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.

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.

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’.

1. OLIVENOL livin’ Birthday Bonanza 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?

The immune system is the body’s means of protecting itself against microorganisms and other “foreign” substances. One component, B lymphocytes, produces antibodies that attack “foreign” substances and remove them from the body.

Another component consists of special white blood cells called T lymphocytes, which can attack “foreign” substances directly.

Over a person’s lifetime, his immune system develops an extensive library of identified substances and microorganisms that are catalogued as “threat” or “non-threat.”

Normally, the immune system will only attack those tissues that it recognises as a “threat.” However this natural programming of what is a threat and what is not sometimes breaks down. In allergies or eczema, the immune system reacts to an external substance that it normally would ignore.

In the case of psoriasis, lupus, and RA, the immune system reacts negatively to substances within the body. Again, the immune system is unable to differentiate between healthy body tissues and antigens, resulting in inflammatory reactions in critical organs such as skin and joints. When the body attacks itself, this is classified as an autoimmune disorder.

An autoimmune disorder may result in:

● The destruction of one or more types of body tissue (eg arthritic joints are destroyed)

● Abnormal growth of an organ (eg psoriasis skin plaques)

● Changes in organ function (eg lupus causing lung and heart disorders)

This happens when something confuses the immune system. Increasingly, that “something” appears to be the enormous load of environmental toxins to which we are all exposed. Environmental toxins are chemicals and other materials created largely from industry. These chemicals have saturated our water, food, and the very air we breathe. You can’t see, feel, or smell many toxins – at least, not right away.

Treating immune system disorders

Environmental toxins are a major cause of immune disorders. Yet conventional medicine doesn’t take that into account when treating them.

Instead, it tries to shut down the immune response with powerful medications including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, anti-cancer drugs like methotrexate, and new drugs that block the effects of a powerful inflammatory molecule called TNF-alpha.

These drugs may be lifesaving for some in the short run, but in the long run they do little to deal with the root causes of these disorders.

In The Autoimmune Epidemic, Donna Jackson Nakazawa provides clear solutions such as changes in diet, supplements, and the environment that can help people deal with immune system disorders.

Dr Mark Hyman, a practising physician, is an internationally recognised authority in the field of functional medicine – an approach to medicine that provides a new road map for navigating the territory of health and illness.

Dr Hyman is also the author the New York Times best-sellers The UltraMind Solution, The UltraSimple Diet, and UltraMetabolism, in which he provides insights on how you can integrate functional medicine into your life and achieve a state of wellness.

In his books, Dr. Hyman outlines several tips for addressing immune system-induced diseases:

● Understand that the underlying cause of joint pain and skin plaques is your immune system.

● Get tested for mercury and other heavy metals.

● Get tested for coeliac disease (an autoimmune reaction to wheat and other gluten-containing grains), which causes over 60 autoimmune diseases.

And consider eliminating other inflammatory foods from your diet such as dairy, eggs, corn, and animal fats for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference.

● Take immune-balancing nutrients and supplements.

● Practise deep relaxation therapy daily through yoga, meditation, biofeedback, or anything that reverses the stress response.

● Practise the precautionary principle that states that we should avoid anything with the potential for harm.

By addressing the root causes of autoimmune disease, you can start feeling better and getting well today.

Benefits of immune-balancing nutrients

Many sufferers of immune disorder conditions such as psoriasis, arthritis, eczema, and dermatitis in Malaysia have discovered the benefits of hydroxytyrosol (HT), a natural polyphenol molecule that is only found in olives.

HT has exhibited clinically proven efficacy in rebalancing immune system responses to inflammation of the joints and skin.

As a nutrient and supplement, HT inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, possesses the highest antioxidant activities, and is an excellent scavenger of free radicals that are generated as a result of oxidative stress.

It can be used for psoriasis, RA, eczema, dermatitis, and allergy, diseases that have a common root in the immune system. Since olives have immune-balancing capabilities as recorded by scriptures of old, the positive results reported by those who use HT are not unexpected.
