A Letter to the Hungry Reader of The Healing Powers of Honey

By Cal Orey

It sounds like you, Dear Reader, might have been skimming through The Healing Powers of Honey (mass market edition) on an empty stomach! While the nutrition/health perks, home cures, and heartfelt personal tales and beekeepers’ stories are the 'main course,' in the first edition and new revised edition the recipes are impossible to miss.

Imagine each one of the recipes as the 'healthy dessert' at the end of every chapter-- and PART 8 HONEY RECIPES section contains 100 or more tried and tested masterpieces! The categories include breakfasts, appetizers and breads, entrees, and desserts (pages 309-366). The wide selection of recipes based on the Mediterranean diet are there! (Page 83 Top Mediterranean Diet Pyramid.)

Also, these nutritious and delicious recipes are provided with the courtesy from the kind National Honey Board, The Honey Association, Canyon Ranch, Savannah Bee Company, Chef Michael Stroot, and more golden sources. In the new edition I use less sugar and swap it with less raw honey. I hope you'll give the new edition a taste!

The Healing Powers of Honey has been graced with the Best Seller banner countless times on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, Walmart, and Kobo. It was blessed with Amazon's #1 Top Rated Book Label in spring of 2025... Honey is the superfood for all seasons! (5 formats), and now two editions.

Author-Intuitive Cal Orey Foretells Future on The Mancow Show...Looking Back in Time

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:40:49 +0000

Monday morning wake-up predictions with Mancow about what's buzzworthy in the future.
--Cal Orey

Up early at 4:30 AM to make a guest cameo appearance on The Mancow Show. I thought I was going to talk about "oddest phobias" (Friday 13th, sleeping, money) but no. As an intuitive I sensed I'd be tossed a curve ball. Really, well sort of.

As a phone psychic for two international phone networks, I dish out readings on cue. Today, Mancow asked for one. Yikes. On the spot I reacted like a cat not ready or willing to perform tricks. Funny, he asked me to "read" him...I drew a blank. I said: "You drank coffee." (I was right.) I then added: "Fuzzy like a eight ball. Try again."

Weird, I can read anyone...Perhaps it was the audience vibe or his strong energy like a fire sign. Yet he is a water/air cuspie. (Very odd. I was blocked but when doing phone readings it comes easily. I felt static like a radio station couldn't get a signal.)

The Mancow did recall my past on-air past prediction for a strong quake in the midwest this year which did hit big-time over the weekend--and 280 miles east is the New Madrid Zone (the seven states shook).
This time around he asked me how I do it--predictions. I said it is a "gift" -- "comes to me like writing." I, the writer labeled "author" added, "Right brain, creative." And then came the predictions, per the popular host's request...
* 2012 will be "like a rollercoaster."
* Presidential election will be crazy.
* If you thought 2011 quakes were scary, 2012 will be super spooky. I'm feeling West Coast and/or America--we've been lucky for the most part so far.
* Dec. 21 will not be the end but "Fasten your seat belts" for the upcoming year.
One more thing. I forecast Obama will be re-elected--but I didn't mention it on air so here it is, whether we like it or not.

And then I disappeared like Glenda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Poof. I wanted to pour another cup of java (Gingerbread/Columbian) and since I was up I signed onto the psychic networks. The phone rang when I was half asleep. No problem. It was a question about a job and friend. A shake-up and stress-related illness(es). It was an easy read, like usual. Mancow? Probably off- air reading him could be a piece of coffee cake with a cuppa coffee (or two). And now the phone is ringing..."Intuitive Callie."

Code Blue! for the Healing Powers Author: My Survival Story

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:46:13 +0000

By Cal Orey

(Excerpt from the newly revised and updated #1 hit, The Healing Powers of Honey -- Unveiled this summer! available for pre-order)

As a devoted health author, I’ve always been lean and active, never smoked or drank alcohol. So, I was shocked when one day I made a call to the paramedics. “Something isn’t right,” I said in between catching my breath. Fifteen minutes later, I was at the hospital.

I was told later by a young nurse; she was the one to call out “CODE BLUE!” CPR for another fifteen minutes. My heart had stopped. I don’t recall the ventilator, or transport to another hospital for heart patients—a reality I never imagined facing. The diagnosis: coronary heart disease (CAD). The cardiologist who performed an angiogram told me it was my diet and clean lifestyle that likely saved my life. He recommended NO open-heart surgery; and yes, to heart meds. He believed my clogged arteries were caused 70 percent by genes (thanks mom and dad). Yeah, my mom was Type-A, a hardworking human honey bee like me.

I agonized. I don’t want major surgery. I don’t have any comorbidities. I never got COVID. I wanted a second opinion. I said no to the no name doctors who wanted to perform open-heart surgery. A few weeks later, a local cardiologist reviewed my angiogram. He looked like the kid in that Home Alone scene, where he slaps his hands to his face, wide-eyed, his amusing reaction to the sting of aftershave. But my heart disease was no laughing matter. The doc instantly called a cardio specialist at UC Davis. After a summer of statin hell (fatigue, memory loss, muscle weakness, and stomach woes), my CAD morphed into congestive heart failure!...

