Olive Leaf Extract

For a Healthy Immune System

Disease causing pathogens are viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast and parasites, all of which can live and multiply inside your body for years, causing an energy consuming burden on your immune system. Disease can acquire a strong hold in your body, causing ill health to become a way of life. Your immune system is the only thing on this earth that can cure you of disease, not drugs, not herbs, not magic, not anything except your immune system.

So feed your immune system good nutrients like olive leaf extract, plenty of rest, lots of good water, moderate exercise, and stay away from alcohol, tobacco, or large amounts of sugar, salt and coffee.

One of the most common disease causing pathogens is “Candida”, a single cell fungi that lives within our blood stream, releasing powerful poisons and toxins as it multiplies. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates; by age six months, 90% of all babies born in the U. S. will test positive for Candida. By adulthood, virtually “All” humans play host to Candida Albicans and are thus engaged in a life long relationship.

Later in life, the Candida can manifest itself into various symptoms as follows:

Investigations over the last decade or two have yielded discovery after discovery of natural compounds with promising health and medical potential.

Some of these compounds stimulate the production of anti-cancer enzymes in the body. Others bind and neutralize certain carcinogenic chemicals. Other have antioxidant effects,protecting the body from oxidation damage caused by harmful molecular fragments known as free radicals that contribute to aging and illness.

These natural compunds are found abundantly in roots, stems, leaves, fruits and vegetables. They go by a variety of scientific names like polyphenols, flavonoids, flavonols, pycnogenols, glucosinolates, isoprenoids, carotenoids, tocotrienols and proanthocyanadins. To keep things simple and pronounceable, we will just call them phytochemicals or phytonutrients. Phyto stems from the Greek word for plant.

One of the discoveries is oleuropein (pronounced oh-lee-or-oh-pin), a substance found in the olive leaf. It has been found that a natural supplement of olive leaf extract contains substantial medicinal benefits. Among them, boosting energy and aiding in the treatment of herpes and other viral conditions, flu and colds, fungal infections, chronic fatigue and allergies.

In Revelations, at the very end of the New Testament, there is an angelic vision of a "tree of life" whose leaves "were for the healing of the nations." Today, as modern medicine increasingly embraces phytochemicals it is interesting to speculate about the biblical "tree of life."

Was it the olive tree?

The first formal medical mention of the olive leaf - an account describing its ability to cure severe cases of fever and malaria -- ocurred about 150 years ago.

In 1854, the Pharmaceutical Journal carried a report by one Daniel Hanbury and contained the following simple healing recipe:

Boil a handful of leaves in a quart of water down to half its original volume. Then administer the liquid in the amount of a wineglass every 3 or 4 hours until the fever is cured.

The author said he discovered the effective tincture in 1843 and had used it successfully. This method became well known in England for treating sick Britons returning from His or Her Majesty's tropical colonies. The author believed that a bitter substance in the leaves was the key healing ingredient.

Jumping way ahead (to make a long story short), by the late 1960's, research by scientists at Upjohn, a major American pharmaceutical company, showed that elenolic acid also inhibited the growth of viruses. In fact, it stopped every virus that it was tested against. Among others, the substance was found to counteract a variety of viruses associated with the common cold of humans.

The compound worked effectively at low concentrations without any harmful influence on host cell mechanisms, the American researchers concluded. That meant they believed it to be extremely safe and non-toxic, even at high doses.

Nevertheless, research and interest in olive leaf extracts has moved forward, primarily in Europe. Among the most recent findings are these:

In a series of experiments, oleuropein was found to inactivate bacteria by apparently dissolving the outer lining of microbes:
