The seven-time Nobel
Prize nominee, Dr. Johanna Budwig, a pioneer of Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) research, reported
success in treating heart infraction, arthritis, cancer and other common
diseases with massive doses of EFA's. Dr. Budwig's research indicates
that many of these killer and crippling diseases may be caused in part by
our diet of saturated fat and trans-fat, which are present in much of the
food we eat. According to this healing Doctor, saturated fat and trans-fat
befuddle the electronic charge of the unsaturated oils, which are present in
cell membranes.
"This decreases the
cells ability to receive and store electrons from the sun, which according
to Budwig is a key factor in human health"
Alternatively, a
balanced diet of EFAs keeps the charge of the unsaturated fats in the cells
membranes working properly and electron rich. As Budwig herself explains:
"The sun's rays are
very much in harmony with humans. It is no coincidence that we love the sun.
The resonance in our biological tissue is so strongly tuned to the
absorption of solar energy that physicists who occupy themselves with this
scientific phenomenon, the quantum biologists say that there is nothing on
earth that has a higher concentration of solar energy photons than humans.
This enrichment with solar energy depends strongly on the like energy
aspects, a wavelength that is compatible with humans, and this is supported
when we eat foods that have electromagnetic waves of solar rays--the photon.
An abundance of these electrons, which are tuned to the solar energy
frequency, exist, for example, in many seed oils. Scientifically these
oils have even been designated as electron-rich, essential, highly
unsaturated fats. (Budwig 1992)
Dr. Budwig states that when
we began to homogenize vegetable oils so that they would store better, we
unknowingly changed their EFA content into saturated fats in the ensuing
heating process. These EFAs robbed, thus electron poor "promote the
emergence of cancer.... They behave like tar, as insulators relative to the
transport of electrons in living tissue." Alternatively, "electron-rich
highly unsaturated oils... increase the absorption, storage and utilization
of the sun's energy".
Dr. Budwig relates that
after her ailing patients have been treated with an EFA rich diet and then
"lie in the sun, they notice they feel much better-rejuvenated"; (Budwig
1992) "On the other hand, nowadays we frequently observe that the heart
fails on sunny beaches and not infrequently heart attacks occur. We can
observe some individuals in our time experiencing stress from exposure to
the sun’s energy, whereas others respond with dynamic improvement in all
vital functions. The stimulating effect that sunshine has on the secretions
of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, bladder, and salivary glands is easy
to observe. These organs only dry out upon exposure to sunshine when the
substance that stimulates secretions is missing. The decisive factor in all
these observations is whether the surface-active, electron-rich, highly
unsaturated fats are present as a resonating system for solar energy, or, if
they are missing. The doctor tells cancer patients to avoid the sun; that
they can't tolerate the sun. As soon as these patients - also cancer
patients - were placed on my oil-Protein diet for just 2-3 days, i.e. a
diet that contains an abundant supply of essential fats, they were able to
tolerate the sun very well. Yes, they emphasize how well they suddenly feel
in the sun, how the life forces are stimulated and that they feel
dynamically energized." (Budwig 1992)
In times of worry about
increased exposure to the sun's rays the EFA rich oils provided by Hemp may
offer us hope. In her writings about the sun's effect on the cell membrane's
electrons, Budwig referred to the work of the quantum physicist Dessauer,
writing :-
"If it were possible to
increase the concentration of solar electrons tenfold in this biological
electron rich molecule, man would live to be 10,000 years old."
Benefits of Cold Pressing
Oils should be pressed
with a minimum of heat because the higher the temperature of the oil the
faster it is destroyed by light, oxygen and other chemical reactions. The
shape and properties of Fatty-acid molecules can change lowering their
nutritional and biological value.
How
to use internal /external
With a pleasant nutty
flavour, Hemp Seed Oil is ideal for use in salad dressings, mayonnaise, dips
etc. Not suitable for frying as this reduces the benefits. May be taken as a
nutritional supplement for general health and well being.
Hemp
Seed Oil can also be
used externally on the skin as it is easily absorbed and moisturising,
suitable for poor condition skin.
From our batch tests,
it appears that rancidity increases at an exponential rate i.e. low PV value
at time of pressing takes longer to oxidise. We have found that our oil has
the ability to be stable for at least six months if stored in the
refrigerator. Oil is pressed fresh for each order and then dispatched to the
customer in dark brown glass bottles.
How
much is needed?
Recommended daily
intake for a person with an average build/ body fat profile is 2 - 4 dessert
spoons (10mg) (up to 50 ml) per day, or in the case of therapy this can be
increased up to 150ml per day for approximately 7 days then reverting to the
normal daily intake amount. The requirement of oil intake is now widely
accepted as being 15%-20% of calorific requirement (daily average of 2000
calories for an average adult). EFA oils contain embodied energy of 9
calories per ml, which is mainly used by the body for structural, hormonal
and electrical functions, rather than energy.
What
are the beneficial properties of Hemp Seed Oil?
Because Hemp Seed Oil
is such a rich source of both LA (Omega 6) and LNA (Omega 3) in balanced
proportions, conditions caused by deficiencies in both can be treated with
one oil.
The functions of LNA
include:
Production of smooth
skin increased stamina, speeds healing, increases vitality, brings a feeling
of calmness, reduces inflammation, water retention, platelet stickiness and
blood pressure, enhances immune functions, reduces the pain and swelling of
arthritis, can reverse pre-menstrual syndrome, can treat bacterial
infections, brain development in children.
The functions of LA
include:
Energy production,
growth vitality, mental state, oxygen transfer, formation of cell membrane,
recovery from fatigue, secretion production in exocrine and endocrine
glands, formation of prostaglandin's (to maintain cardiovascular system)
keeping body fluids liquid, helping immune system resist and fight
infection, prevention of allergies, functioning of heart tissue.
The functions of GLA
include:
Conversion of LA to the
beneficial prostaglandin's, cholesterol lowering actions, useful in treating
degenerative diseases. The Oleic Acid (Omega 9) contained in Hemp Seed
Oil helps keep arteries supple because of its fluidity. In excess Oleic acid
can interfere with EFA's and prostaglandin's.
The low level of
Stearic acid (18:0) in Hemp Seed Oil is beneficial as high levels of Stearic
acid are more likely to form flow-impeding clots in blood vessels and work
against the healing qualities of the EFA's.
Palmitic acid (16:0)
commonly found as a high percentage in animal fats and tropical oils, it
raises cholesterol levels.
Vitamins: are also
present notably C, E, B1, B2 and carotene in a fat soluble, easily
digestible form.
Minerals: mainly
Phosphorus, Calcium, Potassium and Magnesium.
Please note, oils that
have been exposed to high temperature and solvent extracted and refined
(most oils in the supermarkets) do not have the benefits left in them but
contain detrimental Trans-fatty acids from hydrogenation.
EFA's increases the
body's metabolic rate, therefore increasing fat burn-off, helping you to
become slim. Not to be seen as a singular solution, exercise and good eating
habits need to be taken into account.
