The Grapefruit seed extract is not the same as Grapefruit Juice so you don't have to worry about interactions with drugs. It is taken from the seed of the Grapefruit.

04/14/2009: Regarding the non-substantiated statement made by Teresa from Bay City, MI on 04/14/09 assuring us that "The Grapefruit seed extract is not the same as Grapefruit Juice so you don't have to worry about interactions with drugs. It is taken from the seed of the Grapefruit."... I would think that this issue is much too serious an issue to leave to comments that are not backed by science here. Please show more documented evidence that there is no negative interactions with drugs before making statements regarding safety. Thank you sincerely.

To Menderfire9 from Tacoma, Wa: Go the website for Grapefruit seed extract for your science. They have done many studies and also tell you that you can take this product with medication such as bp meds. They would not be able to make this claim if it were not true.
Scalp Fungus
★★★★★
I tried GSE (grapefruit seed extract) by putting a few drops in my shampoo. I mixed them together in the palm of my hand each time I shampooed, which was every other day.I left the lather in for two minutes or so. The results were immediate, now I just have a slight touch of dandruff, no itch and my hair seems to be getting a little thicker. My hair and scalp definitely look better as well.
Sinus Infections

Try only 3-4 drops of GSE but add 3% peroxide lets say about 10 drops.
Sinus Infections
★★★★★
On sign of a sinus infection, I did a 2 cup nasal cleanse (with the nasal syringe) using 2 cups of water, 1/2 tsp salt and 8 drops grapefruit seed extract. I experienced an immediate 'stuffing up' but by morning was symptom free. I repeated cleanse before I went to work and have had no problems since! Worked great!

Yea for the grapefruit seed extract. I've been having a disgusting nasal odor, almost like poop or rubbish, that was so bad that I dreaded going out in public because people could smell it even if they weren't right next to me. Riding in cars was torture for me and others because the smell would fill up the car within 1 minute. Anyway I tried alot of things- antibiotics, nose creams, irrigating my nasal passages with water and combining some things: tea tree oil/acv/salt/baking soda/iodine. Nothing worked. I assume I had an infection up there even though I had no real pain or discomfort, just post nasal drip and that odor that even I couldnt stand. Anyway as a last resort I ordered GSE, it arrived at work this morning and I went to the bathroom immediately to irrigate my sinuses with it (a few drops in a cup of water) and the relief seemed almost immediate- the people in my office stopped coughing and sniffing (the odor was that bad! ) and I can't smell it anymore. My nose has been running the whole day which is a good thing because all that yuck is coming out. I'm blowing my nose every 30 seconds. I plan to do this irrigation for a full week to make sure no bacteria/fungi survive then maybe I'll irrigate with probiotic powder for another week to replace the good bacteria. As a side note, I'm also on an anti-candida diet, and on the following supplements: quercitin, vitamin C, fish oil, fulvic acid and s salivarius probiotics. So hopefully the fungus/bad bacteria won't ever have a change to grow back. But I never got relief from the nose odor until GSE. (If the nose odor comes back I will come back to report, otherwise assume that the GSE nailed it. )Now if someone could tell me a cure that works for bad breath from the MOUTH, I'd be the happiest person alive!

Please try taking liquid chlorophyll for the bad odor in your mouth. It will be good for your overall health as well. 1 Tablespoon in water 1-2 times/day. If upset stomach occurs, use a little less. Mine says to take first thing in the morning and before bed, but I take it with food because I have a sensitive stomach. Great for post-nasal drip, by the way.

I bought a water pik and use a couple drops of GSE in it every day for gums, and over all mouth health. Has pretty much cured my peridontal issues. Also use with saline rinse, (add couple drops of GSE) for sinus.

I am now trying GSE on my cat- that seems to have ringworm fungus on his ears. It is non poisonous to cats- where the feline has no enzyme to process the chemicals in essential oil- as in phenols& terpenes or limolene which is orange oil. I just read that oil of oregano is good for people and sheep with ringworm fungus- but a cat can't have the terpenes in oregano oil- the specific terpene is (? spelling? -thymisol) but that being in oregano, & thyme was good as an oil extract for people with ringworm or other fungus on the skin.
I suggest organic coconut oil swished in mouth and spit out after 10 minutes, after brushing teeth at night. Works to stop mouth and tooth smell and decay. It is lauric acid- so it is a bit drying to skin and hair. Sinus infections advice is why I found this thread- I liked the hydrogen peroxide and 3 drops GSE-grapefruit seed extract.