Honey and Tea for June--National Iced Tea Month

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Sun, 31 May 2026 03:33:16 +0000

By Cal Orey

For centuries, people all around the world have enjoyed the simple, soothing pleasures of a good cup of tea with a good teaspoon of honey, and nowadays there is more reason to so do. Tea(s)—all kinds--especially with honey, but together they pack a punch of nutritional and health benefits.

Medical doctors, nutritionists, scientists and beekeepers are now confirming what healers have been saying for since biblical times—teas and honeys have a variety of healing powers.

Here are my favorite tea and honey marriages—but there are infinite combinations for both you and me to try. There is no right or wrong combination and what’s sweet to you makes honey-tea beverages a sweet sip. Read on -- and pick one or two!

1. Black Tea: The first tea I was introduced to was basic black tea—which does contain caffeine—and I have enjoyed it plain but realized it did need a sweet flavor boost to it. Also, Earl Grey and English breakfast teas (perfect for an Irish breakfast, complete with fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, and scones) are part of the Black Tea group.

Best Honey Matches: Basswood has a distinct flavor that I’ve used in plain yogurt for a rich flavor and it can give black tea a kick, too. Sourwood boasts a caramel taste that can make a common black tea come to life with taste. Earl Grey teams well with avocado, blueberry, and eucalyptus honeys, too. It’s more exotic and exciting than just a simple all-purpose clover honey that comes without pleasant surprises.

2. Green Tea: Touted for its wide array of health virtues, this Asian tea does contain caffeine, like black tea, but not as much. It’s an acquired taste and that’s where honey comes into play so you can get the best of taste and nutritional benefits.

Best Honey Matches: Blueberry honey has a fruity taste which can give a nice kick to green tea, not the most flavorful tea. Sage honey is mild, a California favorite of mine that brings out the best of green tea.

3. Fruit Tea—Welcome to lemon, orange, rose hips, and apple teas. These fruity teas are sweet and sometimes tart, which call for a honey sidekick.

Best Honey Matches: Mild flavored honeys such as sage and alfalfa brings out the best in fruit teas because it doesn’t overpower the fruity taste but maintains the integrity of the fruit flavor.

4. Herbal Tea—Herbal teas come from a variety of plants other than the tea plant. They are made from the leaves, berries, flowers, fruits and bark of herbs and spices.

Although most herbal teas do not contain the antioxidant properties of real tea, they do possess other good-for-you compounds that can enhance your health and well-being. There is a wide range of herbal teas, including ginseng, cinnamon, licorice, and mint.

Rooibos (roy-boss) is the “new” herbal tea on the block—that is often called “Red Tea.” Like green and black teas, this tea contains antioxidants that make it heart-healthy and immune-enhancing—and it’s caffeine free.

Best Honey Matches: Teaming earthy and warm herbal teas go well with a mild alfalfa, clover, orange blossom, and sage honeys—common honeys that complement distinct herbal flavors.

5. Oolong Tea—This tea, popular in Asian countries, contains health perks of both black and green teas. A robust flavored-tea that can have a sweet taste lends to different honeys.

Best Honey Matches: Oolong, not a tea familiar to me, was easy to try with a friendly California orange blossom honey with its citrusy sweet taste. Another oolong mate is tupelo honey its light amber color and herbal, fruity flavors.

6. White Tea—And last but not least welcome to this pale tea. Found in China it is believed to rank number one for its antioxidants. It’s a bit sweet and mellow. It’s the new tea on the block for tea lovers.

Best Honey Matches: Fireweed honey is light colored and smooth, like white tea—the two complement each other. Wildflower, one of my favorite mild honeys also goes nicely with white tea.

As a devout tea drinker, I believe your choice of honey and tea is a personal choice—like pairing dark chocolate with different fruits, herbs and spices. The selection also depends on the season to your mood. But popular and friendly honeys, such as clover and orange blossom are suitable any time, any place because they are not too strong and will not overpower teas—all types—and you can’t go wrong for yourself or if you’re serving other people.

Confessions of a Phone Psychic

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Sat, 30 May 2026 14:46:27 +0000

By Cal Orey

After all, I thought, "Since I was 8, people have noticed my sensitive nature and uncanny sixth sense. After I penned the book 'The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes,' I began dishing out quake predictions on national radio shows. Reading people and the challenges that rock their world is no different."

And now I'm one of countless psychic adviser voices who charge by the minute to tune into people and be their personal Magic Eight Ball. (I've received hundreds of positive reviews. Also, I'm tagged as the "time frame" reader with dishes dates. Yes, I'm accurate about 80 percent of the time.

Email and Phone Readings/COrey39184@aol.com

Tuning In to the Faraway Caller
No, I do not use incense, hold a crystal ball or provide spells. I'm often in the company of two sensitive dogs and one black cat (they relax me), and listening to alternative music when the phone rings. I am connected to a caller who is often sad, upset or confused. And, yes, this job can be stressful as well as rewarding. Think healer.

Once I hear a voice, it sets the stage. Often I can pick up if the call is from the West Coast, South, Northeast, Canada, Trinidad, New Zealand or Australia. And it's not always the accents. It's my animal-like intuition that kicks in from the get go. But there's more ...

