by Erika Gombosova</p>
<p>I hope that reading the title of this article got your attention. We are going to talk about energy management. You heard it right: I have used the big word ENERGY. I know you are probably thinking to yourself right now: &#8220;Here we go. She&#8217;s going to start talking about some esoteric concepts that don&#8217;t mean anything to me.&#8221;
<p> Let me tell you that isn&#8217;t going to be the case. My intention here is to demystify the esoteric concept of energy from a simple and practical standpoint.</p>
<p> Here is what we will touch upon:</p>
</p>
<ul>
<li>What does it mean to be an energetic being?</li>
<li>How to manage your energy in the way that works for you.</li>
<li>How to recognize an &#8220;energy drain.&#8221;</li>
<li>What is the difference between spending versus investing your energy.</li>
<li>How to protect yourself from energy vampires.</li>
<li>How food affects your energy.</li>
<li>What to do to feel more energized and alive in your life.</li>
<li>Tools and resources you can use to affect your energy levels and also to protect yourself.</li>
</ul>
<p> Since this would be too much information to cover in one article, and I also don&#8217;t want you to go to sleep while reading this, I&#8217;m dividing it into two parts. <b>The first part we will talk about managing your energy.</b> The second part will cover how to protect your energy and tools you can use, and will be discussed in the next issue of Live Your Life.
</p>
<p> Let&#8217;s start from the beginning. Why am I the person you should listen to? I don&#8217;t think you SHOULD do anything in your life. Yes you heard me right. However, if what I&#8217;m saying is making sense to you and you feel attracted to it, then by all means read and draw your own conclusions about what I&#8217;m sharing with you. <b>I always believe in questioning and trying things for yourself. Otherwise, how will you find your own way in life?</b> This is my platform to share my own experiences with you and what I have learned through those experiences.</p>
<p> So if you are still with me, here we go:</p>
<p> The first time that I was introduced to the concept of energy was when I was 20 years old. <b>Coming from a conventional medicine background you can imagine my response to the energy concept.</b> (Too bad you can&#8217;t see my face, because it would be so much easier to show you than to describe what that looked like back in the day.) It was kind of the same thing as talking about UFOs. Not something I ever knew about, had no tangible experience with, and on top of everything, <b>I was coming from a very rigid place, which was, &#8220;If I can&#8217;t see it, smell it, or touch it, then it must not exist.&#8221;</b> Does that sound at all familiar to you? I had 1,000 questions and I wanted to understand it NOW! I was functioning from my intellect and that is where I stayed most of the time. Why? Because that is where I was comfortable.</p>
<p> Here is the reason: There were events in my childhood so painful and overwhelming that at one point in my life I disconnected from my emotions.</p>
<p> The result was me disowning a very essential and important part of myself&#8211;my sense of knowing. Call it intuition. I found out years later emotions are your essential connector to your intuition.</p>
<p> <b>Pointer #1:</b> It is usually challenging to believe in something that you never had a tangible experience with (and know that it exists).</p>
<p> <b>Pointer #2:</b> If at some point in your life (due to overwhelming events) you disconnected from your emotions (which by the way most of us do), your sense of knowing (intuition) is greatly diminished or masked.</p>
<p> <b>That is why lots of folks are having a hard time relating to the concept of energy.</b> We don&#8217;t operate in those terms in our lives, on a day-to-day basis. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean energy doesn&#8217;t exist and it doesn&#8217;t affect our lives just because we don&#8217;t believe in it.</p>
<p> <b>Nowadays, it has been scientifically proven at the base of everything is energy.</b> We are energetic beings that vibrate at certain speeds. The sooner you&#8217;ll get this concept, the better off you&#8217;ll be.</p>
<p> <b>Pointer #3:</b> You are in charge of your vibration.</p>
<p> However, if you don&#8217;t know that, aren&#8217;t aware of the energy concept and the practical application of it in your life, you most likely are the victim of your environment and people around you. What do I mean?</p>
