INFECTIOUS VIRAL DISEASES |
| |
|
Viruses
are unique organisms in that they are
near the center of the entire process
that comprises life. Unlike
pathogens that are attacked by the
host’s immune system and cleared from
the body as waste products, viruses
often enter and remain in the body’s
cells. As long as they are part of
a human host, viruses threaten that
person’s state of health. |
|
|
|
If left
alone and not endangered by an adverse
environment, viruses are almost
immortal. There is a chemical
ingredient in the leaves of olive trees
— the salt of a leaf’s chemically
reacted hydrolysis product, elenolic
acid — called calcium elenolate.
When released, calcium elenolate is
virucidal. If calcium elenolate
has been absorbed into a host's tissues,
the virus can’t invade cells because
it’s killed by the presence of this
virucidal substance. |

Herpes |

In 1969,
Haraold E. Renis, Ph.D., a virologist
with the Upjohn Company of Kalamazoo,
Michigan, proved that a compound of
oeluropein in the olive leaf is
virucidal for all viruses against which
it was tested. In particular, he
showed that calcium elenolate kills the
herpes virus. Dr. Renis wrote, “We
have found calcium elenolate to be
virucidal for a broad spectrum of
viruses in vitro." |
| |
|
More than
two decades later, the findings of
Harold Renis were upheld by three
biological scientists working at the
Laboratoire de Pharmacognosie in Rennes,
France. They found in 1992 that
all of the herpes viruses were inhibited
or killed outright by the active
antimicrobial ingredients in the olive
leaf. |

Viruses and “The Common Cold” |
| |
|
Rhinovirus is responsible for more than
40% of cold symptoms. It is
actually a family of more than 120
cold-inducing viruses and can be blamed
for most of the 250 colds an average
adult suffers during a lifetime.
It scorns antibiotics but is very
definitely killed by taking capsules of
olive leaf extract. |
|
As
reported to the American Society for
Microbiology in August 1975, olive leaf
extract
inactivates all myxoviruses, the germs
that cause a lower respiratory tract
infection known as the “Flu” which may
arises from any one of three different
influenza viruses. |

Upper
Respiratory Infections |

|
It is
also used effectively to prevent or kill
off an existing infection with the
parainfluenza viruses that cause croup,
bronchial disease and viral pneumonia. |
