The Healing Powers of Honey -- #1 Top Rated Book Label (Amazon)

  The Healing Powers of Honey has been graced with the Best Seller banner for more than three weeks in 2024--both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. #1 Top Rated Book Label in spring of 2025... It's the superfood for summer!

It is impossible to listen to this narration of The Healing Powers of Honey by author Cal Orey on audiobook without going to the cupboard and pouring a cup of hot tea, and of course, adding a heaping teaspoon of honey into it.  The soothing taste and coating of honey is talked about in so many ways, thus while listening and sipping the tea, it makes for an amazing multi-dimensional learning scenario, having both your brain and body absorbing the true nectar of the gods.  What’s more than revealing the facts is the way Cal Orey interleaves her own life’s adventures into describing her quest of gaining the background information to compile the facts about honey into this highly specialized enlightening guide.

The story begins with the author taking on the project of doing a book about honey by the request of her publisher.  Listeners are brought to the planning stage of how Cal Orey organized her research to achieve what she is known for; as being a down-to-Earth presenter of health benefits of various food substances.  Honey follows her repertoire as she has demonstrated with vinegar, olive oil, chocolate, and other healing books.  Nobody is born with honey knowledge, so she first acquired every book she could find on the subject, then arranged for meetings with bee keepers in Fresno, Reno, and other places.  So as a listener, I found the tome of the narration as having a quality of discovery, as new factoids are learned and shared, making this story a journey of discovery.

“A Hippie Chick,” as she often referrers to herself as being, due to her expert knowledge of organic health foods, understanding their therapeutic effects having antioxidants, allowing for stress relieving, blood pressure control, diabetes cure, heart fortitude, and even helping lower the risk of cancer, honey fits right in at the top of God’s gifts to humanity – or should I say the Bee’s gift.  Her ‘textbook’ parts of the book when she is educating listeners (readers) on the many types of honey, their relative histories and specialized qualities, and somewhat magical powers are explained with describing each varieties’ color, taste, and even how best to pair it up with other food items.  Then, of course, she adds her own commentary to each of the about 30 variations of honey – that’s when I began to google the online stores to buy my own bouquet of flavors.

Some diversion to the author’s factual narration on the honey subject was most sentimentally touched upon with the stories of her dog(s).  At one point she talks about traveling all around the USA from California to Key West with her K-9 companion, and even smuggling the dog into Canada because she didn’t have the correct documents at the border – now that’s “chutzpah!”  She then talks about having a 6th sense when someone commented, “Nice dog” to her, only to find the dog missing after she tied it up outside a building for only a few minutes.  The sadness, crying, and sensation of loss was contagious.  A few months later she was “rescued” by a lab with sympathetic eyes in San Diego, and life with a dog partner took a happier path.

Honey is amazing.  The antibacterial properties makes it ideal for fighting off any bacterial infection, both inside and outside the body, as it is known for enhancing and protecting the skin and healing wounds.  Forget Pepto-Bismol, eat honey to cure suffering from diarrhea.  Heart healthy, even helping diabetics (which seems odd due to honey’s sweetness) as well as hypertension, lowering cholesterol and even aiding longevity, plus weight loss and libido enhancement are all benefits of this golden nectar.  Thank you, bees.

I must admit I did not know the vast variety of types of honey; yes, Clover is popular, and Van Morrison introduced me to Tupelo Honey, but Cal talks about Alfalfa Honey being native to Northern Nevada, and Buckwheat Honey being very powerful with antioxidants.  She thought Fireweed Honey might have been bitter yet was pleasantly surprised by its flavor.  I never would have thought Avocado Honey existed, and Dandelion, nor Eucalyptus – I guess I need to walk down the health-food isles in Whole Foods a bit more slowly next time.

It may seem as if I am making light of the subject, but that is how I perceived Cal Orey takes the sting out of being a dry educational presentation, and embellishes her work with her humble wisdom and incredible stories which she has gained on so many other subjects.  Just like blending honey into bakery items, combined it with cinnamon for holistic healing, or dissolving it in a tea, smoothie or drink, honey’s versatility and benefits are un-bee-livable.

