The author is Dr. M. Laiq Ali Khan This work is paraphrased to make it shorter and more understandable. I am careful in my writing of herbs plants and foods to never use the word cure. It's because what it will do for one my not do for another and I don't want FDA on my back. Since medicines can't cure they assume herbs and/or foods can't either. I have no time to argue such nonsensical issues, certainly here. So I'm using another countries version of the benefits of raw green Olive oil.
