Grapefruit Seed Extract – Tonsil Stone Prevention
[starratingmulti id=5]
UPDATE: With the overwhelming success of grapefruit extract with tonsil stones and bad breath I’ve shopped and made a list of places you can try it out! For the money it costs there’s NO reason not to try it! Even if you’re skeptical, if you don’t try it you’re basically just accepting having bad breath because I’ve suffered from it for my whole life and this has been the ONLY thing that’s worked. Try it out.
Amazon has the most affordable price, plus the cheapest shipping costs ($.99!). You can select a 2oz, 4oz(default), or a big 32oz bottle. I purchased a 2 oz bottle to try it out and it lasts FOREVER!

Today I’m reviewing a tonsil stones prevention method using grapefruit seed extract. I read in an article (true or not I’m not sure yet) that grapefruit seed extract is suppose to somehow completely stop tonsil stone growth over a period of a week of use, three times a day. The concept is simple; after a meal gargle for at least one minute with water and a couple drops of this concentrated grapefruit seed extract, then brush your teeth. So I bought a small 2oz bottle of it!
I just started so I’ll update the post every day with the results! A good note is that it’s relatively inexpensive to purchase, I think I paid about $15 shipped to my house (at the time of purchase) and it’s concentrated beyond belief so one bottle should absolutely last. My beginning mentality is slightly skeptical, but there’s only one way to find out if it really works, try it! Keep checking back for my daily results!
DAY 1 – (4/4/09): I used it for the first time, then brushed my teeth. My breath feels very fresh. Breath Test from girlfriend “smells good”. So far so good.
DAY 2 - (4/5/09): Second day, my breath seems the same, feels like it works pretty good for a couple hours but the sour taste in my mouth still comes back. But it is suppose to take at least a week before tonsil stones stop forming so we’ll see. Check back!
DAY 3 - (4/6/09): It definitely seems to do something, it takes hours and hours until my breath seems questionable again so I think it might be starting to work.
DAY 4 - (4/7/09): Day 4, results seem the same as usual. To be fair in testing I’m eating my normal diet of dairy products, McDonalds, cookies etc to see if grapefruit seed extract can work in the average persons dietary conditions. I assume it would result even better with a diet that wouldn’t aggravate tonsil stone growth 
DAY 5 - (4/8/09): Day 5, I skipped a brush & gargle today and I could tell my breath definitely wasn’t fresh. But I think it’s just the tonsil stones that I already have are working out. It might take more than a week to be tonsil stone free.
DAY 6 - (4/9/09): Pretty much the same results. It seems like a great antibacterial moutwash and works for a while but I still have the same taste in my mouth after 3-5 hours.
DAY 7 - (4/10/09): Alright, 7th day! I went without brushing my teeth besides after breakfast and my breath felt fine! I ate chocolate and drank coffee and other things that would normally set tonsil stones off and it still felt fine! Grapefruit seed extract is starting to work for my tonsil stones I’m certain! Although I’m also certain it takes more than 7 days to provide the full effect, reason being it takes time for the tonsil stones that are currently in your tonsil crypts to dissolve and come out of your tonsils, and gain the full benefit of the grapefruit seed extract. I would definitely recommend the use of grapefruit seed extract for the prevention of tonsil stone formation! XD

Additional Note: GSE does not hurt or stain your teeth. I have sensitive teeth and I’ve never noticed any staining, irritation, or sensitiveness in my teeth.
Thank you for this site. It is such an embarassing problem that I recently began to experience within the past couple of weeks. I have had one to two in the past year, but this last couple of weeks alone I have had two noticeable ones. It has been dreadful. Do you have any recommendations for when you can feel a tonsillolith in the back of your throat but cannot see it to get it out? I will order the GSE but am wanting to get rid of it as soon as possible.
I agree GSE definitely works, I bought mine in UK for £6.00 online, a brand called ‘Citricidal’ I diluted 12 drops in 300ml water and keep the solution in an empty soda bottle in the bathroom, I use 2-3 times per day and can honestly say that that awful smell has gone, I got a couple of stones still in the first week but the smell was not there.
