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 !
Make Jesselyn a winner and “like” her story on facebook. Even with this very late entry, we thank Jesselyn for sharing. We wish her and her hubby well in the journey ahead to battle psoriasis.
My OLIVENOL Story – Lai Khyentse
We received this moving story from Lai Khyentse who was the voice for his mummy who wanted to remain anonymous 
My Mummy was an outdoor, active person before I was born. Her life turned around and she became a haggard looking person with black eyes right after due to sleepless nights for many months. She used to watch me sleeping and tears will drop as my skin was badly affected by eczema since I was 2 months old. I didn’t sleep well too and keep waking up my Mummy as I was itchy all the time.
When my Mummy takes me out, people will gape as I looked like I had a disease or I was being abused. My face, arms, legs and body were all red and oozing with water and bloody coz I scratched it hard. Mummy used to boast that I was the smartest baby as I learnt to scratch at a very young age of 2 months. My Mummy and Daddy tried all sorts of methods to help me and spent all the money that they would’ve kept to send me to an international school but to no avail.
The day Mummy was introduced to Olivenol was a day of great rejoice. She fed me with only 0.5ml per day every day for the next few months. My skin slowly became normal and I started to give my Mummy some full night’s sleep. Today, people call me cute when they see me. No one gapes at me. A doctor even mentioned that I have beautiful skin! Of course he didn’t see the folds of my skin which had the traces of eczema.
But the best thing is that my Mummy got her life back. She can now go back to kickboxing classes although I wouldn’t let her go to all other outdoor activities without me
I’d like to say thanks to Olivenol for making everyone’s life a little brighter.
Happy Anniversary!

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.

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.
Did Japanese Scientists Really Kill A(H1N1) Virus?
WOW!!!
We underestimated the interest level of our readers in the detailed scientific content of our postings. Our pageviews spiked following this article we posted 4 days ago.
We received emails from doctors, pharmacists and the general public asking for verification (and source) that the reported research quoted in our posting was true and not a hoax. Did the Japanese scientists really kill the A(H1N1) virus with hydroxytyrosol (HT)?
The best way we can clear this, is to provide you a download link of the paper we referred to HERE.
We have a scientific team in our company actively monitors all ongoing research around the world on Hydroxytyrosol (HT), the active ingredient in OLIVENOL livin’. Our fascination with HT goes beyond just a commercial interest. In fact, we are more motivated to discover and document the extent of therapeutic effect this “miracle” molecule God has given us through the olive fruit.
To date, there are well established scientific, medical and clinical evidence that HT plays a positive role in:
- cardiovascular system – inhibits LDL oxidation, prevent and reverse arthereosclerosis
- controlling arthritic indications – anti-inflammatory, cartilage regeneration, improve mobility, pain relief
- skin health – controlling psoriasis indications, clearing eczema and acne, improve moisture retention for healthy skin
- modulate immune system – reduce allergic effect, anti viral infection, quicker recovery from illness, control autoimmune induced indications
- anti aging – increase total glutathione status in body
- anti-cancer effect – induce cell apoptosis
Please read the related articles to link to back to the relevant research and publications on the multi effect of HT. We will continue to add to this knowledge base on OLIVES – one of nature’s best kept secret.
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)
Scalp Psoriasis
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).
