Q: What is history
of Hemp Hearts™
A:
Read this important article:
History of Hemp Hearts >>
Q: What exactly are
Hemp Hearts™ and how are they made?
A. Hemp Hearts™ are raw, natural, shelled hemp seed. This is the small
seed or nut of the hemp plant - please see the pictures on our web site:
http://www.healing-source.com/about_HempFoods.htm The hemp
plant is also called "cannabis Sativa" but as an industrial plant grown
for food, it has no THC, the active chemical that is in marijuana.
Industrial hemp is grown for both food and fibre. Our hemp is grown in
southern Alberta by farmers. It is cultivated like most grain crops with
a combine harvester that removes the seeds. The seed shell is then
removed mechanically and the soft nut inside is called a Hemp Heart™.
Q: What is the
recommended daily amount?
A: For optimal healing, health and well-being, we recommend 4 - 5
tablespoons per day (42 - 55 g), taken in the morning.
A 450 g / 1 lb.
container of Hemp Hearts™ will last you about 10 days at this amount.
Q: Do Hemp Hearts™
require refrigeration and what is their shelf life?
A: No. You do not need to refrigerate your Hemp Hearts™ - they have a
shelf life of up to 1 year, without refrigeration, even after the
container is opened. There is enough natural preservative, in the form
of Vitamin E, that keeps the Hemp Hearts™ from going rancid, naturally.
Q: Are Hemp Hearts™
gluten free?
A: Yes. Hemp Hearts™ are ideal for gluten-free dietary needs.
Q: Are Hemp Hearts™
high in cholesterol?
A: No. Hemp Hearts™ are cholesterol free and may actually reduce
cholesterol. The oil that is in Hemp Hearts™ is the beneficial kind of
essential fats - polyunsaturated Omega 3 and 6, in perfect balance for
human beings.
Q: Are Hemp Hearts™
easy to digest?
A: Yes. The protein in Hemp Hearts™ is one of the most easily digestible
proteins - more digestible than meat, eggs, cheese or milk products. In
addition, Hemp Hearts™ are excellent for improving digestion,
elimination and overall bowel health. One of the principal factors in
proper elimination is having adequate oil (as well as fibre and water)
to lubricate the intestinal tract, and promote regularity.
Q: Are Hemp Hearts™
safe for people with allergies?
A: Hemp Hearts™ are safe for people who are unable to tolerate nuts.
gluten, lactose or sugar - there are no known allergies to Hemp Foods.
Q: Are Hemp Hearts™
safe for animals?
A: Yes.
Those who replace larger amounts of inferior grain-based starchy foods
with smaller amounts of
Hemp Hearts™ will usually produce sleek, trim,
energetic, healthy animals. Significant consumption of Hemp Hearts™ is usually effective in reversing most health
conditions characterized by poor circulation or inflammation. Older
animals with diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and many disorders of
the digestive system usually respond well to diets containing
significant amounts of
Hemp Hearts™. Significant use of Hemp Hearts™ always results in superior hair and skin
condition with greatly decreased shedding. Hair appears vibrant; Eczema,
psoriasis and most other skin and hair conditions disappear.
Those who feed Hemp Hearts™ to older pets often notice that their pets
have more energy but less aches and pains.
Older pets usually act and appear as though they were much younger.
Racehorses and other animals used competitively often continue to
exhibit improvements in performance after months of significant use of Hemp Hearts™. Initial improvements may be due to the
increased energy available with Hemp Hearts™; Continued improvements are often the result
of increased circulation, reduced inflammation and more rapid recovery
after strenuous competition and injury.
Offspring of animals using Hemp Hearts™ achieve their potential more completely and
more rapidly. Pets that can not eat solid food can be fed Hemp Milk
which is made by blending one part Hemp Hearts™ with one or two parts water at high speed.
Gradually introduce
Hemp Hearts™ to your pets in foods to which they are
already accustomed. The portions of other pet foods can usually be
reduced by at least two parts for each weight of Hemp Hearts™ added. Increase to a daily total of about
four measuring tablespoons (32g. or 1.13 oz.) of Hemp Hearts™ for each 50 lbs (22.72 kg) of animal
weight—more for high performance animals.

