Olive Oil

My sister just started using a mixture of 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the content of two vitamin E capsules. She says just to rub it on the nails and they will get stronger. I will start this coming weekend and will keep you posted.

But what I know for sure is that in Guatemala teething babies are given what is called French bread, it is hardened or toasted in the oven and then sprinkled with olive oil and a few grains of salt. The baby scratches his gums with the bread and the olive oil coats his tummy so when he picks up dirty objects and puts them in his mouth they won't harm him. Babies get diarrhea often when they are teething.

Also, many years ago one of my loved ones got very sick to his stomach, I did what I do every time I am desperate and don't know what to do: I called my mom; source of all my inspiration.

She simply said, give him two tablespoons of olive oil with a dash of salt or a drop of lime juice. I asked her if that would make more harm than good and she explained to me that unless it would be a very bad infection, what it would do is kind of sweep it clean in one shot and immediately after all diarrhea would stop. I did because I trust her and presto, chango ala kazoo! He felt better in no time.

There are plenty of good things about olive oil; I will continue tomorrow.
