WORTH KNOWING The hemp seeds themselves are increasingly becoming available at health food stores, and I can tell you they're delicious. hemp seeds contain all the essential fats we've been talking about, plus they're about 25 percent protein and 10 to 15 percent fiber and contain a rich array of minerals, particularly phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, and calcium. I love sprinkling them on stuff, or eating them out of the bag.

Unfortunately, most hemp seeds are irradiated upon import; however, the Tree of Life is able to supply truly live, organic hemp seeds (see the Resources directory), which we call hemp nuts. Hemp seed is great with granola, sprinkled on salads, and is especially tasty in tomato-based sauces. Hemp seed is a delicious substitute for other nuts and seeds in most any recipe. OLIVES The healthiest olives are those that are water-cured or cured in Celtic sea salt.

We do hemp seeds and hemp seed oil. We do many different exotic types of raw food bars that people make; different companies that are out there making Goji cacao bars or vanilla oat bars that are made out of raw food ingredients. We have a lot of that stuff. We also do a lot of distribution of information in the field of raw food. Mike: You do a great job of getting information out. That's what I really admire about your work. It is not just about moving products or selling cases of product.

Maryland Health Officials Who Coerce Vaccinations Qualify as "Terrorists" Under New Senate Legislation Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This lucrative crop is grown legally in Canada and used to make hemp clothes, hemp rope, hemp seeds (which are rich in omega-3 oils) and all sorts of goods that we import from Canada, but here in the U.S., the growing of this industrial crop is condemned, disrupted and aggressively attacked by a government group that, at times, acts like a group of terrorists: The Drug Enforcement Agency. What are they doing that qualifies them as terrorists? Raiding farms at gunpoint, burning their hemp fields, spraying poisons on their crops via helicopter, imprisoning the farmers, and much worse.

Food sources: fish high in omega-3 fatty acids include tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, and herring (see precautions in text); other sources include flaxseed, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, and filberts Coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble quinone occurring in the mitochondria of every cell that is a cofactor in the electron transport chain on which most cellular functions rely, making it essential for the health of virtually all human tissues. Plasma levels of this enzyme rise during normal pregnancy, reaching highs of 50 percent above normal by the 36th week.

The best sources of both of these fatty acids are flaxseed, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are excellent sources of linoleic acid. The oils from the seeds of flax, hemp, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower are the best oils to use in salad dressings. Flax, hemp, and pumpkin oils should not be heated, but sesame and sunflower are acceptable cooking oils. In many cases the seeds, nuts, and fruits from which these oils are extracted are healthy choices as well. To round out the healthy changes in the diet, emphasize whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits.

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.

I know Iranians who grew up eating toasted hemp seeds. There's evidence that goes back thousands of years that it was being eaten in China and in different places around the world for those health benefits. Hemp has kind of had a renaissance starting in the early 90s. I was part of the lobby that helped to legalize or re-legalize hemp in Canada, which we accomplished in '98 for commercial growth. Since then, I have been producing a line of hemp foods to spread the news and the nourishment of hemp. Mike: Can you talk about the basic macronutrient composition of hemp seeds?

Essential fatty acids are contained in raw nuts and seeds, fish, fish oils, and cold pressed oils from flax and hemp seeds. These are the building blocks for the liver to make hormones and hormone precursors for the brain and glands of the endocrine system.

Of all plants in the vegetable kingdom, hemp protein has the closest resemblance to our human protein profile. hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain a healthy human life. Recently, the Canadian government lifted a 50-year ban on the growing of hemp. Farmers, under a special license, are now growing industrial hemp with the proviso that they must not produce plants that have more than 0.3% of the psychoactive ingredient. The seed, from which the protein food and oil comes, does not contain thc, only the flower does.

Hemp Protein When whole hemp seeds are cold-pressed to expel the oil, a dry cake is left. This cake can then be milled at low temperatures to produce hemp protein powder that can, depending on the variety of seed and the area it was grown in, produce an average of 48% protein. Hemp protein contains all known amino acids, including the essential amino acids. This makes it a very important source of amino acids. During the digestion process, our bodies chain together various amino acids to make proteins. About 75% of our body tissue is protein.

Hemp Oil Oil from hemp seeds is an excellent balanced source of the essential fatty acids omega-3 ar)d omega-6. Dr. Johana Budwig, who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize seven times, is a pioneer researcher of efas. She has found that when the diet includes adequate amounts of efas, cell membranes continue to work properly and are electron-rich, efas are also important because they enhance our ability to absorb and utilize energy from the sun's rays.

Blended hemp seeds and water alone makes an excellent milk substitute. Sweet corn is most digestible when eaten raw or at least very lightly cooked. Consume raw fresh fruit and vegetable juices regularly. ? Consume organically grown food when possible. Scrub fruits and vegetables to remove sprays, toxins and dirt, after soaking for 10 or 15 minutes in water that has had a tablespoon or more of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar added to it. Lightly steam vegetables; they should still be a bit crispy after steaming. Lightly stir-fry vegetables with water, unsalted butter, or olive oil.

Spirulina and chlorella - high in protein, fatty acids like GLA (gamma-linolenic acid, which is highest in mother's milk, second highest in spirulina, and third highest in hemp seeds), sulfanolipids, minerals, and vitamins - are both tridoshic (balance all the doshas) and excellent as ojas builders. Bee pollen, as the semen of the plant world, is an incredible food for building ojas.

Mike: Can you talk about the basic macronutrient composition of hemp seeds? Shamai: In the broadest strokes, you can basically divide it roughly into three components. There are essential fatty acids in the oil -- omega-6, omega-3, omega-9 -- and also minor fatty acids like gamma linolenic acid and stearidonic acid. So that's one-third of its composition. Another one-third consists mostly of fiber, both soluble and insoluble. And it's also one-third protein. Mike: So it has a very balanced nutritional make-up, I would say. Would you agree? Shamai: Yes.

Mike: For what kinds of products are these hemp seeds now being used in the foods and supplements industries? Shamai: Well, there are some oils on the market -- hemp oil, crushed from the hemp seed. Again, that has the same ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 -- which it's most known for -- as well as the other omegas that I described, and we can talk more about that. So there are oils. People also take the entire seed and shell it -- that is, take the shell off the inside and you then just have the soft interior. So you're removing a lot of the carbs and leaving primarily protein and oil.

Just try to grow omega-3-rich hemp seeds in your backyard and see how long it takes for the DEA to show up at your doorstep. You have a great number of foods out there that actually treat, not just prevent, chronic diseases. Molasses, for one, is a nutrient-rich sweetener. It's made from the byproduct of whole grain processing. If people ate more molasses or used it in their cooking or their oatmeal, they would get more B vitamins, more magnesium, more zinc. They would be healthier.
