Do you know anyone with arthritis?
After having been launched in Malaysia for over two years, several thousand people are now benefiting from OLIVENOL™ livin’ for various kind of conditions such as skin disorders, autoimmune diseases, including joint problem like arthritis. Our post-marketing clinical experience in arthritis is encouraging as we have received a lot of positive feedback from our users.
Last year, we have launched a 3-month OLIVENOL™ livin’ Psoriasis Blog Project in the interest to build our knowledge on the effect of OLIVENOL™ livin’ on psoriasis. Due to overwhelming response, we launched the Phase II programme, and extended the duration to 12 months. (Go to http://olivenol-livin.blogspot.com/ for more details.)
We have decided to extend this programme to arthritis sufferers who are new to OLIVENOL™ livin’. We are pleased to announce the launch of “OLIVENOL Arthritis Blog Project”.
This is a public programme, using the internet as the tool of recording results and communicating experience to interest group. In order to participate in this programme, you will have to be a diagnosed patient with arthritis, and at the same time, active in blogging. One of the condition to take part in this programme is you must be willing to share a 90-day online journal publicly.
You may blog in English, Bahasa, 中文, or mix. In exchange, we will provide you supply for OLIVENOL livin’ at special rate.
The first of such blogger is Terry Gallyot, MR ASIA 99′. You may read about his experience with OLIVENOL™ livin’ for arthritis by visiting his blog at http://gallyot.blogspot.com/
We are interested to collect more feedback on the efficacy of OLIVENOL livin’ on arthritis to further enhance our post-marketing content. Your participation in this project will help us and other arthritis sufferers to determine the efficacy with more accuracy.
If you have arthritis or you know someone with the condition, please ask them to contact us by email at olivenol @ triniaire.com (or reply in the comment of this article).
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.
Could Hydroxytyrosol the Olive Polyphenol Reduce the Effects of Lupus?
Lupus erythematosus is a connective tissue disease. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Lupus occurs more frequently in women than men, though the reasons for this are unknown.
Lupus is categorised as an autoimmune disorder. Its symptoms, like in other autoimmune diseases, tend to flare up and recede.
Four types of lupus exist — systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, drug-induced lupus erythematosus and neonatal lupus. Of these, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common and serious form of lupus. With treatment, most people with lupus can lead active lives.
Lupus affects major organs of the human body.
Direct data linking hydroxytyrosol (HT) and lupus is still insufficient to allow definitive conclusions. However, based on the what is available in hand and clinical proven results from other related disease eg: RA, and psoriasis, we see strong potential benefits.
Lupus therapy has two goals:
- The first objective is to *reduce_the_symptoms* during the flares.
- Secondly, treatment is aimed at *extending_the_periods_of_remission* as long as possible.
1) REDUCE SYMPTOMS
- OLIVENOL’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce pain in affected arthritic joints and reduce plaques and lesions on skin of psoriasis sufferer.
- There is also anti-UV protection that is required since UV light can aggravate the lupus skin rash.
2) EXTEND REMISSION
The underlying cause of lupus is a antibody production leading to immune complex (IC) formation. However, the origin and trigger of this excessive production of antibody is an immune system that is “out of sync”. Recent studies have shown that immune system that sends out spurious messages can be re-modulated by dietary antioxidant.
Maintaining adequate antioxidant status may provide a useful approach in reducing cell injury and dysfunction observed in some autoimmune disorders. [De la Fuente M: Effects of antioxidants on immune system ageing. Eur J Clin Nutr 2002, 56(Suppl 3):5-8.]
Olive polyphenol HT, the active ingredient in OLIVENOL livin’ is the most potent natural anti-oxidant known to man. We believe it is HT’s effective remodulation of the immune system that give rise to the efficacy of the product.
SLE sufferers with symptoms similar to arthritis and psoriasis is likely to benefit from the same mechanism.

Fight Inflammation with OLIVENOL livin’ – Chiou Ying’s Story
Here’s an exciting experience with OLIVENOL livin’ shared by Chiou Ying on our Facebook page:
This is one of the thousands successful stories of OLIVENOL livin’ in reducing inflammation. Studies have proven the amazing anti-inflammatory effect of hydroxytyrosol, the active ingredient in OLIVENOL livin’.
Hydroxytyrosol reduces inflammation by inhibiting the expression of a series of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as iNOS, NKT, TNF-a, etc. Besides, in a randomized controlled trial, hydroxytyrosol relieved pain, reduced inflammation and improved physical function in OA and RA patients within the first 8 weeks.
Besides reducing inflammation in arthritis and dermatitis, Chiou Ying’s experience indicated efficacy of OLIVENOL livin’ in reducing other types of inflammation. We are looking forward to see more people benefiting from OLIVENOL livin’ in other therapeutic areas.
