I read about this in a magazine and decided to try it with my doctor's permission. I have chronic pain and multiple other medical issues and it has helped lower my cholesterol and control my chronic pain. The first couple of weeks on it, I felt terrible with a lot of pain and flu like symptoms because it was working to rid my body of the toxins in my body but then after that I feel great. I have been using it for 3-1/2 weeks and have more energy and my cholesterol levels have dropped and my chronic pain is much better. I was taking a lot of prescription pain pills to control my pain due to diabetic Neuropathy and inflammation from osteoarthritis, and after taking Olive Leaf Extract I don't need to take as much pain medicine and my inflammation that caused my joint pain is better. It has really helped improve my osteoarthritis pain. This is a product that I would recommend to anyone that just wants to feel better. This is an antioxidant that I feel really cleanses your body of all the harmful things that cause pain and inflammation and helps your body work better
