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 . . .

Cultivating a Green Space, a Personal Plant Collection

 Plant some green air

News | May 27, 2025

Cal Orey  Tahoe Daily Tribune
Twenty-five years back, upon establishing roots in South Shore, I initiated a deliberate intervention: cultivating a dedicated green space, a personal plant collection. As time progressed, this botanical foothold expanded claiming territory on the deck with potted specimens–maples, aspens, even lavender. The outcome wasn’t merely aesthetic; I uncovered a truth: actively engaging greenery wasn’t just nurturing plants…This connection to nature is an observation that gardening can do so much more!

Did you know plants can absorb toxic compounds and provide improve air quality? Being in the presence of plants and trees has been linked to reduced stress levels, lower blood pressure, and decreased heart rate. And nurturing plants and trees can be good medicine for you, especially during summer when windows might be closed due to heat or allergens. Take a look at the power of green air…

Top 5 Plants/Trees…Mind/Body Perks

1. Aspen-Outdoor Deck: Aspen trees are native to the Tahoe region and are suited to the climate. Young trees can be kept in large pots. Watching its vibrant green leaves in summer, golden-yellow foliage in fall, provides a link to seasonal changes and the rhythm of the natural world, fostering a sense of place and grounding.

2. Maple-Outdoor Deck: These native species, like Aspen, grow well on the deck and in large pot. Maples boast super colors. The visual pleasure of the tree’s structure, the changing colors of its leaves through the season, can provide a sense of calm, and enhance mood.

3. Snake Plant-Indoor: A popular and hardy houseplant (I’ve had one for years) does well in our homes with lower light and dry air. Studies by NASA show they can remove toxins from the air, which can lower anxiety related to indoor air quality and support respiratory health.

4. Lavender-Outdoors: Lavender are resilient for Tahoe’s climate and can grow in containers on a deck. The scent released from the plant, when warmed by the sun, can have an effect on relaxation. Having a lavender plant (or several!) on the deck, provides stress reduction via aromatherapy.

5. Spider Plant-Indoor: A popular and easy-to-grow houseplant known for its “spiderettes” or “baby” plantets are good for the mind/body, too. Research suggests that the presence of plants in a workspace can help with mind fatigue. Having a spider plant indoors may also contribute to aiding in concentration and focus during tasks.

The golden rule of green thumb at Tahoe is, after Memorial Day it’s time to get busy with your plants and trees for their versatile qualities and positive effects on your well-being.

Nature's Rx to Chill

 Nature’s Rx to unplug and unwind

News 

Cal Orey Tahoe Daily Tribune

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Instead of turning to unhealthy behavior, there is a natural remedy that offers fast chillaxing results.  Getting back to Mother Nature is a prescribed medicine. Tuning into “green” environment is the new “nature pill” for relaxation and well-being. Take a peek of how nature’s finest remedies can work for you.Chillax with Calming Plant-Based Foods. Stressful circumstances can trigger the need to reach for comforting foods. Nutritionists recommend munching apples because these natural tranquilizers”—can trigger “happy chemicals” such as dopamine and serotonin. Studies on superfoods that contain feel good chemicals show this may be true. Also, spicy foods like hot chili peppers, a super herb, can boost your brain’s release of feel-good endorphins and reduce anxiety. Credit is given to its compound capsaicin. Plus, a cup of Joe (in moderation due to its caffeine) which comes from seeds of a tree, stimulates the release of dopamine, the brain neurotransmitter when released can lessen stress. Plus, past research shows potatoes, a root vegetable, revs up levels of serotonin — nature’s Prozac.Take a Whiff of Nature’s Scents. You can also alleviate stress by smelling nature’s scent-sational smells. The olfactory response is directly linked to the emotional center of the brain. The smell of pine trees provides a feel-good boost. Research reveals feelings such as tranquility that stem from smell and the limbic system—or pleasure center of the brain that controls your memory. Nice smells like fresh spices like cinnamon and herbs such as rosemary or clean mountain air provide a sense of calm.Enjoy the Great Outdoors for R&R. Getting out into in nature, absorbing natural light, can boost your spirit, too, thanks to serotonin, doctors will tell you. Escaping a work environment can help you to get out of your mind, release stressors, and connects you to nature. Past research discovered that people walking in a forest had lower blood pressure and levels of cortisol (the stress hormone). The findings: Twenty minutes spent walking outdoors connects you to nature and can lower the levels of stress hormones in the body.Stress-free Bed Behavior. Did you know lack of sleep depletes energy and frazzle nerves? To fall asleep, follow these basic bedtime rules: Listen to a sleep sound machine for sound sleeping, or enjoy the tinkle of an early fall rain to sounds of silence. Drink a cup of herbal tea. Keep the temperature at 60-67 F. Open the shades to wake up to natural light.

