Olive Leaf Extract
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone here takes Olive Leaf Extract?  I had heard that it had great health benefits and as my hubby and I were starting to get a cold I thought I'd buy some from the Chemist.  I took mine at night, then when I woke around 3am I realised one of my eyes was totally puffed up under my bottom eyelid and I couldn't look down as it was so badly puffed, I thought perhaps an allergic reaction.  Hubby had been taking his only to find his cold was only getting worse and not better (until he stopped taking it).  I tried to contact the company for a refund, but have not heard back from them at all, which is pretty rude customer service.  I won't ring them as it's an STD call and by the time I would have finished on the phone it would have cancelled out any refund.

Cheers

Hi there, olive leaf extract is mainly good for a healthy heart. It doesnt hurt to take it, as it is good for you. It can relieve mild fevers but i have never heard it being good for a cold.

My daughter suffered from sore throats all the time and she was told to take it to build up her system.  Paid about $40 for 90 tablets and she had to take them all.  Not sure if they helped or not though.  She got better like she always does.

Hi,
It says it on the bottle For the relief of coughs and sore throats. Traditionally used to help reduce fever, Supports healthy blood pressure. Relieves pain and inflamation of the joints.  There is also a book (not a pamphlet!!) that I got from the Chemist with all of these other things that it's supposed to be good for.

Cheers

My 75 year old dad had a small growth in his throat. His doctor was going to send him to a specialist because he thought it may be cancer. Dad took Olive leaf for a few months. By the next doctor's visit it was gone. Maybe went by itself.....maybe not. Can't be sure but dad reckons the olive leaf helped.