<p> <b>Everything you interact with on a day-to-day basis (be it people, things you do, or behavioral patterns you engage in) influences your energy levels and how you function in the world.</b> So how do you recognize an energy drain?</p>
<p> Here are some things to look for:</p>
</p>
<ol>
<li><b>People you talk to or interact with</b> (in person or on the phone), afterwards you feel tired and drained (people who complain a lot, people you look at and don&#8217;t feel right about, people who always just want to talk about themselves and their tragedies, etc.).</li>
<li><b>Places and circumstances that leave you feeling tired</b> (places with a lot of people like subways at rush hour, movie theaters or shopping malls, places where violent things have happened&#8211;like the Twin Towers, etc.).</li>
<li><b>The food you eat&#8211;especially processed foods</b> (those that come prepared in a boxes and cans, pizzas, hamburgers, chips, things you put into the microwave, sugar in any form, eating lots of red meat, and potatoes, overeating, etc.), after you eat them your energy greatly decreases.</li>
<li><b>Doing more than you can handle physically and emotionally,</b> going to extremes.</li>
<li><b>Always taking care of others and not having time for yourself.</b></li>
<li><b>Mostly &#8220;doing&#8221; instead of &#8220;being.&#8221;</b></li>
<li><b>Having unresolved emotional residue from the past</b> (like childhood trauma, things you had a hard time dealing with, etc.). These things create energetic weight you carry around and make it harder to deal with things on a day-to-day basis. Basically you expend twice as much energy.</li>
<li><b>Excessive use of alcohol, coffee, or other substances including medications and recreational drugs.</b> Energetically they create a gunk in your system and put you out of your body, so the more you use them, it becomes increasingly harder to function in life and be present with what&#8217;s going on. They decrease your vibration.</li>
<li><b>EMF (electro magnetic frequency).</b> This is a low vibration frequency that most of us are exposed to on a day-to-day basis from TV, microwave, computers, cell phones, fluorescent lighting, energy plants (nuclear or hydroelectric), airplanes, anything you plug into an electric socket (hairdryers, toasters, etc.).</li>
</ol>
<p> In closing our talk about energy management, let me tell you how a combination of some of these or all of these things can result in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://flickr.com/photos/choruslinea1qms/90863557/"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://health.amuchbetterway.com/wp-content/themes/tma/images/post/toxic390.jpg" border="0" alt"toxic chemicals" title=" Image source: Flickr.com" id="toxic chemicals" /></a>
<p>I&#8217;ve just been to visit my grandma. She&#8217;s ninety two years old and is a remarkable woman. I aspire to be like her but there&#8217;s no doubt in my mind I never will.</p>
<p> I&#8217;m usually an optimist but I know my constitution is not as strong as hers and over the years I&#8217;ve abused my body in a way she never has. </p>
<p> Now don&#8217;t misunderstand here. I&#8217;ve never smoked or taken non prescription drugs. I rarely ever drink; have never had a tattoo and only my ear lobes have been pierced. I&#8217;ve not slept around or had unprotected sex so what makes me so sure I won&#8217;t live to be the same age as my predecessor? </p>
<p>Toxic chemicals and EMF  &#8211; the legacy of progress and the chemical revolution since the 1940&#8242;s.</p>
<p> Since my grandmother was born the world has seen many changes. Advancements have been made in all areas and life is, or should be, so much easier. However, for every positive there is a negative and for every up there is a down.</p>
<p> The down is the pollution which invades our lives both inside and out and the irreversible effects it has on all of us. Our immune systems get weaker with every generation.</p>
<p> Let me explain.</p>
<p> When my grandmother was young, particularly during and after the First and Second World Wars food was very scarce. If you were lucky enough to have food on the table it was fresh, seasonal, full of natural vitamins and minerals and actually tasted the way it was supposed to. </p>
<p> You ate everything that was put on your plate, sitting at a table with the rest of your family. Meals were taken at a set time with no snacks in-between. Eating was a social occasion and if you weren&#8217;t there you went hungry. </p>