Simply put, eating fresh food, inhaling nature’s smells, tuning into savoring the great outdoors whether it’s going to the lake, park, or woods and your yard or porch can work wonders. Nature heals. It’s the new chill pill prescription doctors are prescribing in the 21st century.

Pawsitive Vibes         

Researchers say dogs and cats can help you chill. Four-leggers can help reduce anxiety and stress by providing “the relaxation response”—in other words, a physiological state of deep rest. Dog walking is a great physical activity for you and your best friend; getting regular exercise helps boost feel-good endorphins just like when you swim or workout. Also, felines and canines can help us slow down. In doing so, blood pressure is reduced. A cat’s purr or dog’s companionship can actually cause a sense of calm.

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.

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.

SOS to Protect Yourself from Unhealthy Air

 SOS to protect yourself from unhealthy air: Foods and beverages for poor air quality

Healthy Tahoe | May 19, 2025

Cal Orey M.A.In my twenties, I ventured to the South Shore with my dog, eager to bask in the sun. But I recall our fun trip was affected by surrounding wildfires affecting the Tahoe Basin. The sky was a dull grey, devoid of sunshine, and found myself lamenting, “I can’t get a tan.” Unbeknownst to me, the unhealthy air posed risks not only to my health but also to my dog’s well-being. All I could sense was that the once-pure mountain air had vanished, casting a shadow over our escapade.

Fast forward to present-day in the springtime…Did you know poor air quality can affect both your body and mind? Even when you can’t see smoke or particles in the air, harmful pollutants can still be present and cause or worsen health issues. Breathing in these pollutants can lead to symptoms like a sore throat, itchy eyes, headaches, and sneezing.

Worse, the irritants can inflame your respiratory system. Prolonged exposure to unhealthy air can contribute to anxiety and stress. It’s important to stay informed about air quality to protect your health for you, your kids, and pets.

Why is the Tahoe Basin Vulnerable to Dark Skies?

The Tahoe Basin can have bad air, especially in late spring, summer, and fall, even when there are no wildfires. Blame poor air quality on a few reasons: mountain geography trapping pollutants, temperature inversions keeping bad air close to the ground, increased traffic and development during tourist seasons, natural dust from dry conditions, and pollen from plants in spring and summer.

Foods and Beverages for Poor Air Quality

Here’s a list of what to consume, and why they are beneficial.

Fruits and Vegetables: Berries are rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation in the lungs.Leafy Greens: High in vitamins they may help fight oxidative stress caused by poor air quality.Citrus Fruits: Packed with vitamin C, which is known to bolster the immune system may help mitigate respiratory issues.Nuts and Seeds: Contain omega-3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties good for heart health.Whole Grains: Provide essential nutrients that support heart health.Fatty Fish: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Beverages: Green tea contains antioxidants that may improve lung function and reduce inflammation. Water helps thin mucus in the airways making it easier to breathe.

Savvy Tips for Managing Indoor Air Quality

Use Air Purifiers: HEPA filters can trap particulate matter from smoke.

