what has worked for you

If she has a herpes infection olive leaf extract may work. It takes at least 6 months to be effective from what I have read and in my experience. Most people seem to stop taking it as soon as it makes them more sick, which is part of the healing process. It took 6 full months of cycling through all my symptoms, and then one day I woke up feeling good. I plan on taking a maintenance dose for the rest of my life to prevent recurrence.

JAM, Olive leaf extract also strengths the gut flora:

It is proposed that the polyphenol compounds in olive leaf extracts were responsible for the stimulation of probiotic bacteria growth and metabolism and that olive leaf extracts ingested in human diet might have the same effect on desirable components of the intestinal microflora

and is antimicrobiell:

In conclusion, olive leaf extract was not broad-spectrum in action, showing appreciable activity only against H. pylori, C. jejuni, S. aureus and MRSA. Given this specific activity, olive leaf extract may have a role in regulating the composition of the gastric flora by selectively reducing levels of H. pylori and C. jejuni.

Once again, sorry about the posts, I read with little difficulty, so...If you dont ,mind me asking, how much do your walks tend to tire you out overall? Or have you built up some endurance?

It's difficult to say as all activity tires me, so it all adds up.

Fortunately, when I've been well enough to leave the house I've been well enough to walk for up to 30 mins. I think stubbornness has played its part. The ability to walk has been so important to me that I have made my legs walk even if they ache - and they have ached!

As my health has improved I've been able to do a bit more of everything which includes walking. However, I never walk for the pleasure of it, it is only ever to get somewhere.

If you are looking for which supplements might be helpful, you might like to look at the supplement poll (stickied at the top of this forum). If you sort by "good votes" the ones most people find most helpful will be at the top:
