Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Twice on GIM I saw reports on health benefits from hemp oil, so I decided to try it.

I'm on day 3 of mixing a teaspoon in yogurt and eating it. Note: no heating of the organic, cold pressed seed oil.

I have been having some arthritis and from day 1 my symptoms of mild stiffness and moderate pain dropped like a rock. I was frankly astounded.

Today my wife decided to try it. (She is generally not health food oriented, but noticed my higher energy and she said I was noticably moving better, which I had thought I had not lost movement noticably. oh well.)

She had rheumatic fever as a child and has had joint pain since age 3. Her first teaspoon she reports alleviated hand stiffness and pain and knee and shoulder pain and increased range of movement in her shoulders. I can add she is notably more energetic and cheerful.

If you are interested in trying health food regimins, this one is easy and not very expensive.

I ordered from here

http://www.mynaturalmarket.com/advan...780eaa&x=0&y=0

and got prompt service on a phone order though I had to leave a message and get a call back. Tip - until I hit the # as requested after my message I got no call back, so that might matter.

I have not tried this source, but it has good prices for 3lb bags of the leafy protein product

http://www.mynaturalmarket.com/advan...780eaa&x=0&y=0

I took the protein powder day 1 and 2 and got stronger results, but decided to see how my gut liked the 20% fiber content before using more. Oil alone I would assess at 75% of the benefit. I used 1 tablespoon of the powder.

It tastes less like mowing your yard with your teeth than wheatgrass, but is still a strong flavor. Because dairy is not good for my wife she made 'green toast', using the oil on toasted but cooled diabetic ok toast with diabetic ok preserves over the top to hide the flavor.

I figure health is the ultimate survival prep.

One of the uses I saw a vid about here on GIM was direct application of the oil as a treatment for skin cancer. Living in a sunny area all our lives we will be candidates in time for that. I can give no report on that use personally, but it intrigued me.

Here's a pdf with some good info....

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Well I ordered some also to see if it will relieve some of my aches and pains - I will let you know..

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

So how did it work for you? Did you notice health changes? With natural products I generally expect a range of responses as we are not paint by number kits and likely have a variety of nutritional strengths and weaknesses.

edit - posted while you did G. See your results later. Good pdf there.. it does mention the help with arthritis, but I was amazed how much it has helped so far. Maybe it will not stay at this high level, but so far it rocks.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

I eat the Nutiva hemp seeds mixed in vanilla yogurt a few days a week for breakfast, good stuff!

I also use a hemp seed oil soap that is just fantastic ( Dr. Bronners ). In fact I placed an order for a gallon on Friday from Vitacost.com, my first order from them, I hope all goes well as their prices are really good.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

I'm posting to keep track. Curious to know how the benefits turn out.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

if you thnk hempseed oil is good at relieving arthritis pain you should try some real ganja oil.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

AM, thanks for this thread.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

hemp oil internally has numerous healthy benefits. if you want topical relief, I have been making this simple remedy for years and it works AMAZING:

16oz EMU Oil
1/8oz Cannabis Flowers

Heat emu oil in a double broiler, and let dried, ground cannabis flowers saturate in with the emu oil for an hour. After heating thoroughly, strain through cheesecloth to remove plant material. Let cool, bottle for storage.

This topical anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial miracle will not only relieve your arthritis pain immediately on contact it will also heal cuts, scrapes and burns faster and reduce/eliminate scarring.

The emu oil is one of the most penetrative oils with natural anti-inflammatory qualities. Coupled with the anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities of THC it is the ultimate combination.

I rub some on my hands when I wake up and within a minute my stiff fingers are limber and ready for the keyboard olympics.

It does not offer any psychoactive benefits.. but for this specific application (any time of the day relief) this is a positive, IMO. Try it on your sore muscles, achy joints, itchy scratches and throbbing burns! Better than anything else I have ever used.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Thanks for sharing that.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

I have been using 'arnicated oil' for years with the same results on the arthritis side of things for years. Never tried it for anything else. Arnicated oil is made from 'arnica' flowers.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

interesting, I'll have to try that. maybe add some arnica extract in with the emu/thc mix!

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Preferring to stay out of legal trouble even of laws I want changed, I will likely try the arnica version. Thanks! And all the more reason to be glad when decriminalization comes.

