Follow My Progress

January 13th 2013

Day 1 

My goal for 2013 is to lose 70 lbs have more energy and have a clear head.

 It started as a small rash on my left lower leg on August 5 2012 as small bumps each the size of a pin head. I thought they were spider bites, but itched like mosquito bites.The bumps took its course and  went away after a few days, but I was left with severe fatigue and a much increased foggy brain.


Late October 2012 the bumps came back, this time with a vengeance starting just above my ankles. My legs became inflamed small dots spread up my leg to my knees, soon blisters and a hard coat of skin developed with in 48 hours.

Man, did it itch and burn. like a dummy I thought I got into something and eventually it would go away. Well it didn't, within two days it was spreading, my hands exploded swelling itching and burning, then spreading to my face.

After two days it was to much to bare. It was 11:00 pm and I was not in the mood to wait until the next day for a Doctors visit, I went directly to the Hospital. I was admitted and was on watch for an infectious disease.

After numerous visits by the Doctors, being treated by antibiotics and steroids it was still not conclusive what I had. At one point my hands swelled so severely my wedding ring was cut off due to the possibility of cutting  off the circulation throughout my finger.

They ruled out any external conditions. Such as, bug bites, chemicals or the environment.

 After 7 days in the hospital, on November 7th 2012,  I was diagnosed with a autoimmune disease. My immune system was attacking itself, thinking it was an enemy.

Since then with not much help, I turned to the internet in hopes for some answers.Their are many causes to Autoimmune disease:

Family or Personal History of Autoimmune Disease

Many, if not most autoimmune diseases, have a genetic or hereditary basis. This means that if you have a family member with an autoimmune disease, you are at an increased risk of developing an autoimmune condition as well. And it does not have to be the same disease - one relative may have autoimmune thyroid disease, another multiple sclerosis, and another inflammatory bowel disease.

Gender or Hormonal Status

Seventy-five percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women, and most frequently during the childbearing years. Higher estrogen levels seem to stimulate the immune system, which may explain why men are less affected.

Bacterial and Viral Infections and Illnesses

Viruses, bacteria and mycoplasma, a type of small-cell bacteria, are implicated in autoimmune diseases. Often a bout of illness with a virus such as the Epstein- Barr virus triggers the onset of an autoimmune disease.

Toxic Metal Exposure

An estimated twenty-five percent of us have some form of heavy metal poisoning. Studies have shown that exposure to toxic metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminum, nickel and other heavy metals can be linked to the autoimmune process: The heavy metals induce autoantibodies, which then create autoimmune diseases.

Toxic Chemical Exposure

Toxins such as pesticides, solvents, industrial chemicals, even household cleaners and hair dyes are being implicated in autoimmune diseases. These toxins are are everywhere, and they greatly increase the risk of all diseases in general.

Vaccinations/Immunizations

Scientists have found a connection between some autoimmune diseases and vaccinations. In the February 2000 issue of Autoimmunity, ten research articles evaluate the causal link between vaccinations and autoimmune disease. For instance, the controversial anthrax vaccine has been causally linked to the development of autoimmune diseases.

Stress and Trauma

Many people have noticed a direct link between a major stressful life event and the development of an autoimmune disease six to twelve months later. Unmanaged stress is a risk factor for the development of all major diseases, including heart disease and cancer. I myself noticed that I always got much worse symptom-wise during any stressful situations.

Our thoughts and feelings have a direct impact on our immune system. Loneliness is now recognized as the number one predictor of disease due to its immune suppressing action. Laughter and feelings of happiness, on the other hand, increase and enhance the actions of our immune cells.

Smoking

Smoking increases the risk of several autoimmune diseases, primarily because of the chemicals in cigarettes.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Poor diet is an important factor in autoimmunity because poor nutrition compromises the immune system. Processed foods are loaded with chemicals, hormones, steroids, trans-fats and sugars, which promote the creation of free radicals in the body, which in turn damage the cells. 

I decided to break it down to my diet which seemed the most logical to me. I then watched the documentary I stumbled upon called "Fat, Sick and near Death" by Joe Cross.

It seemed to fit the way that I felt, though I don't weigh 300 pounds and don't take medications, but I could lose 70 pounds and get rid of this autoimmune disease.

 I will start on a new frontier for me to lose weight and change my diet. Why not it's the first day of a New Year 2013. I'll ease into it by juice fasting. Vegetable juicing, apple cider ( the pectin in the cider will loosen any stub-urn toxins in inner linings ) and water. I have fasted in the past many times in the for several days on just water, but this time will be different. I will also become a vegetarian for the first time when i'm done fasting.

I will be also increasing my consumption of Omegagize3 to 8 capsules twice daily. It will work on the inflammation.

So I will document my journey to keep me honest and focused with my blog and people I trust in to keep me accountable.

Day 2


All disease begins in the gut.

- Hippocrates

Research over the past two decades has revealed that gut health is critical to overall health, and that an unhealthy gut contributes to a wide range of diseases including diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, autism spectrum disorder, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.

DHA Improves Attention Deficit Disorder

Fish Oil Rich in DHA Improves Attention Deficit Disorder

Children and adults with ADHD may have low levels of certain essential fatty acids (including EPA and DHA) in their bodies. In a study of nearly 100 boys, those with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids demonstrated more learning and behavioral problems (such as temper tantrums and sleep disturbances) than boys with normal omega-3 fatty acid levels. In animal studies, low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to lower the concentration of certain brain chemicals (such as dopamine and serotonin) related to attention and motivation. Studies that examine the ability of omega-3 supplements to improve symptoms of ADHD are still needed. At this point in time, eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids is a reasonable approach for someone with ADHD. However, from practical stand point, the Mercury and other heavy metal contamination of the fish available in USA markets would prevent us from consuming enough fish to provide the adequate Omega 3 fatty acids. The Omega 3 DHA/EPA product manufactured by NOW Foods of Bloomingdale, Illinois, uses the Molecular Filtration to eliminate the heavy metals and provide 500 mg of EPA and 250 mg of DHA. The are produced as Gel Caps which are rather very large and difficult to swallow. They also manufacture the liquid form of DHA/EPA

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects about 10 million children in the United States. A little more than half of these children take amphetamine-type drugs for ADHD each day.

