Olive leaf when trying to conceive, when pregnant and when breastfeeding?

Oct 13, 2017 by Sue Visser

Q AND A WITH SUE OCTOBER 2017

Q ) I have been using your Olive Leaf extract product for quite some time.

I have found it to be very effective.

I am a firm believer in your products and I have recommended it to many people that I know thus far.

My husband and I are going through the process of family planning.

I would like to continue using your Olive Leaf extract tablets during my pregnancy.

I would like to confirm the safety of doing so before, whilst and after pregnancy?

Thank you so much for producing such incredible products.

I am your biggest fan 🙂

 

A ) Thanks for believing and appreciating what grows on trees – God’s medicine! Here are links to provide more information about olive leaf and pregnancy. Although olive leaf remedies have been used by pregnant ladies to prevent malaria, I am not allowed to advise you. (MCC regulations stipulate that the product should not be used to diagnose or treat a condition.) Then why take it? Ha Ha. If you have been using it to overcome candidiasis and are worried about it returning once you conceive, type CANDIDA into our search box and follow alternative protocols, especially topping up on our Probiotic – 15 and Calcium complex that are very beneficial for pregnancy and lactation.

The general rule with herbs is: if in doubt, don’t. That applies to the first trimester. The exception being with a herbal remedy that is helping to raise progesterone levels, like chaste berry or the sweet potato tincture, for example. If they suddenly quit on these immediately after conception we have found that it terminates the pregnancy as progesterone levels are critical and need to be maintained. I hope that sharing this will give you a head start! All the best with a happy event, we look forward to another Healthy Happy baby! Love, Sue and the Nature Fresh Team.

Q and A with Sue 2010

ME chronic fatigue nutritionists did not help her 2010 Q & A

Q ) I was diagnosed with ME 5 yrs ago and was so ill that I couldn’t get out of bed. My diet has been quite bad. I noted the blood type diet, BEST test and also candida comments on your website. My husband has spent thousands on tests/nutrionists and nothing has worked completely therefore I’ve also given up on eating only healthy foods and eat gluten/wheat/sugar.

During all this time I haven’t managed to clear my vaginal thrush!!! Even when I eat healthily – if I just eat one wrong thing it’s back! I used to eat yoghurt every day and all my tests could not show up anything and now I read on your website yoghurt is not good???!!!

Please could you let me know whether I should go for a BEST or Scio test and if the live blood analysis works as I’ve spent a fortune on blood tests but all come back as negative. I’ve been had saliva tests and hair tests sent off with no results. My nutritionist in the UK who ordered the last tests recommended glutamine for my leaky gut/candida which I never took.

Any sound good advice will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot

A ) You are one of many that have this problem. You do get disillusioned, I know. It is not about the money you spend. One cannot buy good results with expensive doctors or treatments. All you need is the right direction and some common sense. I do research and write about it for free! But you have to work at the diet and discipline to get the results. You also have to start believing that you can do it. You can!

1 The best diet in the world is not going to get rid of microbes and parasites that cause ME. They may help though; if they suit you and your blood type. This principle is inconvenient for most of them. Most of the media touts “eating healthily”. Did it work for you? There is a lot of confusion but they can still charge a fortune for what they say or do. You pay regardless.

2 A typical “nutritionist” does not believe we have intolerances based on our different blood types. Some of them don’t even understand the gluten or wheat problem. They think whole wheat is even healthier! These days most wheat is heavily GM and generates universal gluten sensitivity in a lot more people. Dairy? Look what has happened to milk – hormones, antibiotics and even cannibalism.

3 Deal with parasites. Also get a zapper for daily control. People who use our olive leaf tablets are usually free of systemic candidasis within 2-4 weeks. The Parasite Remedy has helped ME and CFS patients to lead a better life. A school teacher found a big step up from taking the olive leaf tincture. I gave her a sample of Parasite Remedy and she found even greater improvement.

4 The BEST and SCIO systems can list your microbial / parasite load. People are strange about candida. It is a species of benign yeast that all people have. It grows and feeds our friendly bacteria known as probiotics. So if you are deficient in probiotics you get too much yeast. The body then converts it into fungal or mould-like forms. 72 types of infections then can manifest as a result of being deficient in effective probiotics. (Please see the information about PROBIOTIC-15 to understand why we need more strains to grow inside us.)

