Did you know that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Church that promotes a healthy lifestyle? There are literally tens of thousands of Vegetarians and Vegans who are Seventh-day Adventist Christians. Look for a Christian Church that has some things in common with your Health needs.

Seventh-day Adventist Christians preach the everlasting Gospel and keep the Biblical Sabbath(Saturday) day Holy. Sabbath School begin at 9:30am. Worship begin at 11:00am every Saturday.

God’s true Church believes that Jesus is God.

God’s true Church believes in the Trinity.

God’s true Church believes in the death of Christ on the Cross.

God’s true Church will uphold the Moral Law(Ten Commandments)

God’s true Church will Baptize by Immersion not Sprinkling.

God’s true Church will not eat Unclean Foods(Pork, Catfish, etc.)

God’s true Church will be a Worldwide Church preaching the message of Christ.

God’s true Church will teach Biblical literal six day Creation. NO Evolution.

God’s true Church will have the gift of Prophecy.

God’s true Church will preach Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

God’s true Church will stand against Sexual Immorality. Homosexuality, Adultery and Fornication are Sins.

God’s true Church will preach against Strong drink. Alcohol is not allowed. (Proverbs 20:1).

Remember God’s true last day Church will not be a popular Church. Most people will attack God’s Biblical Church with vigilance. Satan himself will attack God’s Church(Revelation 14:12) Truth crushed to the ground will always rise to the top.

Fuel:

* Farming 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops would provide all of America’s energy needs. 1
* Hemp is Earth’s number-one biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in four months. 1
* Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol, or gasoline at a cost comparable to petroleum, and hemp is much better for the environment. Pyrolysis (charcoalizing), or biochemical composting are two methods of turning hemp into fuel.2
* Hemp can produce 10 times more methanol than corn.
* Hemp fuel burns clean. Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulfur pollution.
* The use of hemp fuel does not contribute to global warming.

Food:

* Hemp seed can be pressed into a nutritious oil, which contains the highest amount of fatty acids in the plant kingdom. Essential oils are responsible for our immune system responses, and clear the arteries of cholesterol and plaque.2
* The byproduct of pressing the oil from hemp seed is high quality protein seed cake. It can be sprouted (malted) or ground and baked into cakes, breads, and casseroles. Hemp seed protein is one of mankind’s finest, most complete and available-to-the-body vegetable proteins. 2
* Hemp seed was the world’s number one wild and domestic bird seed until the 1937 Marijuana prohibition law. Four million pounds of hemp seed for songbirds were sold at retail in the U.S. in 1937. Birds will pick hemp seeds out and eat them first from a pile of mixed seed. Birds in the wild live longer and breed more with hemp seed in their diet, using the oil for the feathers and their overall health. 2

Fiber:

* Hemp is the oldest cultivated fiber plant in the world.
* Low-THC fiber hemp varieties developed by the French and others have been available for over 20 years. It is impossible to get high from fiber hemp. Over 600,000 acres of hemp is grown worldwide with no drug misuse problem.
* One acre of hemp can produce as much usable fiber as 4 acres of trees or two acres of cotton.
* Trees cut down to make paper take 50 to 500 years to grow, while hemp can be cultivated in as little as 100 days and can yield 4 times more paper over a 20 year period.
* Until 1883, from 75-90% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber including that for books, Bibles, maps, paper money, stocks and bonds, newspapers, etc. 2
* Hemp paper is longer lasting than wood pulp, stronger, acid-free, and chlorine free. (Chlorine is estimated to cause up to 10% of all Cancers.) 2
* Hemp paper can be recycled 7 times, wood pulp 4 times.
* If the hemp pulp paper process reported by the USDA in 1916, were legal today it would soon replace 70% of all wood paper products. 2
* Rag paper containing hemp fiber is the highest quality and longest lasting paper ever made. It can be torn when wet, but returns to its full strength when dry. Barring extreme conditions, rag paper remains stable for centuries. 2
* Hemp particle board may be up to 2 times stronger than wood particleboard and holds nails better.
* Hemp is softer, warmer, more water absorbent, has three times the tensile strength, and is many times more durable than cotton. Hemp production uses less chemicals than cotton. 2
* From 70-90% of all rope, twine, and cordage was made from hemp until 1937. 2
* A strong lustrous fiber; hemp withstands heat, mildew, insects, and is not damaged by light. Oil paintings on hemp and/or flax canvas have stayed in fine condition for centuries. 2

Medicine:

* Deaths from marijuana use: 0
* From 1842 through the 1880s, extremely strong marijuana (then known as cannabis extractums), hashish extracts, tinctures, and elixirs were routinely the second and third most-used medicines in America for humans (from birth through old age). These extracts were also used in veterinary medicine until the 1920s and longer. 2
* For at least 3,000 years prior to 1842 widely varying marijuana extracts (bud, leaves, roots, etc.) were the most commonly used real medicines in the world for the majority of mankind’s illnesses. 2
* The U.S. Pharmacopoeia indicated cannabis should be used for treating such ailments as fatigue, fits of coughing, rheumatism, asthma, delirium tremens, migraine headaches, and the cramps and depressions associated with menstruation. 3
* In this century, cannabis research has demonstrated therapeutic value and complete safety in the treatment of many health problems including asthma, glaucoma, nausea, tumors, epilepsy, infection, stress, migraines, anorexia, depression, rheumatism, arthritis, and possibly herpes. 3
* Deaths from aspirin (U.S. per year): 180 – 1,000 +
* Deaths from legal drugs (U.S. per year) at doses used for prevention, diagnosis, or therapy:

No, it is not…

You forgot the leaves…. which people SMOKE…

Thanks!

You could try Holland & Barrett, but I wouldn’t recommend it, as they’re overpriced and often don’t have what you’re looking for.

A good place to go for food is Goodness Direct. They have lots of tempeh products on there.

Best place for seeds I think is Julian Graves. You can buy all sorts form there.

Another good place to looks for seeds though, and often get very good prices is eBay.

I have friends in the Hereford/Gloucester/Worcester/Ross area and they have some very nice independent health food shops near them. It might be worth checking local directories online and seeing if you can find something. It’ll be better tan giving your money to a money-hungry H&B or something.

Any Suggestions?

add to muffins a couple of tablespoons substituted for equal amount of flour

i drink organic soy milk, but yesterday i read somewhere that its processed. is processed milk all that bad for one’s health?

All I know is that cow milk is believed to be the richest form of calcium. However, it is a misconception–the lactic acid in it actually robs bones of calcium. The same may possibly be true about goat’s milk (but I’m not certain). Also, many people have a hard time digesting it.

Soy acts like estrogen. Too much soy is actually bad for women–it can cause cysts in women’s breasts (potentially cancerous). I don’t know *how* it is processed.

I have no idea about hemp milk.

Rice milk is a good alternative, however, it is high in simple carbohydrates (it packs on weight). But it is delicious!

All in all, it’s my personal belief that milk isn’t an essential food in anyone’s diet–well, except for newborns.

cheers, also only answer if you know or are a nutrionionalist/personal trainer or anyone else with knowledge in the area…

IMO, I like the whey over hemp… more protein per gram… whey has almost double the protein concentration of hemp so it’s a much better deal for your dollar. Bloating will come if you are intolerant to dairy… but you will get gas anytime you have sugars (carbs) that are difficult for your body to digest.