I would do anything to avoid surgery or having to pay for one of those rip off books online – I am sure they would only recommend the same things as Josh does for free. It is a shame people set out to make money from other’s misfortunes.
Hi Josh, Great site!! You have put together a awesome summarizing so much info for us!! I found the GSE method from your website but I am not comfortable with ordering food/supplements online. However, I did not find Nutribiotic’s GSE extract in my local nutrition store. They carry GSE by a brand called innovite and I was wondering if GSE by a different brand will still work?
Hey Josh, thanks for the tips. I have already gargled with the grapefruit seed extract solution twice today and I really do hope this method will work for me.
How bad were your tonsilloliths? Mine are stuffed up like everywhere, especially between the tonsil and the palatopharyngeal arch and they are extremely hard to remove. Also, they seem to be built up inside my tonisls, because when I press on one of tonsils, the stones will often come out through one of the many holes.
I don’t suffer from post nasal drip; will gargling 3 times a day and cutting out diary be enough to prevent new tonsilloliths from forming (I know it’s not 100% guaranteed to work, but I think you know what I mean by that
I’m going on my very first date next week, soooo… yeah, this is kinda important for me lol!
Hey Louise
use gse in combination with eliminating dairy from your diet and you’ll notice stunning results!
Hi Josh,thanx so much for your free advise.I have suffered with tonsil stones for years,so you can imagine how happy i was when i find out about gse as a perfect cure!
I managed to buy it a month ago,and since then i have been using it every day 3 times a day,but even thou my breath smells so much better and the tonsil stones are less,i still get them!So i’m not sure what to do,shall i keep trying using it,or shall i finally go to my doctor and ask for my tonsil to be removed?what do you think?
Thank you.
Erick, as long as it’s sealed and from nutribiotic, I would feel comfortable purchasing it on eBay.
They do come back, if I start eating dairy again. Let’s say I eat a bowl of ice cream; I’ll notice that around 3-5 days after I eat dairy, tonsil stones will start to form. As long as I gargle 2 or 3 times a day with diluted GSE it tends to not be very bad AND go away within another 4 or 5 days. If I don’t use GSE, it tends to be much worse and last longer.
I’m telling everybody that reads this comment, if you gargle with diluted GSE and cut 100% of dairy products from your life, you will not have any tonsil stones after 5-14 days. It works! By cutting dairy I mean that you have to cut every single drink and food that has any dairy product. You have to look at the ingredients of EVERYTHING you eat and drink to see if it contains milk. While being an inconvenience, I promise you the feeling of being free of tonsil stones is one of the best feelings you’ll ever feel! You’ll feel like a completely new person =]
Hi Josh…How about your tonsil stone now? Are you free from them now? So, can you eat dairy food now? I almost suffer bad breath in all my live. I wan to hear from you… I want to try the GSE. Although in here (this website) so many friends get the trouble like me, but in my place…it is like just me… I never be confident because of this thing. I cannot communicate with the other. Anyway…they(tonsil stone) never comeback to you? how about if they comeback again?
Hi Josh. I, too, have suffered from bad breath for over 20 years. I knew that I had bad breath when people would either back away, pull at their nose, or offer me gum. I have tried Oxyfresh, Therabreath, epsom salt gargles….you name it. None of them worked. I did a lot a research about 2 years ago & realized that it was tonsilolith that was my problem. I also have post nasal drip. I bought the Grossan Hydro Pulse for the PND. It worked great but it was only temporary for a couple of hours. Then I saw your video on you tube. I purchased the Nutribiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract. I am now on day 3. My mouth feels fresh and now when I touch my tonsils with my finger, the smell is hardly there. I believe the GSE actually dissolves the tonsilolith because they are not expelled. The Hydro Pulse actually removes the tonsilolith from my tonsils. This is now a part of my daily oral routine. I used to gargle anyway, so this is not anything extra that I’m doing. I will report back in 2 weeks to let you know how it’s working. Thank you so much for this info. I thought I would have to live with this problem for the rest of my life.
Hi
I just saw some GSE on ebay, will you buy it on ebay??
