Grapefruit Seed Extract Applications.:How Does it Work?

 Take aspirin. Since its development in 1899, billions of people have benefited from its ability to reduce inflammation, lessen pain, and lower fever. But exactly how it works is only recently being better understood.

 "Considering all the electron micrographs, we believe that the microbial uptake of GSE alters the cell membrane by inhibiting enzymatic activities?You can see the loss of the cytoplasmic membrane."

 What is not known is how GSE can affect the cell membranes of such a diverse group of microbes with virtually no toxicity toward animal life(The "Acute Oral Toxicity Study" performed by an independent laboratory concluded that you would have to take 4,000 times the normal adult dose to risk a 50% chance of poisoning). And to complicate matters further, since viruses do not have a cell membrane of their own, how is it that GSE can act as an antiviral remedy as it does?

 Unraveling the mysteries of GSE and its mechanisms would undoubtedly provide extremely valuable insight into the basic activity of microbes. We might hope that research funds will become available to answer the many questions raised about how it can be so potent and yet so safe.