<p> People were rarely overweight. They walked or used a bicycle to get where they needed to go.</p>
<p> Fast forward to 2006 where even sitting down to a meal is a rare event. Most people eat snacks sitting at their desks, in the car, bus or train and family meals seem to be reserved for special occasions. Exercise is something to be scheduled in.</p>
<p> Food is mostly frozen, prepacked and microwavable. It contains fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, flavorings and colorings as well as the chemicals which leak from the packaging. </p>
<p> What it rarely contains unless <a href="http://living.amuchbetterway.com/">organic</a> is sufficient vitamins, minerals and nutrients to keep us healthy, and it is now almost mandatory to take an effective daily multi-vitamin supplement.</p>
<p> However, that doesn&#8217;t appear to worry the majority of us. We seem more concerned with the size and appearance of the food rather than the actual taste or nutritional value. No-one considers we now need to eat several oranges to get the same amount of Vitamin C as my grandmother got from just one.</p>
<p> We ship produce thousands of miles around the world using up our natural resources, causing all sorts of pollution and global warming to satisfy our lust for year round availability. Just as our extended Christmas has lost its magic so has the novelty of strawberries and cream for Wimbledon and lettuce in the summer. Nothing is seasonal any more.</p>
<p> Legally our grocery stores have to check their sell by and use by dates but how many of us are conscientious about it at home? While the food may taste okay, who knows what lurks within? Sometimes I think food must have been embalmed rather than preserved as it has such a long expiration date.</p>
<p> Since the 1940&#8242;s and the so called &#8216;Chemical Revolution&#8217; over 100,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced which simply did not exist prior to that date. Worryingly, very few have ever been tested for long term health effects either individually or in combination.</p>
<p> There are over 200 different types of cancer now and scientists agree that 80% of them are caused by harmful toxic synthetic chemicals. </p>
<p> Most of these come from our food but they are all around us and we cannot escape them. Many are in the products we use on our skin so the phrase &#8220;dying to be beautiful&#8221; could be taken quite literally.</p>
<p> My grandmother has never followed the cleanse, tone, moisturize routine, worn makeup, nail polish and perfume, or colored her hair. I, on the other hand have been guilty of all of the above.</p>
<p> Unlike me she&#8217;s never consciously sunbathed or spent hours on sunbeds. Having almost drowned as a toddler she never learned to swim so hasn&#8217;t spent time in chlorine filled swimming pools. Computers, mobile phones and until very recently, microwave ovens, have played no part in her life.</p>
<p> My grandmother never learned to drive and rode her bicycle until she was in her late eighties. I, on the other hand jump into the car and use it far more than I should. </p>
<p> I have a vacuum cleaner and central heating. My grandma is used to a hand brush and until relatively recently, coal fires.</p>
<p> All in all, my life is easy but I wish I could turn back the clock. If I knew then what I know now I think I&#8217;d have more chance of being like my grandmother. As it is, although forty years my senior, her memory is far better than mine.</p>
<p> She is a diabetic and takes medication but has never felt compelled to take vitamins and supplements. She has a home cooked meal every day, using meat and fresh vegetables.</p>
<p> To keep her brain active she does crossword puzzles and word searches and her hands are kept supple with knitting.</p>
<p> I take vitamins and minerals, probiotics and various other supplements every day just so my immune system can cope with the daily barrage of toxic chemicals to which I am unwillingly and often unwittingly being exposed.</p>
<p> I use certified organic skincare and personal products as that&#8217;s the only way to ensure I&#8217;m not absorbing toxins through my skin. I always assumed any product on the supermarket shelf would be safe but apparently not. </p>
<p> Out of the 10,500 plus synthetic chemicals used in the personal and skin care industry only about 11% have ever been assessed. Cosmetic manufacturers can use any ingredient apart from ten prohibited substances in their products and they are not required to undergo approval before they are sold.</p>