Melissa, yes grapefruit seed extract will stop the feeling of something in the back of your throat! Tons of people have already stopped their bad breath from tonsil stones buy gargling with diluted GSE =]
this is for josh.u might have already answerd this questions,but i am jsut to busy to read all the comments.so i am hoping u can answer mine..u seem to know alot about this annoying problem..i been suffering from tonsil stones for a long time,so ok my thing is that i get a lump feeling down in my thoart,but i can not see any stones in my tonsils,i can also taste the tonsil stones when i try and cough it up..sometimes this lump can lasts for weeks at a time..i hate this feeling in my thoart.so my question is,have u experince this and did the grapeseed exract work for it..thanks
Julie, it seems to help them come out much faster and easier, as well as almost dissolve them inside your tonsilar crypts. The remaining stones will come out over a period of 3 days up to about 2 weeks =]
hi, i’m suffering from tonsil stone and i’m considering surgery to remove tonsil. i can somehow get tonsil stone out on my right side but my left side is really bad. i cant seem to pop it out. i’ve tried everything. my question is, will my remaining stone will go away by using this grape fruit seed extract? or i will still have it?
Hey Ray, there’s no need to rinse with water especially when using GSE. The longer it stays inside your tonsil crypts the better!
When using mouthwash such as Smart Mouth or this GSE stuff, am I supposed to gargle, spit out, then rinse with water? Or do I spit it out and not rinse with water?
thank you
This stuff really works, for those of you reading this from the uk you can get it from amazon, I’ve been using it for two months now and I feel confident speaking to people up close, something I didn’t feel before as I could feel the stones forming in my throat so I knew my breath would be unsavoury. I feel normal at last. Thanks for the tip josh.
Sorry about the email issue, it is a fake. I thought it wouldn’t matter. Would i be able to order that specific brand from amazon even though i live in the UK. There is a UK version of amazon but they don’t have that brand. But in the US version they do. And i don’t really drink milk, only with cereal. Also everytime i eat, food gets stuck in my tonsil crypts. I know this because i find them when i poke it with a cotton bud. At first they don’t smell but if i leave them in there, they do start to smell. I’ve been to the ENT and they gave me a nasal spray and i’ve also been told i have PND. I really want to take my tonsils out as i feel everything else isn’t working. But the ENT are very reluctant to offer to take it out.
Hey Steve,
I’ve been trying to reply to your comments personally through email but your address always comes back as a fake email address.
From what people have said, other brands of GSE (anything other than Nutribiotic) haven’t seemed to be nearly as effective at stopping tonsil stones. Also, if you regularly drink milk, it almost completely negates the effects that GSE will have on your tonsil stones. Something to keep in mind! Every step you need to take is covered in detail in our e-book, available on the home page.
Take care Steve, I would have responded much earlier if not for the email address issues! – Josh
Hi, i havent posted a comment in a while. I’d just like to say that i have continued to use GSE for the past 3 months. However, there are the odd times when i forget to use it 3 times a day but on most days i do. I also dip a cotton bud inside the cup n rub it on my tonsils. I still seem to find Bits of tonsil stones. I’m not sure whether to be glad i got them out or frustrated that they where still there (and forming) even though ive been regularly using GSE. I’ve read so many positive reviews on this site but i’d like to politely warn users that there may still be sneaky little stones lingering around so i would suggest rubbing your tonsils with a cotton bud to see if anything comes out. I use a different brand of GSE since it is the only brand available in the UK. can the difference in brand alter the affectiveness? I really hope i and everyone else suffering from this awful condition find a proper cure
I would say around 2-3 drops for a mouthful of mouthwash is about right. If you’re still noticing burning, I would use 1-2 drops and see if it makes a difference.
No I don’t think they do. GSE capsules will help your immune and digestive systems but in order for it to do it’s job for tonsil stones, it needs to cover and go inside the tonsil crypts where they form.
Hi Josh,
I have started using it and it really works , my mouth feels fresh and clean and I can’t feel the stones forming at the back of my throat anymore. My only bug bear is that it makes my tongue burn, how many drops should I be mixing with the water?
Thanks.
I m going to try the remedy, I hope it will work
Well just found this site from your youtube video and am wondering if using GSE capsules will have the same affect as the liquid that you’re using.
