OLIVE LEAF: NATURE'S ANTIVIRAL

Olive leaf extract is a powerful antiviral and antibacterial agent,

and it is also the first botanical mentioned in the Bible: " And the

dove came in to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth was an

olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated

from off the earth. " (Genesis 8:11 King James Bible.)

 

A few thousand years later, in Ezekiel 47:12, God speaks of a

tree: " The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for

medicine. " Then, 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. "

 

In 1854, the Pharmaceutical Journal carried a report by Daniel

Hanbury, wherein he said he had discovered olive leaf was an

effective tincture and that he had used it successfully in treating

his patients in Britain. Dr. Hanbury believed that a bitter

substance in the leaves was the key healing ingredient, and he was

right. (56)

 

Many years later, scientists isolated a bitter substance in the

olive leaf and named it oleuropein. This chemical is what makes the

olive tree resistant to insect and bacterial damage. Oleuropein is

removed from olives when they are cured, so eating olives alone is

not going to supply you with this remarkably curative substance.

 

In 1962, about 100 years later, an Italian researcher reported that

ingesting oleuropein lowered blood pressure. Other European

researchers confirmed this. They also discovered that olive leaf

extract could increase blood flow in coronary arteries, relieve

arrhythmias, and prevent intestinal muscle spasms, an important

element in treating hepatitis C victims.

 

A Dutch researcher further determined that the active ingredient in

oleuropein is a substance called elenolic acid. In the late 1960s,

when drug experimentation was at its best, scientists at Upjohn, a

major American pharmaceutical company, demonstrated that elenolic

acid inhibited the growth of viruses. In fact, it stopped every

virus that it was tested against.

 

Medical researcher Morton Walker, D.P.M., wrote about olive leaf

extract in the July 1996 issue of the Townsend Letter for Doctors

and Patients: " the intake of flavonoids is correlated with a lower

incidence of cardiovascular disease indicating that the daily intake

of olive oil and/or olive leaf extract containing phenols will

likely bring on a similar result. " (57)

 

 

 

According to James R. Privitera, M.D., some of the unique properties

of olive leaf are as follows:

 

· An ability to interfere with critical amino acid production

essential for the survival of viruses;

· An ability to contain viral infection and/or spread of it by

inactivating the viruses or by preventing virus shedding, budding,

or assembly at the cell membrane;

· The ability to directly penetrate infected cells and stop viral

replication;

· In the case of retroviruses, olive leaf extract is able to

neutralize the production of transcriptase (a protease), which is

essential for enabling retroviruses such as HIV to alter the RNA of

a healthy cell; and

· It can stimulate phagocytosis, an immune system response in which

cells ingest harmful microorganisms and foreign matter (such as

bacteria and viruses.) (58)

 

Olive leaf extract has been shown to be effective against herpes,

flu and colds, bacterial infections, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,

chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, vaginal yeast infections, skin

conditions, malaria, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

 

Considering the serious side effects and shortcomings of

pharmaceutical drugs, it would be wise to at least try olive leaf

for these problems prior to exposing ones' self to chemical

synthetics.

 

During my treatment I took:

One 500 mg. of olive leaf extract capsule three days a week.

I have lyme disease and two co-infections and my naturopath doctor is having me

take Total Virx by Nutri-West. Among other things, it contrains Olive Leaf

Powder and Olive Leaf Extract. I am taking other products as well on my own. I

have shown a great improvement in the LD in the past four months of treatment as

well as and taking supplements.
