On March 11 a new documentary was aired on French television. It is a documentary most Americans will never see, explaining how the gigantic biotech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years.

For millennia, farmers have saved seeds from season to season. But when Monsanto developed GM seeds that would resist its own herbicide, Roundup, Monsanto patented the seeds. For nearly all of its history the United States Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant patents on seeds, viewing them as life-forms with too many variables to be patented. But in 1980 the U.S. Supreme Court allowed for seed patents in a five-to-four decision, laying the groundwork for a handful of corporations to begin taking control of the world’s food supply.

Since the 1980s, Monsanto has become the world leader in genetic modification of seeds and has won 674 biotechnology patents, more than any other company. Farmers who buy Monsanto’s Roundup Ready seeds are required to sign an agreement promising not to save the seed produced after each harvest for re-planting, or to sell the seed to other farmers. This means that farmers must buy new seed every year.

Monsanto puts pressure on farmers, farmers’ co-ops, seed dealers, and anyone else it suspects may have infringed its patents of genetically modified seeds. To do this, Monsanto relies on a shadowy army of private investigators and agents. They secretly videotape and photograph farmers, store owners, and co-ops. They infiltrate community meetings. They gather information from informants about farming activities.

Some Monsanto agents pretend to be surveyors. Others confront farmers on their land and try to pressure them to sign papers giving Monsanto access to their private records. Farmers call them the “seed police” and use words such as “Gestapo” and “Mafia” to describe their tactics.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Monsanto, which was a plain old chemical business before it rechristened itself a "life sciences" company, and started using bioengineering to develop genetically altered crops, is one of the biggest threats to both mankind and the earth today. They have both the capability and the ruthless drive to, more or less single-handedly, destroy the world’s natural biodiversity and food supply for their own profit. Complicating the picture further, Monsanto is also deeply entrenched with the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacia Corporation was created in April 2000 through the merger of Pharmacia & Upjohn with Monsanto Company and its G.D. Searle unit. Few people ever make the connection between GMO crops and the sale of drugs. I believe the GMO crop issue is one of the most significant challenges to your future health. And, the drug industry is one of the primary driving forces for the traditional paradigm, which focuses on the treating symptoms with expensive band-aids, so you get sicker and sicker and require more of their self-serving expensive drug solutions to relieve your symptoms. Put these two health disasters together – where one is feeding the profits of the other -- and the picture becomes bleak indeed. Folks, it’s time to just say no to this madness and abrogation of ethics. Let your elected officials know how you feel about it; ask your local supermarket to stock their shelves with more natural organic foods; vote with your pocketbook – avoid everything that contains GMO products. That means abstaining from virtually all processed food products and sticking to fresh, locally grown, organic food stuffs, and going back to basic food preparation in your own home. Cooking from scratch, with wholesome ingredients based on your nutritional type, is one of the absolute best things you can do for your long-term health. Is New Terrifying Disease the Cause of Genetically Modified Foods? Have you ever heard of “Morgellon’s Disease?” As of February 2007, more than 10,000 reports of the mysterious disease have been reported on the Morgellon Foundation's website. That’s up from 2,000 reports in February of 2006. Reports come from 15 nations across the world, including Canada, the UK, Australia and The Netherlands, as well as all 50 U.S. states. The majority of reports have come from Texas, California and Florida. People with Morgellon’s disease describe it as a feeling of bugs or parasites scuttling around beneath their skin, accompanied by open lesions that heal slowly and ooze out blue, black or white fibers that can be several millimeters long. These fibers appear like pliable plastic. They can be as fine as spider silk, yet they are strong enough to distend the skin when pulled and elicit shooting pains when you try to remove them. The CDC, unusually slow to respond to what can only be described as a new outbreak, has finally set up a web page about the phenomenon, which they refer to as “Unexplained Dermopathy.” In August 2007 -- a year after vowing to look into the terrifying disorder -- they gave $300,000 to Kaiser Permanente to investigate the disease. The CDC’s website lists additional symptoms, including fatigue, mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, changes in vision, and social dysfunction, including suicide. According to an article in Natural News, published last week, Morgellon’s disease may be linked to genetically modified food. While the CDC dragged its feet, a research team from Oklahoma State University lead by Dr. Randy Wymore, studied some of the fibers sent to them by Morgellons patients. They found that the fibers from different people look remarkably similar to each other, yet do not match any common environmental fibers. Vitaly Citovsky, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, discovered that the fibers contain the substance Agrobacterium, a genus of gram-negative bacteria capable of genetically transforming not only plants, but also other eukaryotic species, including human cells.  Are we now teetering on the brink of the GM food disaster we feared from the very beginning? Information is Power, so Power Up! If you aren't convinced this is an important issue for you, your children, and your grandchildren, then do yourself a favor and find some free time to review the evidence, starting with the related articles listed at the end. You can also search my site by entering “Monsanto” into the search box. I have over 300 pages on this topic alone! To further guide you in understanding the problems associated with GM foods, I strongly recommend reading the incredible series Seeds of Doubt, written by staffers at the Sacramento Bee. And, last but not least, I urge everyone to watch the video The Future of Food. Forward the link to this video widely among your friends, family and acquaintances. This in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind genetically modified foods is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. It will help you understand how and why the genetic engineering we allow to be unleashed today is a very real threat to ALL future generations. How to Avoid GM Foods Many of you probably don't understand just how ubiquitous GM foods are in the food chain. The fact is that genetically modified foods are so prevalent in the United States that if you randomly pick an item off your grocery store's shelves, you have a 75 percent chance of picking a food with GM ingredients. This is because at least seven out of every 10 items have been genetically modified. The True Food Shopping Guide is a great tool for helping you determine which brands and products contain GMO ingredients. It lists 20 different food categories that include everything from baby food to chocolate. Here are four simple steps to decrease your consumption of GM foods as much as possible: Reduce or eliminate processed foods in your diet. The fact that 75 percent of processed foods contain GM ingredients is only one of the many reasons to stick to a whole foods diet. Read produce and food labels. Conventionally raised soybeans and corn make up the largest portion of genetically modified crops. Ingredients made from these foods include high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), corn flour and meal, dextrin, starch, soy sauce, margarine, and tofu. Buy organic produce. By definition, food that is certified organic must be free from all GM organisms, produced without artificial pesticides and fertilizers and from an animal reared without the routine use of antibiotics, growth promoters or other drugs. Additionally, grass-fed beef will not have been fed GM corn feed. Look at produce stickers. The PLU code on stickers for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers, organically grown fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number nine, and GM fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number eight.

