How Olive Leaf Tea Works

Olive trees are tough. They live a long time by producing Oleuropein which resists diseases and pests. The leaves of certain olive trees (Manzanillo and Mission) contain Oleuropein and other qualities that can be of benefit to people.

Olive Leaf Tea, a natural herbal antibiotic and antioxidant that can help or prevent many diseases. The active compounds Oleuropein and Eleonic Acid in Olive leaf tea have been reported to act as an Antimicrobial agent, which slows invaders enough for the body's natural immune system to react. The result is a natural antibiotic and antioxidant with similar effects to garlic and onions. Olive leaf tea can be enjoyed regularly as a preventative or used directly to combat ailments.

• An effective interference with certain amino acids production procedures necessary for a specific virus, bacterium, or microbe to grow.
• Interference with a viral infection and/or spread by inactivating viruses or by preventing virus shedding, budding, or assembly at the cell membrane.
• Direct penetration into infected host cells and irreversible inhibition of microbial replication.
• Neutralization of the retrovirus production of reverse transcriptase and protease. These particular enzymes are critical for a retrovirus such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to alter the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of a healthy cell.
• Directly stimulating phagocytosis, an immune system response to microbes of all types.

The human body has two enzymes (esteraize and beta-glucosidase) that convert Oleuropein to elolenic acid, a powerful compound that kills a wide range of bacteria. Elolenic acid has one left handed (levorotatory) and seven right handed (dextorotatory) molecules ­ the right handed is the mirror image of the left. It is the right handed form of elolenic acid that kills the bad bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, etc. As a result of these discoveries, this compound is fast becoming a rising star in the world of nutritional knowledge and healing. Since the process of converting Oleuropein to elolenic acid is a natural process that occurs in the body, the process cannot be patented. Olivus tea is made from the finest mature Manzanillo and Mission olive trees to provide the highest quality herbal product.

Some researchers such as biochemist Arnold Takemoto and rheumatologist Lisa Weinrib, M.D., say that olive leaf works for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome by slowing down the organisms reproductive cycle and letting the patient's immune system take over. Positive Health News reported on the success of olive leaf tea in AIDS-related illness by reducing viral load dramatically, increasing white blood count, and even reversing Kaposi's sarcoma.
