WELCOME MESSAGE

“On the evening of the [herbicide] spraying the campus was bound in, as if in a heavy fog, with one of the eeriest silences I have ever heard, I didn’t hear a bird sing for three days.” – Anne Berthold-Bond, Environmentalist, and Author.

he world has been watching the developments of Japan since it was hit by the terrible catastrophes in March. We at EternityWatch planned the theme this issue on detoxification since Fall of 2010. When this nuclear event took place in Japan in March I personally wondered what was going on here. It seems that the timing of this April issue precisely aligned to bring the knowledge of detox to our readers and the world within a month of the Japan event. This tells me more than ever that the work we do here at EternityWatch magazine and my personal site Eating4Eternity.org serves a purpose for those whose lives we touch. It is important more than ever to be vigilant where your health and wellness are concerned. We can no longer afford to be passive in a world that is increasing complex and toxic. Complacency in such a world is inviting toxic overload, radiation poisoning, toxic people, and all other manner of toxins into your life. In the quote Anne speaks about the moment that led her to take the higher path in life. Numerous birds would chirp every evening on the campus but for three days there was no sound. The birds had all flown away because of the herbicide spraying on the campus to kill dandelions. Chemical poisoning to get rid of a wonderful wild edible like the dandelion is not right. Anne’s personal awakening altered her destiny. Your awakening may be out there coming towards you. Wake up and know that the earth is ours

to care for and it will care for us. Pollute the earth and harm it and we ultimately harm ourselves. This month we will take a look at the idea of toxicity and detox. Our knowledgeable contributors have an excellent issue lined up for you. They weigh in on the issues from various viewpoints. This issue we look at negative beliefs and how they hinder healing and worst manifest illness or death. We look at using the skin to remove toxins and detoxify. We weigh in on toxic people around us. We even cover electromagnetic radiation and more. You’re heard me say before how excited I get by reading each magazine but WOW, this one is excellent. The information provided here should be a part of your personal resource library. What I really love about our monthly issues is that we take one topic and really look at it from different perspectives. This approach, I believe, gives you and our other readers a broader and deeper understanding of the theme for that month. Each issue is a mini education just for you! Sign up for your subscription if you haven’t done so yet. The rates are quite reasonable and your financial support allows us to continue to bring you this great magazine. Invite your friends to join as well. We’d love to hear from you. Send your feedback to editor@eating4eternity.org. Enjoy the magazine! Peace and be well.

I Know You Can’t Tell Me Its Safe
About thirty years ago, 1983 to be exact, my wife and I were looking at purchasing a new home in Thornhill. We liked the house but as I looked out the front door I couldn’t help but notice the hydro power lines about 275 metres away. There is an increasing awareness of the dangers of dirty electricity. This article will give you a brief overview of the key issues important to your health.
Alkalize To Maximize Your Detox Our lives are filled with so many things which contribute to our overall ill health that it almost seems that good health is only a dream. Perhaps for 85% of the population that is true. For them, good health will be only a dream that they cannot achieve. This article will help you gain an understanding of the linkage of acidity to ill health and provide some practical tips to alkalize to maximize your detox.
Effortless Healing We have all been burdened with the idea that it is difficult, if not impossible, to recover from a disease. Multitudes of systems have been created in healthcare that gives the impression that illness is monstrously difficult to overcome. Many of the treatments utilized in the correction of illness are vigorously harsh and significantly devastating to one's overall health. This article will explore the transformative shift necessary to remove the toxicity of disease and create effortless healing. 4

There are many ways we detoxify – consciously and intentionally eliminating various poisons that harm us. We improve our diets, eliminating foods and drinks that work against us. We eliminate our habits of using intoxicating substances, and give up our cigarettes, drugs and alcohol. We scour our homes, getting rid of dust mites and toxic cleaning chemicals. But isn’t there more? This article will explore the higher aspect of detoxification and provide you with a valuable method to help detoxify.
SUBSCRIPTIONS EternityWatch is intended for anyone who is conscious about healthy living and an abundant life. To subscribe go to www.eating4eternity.org/blog
Sweating To Detox Your Body I’m not an expert of detoxification. I think that’s up to the doctors and nurses. I am however an expert in my military training. And boy do I know about sweating. When we do rucksack marches, sometimes we can be carrying 50 lbs on our backs and we’re usually doing a long march. You sweat a lot during these drills and you drink a lot of water. I can go through 3 Litres in a day easily. This article will provide an amazing insight into how effective sweating can be in your detoxification efforts. Volume 2 Issue 4 |

