'I would be very cautious about taking grape seed extract if you have
MS because it increases GAMMA INTERFERON.

Grape Skin Extract seems to do a lot of good for folks with MS because
it lowers MMP-9s. I suggest everyone with MS should find out why
lowering MMP-9s is a good idea. Hint - MMP-9s eat holes in BBB and cut
up myelin. Check pub meb for details and/or read this dot pdf article
in my web storage area.

p.s I would be glad to expand on this subject if asked. I have posted
on this many times before."

I have a question, please.
Should a person with arthritis be equally concerned? I have arthritis
and I grind up grape seeds along with the grapes and cranberries when
I make a smoothie. It sounds like I should figure out a different
method so as to avoid chopping the grape seeds (or chewing them). The
grape skins are good, as well?

Any reply will be greatly appreciated.
