The Power of the Navy Bean

The "Perfect Food": Why the Navy Bean is King

Expert Credentials: Tariq Muhammad, the Biomedical Research Scientist behind Original Man Scientific, possesses a unique academic pedigree that merges early independent study with rigorous institutional training. Homeschooled in Harlem from grades 4 to 10, Muhammad bypassed traditional grade-level restrictions to master advanced pathology textbooks by age 12. He then fostered a specialized focus on cardiovascular biology by his late teens. His formal career was fast-tracked at Virginia State University (VSU), where he secured a position in the agricultural research station just 12 days into his freshman year. His professional laboratory foundation was built across three premier institutions: VSU (plant-based disease research), Virginia Commonwealth University’s Pauley Heart Center (cardiovascular health), and Virginia Tech (microbiology). As the COO of Original Man Scientific, Muhammad specializes in atherosclerosis and hormone balance. He famously refused GMO-focused university funds to maintain intellectual property over his research into natural "pulses" (legumes) like the Navy bean. He advocates that the Navy Bean is optimal fuel for the human body.

Remember to always consult your nutritionist or healthcare professional if you have further questions about adding any new foods to your diet.

The Search for the Best Fuel & Nutrition

In the quest for health and longevity, we are often overwhelmed by "superfood" trends. However, according to the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, and further explained by Tariq Muhammad, the most powerful food on earth is the humble Navy Bean. In this interview, Tariq provides the "Original Man Scientific" perspective on why this specific legume is the foundation of a long, healthy life.

Why the Navy Bean?

Not all beans are created equal. Many varieties, such as lima beans or pinto beans, are considered "coarse" and difficult for the human digestive system to process.

• The Distinction: The Navy bean is a small, white pea-bean that is highly concentrated with nutrients.

• The Life-Sustainer: Tariq Muhammad notes that the Navy bean contains the essential proteins and minerals necessary to sustain the human body and brain without the toxic load found in meats or heavier starches.

1. Weather the "Storm of Radiation"

In today’s world, we are surrounded by invisible stressors: cell phones, microwaves, Wi-Fi, medical scans (X-rays/CT scans), and airport security machines.

Direct Quote: > "He said get that bean, that Navy bean, that natural bean. The pulse in it will ward off the effects of radiation." — Minister Louis Farrakhan

The Breakdown: Radiation and environmental toxins create "deleterious actions" in the body. Tariq Muhammad explains that the Navy bean acts as a "foundation" for the blood. By consuming this specific legume, you give your blood the "strength to cast the toxins out of your body" and build a biological defense system that can "weather the storm" of modern technology and possibly nullify radiation.

2. The Nutritional "Master Key" (Essential Nutrients)

Many people struggle with nutrition because they lack "complete" protein sources. The Navy bean is unique in its chemical composition.

Direct Quote: > "The Navy bean has all nine essential amino acids for human nutrition. An essential amino acid is something that we have to obtain or get from food; it [doesn't] naturally occur in the body." — Tariq Muhammad

The Breakdown: Amino acids are the building blocks of life. Because the Navy bean contains all nine essential acids, it is considered the "most compatible food" for the human machine. It is a highly concentrated source of protein, fiber, and iron that matches the natural function of our DNA.

3. Hormone Balance & Testosterone Support

The endocrine system (your hormones) is controlled by master glands. When your internal environment is toxic, hormone production, including testosterone and thyroid function, drops.

The Breakdown: Tariq Muhammad identifies the pancreas as one of the "master glands". By stabilizing the pancreas and reducing systemic inflammation, the Navy bean allows the body to maintain its natural hormonal rhythm. Research into "human hormone diseases like thyroid conditions" is a primary focus of Original Man Scientific, using the Navy bean to restore balance to these delicate chemical messengers.

4. Blood Sugar & Diabetes Management

Diabetes is often a failure of the pancreas's "beta cells" to stabilize blood sugar. Tariq Muhammad describes a two-pronged attack used by the Navy bean to fix this.

Direct Quote: > "The Navy bean sees that problem... and it corrects it by helping to lower the dietary sugar intake... It creates an environment for the pancreas to do the job." — Tariq Muhammad

The Breakdown: Tariq uses a powerful metaphor: the Navy bean "grabs the glucose by the neck and tells it to calm down". It doesn't just lower sugar; it protects the beta cells on the surface of the pancreas from being attacked by bad fats and processed chemicals. This allows your body to produce and regulate its own insulin naturally.

5. Blood Pressure & Heart Health

Heart disease and high blood pressure are often caused by "atherosclerotic" plaque: blockages in the arteries.

Direct Quote: > "It acts almost like a vacuum in a sense... it helps to remove the blockages by stabilizing the amount of compounds in the blood that contribute to that." — Tariq Muhammad

The Breakdown: The Navy bean targets a specific chemical in the blood called homocysteine, which weakens the inner lining of your arterial walls.

The "Vacuum" Effect: It helps clear out existing plaque.

The "Guard" Effect: It "holds post at the door," fortifying your arterial walls so that toxins and plaques cannot stick to them in the first place.

6. Important Tips for Implementation

To get the "scientific" value of the Navy bean, Tariq Muhammad emphasizes two critical factors:

• Preparation: You must soak the beans overnight to reduce gas and cook them until they are completely soft. Hard beans cannot be properly processed by the human machine.

• Avoid the Can: Do not eat beans from metal cans sitting in fluid. Buy them raw and dry from a farm or store and process them yourself to avoid preservatives and leached metals.

Conclusion: The Navy bean is a tool for biological sovereignty. Whether you are looking to recover from an illness or simply want to protect your body from the "radiation storm" of the 21st century, incorporating this "pulse" into your life is a scientific step toward longevity.