Hello, Mother Nature
I use the planets as a baseline, lunar cycles (emotions and calls soar during the New and Full Moon), and a tarot card to get an objective read, which often coincides with what I've picked up with my gut instinct. As a super-sensitive woman, I can predict callers' questions by tuning into their voice, energy and words.

I can also pick up why I'm being contacted, the age of a person, their sun sign (but sometimes I do ask; usually they end up being on the cusp of two signs). If I'm challenged by a skeptical caller, it can end up in a murky reading or a hang-up. It used to hurt my feelings, but nowadays, I sip chamomile tea until the next ring.

I can sense if the caller is sincere -- and then it's show time. Sometimes, the paranormal activity kind of cues I get send chills through my body. The caller feels it, too. That means that I tapped into their psyche and we connected, big-time.

I Can Feel Your Vibrations
Both my callers and I are often surprised that I know things, such as if he or she has a toothache or heartache. The most common problem I am faced with is unrequited love (one-sided romance) -- and it hurts. How do you say, "He or she isn't that much into you?" and/or "Move on for true happiness" -- especially when the caller has her ego wounded, fears being alone or is anxious about the unknown.

I do offer positive advice and words of preparedness for upcoming events (even if a caller can't see what I'm talking about yet). I tell it like it is because saying good things doesn't always bring good or accurate results. It's like saying, "A quake won't hit" when I'm looking at the USGS map, watching an aggressive swarm on an active fault, and the caller is located at the epicenter of a country in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Fire, Earth, Water and Air Signs
Speaking of Earth elements, how do I know if a caller is a Fire, Earth, Water or Air sign? A fire sign is direct and intense, and if the topic is touchy, I can feel their heated emotions (my clavicle often aches). Earth signs are reserved, a bit shy and need a nudge to be real. I can pick up the vibe of passionate water signs' feelings and understand they want me to confirm what they know. And air signs are analytical, good communicators and have a sixth sense, but are hesitant to tune into their gut instincts.

Two days ago, a woman asked me if her sibling would survive a challenging surgical procedure. I strongly sensed "yes." Tonight, I got the answer. I was spot on. I signed on to take another call. I'm sensing the phone will ring within 15 minutes.

Oh, and if you're wondering why, if I'm so psychic, I didn't know when my book check was in the mail, the reason is this: Sometimes it can be tricky to get an accurate read on your own life. Psychic advisers frequently turn to their colleagues (or tarot cards) for an objective outlook, the way I look to the moon and planets to tell me what other people have in store.

There goes the phone, right on time. So, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll take that call.

Spring Forward Year-Round?

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Fri, 29 May 2026 14:43:08 +0000

By Cal Orey, M.A.

News Flash: daylight saving time may become year-round—and yes, it can affect your health!

For years, I was a fan of the "Great White North," chasing the crisp air of Alaska and Canada. I fancied myself a creature of the big chill, swaddled in layers and shunning the sun. As a lacto-vegetarian who avoided fish, I was living in a self-imposed unhealthy eclipse. The irony of my "healthy" lifestyle was revealed by a lab report. My blood work arrived like a cold front, showing vitamin D levels that were subterranean. I swapped vegetable plates for salmon and turned my body toward the sun with gardening and savoring the outdoors. Months later, the needle moved; my blood work finally reflected a body in balance.

As the clocks jumped forward and we transitioned out of the winter doldrums, Vitamin D—known as the "sunshine vitamin"—is a spark plug for your health. Meanwhile, there is news that daylight saving time (DST) may go year-round! Here’s some health reasons why that can be a good thing.

Enjoy the Happy Booster: Vitamin D helps regulate serotonin, the “happy” brain chemical. As we gain more light, maintaining higher Vitamin D levels helps beat "Seasonal Affective Disorder" (SAD) and provides your "get-up-and-go" energy. Pre-spring/summer is often peak time for lingering respiratory woes and colds during shoulder season in regions like Tahoe. Vitamin D comes to the rescue to enhance your immune defense—and decreases inflammation and odds of catching pesky viruses.

Soak up the Sun: The most natural way to "recharge" is through UVB radiation. When sunlight hits the skin, you get Vitamin D3. Experts recommend up to 30 minutes of sun exposure on the face, arms, or back at least twice a week between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Get Vitamin-D Superfoods: Here are foods for Vitamin D: Salmon: It acts like “Super Glue” to keep your bones strong and heart healthy. Egg Yolks: They provide a brain and body booster to rev up your mood. Fortified OJ, Milk, and Whole Grain Cereal: These edibles contain plenty of Vitamin D, helping you reach your Daily Value by utilizing D2 or D3 to ensure metabolic needs are met.

So, getting a daily dose of sunshine and eating more Vitamin-D rich foods, say health experts, are good news for better health. I discovered that while Alaska is a fine place to visit, Tahoe sunshine (and savoring fish plus) is my happy place. (Adapted from the Healing Powers series).

Will the U.S. Adopt Permanent DST?

