OLE will *increase* yeast if the child has a virus issue. So it appears your

child probably has virus issues.

I don't really understand this question. I used OLE to eliminate bad bacteria,

and start the anti-viral process. Viral die off caused a lot of yeast here, so

I usually gave the OLE with biotin and GSE.

, Kara,

You originally asked about Olive Leaf Extract. Also, is it the best way to deal

with a yeast problem as well as viral and bacterial issues?

I am new to this group and I don't have Autism. I joined this group to get more

information about mercury. I came to discover my high levels of mercury in the

course of dealing with a Candida infection. So I have a different perspective

than other members when it comes to Olive Leaf Extract.

My Web research convinced me that Olive Leaf Extract has anti-yeast,

anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties. In fact, many sites name OLE as the

primary nonprescription treatment for the Epstein-Barr virus, as well as certain

ear, nose and throat viruses.

This is consistent with my own experience. I developed a Candida infection as

well as two viral infections after taking broad spectrum antibiotics and

steroids prescribed for a severe ear infection (never again). I took Nystatin (a

prescription drug for Candida), Olive Leaf Extract and probiotics and eventually

eliminated all three infections. As a side benefit, I haven't had a cold or flu

in 2 years.

Besides knowing that I was feeling better, I monitored my progress with ELISA

blood tests every three months (which measured the levels of antibodies to

Candida albicans, Epstein-Barr, etc. in my blood). So I am convinced of the

effectiveness of OLE on both yeasts and viruses.

As for any suggestions, I can only tell you what I do.

I take Barlean's Olive Leaf Extract and I order it over the internet from

iHerb.com. It's a liquid, it's more expensive and less convenient than capsules,

and it tastes a little like cough syrup, but I love the stuff--and I need to

take the liquid because of my many food sensitivities. (The liquid may also be

good for kids who won't or don't take capsules, because I found that if you want

to hide the taste, you can mix it with caffeine-free, diet cola.)

As for dosage: Barlean's acknowledges that there is no " official " recommended

dose but they suggest a basic maintenance dose of 1 tablespoon/day (children

over age 2 should take half the adult dose).

They also suggest a therapeutic dose during colds, flus and sinus infections of

2 tablespoons/day, and an acute dose for sore throat, swollen glands or fever of

3 tablespoons/day. I took 3 tablespoons for several months to eliminate my

infections.

Olivus is another good supplier of OLE in liquid, capsules, loose tea, tea bags

and powder, and they also have a chart on their Website comparing the dosage for

each form.

There have been no reported toxicities or adverse reactions to OLE (based on

modern research plus the experience of Mediterranean people who apparently have

been taking OLE for thousands of years). Because it has no known adverse

reactions, it is often suggested that the maintenance dose can be taken

indefinitely.

But you should be aware of a related reaction called a " die off " or Herxheimer

reaction if you have a Candida infection when you begin or increase OLE (it

occurs when too many Candida cells die off too quickly).

You should also be aware that OLE may interact with some prescription

medications—antibiotics, blood pressure lowering medicine, anti-blood clotting

medicine, and diabetic medicine.

I hope this helps.
