mobile phones and health
November 7, 2013

Are Mobile Phones Safe? Besides the symptoms reported by users that range from heating sensation and skin irritation, headaches, eye and sleep problems, to short-term memory loss, disorientation and brain tumour, there is a growing body of research that mobile phones have adverse effects on health that cannot be dismissed. The industry, however, has continued to insist that there is insufficient evidence, that the phones are 'safe' and that the radiation they emit falls well within the guidance laid down by the NRPB, which currently refuses to acknowledge any such need and has stuck rigidly to its position of only taking account of heating effects in its guidance (the case with all international guidance), despite growing evidence and criticism. THERMAL VERSUS NON-THERMAL EFFECTS The whole of the debate over mobile phones - and indeed over other sources of non-ionizing radiation such as VDUs, power lines, etc - centres on the evidence for and against thermal versus non-thermal biological effects. A thermal or heating effect on tissue is the currently accepted way that most orthodox scientists in this area consider that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can pose a significant hazard to the body and thus all guidance, both national and international, continues to be based on this assumption. Even the Stewart Report has not basically challenged this view.However, a growing body of evidence and opinion over the last decade indicates that effects can occur at levels well below that at which tissue begins to heat up and that these non-thermal effects can …

microwave ovens and health
November 7, 2013

Are Microwave Ovens Good for Health? Recent research shows that microwave oven-cooked food suffers severe molecular damage. When eaten, it causes abnormal changes in human blood and immune systems. Not surprisingly, the public has been denied details on these significant health dangers. I have often been asked by my patients whether cooking with microwave ovens is healthy or not. I did not really have an objective, scientific answer to give, as I had not really researched the matter. Well, recently I decided to do some useful research into the question of microwave cooking. I had a hunch that it was NOT healthy, and this was confirmed by my research! I will share with you in summary some of the interesting facts that I dug up from my research.MICROWAVED BLOOD KILLS! In 1991, word leaked out about a lawsuit in Oklahoma. A woman named Norma Levitt had hip surgery, only to be killed by a simple blood transfusion when a nurse "warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven"! (J. Nat. Sci, 1998; 1:2-7). Logic suggests that if heating or cooking is all there is to it, then it doesn't matter what mode of heating technology one uses. However, it is quite apparent that there is more to 'heating' with microwaves than we've been led to believe. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed-but not in microwave ovens! In the case of Mrs. Levitt, the micro-waving altered the blood and it killed her. DR. HANS HERTZEL AND MICROWAVE RESEARCH HANS …

geopathic stress and disease
November 7, 2013

Geopathic Stress - How Earth Energies Affect Our Lives What is Geopathic Stress? It is the general term for energies emanating from the earth that can cause discomfort and ill health in human beings. If the exposure to Geopathic energies is short-lived, then in general the effects are insignificant, although some people will show symptoms of tiredness, inattention and headaches when sitting in a geopathically stressed area for even one or two hours. Nowadays people may live in the same building for many years and their exposure to a particular form of negative energy could last a long time. Rolf Gordon, the founder of the Dulwich Health Society, UK, has remarked that gypsies rarely get cancer. Gordon believes that this is because they move from place to place and any exposure to a ‘bad’ place would be for only a couple of weeks at most. He also notes that when choosing a site gypsies will take into account the feel of a place.Geopathic energy is an insidious phenomenon: we cannot see it or adequately explain it in current scientific terms, but the effects of it are likely to prove at least as devastating as environmental pollution. Geopathic energies pass through walls, windows and closed doors – they do not recognize boundaries. GEOPATHIC STRESS AND ITS SYMPTOMS The earth has a natural magnetic field; it acts as though it has a large magnet at its center. The rotation of the earth creates electric currents in the molten metals found within the …

lethal music and health
November 7, 2013

Lethal Music! by Unknown David Merrel, a high school student from Suffolk, Virginia, has won top honors in regional and state science fairs for his experiment involving mice, a maze and hard-rock music, according to a report in the Washington Times. After establishing a baseline of about ten minutes for the mice to navigate the maze, David started playing music ten hours a day - lethal music. Then he put the mice through the maze three times a week for three weeks. Merrell found that the control-group mice, which did not listen to any music, were able to cut five minutes off their time; the mice that listened to classical music cut 8-1/2 minutes off there time; and the mice that listened to hard-rock music took 20 minutes longer to navigate the maze. He said, "I had to cut my project short because all the hard-rock mice killed each other ... None of the classical mice did that at all."

