HAVE ANY OF YOU REALLY TRIED OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT?

[tommy424]

I've been reading that olive leaf extract can kill HCV.My experience with herbs that I bought in a health food store has never been very good because they're not very strong.I've tried olive leaf before and it never did anything for me.I'm lucky to live in Losangeles, California because olive trees grow all over town.Last month I had an idea to make my own so I picked a trash bag full of leaves from a mission olive tree.After washing them,I packed a five gallon glass jar full of leaves then I filled the jar with Apple cider vinager and let it set for a month.I can't believe how strong it is.This is so strong that I can feel it working throughout my body every time I take a drink.My question is,have any of you ever tried this? My wife and I have been drinking this for two weeks now and I'll post the results I get from my next blood test in Febuary.

Sorry to disappoint you, prevailing winds make that impossible. It all goes to the Ojai Valley, not here.

I used oriental herbs from a very reputable Chinese doctor.  They really kept me in check for 5 years.  I believe my bad diet and some of those lite beers, brought my enzemes up.  I did try the Olive Leaf, whew the taste was awful.  I stopped using it very quickly as I couldn't handle the taste.

If you want to use Olive Leaf get it from a reputable place and not pick it from trees.  As it was said above, it could contain pesticides, etc.  Altough, plants do filter pollution.  They take in the bad stuff and give off oxygen.

Ive become a bit of a skeptic from my experience with HCV G1 and treatment. Interferon and Ribavarin treatment seems to be given on basis of "connect the dots" with only subtle variations in dosage distinguishing individual patient Tx.
Interferon and Ribavarin Tx almost casually accepted as only option despite the SX (Horrible). I would try about anything else I've heard about thus far before joining the herd and taking (given I had time)

Now for the hypocrit in me to come out.
I DO believe Int/Rib Tx will and does kill the HCV virus, It also dam near killed the patient too in my case.
At this time I DO NOT believe any other concoction does this in a DIRECT fashion. However I think there are alternative medicines which aid the body's (and Liver's) immune system and regenerative ability's which in turn increase likelyhood of SVR.

Bottom line (for me anyhow) is that I think it will ultimately be a combination of Big Drug Co. and alternative medicines which form the best defense and offensive team.

How's that for standing on the fence line LOL! Be well all!
