I started the GSE (Grapefruit seed extract, the liquid) about 1 week ago. I started it light but gradually increased it as the week went on. On the forums that I frequently visit, I read about candida and strict diets. I avoided it, hoping that my malasma was not one of those cases. The Candida diet is very strict, it much like the Atkins diet. Meat and veggies. No fruits, no dairy, no carbs, no sugar, no caffiene...that means no Diet Coke!!!!!
The GSE is another story. I was suggested to take 20 drops of the liquid, 5 times a day in water on an empty stomach and do not eat for 1 hour following. The Grapefruit seed extract is very bitter and very acidic. So for the past week I have been taking it with water and an Altoid (for the bitterness) but it was so difficult. I also wouldhave a sore throat 2 hours after drinking the stuff. Finally, I found on the forum that they have empty gelatin capsules to drip the liquid into and take that way. It's important to take it in liquid form, because it is more potent. GSE is a Candida buster, and there is a period in the treatment that you began to feel really awful. For the last two days I have had diarreha, headaches, stomach cramps and acne breakouts. They call this the "die-off" stage, this is when the fungus begans to die and I guess wants to take you down with it.
We'll see how this goes... I really hope it works!
Oh god, it sounds awful, but if it works I'll be rushing out to get some too. Stick with it tho, It sounds like like you'e tried all the same things as me to treat your pigmentation. I've bought a personal ipl machine from viss, no major progress yet, but I'll let you know ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to know if you have had any results with anything. I too am trying to find something to help my melasma. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will check this blog again to see if you respond. I really appreciate it as I am feeling helpless.
On the other hand, there is the option that a simple, Melasma Herbal Remedies may be just the solution you are looking for.
