Better than the Flat Tax, the Flax Tax saves our economy and our health! (satire)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

You know how you do that? You go down to your local food co-op and hand them some of this useless paper money, and they will let you walk out of there with flax seeds. How amazing is that? You can take those flax seeds home and you won't even be arrested for shoplifting. That's amazing! So, if the Flax Tax never passes, don't worry. You can still get flax yourself by exchanging your worthless paper dollars for real, healthy flax seeds. Or chia seeds. Or nutritional supplements... you get the picture. Trade in your useless paper money for something with real value: flax!

When this process is complete, in a separate bowl add the water to the ground flax seeds and stir well. Add to other ingredients immediately and mix thoroughly as the mixture will begin to thicken quickly. Let stand for ten minutes. If the mixture is too thick, water may be added; if too thin, more ground flax can be added. Next, scoop 2 or 3 medium ladles of the dough mixture onto non-stick teflex dehydrator sheets and spread evenly with a spatula to about a V4 inch (.6 cm) thickness. (Excess mixture can be frozen and rethawed later to dehydrate another batch of crackers.
Other useful food-form supplements could be: molasses, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and raw almonds. Periodically, buy and use a probiotic such as acidophilus with bifidus. Work to remove and replace negative emotional causes of physical malfunctions. For chronic conditions that won't respond to anything you've tried, you must aggressively work on detoxifying acids from your body. This is an indication that your pH levels are still significantly out of balance. You Can't Be a Cheater What if you have been on your new program for a few months, and still, not much is changing?

The Organic Food Bar packs a nutritional punch in portable form

And you'll notice they used sprouted flax seeds instead of just tossing in dry flax seeds. When they've sprouted they have a much higher nutritional content. When a seed germinates, it creates a storehouse of vitamins and enzymes that it will need in order to grow and thrive as a live, healthy plant. So eating sprouted grains or seeds is always much better for you than just grinding up the dry seeds and eating those. Next we have the sprouted organic Quinoa, and again, we have the substantial benefit of these seeds being sprouted.

At the same time, in the worlds of health and nutrition, there's a lot of talk about the benefits of flax seeds and omega-3 oils. Now, I propose that we combine these two and create a Flax Tax. The Flax Tax can have tremendous benefits for us all, both in terms of lowering our effective tax rates and enhancing our overall health. In fact, the Flax Tax can save our nation! Let me explain how: Here's how it works: Instead of paying tax in dollars, we pay tax with flax. That's right, we all get flax seeds and we pay our taxes in healthy oils.

This situation can be mitigated somewhat by adding fresh-ground flax seeds to the juice. Root, such as carrots and beets, are less nutritious than their green tops. Guidelines for Making and Consuming Fresh juices ž Use only good quality produce. Fruit and vegetable juices should not be mixed. Exceptions are apples which will mix compatibly with vegetable juices, and celery and lettuce which will mix with fruits. Tomato juice and carrot juice do not make a good combination. 80-90% of the fresh vegetable juice should be from your geographic area when available.

Another miracle to try are flax seeds. I introduced them years ago and millions have benefitted. Soak 3 tbsps of flax seeds in cup of distilled water for 3 hours (gets gel-like). Add 1 tbsp to cup of water and drink an hour after dinner. You can presoak enough mixture for 2 to 3 days and keep in fridge. Use as a hot or cold drink, add honey if desired. It's not only good for elimination, but flax seeds are rich in omega-3 for your heart. Almost every human malady is connected, either by highway or byway, with the stomach.

Good sources of omega-3 oils include chia seeds, flax seeds and, for non-vegetarians, wild-harvested fish oils. A reputable supplier of fish oils is Nordic Naturals (www.NordicNaturals.com) Selenium: Selenium is an antioxidant mineral responsible for tissue elasticity. It also acts to prevent cell damage by free radicals and is will known to be correlated with a reduction of breast cancer risk. It may play an important role in preventing skin cancer, as it can protect the skin from damage from excessive ultraviolet light.

Ground flax seeds, 1-2 tbsp a day sprinkled on your y^j^W breakfast cereal, can also give you plenty of healthy fiber. Consume one or two servings of bright colored fruits and vegetables, such as berries, cherries, and carrots, every day. These contain powerful antioxidants that will strengthen the walls of the veins and improve their elasticity. Try eating pancakes mades with buckwheat, which naturally contains a flavonoid called rutin that will increase the strength of blood vessels.

