San Francisco EPA office contains toxic chemicals

EPA logo
The Environmental Protection Agency's mission is to protect human health and the environment, but nearly 100 of its own employees based in the Bay Area believe they're getting sick just by going to work. Employees say the indoor air quality is so bad at the EPA Region 9 Headquarters in San Francisco, they're unable to do their jobs.

The irony is not lost on Taly Jolish, a staff attorney for the EPA and vice president of ASGE Local 1236, one of Region 9's three unions. "It just seems crazy to us that someone would be risking their health by coming into the office to work on cleaning up the environment elsewhere," Jolish said.

Wireless technology has become an integral part of our culture. It has connected us to people and information and has also brought us incredible convenience and economic benefits.

Just think how this technology has expanded in just the eight years since the iPhone was introduced. We have seen ubiquitous WiFi, tablet computers, wireless smart meters, the smart home, wearable tech, and now the Internet of Things. This latest development will connect everything we own to the internet via pulsed microwave radiation.

This may sound like an amazing technological future that will only provide us with benefits. However, what if there is a downside that is just now becoming apparent?

In short, is this exponential rise in microwave radiation affecting our health? And, most importantly, is it affecting children who will be exposed to unprecedented levels of artificial electromagnetic radiation their entire lives?

This is the question I look at in this TEDx talk. I explore the problem and delve deeply into the long-term health consequences and why a growing number of people world-wide are starting to be injured by wireless technology. There are common symptoms that many people now experience when they are near a WiFi router, wireless smart meter, or cell phone tower. They include:
  • Insomnia
  • Headaches
  • Tinnitus/Ringing in the Ears
  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive Disturbance
  • Irritability/Stress
This TEDx talk is not only about the health effects and the science behind this growing problem. I also provide solutions - simple actions you can take right now to reduce your exposure. The five solutions I provide will cost you almost nothing at all, but will provide tremendous benefits.

Propaganda alert: CDC claims 'vaccine sharply reduced HPV in teenage girls'

A vaccine introduced a decade ago to combat the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer has already reduced the virus's prevalence in teenage girls by almost two-thirds, federal researchers said Monday.

Even for women in their early 20s, a group with lower vaccination rates, the most dangerous strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, have still been reduced by more than a third.

"We're seeing the impact of the vaccine as it marches down the line for age groups, and that's incredibly exciting," said Dr. Amy B. Middleman, the chief of adolescent medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, who was not involved in the study. "A minority of females in this country have been immunized, but we're seeing a public health impact that is quite expansive."

Comment: Scientists explain why HPV vaccines are unsafe
There is no evidence that Gardasil or Cervarix can prevent cancer better than a decent screening program. There is strong evidence that they can produce severe and life-threatening harm. This report by 4 scientists documents how science has been corrupted & misused to promote these life-devastating vaccines.

Scientists who have done extensive research on the topics of immunization and autoimmune disorders have produced a new paper concluding that:
"[P]hysicians should remain within the rigorous rules of evidence-based medicine, to adequately assess the risks versus the benefits of HPV vaccination.

Your kitchen pantry is full of toxins

According to a new report, most canned foods on the market contain BPA.

When Nicole DaSilva went back to work three years ago after being a stay-at-home mom to her two kids, she planned to use the additional income to help feed her family better. Part of her motivation was her son Jason, nine, who had demonstrated a few learning impairments and medical issues that she hoped to address with a healthier diet instead of pills. She began reading up on the preservatives and additives in many of the foods we eat—and even the presence of chemicals like bisphenol A, better known as BPA, used in canned food packaging, which is linked to a host of health concerns. What she learned pushed her toward cooking with more fresh ingredients, and as her cooking changed, her shopping habits shifted.

"I had already made other changes and eliminated BPA products in bottles and the like," she said. "I do not avoid many aisles in the grocery store, but I walk straight past any canned goods."

Preclinical study: Stevia kills Lyme disease pathogen better than antibiotics

Tick
Lyme disease is exceedingly difficult to treat, due to its well-known shape-shifting (pleomorphic) abilities, with conventional antibiotics often failing to produce a long-term cure. Could the commonly used natural plant Stevia provide a safer, and more effective means to combat this increasingly prevalent infection?

A promising new preclinical study has revealed that whole stevia leaf extract possesses exceptional antibiotic activity against the exceedingly difficult to treat pathogen Borrelia Burgdorferi known to cause Lyme disease. The study found, "Stevia whole leaf extract, as an individual agent, was effective against all known morphological forms of B. burgdorferi."

At present, the CDC acknowledges that at least 300,000 are infected with Lyme disease, annually, with the conventional standard of care relying on antibiotics that are not only toxic but increasingly coming under scrutiny for addressing only surface aspects of the infection, often leaving antibiotic-resistance Lyme disease deep within the system to continue to cause harm.