Alert: Health supplements to be banned in Canada?

Canada's C-51 Law May Outlaw 60% of Natural Health Products; Big Pharma Pushing to Criminalize Supplements

See also: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org

(NaturalNews) A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 60 percent of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children. The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the Canadian Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes sweeping changes to Canada's Food and Drugs Act that could have devastating consequences on the health products industry.

Among the changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to key terminology, including replacing the word "drug" with "therapeutic product" throughout the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all herbs, vitamins, supplements and other items. With this single language change, anything that is "therapeutic" automatically falls under the Food and Drug Act. This would include bottled water, blueberries, dandelion greens and essentially all plant-derived substances.

The Act also changes the definition of the word "sell" to include anyone who gives such therapeutic products to someone else. So a mother giving an herb to her child, under the proposed new language, could be arrested for engaging in the sale of unregulated, unapproved "therapeutic substances." Learn about more of these freedom-squashing changes to the law at the Stop51.com website: http://www.stopc51.com

New enforcement powers allow Canadian government to seize your home or business

At the same time that C-51 is outlawing herbs, supplements and vitamins, it would grant alarming new "enforcement" powers to the thugs enforcement agents who claim to be "protecting" the public from dangerous unapproved "therapeutic agents" like, say, dandelion greens. As explained on the www.Educate-Yourself.org website ((http://educate-yourself.org/cn/canadian...), the C-51 law would allow the Canadian government's thugs enforcement agents to:

• Raid your home or business without a warrant
• Seize your bank accounts
• Levy fines up to $5 million and a jail terms up to 2 years for merely selling an herb
• Confiscate your property, then charge you storage fees for the expense involved in storing all the products they stole from you

C-51 would even criminalize the simple drying of herbs in your kitchen to be used in an herbal product, by the way. That would now be categorized as a "controlled activity," and anyone caught engaging in such "controlled activities" would be arrested, fined and potentially jailed. Other "controlled activities" include labeling bottles, harvesting plants on a farm, collecting herbs from your back yard, or even testing herbal products on yourself! (Yes, virtually every activity involving herbs or supplements would be criminalized...)