Close Windows and Doors: This prevents outdoor pollutants from entering your home.

Be ready for wildfires that impact air quality.

Monitor Air Quality Resources: airnow.gov and Accuweather South Lake Tahoe

By focusing on these dietary and practical tips, you can better manage your health during periods of poor air conditions caused by wildfires or other environmental factors.

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.

[image error]

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 . . .

 The 20 Most Surprising Superfoods for Amazing Health!

 

Eggs, fish oil, butter, coconut oil . . . one minute they’re good for you and the next they’re not. Food fads make it tough to know what’s truly healthy. Eat it, don’t eat it. It helps, no wait, it doesn’t help.

Medical doctors and researchers are constantly making new discoveries about food that change conventional thinking.

With so much conflicting science, how do you know which foods really have incredible healing powers?

If you want to outsmart heart disease, cognitive decline, or even lung troubles without giving up your favorite foods . . . this is the book for you.

Contrary to popular belief, superfoods aren’t just for health nuts. They’re for everyone who wants to enjoy a healthier heart, a stronger brain, clear lungs and sinuses, lower cholesterol, and reduced pain — as well as give the boot to colds and flu, soothe dry skin, feel more energized, and live longer.

One of the most important things you can do with the NEW Top 20 superfoods: Boost your immunity. A balanced immune system is essential to living a healthy life.

Boost your immune systemSupport a healthy heartBuild strong bonesStrengthen your cognitive healthMaintain healthy blood sugarPower up your energyFight fatLower blood pressureLower the risk of heart diseaseSlow the aging processPromote healthy visionEase anxiety and stress 

If foods like acai, maca, or garlic come to mind when you hear the word “superfood,” you’re in for a surprise!

While these superfoods are nutritionally dense and good for your health . . . end the confusion once and for all with The Healing Powers of Superfoods.

Written by Cal Orey, author of the bestselling Healing Powers of Honey, this blockbuster book is based on the latest scientific studies showing dozens of surprising superfoods and juices you never knew could help you get healthy and stay healthy — even cheese, chocolate, and ice cream!

The Healing Powers of Superfoods reveals the top 20 superfoods which are loaded with antioxidants, polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids, and minerals and vitamins with powerful immune-boosting and disease-preventing properties.

The Secret to a Long, Healthy Life
Is Sitting in Your Grocery Shelf

There are loads of other, lesser-known taste-tempting, belly-filling foods with the power to restore health, wellness, and energy to the body. There are even foods that have been on your plate all along — you just didn’t know they were nutrient-dense.

Take gelato and shellfish — once considered too fatty or too high in cholesterol and sodium, they've been determined to be good for you and they taste great. They’re today’s “new” superfoods! Shrimp alone have 17 grams of protein and almost one-third the recommended daily allowance of vitamin D — an important vitamin millions of people are lacking. You need all the “D” you can get for strong bones and teeth.

You know those potatoes you serve up as a side with a juicy steak or your favorite chicken dish? Surprise — they’re immunity-boosting powerhouses!

Not just fat-free and a great source of potassium for your heart health, these super spuds are also packed with vitamin A, a powerful immune booster. Medical researchers also believe this potato can boost white blood cell activity, which is key to warding off certain cancers.

All of the details you need about super taters — including some great ways to use them in recipes — are on page 104 of your FREE book.

Guess what? A food doesn’t have to be
perfectly “clean” to be a superfood.

Think about how you enjoy that big bowl of decadent gelato. So creamy and smooth, yet this sweet treat has less fat and more natural ingredients than ice cream.

Add some of this yummy chocolate or any of the great mix-in suggestions on page 63 and it’s like you went to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard swirled with your favorite mix-ins — only better because it’s healthier!

Best of all when you start adding other nutrient-dense foods to superfoods, you instantly increase the health benefits. The Healing Powers of Superfoods gives you all kinds of ideas for blending and stacking superfoods for the healthiest options.

