Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I'm thinking about using olive leaf extract for candida problems in mouth and gut. If anyone has suggestions what type/brand to use, or alternatives please let me know. I usually buy from iHerb as they are fast and cheap for shipping to Europe, or First Chinese for bulk herbs. My Spanish family has an organic plantation with olive trees (and lots of other stuff), so possibly I could ask them for fresh or dried leaves and make my own extract. Anybody experience with that? I have had thrush (light brown color) on the tongue ever since my ABX course 4 years ago. Unable to get rid of it with normal means like mouthwash. I can brush it away, but it will usually be back the next morning. I also have lots of gut problems with bloating and cramping, that might be caused by candida (just a guess though). These gut issues started together with other Lyme problems, and got worse after ABX treatment. I have a relatively healthy diet and sometimes use standard probiotics, but it doesn't seem to help. At one time I have tried Ozovit (Magnesium Peroxide, strong oxidant) which helps with the gut problems but only temporarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 My personal favorite brands for herbs....meaning those i consider having the highest quality, in no particular order: eclectic institute gaia herbs herb pharm There are many other reputable companies who use pure and organic/wildcrafted ingredients. These (above) are easy to obtain on line (i herb), at least in the States. I also use some supplements made by pure encapsulations (such as melatonin .5 mg., etc.) as they add no fillers. i get the pure encapsulation products from here: https://www.professionalsupplementcenter.com/ Olive leaf is effective for many people. The one i have on my shelf is olive leaf by eclectic institute. Potent capsules. Hope it helps.... Another product you might want to consider, Knotweed (or anyone else) for the gut issues is from Rain Tree ....it is called " amazon a-p " .....this product has helped me considerably with the gut and stomach pain and bloating. http://www.rain-tree.com/rtmprod.htm yarrow > > I'm thinking about using olive leaf extract for candida problems in mouth and gut.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi again, just want to add to this message that i see that Rain Tree also makes a " myco " blend, which you might be interested in. I've never used that one. I use their cats claw and amazon a-p. Peace and ease, yarrow > > > > I'm thinking about using olive leaf extract for candida problems in mouth and gut.

Anybody experience with that? I think you can just use the leaves as they are (organic is of course excellent). Some make tea of it, I just take ±500 mg 3 a day, just like knotweed powder. I'm just tought of another thing that's working for me, batling off candida: I chew a few times a day on 2 or 3 cloves. It only works if you do it often enough, I tend to forget it, but with 3 a 4 times it day, for me it works. > > I have had thrush (light brown color) on the tongue ever since my ABX course 4 years ago.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i've used olive leaf extract for yeast. i take when i am taking antibiotics. it also works for some viruses and bacteria. you can make olive leaf tea if you get the leaves. i've seen 2 different recipes on line, one with lemons added and one without. i think the lemons are for the vit C to help with herx reactions. ~dory Recipe to make your own tea from leaves: 10g Olive leaf tea. 2 quarts water. Boil two quarts of good water, place olive leaf tea (alone or mixed with other herbs/teas) in a tea cozy or directly into the boiling water. Immediately reduce heat to a high simmer and let tea brew for approximately fifteen minutes. Stir tea occasionally, strain to drink and/or refrigerate. Tea should be a medium amber color with a slightly bitter taste. To combat a specific ailment, sip refrigerated or re-heated tea and consume entire two quarts over a three day period. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - NKJV " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible " Washington.

Sometimes they add a bit of olive oil (which makes it a bit similar to the liver cleanse protocols I have read about). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that the health food shop has fresh organic sauerkraut. This is a good alternative to 'probiotics'. I have to start slowly, because I had serious trouble digesting that type of food over the last (I guess stuff with high sulfur content, like cabbage, certain beans, pea soup etc.).

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Our daughter has been taking syntol for yeast. She has had no side effects and it seems to be working. We did the test using saliva in the water and it was very obvious she had it and then we had her tested. Husband did it to his showed nothing in the glass …mine showed very little. The organic sauerkraut sounds like a great idea too. It is a scary thing to have especially added to the lyme. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of knot_weed Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 5:40 AM Subject: [ ] Re: olive leaf extract for candida treatment? > > Eat organic sauerkraut!