There's more, too. C-51 is the Canadian government's "final solution" for the health products industry. It's a desperate effort to destroy this industry that's threatening the profits and viability of conventional medicine. Natural medicine works so well -- and is becoming so widely used -- that both the Canadian and American governments have decided to "nuke" the industries by passing new laws that effectively criminalize anyone selling such products. They simply cannot tolerate allowing consumers to have continued access to natural products. To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these criminally-operated governments are trying to protect.

Join the rally to protest C-51

On May 9th, 2008, Canadian citizens will be gathering at the Calgary Federal Court to protest C-51 and help protect their access to natural health products. Call 1-888-878-3467 to learn more, or visit the action page of Health Canada Exposed at: http://www.stopc51.com/c51/what_you_can_do.asp

NaturalNews is looking to hire someone with a good video camera to film the event. We'll gladly pay you to video tape this and send us the resulting file, which we will edit and then post for NaturalNews readers. If you have a video camera (with good audio, hopefully) and can attend the May 9th rally, please contact us at (U.S.) 520-232-9300 for details. If you do film there, be sure to use the camera buddy system, where you have somebody in the distance filming YOU with the camera, so that if Canadian law enforcement thugs decide to assault you and steal your video camera in order to censor the event, then somebody else in the distance has THAT on video! You got that? So there are two cameras working, camera A is filming the rally, and it's very close to the action. Camera B is set back farther from the scene, and it's filming the person holding camera A. This is standard operating practice for filming such events, and it makes it very difficult for government thugs to shut down the video. Often, the person filming with camera B is in a car somewhere, or filming covertly so that they don't attract attention. Zoom lenses help a lot.

In any case, if you manage to get some video of this event, then we'd be thrilled to share it with NaturalNews readers. And like I said, we'll pay for footage, so call us for details. Together, we can help spread the word about this important rally for health freedom in Canada.

Olive trees have a history as old as civilization... Olive-leaf fossils have been discovered in Pliocene-period deposits in Italy... An olive seed found in Spain has been carbon-dated at 8,000 years of age... The Olive leaf is the portion of this plant valued for its medicinal value... Olive leaf is a diet staple in many Mediterranean cultures that enjoy a low incidence of viruses, cancers and heart conditions... Many people's diets are completely absent of olive leaf creating an environment for viruses, bad bacteria's, yeasts, tumors and heart conditions to take hold... Fighting these invaders takes energy leaving the host (you) tired and susceptible to other pathogens... Olive leaf stuns invaders and unleashes the immune system to create a balanced body... When used preventatively many conditions never take hold or symptoms are reduced and shortened...

In Greek mythology Zeus decided to award the Attica region to the deity who could devise the most useful invention... Poseidon submitted the horse... Athena offered the tiny olive... The horse could haul, carry and even be used as an instrument of war... The olive provided food, fuel and medicine and was a symbol of peace... The horse had to be fed and cared for and then lived but a few decades... The olive thrived in poor soil, with little water and bore fruit for more than a century... Athena won the contest hands down... The Egyptians believed that the goddess Isis taught humans how to cultivate olives, used it for a variety of conditions, including infections, fever and pain...

The Olive Leaf has the distinction of being one of the few medicinal plants mentioned in the Bible... Studies show that Olive Leaf extract is a potent antimicrobial that has inhibited the growth of every human pathogen it has been tested against, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi and yeast...

"And the dove came in to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off... So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth..." (Genesis 8:11)

In later biblical times (Ezekiel 47:12), God speaks of a tree: "The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine..."

In Revelations, at the very end of the New Testament, there is an angelic vision of a "tree of life" whose leaves "were for the healing of the nations..."

Olives are mentioned frequently in the Old Testament...

The 12 Antioxidants in olive leaf scavenge free-radicals eliminating them before cell damage is done... Olive Leaf does not cure diseases, it is however a cold blooded killer of most pathogens... Once the pathogens have been stunned or killed off, the immune system can rebuild itself and cure the disease or get rid of the symptoms...