I’ve had tonsil stones for twenty years and this citrical grapefruit extract works like a dream.On my 5th day of 3 times a day and it has even stopped my post nasal drip.I will use this the rest of my life.Thanks Josh.
Wow, never thought I would see the day!! This stuff really does work!! I have had this grotesque problem on and off for years now and I have tried everything I can think of and still they came back
, i’ve only been using it for about 3 days but i’ve already noticed a big difference and i’m so pleased. Someone said in one of the earlier posts that it was going to be a chore to use this for the rest of their lives (along those lines anyway), I think its a small price to pay myself for not having to squeeze these horrid lumps out of my tonsils and be constantly paranoid about my breath! Thanks Josh, if I hadnt seen this on youtube I would never have found out about this stuff!
this stuff really works it may take a few weeks to eradicate the problem but it truly does work …..thanks josh thankyou very much
@scared B
Hey there,
We can’t get it in Australia because it is a high concentration product which is only available to pharmacists. I had it shipped from America for about $20 USD. Try iHerb, it arrived in a few days.
@Ricky Lee
Hi Ricky, from my experience, after using GSE for two weeks the deep crypts that have, have mostly been empty when i used the GSE 3 times a day. However, i do still find very small, odourless pieces of food when i use a cotton bud to apply some of the gse. I guess these are the food particles that get mixed with bacteria. So far i have been suprised and satisfied by the results ive been getting. However, if i rub a cotton bud on my crypt i can still smell a weaker version of the nasty tonsil stone smell. If this smell can be detected by others around me, i don’t know. In regards to your question, before i started using GSE i used to be very cautious of what i eat, now i am more confident in eating anything e.g ice cream. This is because if i regularly gargle with gse, i see no difference in the formation of tonsil stones
I’m gonna try this stuff out. Quick question for anyone who is willing to help me though. I know tonsil stones are not really bits of food in your tonsils like most ENT’s say, but when I eat certain foods they seem to be much, much worse. For me its stuff like almonds, peanuts, chips, popcorn…really anything solid that will be chewed into a small morsel then gets caught in the huge crypts of my scarred tonsils and then I assume the bacteria feeds on it and it becomes the stones. I’m no Doctor just going by my own wacky theory. But if I use this stuff and it works as intended will I be able to eat foods like that again without the small morsels forming new stones?
I know this is a weird question, but If anybody could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Gse will “not” help post nasal drip, check out one of these nasal irrigation units
to prevent post nasal drip.
Hey Steve, keep up the routine it only gets better =] The E-book is a digital download that’s free for everyone. All I ask is that you sign up to our email newsletter which is found on the front page under the first couple paragraphs. The link is provided through the email updates. Every time we write a new article (every 2-7 days) there’s a link at the bottom of the email that you can download the e-book.
Good luck and take care
The only symtoms I have is post nasal drip.
Will GSE clear this up–either by gargling or putting it in juice?
Ive been using GSE 4 a week now. About twice a day and sometimes 3. I have a deep crypt wer i get those small nasty yellow stones. Ive noticed that since ive been using GSE the hole has been empty. However i don’t want to get my hopes up because there may still be other stones that i havent discovered yet. I feel sumthing stuck on my tonsil from time to time and immediatly i start feeling paranoid. After i gargle GSE i leave some so i can dip a q-tip and rub my tonsil. This seems to work well as it gets stones out even some that are hiding. I also use smartmouth but i have to have it shipped to the UK because they dont sell it here. that sucks coz i have to pay £25 shipping fee. What is the e-book? and where can i find it?
That could work well Steve, test it out and let me know how it works for you.
hi everyone my name is brittany and of course i have such bad breath. tonsil stone have literally been ruining my life. i will give this stuff a try because its cheap and i will let everyone know if it works for me. i have tried other things and like most people after a few hours my bad breath comes back. i’ll keep everyone updated. im a bit skeptical but we shall see.
