I have a question - has anybody had success using GSE for respiratory infections? I have had a chronic antibiotic-resistant respiratory infection for 9 months and seen many doctors. It recently started to badly effect my nasal and sinus passages following a cold (which has since gone but left residual effects - I guess because of the respiratory infection that was already present). I just picked up a nasal spray with GSE yesterday and noticed some improvement quickly, so I started reading up on it. Today I just bought some GSE liquid and am going to follow suggestions to take it orally in OJ in hopes that it will help my respiratory infection as well. I have seen a pulmonologist (with no luck), and am seeing an allergist next week - but in the meantime am miserable (plus hoping not to have to start taking another rx medicine). I am hoping this will work, but again, just curious if anyone out there has any experience using GSE for respiratory infections...? Thanks for any assistance! :-)

Hi Laura. I had a chesty cough and sinus infection for weeks. I took Grapefruit seed extract capsules 570mg 1x twice a day and N-acetyl cysteine 600mg 1x twice a day. Also 1x tsp coconut oil 3x a day, and 2x tsps Apple Cider Vinegar in water 3x a day. I was pretty breathless most of the time so I also took B12 because I had read it could help. Also extra vit C and more water. I started to feel better the first day and within 5 days, really good. I made sure I didn't have sugar either, and had plenty of veg.

I hope this will help.

Hi Laura,

What kinds of things do you eat? It sounds to me like what you are eating could be contributing to your problem.

The first thing that came to my mind is for you to get 1,000 mg. vitamin C tabs and take one four times a day. See if that relieves sinus pressure and congestion. There is controversy over when it should be taken so you will have to experiment to see what you can tolerate.

Too many of us look for quick fixes and/or cures instead of painstakingly looking for prevention or eliminating the cause. I am also guilty of this..

I hope some others here can make helpful suggestions for you.

KT
