Hi All,

i dont have any i dea just droping by

Hi Manoncita,
Answering to yoyr question, yes you can buy in Portugal most of the blood pressure drugs without prescription.

By the way... one liter of red wine, 400grs olive tree leaves, let them in infusion for one week and drink one small glass each day... your blood pressure will stabilise without any drugs!

(Medical advise)

Thanks so much for troubling to answer me and an infusion of red wine and olive tree leaves sounds just what the doctor ordered! Will be in Portugal very soon so will make it as soon as I get there! Thanks.

Ask who you want, olive tree leaves and wine do have important enzimes that lead to blood pressure stabilization... believe it or not!

I do believe you. I researched on the net after you told me and I cant believe how wonderful the leaves  seem to be. Its strange that I didnt know that before. So in England we can only buy dried leaves or extract of leaves. What do I do in Portugal. Do I just pick them off the trees?

In Portugal you don't have to buy the leaves... olive trees are all over this country and you just have to pick them from the trees, wash and rinse and they are ready for use. If you like, instead of a red wine infusion you can made regular tea with the leaves, it works too.
There are lots of plants who can substitute regular drugs...

Do you know that corn beards tea is perfect and almost immediate solution for urinary tracts or infections?

Regards
Carlos

No I didnt know that corn beards tea is good for you too. I think I will make the olive tree leaves with the red wine it sounds good and I like the idea of that! You seem to know so much about it all are you a pharmacist or something? Any more information?!
Thanks
Manon

No, I'm not a pharmacist but I still have a 100years old grandmother who knows a lot about this stuff... and she is the living proof that it results. 100 years, healthy and fresh like a teenager!

Do you like garlic? The best thing you can give to your heart!

Hi Carlos,
Yes I love garlic.
Your grandmother sounds amazing. 100 is a wonderful age. You must have learnt many things from her.
I have been researching olive leaf extract in England and the pills. Its all so expensive. It seems much cheaper to live in Portugal and pick the leaves off the trees!
Where do you live in Portugal?
By for now
Manon

Hi Carlos,
Lovely and sunny here today! England can be good somethimes! Prices much more expensive though.
Yes its my first time in Portugal. I am really looking foward to it.
Do you happen to know how much taxis are? Will need to take a taxi ride of about 35 kms.
For the red wine and olive leaves, about how many olive leaves do I need? Did you say 400 gms? Dont know how many that would be?
Wishing you a good Sunday too. What do people in Portugal do on Sundays? Are shops open on Sundays? For example supermarkets?
Going out to the sun while it is here!
Bye for now
Manon

Hi Manon,
If, and only if you are lucky and get a honest taxi driver at the airport you can count with €35 to €40 for a 35km trip. This info has been given to me by a taxi driver I know.
Be free to contact me if you need my help/support on your stay in Portugal. For the momment I'm "between jobs" and glad to help you out if necessary. Don't worry about costs, I do it for free!



Regards
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Thats such a kind offer thanks so much. Think I am going to be quite near to you I will be somewhere near Sintra.
Thats exciting applying for a job with the FIA. Did you work in that world already or is it all new. I know something about FIA because my godson has been racing karts a lot in Europe and I have gone to see him. Actually he was racing today with Formula Renault Barc and he won! I am so proud of him. When do you hear if you get the job? Do you like Brussels?
You didnt answer me about how many olive leaves I need for my litre bottle wine!! I really need to know because I wont have anything to weigh leaves with there! 400gms sounds like a lot of leaves!
Of course I am in England and the weather has turned to rain now!
Did you have a good Sunday?
Bye for now
Manon
