Strep throat in adults is caused by streptococcus pyogens, which is a common strain of bacteria that can live in the throat and nose for months without causing any harm. Stress and a lowered immune system can cause strep to start sending out toxins and inflammatory substances to bring on the strep throat and other symptoms.
Symptoms of strep throat in adults are a sore throat that comes on rapidly, fever sometimes greater than 102ºF, back of the throat is raw and red, white pus on tonsils, tender, high lymph nodes in the neck, absence of cough, stuffy nose and or upper respiratory symptoms.
Causes of strep throat in adults is most commonly the streptococcus pyogens. Other bacteria can occasionally invade the throat and cause similar symptoms, such as staphylococcus, neisseria and hemophilus influenza. Some people develop strep throat when their immune systems are not functioning at their peak. Stress, over work, exhaustion and fights with viral infections can weaken the body's defense and set up attacks of strep throat.

Immune System
hi, for years i have had autoimmune problems, asthma,kidney and bladder infections. i have fibromyalgia, arthritis, degenerative disc disease,scoliosis, mvp., thyroidism,.. and lupus erythremous. my lupus wains like the flue.,, coming and going. it is very difficult to live with. But, what i want to thank you for was your liquid gold drops. i use 2 drops and a small glass of water 3 or 4 times a day faithfully.!!! In early november thru january of this year, i acquired strep throat, then i went into acute bronchitis, into my lupus, then to pneumonia and lastly, the dreaded pleurisy! Having asthma and pluerisy was a nightmare. Soooo, painful. II should have been in the hospital, but there was so many germs in there. So, My Father put me on your liquid gold and herbs. And, within a week i was already clearing up the old lungs. I know that it has built my immune system and made me stronger. I am able to go without all of the former prescription medicines i use to need. Anyone who wants to be well should try this.

Sinus Infection, Strep Throat, Irritable Bowel etc...My name is Gigi Medley and I have been using Grapefruit Seed Extract for seven (7) weeks now and I do not know what I would do without it. I happened upon the GSE website while doing research to find something that would alleviate my sinus drainage which I have endured most of my adult life. I now use GSE for the following: 1) Sinuses: In the past I had constant sinus drainage, which quite frequently would lead to acute sinus and strep throat infections. I would get this ailment every 3 months and it would drive me crazy. I now take 1 small amount of water with 2 drops of GSE and place a few drops in each nose at least twice a day. Needless to say, I have not had a sinus infection or even a sore throat since I have been doing this. GSE works wonderfully!
. . . . . . I am so glad I have this product in my life! 2) Irritated Bowels Syndrome (IBS): I was diagnosed with IBS last year and I am frequently uncomfortable by constipation and irregularity due to this ailment. I take 2-3 drops of GSE for my constipation 3 times a day and I do not have any problems moving my bowels.
GSE has really made life easier and my body loves it! 3) Deodorant: I keep a small spray bottle (approx. 6 oz.) of mineral water with 20 - 30 drops of GSE in it on my bathroom shelf. When I get out of the shower, I spray the mixture of water and GSE under my arms as my deodorant, dab off the excess water, and get dressed for the day. I was forever looking for a deodorant with no chemicals that I could use without worrying about long term medical issues. Once again, GSE has come to the rescue!!!!! Since using GSE, I have been telling my friends and family about how wonderful it is and hope that this FABULOUS product can continue to be available for people who really depend on it!!!
Thank you GSE!! Sincerely, Gigi Medley - Washington DC
Strep Throat & Colds
I tell people GSE is "Magic Healing Stuff" because it works so well. Not to mention there are no doctors medications for colds and viruses while GSE seems to resolve all sickness related issues including viral related. It is one thing to accept something is working (like Garlic) and quite another to actually FEEL it. GSE provides that proof and NO side effects. :)
I actually started taking it for myself. I don't normally get sick and wound up feeling like I was getting strep throat. I took the GSE for 2 days and the strep was completely gone (imagine my shock). I personally take it as maintenance and if I feel anything out of the ordinary, I up the dose to three times a day. It is the only herbal like supplement that you can see and feel instant results. Most herbs provide protection and help resolve internal conflicts that you may not feel (like blood cleansers and cholesterol lowering) however, if you get a cold or sickness you get to see and feel the instant results from taking the GSE. I know my mom was shocked how well it worked....not to mention myself. As a diabetic, GSE is the ultimate body guard! Thanks much for the shipping update and providing the product to the public!

Strep Throat and Sinus Infections
Thank You for your wonderful product. Grapefruit Seed Extract has saved me so much money on not having to go to the Doctor for strep throat and sinus infections. I've also used it for my children for these reasons and am glad to see it can be used for ear infections also. People think I'm strange for not using regular antibiotics, but it works and at the same time doesn't wear the immune system down. Such and inexpensive product from nature as God intended.

Strep Throat
I gave my sister grapefruit seed extract for strep throat: Swollen glands in neck, tonsils swollen with pus and pushing uvula out of the way, fever, vomiting and in severe pain. After two days of taking GSE she was able to return to work, and no longer having to take pain medication. Wow! antibiotics never worked anywhere near that fast!
