The Truth About Arthritis

OLIVENOL livin' — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 08:17:15 +0000

When you hear the word “arthritis”, one of the first things to note is that it is not a single disease per se. There are actually more than 100 types of diseases that are classified under the term “arthritis”. The same applies to the term “rheumatic disease”.

Also, arthritis and rheumatism are two separate groups of diseases. Arthritis refers to diseases or damage affecting the joints, while rheumatism is any pain in or around the bones, joints and muscles. Rheumatic disease, on the other hand, is a catch-all terms that covers all types of rheumatism and arthritis.

“It’s just an ache I have”
Arthritis should not be dismissed lightly, as some forms can cause serious damage to joints and organs. Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, can result in inflammation of the joints and the damage is irreversible.

“Only women are affected by arthritis”
This is a common misconception due to the higher incidence of arthritis (particularly osteoarthritis) among women. In fact, about 50% of men aged 65 and above also suffer from osteoarthritis. Another form of arthritis, known as ankylosing spondylitis, which affect the spine, is also more common in young men than in young women.

“It’s an old-age disease”
It is true that some types of arthritis affect mainly older people. For example, rheumatoid arthritis occurs mostly in those aged 40 – 60. Nonetheless, it does not mean that younger people are not susceptible. For example, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis causes joint inflammation in children under the age of 16, while ankylosing spondylitis commonly occurs in those between the ages of 16 and 40.

“Over-the-counter medications are enough for arthritic pain”
If only it were as simple as that! Many people do take over-the-counter (OTC) medication for arthritic pain. Although OTC drugs may provide some relief, they are not always recommended. Certain forms of arthritis, if left untreated by a doctor, can worsen and eventually lead to severe pain, joint damage and immobility.

“Nothing can be done to treat arthritis”
While it is true that there is currently no cure for arthritis, this does not mean that a patient has to suffer in silence. There are many new treatment options, including surgery, available to reduce pain and prevent further damage to joints, thus improving a person’s quality of life.

“Arthritis is caused by poor food choices”
There is no evidence that food choices have any effect on arthritis, although some people do notice that certain food cause allergies which, in turn, worsen their symptoms. Since being overweight puts added pressure on the joints and aggravates arthritis, maintaining a healthy diet and an appropriate weight has more influence on arthritic symptoms than food choices.

“My symptoms are worse on a rainy day”
You may have heard complaints from arthritic patients that cold weather increases their pain. Warmer weather may make a person feel better, but it is not a cure for arthritis nor can it prevent the development or progression of the condition.

See how OLIVENOL contains Psoriasis…

OLIVENOL livin' — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:45:49 +0000

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 – Dhania Mohamad

OLIVENOL livin' — Mon, 03 May 2010 07:14:09 +0000

Dhania Mohamad submitted her short story on our facebook wall. We thought is it should be included to our blog/facebook notes as a permanent record. Read below, her winning story:

Dhania had Juvenile RA

At the age of 3 months old I was diagnosed with eczema. As I grow up the eczema is on and off. Sometimes it become very severe. When I was 12 years old, my parents found out about acupunture. After using acupunture the eczema went away. But still my skin become red when I drink milk.

After a few months I had joint pain. I even can’t walk. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the age of 12 years old. The doctor said it may be caused by infection due to eczema. After a year the pain went away. However 2 years ago, the RA came back. I was afraid that I won’t walk again, so I took pain killer again everyday.

About 3 months ago I found out about OLIVENOL via facebook. After using OLIVENOL for 2 months, I’m happy that the pain is reduced and I don’t have to take any painkiller anymore. For bonus, my skin also become more smooth. Now I’m 24 years old and I’m glad that my health become better because there is so much thing I want to do.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OLIVENOL!

Congratulations Dhania for wining 2 packs of OLIVENOL livin’ BEGIN capsules. We wish you well with best of health to achieve all you aspire to do in life!

My OLIVENOL Story – Jesselyn Pang

OLIVENOL livin' — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:03:22 +0000

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

OLIVENOL livin' — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:17:49 +0000

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 . Her black panda eyes has reduced significantly and she is not so haggard looking anymore. Even my Grandma believes that I am a stronger boy because of Olivenol.

I’d like to say thanks to Olivenol for making everyone’s life a little brighter.

Happy Anniversary!

She desires to be pain free

I am a housewife wif 2 daughters. They still study in U，one at UPSI(perak) another at UNIMAP(perlis). I would like to find opportunities to go there and visit them but i can’t because need to travel for long journey by bus. Perlis (11hours) and Perak (4 hours). It is really hard for me to travel by bus for such long journey because it is difficult for me to sit on bus for that long hours. Sometime i really feel sorry for my daughters because i cannot be like others mum pay their children a visit.

This is especially emotional when they are far from lovely hometown and when they really need their mum support and advice. Everytime i sit for long hours my backbone will ache seriously, when that happens, i struggle because I cannot sit, sleep and even stand. It is really painful. Sometime i feel that my life like hell! Because nobody can help me at that moment, the pain come continuously. Sometime, the pain is so severe i also cannot sleep at night…..

But after start consuming OLIVENOL livin for about 4 months i can feel that my backbone pain become less already. Sometime i can sit for long hours and more. I really want to thank olivenol livin because it has helped me to reduce my backbone pain and i hope i will able to travel for long journey to visit my daughter without feel any pain. This is all i wan share with all of u. You must appreciate what u have now especially health!

Happy Anniversary OLIVENOL!

My OLIVENOL Story – Khor Siew Nai

OLIVENOL livin' — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 23:57:31 +0000

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 !!