Foods highest in omega-3 fatty acids are: flax seeds, romaine lettuce, kale, mustard seeds, scallops, cloves, nuts, oregano, salmon, halibut, snapper, shrimp, tuna, cod, soybeans, cauliflower, tofu, squash, broccoli, spinach, collard greens, cabbage, and strawberries. Consequently, many have proposed that a lifelong diet highly protective against Alzheimer's will have a higher proportion of n-3 fatty acids relative to n-6.

Consume anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids (omega-3s) in the form of fatty fish, walnuts, flax seeds, cod liver oil, fish oil, and flax seed oil. Eat plenty of raw seeds and nuts. Avoid mucus-forming foods such as fried and processed foods, refined flours, eggs, and dairy products. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Identify and eliminate aggravating substances, including food dyes, food colorings, preservatives, and additives. Avoid dietary sources of arachidonic acid (found in animal products), which contribute to inflammation.

However, in order to obtain the nutritional benefits that flax seeds offer, they must be ground before they are eaten because their tough outer shells are not digestible. Dry flax seed is easily ground using a coffee grinder or a blender. Hemp—Seeds, Oil, and Protein First of all, let's clear the air about hemp. It is not marijuana! Although both are related to the plant Cannabis sativa, industrial hemp, from which food products are produced, is very different. It contains minute (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (thc), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

It takes about 14 capsules of flaxseed oil to equal just 1 tablespoon of the bottled oil, and many times the bottles of capsules are allowed to sit on store shelves or warehouses in the heat. flax seeds freshly ground at home in a coffee grinder and used immediately can be added to the daily mixture. But do not grind your flax seeds at a health food store, then drive home and expect them to still be good. Dr. Budwig claimed that the oils in freshly ground flax seeds can go bad in just 10 to 15 minutes!

Foods such as oats, oat bran, psyllium husks, and flax seeds are rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber. If we do not consume adequate fiber, waste matter accumulates in the body, reducing its efficiency and setting the stage for degenerative diseases. Minerals Minerals are used by the body in virtually all its functions and they are an intricate part of its building structure. They are classified as major and trace.

My choice for the top foods for cholesterol are blueberries (1 pint a day), garlic, ginger, onions and anything with omega-3 oils such as chia seeds, flax seeds, salmon or oily fish. On the supplement side, I recommend cod liver oil, policosinol, macadamia nut oil and medicinal mushrooms like Reishi and Shiitake. And if you really need a boost from supplements, try red yeast rice. In addition to good nutrition, achieving healthy cholesterol levels also requires avoiding all dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.) except, perhaps, raw organic milk.

For example, if you wish to use flax seeds as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, avoid buying seeds that have already been ground. Instead, try to purchase the whole seeds that you can then grind at home, thus preserving the integrity of the essential lipids present. For the same reason, avoid using flax seed oil; even though the oil is an important source of these lipids, the great sensitivity of polyunsaturated omega-3s to the oxygen in air causes a rapid degradation that will prevent you from enjoying the health benefits provided by these molecules.

Adding 1-3 tablespoons of freshly ground flax seeds helps build the Omega-3s. The same is true for hemp seeds, purslane, and Klamath Lake algae. The conversion to the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids from flax or hemp seeds is amplified by 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per day, from a conversion rate of 1-3 percent up to 6 percent. Golden algae concentrates give high amounts of DHA and purslane supplies the EPA long-chain Omega-3s. Klamath Lake algae supplies both EPA and DHA.

The Sunfood Diet Success System

Hemp seeds and flax seeds, and especially their oils, contain medium-chain omega 3 essential fatty acids. A healthy body converts these over to long-chain omega 3 to form fresh brain tissue at a rate of approximately 3%. Some people convert at less efficient percentages due to health challenges, genetics and metabolism - sometimes the conversion is 0%. While 3% may be enough to keep us healthy, 0% is definitely not excellent. We can double the conversion factor to 6% if we consume hemp seed or flax seed and their oils with coconut oil (a great idea).

Lignans in flax seeds, barley and wheat are antioxidants that attack cell-damaging free radicals. Terpenes in citrus fruits increase the production and activation of a protein that interrupts the undifferentiated, out-of-control growth of breast-cancer cells in rats. Phytosterols in whole grains, legumes, and soy quite literally compete with the estrogens that promote cancer; while they don't destroy these cancer-causing agents, they do deflect them from their path.
