Chapter 32—Olives and Olive Oil
The Ministry of Healing, 298
When properly prepared, olives, like nuts, supply the place of
butter and flesh-meats. The oil, as eaten in the olive, is far preferable
to animal oil or fat. It serves as a laxative. Its use will be found
beneficial to consumptives and it is healing to an inflamed, irritated
stomach.
Testimonies for the Church 7:134
Olives may be so prepared as to be eaten with good results at every
meal. The advantages sought by the use of butter may be obtained by
the eating of properly prepared olives. The oil in the olives relieves
constipation, and for consumptives, and for those who have inflamed,
irritated stomachs, it is better than any drug. As a food it is better than
any oil coming second-hand from animals.

Letter B 90, 1903
In the work of educating our nurses, we may reach a high standard
in the knowledge of the true science of healing. That which is of most
importance is that the students be taught how to truly represent the
principles of health reform. Teach the students to pursue this line
of study faithfully, combined with other essential lines of education.
The grace of Jesus Christ will give wisdom to all who will follow the
Lord’s plan of true education.
