EMR Protection
I have been concerned about electromagnetic radiation for some time, long before the cell towers and cordless phones invaded our lives. I live in an old house with unshielded wiring. I have been using MRET technology and tubular cell phone headsets to shield my family and clients.
I love these programs which let you use your dreams consciously, develop your insight and improve your focus, all with tones that entrain you and no words.
This is a very funny and informative video on Vitamin D, with images that will stick with you. (I especially liked his publication strategy to get new patients.)
Infant chimps, which we have already seen need similar Vitamin D to humans can take 5000 iu per day.
Collagen without sufficient Vitamin D is like putting Jello in water- it gets softer and can’t support the bones.
Iguana owners have a better idea of Vitamin D needs than most doctors. (And the pictures of Vitamin D deficient iguanas will stick with you.)
Vitamin D is responsible for regulating the blood pressure hormone rennin, and for combating elevated levels of C-reactive protein in your body.
Malignant melanoma usually appears in areas without exposure to sun, and working out of doors lowers your malignant melanoma rate.
Squamous cell skin cancer is the only cancer that occurs more in sunbathers, the ones that will kill you are lower.
Vitamin D toxicity occurred in a Florida lawyer who was taking 1 million iu of Vitamin D for two years due to a manufacturing accident. When they gave him a diuretic and kept him out of the sun for a month, it reversed.
While tanning bed enthusiasts get more cancer, they also have higher bone density.
