Hi Robb, good to hear how you are getting on. My husband and I are taking CS
for CFS and three months down the line are still feeling lousey with it but
also some better so I guess that would be the defining point for me if the
GFS caused a grotty reaction BUT also was noticebly helping.
By the way a relative with very severe arthritis, who has been doped up on
very high doses of painkillers plus inummerable drugs to combat the side
effects of them, for years, is getting appreciable relief from taking
bromelain, 500mg x2 a day, in fact, after a couple of weeks she is off
nearly all the painkillers except if she has to do a lot..
Best wishes,
Sheila
PS Have a look at Dr D'Adamos site on blood type diet in case of interest,
help.

Hi, As most of you know I have been fighting an arthritis condition for a
while now. Heeding the advice of a few of you, a few months ago I started a
diet that eliminated carbs and sugar. This helped me to some extent but I
didn't really think that carbs were the root of the problem. I stayed on
that diet for a month and found that my condition was about the same as it
was before......maybe a little less pain, but not much different. In the
back of my mind I still believed that my problems was caused by a pathogen.
I remembered getting advice from several of you that I should perhaps try
Grapefruit seed extract. I decided to give it a try so I purchased 4 ounces
of 33%. Within 2 days of taking about 20 drops 5 times a day every single
joint in my body was on fire like I have never seen before. This really
came as quite a shock to me since even colloidal silver hadn't produced this
kind of herx reaction even with very high doses. At the time that this
occured, i was also taking CS.......I stopped taking the CS so I could make
sure that the GSE was indeed causing the reaction. The reaction persisted
and seemed to get worse when I increased my dosages of GSE.
This was a little over a month ago when I first starting have herx
reactions by GSE use. I have since then run out of my 4 ounce bottle and
replaced it with 32 ounces of 66% citricidal. The new stuff has the precise
same effect on me as the first bottle.
I guess my question is: Shouldn't I be having a decrease in the herx
reactions by now?.....does a reaction like this mean I am killing
them?....or could it be they are just "aggravated"? I am taking GSE to
bowel tolerance and I really wish I could get more in my system but I'm not
sure how to do it. I have decided to add oregano oil to my arsenal since
the GSE is working so well. I should have it in a few days. One thing I
can say is that the GSE is MUCH more effective on me than CS has
been.........Does anyone have any other advice for me?....I think I'm making
real progress but any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Can I expect
the same type of reaction from the oregano oil?..............thanks in
advance for any help...........Robb