To rid your mouth of bad odors, floss your teeth, brush your teeth, and scrape your tongue. Do these twice a day and your health will improve. The odors are caused by bacteria. These methods will reduce the amount of bacteria.
Staph
Staph
The wikipedia article cited states that no studies have proven its ability to kill pathogens.
Simply google: Grapefruit seed extract tea tree staph.
There are several science articles stating the same thing.
G.S.E. combined with tea tree kills one strain of MRSA.
G.S.E. combined with Geranium oil kills the other strain of MRSA.
So dont listen to the wiki article author tell you that there is "no scientific evidence".

You are definitely right about the grapefruit seed extract. I have finally gotten control of a nasty staph infection near my right eye using it. After 7 months of trying everything in the book, this is the only stuff I have found that is reducing the infection and making me feel as if I can finally kill this thing.

My mom has either staph or strep on her knee, doc does not know. She is 80 and she is on 2 antibiotics. I have the NutriBiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE), 10 drops is 100 mg. How do I use it to help her and to kill it in my house? I am using 40 drops in one load of laundry.

I recommend putting like 20 drops of grapefruit seed extract in a spray bottle of very warm water, shake it up and spray any hard surfaces. It is great for sterilizing make up brushes and utensils, etc. you can put it in your laundry too.
I put grapefruit seed extract dilluted with warm damp cotton pad.
Today I used 6 drops GSE with spoonful coconut oil and a capsule of activated charcoal on a flat cotton pad and taped it to my neck on what I thought was a spider bite, but the level of itchiness has me mega concerned and additional bumps around it. I'm catching it VERY early, so I will continue this until its gone. I recommend this combo for your grandma's knee. Do it everyday until its gone. Change it often
Strep Throat
★★★★★
I absolutely love this site! One thing I haven't seen is the amazing and simple treatment for Strep Throat and several other issues. GSE (grapefruit seed extract) has kept me out of the doctors office for 13 years now. One bottle can last me at least a year or two and it only cost me $12.00. I work around germs and virus' every day (poker dealer)and use it as a preventative measure as well. Just 3-8 drops in water or juice once a day when others are getting sick, keeps everything I'm exposed to from rooting itself into my system. When I have had Strep Throat catch me off guard, I simply mega-dose by taking 13 drops in a small glass of water. Gargle and swallow. Yes, swallow. I do this 3 times a day and keep doing it even though the sore throat is gone within 12-24 hours and The white bumps within 24 -36 hours, for at least 7 days. Just like a script for antibiotics, keep going past the symptoms stage. GSE attacks germs and is even used as a dissinfectant for tooth brushes, countertops etc... It is said it is 50 times more potent than bleach against germs yet the whole bottle (hundreds of doses worth) is less toxic to the body than one baby Bayer aspirin. Google it yourself and see it does natures work like the hand of God. I read it is even effective against Anthrax?

WARNING!
I just wanted to remind people to follow the directions and make sure to dilute this product so that you do not make the mistake that I made.
I had a slight pain in my tooth and thought that gargling with some GFSE would make me feel better. I placed about 15 drops into some water and gargled without incident.
Then I got the bright idea to place a few drops directly onto the tooth. What a mistake!! The undiluted drops quickly made my mouth water, and then the mixture of drops and saliva kind of made its way under my tongue. I spit it out, but the damage was already done. Within that few minutes I had managed to bascially give myself a chemical burn to the soft fleshy area under my tongue.
The pain was so bad that I cannot even describe it. It kind of felt as though I had chards of broken glass under my tongue. I felt miserable. Then the next day the area under my tongue was kind of swollen, and it felt like I had something stuck in my throat.
Needless to say, eating has been difficult. I'm sure that within a week or so I will feel better. The body has the amazing capacity to heal itself even after we do unwise things to it.
GFSE is great, but make sure that you always dilute it. I don't want anyone else messing up their mouth the way that I did.

I myself have applied GSE directly to my mouth without incident. In fact, a coworker had a mouth sore that had gotten so bad that she planned to make an ER visit the next day. I had her apply GSE directly to the sore and by the end of our 8 hour shift it was gone.

GSE can be added to orange juice. Even my kids can't taste it in OJ. No other juice disguises the flavor like it does.

I have been using GSE in capsules for 2 weeks. I was putting 10 drops/capsule 2-3 times daily. Today I upped the drops to 20/capsule before lunch and felt even better than with the 10 drops. I always take with 8 to 16 oz of water that I also use to swallow the capsule with. I only use Nutribiotic(tm) GSE it only has glycerine(67%) and GSE (33%). I am using it for Fungus overgrowth. I had severe heartburn before beginning to use the GSE; now, not at all. I also put it full strength on toenail fungus and just started today to put it full strength on a wart I got a few months ago.
