Olive
Olive Leaf, highly regarded in ancient times, is proving itself to be very effective today in supporting the body's natural defense systems. Extensive animal studies have clearly demonstrated the antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral properties of this Mediterranean herb. Olive leaf seems perticularly well-suited to those with heart-related disorders and cardiovascular abnormalities. If the proven anti-arrhythmic and hypotensive properties, in animals, can achieve similar results in humans, then olive leaf will undoubtedly garner significant worldwide attention.
Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for at least 20 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for at least 20 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].

Captive in the Congo: A Consul's Return to the Heart of Darkness
Publisher's Notes Introduction by Ambassador Monteagle Stearns. Taken hostage by Congolese rebels at the U.S. Consulate he headed in Stanleyville, Michael Hoyt provides the first inside account of the 1964 seizure of the American consulate staff and their one hundred and eleven days of captivity. Their survival and eventual rescue offer a gripping story of courage and frustration, survival and sadness of lives lost. The first time that American diplomats have been held hostage since the Barbary pirate days of the 1800s, these events, as described by the author, present valuable lessons both for the future conduct of hostages and the policies to deal with their taking.
The book chronicles their day-by-day ordeal as communist-backed rebels held them in confinement at the central prison in Stanleyville and elsewhere, including even the women's toilet at the airport terminal. Throughout the period they lived in terror, several times being led to what they believed was their execution and somehow surviving a final desperate attempt by the rebels to gun them down when Belgian paratroopers, flown in by American C-130s, arrived to rescue them. While helping readers appreciate the intensity of the drama as it unfolded, Hoyt is remarkably objective in his account. His description of the final moments of sheer terror before they were saved is unforgettable. Presented in cooperation with the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training.
About the Author: Michael Hoyt spent twenty-five years as a U.S. Foreign Service officer, heading four posts and serving as human rights counselor to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva. Now a consultant, he lives and writes in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