The question of whether the United States will adopt permanent daylight saving time (DST) remains a subject of legislative debate. But the two states that do honor keeping the clocks steady are Arizona and Hawaii. The current system of biannual shifting is given a thumbs down by health experts, who argue that the transition disrupts the body’s circadian rhythm—the internal 24-hour clock that regulates sleep, metabolism, and immune function. So, what is a nature-lover’s take on the change year-round?

· More "Golden Hour" Playtime: If we locked in more evening light, you’d have an extra hour of daylight after work to hit the slopes, mountain bike, or just enjoy a sunset beer on the porch without rushing before dark.

· Syncing with the Peaks: Proponents of permanent time argue that staying in one lane—whether standard or daylight—is better for the planet and our bodies than the current "waffling" that confuses our internal clocks.

· Super Productivity: With a consistent schedule, your body can settle into a groove, helping you feel more energized and motivated to tackle those big Sierra adventures.

While the debate continues between those who want more morning light (Standard Time) and those who want more evening light, the consensus among sleep scientists is that picking one and sticking to it is the healthiest path forward for everyone.

Honey Rx for Late-Spring Sinus Woes

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Wed, 27 May 2026 18:41:30 +0000

Sinus Headache? Accuweather at South Lake Tahoe Shows HIGH also for Pollen, Dander, Colds, and Flu!

Sinus sufferers are hardly alone. About 35 million Americans have sinusitis at least once year, according to researchers. If you have nasal congestion, a cough, painful facial pressure – welcome to rhinosinusitis commonly called sinusitis, explains the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI).

Meet the sinuses – hollow cavities around the face — which aids to filter the air you breathe. Sinus woes – chronic and acute – say sinus specialists are often caused by allergies, colds, flu or change in environment. So, you can blame your sinus woes on the dust, dander, and dry air in the mountains — especially during fall. But you are not powerless. Here are things you can do:

1. Eat spicy foods. One hot chili pepper can be your antidote to break up the mucus (the stuff in your throat), open the airways, and allows you to breathe easier. A study published in Annals of Allergy; Asthma & Immunology proved hot chili peppers may help clear up sinus inflammation. Also, try eating spicy hot mustard and horseradish.

2. Add garlic to your diet. Garlic has expectorant and decongestant properties that help you to prevent a cold — often followed by acute sinusitis, points out the AAAAI. The herb contains a sulfur compound called allicin and can fight bacteria – linked to sinus infections. Past research shows you can prevent the common cold with a garlic supplement. Or a garlic clove eaten in your favorite dishes may keep sinus woes and sniffles or the doctor away.

3. Pineapple, please. Eating ½ cup, diced pineapple or drinking 8 ounces of pineapple juice may be what the doctor should order to prevent sinus troubles. Research has shown that the enzyme bromelain was the key compound that helped ward off acute sinusitis for children in Germany. Pineapple juice, a good source of immune-boosting vitamin C, is a sweet anti-sinusitis fighter.

4. Sip tea. Sinus doctors at the New York Sinus Center note that inhaling vapors of herbal brew can alleviate nasal inflammation, and drinking the hot beverage can speed nasal drainage by moisturizing the mucus membranes. The Center recommends a variety of sinus agony-busting herbal teas such as blackberry, chamomile, peppermint, and thyme. Don't forget antioxidant-rich black, green, and white! Savor three cups daily for best results. Speaking of tea…

5. Add a bit of honey! Research touts nature’s nectar can kill bacteria. Plus, a study conducted at the University of Oxford, UK reveals honey is more effective at treating coughs and colds than antibiotics and more budget-wise. The rule of thumb is no more than three tablespoons per day. Local raw lavender honey is my favorite.

Here are more options from the AAAAI: Get plenty of rest, and keep your body hydrated by drinking several glasses of water a day. Try breathing hot, moist air, using hot packs, or washing the nasal cavities with a saline rinse. If your sinus ailments do not resolve, consult your doctor.

Soup Rx

Chicken soup (canned or homemade) contains several ingredients that affect the body’s immune system, say nutritionists. A bowl of hot soup has anti-inflammatory properties that may soothe a sore throat — and ease the pesky headache of sinus symptoms. Bonus tip: Add fresh hot peppers and garlic!

Why Human-Authored Writing Still Matters

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Sat, 23 May 2026 20:20:52 +0000

By Cal Orey, M.A.

In today’s publishing world, AI is flooding the market with cheap, generic writing. Think bland, dry fast food versus the "premium" alternative. When people use AI to get free content, they are usually looking for "good enough" filler and a short cut into playing wordsmith.

However, the glitch is, traditional publishers, human authors, and hungry readers are tired of AI-generated books that lack depth, voice, and accuracy. It's been noted that readers can detect robotic or generic content, so the "human touch" is still priceless.

Accomplished authors, like me, are a subject matter expert (we are the masters of different genres); I am not just a typist. By writing high-level articles complete with research, hands-on experience, real-life dialogue, sprinkled with wit and heart, I can create a book or novel that AI cannot replicate.

I created a book series (the first one ignited in 2000) and we did not have robots to write the stuff we wrote and rewrote. We were self-reliant. Sure, traditional book publishers did and do copyedit and proofread human authors' work. And it worked!

