The active component of Olive leaf has been found to:

* Powerfully strengthens the immune system

* Normalizes blood pressure

* Increases blood flow in the coronary system

* Helps inhibit oxidation of low-density lipids (bad cholesterol)

* Helps prevent intestinal muscle spasms

* Neutralizes the production of reverse transcriptase as well as protease

* Inactivates harmful microorganisms by dissolving their outer lining: proving highly effective against a remarkably wide range of viruses.

* Exhibit powerful anti-parasitic and anti-fungal properties.

* Acts effectively at low concentrations without harmful influences on the host cell mechanism

* Be extremely safe and non-toxic, even at high concentrations.

in preliminary studies the olive leaf appears good for the skin, heart and effective against nearly all viruses. Olivus tea appears to act like many antioxidants to enhance the body's natural immune system.

Olive leaves have been reported to:

• Enhance the immune system
• Increase energy
• Have an internal cleansing action
• Act as an anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic
• Lower blood pressure, fats, and reduce blood sugar

Olive Leaf Tea, a natural herbal antibiotic and antioxidant that can help protect you from many diseases. Olive Leaf Tea's Natural Antibiotic qualities fight viruses, bacteria and funguses

 

Olive Leaf fights the Herpes, cold sores, Chlamydia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and other Viruses

Did you know that as many as 90% of us have been exposed to this viral infection? And most people who have it show no symptoms! These kinds of viruses reside in most people but are kept in a dormant state by our immune systems. Olive leaf helps inhibit and prevent infection by viruses and retroviruses.

Herpes & Shingles
Olive Leaf is used to boost energy levels. People with low energy levels who are prone to colds and viruses may benefit from taking Olive Leaf as a nutritional supplement. As Olive Leaf appears to have a beneficial effect on the immune system helping fight the effects of herpes I and II, dental infections, shingles (herpes zoster) and recurring urinary tract infections.

Unlike antibiotics, Olive Leaf extract destroys only the bad bacteria and protects the good. This is particularly beneficial for people who may be prone to developing side effects from antibiotics such as thrush, bloating and diarrhoea. Prescribed antibiotics are necessary in many cases to control infection, however, Olive Leaf may help to prevent infection and the need for antibiotics.

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, retro viruses, fungi and parasites.

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 (both oral and genital), 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.

In 1992 French biologists working at the Laboratoire de Pharmacognosie, Faculte de Pharmacie in Rennes France, found that all of the herpes viruses 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.

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 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 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.

re: diet and slowing herpes:

The secret to alleviating your herpes has a lot to do with your diet as it affects your immune system. Most important is to avoid sugar completely, especially avoid soda pop, shakes, candies, cookies, cakes, and ice cream. These are main sources of sugar which fuels viral growth and shuts down your immunity system for about 2-3 hours. [** Earth Clinic's additional note: completely AVOID any diet products containing aspartame as this ingredient can trigger a herpes outbreak within hours.**]

Secondly avoid all fried foods, and fast foods, these harm the liver with needed toxins, and most obvious is smoking and drinking. Alcholic drinks destroys the liver by hardening it. Vegetable oils and margarine are the worse offenders as they are both hydrogenated and trans fatty acid, which is forbidden by farmers in feeding pigs. Pigs will die from hardening of arteries if you feed pigs with vegetable oil rich foods. Eating just fresh vegetables -uncooked and unsweetened salad dressing, such as olive oil and lemon. Partially boiled eggs is helpful as it contains lecithin and will help the liver recover. Take some zinc supplements, especially zinc acetate and/or zinc gluconate as these zinc compounds are strongly antiviral. One secret to curing herpes that my friend mentioned sometime ago, is to take aspirin twice a day along with a strong black coffee. For some reason, aspirin has been shown to be strongly antiviral. If it wasn't for aspirin with some caffeine, my sister would have died of pneumonia. For some reason, authorities do not like using aspirin, but they do work on herpes just as well.
