This is an interesting piece about abnormal immune systems in mice from Emory University in USAToday. The researchers noticed that with inflammation and weight issues they saw abnormal intestinal bacteria. Essentially realizing that the unhealthy bacteria made the mice eat more.

The researcher Gewirtz, transferred bacteria from the fat mice directly into the germ-free intestines of normal newborn mice — and those mice began eating more and developed inflammation and insulin problems.

“People are getting obese because they’re eating more, but it suggests the reason they’re eating more may not simply be that calories are cheap and available,” Gewirtz said. “The reason they’re eating more may be an increased appetite resulting from changes in intestinal bacteria.”

There may be a new causal factor involved in high blood sugar – dirty electricity.  If you notice your blood sugar rise when on a treadmill and lower when you walk in nature – you may have a new type of Diabetes, Type 3.  Everyone should try to minimizing their exposure to dirty electricity from computers, wires, treadmills, microwaves, etc.  We are an electric body – and resonance is a well established effect in physics.  It’s easy to deduce detrimental effects  on the body due to prolonged exposure to these electromagnetic fields emitted by appliances.  This is just another reason to avoid the alarm clock plugged in next to your bed.

New York City tap water maintains a high prestige amongst its drinkers. Who hasn’t boasted to a visiting tourist about how good our water is. Well here is some information on what is actually in it.

And yes, the water is flouridated.

It also contains chlorine, orthophosphate, and sodium hydroxide (aka LYE).

Orthophosphate is used as a corrosion inhibitor for the inside of pipes to prevent the leaching of lead into the water. Yikes. I find this unsettling. From the EPA government site:

At very high levels, orthophosphate could cause bone decalcification and increased parathyroid gland activity (due its regulation of the calcium-phosphorus balance in the human body). If you have medical concerns related to additional phosphorus in drinking water, including severe kidney disease or severe calcium regulation dysfunction, consult your physician.

Chlorine in water has been hailed as a savior to many a parasite infested water drinker – and who wouldn’t mind a little chlorine instead of giardia or cryptosporidium. No thank you. But there is a darker side to chlorine – triahalomethanes. Chlorine introduced into the water supply reacts with other naturally-occurring elements to form toxins called trihalomethanes (THMs), which eventually make their way into our bodies. THMs have been linked to a wide range of human health maladies ranging from asthma and eczema to bladder cancer and heart disease.

A simple free remedy to combat this is good old-fashioned patience. Chlorine and related compounds will make their way out of tap water if the container is simply left uncovered in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

From Doctor Mercola:

Cell phones use radio waves to transmit voice data, and the dangers of consistent exposure to information-carrying radio waves have been known since at least 1998. Yet few have been willing to accept the evidence, and the cellular industry has followed in the footsteps of the tobacco industry, vehemently denying any risks.

It’s worth remembering that the telecommunication industry is even BIGGER than Big Pharma, and they have far more influence than the drug companies.

My belief is that this exponential increase in this type of radiation exposure is far more serious a threat than tobacco ever was.

The first major indication that cell phones might be a health hazard came out of a massive, $28 million research project funded by the Cellular Telephone Industry Association (CTIA). To the industry’s surprise and dismay, the results of the study came to the opposite conclusion from the one they were hoping for.

The study’s results included findings of:

A nearly 300 percent increase in the incidence of genetic damage when human blood cells were exposed to radiation in the cellular frequency band

1) A significant increase in cell phone users’ risk of brain tumors at the brain’s outer edge, on whichever side the cell phone was held most often

2) A 60 percent greater chance of acoustic neuromas, a tumor affecting the nerve that controls hearing, among people who had used cell phones for six years or more

3) A higher rate of brain cancer deaths among handheld mobile phone users than among car phone users (car phones are mounted on the dashboard rather than held next to your head)

Prior to this, Alfred Gilman and Martin Rodbell had won the Nobel Prize (1994) for their research showing your body’s cells communicate with each other by subtle low electromagnetic signals. These signals carry all the vital information that are then translated into biochemical and physiological processes.

The following year, researchers discovered that animals exposed to cell phone radiation suffered double-strand DNA breakage – the type of genetic alterations that can lead to cancer, cell death and mutagenic problems.
