Magical Grapefruit Seed Extract

Magical liquid!!
I love this stuff. It is a natural antibiotic and antioxidant that is packed with bioflavonoids and other anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic properties! It does not work like other antibiotics by killing bacteria and making it resistant after prolonged use. Instead, grapefruit seed extract (GSE) alkalizes the environment inside the gut to make life unliveable for bad bacteria. You can Google it for a longer list of uses, but I'll just mention the main ways I have used grapefruit seed extract.
  • To ward off yeast infections! -- To be frank, this has got to be the best use so far! Ever since I've been on birth control, I find that I am more susceptible to yeast overgrowth "down there". I didn't want to use any OTC shove-it-up-there product or use any prescription medication, so I just did some research on natural remedies and kept reading about grapefruit seed extract. So I got some, and started diluting about 15 drops in a glass of water (put the water in last), three times a day... and in about 2-3 days... no more itchiness or other unfavorable symptoms of yeast overgrowth. And as long as I drink a glass with 15 drops several times a week, I am safe from yeast infections and haven't had one since I've been using this stuff consistently. 
  • To remove stains! -- A drop directly onto the site of a stain (I used it on blood!) with a little bit of water, and the stain was gone! You can also add several drops to your laundry to boost the cleaning power.
  • To improve oral hygiene!! -- You can dilute 5 drops in a mouthful of water, and use it for mouthwash. Be careful not to use more than 5 drops or so or your tongue will be a little bit numb... it goes away, but it feels weird!!
  • To moisturize and prevent breakouts! -- I put a few drops on my fingers when they are still wet from washing my face, and rub the GSE all over my face.
  • To clean my kitchen! -- I mix 1.5 cups water, 1.5 cups white vinegar, and 30 drops of GSE into a spray bottle and my kitchen is bacteria and grime-free in no time!!
  • To soothe sore throats! -- My husband Ben had a sore throat this weekend and, knowing its good reputation, I recommended that he gargle some GSE... he did, and the sore throat went away immediately. 
  • A natural preservative! -- I put a few drops of this stuff into cosmetics with shorter shelf lives-- like my eye cream from 100% Pure (click name to visit site)  --  because it acts as a natural preservative for those kinds of products.
For just $13.50 for a 4 oz. bottle that lasts forEVER.... you get so many uses for so little money!
