Fight cell phone pollution from the inside out.
Since the news broke that the World Health Organization has classified cell phones as a “possible carcinogenic hazard” the media has been relentless. Yesterday, the NY Times even weighed in.
I think there is plenty we can do right now—today—to protect ourselves before we learn that cell phones really weren't good for our health in the first place. (Think about the suppression of evidence regarding tobacco, asbestos, agent orange, HRT, and tanning beds.)
Here's what I think: Since EMFs target your cells—the membranes in particular—you must keep your minerals at top notch levels… Continue reading Categories

Should cell phones be banned from children?
The Parliamentary Assembly in Europe concluded on May 6th—after an in-depth examination of evidence—that cell phones and Wi-Fi should be banned in schools. Why? Because of their “potentially harmful” effects on humans…especially “little” humans. And in breaking news today, the World Health Organization is now labeling mobile phones a "carcinogenic hazard"—like lead and chloroform.
Children are always the most vulnerable victims of environmental pollution. For instance, because of their size, they absorb 50 percent more air pollution than adults. When it… Continue reading Got Milk?

I hope not.
It’s all over the news. The radiation from the Japanese Fukushima nuclear meltdown is spreading world wide—and has been found in our milk. The levels of Iodine 131 alone have been reported to be 300% higher than maximum. But what about the other radioactive elements that could be in milk—a primary food source of calcium that many Americans depend upon for building strong teeth and bones.
First off, it’s strange to me that nobody is talking about Strontium 90—the most hazardous of all radiation elements to the bones and teeth. It… Continue reading Radiation At Home

Are you living close to a nuclear plant?
The whole world is watching the tragic aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Headlines of the resulting nuclear crisis leave us with images of workers in protective suits, smoke rising, and feelings of uncertainty and fear. Last Tuesday, I blogged about what you can do to help eliminate and protect against radiation. But is the Japanese tragedy our only radiation worry? What about nuclear exposure right here in our own country?
There are over 100 operating nuclear plants in the USA. Millions of Americans live within 100 miles of a nuclear… Continue reading Radiation Coming Our Way

What you can eat to beat nuclear plant fallout.
Last Friday, Japan was hit with an 8.9-magnitude earthquake—the largest since the country began keeping records in the 19th century. It was followed by a tsunami that ripped through the country’s coastline, destroying virtually everything in sight. The quake damaged several nuclear reactors, leading to threats of harmful radioactive leaks and meltdowns. Because radioactivity is airborne, it can be transported for hundreds of miles beyond its origin.
This air-borne radiation may take weeks or even months to reach our coasts, but reach us, it will.
Radiation damages… Continue reading Can Your Cell Phone Create Brain Damage?

Even low-level radiation from mobile phones zaps the brain.
This just in: Wednesday's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that simply holding an activated cell phone next to your head for less than an hour (50 minutes to be exact) changes brain metabolism—and you don't even need to be talking on your phone!
Nora Volkow, MD, lead researcher of the National Institutes of Health and the Brookhaven Nation Lab team that reported the study, said in JAMA that the "regions expected to have the greatest absorption of RF-EMFs from the cell… Continue reading The Earthing Phenomenon

"Vitamin G" reduces stress, promotes sleep, and relieves inflammation.
As a pioneer in the US cable TV industry, Clint Ober was intimately familiar with the role of grounding to protect the integrity and clarity of transmissions. After his retirement, Ober began to wonder if there was any need for humans, like all electrical systems—including cable TV—to be grounded in order to function effectively. He had suddenly become aware that most humans wear shoes with plastic or rubber soles that insulated them form the earth's natural electrical field, the same field that provides the stable… Continue reading Love Your Heart

The cardio tests and single nutrient your heart shouldn't be without.
Since February is Heart Health Month, last week I decided to undergo several cardiovascular screenings that included a complete set of heart disease, aneurysm, and stroke tests along with a bone density test. For less than $180, my package included an echocardiogram, which uses sound waves to give you a moving picture of the heart—without the ionizing radiation exposure that does damage to the thyroid and other organs.
I like this non-invasive test because it picks up the kinds of subtle heart signals—like arrhythmias (or… Continue reading Sleeping SOS: Watch Out for a Widening Waistline

Snooze safely and slim down.
I just opened my February Allure;
The piece on "Sleeping and Dieting" really caught my attention, especially because of the headline from the Annals of Internal Medicine. It read, "55% less body fat was lost by dieters who slept 5.5 hours per night versus 9.5 hours." This means that even if you are dieting, increased body fat is sill associated with sleep deprivation.
It’s incredible that as many as 32 million Americans are sleepless—and not just in Seattle, anymore. But why, I wonder? Is it just the usual suspects: medication side effects, anxiety, circadian rhythm disorders, or even sleep apnea that… Continue reading Mobile Phone Health Scares Go Beyond Brain Tumors

A rise in rare tumors parallels greater mobile phone use.
The debate over cell phone use just took a dramatic turn. Researchers at Hebrew University in Jerusalem have found that cases of cancerous or benign parotid gland tumors—the parotid (or salivary) gland being the gland located closest to where people hold their phones—have quadrupled since 1970. The greatest rise was since 2001, just when cell phone use skyrocketed in Israel.
This evidence flies in the face of arguments that there has been no increase in tumors since cell phones became popular. And a new… Continue reading
