Just the other night, we hosted a Balancing and Releasing Environmental Chemical Stress Workshop and the feedback was incredible. So much so that I decided to aggregate some compelling data that I would like to share with as many people as possible because this information has the chance to help protect you (and your family) against Environmental Stress.

Here is some information that you should save and share with as many people as you can find…

1. For the list of the 'Dirty dozen foods' that have the most pesticides/herbicides used on them, and therefore should only be consumed if organic, go to: http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/

The foods that have the least pesticides/herbicides used on them, and therefore could be consumed with less concern if you cant find organic are also listed as the 'Clean 15'

2. Regarding chemicals in city water: For information on chloramine in general, visit www.chloramine.orgFor information on chloramine in Vermont, visit www.vce.org/chloramine I recently heard about some sort of magnet that claims to clear 99% of chloramine from water. I will let you know when I find out more about it.

3. Although microwave use has become universally accepted as safe in the U; Swiss, German and Russian researchers would disagree. Apparently the technology really hasn't changed much since 1989, so this information is still valid and should be strongly considered before using a microwave.

Dr. Lita Lee of Hawaii reported in the December 9, 1989 Lancet:

"Microwaving baby formulas converted certain trans-amino acids into their synthetic cis-isomers. Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or trans-fatty acids, are not biologically active. Further, one of the amino acids, L-proline, was converted to its d-isomer, which is known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system) and nephrotoxic (poisonous to the kidneys). It's bad enough that many babies are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby formula) made even more toxic via microwaving.“ All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and over all white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes decreased.

Microwave ovens had cancerous effects on the blood.
Every microwave oven leaks electro-magnetic radiation, harms food, and converts substances cooked in it to dangerous organ-toxic and carcinogenic products.
Russian researchers also reported a marked acceleration of structural degradation leading to a decreased food value of 60 to 90% in all foods tested. Among the changes observed were:
a. Deceased bio-availability of vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics factors in all food tested.

b. Various kinds of damage to many plant substances, such as alkaloids, glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides.(carcinogens) c. The degradation of nucleo-proteins in meats.

a. Lymphatic disorders were observed, leading to decreased ability to prevent certain types of cancers.

b. An increased rate of cancer cell formation was observed in the blood.

c. Increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers were observed.

d. Higher rates of digestive disorders and a gradual breakdown of the systems of elimination were observed.

Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens.

1. Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2. The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3. Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4. The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6. The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7. Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.

8. The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9. Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10. Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

And last, but not least,

4. After recently attending the amazing conference with Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation, I wanted to include the link to their website which is filled with incredibly useful information on traditional healthy diets. www.westonapricefoundation.com

I hope you found this information valuable and please share it with anyone you think it will benefit!