Olive leaf acts like an antibiotic by fighting the "bad" microbes we are exposed to, but it is NOT an antibiotic ,............ Far from it! Unlike antibiotics olive leaf "stuns" invaders long enough for the immune system to balance the bodies' "bouquet"... Antibiotics kill invaders but don't strengthen the immune system... The benefits of olive leaves can be found in olive leaf extract and naturally with the powder and herb tea...

Olivus is the only company in the United States dedicated to orchard-direct delivery of quality olive leaf and olive leaf extracts... Our focus allows us to provide a wide range of products, superior quality, freshness and value... Everyone at Olivus, our family and friends are all walking testimonials to the power of the olive leaf and the anti-aging benefits of including it in your diet... Company founders discovered olive leaf tea on trips to Europe and through recommendations of California olive farmers... After several years of experimenting with olive leaf to combat respiratory and other viral conditions, then reading the 1997 book on olive leaf by Dr... Walker, Olivus was founded in 1998... We package and ship the same olive leaf we have been taking ourselves since the early 1990's... Our orchards are located in sunny Northern California where Mission and Manzanillo olive trees flourish...

Flu and Colds
Olive leaf is known as a Bug-Buster and has gathered much attention for it's cold & flu prevention/treatment... Natural antibiotics like olive leaf contain anti-fungal and anti-viral properties which may be the most effective means of combating many of today's new strains of colds and flus... Olive leaf works for you to prevent subsequent viral or bacterial infection(s)... Olive leaf is a powerful weapon against the common cold and flu,including many strains of influenza and para-influenza viruses... Olive leaf interacts with the protein in cold and flu virus particles to halt infection, according to a recent report published in Alternative Medicine Review... Olive Leaf is used to boost energy levels... People with low energy levels who are prone to colds and viruses may benefit from taking Olive Leaf as a nutritional supplement... Olive leaf is safe to take in conjunction with a flu shot (However, we do NOT advise taking vaccinatioins of any kind!) and can be used by people of all ages...

Many physicians, who believe that a flu virus tends to run its course in a short
period of time, are often hesitant about prescribing anti viral medications or antibiotics since the more serious super bugs are becoming increasingly resistant to prescription medications, and the possibility of developing immunities to them is becoming more prevalent... Olive leaf acts as a preventative measure and acts to shorten the duration of colds and the flu...

Olive Leaf is used to boost energy levels... People with low energy levels who are prone to colds and viruses may benefit from taking Olive Leaf as a nutritional supplement... As with all herbs for prevention consistency is best... Try to catch a cold/flu in its beginning stages for next best effect... Olive leaf is also shown to shorten the duration of a cold or flu...

Natural antibiotics, which contain anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, may be the most effective means of combating many of today's new strains of colds and flus, as well as the prevention of subsequent viral or bacterial infection(s)... Results to date indicate that olive leaf extract may be a good weapon against the common cold and flu,including many strains of influenza and para-influenza viruses...

Viruses
The main constituent of olive leaf is the phytochemical oleuropein, which is broken down to elenolic acid, has a powerful anti-bacterial effect, and the ability to interfere with critical amino acid production essential for viruses... Oleuropein is a bitter monoterpene glycoside of the class known as secoiridoids and is also one of the major components found in the polyphenolic portion of olive oil... Research suggests that olive leaf may be a true anti-viral compound because it appears to selectively block an entire virus-specific system in the infected host... It then appears to offer healing effects not addressed by pharmaceutical antibiotics... Olive leaf's broad wide-spectrum killing power includes an ability to interfere with critical amino acid production for viruses; an ability to contain viral infection and/or spread by inactivating viruses by preventing virus shredding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane; and the ability to directly penetrate infected cells and stop viral replication...

Healthy Heart - Lower Cholesterol & Blood Pressure
Studies have consistently demonstrated that the Mediterranean diet of which olive leaf is a large part is correlated with a lower than average risk of coronary heart disease... Heart diseases seem to respond well to the introduction of olive leaf tea and extracts... According to laboratory and clinical studies, olive leaf alleviates numerous disorders related to insufficient arterial blood flow, including angina pectoris and intermittent claudication... It helps eliminate arterial fibrillation (arrhythmia), lowers high blood pressure, and inhibits LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, it relaxes the blood vessels and prevents buildup of plaque in them, all of which lower blood pressure...

