When you folks mention 1 leaf or 10 leafs, are you talking about eating the leaves, or how?

I find that chewing and swallowing the leaf gives a real energy boost.One at a time as they are potent.I am up to 40 throughout the day for my weight,230 lbs. Thanks,Van

Thanks, that sure is an inexpensive supplement. I have enough in my yard for a thousand people for ten years.

I understand that in Australia there is more interest in the olive leaf remedy and tonic than before.Olive trees grow well there.Also around Paso Robles,California,more and more olive trees are being planted.Thanks,Van

In Reese Dubin's book:Miracle Food Cures From The Bible,in the part telling the benefits of olive oil,mention is made of ingesting olive leaves ,which act as a pain killer for toothache.Just noticed this in the text about a week ago.Thanks,Van

I am as of yet unconvinced that GULO gene is restored by olive leaf.

Thanks to Brother Van , I now eat several dozen leaves daily that Van has mailed to me to try and help me get rid of an upper rspiratory infection that has not been responding to any of the nutritional weapons in my arsenal.

I find that the olive leaves improve my digestion and seem to help dry up mucous.
I will continue to eat all of the olive leaves that Van sends me.
I have heard that Olive leaves have twice the polyphenol content of Green Tea.

The olive tree is a very spiritual picture of peace.

Is this a good "form" of olive leaf extract?

I think this brand would be worth a try.If you are in an area where olive trees grow,I think that the fresh leaf is hard to beat and a lot cheaper.I waited for someone to reply.No one did so this is my comment.Thanks,Van

In my experience of helping others, the best and value for money olive leaf extract is made by planetary herbals:

I have no interest in the brand or the retailer.

Van, thanks for drawing my attention to this thread. I will give the leaves a shot. Benefits of living in the Middle East!

Hello Ralph,
When I had the flu in March, it quickly developed into bronchitis that persisted for 2 weeks so I did a search for something to clear it up and found out that Quercetin w/ Bromelain was good for asthma. Since I already had a supply of it (NOW brand) for an allergy ailment, I quickly took 2 capsules and lo and behold, my bronchitis cleared almost over night. Not only that, I later had my brother take it for his lingering bronchitis and had my elderly mom take it and their bronchitis cleared up in a few short days. Amazing stuff. Josephine

Olive leaves, sound worth trying it.

Dear Susan,I am glad that you are going to try olive leaf.I think you will pleased.Bye for now,Van

Certainly someone can say something about their experience using olive leaf as a supplement.Thanks,Van

Hundreds are now using olive leaf or the tablets.They probably do not come over to the Vitamin C Foundation Forum to check this thread.Thanks,Van
