Olive leaf an MRSA antidote?

Link: $$

     The article, "Skin infections caused by drug-resistant staph germs on rise" (BDN, Aug. 17), caught my attention because I have information helpful to this problem. The Upjohn Co. conducted laboratory tests of crystallized calcium elenolate that is present in the oleurupein of olive leaves and it proved effective against MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus. This hydrolysized compound (calcium elenolate) is powdered and encapsulated as a food supplement. The pressure has been taken off pharmaceutical industry researchers who are no longer coming up with new drugs to intervene in the antibiotic-resistance cycle. The American medical consumers have olive leaf extract. Elmer Morin Limestone
