Olive leaf extract is potent stuff.

It can generate an internal cleansing action that may similarly cause significant detox symptoms. Refer to the next chapter about what to do if you experience such a reaction. Die-off" Effect "Die-off" symptoms can begin almost immediately after starting the supplement. It can hit different people in different ways. Reactions include extreme fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, muscle/joint achiness or flu-like symptoms. Severity differs also from person to person, depending on the extent of infection. Keep in mind that such symptoms are positive signs. Nevertheless, they can be unpleasant. Some people may not want to continue because of the discomfort. Others handle it better. Others experience no such effect. Here's what to do in case of substantial detoxification symptoms: Reduce the number of tablets, or even stop them altogether for a while. You may need a day or two, or even a week, to allow your body to process the "die-off." When you feel better, you can resume the supplement at a low dose and increase slowly. Holistic practitioners can usually provide a supportive detoxification program for individuals who experience a strong "die-off" response. In my clinic, this program includes taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance. Such a regimen is best done under professional guidance. Other than the "die-off" detoxification effect among some individuals, olive leaf extract appears to create no side effects. Past research with calcium elenolate, the derivative or oleuropein, included safety studies with laboratory animals. They were dosed orally and also via injection. The only symptom observed was a mild irritation of the mucous membrane among some animals at the injection site. Since olive leaf extract is taken orally, this observation is basically irrelevant. The research indicated that doses many times higher than recommended are unlikely to produce toxic or other adverse side effects. During 1993 testing of the liquid form of the product against the herpes virus, there were no observed or reported side effects. Dosages Olive leaf extract is currently available in the form of 500 mg. tablets. The routine dosage is one tablet every six hours or four throughout the day. Take the supplement between meals for best results. In the case of bad colds or flu, you can use two tablets every six hours. For acute infections, some individuals have taken more -- three and even four every six hours -- and reported rapid relief. If you encounter a "die-off" effect, cut back on the number of tablets you are taking or temporarily discontinue them. See the section on "die-off effect." For healthy folks seeking more energy or the prevention benefits of olive leaf extract, we suggest one or two tablets a day. The younger and cleaner the body, the more responsive it is to supplements such as this. When a person becomes older and more toxic, more of the supplement is required to do the job.

Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everyt hing we have. =========== Umair LoveToKnow Health Herbs Herbal Remedies Olive Leaf Health Benefits Olive Leaf Health Benefits Olive Leaf Health Benefits Great Swine Flu Natural Remedies By Jean Scheid What are some common olive leaf health benefits and what's the best way to take olive leaf to reap those benefits? Why the Olive Leaf? The olive leaf is one of a few herbs listed in the Bible as a method to help hea ling. "The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine," is quoted in Ezekiel 47:12, and for good reason. The olive leaf's most active ingredient, oleuropein, helps prevent disease, can be used in fighting off germs, and can help keep your immune system healthy. Olive Leaf Health Benefits Herbalists have long recommended the olive leaf for: Boosting the immune system Fighting colds, sore throats, bronchitis, and a great herbal remedy for stom ach flu Calming pain from arthritis Helps with chronic fatigue syndrome A good way to fight psoriasis Lowering blood pressure Help in reducing fats from other foods Can reduce blood sugar levels Purify or detox your body Fight parasites, bacteria, and fungus The small olive called the "evergreen olive" was first produced in the Mediterra nean region and is found in teas, extract oils, capsules, soap, and face and ski n cream.