ADHD is a major concern. A child with ADHD will likely experience academic impairment, increased risk of injuries, and problems with self-esteem and socialization. Later in adolescence and adulthood, those with ADHD have a high risk of experiencing depression or anxiety, substance abuse and addictions, traffic accidents, financial problems, vocational underachievement, and social problems.

Numerous studies have now shown that children with ADHD have lower tissue levels of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) when compared with kids without ADHE. Omega-3 (EPA+DHA) supplementation in ADHD has now been studied extensively and is considered a sensible intervention even by many mainstream physicians. Of particular importance is the recognition that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation improves many symptoms of ADHD including impulsive-oppositional behavior, a symptom not typically helped by the pharmaceutical treatment of ADHD.

To determine the effects of fish oils on literacy and behavior in children with ADHD, 90 children ages 7 to 12 years old were given for four months either four 500-mg capsules per day containing an EPA-rich fish oil providing EPA 1,109 mg and DHA 108 mg, a DHA-rich fish oil providing EPA 264 mg and DHA 1,032 mg, or a safflower oil providing linoleic acid 1,467 mg/d.

The major finding was an increased red blood cell level of DHA was associated with improved reading and lower parent ratings of oppositional behavior. Furthermore, when they examined a subgroup of 17 children with learning difficulties: an increased red blood cell level of DHA was associated with improved word reading, improved spelling, an improved ability to divide attention, and lower parent ratings of oppositional behavior, hyperactivity, restlessness, and overall ADHD symptoms.

OmegaGize combines the power of three core daily supplements—omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D-3, and CoQ10 (ubiquinone). These supplements combine with our proprietary enhancement essential oil blend to create an omega-3, DHArich fish oil supplement that may support general wellness.

When I was young I had the good fortune of suffering from bad inhalant allergies. My Dad and some of his siblings had asthma, so it was no surprise that respiration would be a weakness for me, but whatever the reason the effect was miserable. During the height of my allergy season I would carry three different antihistamine medications and every third day would switch from one to the other; I would acclimate to the drugs that fast. I remember wearing sun glasses all day at work, even though I worked in an office, because my eyes looked so miserable and gross that no one wanted to see them. Fortunately this problem was seasonal, but my allergy season lasted several months each year.

As the years passed I mostly outgrew the problem and things calmed down to the point that I blew my nose a lot but didn't take a lot of medication. Then in the early 80's my wife and I moved our family to Las Vegas Nevada and 'wham', my allergies came back with a vengeance. Once again I was miserable and seeking any relief I could find. Fortunately I moved into a neighborhood where a dentist by the name of Bill Roberson lived. One day I was commiserating about my allergies and he said, "It's probably something in your yard that you're not used to." He then explained that he had a technology at his clinic that could identify the problem and help with a solution.

He recommended that I go around my yard, break off a twig of every plant, and brings those twigs to his clinic the next afternoon after he closed and he would test me to see what we could learn. The technology he had wasn't part of his normal practice, he just used it more as a hobby, but he thought it could be helpful.

So the next day I showed up at Bill's clinic with three big grocery bags full of twigs and branches. He then took from a cabinet a device with two electrodes, a meter on the front, and a metal plate on top. He handed me one of the electrodes which was shaped like a brass weight of sorts, and he took the other electrode, a stylus with a small point on the end, and he began to repeatedly press the stylus tip against my fingers. When he applied the stylus the meter would move and the instrument would generate a tone that would change as the meter value changed. In between each stylus application he would put a different twig on the metal plate that was on the top of this instrument.

He explained to me that the twig on the metal plate would influence the amount of electricity flowing through my body from the brass weight I was holding to the stylus, and he would measure that flow each time he applied the stylus to my finger. The stylus was being applied to acupuncture points that related to allergies. It was all new, and frankly a bit weird, but Bill was a credible guy and I needed relief so I was happy for any help I could get.

After emptying my three bags of twigs Bill said, "You're reacting negatively to oleander and pyracantha."

Okay I thought, those are new plants to me so he may be right. He then pulled from his cabinet another instrument, and a small one-ounce glass bottle with a dropper top, and a fifth of vodka. He poured some of the vodka into the glass bottle and secured the top. He then placed the small bottle with the vodka in it into a well on the top of the second instrument, and placed into another adjacent well the oleander and pyracantha twigs. He turned some dials on the front and then told me that this device would transfer energy from the twigs onto the liquid molecule of the vodka. That was really weird. If I hadn't been suffering so acutely and if Bill wasn't credible I probably would have run away, but now I was really curious.

On Bill's instruction I took the bottle home and each day, three times a day, I would place 10 drops under my tongue. On the tenth day my symptoms absolutely disappeared. They didn't just get better, they completely went away. My sinuses stopped draining, the itchy throat was completely gone and the itchy brain feeling was no longer there. It was so sudden, and so definite that it was almost spooky.

Because I had dealt with this problem for so many years and I knew how it went for me, I was suspicious that the oleanders and pyracantha had simply stopped blooming. Nothing had ever given me this kind of relief; there had to be another explanation so I went outside in search of an answer. Along one side of our driveway we had a tall fence that was covered with pyracantha. They were still blooming with full fury. I then went into the back yard where we had a hedge row of oleanders; they were still going strong in full bloom. My assumption that my environment had changed was wrong, it had to be the stuff Bill gave me.

I can't say that I was completely cured of my allergies, I have since experienced short bouts with this problem, but my experience in Las Vegas introduced me to a world I didn't know existed, the world of energy medicine. Since that introduction I have effectively dealt with my allergies using natural means, including homeopathy, nutritional supplements, and herbs, incorporating several aspects of energy medicine.

If you're skeptical of energy medicine in any form you might hear this story and think, "Maybe it was the vodka? Maybe a few drops of vodka for ten days was really all he needed?" That's a question I've asked myself. Because I'm not a drinker I hadn't experimented with vodka as a cure for allergies, but over the years I have acquired substantial experience with many forms and applications of energy and I'm confident that vodka was not the magic bullet.

Bill introduced me to a medical doctor, Fuller Royal, who owned a large clinic in Nevada specializing in natural treatments, many of which were based on energy medicine. Fuller introduced me to Roy Curtin, a PhD in physics who owned a company that built technology similar to what Bill used. It turned out the first of this kind of technology was developed in Germany by a medical doctor named Reinhold Voll and is called EAV, for Electroacupuncture According to Voll. EAV measures electrical anomalies at acupuncture points to identify and treat a variety of health conditions.

