Current News
Nano-Enhanced Hemp (CBD) OilMargaret and Russell have finished their personal testing of a new product, PrimeMyBody (PMB) Nano-Enhanced Hemp Oil. Russell got benefits in reducing brain fog, anxiety, depressive thoughts, afternoon brain and body fatigue from his concussion (mild Traumatic Brain Injury-mTBI). He also has realized increased energy, optimism, creativity and daily stamina towards his continued mTBI recovery. He also got good results in reducing a bursa sac swelling on his knee and encouraging results in reducing a huge lipoma. PrimeMyBody's (PMB) Nano-Enhanced Hemp Oil. contains cannabidiol oil or CBD oil, that works on the human and animal endocannabinoid system. These phyto cannabinoid diols help our bodies better fight and resist outside invaders and also assist in repairing the mind and body. Early CBD research reports the following benefits:
Three things make this PMB product unique:
The end result is a PrimeMyBody CBD compound that was demonstrated to have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, deposit their cargo intracellularly and enhance lymphatic circulation of nutrients. The manufacturer claims a 5-10X increased uptake and bioavailability over other, even pharmaceutical-grade, CBD products. You can order a full-size, 50 ml, Hemp Oil bottle now at, Nano-Enhanced Hemp Oil. Soon, we will publish an entire Hemp Oil web page explaining the benefits of CBD oil, what makes this nanoenhanced product yield 5-10X the benefits of ordinary CBD extracts and concentrates and how it works naturally in our and our pets bodies. We will also have 10 ml trial-size bottles to offer. If you cannot wait for our web page, click this link to download a 9-page PDF flyer, Hemp Oil Flyer.

Organic IS BetterBy Russell LouieWhen I was growing up back in the 1950-1960’s, we went to Grossmann’s Farm in Malverne (Long Island), New York, to buy our fresh produce and meats. This farm is now called Crossroads Farm at Grossmann's and is the largest organic, non-profit, volunteer-run, CSA-Community Supported Agriculture farm closest to New York City. We also belonged to a co-op to buy bulk foods and went to farms in Suffolk County to pick our own fruit. Farmer’s roadside stands were common place. I remember asking my mother one day, “Why do people go to the supermarket to buy food?” She said because of the convenience in buying meats, vegetables and packaged goods all in one place. One-stop-shopping for the suburban (and sometimes working) housewife was definitely a big benefit. I also asked her if store-bought food was better. She did not seem to think so but back then, there was no proof. Today, chemists tell us there is no molecular difference between organic food, vitamins and supplements and factory-farmed food, synthetic vitamins and man-made, isolated supplements. I have always been able to taste the difference between factory-farmed, grocery store-purchased meats and vegetables over organic, CSA, small farm foods. There is a richer, fuller taste from organic fruits, vegetables and even meats. The kernels on organic CSA-grown corn may not be as perfectly aligned in rows or as yellow as grocery-store, factory-farmed corn but the organic corn definitely is sweeter, moister and less starchy. Organic tomatoes have a deeper red color and a much richer taste than conventionally (even hydroponic) grown ones. 50 years later proof that organic IS better is starting to roll in. The British Journal of Nutrition (Volume 112, Issue 5, September 14, 2014 , pp. 794-811) published a study led by Carlo Leifert, which showed a “meta-analyses based on 343 peer-reviewed publications that indicate statistically significant and meaningful differences in composition between organic and non-organic crops/crop-based foods. Additionally, the frequency of occurrence of pesticide residues was found to be four times higher in conventional crops, which also contained significantly higher concentrations of the toxic metal Cd.” The study found that organic foods contain significantly higher levels of “nutritionally desirable” antioxidants, compared to conventional crops including:
In another 2014 study, Carlo Leifert analyzed 196 papers on milk and 67 on meat and found distinct differences in their fatty acid composition and concentrations of essential minerals and antioxidants. Among the findings are:
Of course, there are critics of both studies, citing the fact that they were funded by organic interests. While the molecular structure of organic nutrients might be the same, my taste buds are not funded by any outside interests and I can taste the difference. The higher percentages of the "desirable" nutrients might be the reason why organic food taste better to me, not the chemical structure of molecules. Margaret found in her research that our current day, factory-farm soil is 55-85% more mineral deficient than it was in 1940. Fewer minerals could definitely be another reason why food is less tasty today. Read her article at: Lack of minerals leads to lack of health At 66 years old, I am starting to feel and see the difference in my peers, who did not grow up eating organically. The only medication I need today is glaucoma eye drops for Low Tension Glaucoma, which is thought to be of genetic origin. After my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in 2012, I experienced the following sudden onset of symptoms:
While some people might argue these are all “normal” symptoms for a senior 65+ years old, all these symptoms started immediately after my accident (2012). By using “wholistic” nutritional therapy (brain-specific supplements, whole superfood products BioSuperfood-f3 and ALPHA-G and essential oils) I have been able to make good progress in reversing these acute symptoms. I also attribute my good progress to my body’s holistic foundation from eating a mostly organic diet, grass-fed meats and wild caught (non-farm raised) fish most of my life. I intend to continue my TBI treatment, therapy and good diet until I can be symptoms-free and not acting or behaving like a “65+ year old senior citizen.” Here is another consideration. Are you taking a ton (or at least a shoe box-full) of isolated supplements and do not even know if half of them are working? If you ate organic whole foods, without the nutritional deficiencies listed in the above studies, would you be able to stop half or more of this supplementation? Download our flyer Stop Supplementing Symptoms, to discover the advantages and disadvantages of isolated supplements. Go to our Vitamin C web page to uncover the fallacy of taking Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supplements and why the symptoms come back, versus eating whole food green peppers and having the symptoms go away forever. While this is not conclusive proof, I believe science will eventually prove organically-grown, grass-fed, wild-caught food is better both nutritionally and taste-wise. We would rather be holistically proactive by spending money on healthier organic, pasture-raised foods now, than medically reactive later by spending money on drugs and Western medical treatment. You be the judge as to what is worthwhile for your family (including 4-legged children).
