This was sent to me by my business partner. It's really interesting and informative especially when I like hemp seeds so much. Great on salads!
Seeds of the plant cannabis sativa, hemp seed, contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. No other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs.
The importance of hemp seed nutrients to human health cannot be fully appreciated without some understanding of bio-chemistry in life. Unfortunately, any attempt to understand the flow of life leads into the realm of the most troublesome of the three infinities -- the infinitely complex.
Some deep thinkers believe life is a paradox not to be understood but experienced to the fullest. However, the Sages have said, "Know thyself." At any rate it is paradoxic to attempt simplifying the infinite complexity of flowing life. Yet, it is far better for the health and development of any thinking and feeling, uniquely individual human being, to pursue knowledge than to lounge in ignorance.
One out of two Americans win die from the effects of cardiovascular disease (CVD). One out of four Americans will die from cancer. Researchers believe cancers erupt when immune system response is weakened. Pioneers in the fields of biochemistry and human nutrition now believe CVD and most cancers are really diseases of fatty degeneration caused by the continued over-consumption of saturated fats and refined vegetable oils that turn essential fatty acids into carcinogenic killers. And if this is not scary enough, more Americans are succumbing to immune deficiency diseases than ever before. Sadly it is ignorance of human nutritional needs that will cause this overwhelming majority of Americans to die slowly from these afflictions -- the greatest killers in affluent nations.
There are eight amino acids the human body cannot make and two more the body cannot make in sufficient quantity, so they are essential to life. A diet without any one of them will eventually cause disease and death. These essential amino acids, along with eleven others the body can make from them, are chained together in accordance to genetic guidelines, via RNA formats from DNA blueprints, into structural proteins that give body to life, and into enzymes (globular proteins) that carry out the mechanics of living.
Nearly three quarters of body solids are proteins. The body is literally constructed and maintained by an infinitely complex system that simply builds proteins from amino acid sub units. Every amino acid consists of an amine and a carboxyl bound to the same carbon atom. All but the smallest amino acid have one, more or less complex, carbon containing side chain connected to the carbon atom shared by the amine and carboxyl groups. The amine group, ND, is slightly basic; the carboxyl group, COOH, is a mild acid. The amine group of one amino acid unites with the carboxyl group of another forming a peptide link. Proteins are made of amino acid peptide chains in specific sequences. The number of possible amino acid peptide combinations is infinite.
Peptide chains can bend, twist and unite with other peptide chains by forming weak hydrogen bonds between nitrogen and oxygen atoms along the chain. Amino acids can also form bonds through side chain linkages. All three types of amino acid bonding methods contribute to the infinite possibility of protein shapes and reactivity potentials. Though each species builds proteins unique to itself, life can tailor new ones if challenged by the pressures of existence.
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.
Globulins are one of seven classes of simple proteins. Simple proteins are constructed from amino acids and contain no non-protein substances. Globulins are in seeds and animal blood. Edistins are found in seeds; serum globulin is in blood. Edistins are plant globulins. And globulins along with albumins are classified as globular proteins. All enzymes, antibodies, many hormones, hemoglobin and fibrogin (the body converts fibrogin into non-soluble, fibrin, a blood clotting agent) are globular proteins. They carry out the main work of living.
Albumin, globulin and fibrogin are the three major types of plasma proteins. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood that supplies nutrients to tissues. And the three protein types: serum albumin, serum globulin and fibrogin, compose about 80% of plasma solids. These plasma proteins serve as a reservoir of rapidly available amino acids should any body tissues be in need.
Plant seeds contain albumin and globulin but no fibrogin. Albumin is the nutritive material that fills the space in the seed between the embryo and the seed coat. The embryo needs albumin to fuel its initial growth until photosynthesis begins. Globulin edistins within the embryo guarantee this new life has the enzymes necessary for metabolic activity.
Globulin is the third most abundant protein in the human body. Globulins perform many enzymatic (causing reactions to take place) functions within the plasma itself. More importantly, they are responsible for both the natural and acquired immunity a person has against invading organisms. The body uses globulin proteins to make antibodies which attack infecting agents (antigens) that invade the body. Globulins like gamma globulin are absolutely essential to maintain a healthy immune system. They neutralize alien microorganisms and toxins.
