How to avoid radiation and still use your cell phone

The health concerns of cell phones have been in the news a lot lately. More and more studies are showing the dangers the phones pose, as they emit microwave radiation right next to your brain. I’ve written about this several times, and mentioned an easy way to protect yourself – with a wired earphone. That keeps the phone itself away from my body, distancing me from the emissions. However, I recently discovered that while this is a great habit, the effectiveness is in large part determined by the kind of earpiece you have.

I have checked out my wired earpiece on several occasions with a Trifield meter. This is a very inexpensive device, which detects electric and magnetic fields. Holding my cell phone close to the meter and placing a call sent the needle screaming. However, when I placed the ear buds next to the meter, I saw no activity even with the phone transmitting. I thought I was safe. But I was missing something.

Wipe out the common cold — even swine flu —
for less than $5

Last week, I told you about the new “superdrug” DRACO, which can reportedly cure the common cold. The drug is still in testing, so we don’t know for sure if it will work. However, there is one treatment that can wipe out your cold. And it can do it for $3-$5.

The surgery breast cancer victims must avoid

Women with breast cancer always fear having the cancer spread to their lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs in your armpit (and elsewhere in your body). They act as filters, removing cancer from lymph fluid before it goes into your bloodstream. If you have cancer in the lymph nodes under your arm, you have an increased risk of the cancer spreading.

As a result, most cancer surgeons conduct radical lymph node dissection – removing the lymph nodes. This lets the surgeon come back and tell the victim “we got it all.” The problem is that the surgery leaves her with painful, disfiguring, and dysfunctional lymphedema. It also increases your risk for infection. But that’s not all. A new study found that this draconian procedure makes no difference in survival or reoccurrence.
