Could you be allergic to electricity?
On November 9th, I did a 3-hour interview on Coast-to-Coast Radio and your personal stories of electrosensitivity issues have been pouring in ever since.

"After hearing you on Coast-to-Coast, I unplugged the cell phone right next to my computer and I can't believe how much better I feel...I couldn't figure out why just stepping into my office would make me so nauseated everyday...maybe it’s a placebo, maybe not, but it's unplugged and I am so glad to… Continue reading Categories

Scope out your workplace and get smart about unwanted radiation.
Your workplace can emit electromagnetic pollution, ranging from very low fields to extremely high levels of radiation. Certain occupations—whether you're a hospital worker, logger, software developer, or stockbroker—can put you at much higher risk than other jobs do.
Electrical utility workers, for example, with the most AC electrical and magnetic exposure are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer, several studies show. New Zealand research published in Cancer, Causes & Control finds a higher risk for leukemia among "electrical occupations," ranging from… Continue reading Why Perimenopause Can Strike As Early As Your Mid-30s

Balance hormones when signs of the "Change" come too early.
Bloating, brain fog, depression, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, loss of libido, menstrual irregularities, migraine, thinning hair, swollen ankles and/or feet, vaginal dryness, water retention, and weight gain are common symptoms among menopausal women. But while they don't recognize the cause, all too many women start to experience these complaints—signs of perimenopause—starting in their mid-30s.
"It's not unlike a bad case of premenstrual syndrome," explains Gloria Bachmann, MD, professor and chief of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences at Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine. But… Continue reading Are We Killing Ourselves Slowly with the Latest Technology?

Get the straight talk about a health threat that's as serious as cigarettes or tanning beds.
With Zapped garnering all sorts of media attention, ranging from Huff Post and other blogs to interviews on AOL, NPR, and an upcoming appearance November 9th on Coast to Coast, today's blog will share some of the highlights from Dr. Ann Louise's recent interviews and media appearances.
Q: What's your take on radiation from these electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that everyone's talking about?
Dr. Ann Louise: I say err on the side of… Continue reading Get Down-to-Earth to Fix What Ails You

Ground yourself to slash belly fat and zap hot flashes, sleeplessness, and stress.
Which of these scenarios would you prefer? Trouble falling asleep only to awaken several times each night, muscle pain and leg cramps, plus hot flashes. Or this? Falling sound asleep with reduced back, leg, and neck pain, plus fewer hot flashes?
That's a no brainer! Anyone would take the second option over the first. But wait, what if that meant taking drugs with dubious or even dangerous side effects? In that case, many of us might try to live with… Continue reading Cordless Phones Can Harm Your Heart, New Study Shows
October 27th, 2010
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from cordless phones raised heart rate in almost half the subjects in a new study.
These digital phones emit extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs)—even when they're not in use. Much like antennas, cell phones, tube fluorescent lights, and WiFi, cordless phones contribute to electrosmog that's linked to arrhythmia, heart palpitations, and rapid heartbeat.
This new double-blind study just published in the European Journal of Oncology also reports other autonomic nervous system problems including anxiety, blood pressure changes, dizziness, fatigue, fainting spells, nausea, panic attacks, profuse sweating, and sleep… Continue reading Getting Enough Vitamin G?

"Vitamin G" is a natural solution to aches, chronic fatigue, and insomnia.
Does pain keep you from sleeping well—even with medicine and/or sleep aids? It did to one 49-year-old woman with chronic back and neck pain. No matter what meds she took the night before, she awakened stiff and sore—and had trouble getting through the day because she was so tired.
Then she tried a special sleep system that literally grounded her to the Earth. And after four nights, she reported substantially less pain, better quality sleep, and very little stiffness on waking… Continue reading Is Your Cordless Phone Zapping You?

New research links these and other wireless signals to heart irregularities.
A double-blind peer-reviewed study published today in the European Journal of Oncology links cordless phones—which transmit pulsed signals similar to WiFi networks—to heart palpitations and other autonomic nervous system problems.
"People don't just feel ill, their heart begins to race," says lead author Magda Havas, PhD. This is first study to document immediate, dramatic change in both heart rate and its variability from microwave (MW) exposure well below the federal standards in this country and Canada.
In this investigation, Colorado residents between 37… Continue reading Trying to Flatten Your Tummy?

Check your thyroid—this tiny gland plays a critical role in metabolism and weight.
Growing rates of abdominal obesity (better known as belly fat)—largely in younger women between the ages of 20 and 39—is fueling an increase in metabolic syndrome, a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. New research in Diabetes Care reports that 35% of American adults have metabolic syndrome—up from 29% in earlier surveys.
While last week's issue of JAMA finds that a healthy diet and increased physical activity are as effective as bariatric surgery in significantly reducing belly… Continue reading Reset Your Metabolism for the Weight You Want

Stress—even when you don't recognize it—can pack on the pounds.
Cortisol, the stress hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, can make you fat. If you're under any kind of stress, this hormone triggers fat storage—to protect against perceived "dangers ahead" and to provide instant energy that may be needed for "fight or flight."
When stress—including the stealth stress of being bathed 24/7 in electropollution from antennae, cell and cordless phones, electrical appliances and wiring, microwaves, PDAs, power lines, and WiFi—builds up over time, high levels of cortisol prevent sound sleep and stimulate hunger… Continue reading