5 Now you will be asking about the yoghurt! It only provides one measly strain: lactobacillus acidophillus. Coming with that is a lot of extra nutrition, the favourite food of two pathogens that cause leaky gut namely giardia and gardenerella lambus. How do we get rid of these nasties? Olive leaves! How do we control the microbes that “morph” from the surplus candida? Olive leaves! When I challenged a therapist to only give olive leaf and cut out the yoghurt, his patients immediately improved. A doctor had over 20 long term “candida” patients. Within 1 month of olive leaf tablet treatment they came right. Some of them still took yoghurt – oh well, not everybody has leaky gut.

6 As for vaginal thrush, this is interesting. We make tea tree based cleansers and lubricants that are helpful in most cases. Alkaline soaps exacerbate the problem. The friendly bacteria can only survive in an acidic medium, so I formulated these products to be acidic. Liquid probiotics are provided in a lactic acid medium. This is ideal for vaginal health. PROBIOTIC-15 can be diluted 5ml to 500ml and used as a douche in addition to the intimate products we make.

7 Glutamine is brilliant for the digestive system, especially the damaged gut lining. The body uses glutamine from expensive supplements the same way it does MSG. Both get converted to the alkaline chemical called glutamate. Yes, both the “evil, alien Chinese poison MSG” and your glutamine becomes the same thing so what does one believe? Please refer to the article I wrote about it. Taking the supplement on an empty stomach is risky because it can cause hypoglycaemia. (Yes, people don’t want to know this.) I have an article on suite 101 about MSG with all the links and facts. Google: sue visser suite 101 msg.

I hope this clears up the problems. Please also look at my articles on candida and probiotics on the suite 101 link on the website. Also see the notes about vaginal problems. I worked as a researcher for a gynaecologist for over 10 years and he supervised the writing of this material, based on the questions he asked me on a constant basis about this little place.

Olive Leaf uses and benefits

 

Natural gut bacteria?

Only about 10% of is actually human DNA. That is, the “microbiome” that surrounds us and includes our DNA is 90% made-up of microbes!

As a natural antimicrobial, olive leaf extract offers benefits over pharmaceutical antimicrobials because it does not kill beneficial bacteria, which can lead to an overpopulation of harmful bacteria. Nor does it exert any harmful side effects. (but it can lower blood pressure – too much!)

Even just a few surviving bacteria that develop resistance through genetic mutation or by having picked up genetic material from another antibiotic-resistant organism, these “superbugs” can quickly become a major problem. As you can see, the use of antibiotics actually helps create “superbugs” resistant to them. So, the overuse of antibiotics in counterproductive to health.

The zika virus and olive leaf?

Notes for new article

 

“It is clear that microcephaly is known to be caused by pesticide exposure, and could just as easily be caused by vaccinations during pregnancy as it was likely to be caused by Zika infection.

These CDC scientists were only looking for causation from infectious agents. Nothing else seemed to matter. This exclusionary mindset was present since the very beginning of the Zika propaganda campaign.

They ignored the effect of the Tdap vaccine given to pregnant women in Brazil in 2015. They ignored the side effects of medications. They ignored the consumption of GMO food, glyphosate, and Pyriproxyfen that were widely used in Brazil. They ignored chemical exposure from Brazil’s large chemical manufacturing facilities. They ignored alcohol and drug use. They ignored the effects of extreme multi-generational nutritional deficiencies and extreme poverty. They ignored the introduction of genetically modified mosquitoes that were released in Brazil. They ignored exposure to rubella, toxoplasmosis, or cytomegalovirus. They ignored the combined effects of all these factors as well as multigenerational modifications to the local gene pool from these potential causes.

In other words, the US microcephaly incidence is much higher than Brazil, and our babies didn’t get it from Zika.”

