Thank You, I love your product. I try to drink one cup a day. Charles A.

I enjoy your products. I have very sensitive skin which becomes easily irritated & red. Your products have been very soothing. Sidney T.

A friend told me of the benefits of olive leaf extract. I have been taking it for 10 days now and I am already seeing surprisingly beneficial results. The anti-viral effects are astounding.No more antibiotics for me, this works quickly, and there are no side effects except for an initial overload of your system because of dead microbes,etc. Once past this, you are home free,so to speak, and you may take as needed, or every day as a preventative. (I had better stop here. I am beginning to sound like a commercial.Ha) Nova O.

I'm really excited about finding you guys! I'm a huge fan of OLE and I've read that CA olive leaf extract is the best in the world. I'm spreading the word about the amazing secrets of olive leaves, and hopefully people will understand that our health is God given and He's given us what it takes to keep it that way. Peace to you! Kim

the Silken Skin lotion is perfect! Keep up the good work! Thank you very much,

I have been brewing your tea for some time but have ordered by mail or
phone. This is the first time I have used your website. I owe my strong
immune system to drinking your tea everyday. Thank you for a great product.
Sandy M.

I am so thrilled with your products. We have 10 children, and have made it through the winter illness free for the first time. The lotion is so fantastic, as I am very sensitive to fragrances and have dry skin. This is the first lotion that I would say is
perfect. The soap is great too. Thank you! Kim N.

I've tried both the soap and lotion, and I love them! This is what I'll be
using from now on...Carole C.

This is my second order this stuff is amazing. It cured my Strep throat. It
is currently getting rid of my warts on my hands. I have had these for over
ten years, even doctors have burned them and they never went away. They are
starting to go away. I take your pills 3 times a day, wash my hands in your
soap, and use the liquid extract directly on them at night. My wife is also
taking this product and notice increase in energy in a few hours. Thanks for
making this product available. H.J.

I decided to write because olive leaf saved me again.   It's funny how when I'm feeling good I don't think to take Olivus but sure enough something crept in and Saturday night I felt it coming on, by Sunday I had a full blown flu complete with 102 fever and cold sweats.   I popped two olive leaf caps and had some tea then went to sleep.   Again later evening more tea and a cap and darned if I didn't wake up Monday feeling great, like new.   Thanks for the big bottle of capsules, now I'll try to keep up with a cap a day.   Eric W.

Hi, I buy olive leaf by the pound and it's been great !   I have a cold now I'm just getting over and olive leaf has saved me once again.  I love it with Astragalus root and galangal root.   I also use white willow bark and sarsaparilla root. Susan C.

I love your tea. It truly is a God send. I am using the lotion as well and
my acne is practically gone. My blemishes are fading. I have been dealing with this condition for many years now and i have finally found the miracle cure that works from the inside out. Thank you Olivus!!! Oh and lest i forget - No colds for me this season :) Banke O

I have been on Olive Leaf per my doctor for about 5 years now. I used to get sinus infections every six weeks at a previous job and Dr. Edwards said the stress was kicking my auto immune system into overdrive and to take the Olive Leaf. Well, sure enough it worked, I mean really worked. There were a few things I learned though, one is the die off made me feel like I had the flu so I had to start taking my pill at night before bed, the second was that it works on dogs. I had a dog with a swollen leg that we could not get down with conventional and expensive antibiotics. Four days later the infection was gone. I have a good relationship with my vet and told him about it but he is older and not open. I had been buying from another brand and after recommending Olive Leaf to another friend for her daughter's problems she emailed me your website and your product is 5 dollars cheaper and the same %. What a deal, plus you all are nice and send sample products. Sadie P.

"Hiya Olivus I'm back to order more tea from you and wanted to say thanks for such a great product. Early this week I started to feel the winter virus crap coming on in my chest and pulled out some of your tea. I had 2 cups Monday, tues and wed, and took a capsule each day as well. I am feeling great today with easy breathing and lots of energy. I'm buying more tea and some extract as well, keep up the good work!" ~Bob B.

