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 – Jesselyn Pang
We received one more story at the eleventh hour from Jesselyn Pang who shared an intimate story of her journey with her hubby who has psoriasis. We know Jesselyn well as we often communicate about health, diet and supplements in general. Read her story below:
My hubby’s psoriasis on the face started with a few small patches when he took up his first job and worked overtime almost everyday. Workload, stress and improper meals and sleeping time has contributed to his condition getting serious. When he first noticed those patches, he treated them as skin sensitive and started to seek medical advise from the skin specialist but none actually helped and none of them ever tell him that it’s psoriasis.
Without knowing exactly his problem, he continue visiting one specialist to another and continue taking those oral medication and applying crèmes. To an extend he even had injections on the patches to reduce the redness. This continue for a few years and finally a doctor told him about psoriasis which lead to our research for further information. We found out that those prescribed medications and crèmes contains steroid which are harmful to the liver.
From then onwards, we start to look for alternatives and steroid free natural healings. He tried TCM (traditional Chinese medication) and Ayurvedic but none actually help to improve his condition. We have no other choice but have to seek medical advise from practicing skin specialist and was then recommended to Dr Allan Yee. We are very happy with Dr Yee’s treatment as he always practices steroid free, natural healing.
During the consultation journey with Dr Yee, my hubby came to know about Olivenol Livin program and decided to try. We started on a 3 months program in conjunction with juicing. Since then, all those fresh lesions and flares cleared with his condition is under control left only with those “old” patches. Perhaps the duration on Olivenol Livin is sufficient for it to start healing cause the process of cleansing the body’s harmful substances may take longer despite all the treatments that he had. Early this year, he started on Olivenol Livin again with hope that his condition will be overcome.
Happy Anniversary Olivenol Livin !

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 !!

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.

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:
Results after 5 weeks.
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?
