How does exposure to low frequency magnetic fields affect babies still in the womb?
Time magazine, August 15, 2011, reports that in the first study of its kind, scientists strapped monitors to pregnant women to measure their exposure to low frequency magnetic fields - those generated by power lines and electricity-using devices like microwave ovens, hair dryers and vacuum cleaners.
The researchers followed up with the women's children over their first 13 years and found that those born to mothers with the highest levels of exposure were three times as likely to have asthma as kids whose moms had the lowest exposure.
This doesn't surprise me. Dr. Myron Wentz, PhD, author of The Healthy Home, warned us in a seminar several years ago, to step away from microwaves when using them. This New York Times best selling book also warns to remove all electrical appliances possible from the head of your bed, including lamps, cell phone chargers, baby monitors, alarm clocks etc. This is especially important for pregnant mothers.
Read page 43 to see the research on the association of childhood cancer, adult melanoma, neurodegenerative disease and miscarriage, to higher exposure to ELF fields.
Dr. Wentz says, "Why expose yourself to a potential risk if you don't have to?" Clear away the electrical devices from the head of your bed and step back from your microwave. Protect yourself and your baby!
Pregnant women can purchase products called The Belly Band and The Belly Blanket, which shield the baby by 99% in the womb from harmful ELF fields. I'm going to buy a stock and give them to young friends who are pregnant. Now, that's a very powerful gift!

#Organic Produce. Do you know the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15?
There is a groundswell towards buying pretty well everything organic. Organic veggies. Organic fruit. Organic clothing. Organic mattresses.
But is it really necessary? For instance, apparently some fruit and veggies are more prone to carry pesticide residue than others.
Richard Burr, co-owner at First Choice Fitness gym in Winnipeg, gave me some great information on the topic, from "need to know" on PBS, by Jackie Pou.
Here's Your "Dirty Dozen" list....when conventionally grown, this list tested positive for at least 47 different chemicals, with some testing positive for as many as 67. Definitely go organic with these:
celery.....peaches....strawberries....apples....domestic blueberries....nectarines....sweet bell peppers....spinach, kale and collard greens....cherries....potatoes....imported grapes....lettuce.
Why are some types of produce more prone to sucking up pesticides than others? Richard Wiles, senior vice president of policy for the Environmental Working Groups says, according to the article, "If you eat something like a pineapple or sweet corn, they have a protection defense because of the outer layer of skin. Not the same for strawberries and berries."
The "Clean 15" bore little to no traces of pesticides and are safe to consumer in non-organic form.
onions....avocados....sweet corn....pineapples....mango....sweet peas....asparagus....kiwi fruit....cabbage....eggplant....cantaloupe....watermelon....grapefruit....sweet potatoes....sweet onions
So, if you just wash all your fruit and vegetables, organic or not, will you eliminate all the chemicals?
The President's Cancer Panel recommends washing conventionally grown product to remove residues. Wiles adds, "You should do what you can do, but the idea you are going to wash pesticides off is a fantasy. But you should still wash it because you will reduce pesticide exposure."
Obviously, we should be taking great care of what we buy and how we look after it. The Healthy Home book by Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz, covers other important food choices in Chapter Seven "For the Love of Food".