Update. It is still working, but not as dramatically. It reminds me of once in my college days, having eaten dorm cafeteria food for several years, taking a B vitamin. I was so deficient the vitamin's action was explosive. Later, I felt better with than without, but it wasn't jaw dropping. I seem to hurt a little less each day, but it isn't as dramatic. My mood, energy, and I think my metabolism are now responding. I'm very much less hungry. I want food less often and less of it, but have more energy. These changes are more subtle, but long term probably very good.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Glad to hear it's rocking your socks off,
Good luck and may God bless ya

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

thank you!

ordered this

• 1 of Nutiva Organic Hemp Oil -- 24 fl oz
• 2 of Nutiva Organic Shelled Hempseed -- 8 oz
• 1 of Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein + Fiber -- 16 oz

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

I got my oil today and I took some about 1 hour ago and It does seem to help with my joint pain. It seemed that about 10 minutes after taking it I felt some of the aches and stiffness go. I will let you know in a few days if it is really helping or not - so far it seems to help?

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

I bought a bottle of Living Green hemp seed oil from the health food store. I take a tablespoon of hemp seed oil and a tablespoon of flax seed oil everyday. Straight from the spoon, like cough syrup.

Both oils have very neutral and subtle tastes. I like em both.

These oils will help with your good cholesterol (HDL) levels. I find that these oils, along with ginger (in a juice or pickled sushi style), acts as a natural viagra. Think morning wood that could put out someone's eye.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

if i know hemp *ahem* i would think the short term affects cure all that ails but the long term ones don't do much for ya =P. Don't get me wrong any pain killer that works is worth it's its weight gold.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

These reports coming in....are AWESOME!

Most people don't realize just how much the body needs a fat. One teaspoon from the proper source is worth 10000x bags of dorritos...not that I imagine you people eat that stuff.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

This is a interesing thread.

Is there any THC that gets to a person useing the Oil?

I would try it but am concerned about THC.

E-A

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

ZERO % THC

would not be allowed into the US from CA if it did.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Agreed; there is no THC whatsoever.

This is the oil that is pressed from hemp seeds

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Here is a link and info from the Nutiva website:

http://nutiva.com/faq/faq_hemp.php

Q. If I recently consumed hemp foods, could I fail a drug test?

A. If the only source of the psychoactive THC in your body is from hemp foods, produced from Canadian grown hemp seeds and eaten in reasonable quantities, it is virtually impossible to fail a drug test by ingesting hemp foods due to the fact that THC levels in our products are barely measurable.

The TestPledge program is a voluntary commitment by the North American hemp food industry to limit THC concentrations to levels where they cannot result in positive drug tests. Nutiva joined the TestPledge program in 2001. Nutiva's hemp food products meet Canadian government and TestPledge standards for hemp foods.

We recommend that you read the TestPledge Answers page first. If you need more technical information please download and read the study summary "Evaluating Interference of THC in Hemp Food Products With Employee Drug Testing," which was prepared by Gero Leson, D.Env. and Petra Pless.

Here is a recent e-mail we received about Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein powder and drug testing from a Department of Defense employee:

I work for the Department of Defense and was finally selected for random urinalysis after 18 years. I wasn't the least bit worried - until that night when I went home to fix a fruit shake in which I use your hemp protein powder. As I took it out of the refrigerator, it suddenly occurred to me that it has a very small amount of THC in it. Having been a drug/alcohol abuse officer in the Air Force years ago, I understood the potential implications, including the fact that THC is detectable far longer than many drugs of abuse. I called Nutiva the next day, and was told that because you can't ever know what other behaviors a customer may be engaging in, you cannot say for certain that your products could not cause a positive urinalysis for THC. However, I was assured that it was HIGHLY unlikely by itself - especially the protein powder because of the way it's processed (i.e. lower oil content than some other products). I promised to provide you with feedback either way my test turned out. My understanding is that the Department of Defense uses state-of-the-art testing. I passed, despite using your hemp protein powder multiple times every week for months. I know it's no guarantee, but it may relieve others who are not using illegal substances but who may be using your products, and become concerned about drug testing. Thanks.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Please forgive me for being dense regarding this...

IF not THC, what is the healing, nutritive ingredient in hemp that causes this miracle in healing.

Is the resin the medicine?

I defer to Rick Simpson (Run from the Cure), and his recent research, before that was curtailed by the Cannuck Corp/Guv.