Olive Polyphenol Antioxidants
As science progresses, experimental data to support the role of antioxidants in maintaining health becomes even more compelling. It is now clear that the functional integrity of numerous tissue and body systems in humans and animals depend upon scavenging and eliminating excess free radicals. A large body of published scientific research confirms the tremendous antioxidant activity of olive polyphenols, especially Hydroxytyrosol (HT). In the context of a healthy diet and lifestyle, the potential benefits of olive polyphenols include:
Joint Health and Mobility
Numerous types of evidence, including epidemiological studies and clinical trials, demonstrate the importance of a healthy diet for maintenance of joint health. In particular, the Mediterranean diet is associated with maintenance of joint mobility, and the sustained vitality associated with ease of motion. Olive oil is one of several dietary factors associated with joint health. Controlled clinical trials gave demonstrated that olive oil can significantly contribute to joint mobility and quality of life. Animal studies strongly suggest that the polyphenols in olive oil, not the oil itself, are the essential components responsible for joint health.
Cardiovascular Health
The Mediterranean diet is associated with heart health. Laboratory studies suggest that some of the benefits of this diet on the structure and function of the cardiovascular system are due to polyphenol antioxidants, including Hydroxytyrosol. One such study looked at the need to minimize oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol to maintain healthy heart function. In the laboratory study Hydroxytyrosol was found to have a positive effect, indicating a potential cardiovascular protective benefit.
Skin Health
Skin needs antioxidants to remain healthy, especially during sun exposure. Compared to traditional antioxidants used by the cosmetic industry, such as tocopherols from vitamin E, olive polyphenols have much higher antioxidant activity. In one controlled animal study, OLIVENOL was demonstrated to maintain skin health in a normal healthy state, even after exposure to UV radiation.
Colon and Breast Wellness
Antioxidants can help to maintain proper cell cycling that is essential for health. In once recent controlled study, olive polyphenol Hydroxytyrosol was shown to have a potent effect on healthy cell cycling in colon and breast tissue.
Anti-Microbial
In one laboratory study, olive polyphenols inhibited or delayed the growth rate of bacteria such as salmonella and staphylococcus, as well as viruses such as influenza, indicating a potential application for maintaining food freshness.
Treating Psoriasis on Your Scalp
If you suffer from psoriasis, I’m sure you would completely agree with me when I say that psoriasis stinks! The red dry skin, itching, and flaking are not pleasant to deal with on a daily basis, especially if the psoriasis is in a visible part of your body like your scalp. Luckily, there are a few types of scalp psoriasis treatment available. There are also a few types of all natural scalp psoriasis treatment available. On this page, we will discuss some alternatives so you can choose a good scalp psoriasis treatment. First, though, it is important that you know exactly what psoriasis is and what causes it.
So what is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an unceasing skin condition in which patches of skin anywhere on your body become red, flaky, scaly, and itchy. Between 1% and 3% of people in the world suffer from psoriasis. The most common type of psoriasis is called chronic plaque psoriasis.
The normal skin cell life cycle is about 30 days, whereas in a person who has a psoriasis, the skin cell life cycle is only 3 to 6 days! This is because the T-cells (a type of white blood cell, integral part of the immune system) attack the skin cells, causing them to develop at a much faster rate. This excess skin has nowhere to go but to the surface, resulting in the scaly rash-like appearance on the skin.
So what is a good scalp psoriasis treatment?
Gels, lotions, and other solutions are good to use a scalp psoriasis treatment, since they are easier to apply to affected areas than ointments and creams. Ointments and creams tend to leave an oily appearance to and are harder to wash out of the hair too, so try to stay away from them.
Doctors will often prescribe a steroid based gel as a scalp psoriasis treatment. These work well; however, the effect of steroids on the skin tends to wear off through excessive use, so you should stay away from steroids as well.
Doctors may also prescribe some sort of pills or injections as a scalp psoriasis treatment, but if you have ever tried these, you would know that they are not cheap, they do not work 100% of the time, and they often have negative side-effects. But give them a try, as they may work for you.
Treating your scalp psoriasis with hydroxytyrosol – an olive polyphenol.
Recent discovery suggested that there is another way to treat scalp psoriasis. It does not involve the use of any gel, ointment or cream on the scalp. Instead, it address the problem from your internal system. By sticking to a regular supplementation of hydroxytyrosol – a natural polyphenol from olive – dramatic improvements can be seen. See picture below:

By reading this article, you should now have a good understanding of what scalp psoriasis is and how you can treat it with conventional therapy. You are also introduced to the effective results a new alternative treatment with hydroxytyrosol found in OLIVENOL livin’.
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?
