Olive Oil Book is a Godsend!,
By
This review is from: The Healing Powers of Olive Oil: A Complete Guide To Nature's Liquid Gold (Paperback)
The health benefits from using olive oil are beyond amazing. The Healing Powers of Olive Oil has been a Godsend to me. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year. I cried when I got my blood tests back. My cholesterol and triglycerides we're far above normal. I felt like I was a walking time bomb. Now they've dropped over 100 points and my blood sugar levels are easier to manage. I've begun using the recipes "all with olive oil" in the book. You can even use olive oil in baking healthful goodies! I bought Ms. Orey's other book The Healing Powers of Vinegar. Together these dynamic books are teaching me a new way of eating and living...healthfully!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Informative book on Olive oil,
By Flo Spruance (Paradise, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Healing Powers of Olive Oil: A Complete Guide To Nature's Liquid Gold (Paperback)
Cal Orey has written another very informative book. I feel like I finally understand the various types of olive oil I see in many stores. I love the way she summarizes each chapter calling them "The Golden Secrets to Remember." I especially loved the chapters called "Cures from Your Kitchen (30 Ways to Use Olive Oil Remedies)" and "Olive Oil Mania: Using Olive Oil for the Household, Kids, Pets, and Beauty." I plan to visit an olive oil producer mention that is a half hour drive from our home as well as trying some of the recipes that she has included. Until reading this book I had no idea there were so many benefits from olive oil. I look forward to trying the various types in my home. This book is a must for anyone wanting to know more about olive oil.

God bless the olive tree!,

This review is from: The Healing Powers of Olive Oil: A Complete Guide To Nature's Liquid Gold (Paperback)
"The Healing Powers of Olive Oil" is a breakthrough book that can do much more for you than be an aid to cooking. It's jam packed with wit, wisdom, cures, remedies, recipes and more and presented in an easy to understand and informative way. Lowering cholesterol and blood pressure got my attention. If you value your health and the health of your family, you will purchase Cal Orey's book.
