<< Just came home form a conference. Question from a mom was how safe is

grapefruit seed estract or oil when breastfeeding. I didn't think it would

be a problem and neither did Dr.Jack. However I wondered if anyone esle had

used this for yeast and how effective was it if used? This Mom stated it

works well for her at one dose per day.

Grapefruit seed extract is a powerful antifungal. It is safe for the mother
to take and is used frequently by naturopaths to treat yeast. I have seen it
work when nothing else would, esp for systemic conditions. It is, in my
experience, always used with psyllium husk capsules and a lot of water to rid
the body of yeast die-off. Otherwise, many people experience gas, bloating
and cramping from the dying yeast.
