GRAPEFRUITSEED

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 (glycerin 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 GRAPEFRUITSEED 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.

Week two, drink two glasses, each containing 8 drops of extract daily. Week three, drink three glasses daily

Bone density decreases with age, due in part to f 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.
