OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT AND d-LENOLATE®
HISTORY |
| |
|
The olive
tree’s special gifts to humankind have
been documented for at least 6,000
years. In the bible it is called
“The Tree of Life.” The 22nd
chapter of Revelations states that “the
leaves of the tree were for the healing
of all nations.” |
| |
|
The
ancient Egyptians worshiped the olive
leaf as a symbol of heavenly power and
used the oil extracted from the olive
leave to mummify their kings.
Modern science is still discovering the
amazing preservation abilities of the
olive leaf. |
| |
|
Greek
mythology attributes the creation of
olive trees to the goddess Athena, who
first planted one among the rocks of the
Acropolis. It was believed she
endowed it with powers to illuminate the
darkness, soothe wounds, restore libido,
heal illness and provide nourishment. |
| |
|
Folk
medicines included olive leaf extract as
the main ingredient for a wide variety
of afflictions from healing burns and
inflammation to treating fevers, ulcers
and cholera. |
| |
|
Medical
records from the mid-nineteenth century
report that a tea made from olive leaves
even cured the worst cases of malaria.
Other researchers of the time found that the extract
increased blood flow in the coronary
arteries, relieved arrhythmias, and
prevented intestinal muscle spasms. |
| |
|
Modern
day medical experts discovered the
wonders
of olive leaf extract and found it to be
a natural, safe and effective herbal
with unequalled health-giving
properties. |
| |
|
In the
late 1960's, research by the Upjohn
Pharmaceutical Company showed that elenolic acid, a substance derived from
olive leaf extract, killed every virus
tested — every one! |
| |
Upjohn
investigated the possibility of
synthesizing it and patenting this
“miracle”. But after
lengthy research, they were unable to
extract an element that would remain
effective in the body for more than
a
few minutes and finally abandoned the
project. |
| |
Finally,
East Park Research, Inc. has developed
an olive leaf extract that preserves
more of the natural therapeutic
compounds found in certain olive leaves.
East Park Research now has patent
protection
on the proprietary extraction process. |
