TESTIMONIAL:
Dear HempUSA.org
I wanted to write you guys and let you know how happy we are with your product. My wife, Kaytlin and I are in our mid 20's not suffering from any diseases, and were living pretty healthy before we heard about Hemp.
My wife is 8 months pregnant, and being such we both were putting on the pounds at a steady rate. For her that is good, but for me not so much. We are having a home-birth and have visited with our midwife numerous times over the past months. During these visits our midwife performs tests Kaytlin for nutritional data and other information.
She was amazed at our most recent visit, a few day's back, about Kaytlin's obvious nutritional improvements based on what she had seen the last time. She explained to us how pleased she was with the test and complimented Katylin for her diligent "good eating" habits. We then shared with her our secret about how we'd discovered Hempusa.org and their products and that Kaytlin had started taking Hemp powder just before our previous visit, which was about a month and a half apart.
She knew about the benefits of Hemp and encouraged her to keep using it daily. As far as myself, during that same period I shed 20 lbs without lifting a finger and haven't felt better in I don't know how long. Everyday I take two tablespoons for breakfast in my coffee, I take two at lunch in two glasses of water, and I eat some raw fruit/vegetable and maybe a piece of fish or any meat I might feel like eating at night.
It's amazing what we've saved on groceries and on little snacky foods, since that urge pretty much leaves you when you start taking hemp. If your out there wondering whether or not you should buy this product, trust me it is more than worth the money and you'll experience benefits almost immediately. Thanks again Tom and Crew. Keep up the good work and visit HempUSA.org !!!

Improve Your Mood, Improve Your Life and Your Weight
Did You Know...
... that an easily-corrected vitamin deficiency may be the cause of major depression and mood disorders?
Research conducted in the last several years at the University of York and Hull York Medical School shows a definite link between depression and low levels of folate -- a compound found organically in fruits, leafy vegetables, and other food sources.
The team from York published some of their findings in the July 2007 edition of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, stating that a review of 11 previous studies involving 15,315 participants showed a strong connection between low folate levels and depression.
Dr. Simon Gilbody (leader of the York team) spoke with a reporter from the University's magazine about his work, saying, "Although the research does not prove that low folate causes depression, we can now be sure that the two are linked ... there is also some trial evidence that suggests folic acid supplements can benefit people with depression."
Dr. Gilbody and his team also published the results of further research on the link between folic acid and depression in the American Journal of Epidemiology. The team was able to prove that individuals with depression commonly have a gene that causes them to improperly process folate. This gene helps explain why folic acid supplements can clear up even the most severe and prolonged forms of depression.
The Importance of B Vitamins
Folic acid is one of the B vitamins, which are well known to be crucial to emotional and mental well-being. Because B vitamins can't be stored in our bodies, you need a diet that supplies sufficient amounts. Unfortunately, even then, B vitamins are destroyed by commonly consumed substances, such as:

What is Folic Acid?
Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, and it affects a group of chemicals in the brain known as monoamines.
It's linked to the production of some of the "feel good" chemicals in the brain, and thought to play a role in the production neurotransmitters such as: s
When Antidepressants Don't Work
Folate deficiencies are especially frequent in patients who don't respond to conventional antidepressants. Some studies also indicate that folic acid may be a very helpful add-on to other prescription antidepressants.
In one study, folic acid was compared with a placebo pill as a combination with a Prozac treatment approach.
Patients who received folic acid improved more those who received the placebo. This improvement was especially marked in woman. Nearly 95% of female patients who received folic acid responded to the combo treatment, compared to 60% of woman given the placebo.
Another study conducted with elderly depressed patients found that another type of folate (5-methyltetrahydrofolate or 5-MTHF) was essentially just as effective as a mainstream antidepressant medication.
Where to Find Folic Acid
Folic acid is easily available in its natural form in number of foods, including:

|
In addition, many grain products have been enhanced with folic acid, especially breads and cereals.
And in addition to watching your diet, taking a folic acid supplement is a fantastic way to ensure you are providing your body with an adequate supply.
Some drugs -- notably various barbiturates, anticonvulsants, and birth control pills -- can interact with folic acid, so if you are taking any of these, make sure to consult your prescriber before adding a folic acid supplement to your daily regime.
Standard daily doses of folic acid vary, but typically fall between 250 -1,000 mcg (micrograms) per day. The recommended amount, unless a medical professional has advised otherwise, is 400 mcg per day. At this dose, most adults experience no side effects whatsoever.
Folic acid supplements typically come in tablet form, and can be found in most natural food and drug stores.

