See how OLIVENOL contains Psoriasis…
Connie Wong is a severe Psoriasis sufferer who caught the nation’s attention when NTV7 made a documentary about her in 2008. She approached us a few months ago to join the OLIVENOL Psoriasis Blog Project. You may follow her blog HERE.
She stayed on recommended dosage and avoided all steroids for the past 12 weeks. The journey ahead is still long before she can be totally free from P (if at all possible).
Receiving photos like these, bring tears of joy to our eyes..
If you have psoriasis and struggling with it, connect with Connie on her blog and facebook. There is NO miracle! It works for about 68% of Psoriasis sufferers who take it for the long term – NOT EVERYONE. Find out what she is doing that you are not.
We received emails from people who have suffered for 22 years who are unhappy after 2 weeks of OLIVENOL. Such false and unrealistic anticipation does not lend itself to calming your immune system.
We are here to help and assist, only if you are prepared to be realistic and faithful in your journey to recovery.
My OLIVENOL Story – Khor Siew Nai
In conjunction with our 2nd Anniversary Celebration, we are inviting consumers to write in and share their stories on FACEBOOK. We will pick 20 winners out of the most popular stories. We receive this story from Khor Siew Nai:
SiewNai found Natural Healing for her Psoriasis
I suffer from Psoriasis since 1992. It just flared up after 3 days of high fever. Since then, i have to control the lesions with photoherapy and steroid cream. I even have to stop swimming because of the lesion. At first, i had to overcome the depression for not able to wear short sleeve clothings and not able to swim. I had to take some oral medication which was very unhealthy to my liver but I HAVE NO CHOICE. I even had scalded burnt from photothrapy treatment, blisters and skin tears. That really hurt so much and it was a phobia to me untill now.
In 2003, i was admitted to UH because of severe relapse due to viral infection. My whole body like balloon, skin angry looking and my both legs were swollen. I can’t sleep in flat position but only prone position. I had to receive intravenous antibiotics every 4 to 6 hours, that hurt!! My veins were traumatized due to the intravenous antibiotics. The funny part was every night, when the night nursing supervisor came to do her round, i could hear she ask the nurse “a, patient itu mati ke?”. I was in pain but i do smile too every night.
I hate and scare to have shower because when the water hit on my skin, i felt like some one is taking the sharp knife cutting my skin, torture me so much. I had Raptiva injection but when i stopped it, the rebound syndrome was bad. The lesions were not well controlled and did not reduce. 2009 November, i came to know about Olivenol from Nanyang news paper. I phoned the customer service to enquire about it.
I started taking OLIVENOL in December 2009. 4 months later, my lesions were reduced to 70%. The dermatologist did advise me to have TNF inhibitors injection but i said “NO THANKS DOC” because i have a better choice now. A choice which is NATURAL and that is what Olivenol is about. I even manage to share the Olivenol experiences with one of the doctor and he was amazed because is about Olive, the natural product. He got the website then. I also realize i did not experience swelling, hot flush feeling at my right knee ( i think must be psoriatic arthritis).
I guess i have made the right choice to go for NATURAL HEALING. To Connie Wong, i do understand your feeling and how much you have gone through emotionally. We just got to be brave to face it. Talk to the body, talk to the skin, focus on healing, change for a healthy living, healthy diet and together with natural healing (Olivenol), we can make it.
Happy Anniversary OLIVENOL !!

What happens when the body’s defence system turns against its own components?
(This article appeared in Star Health on January 17, 2010)
SUFFERERS of lupus, eczema, psoriasis, allergy dermatitis, psoriatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have different, yet related, conditions. This article will explain how diseases that are so different share a common thread.
In order to do this, you need to understand the origin of these diseases.
Each is a chronic disease that manifests as inflammation of a particular organ. Treatment of these diseases is typically focused on relieving the symptoms of the affected organs, e.g. skin and joints.
It may surprise some of you to learn that the symptoms of skin rash, skin plaques, skin lesion, inflamed joints, and frozen shoulders are actually related and have something in common.
Psoriasis is thought to be an autoimmune disorder.Each of the diseases listed occurs as a result of hypersensitivity of the human immune system to external substances (allergies, dermatitis, and eczema) or reaction to normal body tissues (psoriasis, lupus, and RA).
What is the immune system?

Living with Psoriasis: Tips for Family and Friends