How Does It Work? The oleuropein in olive leaf seeks out harmful pathogens and helps to dissolve b ad germs. If taken orally, the natural enzymes in your body (esteraize and betaglycosidase) help to convert the oleuropein into elolenic acid. That elolenic ac id helps your immune system to remain strong as well in addition to its other he alth benefits. How to Take Olive Leaf If you consider an olive leaf regimen, you may experience a sort of detox effect that could bring symptoms such as headaches, diarrhea, muscle aches, or fatigue . If you are pregnant or nursing, are a diabetic, or are on high blood pressure medication, it's best to ask your physician before you begin using olive leaf. To reap the benefits of the olive leaf, there are many ways and forms to aid you . Olive Tea recommends the following: Vitamins - Seek out vitamins that are strong in olive leaf extract ingredien ts. Most olive leaf vitamins are also packed with minerals and amino acids. Olive Leaf Loose Tea - Depending upon how much tea you desire, bring one tab lespoon to eight cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add a few olive l eaves allowing the mixture to steep for ten minutes or so. Never boil loose oliv e leaf, as it can lose some of its oxygen and taste. An olive tea is best cold o ver ice. Tea Bags - Available in up to 100-pack containers, it's easy to brew your ow n olive leaf tea with ready-made tea bags. Extract Capsules - These contain both olive leaf and 20 percent oleuropein t o keep your immune system strong. Powders - Great for drinks, tea, shakes and even if you want to make your ow n capsules. Liquid Extract - Add olive leaf extract to teas and other drinks; you'll enj oy this flavorful extract in almost any drink. Soap, Face and Skin Cream - Full of olive leaf extract, these skin products can help reduce redness, swelling, and help fight psoriasis. Summing Up Olive Leaf Benefits Herbalists warn that while olive leaf helps fight the bad pathogens in your body , olive leaf in and of itself does not cure any disease. Because olive leaf heal th benefits are many, make sure to ask a qualified herbalist or physician prior to taking any form of olive leaf. Keep in mind that when beginning your course o f olive leaf supplements, vitamins, teas or extracts, you may experience some si de effects that will decrease with continued use.

Many Health Benefits of Tumeric There are many health benefits of tumeric or turmeric, a golden yellow spice. Us ed for over 2,000 years in India, turmeric research points to many promising hea lth benefits. The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, demonstrates powerful anti inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antiseptic properties. Unless turmeric upse ts your stomach, it's considered a very safe herb with few side effects. You can easily add this spice to food or find curcumin and turmeric capsules at health food stores or online. Antiseptic Properties Through the centuries, turmeric has been used as an antiseptic for the skin. A p aste made from the golden-yellow spice is applied to the skin. It has been used to treat cuts, burns and all types of minor skin irritation. May Prevent Prostate Cancer Researchers at Rutgers University uncovered another health benefit of tumeric or turmeric. It may prevent prostate cancer in men. The 2006 study included turmer ic and vegetables from the cabbage family, including cauliflower and broccoli. R esearchers were curious as to why prostate cancer rates are very high in the Uni ted States but extremely low in India. The spice turmeric is a staple of Indian cuisine, and the Indian diet is typically rich in vegetables and low in meat, Breast Cancer Prevention Another study conducted at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, li nks turmeric consumption with lower breast cancer rates. Researchers fed mice a diet rich in turmeric and noted a much lower rate of breast cancer. Turmeric may actually help prevent many different types of cancer, although why it works in some cases and not in all cases remains a mystery. Slows Alzheimer's Progression Yet another promising health benefit of turmeric is its effects on the brain and

on cognitive (thinking) ability. Researchers again uncovered patterns of diseas e that were different in India than in America, with the rate of Alzheimer's dis ease much lower in India than in America among comparable groups of elderly peop le. Dr. Sally Frautschy reported her findings at the Alzheimers Society for Neur oscience conference that increased consumption of turmeric Anti Inflammatory Properties Turmeric also demonstrate anti inflammatory properties. Throughout India, turmer ic was often prescribed by healers to treat arthritis and similar conditions. To day, researchers are discovering that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeri c, does indeed provide some anti inflammatory properties. Turmeric inhibits Cox2 enzymes, the chemicals responsible for inflammation. Many drugs prescribed for conditions such as arthritis work the same way. Turmeric may one day replace dr ug therapy once the exact mechanism is isolated. Slows Progress of MS Noted natural health expert Dr. Weil recommends turmeric and ginger to all his M ultiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. MS begins with damage to the myelin sheath surr ounding nerves. The immune system attacks the nerves. Dr. Weil believes that tur meric's anti inflammatory properties may also calm the immune system in MS patie nts.