Olive Leaf remedies we can all make

Make your own olive leaf remedies. By Sue Visser

Notes to accompany the radio talk on 10th August 2017

 

Dear Zulaikha, you asked about childhood asthma and weakened immunity that affect a small child? Should he stop going to school and keep taking steroids and antibiotics? Olive leaf remedies kill opportunistic bacteria, especially Mycoplasma that are associated with childhood asthma. It also boosts immunity! So here is the data sheet for our talk. Medicine grows on olive trees! Regards, Sue and Anton

 

“Medicinal Properties &Uses: Olive leaf extract has proven anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. It provides a boost to immune function, fights infection, and increases resistance to disease. Clinical trials have shown Olive leaf extract to reduce blood pressure. It dilates the blood vessels so that blood may flow more easily throughout the system. As an antioxidant, Olive leaf extract protects those blood vessels from damage, and has been shown to be effective in protecting the heart from coronary occlusion. When taken over an extended period of time, it is believed to reverse arteriosclerosis. Olive leaves are astringent and antiseptic. Both the leaves and the bark have valuable febrifugal qualities. It is a useful aid in treating chronic fatigue syndrome as it rids patients of bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral infections.”

 

Do not boil olive leaves or make tea. The heat destroys most of the active ingredients. (Tea only works to reduce high blood pressure.)

 

1 Honey Remedy: mix from leaf powder

Dry a large quantity of olive leaves and grind them into a powder, using an electric coffee grinder or a powerful blender jug. Keep it sealed up.

Moisten a tablespoon of it with water to make a  paste. Mix up equal quantities with honey or bitter molasses ( for diabetics) and have ½ teaspoon as an adult dose. Never heat up the olive leaves as this destroys their active ingredients. Take 2 – 3 doses per day for general health.

Acute (emergency) conditions: take double the quantity. Repeat every 2 hours for malaria, for instance.

This powder can be added to wet pet food as is – to help them get rid of parasites and worms.

2 Fresh leaves in blender with water:

Add 2 cups of fresh green olive leaves to 2 cups of water in a blender jug.

Optional: add other healthy things e.g. slices of lemon, chopped parsley or dandelions, ginger or whatever you have at the time.

Process the mixture till it forms a smooth pulp then strain it through a cloth. The green juice is the most potent remedy. (Dosage guideline: 7 leaves are the equivalent of 1 Nature Fresh olive leaf tablet)

 

Properties of olive leaves:.

Lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, thins blood. Diuretic, relieves cystitis & water retention. Stimulates the immune system, has a profound anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-vital action. Helps to lower blood sugar levels for diabetics

 

Dark field microscopy: Live blood is examined under a powerful microscope, where even viruses are visible, let alone larger parasites. But they are no match for olive leaf remedies! A Cape Town therapist was surprised to see bacteria, fungi, viruses and other pathogens disappear from the blood samples  she had examined from patients after they had taken Nature Fresh olive leaf tablets. The same effects are not guaranteed from remedies that only contain the two extracts; oleacin and oleuropin. It seems that the full leaf has the best formulation – it is 100% natural.

 

SOME OTHER CHEAP NATURAL MEDICINES : To take with the olive leaves

BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES. A tablespoon of this bitter black molasses is a cheap, natural source of minerals. It is very good for fatigue, anaemia and constipation.

PARSLEY helps to clean the blood. It is rich in nutrients to help you fight diseases and build your strength. To get the best results, eat about six large sprigs every day.

 

7 dried olive leaves in each of the NATURE FRESH OLIVE LEAF TABLETS. They are now available at health shops and pharmacies.

Extract from page 72 of my book, Healthy Happy Heart. You can use your own olive leaves to make a similar remedy!

 

How olive leaves reduce blood pressure

Several recent and detailed studies on olive leaves show that they contain chemicals that have many cardiovascular benefits. In some cases the trials on olive leaves outperformed regular drugs. The synergy of actives in powdered olive leaves are the most potent. These anti-hypertensive “drugs” have vasodilatory, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. A primary cause of high blood pressure is the effect of insulin resistance. Olive Leaves can improve the uptake of glucose to improve insulin sensitivity. Most doctors (statistically 90% of them) who treat hypertension are unaware of its cause.

A human study measured olive leaf extract against Captopril, one of the conventional drugs used for treating hypertension. After 8 weeks of treatment both groups experienced a drop in mean blood pressure from baseline (11.5 and 13.7 mmHg systolic / 4.8 and 6.4 mmHg diastolic, respectively). There was no significant difference between the two groups. The olive leaf acts as a natural calcium channel blocker and captopril is a well-known ACE-inhibitor. They both promote widening of the vessels (vasodilation) to lower blood pressure. Two of the latest studies demonstrate how olive leaf extract suppresses the L-type calcium channel both directly and indirectly. Olive leaves also increase the production of nitric oxide, a signalling molecule that helps to relax blood vessels. (Vasodilation.)