"I am not a regular tea drinker. I like coffee and water. I was inspired to try Olivus by all of its features, especially since I drink a lot of coffee, smoke cigarettes, and have been feeling exhausted all the time. I introduced my boyfriend to the tea and it seems to be good for the libido as well, everybody I have given the tea to has said it is very good for tiredness, regular stool movement, etc etc..I also find it is very helpful to cure colds and other aches and pains. It is just good overall health remedy. I add Lime flavored honey is especially good to sweeten but I like it "as is" most of the time. Why isn't it available in local grocery stores? It really is a miraculous product! I can't tell my friends enough about it and urge them to take it. The thought of selling it has crossed my mind more than once. I bless the day I found your site on the internet. God bless you. It has made a great difference in my life!" ~Cecilia C.

The lotion you sent me is good. I like the fact that it isn’t greasy and does feel good on my skin. I have used about ¾ of the bottle already. Thanks, Barbara

I am very pleased with the products I've received.  My husband is frequently in the public and we've kept colds and flu bugs away with a daily supplement of Olive Leaf extract and he has enjoyed the tea as well.  We have had a much healthier winter season since including this supplement into our daily lives.  I've recently sent some to my sister in Portland since I've felt the benefits personally so I'm sharing with her what I've learned. Sarah W.

Hello. I just ordered olive leaf tea from your company. Your service was
very fast, even though it's right before Christmas. The tea tastes great.
Thank you! Kathy

"Dear Olivus Team, I discovered Olive leaf years ago because I am a nutritionist. I take it every day to prevent colds and to boost immunity. Buying it out of the bottle is okay, but I do prefer to buy it from someone who specializes in it, I think the quality is better because it is less processed. My husband prefers it in the capsule, so I get it in the powder as well, he also takes it everyday. I have not been sick in 7 years, and I know without a doubt it is the olive leaf. I like to sweeten with Splenda or Stevia but plain is fine. It should be well known that a study in the 1970's proved olive leaf to be more effective than antibiotics with out the side effects, but western medicine makes so much money when people don't know the truth about natural healing. I am 35 but look 23, I give part of that to the olive leaf as well. Thanks for asking my opinion." ~Gia

"I have received your tea and am now drinking it daily. I am happy to tell you it helped clear up some kind of persistent cold like ailment I had been suffering from for months within two day's. I find Olivus tea delicious sweetened with a drop of Stevia." Kindest regards ~Jason

"You could say that I've been taking olive leaf tea now for a few years, and I've never had a cold or flu in that time period. My girlfriend just had a bad flu that was dragging on for almost a month. After she took several cups of olive leaf tea for about three days, it knocked out the flu. Also it is good that your tea doesn't seem to have caffeine in it. My girlfriend can't drink coffee or tea with caffeine, but she was able to drink the olive leaf tea. Thanks for your great product."~ Joel

"After we received that tea from you, I, Margaret, got the strangest, deepest "cold" like sickness ever - I had it full blown and David started to get the symptoms when we remembered the olive leaf tea. We both started drinking it - I had the most lingering episode - but really cleansed - coughing a lot of mucous up - and David had the best results - I believe because he started sooner than I did with the tea - the symptoms never took hold for him and he never got whatever IT was. Thanks for the healing remedy." And blessings to you, ~Margaret Hiller

"I Drank the tea for three days and feel great now! I'm sold ;-)" Thanks again, ~CF

"I do want to tell you that I will never be without olive leaf tea again. I became very ill last week. I serious lung infection. With no health insurance I take care of myself herbally. I began to drink a cup of the tea each day and within 3 days I was feeling much better. I'm sure I would have run into some serious problems had I not had the tea." Darlene

"I have increased energy and improved health." ~Troy P.

