Olive Leaf Extract for Plantar Warts

Up until 2004 I have had a large planters wart under my left big tie. I was constantly getting planters warts on my fingers etc. I was using peroxide and freeze sprays that temporarily got rid of them only to return sometimes and others would pop up. In 2004 I began taking olive leaf extract for general health that I found on Earthclinic site. After 6 months of taking at 3 x 5ml aday doses I realised that my planters had gone. The one I had since I was 10 was affecting my running...it was gone completely. This is a sure cure. I am in my 50s and not a hint of a wart again....amazing.

Olive Leaf for Flu

On wed night I felt like I didnt feel right, by thursday morning-the same old familiar feeling that accompanies a bad cold or flu had started.It always starts with a strong achey feeling going straight across my shoulders then spreading thru my body, kinda feels like getting hit by a mack truck I quess.So I knew I was coming down with something, especially since we had just had thanksgiving with the family, and my grandson had a bad cough and wasnt feeling well.For whatever reason, if I come into contact with him when he's sick, I end up getting sick. We had some Olive Leaf throat spray-we had just bought 3 bottles for the winter, I sold one bottle to my son-in-law, for my grandson, so I sprayed my throat as soon as I started feeling bad. Started on high Vit C, and as usual, made sure I washed my hands alot during the day. Anyways the typical flu usually lasts about a week or more for the average person. By saturday I was able to do a couple small chores, in between laying down and napping and dosing, and by sunday-I folded up the sleeper couch, did more chores, no nap, went to bed at 9:30 and slept all night. 2 & 1/2 days of flu. I'm still spraying my throat-I also sprayed a q-tip and twirled it inside my nose. My next experiment is to kill this toenail fungus as nothing else has worked, and to buy some Olive leaf capsules, for preventative daily maintenence. We now keep a bottle of throat spray in the bathroom since last year, but after reading we now know it does so much more...

Olive Leaf for Colds and Flu

Better But With Side Effects

I have been using olive leaf extract for years. I take it when I feel a cold coming on. I use very high potency capsules. Sometimes I can take them with no side effects, but usually when I take them I feel very queasy. I am currently battling a cold and I took them at the onset of the cold. They made me feel dreadfully queasy and then I had bad diarrhea... but I felt better afterwards and the cold held off for a few days.

Unfortunately the cold came back with a vengeance. I tried to fight it off with various teas as I didn't want to go through the nausea and diarrhea again, but today I decided to give the olive leaf another go (this time with food.) Once again I felt queasy and had bad diarrhea... but once the diarrhea passed I felt almost like a new person. Within hours many of my cold symptoms had vanished (stuffiness, sore throat, blocked ear, headaches) and I had more energy.

There needs to be more published on how this product works. To me, it feels like it's literally blasting the bad bacteria and viruses out of me. I can physically feel it doing this. It feels terrible, but if you can get through it the after effects are worth it.

I wonder if the effects are only this extreme when you are sick, or if it is dependent on the type of sickness you have? There have been times I've taken it without effects.

Olive Leaf Extract

Diane (Uniontown, Pa) on 09/11/2012

Could we please have an Olive Leaf Extract page? My family has used it for our pets and children to quickly recover from conjunctivitis and shingles, and after one megadose yesterday with one cayenne capsule (as a carrier) my husband finally has gotten some relief for the horrible burning associated with chronic prostatitis. Hopefully he will continue to improve, because doctors don't know how to treat prostatitis. I've personally experienced energy and the same sense of well being from olive leaf extract, that I get when I take diatomaceous earth. I just feel that olive leaf extract is deserving of its own page, and hope you will too!

Olive Leaf and Turmeric for Bladder Infections

London (Sandusky, Ohio) on 02/02/2010

OK, guys, I'm sure by now, it's well known, (since I've tried every cure on this website known to man) My struggles with Chronic Bladder infections on here.

Recently, I broke down and went to the hospital to get antibiotics. They didn't work, it was alarming truly, this is modern medicine. After, about, THREE trips back to the hospital, and THREE rounds of antibiotics, and about 4 months of struggling with my latest bladder infection, I finally found a natural cure, that I think is very effective.

I was frustrated, nothing was working. I tried the ACV, I tried sea salt, baking soda, alka seltzer, EVERYTHING. Coconut Milk, (which tastes really gross)

My friends, a combination of Olive leaf extract, and turmeric herb cured my stubborn bladder infection.

You have to take about 2 dropperfuls of olive leaf extract (alcohol free) dissolved in a cup of water about three times a day, along with 2 caps of turmeric herb, three to four times a day.

This is intensive treatment, but that's what it took for me.

I cap my own turmeric by the way, in veg. caps 00

I tried olive leaf extract for overall infection in my body. About 3 months later, during a pedicure, I noticed that my toenails were perfect! I stopped taking it after a while, so finally after a long time, maybe almost a year, the fungus came back. I work in a hot, humid and dirty environment where toenail fungus is a common problem. After discovering this, I looked it up on the internet and read that it does indeed cure toenail fungus!

