We did notice an increase in symptoms when we started OLE for 10 days. Our son is currently diagnosed with Lyme (so, most likely herxing). Olive leaf extract acts as a antibiotic, anti viral, anti fungal. He currently takes 1,800 m.g. per day plus combo'd antibiotics.

 

Hope that helps.

But what happens after 10 days?

I have also read on a few websites that OLE makes some antibiotics less effective....I could never find more info on that.

He went back to prior baseline after 10 days and eventually started to see improvement.

 

We just added to another antibiotic to regimen, still taking OLE and have seen a 'huge' improvement in baseline while other and new symptoms have cropped up. i.e. frequent urination (new), talkative periods with dilated pupils (revisiting this symptom), increased comments of not feeling well/joint pain (ongoing since treating for Lyme). Its been 18 days but we do anticipate for things to settle down again and for him to continue with recent improvements.

We have used OLE off & on for years and in the beginning we used to see an initial increase in tic in my ds. I found that by backing down the dose & increasing more gradually his body handled it much better, but I imagine it would depend on the person's individual sensitivity.
