Summary
Lynx 55006 had an overgrowth that was hard to shift. Olive leaf extract helped greatly: after passing 'very rotten stuff' in a bowel movement they felt their body repairing itself and called it a clear turning point in their recovery. They grew tired beforehand and took NAC to feel less tired, then became more sensitive to the extract and reduced the dose.