Treating insulin resistance as a cause of hypertension

Studies show that olive leaf extracts lower blood glucose via several mechanisms:

They slow the digestion of starches into simple sugars

Olive leaf extracts slow the absorption of sugars from the intestine

They increase the uptake of glucose into tissues from the blood

They protect tissues from oxidative damage from glucose binding to proteins in the process called glycation. (AGE or HbA1c, page 27 )

 

More cardiovascular benefits from olive leaves

Caution: The proven blood pressure-lowering effects of olive leaf extracts are potent enough to warrant caution if you are taking prescription drugs for blood pressure, cardiovascular, cholesterol or to increase insulin function. Speak to a doctor about their combined effects.

Dosage: Oral dosages range from 500 – 2,000 mg powdered Olive Leaf. (The extract is 17-20% oleuropin) Take probiotic supplements to compensate for antimicrobial activity if you suddenly get very loose bowels.

 

The potent antioxidants present in olive Leaves help to protect the endothelial cells that line the arterial walls. These tissues help to maintain a smooth blood flow and even pressure. Atherosclerosis occurs when plaque accumulates on this delicate surface. Here they further help to prevent the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol. (Oxidized LDL triggers inflammation that damages arteries). As a remedy for hyperglycaemia, olive leaf improves insulin sensitivity, thus reducing the damage that insulin does to the cell lining. Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation are the precursors of heart attacks caused by blockages.

They also protect the collagen (connective) tissue by inhibiting matrix metropolitans – chemicals that dissolve the gel-like matrix that holds collagen cells together. Olive leaf or the extract inhibits “adhesion molecules” that help white blood cells and platelets to stick to arterial walls. (Plaque formation.) They boost micro-circulation and as a patient once said: “makes the blood thin and slippery.” (Controls platelet aggregation (clumping and clotting) and reduces the viscosity. Olive leaves have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. This helps to prevent blood coagulation caused by parasites, especially from a yeast overgrowth.

 

Suggested package insert for olive leaf tablets or fresh leaves.

Average 500mg tablets/capsules of dry leaf powder = 7 fresh olive leaves.

Caution: The proven blood pressure-lowering effects of olive leaf extracts are potent enough to warrant caution if you are taking prescription drugs for blood pressure, cardiovascular, cholesterol or to increase insulin function. Speak to a doctor about their combined effects.

Dosage: Oral dosages range from 500 – 2,000 mg powdered Olive Leaf. (The extract is 17-20% oleuropin) Take probiotic supplements to compensate for antimicrobial activity.

 

The European Monographs confirm the therapeutic effects of olive leaf extracts. No adverse side effects have been listed. Contra indications include pregnancy, patients on medications or with any possible sensitivity to olive leaves.

Q & A with Sue 2016 – No illness is due to a deficiency of a pharmaceutical drug

 

OLIVE LEAF PRODUCTS: Questions & Answers

 

Happy result for customer with Olive leaf and Calmag combo for sore knees:

 

“About 12 to 18 months ago, I accidentally bought your Olive Leaf Extract with calcium & magnesium. I was in a hurry and just grabbed the first bottle of tablets off the shelf, and when I got home I saw it wasn’t the calcium & magnesium tablets with tissue salts, but the one with olive leaf. I decided to just take them, seeing that they have calcium & magnesium in them too.

 

Now for a number of years, I have had on and off pain and stiffness in my knees, in particular my right knee. It would either stiffen up, where it was painful to straighten or bend my leg, and sometimes while walking my knee would just give way. Luckily I have never fallen. After about two weeks of taking the olive leaf tablets, I noticed I hadn’t felt any knee pain or stiffness in the joint. I have continued taking the tablets, only one per day has been necessary, and my knees are working perfectly. I did stop taking them for about a week and the pain started to return, so I have continued with them, and will always do so, to keep arthritis away. I just thought I would tell you my story, and ask you to please never discontinue making them. Thanks a lot for a wonderful remedy with no side effects, and that’s affordable too!”