<p> That&#8217;s a bit worrying as your skin absorbs 60% of whatever you put on it.</p>
<p> Further, independent research has found that more than one third of personal care products contain at least one ingredient linked to cancer, and 70% of all products contain ingredients that may contain harmful impurities such as known carcinogens.</p>
<p> It seems my great grandfather was wise when he told my grandma if she was meant to have red lips she would have been born with them.</p>
<p> Technology has moved on and I keep my brain active working on the computer. The keyboard keeps my hands supple. However, it&#8217;s taking its toll. </p>
<p> My eyes are deteriorating faster than I wish and I dread the regular trips to the optician as I know they&#8217;ll be expensive. I get little exercise and certainly don&#8217;t feel as well as I should. </p>
<p> Daily I expose myself to radiation and wear a personal bio shield in the hope it will help reduce the harmful effects of EMFs &#8211; the electro magnetic fields around computers, cell phones, electric clocks, fluorescent lights, telephones, answering machines, hair dryers, microwaves and various other common devices.</p>
<p> Even with my best efforts I fear I&#8217;m fighting a losing battle. I can&#8217;t turn back the clock and undo the advances which we all now take for granted, but I know my generation is paying the price of progress.</p>
<p> That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ll never be like my grandma.</p>

Taken from &#8220;My war on electrosmog:Julia Stephensen sets out to clear the airwaves&#8221; May 31, 2007 <a href="http://environment.independent.co.uk/lifestyle/article2600308.ece">www.independent.co.uk</a><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />
</span>
<p style="font-style: italic;">&#8220;When at a loss to explain my new malaise, I visited my naturopath. It may sound unorthodox, but if it works, who cares?</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">She insisted that my exhaustion was caused by electromagnetic &#8220;smog&#8221; in my flat. The problem, she explained, is that our dependence on office and communications equipment (especially mobile phones and the masts needed to power them, as well as microwaves, computers and electrical equipment), exposes us to frequencies that can have a detrimental effect on our wellbeing, especially if we are run-down, or if our immune system is compromised in some way.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">This made sense, as my symptoms had begun soon after installing wireless technology in my sitting room. Wireless (Wi-Fi) technology allows you to access emails and the internet anywhere in your living space. It&#8217;s convenient but I could live without it if meant having more physical energy. So I immediately turned off my wireless network and replaced it with broadband.&#8221;</p>

<p>The topic of electromagnetic pollution is highly charged with many people clinging desperately to the outdated notion that what you can&#8217;t see, can&#8217;t hurt you, especially when comforted by early reports of safety from our own government.  Many people do not need a scientific study to know that they feel dramatically different when far removed from power lines, mobile towers and home wiring.    More importantly when it comes to the safety of yourself and your family is it really so ridiculous to err on the side of caution?</p>
<p>According to Mike Adams of NewsTarget.com,</p>
<p>&#8220;the <a href="http://www.newstarget.com/human_body.html">human body</a> is really a magnificent quantum physics machine. We are made up of literally nothing more than vibrating energy. Humans are made of cells, which are made of atoms, which are made of particles, and those so-called particles are actually just vibrating energy. Every atom is just a probability wave, and most of the stuff we call physical matter is really made up of completely empty space. We are more empty space than physical stuff; more vibration than mass. Thus, we can be strongly impacted &#8212; either positively or negatively &#8212; by vibrational energy.&#8221;</p>
<p>The precending quote came from an article in which Mike was reviewing a machine (VRCR)  that changes the vibrational energy in your home.</p>

<p>By: mcomo</p>
<p>Many of us wake up in the morning being attacked by electromagnetic frequencies<br />