Many companies, doctors, scientists, and business wizards are now actively avoiding AI usage because of legal risks and poor quality. Read: Data is often outdated or incorrect.

I can feel good that my work is 100% human-verified and original. People who need my expertise, skill set, and a distinct voice (or to capture their style), is something a machine can never provide. Not yet. Often human authors have paid their dues and have natural talent to be able to write with an unforgettable voice (or capture a client's style). And we know we are still a cut above the quick "takeout grub" or AI writing. Human authors often have degrees in English-Creative Writing--and specialize in certain genres--plus can share real-life human stories to help in crafting a book or novel. Most importantly, we can and do provide soul to the work.

A Cup of Joe (or two) is What Doctors Order for Your Well-Being

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Thu, 21 May 2026 21:53:11 +0000

Is America's Beloved Brew
Loaded with Healing Powers?

Millions of Americans reach for a cup first thing in the morning, counting on it to jolt them awake and get their day going. But did you know your morning brew has benefits that go far beyond caffeine?

That’s because coffee is chock full of keep-you-healthy from head-to-toe antioxidants and hundreds of health boosting compounds. They’re so powerful they could boost your memory, lower your risk of diabetes and cancer, stop pain and send colds and flu packing.

What’s more, leading university researchers found coffee isn’t just chockful of antioxidants . . .it’s the #1 source of antioxidants in the American diet. No wonder medical doctors and researchers around the world call coffee the new superfood. Your cup of java is good for your brain, heart, sinuses, lungs, skin, mood and so much more!

Now you can get the full scoop on your beloved breakfast beverage from Cal Orey, the best-selling author of The Healing Powers of Chocolate in his blockbuster new book, The Healing Powers of Coffee.

Inside, you’ll discover how your morning joe’s magical beans not only wake you up, boost your mood and give you energy but your antioxidant-rich coffee is full of other big perks. For example, you can . . .

Lose fat and flab, sleep peacefully,
& even grow new hair!

Coffee has been scientifically found to be a powerful remedy for dozens of common health conditions—even the most surprising ones like insomnia, diarrhea and balding. This go juice serves up dozens of other health benefits, including helping you:

Lose weight
Burn more fat
Lower blood pressure
Stop muscle pains and cramps
Banish headaches
Sooth an upset tummy
Heal colds
Speed flu recovery
Relieve sinusitis and stuffiness
Ease dental woes
And much more

As an added benefit, this magical bean brew has been shown to lower the risk of diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s. As you’ll discover in The Healing Powers of Coffee you don’t even have to drink coffee to reap the health benefits. You can also cook with it or rub it on your skin to savor its healthy goodness!

Wake up to the amazing health
benefits of this ancient remedy

Coffee’s healing powers go back centuries to the ancient monks and healers. Legend has it that Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder, was the first to discover the energizing benefits of the coffee bean plant. When Kaldi’s goats ate coffee berries, the animals experienced crazy amounts of energy which kept them going all night long.

Ease Joint Pain with Coffee. Regina Blackmon did . . . and you could, too.

By drinking a special enhanced coffee like the one named on page 47 in your FREE BOOK, Regina experienced less joint pain — and she’s more alert and less groggy. It gives her energy without zapping her of much-needed hydration.

Discover hundreds more healthy coffee facts in The Healing Powers of Coffee. We’re giving you the book for FREE — a “perk” of being a loyal Newsmax reader.

When the Ethiopian monks saw this, they concocted a drink with the coffee berries to help them stay awake through marathon prayer sessions. It worked!

In 1615, when Pope Clement VIII tasted coffee, he called the drink “heavenly”—but Christians leaders disagreed. They claimed coffee was satanic and named it “devil’s brew.” Turns out the Pope was right! For centuries, this heavenly little bean was used in ancient medicine to help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes—even help prevent gallstones.

Fast forward to today and researchers have discovered there’s a whole host of health benefits linked to coffee.

One Swedish study showed women age 50-74 who were heavy coffee drinkers had a lower risk of developing breast cancer. Turns out, coffee raises the blood levels of a phytochemical linked to a lower risk of estrogen-related breast cancer.

Want to give your liver a fighting chance? Coffee may be just what the doctor ordered. A 2007 study of 240,000 people published in the Journal of Hepatology, showed coffee drinkers had less than a 50% lower risk of developing liver cancer compared to those who didn’t drink coffee.

How many cups did they drink for the protective effect? Find out in your FREE BOOK, The Healing Powers of Coffee on page 53.

More recently, studies have even shown with this superfood you could . . .

Rev up a sluggish metabolism
Increase alertness and mental performance
Relieve asthma and respiratory symptoms
Improve shorter-term memory
Power up your endurance
Lower the risk of type 2 diabetes—up to 54%
Halt the formation of gallstones
Reduce risk of Parkinson’s as much as 40%
Lower chances of colorectal cancer by 24-48%
Reduce the risk of cirrhosis of the liver

Then there’s the buzz in the scientific community about coffee helping you lose weight. Forget the pills, shakes and crazy diets. Get ready to say . . .

