Eczema – Soothing A Mother’s Heartbreak
(An abridged version of this article appeared in the Star Special, Parenting, pg 10 on July 23, 2009 under the title “Combating Eczema Naturally with Olive Juice”)
We received this letter from Michelle, sharing a very personal story…
“My four year old son has very serious eczema around his neck area. I first noticed it when he was about six months old. Initially, I discounted it as just “one of those things” (like nappy rash) that all babies would have. He grew out of his nappy rash by the time we celebrated his first birthday.
At about the same time, the rashes on his neck became more serious. I applied prescription steroid cream on him to stop it from spreading and to lessen the itchiness. This was a repeated cycle for the last three years. After each round of relief, it is followed by another episode of more nasty flare. At one point, almost 80% of the visible neck area of my son had wet, itchy and painful flaring rash.
The most heartbreaking thing I had to endure was my husband’s decision to tie up my boy’s hands at night to stop him from scratching himself. There is no word to describe the agony of this helpless mother and powerless wife.
I am glad those days are now over. A family friend who happened to be a doctor recommended us to try OLIVENOL, an organic olive juice extract. I am grateful he did.
The improvements were visible after the first week. His rashes became less red and were no longer oozing wet. After two months, there were still some eczema patch on his neck but he is no longer troubled by the itch. When the scratching stopped, the healing process accelerated.
I am glad we found a solution that worked for my son. Thank you.”
Michelle, 30, Kulai.
Michelle’s story although often untold, is an experience that is not unique. If you ask any parent group with young children, the majority of them will tell you their children suffer from ezcema, “skin allergy” or some symptoms of dermatitis. Continue reading Eczema – Soothing A Mother’s Heartbreak
Do you know anyone with severe psoriasis?
Since we launched OLIVENOL livin’ in Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC), Kuala Lumpur back in April 2008, we have found many Malaysians getting effective results on a range of autoimmune conditions. Our data on psoriasis is encouraging with many users writing back to convey their positive results. At the same time, we have some who did not see any results.
If you Google “olivenol + psoriasis”, you will find these results in the public domain. (click HERE)

There is an ongoing trial in a major private hospital in KL – testing the effectiveness of OLIVENOL livin on psoriatic patients with affected body area in excess of 5%. The results will be published by the investigator later this year.

The Heartbreak of Psoriasis – Does Nature Have An Answer?
The Heartbreak of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is probably one of the longest known illnesses of humans and simultaneously one of the most misunderstood. It is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune disease which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production.
Psoriasis is a lifelong condition. There is currently no cure but various treatments can help to control the symptoms. Many of the most effective agents used to treat severe psoriasis carry an increased risk of significant morbidity including skin cancers, lymphoma and liver disease.
However, the majority of people’s experience of psoriasis is that of minor localized patches, particularly on the elbows and knees, which can be treated with topical medication. Psoriasis can get worse over time but it is not possible to predict who will go on to develop extensive psoriasis or those in whom the disease may appear to vanish. Individuals will often experience flares and remissions throughout their lives. Controlling the signs and symptoms typically requires lifelong therapy.
The cause of psoriasis is not fully understood. There are two main hypotheses. The first considers psoriasis as primarily a disorder of excessive growth and reproduction of skin cells. The problem is simply seen as a fault of the epidermis and its keratinocytes (skin stem cells).

The Agony of Arthritis – Stopping Chronic Pain at Its Roots
In our continuing series of The Agony of Arthritis – My Untold Stories, we hear story number 4 from Ms Chris Ng, who shared with us the experience of her mother who had suffered chronic pain on her fingers for more than 10 years.
My mother Julie ( 73 years old) was in her early 60s when she started having pain in her fingers. It started with a nagging pain occasionally, but after a while, the pain became quite persistent and constant. The joints on her fingers started to swell, and she had difficulty bending them. She was only in the 60s then, but yet her movement were hampered by the pain and discomfort of this disability severely impacted her quality of life. She became disheartened. When she had the pain, even simple things like buttoning, cooking and opening doors became a challenge.Worse of all the pain caused her mental frame of mind to be demotivated and her jest for life was affected. She didn’t feel like doing anything. I felt for her very much.I chanced upon this product called Olivenol livin, recommended by my neighbourhood pharmacist. She told me that my mum’s symptoms sounds like rheumatoid arthirits and ask me to consider trying this product. Since this is a natural product made out of olives, I did not hesitate to get it for mum. Anything for her to ease that pain and regain her quality of life.
After 2- 3 weeks of consuming Olivenol, she started to notice that her pain is almost gone. Her fingers were much more flexible and she could bend them with no discomfort. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. The persistent pain was gone! Mum has been taking Olivenol for almost a year now, and is so happy that the pain hasn’t come back once since the day she started her first bottle of Olivenol livin. The added bonus is her hair has become bouncier, and healthier looking too!
Thank you so much for giving mum this gift of a pain free life. The days where she sits at home, miserable and suffering in despair, are a thing of the past!

Olives – Nature’s Powerful Healers
Antioxidants are found in many types of food. Many have since lauded the heart-healthy benefits of olives; scientific studies have concluded that a family of natural antioxidant compounds found in olives, called biophenols, provide multiple health benefits.
Professor Dr Roberto Crea, a professor of Molecular Genetics with a PhD in Biological Chemistry, has created the most effective formulation of natural olive biophenols and incorporated it into a revolutionary range of patented multi-action biophenols supplements – OLIVENOL™ livin’ BEGIN.
OLIVENOL™ livin’ BEGIN offers the highest level of oxidative stress protection ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound. It offers remarkable free-radical protection and effcacy because it has high bioavailability; its minute molecular size allows it to be quickly absorbed, distributed and metabolised in the body.
