Outlast Herpes

olive leaf extract

My recent review of the herpes cure product HSV Eraser suggested that Elenolic Acid, as found in Olive Leaf Extract and Prunella Vulgaris, might be beneficial in Herpes treatment.

Following hints at various cure-all websites, I sought confirmation that Upjohn Pharmaceuticals made mention of elenolic acid (from the olive leaf) and herpes. Incredibly, I found it!

EXCERPT from US Patent 3786068
'Elenolic acid being of low stability is generally used only in the form of salts, such as the calcium salt, sodium salt or as an ester, e.g., as methyl or ethyl elenolate. Such products are known to be hypotensive and were known to be useful in humans and animals as hypotensive agents (See U.S. Pat. 3,033,877). Most recently it was discovered that calcium elenolate and other metal elenolates and esters of elenolic acid are highly virucidal against Coxsackie A-21 virus, polioviruses1, 2, and 3, rhinovirus strain 209, parainfluenza-3 virus, herpes viruses, vaccinia virus, adenoviruses 1, 2, 3, and 7, respiratory syncitial virus, Newcastle disease virus and others. '

So I went to my fav supplier, Puritan dot com, and ran a query for this. Here is their page on one product, Olive Leaf Extract . I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a pure extract for topical use. However, as the substance is in gelcaps, it IS possible to puncture the gelcaps into a tiny, very clean bowl, and use Q-tips to apply the liquid directly to the sores. Try wearing super loose cotton underwear after application.

Herpes on the olive leaf extract dot com website, is only one topic of many on the potential benefits of this substance, both as a topical and ingestible OTC medicine.

How much should you use? I cannot begin to speculate. I would love some feedback on how much you used and what its effectiveness, or lack thereof, was.

Precaution #1: I know someone who is allergic to the olive tree. If you have allergies, and don't know what you are allergic to, assume you might be allergic to this. You should perform a skin test on yourself before administering it as a treatment on your sores. Certainly, you don't want to compound your problems with an allergic reaction on top of your herpes sores. Yikes.

To conduct a skin test, prick the skin of the inside of your forearm with something sharp and sterile, such as a needle washed in alcohol, boiled distilled (not tap) water or an open flame. Apply a small dab of the substance. Wait 15-30 minutes. If you see a reaction of any kind (redness, swelling, itchiness), you are allergic and shouldn't use that product topically. If there is no reaction, you should be safe. Apply alcohol to your forearm to stop the reaction. If you are allergic, see an allergist before ingesting this product.

Precaution #2: Elenolic acid is also hypotensive, meaning it lowers blood pressure. If you are already taking medication for high blood pressure (hypertension), DO NOT take this product without first seeking your doctor's advice. In fact, if you have ANY family history of HBP, are overweight and/or diabetic, have a heart condition or venous problems, hell, if you are in poor shape overall, have your doctor test you for high blood pressure. HBP is a silent killer; there are no symptoms. Even people that look to be at a normal weight and in good health could have it. If there is any doubt, get tested.