Bye-bye bloat, fatty butt and thunder thighs . . .
Hello slim, trim, healthy you.

Ever notice how some people just seem to stay naturally slim—no diets, diet pills or hour-long sessions on the treadmill? Their secret may be coffee.

A natural diuretic, coffee can stimulate water loss. BUT there’s a special secret to dropping those pounds: not just any coffee will help you banish the bloat and drop the weight. You must drink this kind and do this one simple thing.

The fountain of youth that can
help you stay younger longer.

Play your cards right and coffee may be able to help you stall the aging process. How does living well into your golden years, sound? These are just more reasons America’s favorite morning buzz beverage is hailed as the new superfood. Here’s the thing . . .

When researchers went looking, they discovered
WHY coffee is so healthy for you.

According to top scientists and doctors, coffee is loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants. In 2005, when University of Scranton researcher Joe Vinson and his research team analyzed the powerful little bean, they found coffee has more antioxidants than vegetables, fruits and spices! No wonder coffee is the #1 source of antioxidants in the American diet.

Vinson and his team of researchers studied over 100 food and beverages and still, when all was said and done, coffee still came out on top.

Coffee is packed with powerful disease-fighting antioxidants chlorogenic acids and caffeic acids. In fact, you can get as much as 70% of your total dietary intake of these two antioxidants by consuming coffee. But coffee also contains antioxidants like flavonoids, stilbenes, lignans, cinnamic acids and benzoic acids — healthy compounds your body craves.

Coffee is the new “vitamin C”

Interviews with doctors, researchers, and coffee roasters have shown there are 7 powerful antioxidants in coffee — and they’re stronger than vitamin C!

In your FREE BOOK, The Healing Powers of Coffee, you’ll get nearly 50 recipes to help you get your daily dose of antioxidants in coffee, including Coffee Cream Blueberry Scones, Apple Almond Coffee Croissants with Coffee Glaze and Coffee Pork Chops — all delicious and nutritious!

Now it may be 99% water but coffee is 100% good for your health.

Packed chock full of incredibly healthy nutrients, coffee also delivers your body a boatload of good for you vitamins and minerals including zinc, potassium, magnesium, folate, protein calcium, vitamin B6 and iron. And the buzz about coffee’s health benefits doesn’t stop there.

Inside your FREE BOOK, The Healing Powers of Coffee, you’ll discover how coffee can help you . . .

There are dozens and dozens of ways your whole body and mind can benefit from coffee—and they’re all packed inside Cal Orey’s blockbuster new book, The Healing Powers of Coffee.

For instance you can . . .

Lower your cholesterol
with a cup of joe

Like oat bran and apples, coffee is loaded with fiber which can help lower your “bad” LDL cholesterol. That means you could lower your risk of heart disease and help support healthy blood sugar—great news if you suffer with diabetes. Speaking of cholesterol and heart health you can . . .

Lower your blood pressure safely and without meds

Here’s a health shocker: coffee may lower your blood pressure. When type A patients were given a cup of coffee, it was expected their blood pressure would rise. However . . .

Researchers were shocked to find the coffee had a calming effect, lowering blood pressure, making it a heart healthy treat. What’s more, when 155,000 women in a 12-year study published in JAMA drank coffee, results suggested the women who drank caffeinated coffee may have reduced risk of high blood pressure.

Hello Alaska, an Herb Expert Misses You!

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Wed, 20 May 2026 22:05:27 +0000

By Cal Orey

Herbs and spices play a big role in my life and well-being in California. In December 2019, pre-pandemic era, my solo expedition enroute from Lake Tahoe to Alaska aka the “Last Frontier” due to its isolation finally happened. As I traveled through hurricane-force winds, an almost flight diversion to Fairbanks, I anticipated fresh and exciting seasonings, northern lights, and a moose sighting. Sometimes, fantasies are healthier than real life...

In Anchorage at 9:00 a.m., I sat in my hotel room bed on the seventeenth floor overlooking downtown, and Chugach Mountains—but it was dark. The city was shut down due to icy roads, no snow. It was the warmest day since 1952.

I called room service. No freshly squeezed orange juice with fresh mint sprigs or coffee lattes with fresh spices. You will not likely find garden-fresh herbal treasures in December. Blame it on the lack of sunlight. Fresh food is expensive if it’s imported. And that’s not all . . .

The last night I was nursing a sore throat. Blame it on frigid air blowing down on my bed in a pricey suite. I went with the flow… ordered a Greek pizza. It had chunks of real garlic! Another herbal highlight of the Alaska adventure was finding an artisan chocolate shop. I bought a peri-cayenne pepper truffle, caramelized pear saffron chocolate, and a white square of chocolate with pink peppercorn. The cayenne and dark chocolate gave me the gift of those feel-good endorphins and soothed my raw throat that hurt when swallowing. Both garlic and cayenne made me feel better.

Inside My Seasoned Cabin for One Year

These days, I’m dreaming about revisiting Alaska. Ironically, it will be Fairbanks to view the green and blue colored sky also known as the aurora borealis. And dried herbs, such as the parsley, pepper, and paprika will suffice. It took a trip to up north to Alaska for me to appreciate fresh seasonings year-round that I have right at home inside my cabin. But dried herbs and spices are fine. You can’t always get what you want but you get what you need.