Thanks for your reply. I really hope im not bugging you with all these questions but just like you i have tried a lot of products that have failed. Another thing i want to ask is since i don’t have a curved syringe do u think i cud perhaps dip a cotton swab in the solution and rub it in the crypts? Ive been using cotton swabs to get stones out for almost 2 months now. At first i only noticed small white pieces. But i was horrified when one day i noticed a deep crypt full of yellowy pieces. Thats when i came across your video on youtube which really helped.
Hey Steve, I apologize for your experience from Citrosept. If it’s a link on my website to it let me know and I will delete it. I typically add the drops first, then fill the medicine cup almost totally full. Essentially you want enough to have a good mouthful of solution. The reason for this is the more GSE mouthwash you have in your mouth, the more the liquid will create pressure pushing down into your tonsil crypts which is where you want it to go.
I bought the citrosept brand and i have been using it for 2 days now. Well actually i first ordered from the website but after 6 days without any mail confirming despatch i got frustrated and ordered again but this time from amazon. The amazon one came in 2 days which i was pleased about. However the one i ordered from the website seems like it will never arrive so thats £10 gone down the drain. I have a few questions if u don’t mind answering. Firstly, do u add the water first or the GSE? Secondly, If i add the GSE first to the cup, then how much water should i add? to the top, middle etc
Thank you, your answers will be appreciated.
I can’t suggest any brand other than nutribiotic unfortunately. The site seems like it’s still under construction as well.
Hi, i was wondering will any brand of GSE work or is it just this specific brand? could u please reply. they don’t sell this brand in the UK but they have a different one called Citrosept.
could u have a look at the wesbite and let me know. thank you
Anny, I’ve not found GSE to help with PND, but I have found that nasal irrigation has helped tremendously! Check our “product reviews” category to the left to get some ideas for PND help =]
Josh,
This information is great, I for one really appreciate it. I’ve had tonsil stones for years as well and they have been especially active lately. However, I’ve noticed that I have an increased amount of post nasal drip as well. Did you have this symptom and if so will the GSE help in this case?
Hey D, to be honest with I’m not sure if it’s ok to swallow for breastfeeding mothers. I would just gargle with it if you’re nursing. Normally it is safe to swallow in fact we’ve had numerous people describe nothing but good effects from using GSE internally.
Hi Josh,
So I bought the GSE. Do I gargle with it and swallow it or not? Also is it safe for brestfeeding mothers? Thanks.
Hi Josh, Thanks so much for the information ! It was suggested to me to have a tonsillectomy to cure tonsil stones, but I’m hoping to avoid that at all costs. I’m going to check out this product and cross my fingers it helps ! Thks for your research and for posting
Hey Alvin, actually check the link again, go there and to the “right” of where the product picture is, it says “size”; select the 2oz size it’s only $5.99 now! It’s actually dropped in price not increased =]
Take Care! – Josh Katherman
Hey Ramesh, I would recommend just gargling with GSE, not consuming it. While the brand I recommend (nutribiotic) contains nothing that can harm you at anything close to moderate levels, I’m merely endorsing it’s effects on stopping tonsil stone growth. I don’t know much about GSE ingested internally, although I here it’s suppose to regulate the digestive system quite well!
Gargle! *thumbs up*
Take Care – Josh Katherman
Hello, I’ve been having tonsil stones for almost a decade now. I’ve checked amazon.com out and the price for this GSE is $16.65, not $9.90 like you’ve mentioned. Have the price increased? I from Singapore by the way. (:
Hi, i was going thru the gsr, can advise how exactly do we have to use it. Whether gargle or consume??

@andrew
Get a waterpik to flush it out ….you can ask any dentist for one. There’s a brand called “monoject 412″. Here’s a website that sells them…….. http://kitkraft.biz/product.php?productid=1460 but I’m sure there’s a lot of other wbesites that do. You could probably put the GSE in there as well. Hope this helps mate.
hey, i have a realy big tonsil, and i have had tonsil stones come out. but i havent seen any on my tonsils, and nothing has came out of my mouth for atleast 4 months now. but my tonsils are still big im not sure if they are still there or not, but theres no way im taking the risk of bad breath, so il be sure to pick this one up. I’ve looked for ways to improve breath for ages but havent found, im going to pick this up tonight, and il be sure to get back to you on this one.
alright i have 1 huge problem, this is day 3 now from gargling, i been having this tonsil stone thats suck in one of the crypt holes for along time now, it wont move its to far in but i can see it, how can i take it out? i been really hard gargling but its still there!
