EMF: A Hidden Danger What is EMF? Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) emissions or radiation are created whenever electrical power flows though a wire, conductor or appliance. EMF cannot be seen, felt or heard, but they are present in and around all electrical lines and devices such as mobile phones, computers laptops, tv’s, microwaves, and basically anything which has current. EMF emissions are measured in units called milliGauss (mG). The effects of EMF on the human body have become a highly controversial issue. There is a growing number of reputable scientists who claim EMF can cause cancer, leukaemia in children, depression and even suicide. A most significant study headed by Australian Oncologist Ray Lowenthal was recently (Sept 2007) seen on the ABC National News. The newscast reported “A Tasmanian study shows that children living near high-voltage power lines are more likely to develop cancer. Oncologist Ray Lowenthal led the research, which explores the impact of electric power lines on the development of diseases including lymphoma and leukaemia. The research shows that people who lived within 300 metres of power lines when they were children were more likely to suffer from cancer.”
How does it affect us? The level of awareness over the effects of EMF has increased dramatically over the last few years. It has been suggested that over exposure to this radiation might produce symptoms as such: Headaches, insomnia and depression Various eye diseases Influence people’s wellbeing and biological response Have effect on cognitive functions Affect the immune system Be responsible for leukaemia and brain cancer There are many other studies that support these types of findings. This year, in 2011, the WHO (World Health Authority) formally released a report stating that mobile phones are a danger and can cause brain cancer. Dr. Charlie Tio, a high profile brain surgeon, reported on Channel 7’s Today Tonight on May 10th 2011, that there has been a significant increase in brain tumours in the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain. This is the area next to our ear where we place our phone. He believes this increase is directly due to the use of mobile phones.

What can we do about EMF Levels? The easiest thing is to try to reduce your exposure to the fields. In our technologically advanced world, this is asking for a great deal too much! Living without EMF has almost become i m p o s s i b l e , i t i s a l s o inconceivable. Electricity and electronic products such as kitchen appliances, computers, laptops and mobile phones have become part of our daily lives, even part of the lives of children from the time they are born. They are even part of the equipment of the vehicles we drive. All this wonderful electronic equipment will continue to play a growing role in our lives and in the lives of the generations to come. The invention of electricity was a revolution
for the modern world, and its nature deserves to be understood and respected. Because of the controversial nature and until the full fact of the effects of EMF radiation are completely proven, the best course of action would be to avoid exposure, or at least protect ourselves and our loves ones from its effects. It only makes sense! So what’s the next best thing? Protection!

Coconut Oil AN OIL YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE YOUR HEATLH AND YOUR CLIENTS! By Bronwyn Kennedy Coconuts have fed and nourished worldwide populations by providing a nutritious source of meat, water, milk and oil for centuries. The coconut is highly nutritious and is rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. The coconut palm is so highly valued by the Pacific Islanders, it is called, “The Tree of Life.” Historically coconut oil is one of the earliest oils to be used as a food and as a pharmaceutical. Studies on people who live in tropical climates and who have a diet high in coconut oil are healthier, have less heart disease, cancer, digestive complaints and prostate problems. However, when research about the dangers of saturated fats came out in relation to heart disease in the 1980’s, many people began to assume that coconut oil must be bad. It is true that coconut oil is primarily a saturated fat however, what people don’t understand is that there are many different types of saturated fat and all of them affect the body differently. The type of saturated fat found in coconut oil, a plant source, is different from the type found in animal products. The difference is dramatic and is fully document by years of scientific research. Unlike other fats, coconut oil protects 6
against heart disease, cancer, diabetes and a host of other degenerative illnesses. It supports and strengthens the immune system, thus helping the body ward off attack from infection and disease. It is unique among oils in that it promotes weight loss which has earned it the reputation of being the world’s only low-calorie fat and using coconut oil for all your cooking needs may be one of the healthiest decisions you could ever make.
“Unlike other fats, coconut oil protects against heart disease, cancer, diabetes and a host of other degenerative illnesses” As a Kinesiologist and Health Practitioner it is important to read and research a variety of topics in order to be able to educate your clients, particularly when it comes to food and nutrition. There is a lot of conflicting information on the book stands and on the internet. At the end of the day, the more you are aware of the most updated research, the more you can inform yourself and your clients about their health. One book I highly recommend is Bruce Fife’s, “The Coconut Oil Miracle.” This book discusses the history of coconut oil, the political agendas that gave it a bad name and consequently have caused more disease than health and

how coconut oil ca be used as a food and as a medicine to get back to a natural way of better health. Bruce Fife has done his research and is an expert in his field. When it comes to knowing the good, the bad and the ugly about oils, this book will lead you in the right direction.