"Thanks for the recent shipment of tea - I tried the tea today and I can say that as *very picky* tea drinkers (we pretty much stick to really high quality Japanese green tea), the taste of this Olive Leaf tea is very good. A refreshing change from our normal beverage of choice! One question, is there any of that Oleur... something... whatever the chemical found in Olive Leaves is that is good for us ... found in olives themselves?" Just curious.... Jackie
Hi Jackie, That is Oleuropein you inquire about and the answer is no, the leaching process removes this compound from the olive fruit.

"I have enough energy at the end of the week to enjoy the weekend!" ~Dianne

"I feel my life has turned around..." ~Michael

I love your product. I can not say enough good about it or your customer service. Every time I've ordered, I've received my shipment within a few days. It's wonderful. The tea is delicious and I bring it to work and everyone that tries it, loves it. It has even prompted others to order for themselves from you. I also think it has boosted my immune system a little, because if I feel a little bug starting, I just drink more of the tea and interestingly enough I don't really get sick. I've tried the soaps too and love them. Thank you so much for a wonderful product. Dawn B

"I've tested it twice by stopping taking it and each time my problems have returned and I get fatigued easily. Then I start taking it again and I pick up." ~D.H.

"Goodbye sore throat!" ~Jo-Anne

"I'm a very poor student at the moment and used to take olive leaf as soon as I had a sore throat coming on. It seemed to work almost within 24 hours. I swear by it. Its funny I tell my friends and family but people seem to stick to their own ways, and complain!! I suppose repition and case studies are the only way to help. My mother has extremely high blood pressure and takes pills for the doctor. Im sure Olive leaf would help her. I've just sent her your web page. Because I'm so poor as present and cant afford the $35 per month or so for the pills I've resorted to drying the leaves my self, I'm going to powder them and take them. I figure that's how they did it 100-1000,s of years ago". ~Anita

"I've had no coughing this past winter (after 25 years of chronic coughing)." ~Al

"After just five weeks I noticed a distinct increase in my energy levels and overall health. This improvement was not temporary, but has lasted to this day. ~P.H.

"My recovery rate after physical exertion has improved." ~Russell (age 68).

"I was surprised to get through last winter without a single cough, flu or even a runny nose. I don't need to carry a hankie anymore!" ~J.A.

"Never before have I been free of the common cold for so long." ~S.O.

"After taking Olive Leaf for just one week before the World Veterans' Athletic Championships held in Brisbane (July 2001) I was able to run a personal best time in the 800 metres." ~Jan

"My cholesterol levels are down... I am sleeping a lot better...my stress levels are much reduced..." ~Vic

"Since commencing Olive Leaf Extract treatment my symptoms (chronic fatigue) are drastically reducing in severity. There is light at the end of the tunnel" ~I.F.

"I have been using your Olive Leaf for five months and I have found my usual symptoms of hay fever have disappeared completely." ~David

"I do not wake up tired in the morning and feel brighter and want to do things." ~Desire'e

"I have been using your olive leaf for some two weeks now with some remarkable results. A bad cold with a persistent cough has simply disappeared and my energy levels remind me of my "fit as a mallee bull" days some 25 years ago! ~Bob

"I have had a history of asthma every winter. I had a particularly persistent bout of flu in 2000 which triggered several asthma attacks. This year I haven't had the slightest hint of coughs or asthmatic occurrences," ~Peter

"Two of my patients showing many mycoplasma (bacteria) in their blood from a hemaview analysis (live blood analysis) took olive leaf for four weeks. After four weeks the blood was retested and showed very few mycoplasma left. One patient had only three mycoplasma, the other patient had no visible signs of any." ~Ann

"I will continue to take Olive Leaf for a very long time as I believe it has been of huge benefit to me." ~Dianne

"My health has greatly improved even in this short time - no sinusitis or lung infections and my energy levels are great." ~Sandra

I gave 10 pills to a friend whose dog has a bad ear infection that the vet said was going to cost over 1000 to clean up and cure. I told her that she didn't have anything to lose and she emailed me the dog after 3 days seemed like he was feeling better....I certainly hope so. Anyway she is a great friend and animal lover. Sadie P.