“get the wash and not the paste” Are you referring to Smartmouth? If so, it’s not a necessity in preventing tonsil stones. It’s more of an extra preventative measure to ensure fresh breath.
Now andrew, if your bad breath is JUST from tonsil stones and nothing else, grapefruit seed extract WILL stop them from forming! But you have to make sure you’re using it correctly. If it’s burning your tonsils you might be using a drop too much try using one less drop in your mixture. I sure hope you didn’t use it at full strength! You HAVE to use it gargling three times a day, after breakfast, after lunch, and before you go to bed. Gargling as long as you can three times in a row each time you brush. Again avoid things like eating before you go to bed.
Let us know how it worked after a week or so, as long as you use it correctly we’d love to hear your results!
(PS: GSE does taste super bitter! If it’s way overwhelming then you’re using too much GSE in your mix)
i am actually gonna buy at gse at vitammshopp and smart wash at walmart today, would be alright if i just get the wash and not the paste? cuzz i am alittle short on doug~
Andrew, make sure to at least TRY to use it three times a day. I can’t promise total effectiveness if you just use it every now and then. I knew my breath was bad because I could taste it in my mouth. I could physically “smell” my bad breath but I could taste and people even told me I had bad breath hah.. it was quite embarrassing to say the least. I would brush my teeth and within 2 or 3 hours my mouth would feel like absolute garbage. I could tell the other products didn’t work because that nasty taste would ALWAYS return to my mouth. In fact, when I was trying therabreath a long time ago (way before I started this site) I was so desperate for it to work that I would bring it to my job and use it every couple hours but after a couple weeks of no results I gave up.
But seriously give it a good effort and I’m sure it will work for you! Make yourself use it three times a day gargling for as long as you can, taking a breath through your nose, gargling again, breathing, then gargling for the third time. Doing that three times a day. The main goal is to not do things like eating before you go to bed without brushing and gargling. Or skipping a day or two in between, those are both things that could stop the process of eliminating tonsil stone growth.
alright i bought the Nutribiotic – Gse Liquid Concentrate, 4 fl oz liquid” from amazon with free s&h. i hope this works!
oh yeah… how did you know if your breath smelled or not?
you know its unconsious you can’t tell if you have horrible body ordor or fecal breath cuzz its you.. how did you know ? and how did you know if you smelled after testing the other stuff that didn’twork and worked??
Hey again Andrew heh =]
I actually dont’ invest that much time maybe 2 or 3 hours a week. I started this site a little while ago because I suffered from tonsil stones and through searching online for a solution found that there was NOTHING, absolutely nothing that worked! I bought Therabreath, BreathRX, any and every product you could imagine, K-12 Aktiv from TheraBreath. None of it worked, not to the least bit. I’m a web designer for a company in State College, PA; With my background I decided to whip up a site that would HOPEFULLY save people that suffer from tonsil stones some money, letting them know not to waste their time and money on the products I’ve already wasted “my” time and money on!
I only endorse products that work and have worked for every, or almost every person that tries them. Concerning GSE, you DO have to use it three times a day (at least from my experiences) to stop tonsil stone growth. But after you use it for a while you’re not using it to cover up bad breath three times a day, because after you use it while you could go easily a full day with only brushing your teeth once and have fresh breath the entire day. The 3 day ritual is simply to prevent them from forming again.
I hope I answered everything and I hope you give it an honest effort!
It’s been about 3 or 4 months since I tested GSE and found it works better than ANYTHING I’ve ever tried to stop tonsil stones.
I have almost completely recovered from the “self-conscious” state that I was experiencing due to bad breath. I sometimes still find myself not talking face to face with someone but it’s no surprise considering I’ve lived my entire life not being able to talk to people close up. But I know I can now because I made myself do it so many times right after GSE started working for me and there’s no funny faces or turning of heads when I talk close.