Now don’t give ice cream the boot, because
America’s favorite frozen delight not only builds
strong bones — it supercharges your brain.

Ice cream contains calcium for bone-building and protein for strong muscles and teeth. Know what else? Vanilla ice cream is good for the brain! When you get your FREE copy of The Healing Powers of Superfoods, turn to page 63 to see the secret super mineral in vanilla ice cream that enhances brain function. Belgian researchers using MRI testing found ice cream even diminishes the brain’s response to sadness.

Do you like apples or peanut butter? They’re super delicious superfoods, too. Apples aren’t just great for weight loss, they lower your bad cholesterol (LDL), protecting against heart attack and stroke.

See page 28 of your FREE BOOK to see which apples pack the most powerful punch. Be sure to try the Super Heart Healthy Cinna-Apple Smoothie on page 29.

Do these look like SUPERFOODS to you?
Take a closer look.

When University of Scranton researcher Joe Vinson, Ph.D., was asked what foods he’d pick if he were stranded on a desert island for two weeks, he chose nuts, peanut butter, orange juice, and wine. Since wine is rich in resveratrol, it could help prevent blood clots from years of eating French fries and bacon.

Rather skip the wine? There’s a great juice alternative on page 141. This superjuice not only helps lower cholesterol but may reduce the risk of cancer, too. It’s all in The Healing Powers of Superfoods.

Eggs can keep you out of the
cardiologist’s office, too.

Two studies of 40,000 men and women published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed eating eggs in moderation may be good for your heart. Scientists found absolutely NO LINK to heart disease in healthy test subjects who ate an egg every day. But . . .

You must know which part of the egg to eat for the biggest health benefit — and it’s not what you think or what you’ve been told. An “eggstrordinary” secret on page 55 will show you how to get the biggest bang for your heart health from eggs.

Surprising superfood of the year:
Lobster Mac and Cheese for weight loss!

You’re going to think, “This is too decadent to be good for me, right?” Nope! This amazing recipe uses a secret type of pasta studies show fills you up and slims you down. Parmesan swirled with a bit of butter, pasta, tomatoes, creamy half-and-half, fresh basil. Mmm, mouthwatering! Get the recipe on page 286 of your FREE BOOK!

Confessions of a Ghostwriter

 By Cal Orey

I am a ghostwriter. I am often on the job writing books for someone else. For example, writing as a military wife, I dished out heartfelt feelings in a woman’s magazine about my husband’s service in Iraq. Writing as a witty English doctor, I prescribe anti-aging secrets in a self-help book. Writing as my sensitive mixed-breed cat, I dispense advice to pets and humans in a bimonthly horoscope column.

    In the past year I've co-authored novels: Romance, True Crime, Sci-Fi, and Historical Fiction. Currently, I just finished a Carl Sagan type of science book. I'm wrapping up a contemporary romance novel. Truth be told, I've cried many times during the Romeo and Juliet-ish work. And I've fallen in love with the characters. And for the next few weeks, I'll be fine-tuning a New Age super creative novella that is mind blowing! It will give you chills. Yes, co-author credit will be granted to me.

            Sound like fun? For writers who don’t mind losing a byline, ghostwriting is an interesting and potentially lucrative career option. Here are five reasons why you should consider this often-overlooked writing path.

1 Interesting assignments

Ever wish you were someone else? As a ghostwriter, you can live your dream vicariously—without having to get credentials or be reincarnated. Being a “ghost” is like channeling into someone else’s body and mind. For example, I write for my 5-year-old cat, Kerouac, who pens the column “What Do the Stars Hold for Your Pet?” for a pet magazine. Not only is his name on the masthead, each column pays for his premium cat food and toys.

