The ancient Egyptians may have been the first to make practical
use of the olive leaf
using it in the mummification of their kings. In later cultures, olive
leaf extracts were used as a popular folk remedy to relieve
fevers. The first formal medical documentation describing the use of the
olive leaf to cure severe cases of fever and malaria appeared around the
1850's. For example, a simple healing remedy using olive leaves was published
in 1854 in the Pharmaceutical Journal. More recently, Italian researchers
found the olive leaf extract(oleuropein)
had the capacity to lower blood pressure in animals.Other European researchers
confirmed this finding and determined that olive
leaf extract also increased blood flow in the coronary arteries,
relieved arrhythmias (irregular heart beats) , and prevented intestinal
muscle spasms. Moreover, about this time a Dutch researcher determed the
active ingredient in oleuropein was a substance he called elenolic acid.
It was found to have a powerful anti-bacterial effect.
In the late 1960's, research by Upjohn showed that elenolic acid,
a substance derived from olive leaf
extract, killed every virus tested- every one! Among the
viruses tested were herpes, influenza, a couple of leukemias and a sarcoma.
Elenolic acid was also effective against parasitic protozoans and bacteria.
Furthermore, it was found to counteract a variety of viruses associated
with the common cold in humans.
Phytochemicals (those many and varied substances contained in plants)
are becoming the topic of considerable interest. Researchers have made
one discovery after another involving these extracted substances from plants
which have demonstrated promising health and medical potential.
One of the most exciting of these natural plant compounds is the
new
olive leaf extract. Oleuropein is the substance found in
the olive leaf. The active ingredient has been determined to be a phytochemical
called elenolic acid which has many powerful health benefits. Oleuropein
is an iridoid which is a structural class of chemical compounds found in
plants.
Olive leaf extract is
a rediscovery of a substance used in ancient Biblical times. This substance
is derived from the plain olive leaf providing a unique herbal that has
multiple health applications. It has been reported to:
* enhance the immune system
* increase energy
* has an internal cleansing action
* is anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic
* can reduce, ameliorate or even eliminate many diverse health problems
*lowers blood pressure, fats, and reduces blood sugar.
Olive Leaf Extract
has a number of unique properties that help destroy viruses, bacteria and
parasites. Olive Leaf extract has the ability to interfere with critical
amino acid production essential for viruses. Olive
Leaf Extract has the ability to contain viral infection and/or
spread by inactivating viruses or by preventing virus shedding, budding
or assemble at the cell membranes. The ability to directly penetrate infected
cells and stop viral replication. In the case of retroviruses, it is able
to neutralize the production of reverse transcriptase and protease. These
enzymes are essential for a retrovirus, such as HIV, to alter the RNA of
a healthy cell. It can stimulate phagocytosis, an immune system response
in which cells ingest harmful microorganisms and foreign matter.
Olive Leaf Extract
may have powerful antioxidant properties. It has been shown to inhibit
oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. These are so-called "bad cholesterol"
involved in heart and arterial disease. Moreover, olive extracts seem to
be effective in combating a wide range of health problems as well as serving
as a preventative health action. What's more, with its antioxidant properties,
it has great potential benefit for people involved in vigorous exercise
programs in preventing free radical generation and the resulting damage
they cause to healthy cells.
Olive Leaf Extract
is effective when used in low concentrations while being extremely safe
and non-toxic at high doses. "See an excerpt

Dr. James Privitera, M.D.
did the original research on olive leaf extract and wrote an article titled,
"Noah's Dove was One Smart Bird". Another seller of a very weak olive extract
states this is an authorless article. The booklet, "Olive Leaf Extract-A
New/Old Healing Bonanza for Mankind" was written and copyrighted by Dr.
Privitera after even more research was done.
Dr. Privitera has been an internationally known holistic
physician for over 25 years with an excellent reputation. He would only
use and offer to the public, the best quality olive leaf extract. Our product
will never contain less than 5% oleuropein, which is the known active ingredient.
