Olivus Mentioned in Leading Newsletter:

Thanks to a long time customer (Verna from Calgary, Canada) who sent her testimony in to Dr. Whitaker, we received many new customers. Her testimony was published in the March edition of Dr. Whitaker's Newsletter, one of America's most widely read and respected natural health newsletters. Here is her testimony with comments from Dr. Whitaker:

Anyone who has had shingles, or has family or friends who've had episodes, know what a painful and destructive illness it is. In December 2006 I had a bad fall and as a result of the concussion I suffered, stress led to an attack of shingles in July 2007. The pain was excruciating and I could not find anything to alleviate it. My doctor suggested that I take the maximum dose of Tylenol, which helped very little. The infection spread farther up and down my body.

A friend suggested I try olive leaf products by a company called Olivus. I purchased the capsules and began taking them immediately. The pain diminished within two days. I also like their loose tea. I drink five glasses every day and have none of the shingles symptoms anymore. These products have affected my life in a very significant manner and I make sure to tell anyone who will listen to keep them in mind in case shingles rears its ugly head. - Verna M. Blanchard, Calgary, Canada

In addition to their antiviral effects, olive leaves contain an antimicrobial substance called oleuropein that boosts immune function. Therefore, it's not surprising that olive leaf extract products would come in handy for treating shingles. For more information on the Olivus products Verna used, visit olivus.com. - JW
