Truth About Cell Phone and Wireless Radiation Video

There are more than 5 billion cell phones and well over 7.2 billion mobile devices in world. The number of those devices collectively has shot from zero to more than the number of people on Earth in just 30 years.

I came to the cell party a bit late ten years ago, and I’ve since been a big fan. I can talk with people just about anywhere on the planet – instantly. I can look up facts with incredible speed. My phone’s my go-to device to learn foreign languages – everyday – and there’s much more.

But what about the health risks associated with these devices? After all, mobile device technology is an offshoot of radar and microwave technology, and we know that direct exposure to electromagnetic energy is not what the surgeon general recommends.

I’ve search just a bit for mobile device health related information online – I just did that again now – and have found nothing more than “research continues with no conclusive proof”.

Sound familiar?

Then, last night I watched a much more conclusive video delivered by renowned Phd. epidemiologist, Dr. Devra Davis, who was one of the key drivers pushing for the smoking ban on airlines. To me, Dr. Davis’s 2015 video, “The Truth About Mobile Phone and Wireless Radiation”, comes with the same wake up punch as UCSF pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Robert Lustig’s eye opening 2009 “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” video about the severely negative health effects of sugar.

That video significantly changed my life.

The most significant consideration to bear in mind regarding mobile devices is that their energy does not treat all ages and sexes equally. Kids are most vulnerable, and men women are affected differently.

I already barely use my cell phone directly with my head. I use wired ear buds instead or talk on speaker phone. Beyond that, I’ll now make sure to keep my phone out of my pocket whenever I can.

Please give the video a look and then make up your own mind about how you plan to interact with your mobile devices.

All the best,

 

 

How to Recognize and Change Our Strong Emotional Connection to Food

Emotional Connection to Eating - Orlando Heath Article

Followed a link from Stonehearth Newsletters to the recent and very informative Orlando Health article (I recommend you see by clicking any picture on this page) about our powerfully strong emotional connection to food and how that affects both why we eat and our body weight.

Bottom line: our emotional connection to food is established early in life and is reinforced as we grow. We’re either rewarded or reward ourselves for doing something well or comforted when we’re hurt, tired, or upset with flavorful, and usually not so nutritionally sound, foods at times that don’t necessarily correspond with our body’s need for energy-sustaining nourishment. That emotional connection is so strong that it stays with us throughout our lives unless or until we first become aware of that connection and then use that awareness to develop strategies to change our behavior.

Syria: A Terrific Moment for International Relevancy

Click for link to Sept. 10th NY Times article on possible brokered Syrian settlement

Abraham Lincoln said it clearly only 150 years ago: “With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.” That line has held true through history, and it sure applies to what we as a unified world choose to do about Syria – and our future.

Just look at what’s happened since the Syrians used chemical weapons on their own people on August 21st. International outrage continues to rise while opposition to a retaliatory strike has become nearly unanimous. Even here in the US, where the thought of going it alone is still on the table, the world’s public sentiment is echoed loudly by congressional support that diminishes by the day and public opinion that is in the distinct minority.   Read more »

No on Syrian Strike: Norms and Consequences

We should not strike Syria in response for their use of chemical weapons on their own people for two reasons: norms are not laws and consequences were never identified before the weapons were used.

First, President Obama was very careful to say that Syria violated international “norms”, not international law, Read more »