Good Morning Everyone!!
I just want to say that I had a great report from my ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat Dr.) this AM!! He said he has never seen my sinuses look better and the inflammation was reduced enough that he could actually see into my maxillary sinuses! The Olive Leaf also helps with my blood sugars and allows me to reduce my basal (background insulin) a bit. And again, the Olive Leaf along with my Paradigm Insulin Pump have both helped me to keep my blood sugars from swinging so much! Thanks again, ~Janet!

I am so grateful to my friend Sharon and her Dad researching and introducing Olive leaf to me. I have been drinking the Olive tea and taking a capsule once a day for over 6 months. I just added the Olive leaf extract about 1.5 weeks ago. It carried me through the retreat, most of you know my immune system is low. It was truly a miracle that I did not catch anything from anyone (some of the ladies weren't sure if their cough was from their allergies or the beginning of a cold or exactly what they had).

The Olive leaf is truly amazing to me, I thank the Lord for what He has created!! I would encourage you to purchase the Olive tea, which I use with a cup of Green tea everyday and also take the Olive leaf capsule once a day. I use the extract, when I need an extra "boost", if I am going to be around crowds or I notice that my sinuses are acting up. A great company is www.Olivus.com, they have a wonderful variety of teas, the extract and capsules to choose from!

Just wanted to pass along the great news and hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. Thinking of those of you that are dealing with flooding and rain, I hope it let's up for you soon.
By His Grace and In His Strength,
~Laurie

What Professionals Are Saying

Dr. James R. Privitera, M.D., a physician in Covina, California, began using Olive Leaf Tea early in 1995. "I think we are just beginning to scratch the surface for what seems to be a very promising and unique herbal with multiple applications," he says. "We continually hear from patients about new and unexpected benefits. Although we do not have long term perspectives as yet, preliminary clinical results are very positive."

Dr. Phil Selinsky, at the Institute for Holistic Studies in Santa Barbara reports: "Some patients have told me that Olive Leaf Tea took down their dental infections in a matter of hours! The response is quite impressive."

Dr. Morton Walker: "Since the beginning of time there has been only one remedial treatment that has worked by itself to win the fight against viruses, flu, fungi, parasites and bacterial infections. It's been used as a cure-all for thousands of years - a phenolic compound known as Oleuropein, the source of powerful disease resistant properties. But only in the last year has it been recognized by agriculturists, herbalists and holistic doctors as a totally effective and completely safe all-natural healer."
and...
“Based on my research.   I am convinced that Olive Leaf (and extracts) is destined to become the most useful, wide spectrum herbal ingredient of the 21 st century.”   Dr. Morton Walker

Biochemist Arnold Takemoto: "it [Olive Leaf Tea & Extract] sure has power; particularly against viruses that are more tenacious!" "It fills a hole that we haven't been able to fill before. It gives us a new, effective tool."

"The amount of antioxidants from olive leaf and other sources you maintain in your body is directly proportional to how long you will live." Richard Cutler, M.D.-- Director of Anti-aging Research at the National Institute of Health(NIH)

Patient Reports - Reports from patients dramatically reveal some of the many potential uses of Olive Leaf. The accounts appearing here, however, are intended as information only and should not be construed by readers to mean that the supplement will be effective or provide relief in all such cases.

