olive leaf

September 3, 2001

Yes I have taken olive leaf as well as my neice, her husband and my husband's Uncles 89 yo and 90yo. I took olive leaf for a sinus infection as well as my neice's husband. The rest took it for parasite problems. It does work, the really funny thing about it we have found is it seems to attack wherever a problem had been, and we thought the infection was gone. I had a massive headache for one day, it felt my sinuses were going to explode for about one hour and I had various body aches for a few days. Then they went away to never return. It was a weird feeling, knowing I had a problem previously in an area to feel it being 'invaded and knocked out' is the only way I can describe it. The old uncles don't talk much and do not have the vocabulary or understanding to tell us much. They did get much better quicker. We have decided to give it to them for the rest of their lives. Someone else asked how long it could be taken, I have yet to find out that answer. But we want these old guys as healthy as we can get them, (we are their caretakers) so we will continue with it. As will I. Patty

I have not seen any limits to the term of use, as it works on a different

premise than say echinacea.

Thanks for the input Penny... I am determined to regain my health and have

been researching several things... I am sure after the total body cleanse I

will see a big difference as well.

God Bless,

I actually followed the bottles recommendation of one tab three times a day with meals. We give the old Uncles one tablet twice a day, with lunch and dinner. By the way, that was correct about going into a crisis. Sure happens and you cannot believe it knowing what is going on. It was actually interesting to diagnose what was going on with your own body during that time. Patty

How do you take it and what dosage?

I am reading a book called "Olive Leaf Extract" and it appears to be promising for a number of things.

I have also read in the book that if taken you will go through a healing crisis for 1 to 3 days or more for more serious troubles.

I appreciate your feedback as I check into everything before trying something new.

God Bless,

Jamie