I went to work for Roy's company and then started my own company working with the same type of technology. I also opened a full-time practice using the technology and techniques I was developing, selling, and teaching. We developed a system called the Omega AcuBase, which was sold to a competitor in the late 90's. In 2001 I began working on what we now have at ZYTO and after three years of work I thought I had developed a better, faster, next generation of EAV technology, but that is not the case. Instead of interacting with the body's acupuncture system, ZYTO technology measures changes in the electrical properties of the skin and calculates changes in the coherent state of body energy. The process is called biocommunication. It's not diagnostic and it doesn't treat illness, but gathering information from the body using this system can be very informative. Let me explain this further. If we measure the body's energy response when it's stimulated by a computer signal that's been linked to oleander, and that response is negative, we might suspect an allergy. However, the biocommunication experience isn't an allergy test because we're not measuring the things that diagnose allergy. The purpose of biocommunication isn't to diagnose, but to guide the decision making process by providing meaningful information very quickly, and very specifically. For example, I can include in my biocommunication scan all the plants that were include in my original bags of twigs that I took to Bill's office. If my patient responds negatively to oleander I may choose to include oleander in an allergy panel I run on that patient. If the allergy test comes back positive for oleander then I'll make the diagnosis. The biocommunication scan gathered data that guided my decision of what to include in the allergy test, but it did not provide the diagnosis.

The power of ZYTO technology is that it very quickly allows a health practitioner to individualize the diagnostic and treatment plan for an individual patient. Everyone is treated as an individual, not as a statistical component to a larger group. Individualized information is a significant contributor to more positive and more cost effective clinical outcomes.

THE HISTORY BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY

ZYTO technology is based on the dynamic nature of the body and its ability to respond to subtle stimuli. We’re particularly interested in the energetic aspects of anatomy. In traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”) this energy is referred to as chi.

In the 1930’s a French acupuncturist began experimenting with the electrical properties of skin and discovered that acupuncture points are more electrically conductive than surrounding tissue. In the early 1950’s his research was built upon by German physician, Reinholdt Voll, MD. Voll collaborated in the design and development of a measurement device called a Dermatron. The Dermatron measured, by means of a stylus that was manually applied to an acupuncture point, the electrical potential of the skin. He discovered that the energetic characteristics were reflective of the health or condition of the organ or body system associated with each acupuncture point.

Voll, and a number of colleagues, mapped hundreds of points on the body and their corresponding relationships. Voll also developed and incorporated into the Dermatron a micro-stimulator used to treat points showing abnormal readings. His technique became known as Electroacupuncture According to Voll (“EAV”).

Part of Voll’s technique involved the testing of medicine. Voll discovered that a medicine, brought into proximity of the body, could have an effect on the electrical characteristics of the skin being measured. He developed an elaborate system of measuring points for the purpose of diagnosis and then introducing a variety of medicines until he had the combination that resulted in an energetic balance to the acupuncture points.

EAV was introduced into the United States in the 1970’s. Beginning around 1980 American scientists and engineers computerized the process. Their computer systems included the gathering and recording of data from the body, and a method for “computerizing medicine,” thus creating a virtual representation of the medicine and then generating a signal or frequency using that virtual representation to effect the body in a way similar to what Voll was doing when he moved the actual medicine into proximity of his patient. Early computerized devices included the AcuPath 1000 and the Interro. The Interro was developed and sold by a company named Esion Corporation (“Esion”).

In 1985 Dr. Cook was introduced to Roy Curtin, PhD, President and Owner of Esion, and in 1986 went to work for that company. During his tenure there he worked in sales and training and became familiar with every aspect of the business and Esion’s technology, including the Interro. In 1988 Dr. Cook left Esion and started a company named Digital Health Corp. (“Digital Health”) There he developed of a new computerized EAV system he named “Omega AcuBase.” This system was the first of its kind to be registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). In 1997 Dr. Cook sold this technology to BioMeridian Corporation (“BioMeridian”). For a short time thereafter, Dr. Cook worked for BioMeridian in sales, training, and eventually as its President. In 1998 Dr. Cook left BioMeridian, focusing his efforts on Digital Health’s business, including training and technology that was non-competitive with BioMeridian.

In 2001 Dr. Cook independently began development of what is now ZYTO technology and began selling it in late 2004 through Digital Health. At the end of 2004 Dr. Cook organized Zyto NV and transferred this technology to ZYTO NV. This technology included certain intellectual property consisting of the right granted by Dr. Cook to develop the Hand Cradle and Tower, the initial software package, and the methods of programming computerized stimuli called “Virtual Stimulus Items” or “VSI.” Since ZYTO’s organization, under the direction of Dr. Cook, we have continuously pursued product enhancement and further development. During the intervening years we have released three new versions of the software and developed market specific applications, for example the Compass. We have also redesigned hardware, including the hand cradle. The new design is USB and has a cleaner, sleeker look.

During the last 25 years Dr. Cook has been involved in the development and sale of technology, and during many of those years was also actively involved in clinical practice as the owner of Utah Acupuncture Clinic and Meridian Health Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. This clinical experience has strongly influenced the technology Dr. Cook has developed, including ZYTO’s current products.

Colloidal Silver so what does it do?

Silver deficiency is responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system concludes Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. who has conducted extensive research into the curative properties of sliver for many years at the Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. Dr. Becker's experiments conclude that silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any side effects or damage to the body.

He also states that silver does more than kill disease-causing organisms. Silver causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and even elderly patients notice more rapid healing. He discovered that cancer cells can change back to normal cells.

All strains of pathogens resistant to other antibiotics are killed by silver. The March 1978 issue of Science Digest, in an article, "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter," reported: "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine.

An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic." The article ended with a quote by Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have."

HOW IT WORKS

The presence of Colloidal Silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.

Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, Colloidal Silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Thus Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.

Colloidal Silver is the result of an electro-magnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver into a liquid such as water. These microscopic particles can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body. Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that all one celled bacteria fungi and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. In short, the bad guys suffocate.

Unlike with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to develop. In fact, antibiotics are only effective against perhaps a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Because no known disease causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver, colloidal silver is effective against more than 650 different disease causing pathogens.