Reviewer’s footnote:  Having the audiobook version of this bestselling book, the narration by Tara Marie Kirk was very clear and fluid, not missing a beat with those 5-syllable Latin names of the specific varieties, however as a personal preference I played it back at 1.25 speed, slightly picking up the pace for my listening pleasure, and cutting the play-time from just over 8 hours to about 6 hours.

The Return of Yellow Pesky Powder at Lake Tahoe

 News | Jun 22, 2025

Cal Orey, M.A. Tahoe Daily Tribune It’s back! Every June, the eerie yellow pollen arrives, an unwelcome guest dusting everything in sight. Reaching for a tissue and a plan, I brace myself for the season. During my research for the honey book, a Reno beekeeper, eager to introduce me to his new queen bees, shared his wisdom about nature’s nectar. I left with a jar of his golden honey, and, following his advice, I took a daily tablespoon of the local product. Honey experts suggested that consuming local honey could help my immune system adapt to the local pollen, reducing allergy miseries. Whether it was the honey, or a combo of tactics, I found myself better equipped to face the yellow powder that coated my world on the South Shore.

The presence of yellow pollen in the Lake Tahoe area during early summer is a common phenomenon. Here’s its potential health impacts, and tips to adapt to the yucky yellow stuff.

So, What is Yellow Pollen, Anyhow? Yellow pollen in the Tahoe area, in early summer, is primarily from pine trees. Pine trees are prolific pollen producers, and their pollen is easily spread by the wind. The result: Tell-tale yellow dust that can coat your car, yard, clothes, and even be visible on the lake’s surface. 

Is the Yucky Powder Unhealthy? Nah, but it can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, like me, and maybe you. Symptoms of tree pollen allergies include sneezing, itchy eyes, throat, and watery eyes. Blame it on the body’s immune system overreacting to the pollen, releasing histamine that causes inflammation.

How to Deal with Yellow Pollen: Check local pollen forecasts: (AccuWeather website) to anticipate high pollen days. Keep Windows and Doors Closed: This helps prevent pollen from entering your home. Shower and Change Clothes: After being outdoors, shower and change clothes to zap pollen. Try Allergy Medications: Over-the-counter antihistamines can help alleviate symptoms. Consider an Air Purifier (or two): An air purifier with a HEPA filter can help remove pollen from indoor air. And consider what you consume, too…

Anti-Pollen Diet: Hydration: Drinking plenty of water and tea to help thin nasal mucus and ease congestion. Vitamin C-rich foods: Some studies suggest Vitamin C may have antihistamine properties. Consider citrus fruits, berries, and bell peppers. Probiotic-rich foods: Probiotics may help curb the immune response. Yogurt is a good source.

Honey to the Rescue: Go ahead—drizzle honey in your yogurt, like I do. Check out local honey producers. Warning: To avoid infant botulism, don’t feed honey to a baby who is younger than one year.

In a nutshell, by July sometime the yellow dust will say goodbye and you’ll be ready for other summertime air quality culprits—but you’ll be better prepared.

Navigating the Tourist Tide for a Healthy Getaway

 Tahoe Summer--the Real Scoop

News | Jun 16, 2025 Tahoe Daily Tribune

Cal Orey, M.A.