Herbs & Spices Book Indeed Has Depth! Notes Author

It's time. Yes! Purchase fresh herbs for fish, pasta, and salad. But don't ignore dried herbs and spices. Their shelf life is much longer than fresh seasonings (budget-friendly)...Mid-Springtime is a perfect time to replenish those cans and jars of your faves... Herbs and spices can last up to a few years but sometimes the aroma and flavor will be less than more. So, freshen up!

Meanwhile, Newsmax is offering The Healing Powers of Herbs and Spices as a GIFT BOOK. And it was unveiled last summer in the July issue of Newsmax Magazine! Yes!

Read Book Review

Although the statistics for heart disease vary, it can be justly concluded to be the most awful killer in our society. Often sneaking up on people unsuspectedly and killing instantly in the form of a heart attack, this unforgiving disease needs to be brought to light – and lessons of survivors have to be shared. This is the underlying theme in the latest of award-winning and prolific author Cal Orey’s books titled, Courage with Paws – The Heart of a Siamese Cat.

Cal Orey tells this story vicariously through the eyes of her Siamese-mix Cat, given the most royal name of Sir Whiskers McPurrington. Living in the high country of Lake Tahoe, one sunny afternoon Sir Whiskers felt odd – short of breath – and his heart began racing. “Rushed to the animal hospital things got serious quickly,” the narration explained. The story goes into an NDE, near-death-experience, telling how Dr. Furryheart saved Sir Whiskers. The doctor recommended surgery saying, “Time is running out, Mr. Whiskers. Your heart is very, very weak.” But “No” said Sir Whiskers, relying on his sixth sense cat-intuition to avoid further risks.

Sir Whiskers was told of a wizardly lion named Professor Pawsworth at BIG UNIVERSITY who performed miracles in medicine. “I can do tricks, A ‘puff-up magic’ gentle heart helper,” Professor Pawsworth roared, “using small Balloons to open up blocked areas in the heart.” I cried, “Yes, fix!”

This of course, is referring to an angioplasty, a minimally invasive procedure to widen narrowed arteries. Once completed, Sir Whiskers McPurrington regained his strength over time, and the book ends with a positive feline feeling of having faced fear and overcoming it with friendship and compassion, enabling him to continue creating art and laughter – “spreading courage with paws far and near.”

Courage with Paws combines many elements showcasing Cal Orey’s finesse of creative writing. Artfully interleaved with excellent illustrations to highlight the theme of the story, along with photographs bringing in credibility of this being a true story, plus with the icing on the cake of having whimsical character names in the genre of Dr. Seuss, the book congeals into an art form with a stern message; that being to understand heart-health. As children are at risk as well, everyone needs to pay attention to this awful disease, which will only grow as a percentage in our population over the decades ahead. This book should be recommended reading in all children’s healthcare organizations as well as family libraries to drill in the importance of heart-health. Remember, not all of us have the cat-like quality of possessing Nine-Lives, so we need to pay attention to the One we have.

Courage with Paws is a must-read for animal lovers and anyone who believes in the profound impact pets can have on our lives. The book offers an uplifting reminder that courage and love are qualities that can transcend species, leaving readers with a renewed appreciation for the animals who touch our hearts in unexpected ways.

Eating honey, Mother Nature’s ancient medicine, can still work its healing magic and help lower the risk of disease—adding quality and years to your life—at any age!

Confessions of a Psychic

noreply@blogger.com (Cal Orey, Author-Intuitive) — Fri, 15 May 2026 22:48:41 +0000

By Cal Orey

So, exactly how in the world did I, a veteran author and natural Earth changes prognosticator, end up being a live part-time phone psychic anyhow?

Blame it on the Great Recession hit (yes, I predicted it). In the winter of 2010, I called a psychic (or 10) to ask, "When is a foreign rights check for my books coming--and how much?" The answers I got were zany, including "one million dollars"! I offered three realistic choices, "Choose one." And that's when I called a psychic network manager and predicted: "I can do better."
After all, I thought, "Since I was 8, people have noticed my sensitive nature and uncanny sixth sense. After I penned the book 'The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes,' I began dishing out quake predictions on national radio shows. Reading people and the challenges that rock their world is no different."

And now I'm one of countless psychic adviser voices who charge by the minute to tune into people and be their personal Magic Eight Ball. (I've received hundreds of positive reviews. Also, I'm tagged as the "time frame" reader with dishes dates. Yes, I'm accurate about 80 percent of the time.

Tuning In to the Faraway Caller
No, I do not use incense, hold a crystal ball or provide spells. I'm often in the company of two sensitive dogs and one black cat (they relax me), and listening to alternative music when the phone rings. I am connected to a caller who is often sad, upset or confused. And, yes, this job can be stressful as well as rewarding. Think healer.

Once I hear a voice, it sets the stage. Often I can pick up if the call is from the West Coast, South, Northeast, Canada, Trinidad, New Zealand or Australia. And it's not always the accents. It's my animal-like intuition that kicks in from the get go. But there's more ...