Since there is not enough room to list all the diseases against which Colloidal Silver has been used successfully, here is a tiny sample; acne allergies appendicitis, arthritis, blood parasites, bubonic plague, burns - colloidal silver is one of the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive, cancer, cholera, conjunctivitis, diabetes, gonorrhea hay fever, herpes, leprosy, leukemia lupus, Lyme disease malaria, meningitis parasitic infections both viral and fungal, pneumonia, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, shingles, skin cancer, staph infections, strep infectious, syphilis, toxemia, trench foot, all forms of viruses, warts and stomach ulcer. In addition it also has veterinary uses such as canine parvo virus.

You'll also find Colloidal Silver very handy in the garden and bathroom since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and viral attacks on plants and humans. Spray diluted colloidal Silver on plant leaves, and add to soil water. Colloidal Silver gets quickly to the body cells. Keep a spray bottle of it in the bathroom for feet, hands & face.

INGESTING COLLOIDAL SILVER

Taken orally, the silver solution is absorbed from the mouth into the bloodstream then transported quickly to the body cells. Swishing the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing ensures fast absorption, In three to four days the silver will have accumulated in the tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin.

Since Colloidal Silver is eliminated by the kidneys, lymph system and bowel after three weeks, a regular daily intake is recommended as a protection against dangerous pathogens. In cases of minor burns, an accumulation of Colloidal Silver can hasten healing, reducing scar tissue and infection The lives of millions of people susceptible to chronic low-grade inflections can be enhanced by this powerful preventative health measure

FOR CHRONIC OR SERIOUS CONDITIONS

Take double or triple. the recommended amount for 10 to 45 days, then drop to the maintenance dose. If your body is extremely ill or toxic do not be in a hurry to clear up everything at once. If pathogens are killed off too quickly, the body's five eliminatory channels, i.e., the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs and bowel, may be temporarily overloaded, causing flu-like conditions, headache, extreme fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles.

Ease off on the Colloidal Silver to the maintenance amount and increase your distilled water intake, Regular bowel movements are a must in order to relieve the discomforts of detoxification. Resolve to reduce sugar and saturated fats from the diet, and exercise more. Given the opportunity, the body's natural ability to heal will amaze you.

TOPICAL USES

Colloidal Silver is painless on burns, cuts, abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for a stuffy nose, arid even in a persons eyes because unlike antiseptics, it does not destroy tissue cells. It is perfect with cosmetics, creams and lotions. Spray on then add your favorite beauty product.

TOLERANCE TO DISEASE ORGANISMS

It is impossible for single celled germs to mutate into silver resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore no tolerance to Colloidal Silver ever develops. Also, Colloidal Silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicine being taken.

Inside the body, silver forms no toxic compounds nor reacts with anything other than a germ's oxygen metabolization. Colloidal Silver is truly a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind's ills. It would appear highly unlikely that even germ warfare agents could survive an encounter with Colloidal Silver.

Since viruses like Ebola and Hunta, or even the dreaded "flesh-eating bacteria" are in the end merely hapless viruses and bacteria. To top it off Colloidal Silver is non-toxic, making it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets. In short, anything bigger than a one-cell animal seems to like it.

Nor should one have to worry about the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) being put in charge of this home remedy. Colloidal Silver is grand fathered as a pre 1938 healing modality. This makes it exempt from FDA jurisdiction.

SO WHAT DOESN'T COLLOIDAL SILVER DO?

It doesn't interact with any other medications. It doesn't upset the stomach and in fact is a digestive aid. It does not sting the eyes. Medical journal reports and documented studies spanning the past 100 years indicate no known side effects from oral or IV administration of colloidal silver in animal or human testing.

Colloidal silver has been used with good results under the most demanding health care circumstances. Without overstating the case, it may be time to recognize colloidal silver as not only the safest medicine on Earth but also the most powerful.

WHAT IS IT? Questions and Answers About Colloidal Silver

Colloidal Silver is a pure all-natural substance consisting of sub-microscopic clusters of silver held in a suspension of pure ionized water by a tiny electric charge placed on each particle.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Colloidal Silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic. It is the most usable form of the most effective  disease, germ, virus and fungal killer known. It has been found to be both a remedy and a prevention for colds, flu, all infections and all fermentation due to any bacteria fungus or virus - especially staph and strep which are often found in disease conditions.

It has been reported to rapidly subdue inflammation and promote faster healing. The body needs Colloidal Silver to fight disease causing organisms and to aid healing. Taken daily, Colloidal Silver provides a second immune system resulting in more energy, vitality, vigor, relaxation, faster healing and reduced bodily toxins.

Artificial antibiotics kill, on average 6 different disease organisms but Colloidal Silver is known to kill over 650 diseases without any harmful side effects or toxicity.

SILVER IN OUR BODIES?

We get silver and all minerals in our bodies through the food we eat. This comes directly from organic soil. This soil is rich in living organisms. These microbes break down the soil so plants are provided minerals in a form assimilable to the plant.

Hence, we get silver naturally from the minerals present in organically grown plants. If we eat plants that have been grown on chemical fertilizers as most plants are grown today without sufficient living organisms in the soil to provide nutrition to the crops we do not get the quantity of vitamins and minerals which. are available in organically grown foods.

Thus deficiencies develop. As we age our ability to assimilate silver decreases. We develop a silver deficiency and an impaired immune system that can lead to cancer and other degenerative diseases. Dr Robert Becker noticed a correlation between low silver levels and sickness.

People who had low levels of silver were frequently sick, had innumerable colds, flu, fevers and other maladies. He believes a silver deficiency is the reason for improper functioning of the immune system. He found that silver worked on a wide range of bacteria without any side effects or damage to the cells of the body and can stimulate significant growth of injured tissues.

WHY SILVER?

Silver has benefitted mankind's health for thousands of years. In ancient Greece and Rome people used silver containers to keep liquids fresh. American settlers traveling across the West put a silver dollar in milk to delay its spoiling.

Around the turn of the century doctors prescribed silver nitrate for stomach ulcers and it has been common practice to put a few drops of a silver solution in the eyes of a newborn baby to kill bacteria that might cause blindness. A silver compound - silver sulfadiazine is used in 70 per cent of the burn centers in the U.S. It helps stop the herpes virus.

Note: it is not the silver in dental fillings that is harmful but the mercury which is a deadly poison.

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF COLLOIDAL SILVER?

