Olive Leaf Extract

" Nature's Antibiotic "

 

Olive leaf extract is being hailed as the new " Superherb " in the

battle against many new infections caused by a new breed

of " superbugs " ranging from viruses, drug resistant bacteria, fungi and

parasites.

Research in the U.S.A. has found olive leaf extract may help to

treat colds, flu and chronic fatigue syndrome. Olive leaf extract is

currently being tested on patients with shingles and HIV. It is

thought to inactivate bacteria by dissolving the outer lining of the

microbes and to kill viruses by interfering with their protein

production. Ref. 10

The immune system is our greatest health asset.

It protects us from an increasing number of new and exotic viruses,

antibiotic resistant bacteria, fungi, parasites and toxic chemicals.

The immune system is the protector of the body, and is itself worthy

of protection and support, as it faces the challenges of

dangerous " superbug " invaders. Many people suffer with immune system

degradation and inexplicable afflictions, brought on by disease

producing micro-organisms. Little wonder that people are turning

towards natural and non-toxic ways to strengthen their immune

system. An increasing number of micro-organisms have become

resistant to the drugs we have relied upon for many years and it has

become vitally important to harness the anti-biotic properties of

the organic and yet powerful substances that we find in our natural

environment.

Olive leaf extract

Olive leaf extract has been used as a natural antibiotic for

thousands of years, but it is only recently that scientific research

has shown that its active ingredient oleuropein, has powerful

healing properties, and can fight bacteria, viruses, fungi and

parasites that cause infections and disease. In 1969 the active

components in olive leaves, namely elenolic acid and calcium

elenolate were isolated and tested by researchers at the Upjohn

Company. Their results were exciting as they found that these active

components inhibited the growth of every virus, bacteria, fungus and

protozoon that they were tested against. Ref. 1

This monumental discovery now provides society with a highly

effective food supplement, which acts as a natural disease

preventative measure with broad -spectrum anti-microbial activity.

Olive leaf extract works to prevent the onset of colds, influenza

and a broad range of other viruses, yeast, fungal and mould

invasions, bacterial infections, and parasites. If used in a high

enough dosage olive leaf extract can expel worms from the intestines

and is helpful for those with unhealthy micro-organisms in the gut.

These results have been published in many different journals and are

taken from the clinical experiences of practicing health

professionals utilizing olive leaf extract for patients with

infections and immune dysfunction. References 3,4,5,6.

Research into olive leaf extract conducted in Hungary has shown such

positive results against a broad range of infections that the

Hungarian government has adopted olive leaf extract for its Medicare

system as the official anti-infectious disease remedy. Ref.10.

Olive Leaf fights the Herpes Virus.

In 1969 the research of Dr. Renis working with the Upjohn company,

proved that a compound of oleuropein from the olive leaf could kill

all viruses, including the herpes virus, against which it was

tested. The virucidal activity of oleuropein was due to its

interaction with the protein coat of the virus and not with its

genetic material. Ref. 1. In 1992 French biologists working at the

Laboratoire de Pharmacognosie, Faculte de Pharmacie in Rennes

France, found that all of the herpesviruses were inhibited or killed

by extracts from olive leaf. They supported their findings by citing

28 references to the virucidal qualities of oleuropein in their

report. Ref. 2.

Olive Leaf reduces Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

In the U.S.A. the use of olive leaf extract has become very popular

with doctors, naturopaths and the general public where it is being

prescribed for the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

CFS is associated with immune dysfunction, which allows infections

with a variety of opportunistic microbes from herpes-viruses,

retroviruses, fungi and parasites. Many sufferers will have an

overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans, along with a chronic

active infection with the Epstein-Barr Virus ( EBV or glandular

fever ). By the end of early adulthood almost everyone has

detectable levels of EBV anti-bodies in their blood, meaning that

they have at some stage, been invaded by this virus. In those with a

healthy immune system the virus is kept in a dormant or latent state

and does not produce any symptoms. If the host's immune system

becomes weakened or overloaded the glandular fever virus (Epstein-

Barr Virus-EBV) begins to reactivate and cause disease. EBV belongs

to the herpes family of viruses, and all herpes viruses tend to

reactivate in those with compromised immune systems such as in

cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS ) and treatment

with chemotherapy.

Dr. W.J. Martin, head of molecular immunopathology at the University

of Southern California Medical Centre has found strange retroviruses

called " foamy viruses " in a high percentage of patients with CFS.

These patients complained of persistent debilitating, flu-like

symptoms similar to CFS. Other viruses that are being studied as

possible causes of CFS are HTLV-2, entero-viruses such as the polio

virus, herpes-virus type VI and the cytomegalovirus. These kinds of

viruses reside in most people but are kept in a dormant state by our

immune systems. Until the virus fighting properties of olive leaf

extract were recently rediscovered and proved, there has been very

little specific treatment to overcome virally induced CFS. Now it is

possible to fight these viruses by taking sufficient quantities of

olive leaf extract capsules in repeated doses. It is the hydrolyzed

components of elenolic acid with its calcium elenolate salt that are

bound by nature into the structure of the olive leaf that are able

to fight these viruses so effectively.

Your Immune Health Check-Up

 

Do you have the following problems:

& #61607; 1. Recurrent viral infections

& #61607; 2. Herpes ( genital and cold sores )

& #61607; 3. Frequent colds and flu.

