Cannabis Sativa oil
for omega balance

Udo Erasmus, the godfather of the omegas, wrote in his book “Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill”: “Hemp oil can be used for long periods of time to maintain a healthy omega balance without resulting in an omega deficiency or imbalance. Hemp oil has a better “long term” composition namely 3 parts omega-6 and 1 part omega-3. Besides, hemp oil contains nearly 2% GLA (gamma-linolenic acid).” An indispensable component for good health. In the Balance Delight, the hemp oil is enriched with sustainable red palm oil and wheat germ oil due to them being rich in carotenes and vitamin E. This way the omegas in hemp oil do not oxidise in our bodies and they are able to perform their healing actions.

Cannabis Sativa was until 1937 an extraordinary plant
The Encyclopaedia Britannica and most books were printed on hemp paper. The hemp industry was one of the most important industries in the world. The Napoleonic war in 1812 was about hemp. “Canvas” actually means cannabis. Paintings of Rembrandt and Van Gogh were painted on hemp linen. Until 1820, 80% of all textiles were hemp. The first Ford-T could run on hemp oil and was made of hemp plastic, 10 times stronger than steel. In September of 1937 hemp was made illegal. Large industries felt threatened. A useful plant became a drug and was named marihuana.

4 basic oil rules by Bart Maes

1. Healthy oils are as important as vegetables and fruit: The time we considered oils only as working instruments to prepare food must remain a thing of the past. We even require more calories from healthy oils than from proteins.

2. The quality of oil is more important than the kind: Only use extra virgin. Refined oils are more harmful than refined sugar. You recognise refined oils because they have a neutral taste or have become odourless through refinement. Margarine is often called plastic butter. Never use it. It is a cheap imitation from World War II when butter was too expensive. The healthy part of the oil is sold at a high price to the pharmaceutical industry. The waste is descented, refined and bleached and serves as the base for margarine.

3. Vary oils as you vary vegetables and fruit: A carrot is not the same as lettuce. Eating only wholesome carrots is too one-sided. That principle also applies to oils. Variation, also in oils, is the message.

4. Some oils you can heat, others are only to be used cold: Oils with many PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) are exclusively suitable for cold preparations. They become very harmful when heated. It is best that oils for heating contain as few PUFAs as possible.

Processing and refining foodstuffs is the number 1 malefactor of all diseases of civilisation.