I Know You Can’t Tell Me It’s Safe By Dr. Howard W. Fisher
A
bout thirty years ago, 1983 to be exact, my wife and I were looking at purchasing a new home in Thornhill. We liked the house but as I looked out the front door I couldn’t help but notice the hydro power lines about 275 metres away. I had remembered reading an article by an epidemiologist Dr. 8
Nancy Wertheimer and her coauthor physicist, Dr. Ed Leeper.i This paper examined the relationship between high voltage power lines, transformer boxes and the incidence of childhood leukemia and brain cancer. The conclusion was that there was a doubling of the incidence of these two diseases within 141 feet of either of these entities.
The threshold now considered to be able to bring about these results is a constant electromagnetic field above 2 mG (milliGauss)ii. To put this into perspective, your clock radio that is probably less than three feet away from your head, gives off a electromagnetic field of approximately 10 mG and your hairdryer up to 500 mG.

Ontario Hydro to come out with their Gauss Meter and check the field emanating from this line. They responded promptly and when we went out and stood under the line, the meter read 1100 mG. Wow! We started walking and about twenty-five paces away from the line the reading dropped to 1.1 mG. It was 1.1 mG everywhere I checked which included at least a kilometer in every direction. Apparently EMFs are everywhere. In the last year, the world-wide media has been filled with seeking the conclusive dose-response relationship linking electromagnetic radiation and cell phone use to a number of diseases and my book ‘The Invisible Threat’ has gone through the third printing. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is unavoidable and certainly there is an established relationship between, cancer, leukemia, hormonal dysfunction, miscarriage and a plethora of negative effects on the central nervous system, the immune system and right down to the cellular membrane.iii, iv, v, vi, vii EMR initially affects neurological tissue and the largest collection of this tissue is the brain, with the spinal cord being second, both significant parts of the body that we rely on. Consider the fact that EMR has been documented to affect neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).viii, ix, x. Enter the most likely omnipresent contributing factor: cell phones and wireless technology. Dr. Devra Davis’ newly released book, “Disconnect,’ also exposes the industry cover-up about the discrediting of reputable science as well as the real 10
threat.xi It is well documented that cell phones, introduced as a three pound ‘brick’ in 1983, which emit electromagnetic fields, in conjunction with the carrier waves and the actual information transmitted, can cause genetic damage, aberrant brain wave activity and even changes to cerebral blood flow including altering the permeability of the blood brain barrier. As a matter of fact the work of Professors, Dr. Henry Lai (University of Washington) and Dr. Martin Blank (Columbia University), have both shown EMR to damage DNA.xii, xiii Since those initial findings, the association and dose-relationships between cell phones and disease place cell phone users into a high risk health group.xiv Cell phone usage can cause DNA damage, headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, fatigue, short term memory loss, neuralgias, tumors, and sleep disturbances to name a few. xv, xvi, xvii, xviii,xix,xx,xxi. Dr. V. Khurana, a neurosurgeon from Australia published the findings of his study in February 2008 on the alarming increase in the number of brain tumours due to the increasing electromagnetic radiation in our environment, which he proposed are primarily due to cell phone usage

although he added that all wireless radio frequency radiation had a contributing factor.xxii He stated adamantly, “The link between cell phones and brain cancer can no longer be considered to be a myth.xxiii The bottom line is this: Electromagnetic radiation from all sources is bio-accumulating and we really don’t know the total impact it will have over the long term. If we believe those researchers such as engineer Dr. Lloyd Morgan, cell phone users may be facing the same etiology as cigarette smokers: 10% will succumb to some aspect of radiations effects. Dr. Charles Teo, an Australian neurosurgeon, states that when we radiate tissue in order to eradicate a tumour, there is a likely chance that we will cause one… ten years later. There are some interventions that we can employ to decrease the impact and those of us who are prudent will adopt these actions. I know you can’t tell me that electromagnetic radiation is safe, but can you tell me that it isn’t dangerous. ______________________________ Wertheimer N, Leeper E.

They Said That Most of us can only imagine what would happen if we were suddenly cast into a desperate struggle for life. In this situation, reality quickly changes from all that we had considered normal to a strange new world filled with fearful and threatening circumstances...But in a survival situation, our emotional and psychological limitations can be more critical than our physical shortcomings.
