Olive Leaf Extract

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I have recently been re-reading a book " Nature's Anitbiotic Olive Leaf Extract "

by DR. Morton . One thing that is mentioned is the fact that the Upjohn

Company was researching the antimicrobial property of OLE (calcium elenolate)

back in the 1970's. They found that the calcium elenolate bound to proteins in

the blood serum and was thus rendered ineffective, so they decided to stop their

research. The book claims that only one method of manufacture exists presently

(the book was written in 1995 or so) that is truly therapeutic. They say that

in 1995 a proprietary process was developed to get beyond the serum binding

problem. I am pretty sure that they are referring to the East Park product. I

looked into this product at the website www.eastpark.com and the product is said

to contain 38% Oleuropein. It is sold in bottles of 60 caps for $26.95. I

could not find anything on the site about the mgs. If this is true, then my

guess is that all products would have effects on the gastrointestinal system,

but only certain products would be effective systemically. Any other thoughts

on this? I have never taken the East Park product, so I don't have any

experience to add to this. I will add that a few years ago I took the

antifungal drug Lamisil for a nasty toenail fungus and the drug worked very well

with no side effects. As far as conventional antifungals are concerned, this

seems to be one of the safest and it works very well. Toenail fungus is one of

the hardest fungal infections to erradicate. The drug was approved to be give

systemically only a few years ago.

Also, I had been taking Immunocal for the past 7 months and this week started

Immunopro for comparison. Will keep you posted on the results.
