Grapefruit seed extract

I have also started using Grapefruit seed extract to combat my sugar cravings and kill yeast in my intestinal tract. I have been symptom free for almost six years. Just last week my UC flared stronger than ever before. I do not take my grapefruit seed extract regularly. My diet is atrocious. Instead of losing weight with my UC, I have gained a tremendous amount. I am currently beginning an organic vegan/ vegetarian diet. I am interested in trying Gerson Therapy. I figure if I am willing to use steroid enemas, how is coffee any different? Big business controls the USDA and most of our overall health care and access to alternative to Western treatments. I'll let everyone know how this new journey turns out.

--Diagnosed UC 03/1995 after a few years of symptoms and at the tender age of 15. I have tried massive doses of oral prednisone, mesalamine enemas/suppositories/pills, sulfasalazines, etc. I have tried hydrocortisone foam and enemas and am currently on 150 mg q d of azathioprine. The azathioprine is what put me in remission for so many years. I refuse to ever be put on prednisone again. It turned me into a raging, fat lunatic.