 

Our response:

WOW! What a wonderful story about how serendipity played a part in sorting out your bad knee. Often it is by “accident” that something profound is manifest. In this case, I assume the addition of olive leaf kills off microbes that attack our joints. These critters expel toxins that are extremely acidic and hence the need for calcium to keep on neutralizing it. As you know, we need the magnesium to prevent the calcification of soft tissue that would otherwise accumulate around the joint. Funny thing is that I never visualised this happening when I formulated the product. I merely added the calcium and magnesium to help lessen the Herxheimer (healing die-off reaction) effect of olive leaves, making it a milder supplement for infants, frail patients and even pets, as you can see from the attached video. These new tablets are good to chew as it somehow aids the direct absorption into the bloodstream. They don’t taste too awful, as my cat found out!

Olive leaf tablets for blood pressure and Rosacea? (Low stomach acid symptoms)

Q ) I have recently been diagnosed with Rosacea and my mother suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes.

I would just like to know how many tablets we would need to take (daily) in order to get the best results, as well as the approximate amount of time it would take to see any changes.

I currently take 4 tablets daily for my Rosacea and my mother takes 2 tablets daily with her other medication for the diabetes and high blood pressure.

A ) Thanks for your enquiry. When using olive leaves with a medication one has to be careful that the herb does not compete with the drug (do the same thing). So we like Doctors to keep monitoring the situation and to suggest a 1 month weaning schedule.

We do not claim these effects or recommend immediate withdrawal of medications. Please discuss these steps with a qualified practitioner:

1 Start increasing the olive tablets from 2 per day, to 2 2x per day over the 4 weeks.

2 At the same time start reducing the medication from a full dose to a half dose. Then a half dose every second day for the last 2 weeks. If the blood pressure is OK then the next month one can gradually reduce to further.

3 Normally most patients can maintain with 2 tablets 2x per day with zero meds and feel great!

There are more helpful protocols at:    https://www.naturefresh.co.za

Olive leaf and shingles

Q ) I’m looking for a high potency OLE (20% or more oleuropein potency). Can you advise what the oleuropein % is in your OLE? I have a friend who is suffering with shingles and needs a high dose treatment. Thanks and kind regards

A ) Our olive leaf tablets contain about 6 – 18% plus, plus – depending on the season, etc.

For shingles they should help with the Herpes virus. Most important is L-lysine to treat any Herpes virus. Best to combine 500mg capsule (Solal or Solgar) with 1000mg Vitamin C (any Brand)

For topical – skin, our HERPEASE lotion helps. Also BEE Balm is what my 93 yr old Mom said helped the very most! Lots of love – speedy recovery for your friend, it is hellishly painful.

Reply ) Thank you so much for your response, Sue. I am so happy to hear I can now buy your products on Takealot. I’m a big fan of your brand and shop regularly on Takealot. My friend will be so happy – I’ll get cracking ordering for her immediately. Thank you again!

The toxicity of olive leaves in rat trials?

A  ) Firstly, rat studies are not human studies so this data is misleading.

Our olive leaf tablets are made from wild, organic olive leaves. They are not olive leaf extracts – these may be toxic of consumed in such large quantities as are given to rats to establish LD 50 (lethal dose ratings). You will be interested to know that gingko Biloba has an LD50 rating 6 x higher than olive leaf. Yet it is not considered to be toxic at recommended doses.

We have consumed olive leaves for nearly 20 years. They are lethal to HIV/AIDs, Malaria, colds and flu, Candidiasis and tapeworms. They also lower blood pressure, cholesterol and can be used for diabetics. Regards, Sue

Response: ) Yes, it’s helping my blood pressure as well. I was just worried about the liver and kidneys, as my wife is using your olive leaf, and she has one failing kidney. Thank you so much for your feedback. It really makes me feel better. I really appreciate it. May God bless you

Does olive leaf cause constipation?

Q) I have been told that olive leaf causes constipation. Is this true? What is the antidote?

A) This is a very recent phenomenon. There is no logical reason that taking olive leaf should cause constipation. Usually, during the process of detoxification (Herxheimer reaction) the opposite happens and the bowel loosens and becomes more like diarrhoea.

