Many years ago, I used to venture out every other Saturday for my bi-weekly manicure (french tips, of course) because a girl always feels pretty when her feet (and toes) look good.  Eventually, I developed warts on the ring and middle fingers of my right hand.  This had absolutely nothing to do with the manicures.  But, I became self conscious about my fingers when the warts grew large enough to cause the nailbeds to become misshapened and the manicurists would comment on them.  I tried everything to get rid of these warts: freezing, Compound W, duct tape (yeah, there really are a million and one ways to use duct tape), everything!  Nothing worked.  The warts might get a little smaller for a while, but they kept coming back.  And, they invited their cousins to join them!  It appeared that I had some kind of virus in my system that manifested in warts, rather than the plain old, run-of-the-mill topical kind.  Yippee!  I'm special.

About a year and a half ago, my mother-in-law recommended that I try Grapefruit Seed Extract.  This is an absolutely vile, revolting concoction of the most sour tasting stuff you could ever imagine.  But, I decided that, if it was going to work, I was going to keep at it.  So, I mixed 10 drops of extract in a shotglass full of water, choked it down and followed it up with a nice citrus-flavored juice as a chaser.  After a couple of days, I noticed a marked improvement in the size of the warts.  After a few weeks, they were completely gone.  My fingers were normal looking again.  It's been over a year and they still have not come back.  Amazing stuff.

Grapefruit seed extract is also recommended for colds, gastrointestinal disorders, upset stomach, diarrhea, poison ivy/oak, rashes, cold sores and even head lice, dandruff and chicken pox.  It's amazing what a few drops of grapefruit seed extract can naturally do to your body's immune system.  It's also available in pill form, but the liquid gets absorbed into your system much easier.  Go to your local health foods store and pick yourself up a bottle today.