(EMFs) from our clock radio which is usually a short distance from our head. If it’s a real cold night, some may even curl up with their electric blanket for another dose of EMFs. Before leaving the house in the morning we are exposed to more EMFs from blow dryers, electric shavers, electric tooth brushes, coffee makers and microwaves. On our way to work, we might make a few calls on our cell phone. Once we arrive at the office, we flip on the overhead florescent lights, power up the copier, fax machine, computer and talk on the phone throughout the day. When we go back home, we turn on the TV or stereo, stand in the kitchen and cook dinner while surrounded by all electrical appliances and repeat the same thing all over again the next day.</p>
<p>We are <span style="font-style: italic;">constantly</span> being bombarded with electromagnetic frequencies. All electrical devices emit these frequencies. Some experts believe that EMFs are a real threat and can cause or contribute to cancer, brain tumors, leukemia, birth defects, miscarriages, chronic fatigue, poor immunity, heart problems and stress, as well as zap your overall energy.</p>
<p>Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York believes it is likely that up to 30% of childhood cancers come from exposure to EMF. Some scientists believe that over exposure to EMFs are responsible for a high rate of suicide among electric utility workers. Researchers at the University of North Carolina believe that EMFs contribute to the decrease in melatonin levels which in turn can cause sleeplessness, depression and suicide.</p>
<p>Advanced technology is wonderful and most people are not willing to give up modern day conveniences, but there are things that you can do to reduce EMF exposure. You can purchase a devise called a gauss meter and it will help you measure the amount of EMFs being emitted from appliances, electronics, power outlets, etc. When the meter measures something high in EMFs,  the gauge will register in the red zone and beep.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In addition to the long-term health concerns, buying a house with high fields will be an economic disaster. In a few years, when power line radiation is as well known as asbestos and radon, a house with high fields will be practically impossible to sell. Already there are hundreds of lawsuits regarding EMFs and property devaluation.&#8221; <a href="http://www.mercola.com/article/emf/emf_dangers.htm">Mercola.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I took a gauss meter through my whole house and office and did a lot of rearranging to minimize exposure. The most amazing thing I found was that my alarm clock emitted EMFs 5 feet in every direction. I moved it across the room, then I noticed one of my cats was sleeping next to it so I got rid of it altogether and purchased a little battery operated one. It’s the digital display LED type that is high in EMFs. The TV, which I thought would be the worst, only emitted harmful EMFs 3 feet out from the front and 5 feet out from the sides. TV Manufacturers have really improved on this. The refrigerator was another shocker. It was in the (high) red zone 3 feet out from the front and sides. The oven also measured high. I don’t have a microwave, so I went to a friend’s house and my meter measured EMF 5 to 6 feet in every direction when running and 3-4 feet when it was not. All I could think of was all the children standing in front of the microwave oven waiting for their food; day after day. That’s scary. I also wonder what it does to the food. Please keep this in mind when storing nutritional supplements. Keep them away from EMF, for it will reduce their potency. My computer also measured very high for a good 3 feet.</p>
<p>There are many things that can be done to minimize exposure. Try not to stay in the kitchen when appliances are in use, especially the microwave. Keep phones and alarm clocks away from your body while sleeping. Avoid sleeping with an electric blanket. Turn it on to warm the bed and then unplug it. Waterbeds that heat the water with electricity are bad news. Position your computer as far away as possible from where you sit. A flat screen monitor reduces EMF exposure. Change all fluorescent lights to incandescent ones. If using a cell phone, try to keep it as far away from your body as possible. Consider an ear piece to use with your cell phone; otherwise the transmitter is only a few inches from your brain.</p>

Some are placed directly on the electrical device and others are worn on the body. Of these devices, the Q link pendant is my personal favorite and has undergone many studies and has numerous testimonials on its effectiveness in counteracting the ill effects of harmful EMFs.</p>