If the tonsil stones are deep, like mine, when you gargle make sure to get as far back in your throat as you can, keeping your head at the furthest angle backwards you can, I also make an “O” and “AAA” sound when I’m gargling (sounds funny) to flex and move my tonsils around to ensure that GSE gets as far in the crypts as it can. Dissolving or coming out, i’m not sure, but what I am sure of is they disappear!
oh important ..why are investing all your time on this webpage? why have you created this website?
not to be rude or anything just want to know.. other then that fact your testing things out~
josh i to suffer for mental problems from this. after 24 years of my life i narrowed it all down to horrible odor coming from the back of my head which smells like crap or cronic tonsil stones, which i do get allot. i have found a minor cure for the horrible odor on the back of my head the or what people call the “Bold spot” but not the horrible garbage smell from my breath. and i am still paranoid and i this. this has transformed me into a deep mental state where no normal human has gone before , i also have huge speech problems cuzz i got paranoid if i talk people will smell it so i talked fast and now i have a major speech problem lol.
my question is how long has it been since you realized the gfs you said cured your tonsil problem???
and are you starting to recover from your mental peranoida ? and how many time do you think about it in a day? ex. checking your self if your breath stinks while your at work or somthing…like that?
and what would happen if your tonsil stones are deep in the pits of your tonsil stones where you can’t get it out with your fingers or anything will it all dissvole or come out sooner or later??
take care, andrew~
They seem to disappear after anywhere from 3 days to just over a week depending on how bad you have them. So whether they disintegrate from GSE or simply stop forming and fall apart naturally from lack of growing condition, i’m not sure. But what I, and so many others, have found out is that it works! Take Care gaby
will the tonsil stones dissinagrate with the GSE?
Hey scared B,
Well I’ll admit your situation was the same as mine; I would not notice a bad smell after touching my tonsils, however I could just tell that I had bad breath from SOMETHING, and it wasn’t from oral hygiene. Tonsil Stones could very well be the cause of your breath problems. Hydrogen peroxide works well for bad breath but from my experiences it does nothing to eliminate tonsil stones.
So Amazon won’t ship to Africa? Excuse me if I sound ignorant but I’ve never had to ship anything to or from Africa before. I was under the assumption that Amazon shipped world-wide. Does ANY major carrier ship to you? If so I’d gladly help you out with shipping you some grapefruit seed extract.
Take Care – Josh
Nice post. Glad to know something actually works against the nasty stick bombs. I’ve been gettin the feelin of something stuck in my throat for sometime now. though I stick my finger in my mouth and on my tonsil, I do not percieve any foul smell on my finger. But I do get a feelin I have bad breath; comin from my nose and when I speak(when I see people touch their nose). could the tonsil stones be the cause.
I’ve been garglin with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water lately; it really helps with the sour taste. Is it okay? dunno how I can get the GSE ’cause I live in Africa. any help?
Hey Emma, first off I’m glad that it’s working for you! I’m fairly sure it won’t ever loose it’s effectiveness mostly because it isn’t an antibiotic, so there’s no chance of bacteria growing immune to it. I read a study some time ago that stated the fact that it’s beneficial that things can’t grow immune to GSE.
It is fairly acidic in it’s concentrated form, but I don’t think it will hurt your teeth anymore than (most definitely less than) a glass of orange juice. A safe way to bypass this, in case it is true is to gargle after you brush your teeth instead of before. The only reason I suggested before is because of it’s bitter taste. Again I have sensitive teeth and while using it over a month now I haven’t noticed any increase in sensitivity to any degree. But I’d say use it after you brush just to make sure, I’m glad you brought up that point!
Take Care Emma
Ive been using this in my routine for a few weeks now and it seems to be helping but i’m just curious/worried that the effect may not last. It seems this stuff works almost like an antibiotic, killing most of the bacteria, but i’m scared there will be some kind of bacterial resistance in which over time the surviving bacteria will multiply and then will be uneffected by the GSE. Maybe i’m paranoid, but I have finally been given a fairly hassle-free way to take care of this hopeless problem and I dont wanna lose it.
