Toxicity of the Olive Leaf

Is the toxicity of the Olive Leaf an Issue?

A point of discussion that's seems common nowadays, is about potential Olive leaf toxicity. While it boosts the immune system in a remarkable way, some worry about side effects. With all the drugs with bad side effects circulating around today, you can't blame them.

Like most things, when you search out facts about the toxicity of the Olive leaf, you can hear from both sides of the argument. Some say there's absolutely none, and others say there are some.

This fact seems to be prevalent in all readings, and that's the fact that the Olive leaf has never been found to have a toxic or lethal dose. That leads me to believe that besides being all natural, it won't kill you, but it will kill a whole lot of what's ailing you. And it seems that if there were truly substantial side effects, there would be more of an outpouring of information about it.

For now, there's much more written about the 'good effects' of the olive leaf than any kind of side effects. Besides, the doses don't have to be huge. Small doses can work well against parasites and bacteria, and all without harming the good bacteria. This is the problem with antibiotics, they kill 'all' bacteria, good and bad... thus the side effects follow.

The toxicity of the Olive leaf should be a non-factor when deciding to use it as a supplement. Small and effective doses. Even with a disorder as powerful as AIDS, the Olive leaf is showing much promise.

Most any type of worm will practically RUN out of your system when confronted with an Olive leaf derivative. Along with its active ingredient 'oleuropein', it will put hookworms, tapeworms, flatworms and roundworms on the run quickly and safely.

Just a little advice - if you see the words "Calcium Elenolate" listed as the active ingredient, just know it was laboratory made. If your product says it's standardized, then it's that way to ensure integrity.

I did, however, find one drawback in my search for the toxicity of the Olive leaf, and that was for people with gallstones. Due to its stimulating effect on the contraction of the gall bladder, it’s not recommended under these specific circumstances. Outside of that, you will be hard pressed to find some negative feedback.

The toxicity of the Olive leaf is not an issue unless you suffer from low blood pressure or blood sugar. With this in mind reputable producers have set a correct dosage at a maximum of 50 mg a day.

It seems to be quite an ally against high blood pressure. It fights against 'hardening of the arteries' and has been tested effectively in the fight with diabetes. These tests are new and not yet fully researched, but very promising never the less.

Not all research is finished in this area. But the promises are great due to the number of things it appears to be good for being high in comparison to any negative effects. The research is continuing, and hope springs eternal for the ones who need what it promises.

Unfortunately proper research takes a long time. The research is being pushed along with each passing day, and soon there will be more results available and we will be better informed to be able to make safe use of this wonderful herb.