Q: What Should Be
Eaten With Hemp Hearts?
A: Every cell in the human body
needs a good balance of protein, essential fats, vitamins, minerals and
enzymes—every morning. Those who feed their cells properly every morning
have good tissue health and no late onset health problems. Those who eat
at least 5 heaping tablespoons of Hemp Hearts with raw vegetables for
breakfast will always be amazed at the excellent health that results.
First: For healthy digestive systems--everyone should
avoid starches and processed foods as much as possible. The human
digestive system needs a lot of roughage—raw, long fiber foods with
coarse skins and membranes---so that natural contractions will move the
foods being processed quickly and efficiently through our twenty foot
long digestive systems. Cooked, ground, processed foods--especially
starches--become pastes which are plastered on the walls of our
digestive systems thus preventing the absorption of nutrients. The most
recent food pastes are then forced to make worm holes through the older
food pastes. Those who eat starches plug up occasionally, forcing their
colons to expand to make passages around these obstructions. Surgeons
often discover that obese starch-eaters have 50 pounds of 10 year old
waste obstructing colons that have expanded in places to become up to
ten inches in diameter. Colon hydro-therapists notice during treatments
that starch and processed food eaters shed great quantities of
solidified castings as they are dislodged with water from the walls of
their digestive systems. Do not eat cereals, breads, potatoes, pastas,
rice or ground foods. Those who eat Hemp Hearts in quantity with
roughage early every morning will go to the bathroom after every meal;
their stools will be yellow like those of a baby because they have not
been retained long; they will experience perfect digestive health. Those
who add starches to this diet will sometimes experience watery stools as
liquefied starches are swept through the system by faster moving Hemp
Hearts and roughage. If you are determined to eat cereal with your Hemp
Hearts for breakfast, at least be certain that it is as unprocessed as
possible and do not eat starch again that day or you may have watery
stools.
Second: For healthy tissues, weight control and youthful
energetic behavior--everyone should avoid starches and processed foods
as much as possible. Hunger is the mechanism by which the human body
demands protein—our most important nutrient, by far. Those who attempt
to satisfy hunger with low-protein starches will become hungry again
before they have burned off the calories present in the starches. They
will eventually become fat and diabetic or they will starve themselves
of essentials, gradually losing the tissue elasticity that allows veins
and arteries to expand and contract with each heartbeat--keeping
passages clean. They will also lose the tissue elasticity necessary for
healthy joint and organ function, thereafter suffering from inflammatory
conditions. Poor circulation and failing joints will make them act and
appear old and slow and will reduce mental capacity. Deteriorating blood
vessels result in stroke, aneurism, heart disease and premature health
failure. Starches and processed foods provide energy quickly, but soon
leave the individual weak and hungry and looking for coffee or snack
foods. Starch-eaters inevitably ride an energy roller coaster, but no
amount of sugar and starch can provide the even flow of long-lasting
energy necessary to resist stress and ensure success.
Third: Every cell in the human body needs to be supplied
every morning with sufficient protein, essential fats, vitamins,
minerals and enzymes for tissue health: The protein, essential fat and
enzyme requirements are easily satisfied by Hemp Hearts. The vitamin,
mineral and enzyme requirements are easily satisfied by Hemp Hearts in
conjunction with assorted vegetables. The long fiber food requirement is
only satisfied effectively by raw vegetables, perhaps with the
significant addition of raw fruit for those who are not diabetic. Those
who avoid starches while supplying themselves every morning with all of
the essential nutrients will have veins and arteries that expand and
contract with each heartbeat keeping passages clean--resulting in low
blood pressure, excellent circulation, improved body function and
optimum mental capacity. They will not suffer from inflammatory
conditions and will look much younger than their age. They will have
abundant long lasting energy for good mental health and success .
Fourth: Those who eat at least 5, perhaps 8, Heaping
tablespoons of Hemp Hearts early each morning with salads made with
spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, celery, ripe avocado,
beans in the pod, alfalfa sprouts and bean sprouts—further flavored with
cayenne pepper, garlic, lemon, lime and perhaps some yogurt—always
experience profound health and energy benefits. More adventurous salad
makers sometimes incorporate cabbage lettuce, kale, chives, water cress,
endive, black radish, red beet, dandelion, sorrel, radish sprouts,
soaked beans and chia sprouts.
Those who wish to reverse serious disease should avoid
anything not on the list above and should drink only water and liquids
made from juices of the above.
Those who are in perfect health can add sufficient fruit
and protein foods and tea and alcohol to increase their enjoyment of the
vegetables above—but should nevertheless avoid starches or they will
have watery stools when the starches and processed foods are swept along
by digested Hemp Hearts and long fiber foods.
Those who wish to lose weight should consume their large
salad as early as possible in the morning, and eat only a few vegetables
without dressing in the early evening--if they are really hungry. On
days when they do not wish to lose weight, those who are perfectly
healthy may eat meats and fish and fruit and occasionally deserts with
their evening vegetables--but never starches.