The main causes of constipation are dehydration and a lack of vitamin C, believe it or not. People can increase  vitamin C 500mg tablets of ascorbic acid to the point that the bowel loosens up. The RDA according to orthomolecular reasoning is 2 – 3 grams per day. People on diuretics or heart medications get constipated, being over supplied with substances that dehydrate them. Caffeine and alcohol have a similar effect. A lack of fibre can also be the cause, especially during the holidays!

Natural or dietary alternatives to WARFARIN for blood clotting?

Q ) I am looking for a more natural or alternative medication for Wafarin which I am currently on. I cumulatively take 42.5mg of wafarin per week (5mg 4 days of the week and 7.5mg on the other 3 days), I have had stable INR value between 2.4 and 2.6 over the past 3 months, and my therapeutic INR range is between 2.0 and 3.0

A ) Some of our NATURE FRESH customers use Olive Leaf tablets or tincture 2 tablets 2x day to keep their blood “thin and slippery” they say and also to control blood pressure. Drugs like Warfarin and Heparin are normally given but they do have side effects. Vitamin K supports natural clotting in case of injury but people on Warfarin are told not to eat foods that contain Vitamin K, like spinach. These drugs can indirectly cause fatal haemorrhages, cancer, amnesia, etc. Taking aspirin is also dangerous in the long term because it irritates the gastric lining.  Many drugs cause blood to thicken or clot: Cortisone, Oestrogen (Pill and HRT)

But first ask for medical approval for herbal blood thinners. (These are the ones you are told to stop taking.) Vitamin B6: 50mg 2 x per day, Garlic, ginger and Omega 3 fish oils and natural Vitamin E. Clotting factors (viscosity) should be regularly monitored with your physician during the drug weaning period. A doctor of integrated medicine will be able to help you with an alternative diet and supplements to control blood pressure and clotting factors, should you wish to stop depending on prescription drugs for some conditions.

A drug – weaning protocol to discuss with your prescribing practitioner

Golden Rules: Never just stop your meds abruptly. Never take a full dose combined with the alternatives.

I usually work with doctors skilled in integrated medicine and refer patients to them for a weaning schedule. Basic guidelines: never just suddenly stop using a medication. Work down the dosage and the intervals in descending steps over 2 – 4 weeks. Then after a few days you can start taking the natural remedy and supplements in ascending steps over 2 – 4 weeks. During this time you need to keep monitoring the blood clotting and the blood pressure, etc.

Complaints and queries about: Parabens are earth-friendly chemicals and are there to protect you!

Parabens in Aloe skin therapy gel. Are you also afraid of Parabens?

“I am very disappointed and will discontinue using this product”

Q) It is so difficult to know what to trust when I have read so many other articles that state that parabens are harmful – I read on your page that they occur as a natural compound in plant materials but the parabens you use, are these the naturally occurring ones or artificial chemicals, and how does this differ or affect the body?

A) Thank you for your comments. We are happy that you like using our products. The big paraben lie people tell is indeed a serious and dangerous issue. Parabens kill mould and mycotoxins better than any other antimicrobial agent we have on this planet. So do synthetic parabens that are identical in structure. We do not extract natural parabens from things like mangoes, please understand that this is neither sustainable or feasible. This is why sterile, synthetically derived parabens are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry and do not cause cancer. They kill the mould and mycotoxin infections that are associated with over 99% of breast cancers. We are familiar with synthetic vitamin C and Salicylic acid, for instance.

Some of our products contain a lot of fresh herbal extracts and components that if left untreated, develop mould, smell bad, look terrible and can cause infections. The “organic” alternatives or the chemicals that people don’t get hysterical about have either not been effective enough or have been too harsh.

All it takes is for one poorly informed and self-opinionated prominent person to spread a lie. Then other well respected people who also don’t do their homework repeat that lie. So learn the truth about parabens:

Truth about Parabens

Q ) Hi there. I bought the deodorant body wash. U say u don’t use chemicals. Why on the bottle does it say propyl paraben and methyl paraben aren’t these chemicals?

A ) Here is more information about parabens. They are chemicals, but not nasty ones as people are led to believe. We try to exclude them wherever possible, but only if the pH is suitable. Acidic products can be safely preserved with food grade potassium sorbate or benzoic acid.

Q 2 ) Interesting article. I am just wondering is there a chemical paraben that is made not from plants that I the concern or may be spelt differently to confuse us. Anyway thank you for the reply.