<p>Have a safe and happy spring and summer…and not to worry, for your gas grill is totally free from EMFs.</p>
<p><span class="blue">&#8220;We are not trying to sensationalize this health problem, we are trying  desperately to wake people up to how big this problem is and what  these radiations are doing to all of us, especially our children, grandchildren, and future generations.&#8221; <a href="http://www.electropollution.org/">Electropollution.org</a></span></p>

Urban</p>
<p><b>A Funny Thing Happened</b><br />
Not long ago, I was riding my bike on a familiar trail near my home. I was deeply engrossed in possible topics for articles downloadable from our <a href="http://www.naturalhealingtools.com/">Natural Healing Tools</a> web site.</p>
<p>The trail is about 20 miles long. Three to four miles of it run under large power lines towering over the path. Suddenly, it hit me &#8211; the topic of my next article. EMF! That buzzing sound overhead was coming from those power lines just above me. No, I couldn&#8217;t see the field of energy emanating from the lines, but I sure could sense that I was passing through an area I wasn&#8217;t comfortable with. Then, I remembered that I usually picked up my pace a little when I reached this stretch of trail, probably out of a sense of self-preservation. </p>
<p>Trying to not overreact, I remember thinking, &#8220;Hey, what you can&#8217;t see won&#8217;t hurt you&#8230;right?&#8221; I thought a little longer, then got the hell out&#8217;a there!</p>
<p>Over the last several years, I&#8217;ve speculated about the numbers of artificial energy sources &#8211; sources of <a href="http://health.amuchbetterway.com/search/label/EMF">EMF, or Electromagnetic Fields</a> &#8211; that fill our environment. I, perhaps like you, question just how safe places like the path under the power lines are, despite overt signs of harm. Here&#8217;s where I come down on the subject of EMF. Just my opinion, but based on a growing body of hard evidence and many hours of in-depth investigation.</p>
<p> <b>A Little About EMF</b><br />
As a kid, I remember learning that our Sun, Earth and other bodies naturally radiate electromagnetic energy of varying frequencies and intensities. Perhaps you&#8217;ve experienced the low electromagnetic frequencies generated by a lightning storm &#8211; you can feel the lightening. </p>
<p>Our sun is a natural source of EMF. We&#8217;re told to use sunscreen to protect us from UV radiation. The Northern Lights are actually solar radiation colliding with the gases in the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. Without the protection of the atmosphere we would be bombarded with harmful, much more intense and potentially fatal radiation.</p>
<p>But these are natural sources of electromagnetic radiation and there&#8217;s only so much we can do about them. What about the new forms of artificially generated radiation? Modern technology has introduced countless new sources of electromagnetic radiation.</p>
<p>Some estimates suggest that humankind today is subjected to 100 to 200 million times more electro-magnetic radiation than our distant ancestors. One hundred to 200 million times more! How can that possibly be good for us? The sources? Those power lines I mentioned earlier, but also computers, TV&#8217;s, radio towers, cell phones and microwave ovens, to name just a few. </p>
<p>One recognized authority on the subject of EMF, Robert O. Becker, states in his book &#8220;Cross Currents&#8221; (pg.188), &#8220;We have now almost reached a state in which the entire electromagnetic spectrum has been filled up with man-made frequencies. Our electric-power systems oscillates (operates) at 50 or 60 times per second (50 &#8211; 60 Hz), just above the highest naturally occurring frequency of 30 Hz. Our microwave beams operate at billions of times per second and are getting even closer to the trillion-cycle frequencies of visible light. We have filled the previously empty electromagnetic spectrum between these two extremes with man-made radiation that never existed before on Earth. And we did it in less than eighty years.&#8221; </p>
<p> <b>Here&#8217;s the problem.</b><br />
We&#8217;re the guinea pigs! In a sense, we have been silently recruited to participate in some ongoing experiment that will impact us long-term in ways we can only imagine. Only through the outspoken concern of people and groups has the issue of what many call &#8220;electropollution&#8221; been brought to the forefront.