Comment: The Health and Wellness Show - A Close Look at Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, or borreliosis, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which can proliferate to every area in your body, is the most common American tick-borne infectious disease. It often goes undiagnosed or becomes misdiagnosed, and is considered a minor acute illness by the mainstream medical system. That becomes a real problem when you consider that in America, up to 300,000 new cases a year of Lyme disease diagnoses have been reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an increase of up to 10 times what researchers previously believed.

Lyme disease sufferers go through a living hell, not recognized for suffering the from the actual disease they have and often being accused of having a psychological disorder or "faking it". Today on the SOTT Talk Radio Health and Wellness show, we take a deep look at this mysterious and devastating disease.

Symptoms of dementia can be reversed with natural therapies

More than 40% of dementia diagnoses have been shown to be wrong. Here's what may really be going on.
Imagine this nightmare. For the last few years your mother has had serious memory problems. She gets lost driving. She repeats the same question to you over and over again. She can't process new information. She loses her train of thought in mid-sentence. A CT scan comes back with a diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease. The doctors offer a prescription with little encouragement it will work.

Do you despair?

A new program from UCLA and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging offers new hope. In the first study of its kind, researchers have proved that natural therapies can not only slow the progress of dementia but can actually reverse it.

Using a mobile phone for even one hour a day can be so damaging to sperm that men may develop difficulties conceiving, fertility experts have warned.

A study by British scientists has found that exposure to mobile phones close to the testicles, or within a foot or two of the body, can 'cook' sperm, dramatically reducing its levels.

Results from the study showed that men who keep their phones in their pocket during the day had reduced sperm levels in 47 percent of cases, as opposed to just 11 percent of the general population.

More than 100 men were analyzed in the study, which found that men not only keep mobile phones close to their groin, but also keep charging phones a few centimeters from their beds.

The study, published in the journal Reproductive BioMedicine, suggests that leaving phones near the bed while sleeping can also pose a threat to sperm counts.

Why you should stop drinking cow's milk

milk

A milk-mustache might not be so cute after all. Turns out your doctor may be wrong about milk.


Let's keep in mind that humans are not designed to drink milk. We are the only animals that continue to drink milk after infancy. What's even weirder is that we drink a different animal's milk. Do we see cats drinking a goat's milk? No. Kittens (and all other animals) only drink their own milk. We've been taught to drink milk because it's healthy. Well, turns out it's not so healthy after all. Here are four reasons why you should stop drinking milk immediately.

Wireless wake-up call: Former Silicon Valley tech expert discusses health risks of wireless technology

jeremy johnson, wireless EMF
Awareness continues to increase surrounding the health dangers of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) emanating from our daily gadgets, as well as from the rise of the Smart Grid. Over the last few years we have witnessed a range of experts declare their concern about the current path we are on.

A prominent neuroscientist has gone on record in a lecture to the medical community itself where he exposed the many health risks as well as an industry-wide attempt by telecom to cover up the negative consequences. A world-renown biochemist has sought to abolish WiFi in schools. And a British ER physician has made it her mission to educate people about what steps they can take to minimize exposure and damage to WiFi. A slew of peer-review scientific studies have supported the warnings of these experts.

It is also becoming clear that it is not a purely anti-tech "Luddite" crowd who distrusts the bill of goods we are being sold by the government and industry about the safety of modern devices. Case in point is the must-see video below - the first ever TEDx talk which has focused on the health risks of wireless technology.

Comment: It's encouraging to see that information on the negative health consequences of wireless technology is being given some mainstream exposure. For years the dangerous biological effects have been concealed from the general public, in order to protect technology industry profits.

Dr. Kenneth P Stoller UCLA pediatrician resigns because 'American Association of Pediatrics knows vaccines cause Autism'

vaccines autism
Dr. Kenneth P Stoller, MD, is a former Pediatrician at UCLA who resigned because he says that the American Academy of Pediatrics KNOWS Vaccines cause autism and tried to hide it.
Dr. Kenneth P Stoller, MD was trained as a pediatrician at UCLA and was a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics for two decades. In 2008 he resigned from the AAP after realizing that the AAP has known that mercury in vaccines can cause Autism and other neurological damage, yet the organization has refused to make a determined effort to have mercury (in thimerosal) removed from all vaccines. And in fact, has instead engaged in a cover-up to protect the interests of the vaccine makers and pharmaceutical empires. Please share far and wide - the public needs to hear this!

Comment: Vaccines and Autism: A New Scientific Review
The article in the Journal of Immunotoxicology is entitled "Theoretical aspects of autism: Causes - A review." The author is Helen Ratajczak, surprisingly herself a former senior scientist at a pharmaceutical firm. Ratajczak did what nobody else apparently has bothered to do: she reviewed the body of published science since autism was first described in 1943. Not just one theory suggested by research such as the role of MMR shots, or the mercury preservative thimerosal; but all of them.

Ratajczak's article states, in part, that "Documented causes of autism include genetic mutations and/or deletions, viral infections, and encephalitis [brain damage] following vaccination [emphasis added]. Therefore, autism is the result of genetic defects and/or inflammation of the brain."
