HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT
You will need: 1. 1/2 pound of whole olive leaves (olea europaea) air-dried at
temperatures not exceeding 150° F. 2. One gallon of distilled water. 3. A
Crock-Pot with a 5 or 6 quart capacity (i.e "Rival." brand - K-Mart) 4. Two 2
quart glass bottles or a comparable capacity to hold 3 and 1/2 quarts of
finished product.

Place 1/2 pound (8 ounces) of whole olive leaves in a bowl and rinse by adding
water to cover the leaves. After rinsing the olive leaves, drain out the water.
Add the olive leaves to a Crock-Pot and add one gallon of distilled water. Place
cover on Crock-Pot. Turn on low and leave for 12 hours. After 8 hours, check the
temperature. The ideal temperature range is between 175° F and 185° F.

If the temperature of the batch after 6 hours or more reaches or exceeds 185
degrees F., shut off crock pot and let it cool to 175 degrees F, then turn it
back on and monitor the temperature hourly. You can also move the cover off
center to allow heat to escape, but some water will need to be added to keep the
pot full. After 12 hours of heating, turn the Crock-Pot off if the temperature
falls within the target range and wait until it cools to room temperature (6 to
8 hours). If the temperature is below the target range after 12 hours, let is
simmer for an additional hour or two longer until it reaches the target range.
Use a cup and scoop out 3 or 4 cups of the olive leaf extract and place in glass
jars. Pour the balance of liquid through a strainer to separate the liquid from
the leaves and place it in glass jars. Discard the leaves. DO NOT REUSE THEM
AGAIN. Refrigerate the extract in a closed glass jar. Use within two weeks.

Dose: For adults, use 1/2 cup twice a day. To reduce the bitter taste, add water
or ginger ale. If the first lab results show movement in the right direction,
try increasing the dose to 1/2 cup three times a day to see if better results
can be obtained with higher doses. Write or call Keep Hope Alive to keep us
informed of your results. Best time is take the extract is once in the morning
and then again in the afternoon (not later than 7pm). If you take it before
bedtime, the increase in energy make cause insomnia.

leaves (Olea Europaea) - Product # W1119.

Note: if you have an olive tree (species Olea Europaea) growing in your back
yard, you can pick the leaves right off the tree and use them.

Retail Sources. Local health food stores. They may order olive leaves for you
from San Francisco Herb Co.

Mail Order Sources: D.A.I.I.R. 888-951-5433 and Dr. Princetta - 404-873-6888.
The cost of one pound of whole olive leaves is $10 to $12 a lb. Do not use olive
leaf powder. One pound will provide about a month's worth of olive leaf extract.
The homemade formula is very cost effective.

Case test results: Wm Frederickson reported one PWA (person with AIDS) who drank
1/2 cup twice a day increasing CD4 counts from 207 to 922 in 6 months. This was
all she had done. Other persons trying the home made olive leaf extract: Robert
Marra Ph No 718-236-9098 John (Calif) Ph No 310-399-0236. Al (Florida)
813-839-2815, Alain-Guy Giraudon 212-243-6061 Note on side effects: Two persons
reported developing a rash (an allergic response) to olive leaf products and had
to discontinue it for a while until the rash cleared, but have since resumed
using it with no recurrence.

Note: William Frederickson has written a book on the olive leaf and the science
behind the medicinal properties of its active ingredient - oleuropein. His work
is supported by references to over 70 articles published in medical journals. Wm
Frederickson is currently in search of a publisher for his book. He is also
working with a pharmaceutical firm in Switzerland to develop an olive leaf
extract with a high concentration of oleuropein that is stable. When research
shows that they have a stable product, it will be offered to the public as a
dietary supplement. For more information you can reach him at 317-475-0602.

A Summary of What We Have Learned about the olive leaf extract
1. Over the counter products (Eden, Alive and Well and other brands). The active
ingredient in the olive leaf, Oleuropein, is unstable and breaks down in the
presence of both oxygen and moisture. The estimated shelf life of all olive leaf
products sold in capsule or tablet form is 6 months from the date of
manufacture. Ignore expiration dates printed on the bottles. They are pure
fiction. Find out when the lot number was actually manufactured and ask for a
copy of the lab analysis based on the HPLC method. Coated tablets may have a
longer shelf life than capsules. Manufacturers could double or triple the life
of their products if they packed them in nitrogen and removed the moisture.

2. If you use any over the counter olive leaf product (Eden or Alive and Well)
and your HIV viral load does not drop, the product has an insufficient amount of
oleuropein in it to produce results. The standard dose is one tablet or capsule
4 times a day.

3. Oleuropein has a bitter taste. If a tablet, capsule or liquid extract loses
its bitterness, it means oleuropein content has declined and so has the products
effectiveness.

4. Homemade olive leaf extract should be used within two weeks after it is made.
In the 3rd week, it loses its bitterness, oleuropein content drops along with
its effectiveness as an anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent.

5. An effective dose of oleuropein increases body temperature 1/2 to 1 degrees F
within 1 hour after you take it. Besides increases in body temperature,
sometimes people have flu like symptoms and mild headaches due to a die-off
effect from killed-off fungal infections.

6. Olive leaf tincture has reduced swollen lymph nodes, reduced KS lesions and
herpes lesions as well as improved visual acuity. Less fatigue and more energy
are widely reported. Oleuropein is also listed in Merck's Manual as a treatment
for high blood pressure.

7. One person reported a 2/3rds reduction is psorasis lesions while using the
home made tincture. One person with CFS reported a reduction in HHV-6 titers
while using an olive leaf extract.

8. Cold pressed olive oil and green olives sold in grocery stores contain some
oleuropein, although this has not yet been quantified by lab analysis. Lye used
in the processing of Spanish olives destroys most of the oleuropein. According
to Wm Frederickson, Grecian (Greek) green olives have higher amounts of
oleuropein than the Spanish olives. In Greece, they use a brine soaking method
to flavor the olives without lye.

9. Raw green olives, direct from the tree (Species: Olea Europaea), product
sources unknown, are very bitter and have high concentrations of oleuropein and
olive oil. In poor countries, eating a handful a day of raw green olives may be
an effective low cost monotherapy for treating AIDS.

10. In theory, a two-part treatment for AIDS is to use Oleuropein to inactivate
HIV and Beta 1, 3 Glucan to inactivate the HHV-6.
