Resonance - Beings of Frequency is surely an eye-opener but in a sense, it's much more than that. Rather than bashing the industry in the usual conspiracy-theory-type style, the film convinces with simple but revealing, and sometimes shocking, facts that haven't been put into context like this very often.

Most importantly, the way the film looks at the historical and evolutionary dimension of a relatively young technology is rather compelling - beginning with the so-called Schumann Resonance. This electromagnetic frequency is not only "the pulse of the Earth" but of life itself and its presence seems to determine the physical and mental well-being of humans, let alone its influence on the very existence of animal species...

Last but not least, there's a spiritual dimension to the subject the film alludes to but unfortunately doesn't explore further. There's a direct correlation between the Schumann Resonance and a specific frequency of the human brain - the Alpha waves - so it's more than likely artificial frequencies would also affect our ways of thinking and dreaming and this, beyond all medical risks, might turn out to have even more alarming repercussions as it concerns consciousness itself.

Can using a cell phone cause cancer? There is no scientific evidence that provides a definite answer to that question. Some organizations recommend caution in cell phone use. More research is needed before we know if using cell phones causes health effects.

Prescription drugs are now killing far more people than illegal drugs, and while most major causes of preventable deaths are declining, those from prescription drug use are increasing, an analysis of recently released data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by theLos Angeles Times revealed.

The Times analysis of 2009 death statistics, the most recent available, showed:

• For the first time ever in the US, more people were killed by drugs than motor vehicle accidents
• 37,485 people died from drugs, a rate fueled by overdoses on prescription pain and anxiety medications, versus 36,284 from traffic accidents
• Drug fatalities more than doubled among teens and young adults between 2000 and 2008, and more than tripled among people aged 50 to 69

Again, these drug-induced fatalities are not being driven by illegal street drugs; the analysis found that the most commonly abused prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma now cause more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.