Olive leaf contains a complex structure of substances which act as vasodilators, lowering blood pressure... The hypotensive action of olive leaf has been studied for two decades: Researchers noted a statistically significant decrease of blood pressure for all patients, without side effects...

Like the polyphenolic component of red wine, resveratrol, oleuropein imparts some important antioxidant benefits that may help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and support healthy heart function... The oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the so-called "bad" cholesterol can severely damage the walls of arteries and lead to arteriosclerosis or “hardening of the arteries” ... Along with resveratrol, oleuropein is high on the list of beneficial components of the acclaimed Mediterranean Diet (which includes olive oil), believed to be responsible for the reduced incidence of heart disease in those who habitually partake in the Diet...

Olive leaf reduces Hypertension
Research has shown that oleuropein had anti-arrhythmic and vasodilating effects in addition to hypotensive activity... The body metabolizes oleuropein to calcium elenolate, which appears to be responsible for many of the pharmacological effects of olive leaf...

Chronic Fatigue
reported a radical improvement when taking olive leaf internally and report more energy and a better sense of wellbeing...In the U...S...A... the use of olive leaf extract has become very popular with doctors, naturopaths and the general public where it is being prescribed for the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)... CFS is associated with immune dysfunction, which allows infections with a variety of opportunistic microbes from herpes-viruses, retro viruses, fungi and parasites...

Herpes
Did you know that as many as 90% of us have been exposed to this viral infection? And most people who have it show no symptoms! Most of the research on olive leaf's anti-viral properties has come from studies on viruses of which herpes is a common one... In 1969 the research of Dr... Renis working with the Upjohn company, proved that a compound of oleuropein from the olive leaf could kill all viruses, including the herpes (both oral and genital), against which it was tested... After the active components were isolated in 1969, an upsurge of research has resulted in continuing discoveries... In 1992 French biologists found that all of the herpes viruses were inhibited or killed by extracts from olive leaf...

Shingles
If you've had chickenpox, you're at risk for this potentially serious disease... Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus can live, but remain inactive, in your body... If it becomes active again, usually later in life, it can cause Shingles... When the immune system is working properly you do not have to suffer very long... Olive leaf builds your immune system naturally... Enhancing the immune system with good diet, exercise, olive leaf and a healthy lifestyle can help prevent shingles outbreaks...

You can end the shingles symptoms including pain, rashes, itching, inflammation, redness and blisters and return to normal with herbal and pharmaceutical treatments... Olive leaf capsules, tea and extracts fight the shingles virus from the inside... Skin cream and bar soap with olive leaf extract can be applied wherever shingles is a problem...

Diabetes & Hypoglycemia
Researchers have found that the natural olive leaf compounds can lower the level of blood sugar... There are several cases in my clinic confirming this finding... One involved a 15-year-old girl with juvenile diabetes... The teenager had been regularly taking 350 units of insulin daily for control... After one month on olive leaf extract, she was able to maintain similar control with just 220 units... In another case, the blood sugar level of a diabetic elderly priest dropped from 450 to 160 after three months of olive leaf treatment... In yet another instance, the blood sugar of a middle aged man stabilized at 140, down from 250, after one month... He reported a great increase in energy during this time... Olive leaf extracts have been shown in laboratory studies to lower blood sugars, but their use in treating diabetes in humans is not well documented...

Rheumatoid Arthritis
A number of patients have experienced significant easing of joint pain... After taking olive leaf for three weeks customers notice more flexibility in their fingers, elbows, and neck... There was also marked relief of muscle tension surrounding the joints...

Yeast Infections, Candida
Candida is a yeast that can be found in nearly every one... However, when someone is referring to "Candida" they are probably meaning Candidiasis, which is an over growth of Candida... Olive leaf is shown to improve candida infections and the resultant discharge, psoriasis, PMS, weight problems, headaches and other symptoms that coincide with yeast infections... Olive Leaf is an effective killer of harmful bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi... As these die off in your gut, the areas they occupied on the linings will be exposed... It is helpful to start the process of rebuilding the gut lining within days of taking Olive leaf (with organic foods)... This will not only assist your digestion, and in so doing, ensure more nutrients are absorbed into your bloodstream for rebuilding damaged cells and organs elsewhere in the body, it will discourage new microbes from colonizing your system again... The rebuilding process can take up to three months...
Note: the Olivus Elixir extract has a small amount of organic honey for flavoring, it is known to avoid sugar when fighting yeast and candida...

