Olive leaf extract and Cramps

Postby crampygut on Wed Dec 26, 2007 12:27 am

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has experienced the folowing symptoms while usig olive leaf extract? I usually have four to five very loose bowel motions per day, while taking 5ml twice a day of Olive Leaf Extract I only have one to two bowel motions a day but It is extremely loose explosive and my gut is extremely crampy (more than usual) during the day. This has been happening for the past four days that I have been on this product. Is this a common occurance with the initial use on this product?

Hi, Michael.

It can be. I'm going to actually refer you to three other discussion threads that I think will be helpful to you. Then, if you still have questions, please do not hesitate to post them.

Olive leaf extract and cramps

Postby crampygut on Thu Dec 27, 2007 10:45 am

Thanx Nicole. After reading the forum post you directed me to I have decided to continue using the Olive Leaf extract. I have Just a few questions please Nicole.

1. Has Olive leaf Extract ever set off a flair up and contributed in dmaging the bowels?

2. Is there a reference to the dose of OLE I should be taking to reach the desired effect in LTYG (if so what page)

3. Can a maintanance dose be take for a year or more with out a problem?

P.S I am currently on only two prescription drugs and one multivitamin.

Kind Thanks
Michael

Hi, Michael.

I haven't heard of it causing a flare or damaging the bowels. However, if high-dose probiotics weren't included on the regimen, I can certainly see how it could. No matter what antimicrobial you take - prescription or natural - it is crucial to follow it with at least three months of high-dosage probiotics or the door is left wide open for re-infection or a new infection of a different sort.

There is some information on pages 141-142 of LTYG regarding dosage. If you are interested in using it, it might also be worth purchasing the book that Jini quotes from regarding it.

I don't really know the answer to your third question and it wouldn't be right to pretend to. My gut answer, though, is that there wouldn't really be a need to take a maintenance dose long-term like that and if you did, you could create more problems than you solve. You could adapt Jini's Wild Oregano Protocol (pages 152-153 of LTYG) to olive leaf extract, which would have you cycling between various dosages of olive leaf extract vs. probiotics according to your symptoms, however.

All the best,
Nicole