Product: Hemp Oil
Q: Does Hemp Oil
require refrigeration?
A: No. Our pure, Clear Hemp Oil does not need to refrigerated. It has a
shelf life of over 1 year. When the bottles are filled they are nitrogen
blanketed to displace any oxygen or water vapour.
Q: Can I cook with
Hemp Oil?
A: Yes. You can eat Clear Hemp Oil raw or cook with it. Use it as you
would any other salad or cooking oil. It is one of the few cooking oils

Clear Hemp Oil unless temperatures are well above 250 degrees C (482 F)
for much more than one-half hour or well above 200 degrees C (392 F) for
longer than 16 hours. Pure Clear Hemp Oil is very stable contrary to
public opinion. A lot of people compare it to Flax Oil which is very
unstable.
Product: Hemp Bars
Q: Do Hemp Bars require refrigeration?
A: No. Storing your Hemp Bars in a cool, dark place is
recommended - direct sunlight and high temperatures might melt the

vegan?
A: Yes. The chocolate in the Hemp Bars has no dairy - it
is bittersweet (dark) chocolate.

diet. Give your doctor the link to this web site or a copy of the flyer
which is sent with your Hemp Foods.
*
THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol ) is the
psychoactive ingredient found in hashish and marijuana. While THC is
present in all Cannabis plant varieties to some extent, industrial hemp
does not contain an amount to produce any intoxicating effect, even in
significant quantities. In varieties grown for use as a drug THC levels
can reach as high as 24%.
In hemp varieties grown for seed or fibre use, the plants are grown very
closely together and a very dense biomass product is obtained, rich in
oil from the seeds and fibre from the stalks and low in THC content. EU
and Canadian regulations limit THC content to 0.3% in industrial hemp.
Hemp: Organic
vs. Identity Preserved
Hemp Hearts are packaged without additives or preservatives,
grown without herbicides or pesticides from non-GMO hemp seed.
Q: Are Hemp Foods
certified organic?
A: Our product is grown and processed in Southern Alberta, Canada and is
"identity preserved" in lots equivalent to certified organic. Every lot
can be traced to its source and is laboratory tested to guarantee the
absence of contaminants. Our partner and processor has over 30 years of
experience in the food processing business, and designed and constructed
the only large facility in the world that is dedicated to the production
of shelled hemp seed.
Q: Do you use
herbicides or pesticides in growing Hemp?
A: No. There are no pesticides or insecticides used in cultivating our
hemp plants. The crop is hardy, dense and tall, and naturally not
subject to significant pest impact. No chemicals are necessary in the
production or processing of our product.
Q: Are there any
chemicals used in making Hemp Foods?
A: No. Our shelled hemp seed has not been treated in any way and is free
from any chemical preservatives.
Q: Are Hemp Foods
irradiated?
A: No. Our Hemp Foods are not irradiated, pasteurized or altered in any
way from the natural state which might compromise their food value.
Q: How are Hemp Foods
preserved?
A: There is enough natural preservative, in the form of Vitamin E, that
keeps the Hemp Hearts™ from going rancid, naturally.
Q: Is the cultivation
of Hemp sustainable?
A: Yes. Every part of the hemp plant can be used. The fibre is superior
to tree fibre for paper, and superior to cotton for fabric. The fibre
can also be used as a building material. Any remaining leaves or unused
stalks are fed to animals or used in composting.

until there are more progressive laws that permit the human consumption
of hemp grown in Australia.