5 health reasons to not quit coffee
NOW THERE IS A DIET OR VITAMIN COFFEE AVAILABLE! click the link
I really like coffee. The morning ritual of brewing a cup, the smell that perks me up before I take a sip and, of course, the flavor all make it my favorite beverage aside from water (water’s delicious!). As a registered dietitian and a nutrition editor for EatingWell Magazine, I know that coffee is fine in moderation. It has lots of antioxidants and is low in calories if you don’t load it up with cream and sugar. Nonetheless, I always feel slightly guilty about drinking it—you know, in a “it’s so good, it must be bad” kind of way.
Don’t Miss: 5 “Bad” Foods You Should Be Eating
Which is why I’m always delighted to hear of new reasons that coffee is good for your health...and there are plenty! Over 18,000 studies on coffee have been published in the past few decades, revealing these benefits, many of which Joyce Hendley wrote about in the March/April issue of EatingWell Magazine:

Don’t Miss: How to Brew a “Greener” Cup of Coffee
1. It protects your heart: Moderate coffee drinkers (1 to 3 cups/day) have lower rates of stroke than noncoffee drinkers, an effect linked to coffee’s antioxidants. Coffee has more antioxidants per serving than blueberries, making it the biggest source of antioxidants in American diets. All those antioxidants may help suppress the damaging effect of inflammation on arteries. Immediately after drinking it, coffee raises your blood pressure and heart rate, but over the long term, it actually may lower blood pressure as coffee’s antioxidants activate nitric oxide, widening blood vessels.
2. It diverts diabetes: Those antioxidants (chlorogenic acid and quinides, specifically) play another role: boosting your cells’ sensitivity to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar. In fact, people who drink 4 or more cups of coffee each day may have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to some studies. Other studies have shown that caffeine can blunt the insulin-sensitivity boost, so if you do drink several cups a day, try mixing in decaf occasionally.
3. Your liver loves it: OK, so the research here is limited, but it looks like the more coffee people drink, the lower their incidence of cirrhosis and other liver diseases. One analysis of nine studies found that every 2-cup increase in daily coffee intake reduced liver cancer risk by 43 percent. Again, it’s those antioxidants—chlorogenic and caffeic acids—and caffeine that might prevent liver inflammation and inhibit cancer cells.
4. It boosts your brain power: Drinking between 1 and 5 cups a day (admittedly a big range) may help reduce risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Parkinson’s disease, studies suggest. Those antioxidants may ward off brain cell damage and help the neurotransmitters involved in cognitive function to work better.
5. It helps your headaches: And not just the withdrawal headaches caused by skipping your daily dose of caffeine! Studies show that 200 milligrams of caffeine—about the amount in 16 ounces of brewed coffee—provides relief from headaches, including migraines. Exactly how caffeine relieves headaches isn’t clear. But scientists do know that caffeine boosts the activity of brain cells, causing surrounding blood vessels to constrict. One theory is that this constriction helps to relieve the pressure that causes the pain, says Robert Shapiro, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of neurology and director of the Headache Clinic at the University of Vermont Medical School.
Now, that’s not to say that coffee doesn’t have any pitfalls—it does. Some people are super-sensitive to caffeine and get jittery or anxious after drinking coffee; habitual coffee drinkers usually develop a tolerance to caffeine that eliminates this problem (but they then need the caffeine to be alert and ward off withdrawal headaches). Coffee can also disturb sleep, especially as people age. Cutting some of the caffeine and drinking it earlier in the day can curb this effect. Lastly, unfiltered coffee (like that made with a French press) can raise LDL cholesterol, so use a filter for heart health.
But if you like coffee and you can tolerate it well, enjoy it...without the guilt.