A 2 ) Once again, manmade or naturally occurring – the atomic structure is the same. We get aspirins by making salisylic acid in the lab, instead of stripping the bark off willow trees. Linus Pauling won Nobel prizes with his work on ascorbic acid made in a laboratory. (He would have needed a few tons of oranges to do that!)  The new Intimate cleansers can also be used like a body wash and we have added probiotics to the Rooibos variant. We are going to use a similar formulation for the Body washes .

Q : What quantity of oleacin is present in your olive leaf tablets?

A: We do not list all the chemical components of olive leaves because they work in synergy and there are dozens of them. For instance, the popular extract called oleacin is not really effective by itself as compared to what we now call a whole leaf extract as opposed to products that only focus on oleacin and oleuropein.

For instance, it is only whole leaf extract of olive leaf or of Artemisia Annua/Afra that is still able to cure things like drug resistant malaria. Jim is living proof that they do!

I have provided links to our website as well as my articles in the SA Medical Academic CPD portal

Olive leaves contain a natural anti-malarial component called chlorquinone. Olive leaf also inhibits blood clotting and maintains optimal viscosity. It has a natural built-in benefit as an alternative to blood-thinning medications. This can help to protect high-risk patients against the formation of tiny clots that occur as a complication of the coronovirus infections. Olive leaf has been used successfully for diabetic and cardiovascular patients as an alternative to medications that lower blood pressure, thin the blood and lower blood sugar. Although it was first believed that ACE inhibitors may be harmful to coronavirus patients the verdict is that these drugs are of more benefit to help the heart and lungs of an infected patient.

 

Extracts from olive leaves have been shown to treat infections caused by a large number of viruses as well as bacteria, parasitic protozoas, and fungi. A phytochemical in olive leaf, called Oleuropein, is able to stop viruses in their tracks. It neutralizes the enzymes that are important for the virus to replicate itself and spread. Oleuropein also has the ability to interfere with the critical amino acid production that is essential for viruses. Another component from the whole leaf is elenolic acid that inactivates viruses and bacteria without damaging the host cells by:

 

Interference with specific amino acid production processes vital to the life cycle of the virus

Interference with viral infection and/or spread by inactivating the virus or by prohibiting shedding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane

Immune activation of host defence through direct stimulation of phagocytosis

Neutralisation of the production of reverse transcriptase and protease (relates to retroviral ability to alter the host cell RNA)

Penetration of infected host cells while achieving an irreversible inhibition of viral replication.

The antiviral activity of elenolic acid was shown to be greatest in an alkaline environment (pH 7.5), which is very close to the normal human pH range of 7.35-7.45

NF 025 Olive Leaf tabs

Nature Fresh Olive leaf tablets

100% Olive leaf antimicrobial: Each tablet contains the powder of 7 dried olive leaves. It is best to chew them as they are also very good for oral hygiene. Many scientific studies have been performed throughout Europe and the USA to show that olive leaf has strong antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic activity, including malaria. Olive leaf can successfully treat bacterial, protozoan, and fungal Infections as well as viruses that include colds and flu plus HIV/AIDS* Valuable phytochemicals present in whole olive leaf products work in synergy. They contain anti-malarial agents, including cinchonine – to help ward off drug resistant malaria.

Biofilms and Candida: Olive leaf does not harm beneficial bacteria as is the case with regular antibiotics and they also help to eliminate biofilms that shield off colonies of bacteria, causing drug resistance. As a treatment for yeast infections such as candidiasis they help to cure long-term patients who have given up on diets and anti-fungal medications.

As a cardiovascular medicine: they reduce blood pressure, thin the blood, clear out microbes and parasites and reduce inflammation. Olive leaves have powerful anti-oxidant activity and reduce blood sugar as well as “bad” cholesterol. According to the monographs there are no serious side effects. Using them with the full dose of blood-pressure lowering medications and blood thinners may exaggerate the effect; so caution is advised. Refer to the monographs for more details.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding: Olive leaf has not been officially tested for pregnancy but for over 20 years, pregnant women have taken them to good effect, after the third trimester. It is best to ask a doctor. Olive leaf seems to zap all strains of “latest” colds and flu bugs as a beneficial side effect!
