EAT the SEED

EAT the SEED

Written by Bradford S. Weeks, M.D.
Board Member and Vice-Chairman, National Health Federation

In reading this short article, which I share with you and your loved ones today, I am unabashedly seeking to conscript you to join with the National Health Federation (NHF) and celebrate the revolution in nutrition: eat the seeds! Why would I want you to eat bitter seeds that are encased in an indigestible husk?

Well, food scientists now understand that seeds are the most plentiful food source on earth (think “renewable”) and are also, more importantly, the most nutrient-dense food on Earth. Yes, as the plant grows and the vegetable or fruit ripens, the humble seed naturally bio-accumulates nutrients up to 20x more than what is present in the sweet flesh of the fruit or vegetable which produced the seed. The seed is a time capsule designed to take the plant’s genetic material into the future and so it is packed full of bioavailable genetic spare parts to buff up and renovate our own aging DNA (see “transgenetics,” the understanding that in addition to macronutrients we also absorb and incorporate genetic material from our food).

In addition, the seeds are also fully stocked with nutrients to nourish the new plant as it sprouts and thrives where the seed happened to be planted. Seeds offer us the optimal nutrition. Bottom line: seeds offer more health-giving nutrition than the sweet stuff we usually eat. So, you are now asking yourself, “Why do I throw away the lemon seeds when I make lemonade or the grapefruit seeds when I enjoy grapefruit? Why do I toss the most nutrient dense part of the avocado (the pit!) and scoop out and waste the numerous papaya seeds rather than eating them? Why indeed!

Let me tell you why. There are three reasons.

Reason#1: We humans are sugar-holics and being as we are addicted to sugar, we throw away the seed and eat sweet flesh of fruits and vegetables. Big mistake! This fact reveals how humans and others are tricked by nature to help propagate plants. The sweet part of the fruit or vegetable is the decoy. It is designed to have you (or any animal) swallow, without chewing, the whole intact seed while eating the sweet fruit and then, upon completion of your digestive cycle, “deposit” the seed along with your fertilizer remote from the source thus planting a daughter plant remote from where the original fruit was consumed.

Reason #2: No one told you that you were throwing away the healthiest part of the plant. Did you know that there is twice as much bioavailable vitamin C in the skin of an orange than in the flesh? What about the powerful anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain? A pineapple’s core and peel yielded the highest amount of bromelain in the fruit, at 40 percent by weight, but when was the last time you ate the skin of the pineapple let alone the fibrous core? And being Summer, let’s take the fabulous watermelon, rich as it is in structured exclusion-zone water, for example. If you ate the watermelon seeds, you would benefit from 20x more selenium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, etc. than were you to eat just the sweet flesh. Yet, we spit out the seeds and we eat another sugar-filled slice of this wonderful Summer food, wasting valuable nutrition.

Reason #3: The seed is bitter and encased in an indigestible husk. Most seeds pass right though you because who would chew up a bitter seed? Just like the last time you ate corn on the cob and the kernels simply passed right through you, offering you zero nutritional benefit. Well, here is the great news! We have the technology to optimally nourish you. Just as people have been grinding wheat berries to make wheat flour or slicing up groats to make steel cut oats, you can now grind up your seeds and benefit from optimal nutrition. All you need are four things: 1) organic produce (more on this later) 2) a freezer and 3) a secondhand coffee grinder and 4) a natural sweetener (being a beekeeper, I suggest raw organic honey).

Collect all seeds from your organic fruits and vegetables, freeze them in a glass jar, and once a day grind the frozen seeds to a fine flour (now the husk with all its glycoproteins and beta glucans is digestible) and add raw honey (now the bitterness is not objectionable) before spreading on your salad, adding to your hamburger before cooking, stirring into your soup or mixing into your smoothie. Bingo! You are now eating the seed and revolting again the scourge of junk food and empty calories. A word of warning: Your seed source MUST be organic and non-GMO because all living organisms sequester and store toxins in fatty tissue. The tuna belly, eyes, and brain are where mercury accumulates, not the muscle. In the plant, the fatty tissue is the seed! Eat organic!

I know, that sounds like a lot of work – picking, and freezing, and grinding, etc. So, we at NHF have made it easier for you and your family to eat the organic and non-GMO seeds with quick, convenient nutrition. Go to NHF’s new seed nutrition website http://www.myrainlife.com/nhf and buy your seeds prepackaged in drink form. Select according to your needs: SOUL for seeds for anti-inflammation, CORE seeds for detoxification, FORM protein seeds for immune enhancement, BEND seeds for joint, ligament, and tendon support, and PURE seeds for pre- and pro-biotics to heal your gastrointestinal tract and any auto-immunity from leaky gut syndromes.

