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

 

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

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!...
