hi there,
Yes I used to take grape seed extract. It took the swelling down for about a month and then the swelling came back. I have heard that it is very good for some people, Vicc, Sandel and GreyHoundLover takes Grape Seed Extract and they say that it is very good.
This is a website about GSE http://nccam.nih.gov/health/grapeseed/
I hope the website helps you
Please let us know how you get on with it
Thanx
Alison
