Cell Phone Dangers & EMFs

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

I have been doing A LOT of research into cell phones and EMFs emitted off of them (amongst other items we are exposed to). Radio waves coming from these devices trigger responses that lead to
effects ranging from anxiety disorders, learning problems and electrosensitivity to immunological deficiencies and cancer. I have looked into a few different things and found out about a couple of products which are available to disburse EMFs away from ours or our childrens’ heads. Although children really shouldn’t use cell phones unless for emergencies anyway! Their skulls are not quite solid to protect them from these external effects.

You think you are helping your children…

Monday, April 7th, 2008

My 3 month old son has had a cold/cough for nearly a month and has been through one round of antibiotics. Plus, I have been giving him probiotics (which I highly recommend anyway). Well, since the cough is still there, I contacted the holistic doctor he had seen a month ago and she [...]

Artificial Sweeteners & Kids

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

This issue has been bothering me for some time and I don’t want to stir up any major debates or anything, but I figure we want to make sure our kids are healthy and will live long, healthy lives. What we do to our bodies is one thing, but we really need to watch what [...]
