Hemp Seed, Protein & Oil – The Best On Earth!

No other single plant source provides complete protein in such an easily digestible form, nor has the oils essential to life in as perfect a ratio for human health and vitality.  Today, in the USA, Canada and European countries etc hemp seed and its oil is also being used for nutritional rather than just its medicinal or narcotic values.

This is one of the most potent foods available!  It provides a broad spectrum of health benefits from weight loss to building the immune system.

Amazingly it has been found that hemp seeds protein is about 65% globulin, edestin plus quantities of albumin (present in all seeds) so it is easily digestible, in addition the protein is available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma.  Hemp protein contains all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life.

Pioneers in the field of biochemistry and human nutrition now believe cardiovascular disease (CVD) and most cancers are really diseases of fatty degeneration caused by the continued over-consumption of saturated fats and refined vegetable oils.

The short list of hemp food currently on the market of USA and in European countries include: hemp oil, hemp cheese (just as good as real cheese and melts great!), hemp ice cream, hemp butters, hemp flour, hemp baked goods, hemp tofu, hemp burgers (tempeh), roasted hemp seeds and hemp beer.  Some of these are now available in health food stores…

Hemp seed is the premier plant-seed provider of globulin starting material — the highest in the plant kingdom. Eating hemp seeds will insure the immune system has the reservoir of immunoglobulin resources needed to make disease destroying antibodies.

Beyond basic nutrition, hemp oil may help to prevent many of today’s increasingly common degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, weakened immune functions, arthritis, behavioral problems, high cholesterol, multiple sclerosis, skin affections and dry skin and hair, pms, sterility and even hair loss.

Hemp seed oil is one of the lowest in saturated fats at eight per cent of total.  1-4 per cent g-linolenic acid (GLA) and 15.25 per cent a-linolenic acid oil volume. The oil pressed from hemp seed contains 53-60 per cent linoleic acid (LA) and (LNA). Essential fatty acids govern growth, vitality and state of mind. LA and LNA are involved in transferring oxygen from the air in the lungs to every cell in the body. They play a part in holding oxygen in the cell membrane where it acts as a barrier to invading viruses and bacteria, neither of which thrive in the presence of oxygen.

Hemp is not unique in having all the essential amino acids in its embryonic seed. Flax seeds also contain all the essential amino acids as do many other seeds in the plant kingdom. What is unique about hemp seed protein is that 65% of it is globulin edistin. That is the highest in the plant kingdom.  It also has the best EFA ratio…

The body’s ability to resist and recover from illness depends upon how rapidly it can produce massive amounts of antibodies to fend off the initial attack. If the globulin protein starting material is in short supply the army of antibodies may be too small to prevent the symptoms of sickness from setting in.

Hemp seed  is the premier plant-seed provider of globulin starting material — the highest in the plant kingdom. Eating hemp seeds will insure the immune system has the reservoir of immunoglobulin resources needed to make disease destroying antibodies.

Please do your own study of hemp seed, hemp protein (easily assimilated by everyone – moms, babies, body builders, convalescents, and the elderly – EVERYONE!) and hemp oil… this is some of the most important work that I have done! 

If you are in a State that has laws that allow medicinal cannabis, make use of that right.  If not, do your homework and then get involved and convince your State representatives to understand the importance of hemp (see last post) growing for general uses and the cannabis side to protect ourselves and our loved ones from diseases!

Virgin Coconut Oil – Condemned in the 80’s – Now Honored – Finally!

 

When the “polyunsaturated” vegetable oil battles were being waged in the 70’s, I was being indoctrinated that all saturated oils were BAD!  Since I was a ‘younger’ (30’s) nutritional student I began to ‘buy into’ that theme.  However, I LOVED butter and believed that there was something wrong with the theory that ALL saturated fats were bad… 

By the early 80’s I had been properly schooled by ‘older people’ that something was wrong in ‘Denmark’ and the polyunsaturated movement was attached to the cholesterol fraud and that some saturated fats were fine.  Especially my butter.  My best breakfast was 3 eggs, a small amount of meat and some good bread – loaded with butter. :) Check out why I was right! 

During the 80’s it was ‘declared’ by the ‘oil purveyors’ that the absolute worst saturated oils were coconut and palm oil!  Now that claim was not easily countered…  I didn’t pay much attention since I was not attracted to either oil.  Now keep in mind that for thousands of years cultures have used butter, tallow and suet from beef and lamb, lard from pigs, chicken, goose and duck fat, coconut, palm and palm kernel oils within very healthy communities. First caution sign? 

During this time the opposite was being belched out at us here in America; that polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils, industrially processed liquid oil such as soy corn, safflower, cottonseed and canola oils were the only oils to use.  Keep in mind that Trans fatty acids were not a topic on the table…    

In the late 90’s I read some of Dr Mary Enig’s work and the truth began to come to me in clear crisp messages.  Confirmation to me that the cholesterol and saturated oil movement was one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on a nation and the world.  Our grand mothers were right – eat your food as close to the way God made it and you’ll be ok!  If man has messed with it you lose! 