Globulins are divided into three classes: alpha, beta and gamma globulins. Alpha and beta globulins operate as transport vehicles by combining with other substances and carry protein from one part of the body to another. They haul the materials needed to build new and replace worn or damaged bodily structures. Gamma globulins are divided into five classes of antibodies called immunoglobulins. All are formed to combat specific cell invading antigens. They comprise the body's first line of defense against disease and infection. Immunoglobulins are produced by B lymphocyte (white blood cells) plasma cell clones located in lymph system nodes. Infecting antigens normally must pass through the lymph system before entering the blood stream.
Regarding human protein requirement: "Qualitively, it is considered desirable to secure amino acids similar to those of human tissues, both as to kinds and relative quantities of the various kinds." [Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology, Kimber, Gray, Stackpole, 1943]
During digestion proteins in food are broken down into amino acids. The amino acids are then taken into the body and reassembled into human proteins according to need and the availability of the amino acids necessary to make specific proteins.
The body needs the necessary kinds of amino acids in sufficient quantity in order to make proteins such as the globulins. Proper quantities of the right kinds may not be available to the body much of the time. So even though the body has enough essential amino acids available to prevent deficiency diseases, it may not have enough to build quantities of immunoglobulins necessary for the immune system to repel infection.
The best way to insure the body has enough amino acid material to make the globulins is to eat foods high in globulin proteins. Since hemp seed protein is 65% globulin edistin, and also includes quantities of albumin, its protein is readily available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma. Eating hemp seeds gives the body all the essential amino acids required to maintain health, and provides the necessary kinds and amounts of amino acids the body needs to make human serum albumin and serum globulins like the immune enhancing gamma globulins. Eating hemp seeds could aid, if not heal, people suffering from immune deficiency diseases. This conclusion is supported by the fact that hemp seed was used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition blocking disease that causes the body to waste away. [Czechoslovakia Tubercular Nutritional Study, 1955]
ANTIBODIES
Antibodies are globulin proteins programmed to destroy antigens (any substance eliciting a response from lymphocytes: bacteria, viruses, toxins, living and dead tissue, internal debris, etc.). Circulating in blood plasma like mines floating in a harbor antibodies await contact with the enemy, then initiate a cascade of corrosive enzymes that bore holes in the antigen surface causing it to break apart.
Antibodies are custom designed to neutralize or disintegrate one specific type of antigen. White blood cells called B cell lymphocytes seek out and lock-on to antigenic proteins or sugars on the invader's surface. The B cell then uses that lock and key pattern to make antibodies tailored to that antigen only. It also will make clones of itself called plasma cells. Most of the clones begin producing antibodies for that antigen. Others become memory cells which may spend years wandering through the blood stream looking for that specific antigen. If the body is exposed to it again the memory cells lock-on to one and begin producing plasma cell clones and a flood of antibodies that wipe out the invader. One lymphocyte can divide into hundreds of plasma cells in a few days. A mature plasma cell can make about 2000 antibodies every second for the few days it lives. This is how the body acquires immunity.
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.

We all would like a second income and we all would like to get the foods we need at a discount.
In my line of work I am constantly approached by companies selling something or MLMs trying to get me to sign up as a distributor. I have to push these people away sometimes and it get really annoying when I have to tell them NO a hundred times. I am in the raw food business, I teach it , I preach it, I live it and I can't sell your crap products.
I would love for a company to put together a network marketing format with real quality stuff. A company with integrity, care, sustainable, organic, raw and conscious.
If there where such a thing I could simply help people with their health as I do now, suggest some superfoods like Goji, Maca, Blue Green Algae, Cacao and others and not have to try and "Sell" anything to anyone. If you want to improve your health or even save your life then this is what you need. I do it, David Wolf does it, Gabriel Cousins does it, and countless thousands of others are doing it and it works. Raw Organic Superfoods work. So why can't some one offer a home business business opportunity for me to make money doing what I am already doing with the best of the best products out there? And if it was packaged in glass instead of plastic, and used sustainable processes in production and contributed funds to the development of a sustainable conscious future I would be all over it.