Ok let me start by saying medical advise from doctors only suppress symptoms. This is the remedy I use daily... Take 2 super lysine pills daily I take them at the same time on empty stomach, You can fine this at an herbal shop. Drink liquid oxygen water thru out the day it increases ph balance in blood, we need water any way daily but don't mix the oxygenated water with herbs at the same time. You can find this at the herbal shop. Take olive leaf capsules, I take 3 a day, this plant is the plant that heals the nations according to the bible it also builds the immune system just like super lysine. Taking a liquid vitamin for example mirical 2000 is a good way 2 build the immune system and you are getting daily vitamins. Finally vegetables and fruits I don't consume enough vegetables and fruits eating so the alternate option is to juice them and drink a nice glass of green plants and fruits this also increase your ph in your blood and to top it off apply dmso on the bottom part of your spine and your genital area I would say twice a week. And this will stop any break outs you will practically forget u have herpes I have been outbreak free for 14yrs now.

Hi Everyone ~ I discovered Olive Leaf Extract (I use the one by ___ ___, purchased at Whole Foods Market - haven't tried other brands). Well, all my life, I would get at least two terrible cold sores per year. Even after two weeks of looking awful, I would be left with a scar for at least a month...I was so upset every time. They were the bane of my existence!

The very first time I tried Olive leaf extract, I was on the verge of another cold sore. I put about 2-3 droppers full in a small amount of water. Within moments I could feel the initial swelling going away. I ran to the mirror because I thought I was imagining things! I wasn't! The nasty little thing was disappearing before my eyes.

It's been 4 years now and I've had only one (pretty mild) cold sore and all because I hadn't taken the olive leaf at the first signs of fatigue, dry lips, and a feeling of being 'run-down' which always precedes the outbreak. My Mom also had these her whole life, and it works wonders for her too. The key is to use it preventatively, as well as extra doses at the onset of a breakout. I've many droppers full of it, and it has no side effects whatsoever - other than good ones! Also, using it topically, directly on the area where you usually breakout, in addition to internally is helpful also.

Interestingly enough, some biblical scholars believe that the "Tree of Life" represents the Olive Tree and that the Dove which carried a twig/branch to Noah, was carrying an Olive Twig. I truly hope this helps any of you dealing with problem. I Love, Love, Love this website! :-)

The easiest treatment and simplest treatment for herpes is to use fresh olive leaf or use olive leaf extract. However, in practice I used more than one just to make sure they don't come back again.

Since I am talking about olive leaf, this is also used against Epstein-Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well, due to its antiviral properties. As a result, I have cut and paste portions describing in more details the oleuropeins found in olive leaf -- see below. I suspect that olive leaf extract when mixed with apple cider vinegar would increase its antiviral potency, especially when you have the common colds or pneumonia coming.

For those already against vaccination the olive leaf can be eaten regularly as a protection against other deadly viral diseases as well.

I have had frequent chronic UTI's all of my life, and have occasionally tried to cure them naturally, without any luck, just ending up sicker and needing antibiotics. Usually, if I didn't get drugs in the first few days, it moved right into the kidneys. I've tried herbs, accupuncture, energy healing, and nutrition. This time, I was determined, and let it go for a week, trying several things. I tried a whole jar of cranberry juice plus pills every day, and that seemed to help (the urine smelled bad for about a day, but then the smell left. However, about that time, the infection moved up to the kidneys, and the condition got worse over a week's time. Finally, by Friday, I was desperate, as I'd have to get through the whole weekend before I could give up and get to a doctor....and I was having trouble even walking, from the pain. Then, I remembered that I had heard Olive Leaf extract could help. I happened to have some on hand for something else, and took a couple. I googled it and found that you can take up to 16 of the 500 mg pills per day, so I took 4, then 4 more a few hours later. When I got up from my nap, I felt a lot better. I was still in a lot of pain, but less, and somehow, my energy felt stronger, like I was heading out of the woods. I continued to take it overnight, and this morning, I woke up about 70% better! Since I was so ill, I'm still in pain, but not enough to need pain killers.

Some people experience die-off symptoms with Olive Leaf, and it can be used as a prophylactic, which would allow for gradual cleansing, in case you needed to use it in high doses for an infection. However, I didn't experience any of that, as I've done a lot of cleansing before. Still, if I were going to, I'd do it anyway, as it really kicked the infection.

I also tried Ted's salt remedy, but it was at about 10 pm, after the Olive Leaf was obviously working, so I can't be sure what its effect was. However, it didn't make me feel ill, as some here have reported.

As an aside, I recently went to see a Korean doctor, who described about three sets of symptoms I've been having as being connected to an original problem of weak chi in the kidneys and spleen. He gave a very reasonable explanation of how the seemingly unconnected symptoms are all part of a developing problem based on the weakness in the two organs. After a month on his custom tincture, I experienced a reversal in the most recent symptom (period coming a week earlier each month for a few months, with a lot of spotting). So, I believe that if I continue with that treatment, eventually, the internal weakness which leads to the chronic symptoms will be eradicated.

One last thing - I've just read that a high percentage of women with chronic UTI's have a lack of immunoglobulins, which you can supplement with collostrum, so I'll try that, too.