The news gets better! Here is the win-win: You buy as a preferred customer of NHF at our ecommerce marketing website at www.myrainlife.com/nhf and get wholesale pricing with an unconditional satisfaction or money back guarantee on the first of any product you buy and NHF earns a commission, which we can use to fund heroic efforts to protect your health and health freedom. This is a way for you to support NHF’s mission and improve your health significantly at the same time. Simply by buying a seed-based drink, which is so nutrient dense that one packet of SOUL, for example, offers the equivalent of 8 servings of organic vegetables, 8 servings or organic fruits, and 3 servings of organic seed oils. This would be a challenge for you to eat daily and this delivery system is amazingly bioavailable, convenient, and portable superior nutrition.

In addition to optimally nourishing the human body, these seed drinks, being anti-inflammatory and detoxifying, will also nutritionally support your body during chronic degenerative illness stages since inflammation drives everything from A-Z: asthma, back pain, Crohn’s disease, eczema, fibromyalgia, gout, hypertension, ischemia … all the way to zits. Did you know that inflammation makes all psychiatric diseases worse? Many people take 6-8 packets to nutritionally benefit from lots of seed-based nutrition.

When I first started offering these seeds to my family and patients, I was astonished at the incomparable results people experienced rapidly. I was so impressed that I consulted with the founder of the seed company and told him that I thought that his products were miraculous. He smiled and said words that I will never forget: “Thank you Dr. Weeks for your kind compliment, but you are wrong. Our seed products are not miraculous. They simply feed the human body optimally and once nutrition is optimized, the human body, the real miracle worker, performs miracles.”

Do you believe in miracles? Of course you do! You and I are living proof. Within our skin, incomprehensible deeds of regeneration and detoxification are accomplished moment by moment by our genes, our enzymes, our fascia, our peristalsis, and of course by our mind. We all enjoy the benefit of our biochemistry ceaselessly striving towards health. Someone wiser than I once taught: “When nutrition is poor, drugs are useless. When nutrition is optimal drugs are unnecessary.” Eat the seed and this one lifestyle improvement will lessen your need for patented, prescription, profitable, and side-effect cursed drugs which are pitched by misguided M.D.s (who are increasingly acting not as healers, but rather as Marketing Directors for big pHARMa).

About Dr. Weeks:

Dr. Bradford S. Weeks, M.D. is the Founder and Medical Director of Alternative Health Advocates (AHA), an advocacy service for people seeking counsel when facing life threatening illnesses and the Corrective Health Institute Medical Education Services (CHIMES) offering life saving information for people seeking healthy strategies. Located on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Weeks has over 30 years of experience integrating conventional and innovative medicine into the field of “corrective” medicine and psychiatry which identifies and corrects deficiencies and toxicities on the physical, etheric, emotional and spiritual spheres. (www.weeksclinic.com). Early work with venoms led to a study in immunology and in 1986, he founded and was president of the American Apitherapy Society (www.apitherapy.org) while editing the society journal “BeeWell”. Mentoring by Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD led to Dr. Weeks serving on the board of the International Schizophrenia Foundation for 10 years and helping develop orthomolecular psychiatry (www.orthomed.org) and psycho-neuro-immunology. The focus of his work has always been education towards empowerment and freedom for the individual struggling towards health. A charter and founding member of International Organization of Integrative Cancer Physicians (www.ioicp.com) he is one of 3 doctors in the USA who is certified to teach insulin potentiation chemotherapy (IPT) to medical doctors. He offers “centisble” (i.e. safe, effective and cost-effective) therapeutic options for people facing life-threatening chronic degenerative diseases. A pioneer in onco-immunology, he has lectured over the past 10 years about the revolution in oncology teaching that cancer STEM cells (the only cells which metastasize) should be the target for treatment, and not the relatively harmless cancer TUMOR cells (which chemotherapy and radiation target). (www.weeksclinic.com/correctivehealth/lectures/). Dr. Weeks has developed effective “centsible” cancer treatments including potent anti-inflammatory and genetic repair protocols. Constantly challenged by orthodox oncologists and state medical boards, Dr. Weeks became, out of necessity, politically active and founded the Washington Integrative Medical Association to help citizens protect their health care freedom of choice. When his medical license was unjustly suspended (see case info here: no patients complained, no patients harmed, this being simply an attack on a pioneering successful integrative medical doctor) Dr. Weeks became a full time medical lecturer and educator as well as a board member for important health organizations like the National Health Federation where helps manage campaigns for health care freedom of choice. His newsletter Centsible Health is free to those interested in learning about tomorrow’s medicine today! Dr. Weeks’ revolutionary videos are available at no charge on his YouTube channel. He is grateful to support the heroic mission of NHF as the vice-Chairman and encourages everyone to access the NHF website to remain vigilant as regards health care freedoms and rights.