Colloidal Silver was widely used 60 to 70 years ago when, among other reasons, the cost became prohibitive about $100 per ounce in 1930 dollars. The quicker, more specific and fast acting man made antibiotics became prevalent in the 1940's. High quality Colloidal Silver can now be produced at low cost.

WHAT ARE THE KEY CHARACTERISTICS?

Colloidal Silver is non-toxic, non-addictive and has no side effects. The body develops no tolerance and one cannot overdose. Colloidal Silver cannot cause harm to the liver, kidneys or any other organ in the body.

It is safe for pregnant and nursing women and even aids the developing fetus in growth and health as well as easing the mother's delivery and recovery. Colloidal Silver is odorless, tasteless, non-stinging, harmless to eyes, contains no free radicals, is harmless to human enzymes and has no reaction with other medications. It improves digestion, aids in the regeneration of damaged cells and tissues, helps prevent colds, flu and organism caused diseases .

HAS IT BEEN CLINICALLY TESTED?

YES! Colloidal Silver has been successfully tested at the UCLA Medical Labs where it killed every virus on which it was tested.

WHAT DOES THE FDA SAY?

According to the United States Government Food and Drug Administration Colloidal Silver may continue to be marketed and used as it was originally intended. Colloidal Silver exceeds FDA recognized standards for safety. In a September 13, 1991 letter written by Harold Davies, U.S. Food and Drug Administration Consumer Safety Officer stated that FDA has no jurisdiction regarding a pure, mineral element.

WHAT ABOUT COLLOIDAL SILVER FOR AIDS?

Since in active AIDS, the suppressed immune system of the body is open to all kinds of disease.

Colloidal Silver is the perfect nontoxic medicine to use for its wide spectrum antibiotic effect. A researcher at Brigham Young University sent Colloidal Silver to two different labs including UCLA Medical Center, and reported "It not only killed the HIV virus but every virus that was tested in the labs. According to FDA rules, Colloidal Silver cannot be used for treating the HIV virus, but it could be used as an antibiotic for all acquired diseases of active AIDS.

WHAT OTHER USES ARE THERE FOR COLLOIDAL SILVER?

Tests prove, due to the high absorption of silver in the small intestine, the friendly bacteria in the  large intestine are not affected. All bacterial, viral and fungal organisms are killed within 6 minutes of contact. Higher silver content in the body causes faster and more frequent contact with these organisms.

No disease causing organism can live in the presence of simple silver. The following is a partial list of the more than 650 diseases that Colloidal Silver has been successfully used against: Acne, Arthritis, Athlete's Foot, Toxemia, Blood Poisoning, Burns, Cancer, Conjunctivitis, Dermatitis, Diabetes, Dysentery, Eczema, Fibrositis, Gastritis, Gonorrhea, Impetigo, Keratitis, Leprosy, Lupus, Pymphagitis, Malaria, Meningitis, Pleurisy, Prostatitis, Psoriasis, Ophthalmia, Ringworm, Rhinitis Rosacea, Scarlet Fever, Seborrhea, Septicemia, Shingles, Skin Cancer, Staph Infection, Herpes Virus, Ulcers, Strep, Tonsillitis, Trenchfoot, Tuberculosis, Viral Warts, Whooping Cough, Yeast Infections.

COLLOIDAL SILVER VERSUS PHARMACEUTICAL ANTIBIOTICS

Interest in Colloidal Silver has increased recently because illness causing organisms do not to build up a resistance to Colloidal Silver the way they do to pharmaceutical antibiotics. Antibiotics are becoming less effective as resistance to them grows.

The Los Angeles Times states "In the last decade, a broad resistance to antibiotics has begun to emerge. Because bacteria can transfer genes among themselves, experts only expect the resistance to grow, The potential nightmare is an Andromeda strain, which is immune to all antibiotics and could wreak havoc Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing as Resistant Bacteria Develop October 23, 1994.

In the early 1900's an antibacterial solution called Colloidal Silver became the medication of choice of medical practitioners. It proved to be enormously effective against infectious organisms and extremely safe to use without the negative side effects associated with drugs.

Colloidal Silver became increasingly expensive during the precious metals crisis during the depression. Then pharmaceutical companies developed antibiotics as we know them today. Silver took a back seat. However, as usual, when we deviate from nature unforeseen problems develop.

Forty years after the advent of antibiotics many types of disease causing organisms have developed an immunity to their action. Over the years the medical establishment has reported on the new strains of "Super Bugs" that cannot be destroyed by antibiotics.

Newsweek Magazine reported in March 28, 1994 that in 1992 13,000 hospital patients died of infections that resisted every drug doctors administered. Also a well known fact is the detrimental effect of antibiotics on the naturally occurring flora in the colon. Colloidal Silver does not disturb this very necessary environment.

Fortunately, the timely re-emergence of Colloidal Silver due to new technology and much reduced costs in production, may prove to be one of the best developments in modern science. The public now has a remedy to protect themselves.

In 1834, the German obstetrician F. Crede administered a 1% silver nitrate to the eyes of newborn infants virtually eliminating the incidence of disease causing blindness in newborn babies. However, it was not until the late 1800's that Western scientists were able to prove what had been known in Eastern medicine for thousands of years - that silver is a proven germ fighter!

Once the discovery was made that the body's chief fluids were colloidal in nature, the endless possibilities which could occur from the use of colloids in medicine were recognized. As a result, a silver solution known as Colloidal Silver became widely used in medicine as one of the mainstays of antimicrobial treatment. "What we actually have done is rediscover that silver kills bacteria" states Dr. Robert Becker M. D. "It is nontoxic in micro-concentrations of 3-5 parts per million."

And now it's silver that is finding wholly new uses as a wonder in modern medicine. Perhaps it soon will be recognized as OUR MIGHTIEST GERM FIGHTER." Science Digest, March 1978. Silver is considered to be one of the most universal antibiotic substances known.

Jim Powell reported in the Science Digest article quoted above, that an antibiotic kills perhaps 7 different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is nontoxic! The comeback of silver in medicine began in the 1970's.

The late Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery received a grant to develop a better treatment for burn victims. Dr. Harry Margraf of St. Louis, as the chief biochemist, worked with Dr. Moyer and other surgeons to find an antiseptic strong enough yet safe enough to use over larger areas of the body. Dr. Margraf reviewed 22 antiseptic compounds and found drawbacks in all of them.