Another thing, in a post above you said this stuff is fairly acidic. If this is the case than isnt the worst thing we can do is brush our teeth after gargling with it? I’m worried brushing after using this will erode the enamal on teeth. Dentists say you shouldnt brush after eating/drinking anything acidic for this reason. Wouldnt it apply here?
Perfect, that answers the question – thank you! I ordered GSE from Amazon last night and it has already shipped. I am looking forward to trying this out and had lost all hope for a solution until now.
I’ve been testing it, and one time per week is not enough for me personally. I have large deep tonsil crypts so I had been getting tonsil stones worse than alot of people, so I might have to use it more than the average tonsil stone sufferer. I’d say two times a day should be sufficient for most people after the week period of three times a day, but depending on how bad you’re experiencing tonsil stones you might have to stick to three times a day. Experiment and see what works for you. I always brush my teeth three times a day anyways so I just use it as my pre-brush mouthwash, it’s part of my daily regimen now.
Sorry if this was already covered but after using GSE 3 times a week for one week straight how long should I then have to continue usage? I am assuming that if not used at least once or twice every day then the stones would begin to reappear. Is this correct?
Hey Gary,
Grapefruit seed extract has completely stopped all growth on tonsil stones in our tests, so any puss or bacteria that causes the smell is definitely gone as well. Just view it as part of your oral hygiene routine just like brushing your teeth. I actually just squeeze 3 drops right on my tongue and then put a little bit of water in my mouth. It’s way faster than measuring everything out. The main thing you have to do is make SURE you do it three times a day for around a week, and at the end of the week get someone you trust to check if you still have bad breath.
The ONLY permanent solution to tonsil stones (sometimes they comes from the adenoids not tonsils) is a tonsillectomy and usually doctors won’t agree to take your tonsils out just because you’re getting tonsil stones. Give grapefruit seed extract a try! Make sure you use it right and then get back to us on your results =] Take Care Gary, – Josh Katherman
I have a quick question about this stuff, I hate to be graphic / gross…but is sorta comes with the territory. Even after I use certain non-alcoholic mouthwashes for my bad breath, I notice that i if i stick my finger in throat and touch my tonsil crypts my finger will still smell of the stones. Does this grapefruit seed extract stuff actually clean up whatever pus/bacteria that causes the smell? I’m willing to try anything at this point, but its gonna suck having to use this stuff for the rest of my life to cope with this terrible condition.
Hi, nice post. I have been thinking about this topic,so thanks for posting. I’ll certainly be subscribing to your blog.
Hey Claudia, first off thanks for visiting! To answer you questions;
It’s absolutely safe to use daily, the only precaution I have is that it’s fairly acidic so you don’t want to gargle with it for 3 minutes at a time, 10 times a day. Stick with 3 times a day and for around a minute at a time. I haven’t noticed any sensitivity in my teeth at all so far.
I sometimes have a coating on my tongue as well, but it hasn’t gone away too much. Stay away from milk and coffee and you should notice a difference.
It’s been almost two weeks now, I use it twice a day and I FINALLY have FULL confidence about my breath! I eat anything I want and my breath is still fresh as can be! Even hours and hours after I’ve eaten.
I’ll be prayin with ya but I don’t think you’re going to need it
This stuff really works!!
Take care and give it a shot! Come back and tell us how it worked for you. – Josh Katherman
Hi, I Recently found this site and came across this recommendation. I am going to order some of this off amazon and pray for the best. Just a few quick questions if you don’t mind answering them…I would really appreciate it.
Do you think this stuff is safe with daily use? I mean, I hope it isnt abrasive, or doesnt stain teeth or anything.
Also, Im not sure about others but I ALWAYS have this gross white coating on my tongue. If you had the same, did it go away with the use of the GSE?
How has it been going for you after the initial 7 days? Does the effect seem to last?
Thank you. You may have saved my confidence if this works.

it seems to be this simple! And for the price it’s affordable and proven to be the most effective treatment for tonsil stones and bad breath that we’ve ever tried.
This is amazing is it truly works. I have heard good things about this method and I really need to try it out for myself. I would give anything to have this taste out of my mouth and fresh breath again…could this the solution really be this simple? I hope so…
