Many physicians, who believe that a flu virus tends to run its course in a short period of time, are often hesitant about prescribing anti viral medications or antibiotics since the more serious super bugs are becoming increasingly resistant to prescription medications, and the possibility of developing immunities to them is becoming more prevalent. Dr. James R. Privitera, M.D., a physician in Covina, California says "The olive leaf may be a true antiviral, inasmuch as it selectively blocks an entire virus-specific system in the infected host. It appears, moreover, to offer us healing effects that are not covered by pharmaceutical antibiotics. We believe that many people who lead stressful lives or who may be particularly susceptible to colds and viruses may benefit from long term use of olive leaf as a preventive agent." Customer comments . . . "I became ill with the flu in February and had several immune boosters, extra vitamins and three antibiotics. My fever was 102-103 every afternoon and this continued even after the antibiotics. I developed paralyzing chest and abdominal pain, being confined to the couch for weeks, not able to hardly walk. My weight dropped to 84 pounds. Medical tests revealed nothing specifically wrong. "I started taking Olive Leaf on July 18. Within a few days, my temperature started dropping and it is slowly and steadily going down so that some days I haven't needed to take Tylenol to reduce it. The pain is subsiding gradually and my appetite and strength are returning." An elementary school teacher with a history of asthma and super-susceptibility to colds and flu believes that Olive Leaf has armor-plated her against the legion of germs that run rampant throughout her classroom.
"I used to get sick all the time," she says. "One school year, I got strep throat eight times. If you sneezed at me, the chances are I would get sick. Not anymore. When many kids in my class were coughing, sneezing and blowing their noses before Christmas, I caught a slight cold and that's it." "The product," says Dr. Privitera, "may be a true antiviral, inasmuch as it selectively blocks an entire virus-specific system in the infected host. It appears, moreover, to offer us healing effects that are not covered by pharmaceutical antibiotics. We believe that many people who lead stressful lives or who may be particularly susceptible to colds and viruses may benefit from long term use of Olive Leaf as a preventive agent." |
