I've known of the bad effects from tv's, microwave, and computer screen for years now. It's the radiation. I no longer use microwave and it is a possible cause for cancer. I'm glad you threw your microwave out too. The best thing anyone can do for their health. I use special essential oils when I watch tv or using computer to reflect the radiation rays. I'm not sure those screen works, but I've heard of it.
Other things I'd eliminated or add on recently from my daily routing are:
- using aluminum foil for baking, broiling, wrapping or storing food items
- plastic for wrapping or storing food items
- plastic container for storing food items. I use only glass containers or jars. To help save money from buy them I save the jars or containers of food items I purchase from store.
- At home I only purchase organic meats, vegies, and fruits. It's tough when you're out & about so I tried not eating out so much.
- I only use organic and 100% natural soap, detergent, shampoo, conditioners, etc. Some products claim natural but they are not so you must know how to spot harmful ingredients. A great website for these info is www.drrapp.com
- For clothing I wear 100% cotton, silk or wool. Nothing synthetic touches my body.
- I learned how to cook my food in certain way to prevent losing the natural enzymes in the produce. It takes longer but very good.
- I learn when to eat certain foods such as no more salads for dinner. Salads are to be consume only during daytime.
- I have a juice crusher instead of a juicing machine. The metal tray that juice the fruits create heat when grinding kill most natural enzymes that I need.
- I use only high quality essential oils instead of the less expensive ones. These lower quality probably contains mostly synthetic materials for fragrant so has no health benefit for me.
- I threw out my Circulon pots & pans and only use glassware or high quality stainless steel. The non stick coating in the Circulon or similar products actually comes off the pan and gets in the foods when you cook. This is not healthy. It's like eating aluminum or plastic.
- Molds exist everywhere so I sprinkle Vit C powder in everything I eat to eliminate it. If you have a container of fruit or vegie that have just one piece has mold on it. That actually contaminated others already or it still invisible in our eyes.
- No transfat in my foods. Anything contains Hydrogenated or Partially hydrogenated in their ingredient label I don't buy. This is like eating car's oil engine. Remember Oreo's cookie problem?
- No mineral oil apply to skin which clogged the pores of the body and it can't breath. This is in baby oil! For body oil I use Vit E or jojoba or a high quality massage oil will do.
I'm sure there's a few more that I can't think of right now. It's not easy to change everything at once, but a little everyday is best.
I hope this info contribute to your search, Kam. My health improves not just because I chose only alternative treatments, but also what I put in my body everyday.
Detox and cleanse is what I believe helps me. Podi patch is the most important treatment for me right now because it helps elimiate all kinds of contaminations that's in my body for years and years. I'm continuing my podi patch for as long as I can. That's why I only put it on my Christmas wish list.
