I just started taking it this week. I am herxing like crazy and am starting to feel lightheaded. I am taking with doxy and have heard mixed things about doing that. Any insight ? Thank you!

shanna - I haven't heard about the interaction between doxy and grapefruit seed extract.

I know it's used as a cyst buster sometimes. The only thing I remember about it not being good was due to contamination in the processing of it.

And...I can't remember the details..but if you do a search on this forum, it will probably come up.

Here's a thread:

It's not about doxy and GSE - but about the contamination.

you're welcome.


You can keep bumping the thread up - to find out if anyone knows about doxy and GSE interactions.

Shanna, could you be thinking of grapefruit juice? I know that it can react with different pharmaceuticals. Maybe its the Doxy alone making you herx? I don't know, its just speculation.

I found this - apparently the interactions that grapefruit juice have with meds - includes the grapefruit seed extract.

According to this website:

My LLMD had me add GES extract about 2 months ago, haven't really noticed anything from it.

Schmily Kate,
How much are you taking? Are you taking it everyday?
Posted 7/1/2016 1:50 AM (GMT 0)
I take one capsule daily, 400mg it is made by DaVinci. My LLMD is using it as a cyst buster.

Yea my Llmd seemed really big on it!

I wanted to start with GSE, but I thought it interacts with abx, and now I read that much of you take it.
Which abx do you take?
Does it interact with other herbs?

I take it with doxy omnicef and flagyl collidal silver nystantin and the list goes on.
