I just posted a message regarding grapefruit seed extract, including the
manufacturer's claims regarding their product from their website.

This goes exactly to the point I was trying to make earlier.  They claim
that Grapefruit seed  extract is, on average, 10 times as effective as CS
in killing bacteria.  They are talking bactericidal according to the
company representative I spoke to (Sam Allen).

We need to be able to measure this stuff.  Furthermore, we need to know
which product is more effective against the Lyme spirochete.  The fact that
CS seems to work for some people is helpful.  How helpful it is is also
important.  Knowing how to really test the stuff and figuring out how good
it is vs. other products is critical.  Knowing what doses of what
concentrations is also important.  Is home brewed better than commercial or
just cheaper?  Does quality make a difference?

If grapefruit seed extract is more potent that CS for Lyme, then I would
rather use that, assuming that I'm not running risks of serious side
effects.  If CS is better for some reason, then that is the product I want
to use.

Best wishes to all.