<p>According to Becker, there is a growing body of scientific evidence showing that exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields results in significant abnormalities in the physiology and function of living organisms. The potential risks to human health, he says, are well documented. </p>
<p>In his book &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0688069711?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=amuchbetteway-20&amp;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0688069711">The Body Electric</a>&#8221; (pg.327), Becker states, <i>&#8220;Three dangers of EMF overshadow all others. The first has been conclusively proven: ELF, electromagnetic fields vibrating at about 30 to 100 hz, even if they are weaker than the earth&#8217;s field, interfere with the cues that keep our biological cycles properly timed; chronic stress and impaired disease resistance result. Second, the available evidence strongly suggests that regulation of cellular growth processes is impaired by electropollution, increasing cancer rates and producing <a href="http://fertility.amuchbetterway.com">serious reproductive problems</a>. Electromagnetic weapons constitute a third class of hazards culminating in climactic manipulation from a sorcerer&#8217;s-apprentice level of ignorance.&#8221;</i></p>
<p><b>So, what are the implications?</b><br />
Let&#8217;s look at what&#8217;s known. All of those electrical devices with which we surround ourselves &#8211; office machines, computers and other devices that get plugged into a wall socket &#8211; all operate at a frequency of 60Hz. The huge power lines that cover over 500,000 miles across the United States operate at 60Hz. Studies show that these 60 Hz frequencies (ELF, extremely low frequency) have damaging effects on all life forms of life. These frequencies are suspected of contributing to or even causing depression, suicides, psychosis, cancer, leukemia and a number of other physical and mental problems. Scientific evidence also indicate these frequencies can influence our genetic material during cell division, possibly linking chronic exposure to the origins of cancer (Becker, above).</p>
<p>Then there are those devices that operate at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum, like our cell phones. Cell phones use microwaves that oscillate at billions of times per second. What are the long-term effects of using devices that operate at billions of time per second? We simply don&#8217;t know. This is an area that is much less understood. <b>What can we do to protect ourselves?</b> Here&#8217;s what I do and don&#8217;t do. Again, this is what I think and believe based on compelling scientific evidence and hundreds of hours of investigation. Follow your conscience.</p>
<p> * Don&#8217;t position your electric clock radio in close proximity to your head.</p>
<p> * Minimize all electrical devices in your bedroom.</p>
<p> * If you sleep with an electric blanket, turn it on before you get in bed and unplug it when you get in. Never keep it on while sleeping.</p>
<p> * Avoid waterbed heaters.</p>
<p> * Sit at least arms length away from your computer.</p>
<p> * Stay back from appliances when running &#8211; microwave, electric range, all of them.</p>
<p> * The larger your TV screen the further back you should sit (a readily available hand held meter will test EMF and help you determine how far back you should be).</p>
<p> * Stay at least ½ miles away from TV or radio towers.</p>
<p> * Avoid long conversations on cell phones and always wear an earpiece (above 2 minutes has shown alterations in electrical activity of the brain for at least 1 hr. after use.)</p>
<p> * Don&#8217;t wear your cell phone on your belt or in a pocket while it is on (you are still absorbing radiation)</p>
<p> * Use a landline instead of your cell phone whenever possible.</p>
<p> * Limit your time spent under fluorescent lights (they produce much different magnetic fields compared with incandescent bulbs.</p>
<p> * Before you buy a home have it tested for high levels of EMF.</p>
<p> * Consider proper grounding of household wiring.</p>
<p> * Use protective devices that have been tested in areas where there is increased EMF exposure (workplace, home, vehicle). </p>
<p> <b>In the meantime &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</b><br />
We&#8217;re just now beginning to understand how <a href="http://health.amuchbetterway.com/search/label/EMF">electromagnetic fields</a> affect living organisms. More hard knowledge and wider awareness are needed to help us make wise choices and ensure a safe future of the generations to come. We continue to see newer advances in technology that outpace the research being done to warn us of potential dangers. Most people continue to enjoy the comforts of these new technologies but never think about the consequences of using them.
<p>The choice to use or not use these new devices and how often or long to use them is an individual one. I&#8217;m unwilling to let the never-ending new sources of EMF work their way into my home, my car, my clothing and my work area without questioning and limiting my exposure to them. For my money, no exposure and very limited exposure is the way to go. Until there are uniform guidelines based on hard scientific evidence about how much and how long are safe for each type of device, I choose to do without or do with less. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s time we stop letting ourselves be guinea pigs. It&#8217;s time we start insisting that those elected or appointed to protect us do their job. It&#8217;s time to find out what is and isn&#8217;t happening to us after hours, days, weeks, months and years of exposure.</p>