& #61607; 4. Inflammation and/or infection in the upper

respiratory

tract eg. sinuses, ear infections and sore throats and swollen

cervical glands.

& #61607; 5. Recurrent bronchitis

& #61607; 6. Cystitis and UTI's

& #61607; 7. Recurrent skin infections

& #61607; 8. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

& #61607; 9. Candida and other yeast infections

& #61607; 10. Unhealthy micro-organisms in the intestines

(dysbiosis)

& #61607; 11. Glandular fever ( Epstein Barr virus )

& #61607; 12. Reduced stamina and resistance when under stress

 

 

Do you really want to put up with these things for much longer ?

Do you want to rely upon antibiotics and other drugs that may be

toxic to the liver, kidney and immune system ? These drugs usually

become increasingly ineffective with long term use and may breed

resistant and unhealthy micro-organisms in the body.

 

 

Tips to Strengthen Your Immune System

• Eat immune boosting foods such as raw fruits and vegetables,

raw garlic and onion, raw vegetable juices, raw fenugreek, chilli,

ginger, free range eggs, oily fish ( Alaskan salmon, sardines, tuna ),

avocados, fresh wheat-germ, flaxseed ( ground freshly and cold

pressed oil ), barley grass ( juice or sprouted seeds ), wheat-grass

juice, freshly sprouted seeds and beans, cold pressed seed and

vegetable oils, fresh seafood, vegetable soups, legumes ( beans,

lentils, peas ), raw nuts and seeds. Seeds are best eaten freshly

ground or sprouted. Eat mushrooms such as field mushrooms and the

more exotic varieties such as maitake, shiitake and rei-shi. Sea-

weeds such as kelp, dulse, agar-agar, nori, arame, kombu, wakame and

hijiki help to boost the immune system. The cruciferous vegetables

broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts and kohlrabi contain

phyto-nutrients that protect against infections and cancer. Foods

containing plant hormones known as phyto-estrogens such as

isoflavones and lignans are known to reduce the risk of many cancers

such as breast, uterine and prostate cancer. Good sources of these

plant hormones are soy beans and their products, alfalfa and

flaxseeds.

• Avoid mucous producing foods such as animal milk, cheese,

ice-cream, cream, preserved meats, margarines and processed foods.

• Ensure adequate intake of the most important minerals for

the immune system---

 

 

Magnesium 400 mg. daily

Zinc chelate 20 mg. daily.

Selenium 200 mcg. daily. Ref. 11

These minerals are needed for the immune system to fight viruses and

fungi and are anti-inflammatory.

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle by avoiding smoking and excess

alcohol. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of filtered water daily and take

regular exercise.

• Ensure adequate vitamin C intake by eating citrus fruits,

red and green capsicums, kiwi fruits and take a daily supplement.

• Drink herbal teas such as dandelion, golden seal and green

tea, echinacea, which can be sweetened with honey if desired.

• Take the superherb Olive Leaf extract in a maintenance dose

of one capsule twice daily, everyday to protect against a wide range

of infections. I recommend brands of olive leaf extract that contain

at least 10% of the active ingredient called oleuropein, as weaker

concentrations may not be strong enough.

 

 

Who Can Benefit From Immune Boosting Tips?

1. Those with chronic and/or recurrent viral infections such as

colds, flu, bronchitis, swollen glands, laryngitis, tonsillitis,

sore throats, sinusitis, ear infections, glandular fever, genital

herpes, cold sores, shingles and wart viruses.

 

Indeed olive leaf

extract has been found to kill all viruses it was tested against in

laboratory tests and so is worthwhile in those with any chronic

viral infection that is not responding to conventional therapies.

2. Those wanting to improve endurance, stamina and perform in

peak condition during times of stress, travel and increased physical

exertion.

3. Those with candida, tinea, and other yeast and fungal

infections of the intestines, vagina, skin, nails and respiratory

tract.

4. Those with cystitis and urinary tract infections.

5. Those with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), caused by

recurrent or chronic bacterial, fungal and viral infections.

6. Those with skin problems such as rashes, impetigo, warts and

blemishes. These problems are often caused by fungi such as

pityriasis versicolor and candida, or bacteria and viruses.

7. Those with unhealthy micro-organisms ( flora ) such as

parasites growing in the intestines. Human parasites include

helminth worms, protozoa, bacteria, fungi and viruses. Symptoms of

parasitic infections are, gas, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome,

bloating, joint pains, allergies, anaemia, chronic fatigue and

immune dysfunction.

 

 

How do you take olive leaf extract ?

Maintenance dose: take one 500 mg capsule, twice daily just before

eating. This will increase your resistance against infections of all

kinds and support the immune system. If you are travelling you can

increase the dose to 4 capsules daily to protect against increased

exposure to pollutants and germs present in large city areas.

If you are suffering with a bad cold, influenza, respiratory

infection, sinus infection or excessive mucus take two capsules

every six hours.

For more acute infections such as sore throats, swollen glands,

cystitis or feverish conditions it may be necessary to take 3

capsules every six hours.

 

 

Side effects: If olive leaf extract causes micro-organisms ( such as

bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites ) to die off rapidly the body

may release toxins causing a " die-off " effect which may cause some

symptoms such as headaches and fatigue. If this happens reduce dose

by half or discontinue the capsules for 3 days.

Olive leaf extract is not just a tool of disease prevention, it also

offers a new safe and effective therapeutic substance in the ongoing

battle against dangerous micro-organisms and chronic infections.