He noted that many of these antibiotics were ineffective against a number of harmful bacteria, including the biggest killer in burn cases a greenish blue bacterium called Pseudomonas acruginose. In extensive trials silver proved to be the most effective treatment and is currently used in all major bum centers in the United States.

The safest proven germ fighter! SILVER IS USED IN ALL MAJOR BURN CENTERS IN THE UNITED STATES. UCLA MEDICAL LABS FOUND IT EFFECTIVE ON EVERY VIRUS THEY TESTED IT ON.

WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER?

Colloidal Silver is a tasteless, odorless, nontoxic, pure, natural substance consisting of submicroscopic clusters of silver particles, suspended by a tiny electric charge placed on each particle within a suitable liquid. The molecules size is .00001 microns or 1.26 angstroms in diameter which is very small.

The particles do not settle but remain suspended since the electric charge exerts more force than gravity on each particle. Colloidal is the form of choice for silver delivery since the body must convert a crystalline solution to a colloid before it can be assimilated. Taken daily, it is a powerful adjunct to our immune system.

It kills harmful disease causing organisms and aids healing. Silver and all minerals are obtained from the food we eat. This comes directly from organic soil containing living organisms. These organisms assist in making the minerals available to the vegetation.

If we eat fruits and vegetables grown on chemical fertilizers we do not get the necessary quantity of vitamins, minerals and trace elements which occur in organically grown foods. This is because these chemicals are detrimental to vital soil micro-organisms. Plants don't drink water. They EAT micro-organisms in the soil that have absorbed moisture and digested minerals.

HOW DOES COLLOIDAL SILVER WORK?

According to medical journals from around the world, it disables the particular enzyme that all one celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. Colloidal Silver co-mingles with the blood and enters the cells to seek out and destroy harmful organisms. It suffocates them in six minutes or less after initial contact. This phenomenon was recently demonstrated in tests at UCLA Medical Lab. Trace amounts protect and strengthen the immune system.

USES OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

For several decades the clinical use of Silver have been proven in the treatment of burns as well as eye, ear, nose, throat, vaginal, rectal and urinary tract infections. Silver has been prescribed in medicine as an aid to the brain, reproductive disorders in women and the circulatory system.

It has been used as a remedy for mental imbalances, sleepwalking and anorexia nervosa. Additional uses include the treatment of AIDS, allergies, anthrax, arthritis, blood poisoning, boils, wounds of the cornea, chronic fatigue, cerebral spinal meningitis, candida, cholera, colitis, cystitis, diabetes, diptheria, dysentery, enlarged prostate, gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis, infantile diseases, lesions, leukemia, lupus, lyme disease, parasites, dental plaque remover, rheumatism, ringworm shingles, skin cancer, staph and strep infections, stomach flu, thyroid conditions, tonsillitis, toxemia, stomach ulcers and whooping cough to name a few.

It is even used as a natural under arm deodorant and handy for virtually every medical circumstance for humans, plants and animals around the home and farm.

TOPICAL APPLICATION OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

Liquid silver as well as new gel formulations, may be applied directly to the skin. A few drops on a Q-tip or band-aid may be used to disinfect any wound or sore. Liquid silver is administered orally and can also be injected. It can be used vaginally, anally, atomized or inhaled into the nose or lungs and dropped into the eyes.

To start, take one teaspoon per day, for seven days, then reduce to half a teaspoon per day. Children should use proportionally smaller doses. For cold and flu symptoms up to a tablespoon three times daily is recommended. Overdosing should not be of concern even if more than the recommended dose is administered.

After a few days of use, one might experience a detoxification effect in the form of feeling sluggish or mild aches. Consumption of water will cause these symptoms to disappear.

It is safe for pregnant and nursing women and is known to aid the developing fetus in growth. It will not generate free radicals or interfere with enzyme activity. It has no reaction with other medications. Colloidal Silver can spoil. The container and dropper must be amber glass or an opaque plastic to preserve the silver in liquid suspension for any length of time.

A 65-year-old diabetic cut himself on the leg. He washed and bandaged it but, as often happens with diabetes, the pain persisted. The cut grew into a sore. Soon it became bigger than the bandage and he had to apply a dressing. Still, it grew bigger and ugly. In desperation he went to a clinic. His sore was diagnosed as a stasis ulcer.

For a year, one treatment after another was tried. Nothing including penicillin and sulfonamide, could heal the ulcer. If his condition had continued unchecked is leg probably would have been amputated. But finally he was referred to a burn clinic that treated skin ulcers with a silver compound. This promptly stopped the growth of all bacteria. In less than two months, the ulcer was completely healed. Science Digest-March 1978

WHAT DO HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SAY ABOUT COLLOIDAL SILVER?

According to Dr. Evan of Illinois, Kansas "We have had instant success with Colloidal Silver and immune compromised patients. A few examples are: Pink eye (topical) totally resolved in less than six hours; recurrent sinus infections (oral ingestion) resolved in eight days; acute cuticle infections resolved twenty four hours.

Another major area in which we have improved our clinical results is in the area of bowel detoxification and dysbiosis. The colloidal silver has provided excellent removal of abnormal intestinal bacteria also it has proved to be a great adjunct to our Candida albicans, Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome protocols.

"What we have actually done is rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria which has been known for centuries. When antibiotics were discovered, clinical uses for silver as an antibiotic were discarded." concludes Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. Extensive research into the curative properties of sliver has been conducted for many years at the Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY under the direction of Dr. Becker.

The experiments conclude that silver works on a wide range of bacteria without any known side effects or damage to the cells of the body. Silver does something more than kill disease-causing organisms. It was also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Dr. Becker concludes that the presence of the silver ion may help to regenerate tissue, eliminate old or cancerous cells and any other diseased or abnormal condition.

Dr. Henry Crooks in Use of Colloids in Health-Disease found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely nontoxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he concluded "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six minutes."

Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrorn of the Larolinska Institute, Sweden has successfully used silver as a component in his cancer treatments for many years.

Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, M. D. at John Hopkins states, "Speaking generally, the colloidal metals are especially remarkable for their beneficial action in infective states."

Dr, Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute, which monitors silver technology in 37 countries, reports: "In four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for silver. We're just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering."

MORE INFORMATION

A colloid consists of minute particles that float within a liquid despite the pull of gravity. To stay in suspension for any length of time these particles must be smaller than 1 micron or 1/1000 of an inch.