causes of earthquakes

Are Planetary Alignments Responsible for Earthquakes? NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have been warning the world for over two years about the imminent catastrophes that may unfold during late 2011 through 2012. Are Planetary Alignments Responsible for Earthquakes? Calling it a “once in a lifetime super solar storm event,” NASA warns that killer solar flares can slam the Earth knocking out the Northern Hemisphere’s technological infrastructure and kicking everything back to the level of the late 1800s.One eminent Russian astrophysicist, Alexey Demetriev claims what is happening is actually much worse than what NASA and ESA have admitted. NASA scientists discovered on July 14, 2010 that our solar system is passing through an interstellar energy cloud. This highly energized, electrified cloud of gas is disturbing and disrupting the sun. In conjunction with Earth’s weakening and moving magnetic shield, the world is becoming defenseless against massive solar flares and intense radiation check out this video entitled “Simply Amazing Solar Prominence Eruption.” On June 7th of this year NASA reported one of the most massive solar eruptions ever seen – this is called a coronal mass ejection (CME). NASA reports that the CME created a large cloud that appeared to cover almost half the surface of the sun. The National Weather Service is predicting minor effects on satellites and weak impacts on some power grids. There are further predictions by NASA for even larger solar storms in 2012. Entire Solar System at Risk Dr. Demetriev has revealed that a cloud of energy is exciting …

soya good or bad
November 7, 2013

Is Soya Healthy Soy is still widely perceived to be a “health food” in the United States, raking in some $4 billion a year. In the United States, every part of the soybean is used for profit, including soy lecithin - the waste left over after a soybean is processed - and soy protein isolate, which was initially invented to be used to make cardboard. Many people consume soy because of claims that it can reduce the risk of heart disease, alleviate symptoms of menopause, lower cholesterol and even cut your risk of cancer.But in reality, as Mary Vance describes in the important essay linked below, when people consume soy products it can eventually lead to health problems ranging from digestive upset and bloating to hormonal disruption. And among infants, the estrogens in soy formula can be devastating, causing problems in their brains, reproductive systems and thyroid glands. There are 100 years worth of studies demonstrating that soy products can be hazardous to your health, but soy is nonetheless now everywhere in our food supply, often hidden in processed foods. The Israeli Health Ministry recently issued a health advisory strongly recommending that soy foods be eaten only in moderation. They also recommended that soy formula be avoided altogether by infants. A Host of Disorders There are hundreds of studies linking soy with such disorders as: • Digestive problems • Thyroid dysfunction • ADD and ADHD • Dementia • Reproductive disorders • Cancer Phytoestrogens are the Culprit The Israeli Ministry based …

xenoestrogens and health
November 7, 2013

Killing Ourselves With Xenobiotics Toxic Chemicals Everywhere Toxic chemicals, otherwise known as “xenobiotics” (Gk: foreign to life) which are scattered all over our planet from the North Pole to the South Pole, are being constantly researched, and the conclusion is that they are extremely toxic to humans as well as wildlife. Even though some chemicals have been taken off the market, those that remain are even more noxious than the ones already banned. Bioaccumulation in soils, water supplies and the tissues of animals and humans is a real problem which results in these chemicals lingering for many, many years even after they have being banned. DDT, for example, has been banned for more than 25 years in the Western world, yet it is still being found in the tissues of wildlife in the arctic, as well as humans in many different countries. A recent study noted that only five organochlorine compounds and mercury were found in marine mammals in the 1960s. Today over 265 organic pollutants and 50 inorganic chemicals have been found in these species.1 Recent research has focused on how chemicals affect the thyroid and pituitary systems. Some chemicals have been identified as endocrine disrupters because they can interfere with the body’s own hormones, which are secreted by the endocrine glands. It is also emerging that endocrine disrupters can have many physiological effects not directly associated with the primary system. For example, the thyroid system is well known to regulate metabolism, but it is also a crucial component …

msg is good or bad
November 7, 2013

MSG and Health INTRODUCTION Monosodium Glutamate, a food ingredient, was invented in 1908 in Japan, by Kikunae Ikeda. A year later, with a partner, he formed a company, Ajinomoto, to produce the product. The food additive did not appear in the United States to any degree until the late 1940s, following the Second World War. During the war, it had been noted that Japanese soldiers' rations tasted better than the rations used by our soldiers. The difference was believed to be "monosodium glutamate." Today, "monosodium glutamate" or its reactive component, "processed free glutamic acid," is found in almost all of the processed foods that are manufactured in the United States. ADVERSE EFFECTS OF MSG In 1957, Lucas and Newhouse found that normal neonatal mice suffered acute degenerative lesions in the inner retina when "monosodium glutamate" was administered by feeding tube.1 In 1968, during a replication of this study at Washington University Medical School, St., Louis, Missouri, Dr. John W. Olney2 noted that, some of the mice had become grotesquely obese. He decided to sacrifice some of the mice to confirm his belief that lesions would be found in the hypothalamus region of the brain. Not only was his suspicion confirmed, but further testing indicated that there were also other neuroendocrine effects from the "monosodium glutamate." His findings were published in 1969.2 Dr. Olney, a National Academy of Science scientist who is credited for the voluntary removal of MSG from baby food in the 1970s, continues to publish research3-5 on the …