            Eric Neuhaus, a New York ghostwriter, did the writing and more for a book by fitness guru Joe Decker As part of the assignment, Neuhaus and a diet consultant cooked up healthy versions of traditionally unhealthy dishes such and meatloaf and fajitas. “The kitchen in my one-bedroom apartment became the test kitchen,” Neuhaus says. “I bought another book on how to write recipes. All of this was trail by fire. I never thought in m wildest dreams that I’d be testing recipes.”

Ghost Tip: “If you enjoy people, ghostwriting is a way to delve into some of the most unusual people on the planet,” says Marc L. Weber, a former ghostwriter.

2 An occasional credit

When I was assigned the Iraq article for Complete Woman, I collected the very personal first-person narratives of two military wives, using their unique voices to put together their heart-warming tales. I received an “as told to” author credit.

Ghost Tip: If you think the book has potential to be a bestseller, request co-author credit. But if the project is an author’s tool (i.e., selling products), credit isn’t a big deal.

3 Appreciative clients

“One of the most surprising facts I have learned about ghostwriting is that there are some extremely intelligent people out there who cannot put anything onto paper,” Habert says. “For some reason, somewhere between the thought process and the actual movements of their pen or fingers on keyboard, they become babbling fools.”

            In my ghostwritten book on anti-aging, I noticed while the doctor had good command of the English language, his prose tended to be dry. I was hired to “dumb down” his health advice and product information. And the doctor appreciated my ability to do just that.

Ghost Tip: “You have to check your ego at the door,” cautions Deborah Kotz of Silver Spring, Md., who has worked as a ghostwriter on several health books. “Realize that you are the ‘writer’ and not the ‘author.’ There’s a big difference between the two. You are not the authority. So, you have to convey the message that the author wants to convey.”

4 Big-money potential

Some book advances can make you smile. Case in point: I just signed a book contract for a five-figure deal, travel expenses and bonuses. For the next five months, I will feel financially secure as I ghostwrite about a fascinating and controversial topic. How rich is that?

Ghost Tip: “If you think the book isn’t going to get that six-figure advance, settle on a fee upfront for your services,” Neuhaus says. “If you think it is going to be a blockbuster project, then negotiate a percentage of the advance and royalties.”

5 Unlimited prospects

The best part of ghostwriting is that it’s like a deep well that never goes dry. Habert understands the glory of ghostwriting. “It is a lucrative source of writing, not only in a monetary manner but also in the volume available,” she says.  Weber adds that a baby boomers age, “that generation becomes interested in holding on to its memories, so there is more work for ghostwriters to do than ever before.”

Ghost Tip: “Network as much as you can,” Weber says. “Make sure people know you have the talent to help them."

            Each in his or her own way, Habert, Weber and Neuhaus have discovered that ghostwriting is a good avenue to a never-ending road of projects. You, too, can arrive at that point. Just put on your mask and go to "No revisions" in the agreement. A dentist to hair stylist may make minor tweaks--but countless changes? Not a chance.

Work It Tips for the Writer (and Client)

Get it in writing: “If you’re going to collaborate, you’re going to need a written contract or agreement that spells out who does what and how much you get—and when,” Neuhaus says.

Tackle Tasks:   Outlines, restructuring and crafting, developing characters, writing prologues, cliffhanger chapters, and WOW endings, settings, description, dialogue -- and much more! A client may have notes or the entire manuscript written but it still may need SOS!

Develop a specialty: “Whether it’s fitness or fashion, write about what you love and have a passion for,” says New York City ghostwriter Eric Neuhaus.

Network with other ‘ghosts’: Often, ghostwriters will be busy with projects and may refer clients to you for a finder’s fee.

Discuss the editing process: If you want to avoid ghoulish re-dos, talk with the author about edits and ongoing revisions before you begin. Personally, I have incorporated the phrase: No revisions, no refunds. You are free to delete and add details. P.S. Re-dos are offered but they're not for free.

Remember, everyone has at least one book in them:  It’s your job to connect mentally and emotionally with someone who wants to hire a ghost—namely, you.
