Is Electricity Making You Sick?

Electromagnetic Pollution
Book Review: Is Electricity Making You Sick?

Zapped-Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn’t Be Your Alarm Clark and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution by Ann Louise Gittleman

A few of the useful facts shared in Zapped:
~Regularly using a laptop on the lap can reduce sperm count by 25%
~Using a corded phone is safer than a cordless phone
~One of the worst places to place a couch or bed is on the wall opposite your refrigerator


A while back I saw a book was being published about electromagnetic pollution and it was by the cutting edge author Ann Louis Gittleman, I made sure I got myself a copy right away.  Gittleman has made a career of nutritional research and has published award winning books on topics such as healthy diet and menopause. When she began to experience symptoms that turned out to be a benign parotid tumor, commonly linked to excessive cell phone use, she turned her attention to electropollution and has published the first full scale book I’ve seen that gives a layman’s overview of the issue combined with solutions to reduce exposure. You've heard of brain waves of course. Well, your entire body is a network of frequencies which have an optimum range. Ions of energy keep your heart pumping for example, we are full of electrical impulses. With  increased exposure to  radio, TV, electronic appliances and all of our modern gadgets, our bodies are now being bombarded with  artificial  frequencies that are actually damaging our cells. Gittleman shares fascinating research showing how electricity and particularly the “dirty electricity” emitted in our homes and work places affects us. 

According to a 2005 press release issued by the World Health Organization, Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), also known as radio wave sickness or electrosensitivity, is a “growing worldwide health concern”. 
Symptoms can include nausea, headaches, heart palpitations, skin rashes, memory difficulties, anxiety, muscle weakness, and depression. It’s been likened to multiple chemical sensitivity due to its cumulative effect over time and the difficulty in procuring a diagnosis.  According to Gittleman may be a factor in  quite a few conditions including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, migraines and Lupus.

The solution is to eliminate sources where you can, and ground the rest. Unplug, switch off your wireless when not needed, move your electronics away from areas you spend time in and learn alternative ways to use your appliances and cell phone. Grounding yourself and reigning in the dirty electricity around you though grounding can not only calm the system but also heal it. Gittleman gives plenty of resources for information, grounding devices and professional assistance.  She also offers lists of foods and a cleansing bath that help heal and protect your system. The baths are particularly recommended after exposure such as after having x-rays or an MRI. If you are interested in these new solutions to promote health, I highly recommend

          Natural  Jersey

    NaturalJersey.com was created in order to have a place on the web where we can all share the great  green & natural health resources in NJ.  I hope you find it a never ending resource when you're looking for health-minded local businesses. 

    Please let me know if you have any ideas to make this site even better!  -  Wendy

    I've been working on this site for a while now and I've come to realize many similar sites require businesses to pay in order to be listed on their site.

    Natural Jersey.com will list any appropriate New Jersey resource for free. Otherwise, how could it be a thorough resource for you?

    Since there are no initial listing fees most of the work is done for free; any donations to enable me to spend more time on the site are appreciated. But wait, you don't need to donate at all. You can support the site in other ways.

    One way is simply to use the site, and tell your friends about it.  Come back often, as I'm constantly adding and updating the information.

    Another important way is to be sure to tell any businesses you visit as a result of seeing them here that you found them on Natural Jersey. 

    Lastly, you can support Natural Jersey by making any purchases you would be doing anyway through the links on the site.  Hey, if you're ordering from Amazon anyway, why not support New Jersey businesses in the process. When you order through these links a small percentage comes back to me. That means I can spend more time publicizing New Jersey's health-minded businesses, they get more business, and we've stimulated the local economy. Yay! It's a win-win.

    I appreciate all the great feedback I've been getting on my efforts. Thank you all for your support! Questions/comments/to be listed e-mail me contact@naturaljersey.com