Chronic Fatigue - "Chronic fatigue patients are often helped by Olive Leaf," says Dr. Privitera. "It is not a cure-all, but the results are substantive enough so that many individuals want to continue taking the supplement." Many chronic fatigue patients suffer from an associated depression. Privitera reports a number of cases where patients went through the "die-off" period and came out highly energized and no longer depressed. One female patient described to Dr Privitera what she called a "really quite unbelievable" recovery within one month of taking the supplement. "For the last few years, I have not been feeling like myself," she wrote. "I've had little energy and enthusiasm for anything. This is not my usual nature. I attributed it to weight, unemployment and just being down. My head was always somewhat achy and I couldn't figure out why. The only way I could describe it would be as a constant low degree headache that never left. I started taking Olive Leaf and noticed an immediate elevation of my spirits. What I liked about the product was that it was effective but gentle and didn't make me hyper or unable to sleep. Quite the contrary, I slept better. "After a few days, I began to notice more energy and a stronger sense of well-being. The cobwebs in my brain started to diminish. I also noticed a bad shoulder and a bad knee started to get better. The pain associated with these joints remarkably improved. The only side effects I had were a couple of headaches in the beginning that disappeared with some aspirin. (Editor's note: A possible symptom of detoxification.) I started to feel much, much better. It was amazing to see the fatigue disappear and my general health improve. I couldn't believe I felt so well. "I stopped taking the product after thirty days and experienced no withdrawal or anything. I simply felt better and that has stayed the same for the last sixty days without the product." A female patient diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Virus reported that the supplement "has helped me very much in overcoming the tiredness I feel. It has given me energy."

Flu and Colds -Olive Leaf offers a potent tool against the common cold and flu. Consider the following letter written on August 1, 1995, by a female patient with persistent flu symptoms: "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 tea 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." At the time of her next medical examination, on August 15, the patient's temperature had been normal for a week and she had taken no painkillers for two weeks. An elementary school teacher with a history of asthma and super-susceptibility to colds and flu believes that Olive Leaf tea 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."

Herpes - Dr. Privitera has given Olive Leaf tea & extracts to many herpes patients. One male patient in his early 40's experienced frequent lesions along with fatigue. In a week his lesions disappeared and his energy increased. He wrote to Dr. Privitera to say that Olive Leaf was the only medicine that ever eliminated his herpes." Even the most minute blisters are gone," he wrote. A female patient had an unusually stubborn herpetic cold sore in the mouth for four months. The woman also suffers from cancer, thus there may be some significant immune exhaustion involved. After one week on Olive Leaf , the sore disappeared. These type of clinical experiences are consistent with a private 1993 herpes study in humans using an earlier, weaker and ethanol (alcohol-based) form of Olive Leaf extract. Of the six subjects involved, all reported symptomatic relief. Three said their lesions disappeared in 36 to 48 hours. The remaining three were placed on a stronger dose. One of them said that three days later most of the lesions were gone. The other two individuals were newly infected with the virus and were likely experiencing a much higher level of virus shedding. On the stronger dose, they reported also doing better. All six subjects said this procedure produced better results than Acyclovir, a medication they had previously used.

HIV - In reference to HIV, Positive Health News (m) reports that a man from Oakland, CA, who after taking Olive Leaf Tea 4 times a day for 3-1/2 months, without any other medications, lowered his HIV viral load 47%, his CD4 and CD8 count rose 24% and 27%, his WBC was increased 38% and his absolute Lymphocyte count rose 40%. I'd say Olive Leaf made a difference!

Multiple Symptoms - One woman with chronic fatigue, colds, asthma and vaginal yeast infections had excellent results. Five weeks after starting Olive Leaf, she returned to see Dr. Privitera. She told the physician that all her symptoms had virtually cleared up! The woman, a teacher, was able to take on new projects she couldn't consider before. A male patient with multiple symptoms wrote as follows: "I became ill in and was diagnosed with a stomach and prostate infection. I was treated with high doses of antibiotics, but never fully recovered. I was troubled with multiple symptoms, some of which were back and neck pain, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, swollen glands, sinus and digestive problems. I was subsequently diagnosed with fibromyalgia (chronic fatigue syndrome) and the physicians recommended Prozac-type antidepressants and anti-inflammatory drugs. But I refused them. "I began taking Olive Leaf along with my regular vitamin and mineral supplements in August of 1995 at the rate of one capsule every six hours. I increased the dosage after five days and began feeling better. I tried different dosages for a number of days until I found the optimum amount for me. Today I take three capsules four times a day. My overall health has greatly improved and so has my energy and disposition.