Wouldn't you love to have your own business distributing products that can help your family's health, your friends, add to your business, add to your income and contribute to a better, greener future?
ME TOO
So one day this guy calls me up and say " I would love to talk to you about this business opportunity I think you may be interested in". Hmmmmmmm I said. "Really"
OK I am ready to hang up but I thought, what could this be about now? So I asked what was it about. "Superfoods" he said. Oh? The only superfoods I know about are organic, sustainable, raw and one of the fastest growing markets in the US. So I said "When can we meet"
Two days later I was a distributor.
Once I found out about who was involved, the heart and true caring spirit of the company and the people behind it, I was like "where do I sign up" Sense then it has been just an awesome time with superfood parties, visits from David Wolf and the founder of the company Chad Vandenburg, I've added superfoods to the menu at Quintessence and just being pumped with excitement and joy that this is available to the world NOW! How awesome is that?
This is a company with a huge resource of support, education and heart. This is what we need to be promoting in every aspect of our life and fits so well with what many of us are already doing. I can't even begin to tell you how much the world need this consciousness and education. These products educate people about health and give the power of health back in control of the people not the industrial pharmaceutical complex.
Do you want in, Can you not want in?
I want to help you get your superfoods at cost and help you create a second income stream (residual income stream) with a company that is literally saving the planet.
Join me, David, Chad, Kevin Gianni, Gabriel Cousins and the whole superhero team and help save lives and save the planet.
Contact me to become a superhero too and join the party.
I can help you get started Today! chefdan@rawchefdan.com

I just had this discussion last week with one if my employees. She witched Arron Russo's Freedom To Fascism and couldn't believe that the Federal Reserve Bank is not a Government Agency. Organic Consumers Association posted this this month.
"Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions.
They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United
States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers;
foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory
money lenders." -
The Honorable Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee in the 1930s

had a great idea the other day! Lets start our own conspiracy!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of everyone giving donations to Green and Ecco groups to fight
Monsanto and pay for political counter action, give all that money to
one organization that pays farmers to NOT buy Monsanto seeds. We
instead pay them to grow what we want them to grow. If we gave each
farmer $100,000 a year simply as an incentive, they could still grow
whatever it is they are growing, do business, sell there produce and
make what they would make as an Organic former. The 100 Gs would be a
payoff to pull them out of the system and away from corporate and
government intervention. With the added subsidized income the price of
Organic could also be dropped so more people could afford it and choose
organic over conventional. Instead of fighting these huge companies
with hug money, we simply took their customers away from them. What
would happen if no one bought from them any more, they simply had no
customers? How much power do they have in a world that has no need for
them? What if we carried that concept across the board. It is too
difficult, too expensive and too futile to battle the big money and
power of government and corporate giants. Isn't it easier to just do
business without them?
If 200,000 people paid $500 a year, thats $41.66 a month, then that
could pay 1000 farmers across the US $100.000.00per yr. to do business
as an Organic produce producer.
OK so we start with 100 farmers, then 1000, then 10,000…
Each farmer could agree to be part of the program they would pay back
into the program 5 or 10% of income generated from the sales of their
produce. They still get the 1000Gs a year as members. The whole thing
could work like a nationwide co-op. Members pay a yearly fee, like say
$500 and then get a discount on any item you purchase that is
subsidized by the program. Oh do I hear a name in there? NSSOC the
National Subsidized Sustainable Organics Co-Op. Celeb Events,
concerts, Rallies est. could raise money and public awareness to build
the program. Feeding more money into the program to recruit more
members both farmers and public supporters. How about if it even has
its own Organic certification standards. Why not bypass the whole US
Certified Organic BS. That way we could exclude the Wal-Mart’s and the
likes from the program. I can see it now; produce on the shelves’ with
NSSOC stickers on them. F~*k the system we just create our own produce.
What do you think?