Back to virgin coconut oil… It is solid below 76 degrees, liquid above.  It is anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungal, it will help raise HDL and lower LDL, it will increase metabolism and promote healthy thyroid function, help control blood sugars, it is fabulous for your skin and will correct skin problems, it won’t break down while cooking on high heat, it will help you lose weight and on and on!  Wow, what a list! Just make sure that it is processed the “old way” and is labeled “virgin”.  I use a few different suppliers depending on the sales – Tropical Traditions and Nutiva.  There are numerous others – Dr Mercola has a very ’smooth’ product (search VCO). 

I can’t get into the details of why it is so good in the writing except that it primarily has to do with coconut oil having lauric acid.  Outside of mother’s milk coconut oils have the next highest amount.   Vegetable oils have long chain fatty acids (LCT) which are destructive while coconut oil has short and medium chain fatty acids (MCT) which are very healthy/powerful. 

Do some investigating about virgin coconut and coconut oils and you will find one of the most powerful natural gifts that have been given to us.  I personally take about three tablespoons a day.  I use it as butter, when I cook/fry, in anything that is hot – I look for opportunities to use more.  Simple solutions are what ‘Mother Nature” has brought us – man continues to create “business” by destroying the natural ways that we should eat and live.

155 yr old Arm & Hammer has 2010 Swine Flu Solution – Baking Soda!

As many of you know I’ve been a health coach for thirty years and counting… these past five years have provided more relevant learning to me than many of years past.  Small amounts of Bicarbonate of Soda taken daily internally and brushing teeth with BS has been part of my recommendations for years. 

Now, thanks to researchers like Dr Mark Sircus living/hiding in Brazil, Dr Mercola and others, our understanding of the positive impact of bicarbonate fluids in our body systems has really expanded.   Like our misunderstanding of Vitamin D3 all these years , not understanding the real vital role of bicarbonate fluids in the body and using BS to help the body defend and balance itself has had a unbelievable toll on all of us!  The medical/nutritional experts etc. missed the boat!  The main reason in my opinion for not pursuing this vitally important research is MONEY! Pathetic!

This is the direction we MUST travel if we want to survive these coming years.  We must get our own immune systems very strong and have a POWERFULY STRONG home pharmacy…  (I will be posting one soon)

In today’s modern world of medicine the FDA just will not let companies or individuals that sell products make medical claims, suggestions or even implications that “natural” foods, extracts, seeds, etc. can help the body heal itself.  Below is a great excerpt from over 80 years ago…

 In a 1924 booklet published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company, the company starts off saying, “The proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney, in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:

“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely anyone who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks.”

Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:

During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals

During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals

During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured    – End

My question is; did our body systems change that much since the early 1900s that this simple remedy won’t work now – what an insult to our nation!  Be on guard.  Be blessed.

Follow-up to Battery Powered Pain Relief! A Winner!

Just a follow-up to my last post regarding the battery pain relief setup…  it is fantastic!  My wife and I have used our set-up for a few months now and it is amazing how consistent the experience has been.

I found some soft conductive pads from an old “muscle” stimulator that had two pads joined together in one connection.  I extended that single connection to the negative terminal and we have that wire going down the center of the bed between us.  Each of us has one pad available and we use them during the night.  Since I have had damage in numerous areas I will have some pain during the night – when I awaken I put one of the pads on the area and usually go back to sleep or realise that after a few minutes the pain is gone.  My wife has experienced this many times.

My 7 year old grand daughter had a lung/throat infection and coughed all night keeping herself and my daughter up with her.  I suggested using their setup with one washer on her throat and one on her chest before going to bed the next night.  Sure enough the little one slept the entire night without coughing!

I know it sounds a bit weird for some of you however, if you want a very effective and very inexpensive pain solution for acute or chronic challenges pay attention to this information.  keep ion mind I sleep with full sheets that are connected to the earth – so these results are in addition to the electron flow from the earth.  You can email me with your address and I will email you soem sources for the components…  This is amazing!  Be blessed.

Battery Powered Pain Relief?! Wow! :)

When you read my post about “Earthing” you learn very quickly that I feel strongly about being connected to the earth.  Since we have inflammation in our bodies caused by positively charged “free radicals” pain and disease almost always results.  Connecting to the earth with our bare feet/body, immediately pulls “free electrons” into our body and reduces/eliminates these free radicals!

A few weeks ago I was introduced to an elderly gentleman (90) who is a patriot/researcher and quite a character to know whose name is Dr. James R. Walker.  He wrote an interesting book named “Holocaust American Style” which is a book about the reality of our Phara/Health/Death system.  He does not mince words either. :)   He is a delight to chat with since he has very strong opinions and has the years and experience to back up his thoughts!  He also has no fear of the establishment so he speaks his mind.