Trading the familiar alpine air of Tahoe for a change of scenery, I envisioned a sanctuary for my canine and feline companions, seeking refuge from the crowds and a breath of pristine air. Clear Lake beckoned. The reality, however, presented a different narrative. The air quality, while improved, wasn’t the panacea I’d hoped for, and the mercury soared to a scorching 107 degrees. While the tourist pressure was less intense than Tahoe, the heat proved a tough opponent. This experience sparked a realization: perhaps the key to thriving summers at Tahoe, both physically and mentally, lies not in escaping the challenges of a place, but in mastering the art of adaptation and resilience, even when faced with less-than-ideal conditions. Sure, the surge of tourists can impact both the physical and mental well-being of local residents and visitors alike. Several factors can contribute to an unhealthy Tahoe vacay or staycation. 5 Obstacles That Can Be a Downer OVERCROWDING: Traffic gridlock, and long lines Can lead to high stress. This can trigger the release of cortisol, the stress hormone, which, if elevated, can weaken the immune system, and increase the risk of summer viruses.POOR AIR QUALITY… Increased traffic can worsen air and water quality. Exposure to air pollution can exacerbate respiratory problems, while contaminated water can lead to illness.SCARCITY RISK: Tourist influx can strain food supplies, and parking. Translation: Food shortages, longer waiting times for medical care, which can negatively impact health. LOUD RUCKUS: Increased noise levels from traffic, construction, and crowds can disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to stress and anxiety. GERM SPREAD: Too much human interaction can spread germs. This is true in crowded environments where hygiene practices may be compromised. Tahoe Local’s Savvy Tips to Serenity Plan Ahead: Stay clear of peak tourist hours. Consider running errands early in the a.m., or later in the p.m. This can reduce stress. For example, in Tahoe, the grocery store runs before 9 a.m., or after 6 pm. Embrace Off-Peak Activities: Seek out lesser-known attractions that are less popular with tourists. This can reduce exposure to crowds. In Tahoe, explore trails on the East Shore or visit beaches on the West Shore. Maintain a Healthy Diet and Hydration: Stock up on your fave snacks and drinks to avoid long lines. This is particularly important in Tahoe, where food prices can soar during peak season. Protect Your Physical Health: Wear appropriate footwear, use sunscreen, and be aware of your surroundings. In Tahoe, this means being prepared for changing weather conditions, bugs and bears. Your Best Bet: Stay up-to-date on local events and traffic conditions so you can stay healthier while facing hurdles during your great Tahoe escape. P.S. If you're a local, find your happy place for peace of mind.CAL OREY, M.A., is a bestselling author-novelist specializing in topics such as adventure, health, nutrition, and science.

Earthquake Coming? Ask Your Cat!

 Shaking Up Health: Tahoe’s Tremors’ Prep Guide

By Cal Orey, M.A. Tahoe Daily Tribune

My Orange Tabby is Seismically Sensitive!  He Sensed the Reno-Tahoe Imminent Shaker! And two minutes before the 5.8 jolt hit and was felt in Northern California...

It was a typical afternoon on December 9th, 2024, when my big orange tabby decided that the closet was the most fascinating place in my cabin. As I watched him paw at the door in the hallway with intensity, my phone rang. It was by sibling calling to chat, I thought. Just as I picked up the cell phone it vibrated violently on the chair. The ShakeAlert notification blared ominously: an earthquake was imminent! In that split second, I had to plan. I quickly set my laptap down on the floor, far away from the bottled water, and bolted toward the dining room where my study wooden table stood like a fortress against nature’s whims.

I dropped to the floor and covered my head with my arms, heart pounding like a solo at a rock concert. The shaking began—strong rolling waves that made me feel like I was on a rough boat ride in the Lake. Forget seasick; I felt like I was auditioning for a part in Titanic. As the tremor stopped and silence returned (aside from barking dogs outdoors and my racing heartbeat), I took a moment to breathe deeply and regain composure.

Once it felt safe to emerge from under the table, I logged onto my computer to see be welcomed by the data: a 5.8 at Yerington, Nevada; and reports were rolling in that the shallow quake had been felt in Reno, Sacramento, and Lake Tahoe… I gathered myself and decided it would be wise to prepare an ER Go Bag and checklist for peace of mind. After all, Lake Tahoe, known for its natural beauty, is also situated in a seismically active region. Here, take a look at health-savvy earthquake preparedness safety tips…

Before the Shake: Get Ready!

ü  Sign up for earthquake alerts on your phone: (Watch your cat or dog’s odd behavior, too!—so you’ll know when a quake may be coming.)

ü  Make an Emergency Kit: Prepare a health-focused ER kit with water, non-perishable snacks, first aid supplies, and any med you may need for you and your pet.

ü  Do Pet Prep: Keep your pets’ essentials handy—food, water, cat crate, dog leash, and comfort items. Animals (like my cat) can often sense changes in the environment, so let them have a safe space.

During the Quake: Stay Safe!

ü  Drop, Cover, Hold On:  When the shaking starts, drop to your hands and knees to prevent falling down or being in harm’s way with glass or heavy furniture. Cover your head and neck under sturdy furniture if available or use your arms to protect yourself.

ü  Think Pet Safety: If you have pets with you, keep them close and reassure them with a soothing voice.

ü  Chill Out: Don’t log onto your computer during the tremor, wait until the shaking stops and you are safe.

