In this website Ted speaks of the many benefits of olive leaf. In our part of the country we only have Russian Olive trees. Would this tree be beneficial? If we buy olive leaf in the health food store is it better to use the tincture (drops) or the capsules? I would appreciate hearing from anyone with information on the olive leaf remedy. I'm even wondering if it would be good to take for stomach viruses and perhaps even the flu.

Thanks, Carolyn

I have suffered from acne & rosacea since my teens. The issue eased in my 30's but returned again with more intensity in my 40's. I have tried many,many different things to find some easing of the postules, cysts, and redness. The only thing that brought minor relief was antibiotics. These, however, brought other side affects that I was not willing to live with. I then ran across some information on olive leaf extract. I began to take 2 adult size tablets twice a day. I also purchased olive leaf bar soap and face lotion. I began to see results within a week. After several months I reduced my intake of supplements to 1 twice daily. I have continued with that regimen for over a year now and my skin is completely clear with only a very occasional breakout. The redness is also greatly reduced. My skin hasn't looked this good since before puberty!