Hello, Mother Nature
I use the planets as a baseline, lunar cycles (emotions and calls soar during the New and Full Moon), and a tarot card to get an objective read, which often coincides with what I've picked up with my gut instinct. As a super-sensitive woman, I can predict callers' questions by tuning into their voice, energy and words.

I can also pick up why I'm being contacted, the age of a person, their sun sign (but sometimes I do ask; usually they end up being on the cusp of two signs). If I'm challenged by a skeptical caller, it can end up in a murky reading or a hang-up. It used to hurt my feelings, but nowadays, I sip chamomile tea until the next ring.

I can sense if the caller is sincere -- and then it's show time. Sometimes, the paranormal activity kind of cues I get send chills through my body. The caller feels it, too. That means that I tapped into their psyche and we connected, big-time.

I Can Feel Your Vibrations
Both my callers and I are often surprised that I know things, such as if he or she has a toothache or heartache. The most common problem I am faced with is unrequited love (one-sided romance) -- and it hurts. How do you say, "He or she isn't that much into you?" and/or "Move on for true happiness" -- especially when the caller has her ego wounded, fears being alone or is anxious about the unknown.

I do offer positive advice and words of preparedness for upcoming events (even if a caller can't see what I'm talking about yet). I tell it like it is because saying good things doesn't always bring good or accurate results. It's like saying, "A quake won't hit" when I'm looking at the USGS map, watching an aggressive swarm on an active fault, and the caller is located at the epicenter of a country in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Fire, Earth, Water and Air Signs
Speaking of Earth elements, how do I know if a caller is a Fire, Earth, Water or Air sign? A fire sign is direct and intense, and if the topic is touchy, I can feel their heated emotions (my clavicle often aches). Earth signs are reserved, a bit shy and need a nudge to be real. I can pick up the vibe of passionate water signs' feelings and understand they want me to confirm what they know. And air signs are analytical, good communicators and have a sixth sense, but are hesitant to tune into their gut instincts.

Two days ago, a woman asked me if her sibling would survive a challenging surgical procedure. I strongly sensed "yes." Tonight, I got the answer. I was spot on. I signed on to take another call. I'm sensing the phone will ring within 15 minutes.

Oh, and if you're wondering why, if I'm so psychic, I didn't know when my book check was in the mail, the reason is this: Sometimes it can be tricky to get an accurate read on your own life. Psychic advisers frequently turn to their colleagues (or tarot cards) for an objective outlook, the way I look to the moon and planets to tell me what other people have in store.

There goes the phone, right on time. So, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll take that call.

Honey 2 Author Speaks Out on Pound-Paring for Spring Wellness

Shedding Winter Weight with a Cuppa Tea & Honey

By Cal Orey, M.A.

I recall swimming at the local pool, feeling the water’s weight as I reached for the deck. When I tried to hoist myself up, my arms faltered—a jarring realization hit: “I look like a beached whale!” I blamed my vegetarian diet and my weakness for baked sweets, but the truth was deeper. Fast-forward to a lifestyle pivot: I swapped the sugar for lean protein and committed to daily movement. The extra weight didn't just vanish; my cravings disappeared, my muscle tone returned, and the scale finally settled at a number that felt like home.

I learned during my diet and nutrition columnist days for Woman’s World magazine, dumping those extra 2–5 pounds is more than just a number on a scale. Shedding extra winter weight reduces inflammation, improves heart function, and keeps blood sugar levels steady (at any age).

The 5-Step Sierra Shed

1. Prioritize Protein (The Muscle Anchor) Think of fat-burning protein as your "base camp" nutrition. Whether it’s a chilly or warm day, protein maintains muscle mass while you shed fat. Focus on eggs or low sugar Greek yogurt in the morning. The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommend 20–40 g of protein per meal. Spring Tip: Keep pre-portioned nuts at your desk to avoid the "pantry-grazing" trap during computer hours.

2. Fiber Up (The Natural Satiety) Fiber acts like a slow-burning log in a wood stove, keeping you satisfied. Start eating more fresh berries with seeds and fiber-rich salads with lentils Spring Tip: Sip a cup of metabolism-boosting premium coffee with low-fat milk, keeping you energized until lunch.

3. Resistance Training (The Mountain Engine) Forego the gym, use the "Sierra Slant"—add daily movements with barbells, and leg lifts into your day. Resistance training revs up your fat burning power. Spring Tip: Do 10 squats or row/cycle for five-minute breaks. It keeps the blood flowing and the muscles engaged.

4. Hydration (The Metabolic Lubricant): In spring, to stave off false hunger drink herbal teas and infuse water with mint leaves or citrus. Swap sugar with a bit of raw honey. Spring Tip: Use a simple sticky note on your computer monitor to ensure you are sipping H2O regularly.

5. Caloric Alignment (The Seasonal Shift) Your body’s metabolic needs shift with the seasons. In the spring, align your meals with the longer days, eating your largest meal at lunch and tapering off as the sun sets. Spring Tip: Use smaller plates to control portion sizes, to prevent overeating and get lean like a seal for summer days ahead.