After the Tremor: Check-In!

ü  Explore Your Surroundings: Once the temblor is over (remember, aftershocks can and do occur), check for injuries (to yourself and others) and ensure it’s safe to move around.

ü  Hydrate & Nourish: Drink water (calms the nerves) and eat something light (if you feel queasy like I did) to maintain energy levels after the stress of an earthquake.

ü  Tune In Mental Health Matters: Talk about what happened with friends or family; sharing experiences can help reduce anxiety.

By following these health tips before, during, and after an earthquake, you’ll be better prepared to handle Mother Nature’s moves. (Find out more about earthquake preparedness and animals sensing oncoming earthquakes in The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes, by Cal Orey, published by Sentient.)

Tea Powers

 Summer tea at Tahoe: Lakeside breeze

News | Jun 9, 2025  Cal Orey, M.A. Tahoe Daily Tribune

Ah, the sweet memories of summers past! I once penned the definitive guide to tea, a bible of brews. Now, with June gracing us as National Iced Tea Month, it’s the perfect moment to revisit those days of tea-sipping bliss. Back then, my doorstep was a constant parade of tea boxes, complimentary gifts from the industry’s titans. I was, quite simply, in tea heaven, joyfully exploring the refreshing universe of teas and herbal infusions. These delightful concoctions promised to elevate our summer wellness from head to toe. And here in Tahoe, where the sun blazes, and the air is crisp, a well-crafted cup of tea is the ideal companion for any outdoor adventure. It’s a refreshing experience.

SUNRISE BLACK TEA: Black tea is touted for its robust flavor and variety of health perks. It helps in improving heart health by reducing the risk of heart diseases. How it Works: The antioxidants in black tea, such as theaflavins, help in lowering cholesterol levels and improving blood vessel function. Summer Way to Fix: To enjoy black tea in the summer, brew a strong cup, let it cool, and serve it over ice with a slice of lemon. You can also add mint leaves for an extra refreshing twist. Why Super for Summer in Tahoe: At Tahoe, where outdoor activities like hiking and biking are “in”, black tea can be a great way to rejuvenate. Its caffeine content offers an energy boost for long summer days. Black tea is a great choice for summer wellness, offering a healthy and cheap beverage for indoors and outdoors.

AFTERNOON GREEN TEA: Green tea is known for its high antioxidant content. It aids in weight loss by boosting burning fat! How it Works: The catechins in green tea, particularly EGCG, help increase the body’s metabolic rate. Summer Way to Fix: For a chill summer drink, brew green tea, chill it, and serve it iced. Add slices of orange or a few berries for added flavor. Why Super for Summer in Tahoe: Green tea can be awesome at Tahoe, where staying active and maintaining a healthy weight is easier surrounded by nature encouraging a healthier lifestyle. Green tea is an excellent choice to help you stay fit and healthy during summer at Tahoe.

SUNSET WHITE TEA: White tea is the least processed among all tea types, making it rich in antioxidants. White tea helps in protecting the skin from sun damage. How it Works: The antioxidants in white tea combat free radicals by UV exposure, thus protecting the skin. Summer Way to Fix: To savor white tea in the summer, steep it in cold water for a few hours, then strain and serve chilled. You can add a splash of lemon or lime for extra flavor. Why Super for Summer in Tahoe: At Tahoe, where sun exposure can be intense due to the high altitude, white tea can be a great addition to your summer wellness routine, helping protect your skin. White tea offers a delicate beverage for summer wellness at Tahoe.

I can personally attest black, white, and green tea grace my kitchen pantry All three are my tea friends during the daytime. But it’s cup of mellow chamomile at night that is my favorite herbal tea to complement summer evenings.

WHY coffee is so healthy for you.[image error]

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!

#1 Amazon Top Rated Label--The Healing Powers of Honey

 Is Honey the New Golden

Goddess of Good Health?

Praised for its amazing ability to heal the body, the ancient “nectar of the gods” may just be a 21st century healing miracle — the closest thing we have to a “cure-all” for dozens of ailments from heart disease and heartburn to insomnia, low libido, fatigue, cough and cold, headaches, and more.

If you’re a weight loss warrior, this gooey golden syrup can even help flatten your belly and whittle your waist!

