Teddy Bears Introduce Hemp Fabrics for Healthcare

Glenwood Springs, CO (PRWEB) February 09, 2015

EnviroTextiles is introducing antibacterial hemp fabrics into the children’s plush toy market thanks to a new partnership with a humanitarian teddy bear company, Bears for Humanity. The plush bears are intended for children in need, including many children living in isolated hospital environments.

EnviroTextiles founder Barbara Filippone has provided certified agricultural fibers for the apparel industry over the past 23 years. Now that she’s working with Bears for Humanity and its President Vijay Prathap, she’s launching a new healthcare market for her certified organic hemp textiles to supply various products including lab coats, privacy curtains, sheets, towels and patient gowns.

Early testing indicates that the anti-static materials developed for Bears for Humanity’s teddy bears are safe for sensitive hospital environments like CT scan rooms and prevent the spread of bacteria and other known bio hazards. Allowing children to carry their teddy bears with them into testing will provide better experiences for the children. The teddy bears could lead to using organic hemp blended fabrics for garments and many other materials in healthcare applications. “Hemp’s natural antibacterial qualities make this a natural fit,” says Filippone.

“Vijay came into my life at exactly the right moment,” Filippone explains. “Just when scared children need warm and furry hugs to boost their spirits – and just when the U.S. healthcare market needs safer products – these little bears are going to change everything.”

Bears for Humanity produces 100 percent certified organic natural fiber teddy bears. Their teddy bears are assembled in Union City, California, and for every bear sold they will donate a bear to a needy child through their highly-rated network of charitable partners such as Toys for Tots, Intel, Save the Children, and OneSimpleWish.org. Ordering information and further details about their mission can be found at http://www.BearsForHumanity.com.

EnviroTextiles, LLC is developing an initial product line of organic hemp medical supplies for wholesale customers. Hospitals and interested parties can visit http://www.envirotextile.com/hemp-medical-supplies/ to learn about joining our beta group of healthcare professionals.

Bears for Humanity trains and employees individuals through California’s welfare-to-work program, CalWorks, convinced that building a strong community is part of the solution to a sustainable future.

Hemp Seed Nut – Hype Or Health

Mankind has been searching for the perfect food since the beginning of time. We can recall scenes of the snake oil salesman hawking elixirs and potions of all kinds, even ones that supposedly included the oils from snakes, promising to cure everything that ailed a person.

If this is as good as it seems why haven’t we heard of it before now? Actually, it has been around for centuries. The Chinese were using it in medicine five thousand years ago and it was grown widely in the United States until it became illegal in 1937.

Clinical studies indicate that this tiny seed is unmatched in Nature for its balance of all required proteins and all essential fats as well as most vitamins and enzymes.

No other food will give you a perfect and natural blend of easily digested proteins, essential fats (Omega 3 – 6), amino acids, fiber, iron, vitamins, calcium and enzymes all in one package. It isn’t a vitamin or supplement.

There are no known allergies making it of special benefit to those who are unable to eat gluten, lactose, sugar, fish, nuts, meat and other common foods.

Just picture this:

If you suffer with arthritis imagine the feeling of relief from reduced swelling and inflammation.
Eat it at breakfast. Your body will then be satisfied and happily working with all the nutrients contained in the seeds, and won’t irritate you with hunger pains or cravings for sweet or salty snacks!
When eaten consistently for three months, many have noticed a reduction in cholesterol and blood pressure levels, decreasing the risk of stroke.
Stop feeling tired all the time. Give your body energy to burn! Bring back that youthful vitality and become more productive!
Another, less talked about benefit is the effect on one’s regularity. Yes, I’m talking bowels. It is also an excellent source of fiber.

So, what is this tiny little seed that almost sounds like “Jack and the Bean Stalk” fairytale promising to be magic? It is none other than Hemp Seed Nut. It is the fruit of the cannabis sativa plant or rather the inside of the dehulled hemp seed.

Hemp Seed Nut is gaining popularity as a natural nutritional substance within the health and wellness field as a viable source of well being. This natural food dramatically reduces many of the symptoms and diseases that are associated with the aging process. It can also improve circulation and boost the immune system.

You can expect to hear a lot more about the benefits of Hemp Seed Nut in the very near future. There seems to be no other natural food product quite like it.

Is Hemp Seed Nut the latest snake oil or is it truly “nature’s perfect food”?
