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. Visit http://www.cdss.ca.gov/calworks to learn more about our partnering program to provide jobs to at-risk mothers, fathers and caregivers.

Global Hemp Group Announces Consulting Agreement with Green Dot Consulting, Inc.

Burbank, CA (PRWEB) February 07, 2015

GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. is pleased to announce it has entered into a mutual consulting agreement with Green Dot Consulting, Inc. (“GDC”), of Burbank, California, an experienced leader in cannabis industry education; data analytics; legislation; product & business development; extractions, genetics and more. The GDC team has a long and successful track record building brands like Cannabis Career InstituteTM, CannaTrendsTM, CannaJobsTM and many others.

The agreement calls for Green Dot to consult with GHG on the expansion of its business model into the medical cannabis industry and associated projects. Similarly, GHG will consult with Green Dot on its expansion into the hemp industry and associated projects.

Initially GHG will consult for Cannabis Career Institute (“CCI”) on expanding curriculum to include coursework on hemp economics, business opportunities; building materials, food & nutrition, cultivation, genetics, processing, bio-composites, etc. GHG staff will be hired to speak at CCI classes on the business of hemp and the entrepreneurial opportunities available in the hemp industry. In addition, Green Dot is gearing up for several cultivation facility construction projects that they intend to build with hemp materials. GHG will consult on the design, materials selection and sourcing, construction, automation, optimization and management of these facilities.

Global Hemp Group has been receiving an increasing number of inquiries regarding consulting on medical cannabis related projects as the industry continues to rapidly expand. With this agreement in place, the Company now has a strong partner in Green Dot Consulting that enables it to pursue a wide range of projects in the medical cannabis spectrum.

Robert Calkin, CEO of Green Dot, Inc. stated: “One the major concerns surrounding the cannabis industry is that indoor production of marijuana already has an enormous carbon footprint and we’re just getting started. We are proud to partner with a company whose main focus is to reduce the amount of energy used in the cultivation and extraction process. The cost per gram of cannabis nationwide will be directly impacted by the choices we make now in these crucial areas of savings. Whole markets will fall in the future if these concerns aren’t addressed.”

“To partner with a strong, experienced company like Green Dot, led by cannabis industry pioneer Bob Calkin, is a privilege and holds tremendous value for our Company,” said Charles Larsen, CEO of Global Hemp Group. We are looking forward to getting started on projects that both companies already have queued up that will provide a consistent stream of revenues for both parties as GHG expands its business model. The relationship with CCI will produce a steady flow of new business consulting projects from the entrepreneurs that attend CCI classes to educate themselves before launching their own canna-business.”

About Green Dot Consulting, Inc.

Green Dot is a multi-faceted company with a vast national network that includes cannabis scientists, medical specialists, new-product developers, cultivation and cannabis-industry experts, labor management consultants and more. Green Dot offers a complete solution, providing consistent access to hybridized cannabis strains, customized specific cannabinoid products to the cannabis business industry while maintaining highly experienced, trained industry experts, detailed cannabis data management, labor force management and highly sensitive formulations from high performance labs and grow facilities.

GHG portfolio companies operate synergistically, enabling greater efficiencies, profitability and value through the economies of scale created from operating as a cohesive group.

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”?