When fresh produce is processed through a juicer, a colloid results in the form of a glass of juice. Drinking fresh juices makes it possible to consume far more nutrients than by eating. Because juice is considered a pre-digested food the body can process large amounts with minimal effort and correspondingly net better health results.

As a juice colloid sits, the large particles begin to fall out of suspension and settle at the bottom of the container. To evenly distribute the contents it is common to shake up a bottle of juice before drinking.

In the case of colloidal silver, silver particles are pulled off of a pure silver electrode that is immersed in water by applying a low voltage electric current, giving each particle an electric charge. This charge, though long lasting, is not permanent and both daylight and time will cause a colloid to lose its charge.

This loss is referred to as "falling out" or "plating out". Colloidal Silver passes through the stomach lining and into the blood stream where it circulates for about a week before elimination. While colloidal silver is light sensitive, it is not nearly as light sensitive as camera film. If taken to the beach under mid-day California summer sun colloidal silver can be expected to oxidize in about ten minutes.

Indoors, under ambient and artificial light, colloidal silver will oxidize in about three days. This only means that once made, colloidal silver should be stored in tinted or opaque containers, preferably amber glass. Many colloidal silver manufacturers claim that if the silver particles are "too large" the resulting brew will prove injurious to the public health. The truth can be found in many science text books.

When applying current to silver in solution metallic silver will always break off at the same size 1.26 angstroms or .00001 microns. This particle is so small that the next stop on the road to smallness is the atom itself.

Colloids are by nature the smallest particles matter can be divided into while still retaining individual characteristics. Reducing a piece of metallic silver into a cloud of microscopic particles greatly extends its total surface area enhancing bio-availability thus deepening its penetration into the cell.

Because the silver particles are charged, they strive to combine with other elements in the solution. Trace elements exist even in distilled water and when the charged silver panicles combine with a specific trace element, the solution will turn one of a number of colors like gray, yellow, green or brown whatever element the silver chooses is largely irrelevant.

Once in the body silver releases its bond in search of stronger attachments in an effort to stabilize its charge. Therefore, once the silver colloid has entered the body, the original silver particles measuring 1.26 angstroms (about the size of fifteen atoms) quickly pass through the stomach lining and into the blood stream where they circulate for about a week before elimination.

YELLOW COLLOIDAL SILVER

The real reason yellow colored colloidal silver is favored by most manufacturers is not because it is more effective than other types, but because it has a longer shelf life before falling out of solution.

This stability in solution doesn't automatically translate into a smaller combined particle size between the silver ion and the trace element which it has attached itself to. It may simply be that the trace element which the silver has combined with is more water soluble.

The most effective colloidal silver is not a question of color, but of freshness and highest concentration density. A disadvantage of the yellow colloidal silver is its bitter taste, unlike the silver colored colloid. Also, the yellow solution is more difficult to make. When using a 127-volt generator, it is helpful to reduce the water volume to mitigate the much longer activation time that the yellow solution requires.

There is no medical evidence that the yellow colloid is more effective than the silver colored colloid. People can always create and compare the effects of the yellow and silver solutions for themselves. To make the yellow solution, use a tall narrow glass with six to eight ounces of distilled water. Use no saline solution.

The water will not gain conductivity as it does when saline is added, so the process will take about forty-five minutes. It will produce a concentration of around ten parts per million. Be sure to keep an eye on the color of your solution or it will eventually turn a murky brown and then black. If this happens, just throw it out and start over.

MAKING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER

As more silver ions travel through the water, the current flow increases which alters the physical parameters necessary for colloidal silver production. The result is a process time limit of about fifteen minutes when using distilled water with saline solution.

To create high concentrations of silver, you can heat the water. For every 10 degrees that the water is heated above room temperature, the parts per trillion (ppm) will be doubled. Therefore if 5 ppm results after seven minutes of activation with sixteen ounces of water at 72 degrees, then 82 degrees would yield 10 ppm, and 92 degrees would deliver 20 ppm, etc.

For heating purposes, do not use a tea pot because of the pot's calcification. Use something cleaner like a stainless steel cooking pot before pouring water into a glass, or 1 qt "Vison ware" glass pan

The body's ability to process the tiny atoms of colloidal silver makes silver build-up in the body impossible. The Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center reports a No Toxicity listing for colloidal silver. In fact, it appears that harmlessness is one of the best attributes of colloid physiology, regardless of content.

For example, when examining a bottle of colloidal minerals from the local health food store one can notice arsenic, nickel and lead among the sixty-five trace minerals listed in the contents. In other words, if the particles are small enough, you can even drink arsenic.

Since the body is known to have a vital need for silver to maintain both the immune system and the production of new healthy cells, and due to the harmonious nature of colloids entering the body, it stands within reason that colloidal silver may be harmless. Just to prove the point make a sixteen-ounce solution of well over 250 ppm and drink it. It's plenty safe. This makes sense according to Capitol Drugs pharmacist Ron Barnes, PhD. "Many strains of pathogenic microbes, viruses, fungi, bacteria or any other single celled pathogen resistant to other antibiotics are killed on contact by colloidal silver, and are unable to mutate.

However, it does not harm tissue-cell enzymes and friendly bacteria. Cut two flowers in the back yard and leave one on a shelf without water for twenty-four hours. When picked up the next day it will be completely limp. Make a fresh cut at the bottom of the stem, then place it in a glass of high concentrate colloidal silver.

Each day it will get better. On the third day, the stem will become firm again as if it had just been cut. Not a single petal will be lost. The second flower that was cut should have been placed immediately in ordinary water. Many of its petals will have already fallen. Though the flower was in water from the start, it is already dying. You will add Colloidal Silver to flower water from then on.

NEW RESEARCH

Understanding Quality: In recent years Colloidal Silver manufacturers have advanced the state of the art and set new standards for quality. However, there are inferior products on the market that can be of little or no value. Below are some tips to help you find a quality product.

Color: Can be used as an indicator of quality. Large useless particles, and impurities, product various tints. Colored products will fall out of suspension. Particle Size: To be effective, the silver particles must be small enough to penetrate the targeted organisms. Always buy Colloidal Silver with a maximum particle size of 1 ANGSTROM or less. TPV: (Therapeutic Particles per Volume) is the proper way to measure strength. A silver dollar in a cup of water has a "concentration" of 92,690 PPM (Parts Per Million). But it has zero therapeutical particles in solution. Look for products with 2 billion particles or more per ounce.

