Right now, I feel great. My sinus pressure is gone and my congestion is rapidly draining as I type this post. I am pretty sure combining the GSE with the neti pot treatment did the trick and I will continue this for at least five days to cure my sinus infection. Good luck and be peaceful!

Amazing! I regularly suffer from sinus infections and had been using apple cider vinegar in warm water to treat it. This time it was just not doing the trick. I tried 4 drops of grapefruit seed extract in my neti pot this evening, and just 3 hours later I am feeling the release of pressure and drainage. I have my fingers crossed for the futher improvement over the next few days with continued treatment - but already I am impressed!

I also had a great experience with grapefruit seed extract. At work a girl came in sick (thanks pal) sore throat, very bad, and flu type ailments. Sure enough we all got it, my throat was not just sore, it felt like it was swollen. Maybe glands, my ears hurt down into my neck. After 2 days of getting worse, I started grapefruit seed extract. 10 drops 4 times a day, after the first day I felt a little better. I put it in warm water and drank it. This was very soothing to the throat. After two full days I was almost all better, I did continue four days, six days total
My coworkers who just let it pass naturally were sick for two weeks, some longer. I really think this stuff helped me, next time I will use it at the onset of an illness.

I just wanted to say that I have been taking grapefruit extract in tablet form for years whenever I get a cold or sinus infection. I take 2 little tablets three times a day for about a week and on the third day, I always feel better. Colds do not go into sinus infections if I take it and if I do get a sinus infection (like I did recently from swimming in the ocean), it goes away within a couple of days when I take the tablets. If I don't tke them, I stay miserable. I had a naturalpathic doctor tell me it was okay to take them for as long as a month at a time, but I never need to. They always make me feel better, so I take them anytime I feel a little under the weather and it always works. My husband does the same thing and it works for him too. The tablets are small and easy to get down. No bad side effects for us, only good effects.

To Cathy from Homer Geo. How much grapefruit extract would you use in an eight oz. water bottle? I would like to try this cure. thanks, diane
That depends on which preparation you're using and what you're using it for. For example:
Nutribiotic GrapeFruit Seed Ezxtract Liquid Concentrate Ingredients:
33% Grapefruit seed extract, and, 67% Vegetable glycerine.
AVOID using on sensitive areas.
Nutribiotic's Maximum GSE Liquid Concentrate contains Citricidal
(60% grapefruit seed extract and 40% vegetable glycerin).
EXTERNAL use ONLY. AVOID using on sensitive areas.
NutriBiotic Nasal Spray is a natural formulation designed to lubricate nasal passages. Contains CRITRICIDAL® brand grapefruit seed extract and sodium chloride. Ingredients: Water, glycerin (vegetable), citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed extract (CITRICIDAL®), sodium chloride.
A safer option for people who are interested in using Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) in their nose is Xlear Nasal Spray (XNS) which contains purified water, xylitol, GSE and sodium chloride.
The GSE is a potent antimicrobial and has antibiofilm effects. The xylitol also has antibiofilm effects while cleansing and moisturizing at the same time to offset the drying effects of the saline solution. XNS has been around for a long time and is made in safe proportions of ingredients. Here is a link to the product on Amazon, but XNS is available at many drug stores :