Fungal Infections
More than 10 million Americans are said to have disfiguring fungal nail infections, a widely ignored medical problem... It is frequently found among patients with AIDS, cancer and diabetes, athletes, elderly individuals, people who spend considerable time standing or who wear the same shoes day after day, or who wear artificial fingernails... Drugs taken for many other conditions lower resistance and are believed to make people more susceptible to infection... Olive leaf has been shown to fight these fungis... Kill Toe Nail Fungus by making a poultice with olive leaf powder or applying liquid extract tincture directly to the affected area...

Toenail fungus is a common, contagious condition that strikes many people... Typically it occurs when the immune system is down and once contracted is difficult to eliminate from the system... Also referred to as onychomycosis, this widespread condition accounts for a large proportion of nail disorders and can become quite unsightly and painful... Beginning as discoloration or a light colored spot under the tip of the toenail, this fungus will continue to spread until the entire nail becomes thick and yellow with rough and crumbling edges... Fortunately, toenail fungus does not have to be accepted as a distasteful part of life... Utilizing the natural healing potential of olive leaf is a safe and natural way to get rid of this unsightly and difficult ailment...

Allergies
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology reports that Allergic disorders affect at least 50 million people in the US... Type 1 Allergies and symptoms include Asthma, Eczema, Hay Fever, Headaches, swellings, fatigue, chills, sensitivity to light and Loss of Appetite... Type 2 Allergies could start in infancy or during childhood due to inherited tendencies and exposure to Pollen, Dust and Environmental Toxins, including all the chemicals we breathe and eat... It all starts with your Immune System not handling whatever comes along! The botanical Olea Europaea (olive leaf) tea, extracts and capsules are immune system boosters know to help control and eliminate various allergies...

Skin & Topical uses
Olive leaf extracts are rich in antioxidants and skin softening properties... A total luxury for dry skin! Olive leaf helps skin with the presence of flavonoids and oleanolic acid, which stimulate the components of the connective tissue and regularize the tissue - thereby boosting the health of the skin...The secoiridoid derivatives (oleuropeoside) in olive leaves are responsible for the vaso-dilating and relaxing properties of their extracts... Olive leaf can be applied as a cream or in a soap... Olive leaf fights skin blemishes and acne by mimicking the effectiveness of cortisone without the side effects...

Anti-aging effects of olive leaf extract are becoming common among skin care products from Johnson & Johnson, Biotherm, Proactive and others... The Olivus bar soap and Silken Skin cream are great ways to keep skin clean & healthy on a cellular level... Plus olive leaf extract is proven to control acne and other skin blemishes...

Warts are pesky skin problems that can cause embarrassment because they are unsightly and can grow in virtually any part of your body... Most common warts show up on your knees, hands, feet, and elbows... However, there are also some types that establish a colony on your mouth, nail beds and even the genital area... Since warts are caused by viruses, particularly the human papiloma virus, olive leaf is an effective tool...

Warts are pesky skin problems that can cause embarrassment because they are unsightly and can grow in virtually any part of your body... Most common warts show up on your knees, hands, feet, and elbows... However, there are also some types that establish a colony on your mouth, nail beds and even the genital area...

Since warts are caused by viruses, particularly the human papilomavirus, they sometimes disappear on their own... According to statistics, warts in children usually disappear within six months to two years, even without any treatment... However, warts in adults are more persistent, lasting for several years...

These itchy or somewhat painful skin growths usually spread through direct contact... A person with warts can infect other people or even other parts of his or her body... You see, viral particles from warts can germinate in the skin for about a year before eventually appearing...

There are actually many ways to get rid of warts... You can opt to freeze it, undergo electrosurgery or put chemicals to help remove these skin growths... However, most of these types of treatment can be painful... If you don't want to experience pain while getting rid of warts, you can choose to use natural anti-wart remedies...

Try olive leaf extract capsules and liquid extract tincture applied directly to the skin to help put an end to your war against warts... Olive leaf soap and skin cream are also effective tools to fight skin blemishes, acne and warts...

Multiple Symptoms
