I don't know if Olive leaf extract is high in oxalates, but what I can tell you is that green olives are high. I would imagine that it is possible that the leaves are too, but I don't know for sure.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I know, my daughter was a craver of all things extremely high in oxalates. She also craved green olives. I suspected OLE would be high (probably higher than the olives) but it was the pains that kind of confirmed it for me. So many good sups and herbs are going to have to be avoided. I really want to be able to do the natural anti-virals this summer and I don't know where this leaves me...Just wondering if others have noticed those pains or have experience with oxalate problems. > > > supplements is unknown at this time.

I don't know if you read the sulfurstories list... I just wrote there about a very unpleasant experience with these oxalates... It actually started with GSE. I believe GSE caused my problem (I don't know if GSE is high in oxalates). Now I am not even able to take vitamin C anymore. Even half a gram is too much sometimes. Oxalates don't cause leg pain for me, but my neck becomes very stiff. Epsom salts help a lot. Give your daughter a foot bath about an hour after every meal. Calcium taken with meals also (supposedly) helps. Also citrate. And bicarbonate of soda. Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm not sure about OLE specifically, but many supplements list doseage based upon a 150 lb male, so I'd start with no more than 1/4 dose. S S <p>I've just recently gotten my son OLE liquid which says to give one ml a day maybe mixed with water, what would I probably need to use since my son is 38 lbs. at 4 yrs. old.