Benefits of Hemp

Hemp seed is the basis to legal, non-drug hemp foods around the world. Hemp foods include non-dairy milk, snack bars, pasta, sauces and more. Its nutritional content is second to none. So why is this "super-food" not enjoyed at everyone`s dinner table?

Hemp is a legal cousin of "cannabis" or the illegal/ medicinal form of hemp that contains the drug ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol or THC for short. Hemp seed contains none of this THC, but what it does contain is worth having. 24% protein includes the full range of amino acids as well as a balanced source of Essential Fatty Acids or EFAs#1. EFAs include omega-3 and omega-6, which help us keep a healthy immune system, and are responsible for shiny healthy looking skin, hair and nails. A reduction in the craving for junk foods is also noticeable among many regular consumers of hemp seed and hemp food products.

Hemp Oil is the crushed and pressed seed and offers the most nutritional bang for your buck. After just one to two weeks of 1-2 tablespoons per day you are likely to experience a significant effect on your skin quality. Some even say that hemp oil is a cure for cancer#6, though this has not yet been backed up or proven in blind studies. This may be useful for breastfeeding mums, as it is known that during breastfeeding the child pulls 11 grams of EFAs from the mother daily through her breast milk. This needs to be replenished from food source as it cannot be manufactured in the body.

Hemp Foods have been around for centuries, including hemp oil being mentioned in the Bible #2. So why the controversy? Since the end of the 20th Century there has been little controversy with hemp foods growing in popularity; most people seem to have grown out of the "oh, that`s a drug and can`t be good for me" and into the "would you like a hemp bar in your lunch box today?"

The situation for hemp is not the same all over the world. In Australia for example, although you can legally grow hemp (again, without the drug ingredient), Hemp Foods are not legal#3! In North America, this is the opposite - hemp foods are purported to be worth $100million#4, yet you cannot grow a commercial hemp crop for love nor money (at least legally). The lucky Canadians who supply much of this are enjoying the benefits of a 1/2 billion and growing industry.

Hemp protein contains all of the Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). EAAs are the building blocks of protein, but because the body does not manufacture them itself, they must be included in the diet. During digestion proteins in food are broken down into amino acids. These amino acids are then taken into the body and reassembled into human proteins.

Hemp is unique in that it is comprised of 65% high quality Edestin protein, the most powerful protein of any plant source and 35% Albumin. This closely resembles the globulin in blood plasma and is highly compatible with the human digestive system. Globulins are one of seven classes of simple proteins constructed from amino acids and contain no non-protein substances. Globular protein is the third most abundant protein in the human body and carries out many of the bodily functions required for living.

Hemp protein helps support the immune system.

Hemp protein is the only plant protein that supplies Edestin and Albumin. These two blood proteins not only allow the other nutrients of hemp protein powder to digest and enter into the body faster, but also help create antibodies to improve the immune system. These proteins perform many enzymatic functions but, more importantly, they are responsible for both the natural and acquired immunity a person has against invading organisms. The body needs the right kinds of amino acids in sufficient quantities in order to make proteins such as the globulins, but these quantities may not be available to the body all of the time. Therefore, even if the body has enough essential amino acids available to prevent deficiency diseases, it may not have enough to build the quantities of immunoglobulins necessary for the immune system to prevent infection. The best way to guarantee the body has enough amino acid material to make the globulins is to eat foods high in globulin proteins. Eating hemp protein will ensure the immune system has the reservoir of immunoglobulins needed to make disease-destroying antibodies.

Hemp protein contains enzymes that assist in breaking down food. Because hemp contains a large amount of Globulin Edistin, it has the enzymes necessary for the breakdown of and rebuilding of proteins. Without these enzymes, you would not be able to convert the protein from your food into anything useful that the body could absorb. The enzymes found in hemp protein help make the most effective use of the amino acids that result from a high protein diet.

Hemp protein contains all of the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). EFAs are fats that are essential for our body, but cannot be created and must be obtained through our diet. If we do not get these essential fats, then we can get many health problems. EFAs are present in hemp protein in the perfect ratios, with around 80% of the fat in hemp seeds being unsaturated EFAs. EFAs are polyunsaturated fatty acids and there are two families: Omega-3 (Alpha-Linolenic acid) and Omega-6 (Linoleic acid) and these play an important role in several physiological functions in our body. The body converts Omega-3 into Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexanoic acid (DHA). EPA helps in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, while DHA is necessary for brain and nerve development. Most people consume much more of Omega-6 fatty acid than Omega-3 fatty acid. Ideally these should be consumed in a ratio of about 3:1, i.e. for three Omega-6, eat one Omega-3 fatty acid.

Hemp protein has this correct 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as the important hormone balancing acid, Gamma-Linolenic Acid. Omega-3 fatty acids are derived from Linolenic acid, Omega-6 from Linoleic acid, both of which are found in hemp. The balance of Linoleic should be twice as much as Linolenic and hemp seeds contain this 2:1 ratio. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have many benefits and are also important in the prevention and treatment of the following health conditions: Alzheimer's disease, Asthma, Cancer, Cardiovascular disease, Depression, Diabetes, Eczema, Eye disease, High blood pressure, Migraine headaches, Multiple sclerosis, Obesity, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis and Rheumatoid arthritis.

Hemp protein helps balance the pH level of our bodies. pH is a measure of the level of acidity and our bodies should be mostly neutral, leaning just a bit towards lower levels of acidity. However, modern foods create a much more acidic pH, which is inhibiting to growth and generally feeling healthy. So, using hemp protein is a great way to get the pH back to its optimal level.

Hemp protein contains a huge amount of fiber. Fiber is necessary for cleaning out the body and the type of fibre found in hemp seeds is the type that is harder to find in our general diet. So regular use of hemp protein ensures we are getting an adequate supply of vital fiber in our diet. Hemp protein is extremely rich in essential nutrients. These include: calcium, chlorophyll, magnesium, sulphur, phytosterols, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, histidine, iron, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin and thiamine. Hemp protein contains no gluten. Therefore Hemp protein is suitable for people with gluten intolerance such as celiac disease.

So next time you visit a health food store or supermarket, don`t forget to check the aisles for some hemp foods and experience the hemp difference today!