He mentioned a work by a Swedish researcher named Dr. Nordenstrom who worked developing protocols for curing tumors and cancer using electrical current.  My purpose for bringing this up is NOT to discuss tumors or cancer, since I don’t work in that area.  That is only for qualified, trained and educated medical doctors.

So far we have talked about “Earthing”, electricity, inflammation and positively charged free radicals…  Now follow me down this road. 

Go to Wal-Mart or Sears and purchase a 12 volt Lawn and Garden battery about half the size of a normal battery (about $30).  Go to the sports/picnic section and get a six pack cooler with a plastic liner – the battery fits perfectly.  Now it gets interesting…

Use the cover that was on the negative post to cover the positive post of the battery(you won’t need the positive post for now) and connect a wire to the negative post.  Strip the other end of the wire, connect that end to a metal key, washer or any piece of metal, OR just use the bare wire itself.  Put that end of the wire directly on the pain area for 15 minutes or more and observe the pain reduction! 

You basically have “turbo charged” free electrons into the positively charged inflamed pain area!  This flow of “free electrons” is causing the “positive” side of the “circuit” to be completed.  From an “engineering” point of view this “can’t happen”.  Trust me – its happening! :)

I have successfully used it on myself and family and with numerous clients.  The results have been quite amazing.  I had a friend with a pulled tendon from her heel and she had the key taped to her heel all night.  She woke without pain.  Most injuries will probably need numerous applications; however, Dr Walker solved a 70 year old shoulder injury with only a few applications.

Enjoy some of the simpler solutions available that are very inexpensive, safe and fortunately very effective.  More to come…

Get Earthed – We Should Have Never Disconnected!

It was a very windy day in 2001 and I was invited to go paragliding… being 60 years old at the time I was excited about the prospects of flying.  Six months earlier I had gone to a paragliding school and learned how to take off and land.  It was great fun!

Had I been a pilot of a small plane, I would have had a check list and would not have proceeded if things were out of order.  It was a blistery morning with gusts of wind that got your attention.  Instead of telling me to pass for the day, my mind got more excited!  I guess the “3rd puberty” thing was working again :) . I was also having trouble remembering what to do from the training…

Well I took off nicely, went into the ‘cruising’ position and enjoyed quite a ride.  On my way to the target landing, I looked up to check the position of the sail and when I looked down – I hit the GROUND!  OMG!  When I recovered a bit and realized that I could feel my toes, I knew that I had survived a very serious crash!

I was in considerable pain so I had x-rays taken and saw that I had broken L5 (lower back).  Not wanting to go to the hospital (reasons of survival) I rested for a number of weeks and thought that I had gotten through the crisis.

Some weeks later after a swimming incident that once again was a result of “that puberty thing” I began to have considerable pain radiating down my leg.  Really bad pain!  I had an MRI done and saw an ugly picture of discs and vertebras’.  I had one disc out 4mm in one direction with 8mm of the disc hanging down facing the nerve root.  I knew I was in trouble!  The doctor that had cared for me for 27 years would not touch me!  I was afraid!

I went to the VA and met who turned out to be a miracle surgeon – he knew what needed to be done but for some reason he wanted to wait!  I was very unhappy at the time; however, it turned out to be a “miracle” moment.  This gave me time to re-think the vertebrae fusion and focused me back to God and healing.  During the next four years I used everything that I had ever learned as a health coach (prayer, serious nutrition, aromatherapy, frequencies, inversion, chi machine, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, vibration therapy, and numerous others) and from a medical perspective I did well.  From a personal perspective I didn’t have a life!  I was afraid of everything and had no idea of limits – I was miserable.

Now for the real miracle!  My dear friend Sheila Curtiss introduced me to Clint Ober and his discovery of “Earthing“.  Simply put, he discovered what happens when our bare feet touch the earth.  When he explained that we “pull” free electrons into our bodies from the earth, I went crazy!  I knew that “free electrons” were anti-oxidants that could knockout “free radicals” and that might reduce my nerve inflammation.  If my S1 nerve was inflamed and out of control I was on a morphine drip!

To make a long story shorter, my workout this morning (four years later) was as aggressive as before I broke my back!  There was no bedding product available then, so I used conductive patches with wires going out a hole in my wall to a stake in the ground.  Today I sleep in sheets with woven silver yarn and the silver is connected to a wire that goes to ground in my wall socket.  It’s like sleeping on the beach all night!

I have slept without inflammation in my body for over four years now and loving it.  We should have never been disconnected for the earth with the plastics and polymers that we are surrounded with these past 50 years.  When was the last time you touched the earth?  If you have any questions please contact me – I have become an expert in this area.  Be well!