Surprisingly, 50% of Americans have this nourishing nectar in their kitchen cupboard. Chances are, you do, too, but you haven’t even begun to tap into its healing powers. More than a sweetener for tea and toast, this ancient superfood has been scientifically shown to help:

Lower blood sugar and prevent blood sugar swingsLower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes [image error] Curb sweet cravingsStop insomniaImprove regularity — no more constipationHeal cuts, scrapes, and woundsStop annoying tics and twitchesEase asthma and allergiesRelease tensionRelieve coughs, colds, and fluSend pain packingBlast body fatProtect your eyesKeep gallstones awayGive headaches the bootRelieve heartburnFight wrinklesAnd much moreWhat is this amazing sweet healer?

Nature’s honey. Yes — the same honey that comes from a flower’s nectar consumed by the honeybee.

A biblical favorite, honey was used as far back as 5,000 years ago by Egyptian physicians and in traditional Chinese medicine. It was so prized that Egyptian pharaohs were buried with jars of this golden syrup to sustain them in the afterlife.

In ancient Greece and Rome, the nectar of the gods was revered for its ability to calm coughing, heal wounds, rid the body of lice, and stop earaches, as well as heal hemorrhoids. Later, North American colonists would use honey not just for medicinal purposes, but to prepare food, preserve fruit, and even make glue!

Today we know that honey is dripping in disease-fighting antioxidants — and it naturally contains a built-in antiseptic that acts as a gentle healer and powerful bacteria-fighter. This golden goddess of good health is used for healing and cooking as well as in cosmetics, beauty treatments, soaps, and candles.

In her book, The Healing Powers of Honey, bestselling author Cal Orey draws on interviews with doctors, researchers, and beekeepers to reveal the true power of this golden nectar. One of the best parts is . . .

Embracing a Healthy Type B Lifestyle

Tahoe vibe menu: Embracing a healthy Type B lifestyle

News | Jun 3, 2025

Cal Orey, M.A.During my first trip to the South Shore it was my playground, and I was on a mission to conquer it. I worked around the clock on my book, grilled locals for insider tips, and scouted neighborhoods like a hawk searching for its new nest. My Type A personality, inherited from my mom, was in overdrive, fueled by a relentless drive to achieve my goals ASAP.

As history tells it, Type A and Type B personalities were labeled by a top cardio doc back in the fifties. Type As are driven, ambitious, and impatient. On the other hand, easy-going Type Bs are less competitive, and can-do stuff tomorrow.

The findings: Type As are more prone to stress-related health issues, such as heart disease, whereas. Type Bs tend to be healthier because they have lower levels of stress. But note, Type A’s often show higher motivation, and stress resilience. Still, there are ways to find a balance.

4 Spring-Summer Soothing Foods/Beverages

Here are 4 spring-summer foods/beverages that can help a Type A personality to go with the flow and achieve both Type A and Type B traits.

1.Lake Life: Cucumber and Spinach Salad—a refreshing mix of cucumber, spearmint, and fresh spinach;(it’s calming due to its magnesium, folate, which contribute to reducing anxiety. Cucumbers are hydrating and rich in antioxidants, while mint can help calm the digestive system and reduce stress.

2. Sleep Savior: Tart Cherry Juice—a natural source of melatonin, promoting a good night’s sleep: Tart cherries contain anthocyanins, which have been shown to reduce inflammation like fatty fish and promote better sleep. Speaking of more shuteye…

3. Calm in a Cup: Chamomile-Lavender Tea—a herbal remedy for anxiety and insomnia, backed by studies. Known for its calming effects, iced chamomile tea can soothe the mind and body, reducing stress and anxiety.

4. Hydrate and Unwind: Watermelon Mint Smoothie: Watermelon is hydrating and rich in vitamin C, while peppermint adds a calming effect. This smoothie can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.

By adding these refreshing superfoods into a diet regime, a Type A personality can adopt healthier habits associated with Type B personalities.

To add more tips to get a laid-back lifestyle, consider: Chill Out: Meditate or practice deep breathing exercises. Enjoy leisure activities help you to deplug. Set realistic goals and stay clear of feeling overwhelmed. Cultivate a positive social network with supportive people and pets. Stop and sniff the wildflowers or take a trip to the lake or ocean–the Type B way to roll at Tahoe.
