Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT Feeling tired and run down? Germs, bugs and viruses in your body drain strength from your immune system. If your immune system is functioning at its peak efficiency you will not even be aware that your body is fighting off these attackers. But a weak immune system will leave you drained and feeling " off colour " . The small evergreen olive tree was recognised in ancient times as a good food source and for its leaves, which contain effective and natural wide-spectrum antibiotic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal compounds. You may have heard of the term " pathogen " . A pathogen is a thing that causes disease in the body. Oleuropein is a chemical found in Olive leaves. Oleuropein is a potent anti-microbial that has inhibited the growth of almost every human pathogen it has been tested against, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa (single celled organisms), fungi and yeast. Scientific tests have shown that unlike synthetic antibiotics, it destroys only the bad bacteria and protects the good. Medical research suggests that when Oleuropein is taken orally, it searches out and " inactivates " the bacteria. It does this by dissolving the outer lining of the infectious germs and then it penetrates the infected cells, thus inhibiting the replication of the bacteria. Once the immune system is over-burdened with some types of pathogen, (virus, fungi, yeast, bacteria, parasites) disease takes a foothold and sometimes it takes months and even years to manifest itself. Meanwhile, the pathogens are in your body draining strength from the immune system. When Oleuropein is taken orally, two natural enzymes in the body (esteraize and beta-glucosidase) convert the Oleuropein to elolenic acid. Elolenic acid derived from this source helps strengthen the immune system. Unlike synthetic antibiotics, olive leaf extract destroys only the bad bacteria and protects the good. Olive leaf extract has been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, help arteries, reduce twitching of muscles and possesses antioxidant effects. It also reduces a fever, and is also used in treating persistent fevers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the world does this stuff distinguish between good bacteria and bad bacteria? Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several herbs that work this way. rusty - " Alobar " <alobar Sunday, February 02, 2003 10:30 AM Re: Olive Leaf Extract > > - > <marianne2406 > <DietaryTipsForHBP >; > <FriendsForHealthNaturally >; > <healthwithrealattitude >; > > Sunday, February 02, 2003 9:03 AM > Olive Leaf Extract > > > > OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT > > Oleuropein is a chemical found in Olive leaves.

" Echinacea polysaccharides have also been shown to *enhance* " macrophage phagocytosis " and stimulate macrophages to produce a number of immune potentiating compounds (e.g. tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon, and interleukin. Furthermore, macrophages have been shown to destroy tumor cells in tissue culture and inhibit " Candida albicans " infection in rats infected intravenously with a lethal dose of Candida albicans. The interactions of macrophages are most likely responsible for much of the immune system enhancement of Echinacea polysaccharides.
