Hi Nanny. The Olive Leaf Extract is fantastic. I feel so much better taking it. I have been spreading the word and now half of London is using it. Thank you for telling me about it. I wonder if its helping me with the taper as well. Best wishes. Autumm

Autumn,

What form are you taking? Does in interact with any of the medications? I'm thinking of trying it.

Autumm, I'm so glad to hear that you are having such great results. I don't know if it's helping with the taper, but I'm sure the Olive Leaf will help many things. I've always used the capsule form, StacErek, because I couldn't stand the taste of the "liquid" extract. A friend of mine recently recommended Olive Leaf Nasal Spray, so I've just started using it. Hoping it will help my chronic sinus problems.

Here are good websites about Olive Leaf. The second talks about interactions with prescription meds.

Thank you Nanny. I would recommend it to anyone having checked it does not interfere with any other Meds one is taking. I take the liquid form. Autumm
