tablets (900 mg) day for past 2 years.
Using it as a cyst buster. Haven't noted any negative side effects but did herx when I first started taking it. I also started with just l pill a day and worked up to 7.

Thank you everyone, Im surprised that GSE actually works as a cyst buster, but I am willing to try...don't really want to take Flagyl. I will let you know if I feel it keeps babesia away.

I just started tetracycline, should/could I take this also? Would it hurt or help?
