I was waiting for a free day as I was worried that I would feel sick and did not want to throw up in front of my students in the iddle of the class(I am a tutor at University). But I had to dare it one day and I wake this morning and had my first taste of it, one tea spoon (slightly bigger actually). What feeling, yuck, the moment it went inside my system I felt, awww!!!. I ran to the bathroom thinking that I will vomit, but i didn't. I picked up the toothbrush and started brushing and the good smell of toothpaste helped. I just finished my class and I am feeling better. Not even the thought of throwing up came when I was in the class. Sure I am determined to take it regularly from now on. For those who are just thinking of starting, my suggestion is don't straight away for a 100ml or something. Start with a tea spoon, let your body get used to it and then slowly increase your dose. Fingers crossed, it will be beneficial. Also, I need a suggestion from someone. My 3 year old son has just been potentially diagnosed with Asthma (tests awaited). I read above that someone had a positive affect on Asthma after drinking Olive Oil. I was wondering how can I give it to such a little boy. I know he will throw up in dislike and will never take it again. Please share any ideas or experiences. Hi,

My protein smoothie consists of: 1 Scoopy of Vanilla Whey protein powder, 1/2 cup fat-free milk, and any kind of fruit you desire (bananna, peaches, blueberries). Add a few ice cubes and mix in a blender. The olive oil really enhances the flavor.

This women who did it lost much weight. I wonder if it would be better to substitute olive oil? I heard of a diet that consisted of taking a tablespoon of safflower oil after eating.

I just tried to swallow 150ml olive oil and it went down alright - lovely flavour, hasn't it?! :-) but a few moments later I was so sick! I think my stomach has to get used to digesting over 1000cals all at once... Hi!

My throat and nose are clean and free now, my skin is more supple, my hair is more curly, my whole digestive tract is much smoother. I used to smoke tobacco and Marihuana, which gave me a constant clogged up nose and thick unyielding mucus membranes. All the negative side effects of smoking have disappeared. I drink a few sips of Olive Oil in the morning on an empty stomach. And during the day I sometimes drink a few swigs. Olive oil dissolves non-water-soluble substances that are 'stuck' in your mucus. I havent needed to go to the doctor for twenty-some years now and a physician friend of mine has checked me up and said I have no signs of deterioration due to smoking. Even the normal physical deterioration due to my age of 41 years are less than expected, he said. I have to add that I am a vegetarian now for twenty odd years and the beneficial effects of this diet are aplenty. Stay away from sugar, tobacco, unnatural drugs and medicine, eat meat only sparsely; like we used to do in times before.Dose up on vegetables, fruits and raw foods, eat anti-oxidant rich foods. You'll live the longer for it and much healthier. And therefor happier. I have been drinking Olive Oil for a couple of years now and I have definitely felt and seen the health nefeits.

I suggest you try some fermented foods, such as yogurt or kombucha. See my blog for many posts about fermented foods. Joanne, I doubt EVOO helps stomach ulcers.

I pinch my nose and drink some water to rinse my mouth. No milk now. I am not feeling an queasiness. So I conclude that 4T of ELOO is too much for my tummy all at once.