Rheumatoid Arthritis - A male patient wrote the following letter: "Five years ago, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. After taking all the medicines I could stand with no real results, I was informed about some nutritional supplements. One of them was Olive Leaf. After taking it for three weeks, I noticed more flexibility in my fingers, elbows and neck. There was marked relief of muscle tension surrounding joints. Overall, I am enjoying Olive Leaf Tea with my daily routine." A number of other patients have reported significant relief of joint pain. It is unclear at this time what healing mechanism is being triggered by the olive leaf compound.

Fungus and Yeast Infections - Improvement of fungal infections has been reported by a number of patients. A woman with an infection of the large toenail reported that within two months after starting Olive Leaf, the condition was about three-quarters healed. She had the infection for more than five years previous and no medication or natural agent had helped. Dr. Privitera himself reported a toenail fungal infection he had cleared up as a result of his using Olive Leaf tea and tincture extract topically. More than 10 million Americans are estimated to have disfiguring fungal nail infections, a widely under-recognized medical problem. It is common among athletes, elderly individuals, people who stand a lot or wear the same shoes every day, who wear artificial fingernails and patients with AIDS, cancer and diabetes. Drugs taken for cancer and AIDS lower resistance and are believed to make people more susceptible to infection. Recently, a new drug was approved - the first in 35 years - for the condition. The drug is called Sporanox and is said to be more effective than older antifngal medications. According to an article by Patricia Anstett of the Knight-Ridder Newspapers, two 100 milligram pills are taken daily for about three months, at a cost of $900. Older drugs, taken for twelve months or more, cost double or more that amount over the longer duration. Even with the new drug, the condition can return once the medication is discontinued. Results to date suggest that Olive Leaf offers a natural and much less expensive avenue of self-treatment. One male patient reported amazing results for a fungus infection of the tongue he had for 30 years. "All kinds of diets, treatments and regimes were tried but to no avail," he reported. "Within three weeks on EDEN(TM), the fungus disappeared." More than a dozen of Privitera's patients with candidiasis have reported significant improvements with Olive Leaf. They speak of less infections, allergies, fatigue, dullness and more energy. One woman said she was able to clean out her garage, which was full of dust, and before Olive Leaf Tea, that would have been impossible for her.

Bacterial Infections - The bactericidal effect of Olive Leaf tea & extracts was dramatically evident in the case of a 64-year-old physician bedridden for four years since suffering a major stroke. He also had recurrent bladder infections that would cause considerable pain, smelly urine and fever. All efforts to control the condition had failed, including a $1,000 antibiotic specially prepared for him. The patient experienced constant discomfort. His urine was cloudy and "looked like soup." Often, it contained blood. After one month on Olive Leaf the infections had vanished and after six months, the condition has not recurred. He has been taking a standard dose of four capsules daily. The patient also used to suffer from frequent allergies and colds and took medication frequently to keep these in check. The incidence and severity have been significantly minimized with Olive Leaf and he requires considerably less medicine.

Skin Conditions - After two months with Olive Leaf, a male patient reported "significant" improvement for a chronic scalp infection he had suffered with for more than ten years. "It had flared up causing very painful eruptions and lesions in my scalp which, over time, have killed quite a few hair follicles," he said. "Modern medical doctors and dermatologists have been unable to eradicate (the condition). I had resolved myself to the fact that there was no cure. I am satisfied that I am getting some significant results from using Olive Leaf. My scalp remains a little tender, but the eruptions have all but ceased. I am continuing to use the product about twice a day, and the skin color is much healthier than it has been in recent time. "No matter what drug therapy my doctors have prescribed in the past, none has provided me with the level of relief I am currently experiencing. I would gladly recommend this product to others suffering chronic skin ailments." A female patient reported better energy and disappearance of a rash in thirty days. The rash occurred in winter, or during times of extreme cold.