Please help me with this...

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Hemp oil is high in Omega 3 EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids). I am sure there are other compounds present as well. Check out this essay on Omega 3 from U. of Maryland Medical Center. Joint health is among the things your body needs Omega 3 for.

As far as I am aware there is 0% THC in hemp seeds, but I am sure minute quantities can make it in through contact. The outside of the seeds would have small a small amount of flower resin on them. You have to remember though that even the flowers themselves of Cannabis strains grown for industrial use have contain very little THC.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

There are several links with hemp info here but I don't know if they include the info you seek:

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

The research I have read points to the omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, like in olive oil, but in particular linolenic acid, which hemp oil beats the other 'good' oils in by miles. I read the body cannot make it but must get it from food. Researchers suspect they have not found out the whole story yet. But they have verified some of the positive results.

And no, it isn't THC. Bird seed has a lot of hemp seed and our hens used to select those seeds out to eat first when mixed seeds were offered to them.

The energy boost is what I am noticing most now. We gave it to our cat and dog and they like it as well. The dog is old and got a big energy boost plus is clearly more flexible.

It is still working as to reducing arthritis symptoms for my wife and me too.

My order from vitacost came in, so I feel positive about their service as well as low price now.

The pdf in simpleworld's post 4 in this thread is very detailed and informative on research, what all is in it, and such.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

What amazed me was how fast it worked. 10 minutes or so here too. Then it seemed to plateau, but now it is doing another level, kind of. Food cures are, in general, more subtle and more cumulative than pills. But I think better long term in many uses.

:111: This public health message will do more to decrease heart disease than ANY words about joint pain. :shine:

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

here are some nutiva products http://www.iherb.com/ProductsList.aspx?cid=752
more expensive than vitacost.co m
but you can use $5 off coupon :KAS247 ( for new customers only :confused_m: )

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Update

My wife, our dog and I have been using the oil for a couple of months now.

The pain decrease in arthritic areas continues but is not increasing fast. Still, the relief is major.

Regularity is notable.

Unexpectedly our dog's fur turned much richer and darker in color. She also had a thin hair 'hot spot' that is filling in.

Much more surprisingly I was beginning to thin in one spot of my head hair and it has a lot of short new hair growth. I thought I was feeling peach fuzz there among the remaining hair, then the wife said it was growing in, in a surprised voice, so I have outside confirmation of something I read zero claims this oil did. I'm not sure it would do that for all types of thinning hair and was shocked it is doing it with mine.

The energy increase, mood improvement that mostly feels like calm contentment, and mental acuity improvement continue.

My creativity has taken a real leap and I am around here a lot less because I am writing a good bit of each day plus an ongoing music job that is going very well.

I still love GIM, it is just harder to make time for it.

There must be some, or several, nutrients the modern diet is catastrophically short of in it for it to have such diverse effects.

Unless you live way north don't order till cool weather returns. It is cold pressed and kept in the fridge for a reason. Sitting in a 120 degree truck would likely ruin at least some of its goodness in mere moments.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

try tart cherry juice for gout works really well.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Thanks for the update AmforPm!

Anyone else have any field test reports?

I'm still on the fence, I haven't tried it yet.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Here's the thing...the plant it comes from itself has No THC whatsoever...I found an excellant picture of a hemp field. Look how rich and black that soil is.

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...g?t=1242936590

But there are about 40 or 50 secondary chemicals in the plant called cannabinoids. They don't register on a drug test and they won't get you high without THC, but they do have health benefits. For example, certain strains (which emphasize a certain cannabinoid over another) improve eyesight while others improve mood or regulate bodily functions.

I regularly rub oil into my skin after mixing it with a few drops of essential oils. My skin drinks it up in less than 10 minutes - it literally thirsts for it.

Re: Hemp Oil Early Results Report
 

Great thread, I LOVE hemp and all its products.

Unshelled hemp seeds are currently a staple of my diet. They provide a lot of protein and nutrients. Hemp seeds are fairly inexpensive here as well, at about $6 CDN for 10 cups or so (only way I could measure it out in my mind). I live on the central Canadian prairies, which happens to be epicenter of agricultural hemp cultivation in Canada (and maybe for North America too, not sure).

If you can find some hemp milk is absolutely delicious (and nutritious) as well!

Hemp can save the world!
