 Food marketing to children now extends beyond television and is widely prevalent on the Internet [209]; it is expanding rapidly into a ubiquitous digital media culture of new techniques including cell phones, instant messaging, video games, and three-dimensional virtual worlds, often under the radar of parents [210]. |

 From global power grids and satellites to cell phones and the early-warning defense systems that protect North America, all were dependent upon date codes that were set to "expire" at midnight on the last day of the year 1999. For each system that would be affected, a small program was made available to users that would allow for a smooth transition from dates that began with the "19" of the 1900s to those that began with the "20" of the 2000s葉he Y2K patch. As they say, the rest is history. |

 Let's rediscover the unity in community
In the twenty-first century預n age in which we are increasingly connected by cell phones, e-mail, and instant messaging, but paradoxically drawn further apart by quick and impersonal exchange葉here is a great need to reengage with our communities to overcome the isolating effect such technology has had on all of us. Investing time in your community not only builds your cognitive reserve, it also builds social capital that benefits us all.
Health care will also find a more fruitful future by reembracing the myriad benefits of community. |
| Whether that means occasionally forgetting dates, misplacing keys and cell phones, losing words and names on the tip of your tongue, or storming around outside someone else's hotel door in Osaka like a modern-day Godzilla, we can expect that these events will become more common as our bodies and minds age.
Although occasional memory slippage may be a normal consequence of getting older, when memory problems begin to interfere with your day-today activities there is a fine line between casually dismissing slippages and needing to seek a doctor's help. |

 Janice spent her workdays surrounded by electronic equipment such as computers, cell phones, and fax machines, all of them generating electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Her symptoms and a complete medical evaluation pointed to chronic overexposure to electromagnetic fields. Janice was given two protective devices to use at work. The first was a screen that Janice placed over her computer monitor, designed to shield her from some of the electromagnetic fields generated by the monitor. |

 In the US, our electricity is delivered at a frequency of 60 hertz or cycles per second; in the UK, it is 50 hertz. cell phones operate on 900 or 1800 megahertz.
When physicists use the term 'phase', they mean the point the wave is at on its oscillating journey. Two waves are said to be in phase when they are both, in effect, peaking or troughing at the same time, even if they have different frequencies or amplitudes. Getting 'in phase' is getting in synch.
One of the most important aspects of waves is that they are encoders and carriers of information. |

| The reason is proximity: Most people do not live close enough to power lines to be greatly affected by their EMFs, but the situation is different with kitchen appliances, computers, cell phones, televisions, even electrical outlets if they're located behind the head of a bed. Although the EMFs from appliances drop off rapidly with distance and are usually at minimal levels at a distance of 4 to 8 feet. However, people often stand or sit closer than this to the source of EMFs葉ypically 18 inches from computers, a few feet from televisions, and almost no distance at all from cellular phones. |

 The Basel Action Network, a Seattle-based non-governemental organization, sent investigators around the world and determined that at least 50 percent of the used cell phones, computers, televisions, and other e-waste that is collected for recycling in the United States is shipped overseas to scrap yards in places like Taiwan, the
Philippines, Nigeria, and China, where oversight has been minimal, at best. |

 Samsung produces DVD recorders, cell phones, TVs, and many other high-tech products. The Samsung semiconductor plant in Austin, Texas, ranks in the top 30 percent for lowest total environmental releases and had no harmful releases of carcinogens, neurotoxins, blood toxicants, or other harmful chemicals.68 Another Samsung technology breakthrough is use of U-shaped cold-cathode fluorescent lamps to lower their mercury content. Samsung Electronics began to switch over from straight tubes to U-shaped tubes as the backlight in its LCD module for 2 3-inch televisions in January 2004. |
| LG Electronics is quickly emerging on the scene as a major manufacturer of home appliances and electronics, including air conditioners and cell phones. Although LG Electronics, based in Korea, doesn't have manufacturing plants in the United States and I could not use the information at Score-card.org, the company has earned Korean ECO Label accreditation for its air cleaners and power-saving computers, among other products. |
| Since to varying degrees we all use appliances from washers and refrigerators to microwave ovens, as well as high-tech electronics gear like laptops, cell phones, and digital music players, it pays to know more about the companies manufacturing these products and from whom we are purchasing them if we want to extend our good acts into the world at large. Most of these companies manufacture throughout the world so our shopping dollars have a lot of power to prevent or foster destruction.
Let me tell you what I've learned about many of our most popular brands of kitchen and high-tech appliances. |
| To the charger we connect our wired world and convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) to power cell phones, laptops, answering machines, and tons of other appliances. But many people leave charger and converter black boxes plugged into the wall all of the time. Then there are the many chargers hidden within computers and other appliances. One estimate is that 3.1 billion charging boxes are in the United States, and 400 to 500 million more are sold every year.
These black-box vampires use only one-quarter of the energy they draw. |
| Every house is full of little plastic power supplies to charge cell phones, digital cameras, cordless tools, and other personal gadgets. Keep rhem unplugged until you need them.
?Use power strips to switch off televisions, home theater equipment, and srereos when you're nor using them. Even when you think these producrs are off, together their "standby" consumption can be equivalent to that of a 75- or 100-watt lightbulb running continuously.
?Enable the "sleep mode" feature on your compurer, allowing it to use less power during periods of inactivity.

 For example, it is difficult to sort out one type of close exposure (for example, cell phones or computers) from another distant source (power lines).
A vigorous scientific debate exists as to whether there is or isn't a health risk from EMFs. [J Experimental Clinical Cancer Research 23:353-64, 2004]. Some investigations yield positive findings, others negative findings. [Bioelectromag-netics. 6: S74-100, 2003] One report says electromagnetic field exposure could hypothetically contribute to tamoxifen drug resistance observed in breast cancer after long-term treatment. |

James U. McNeal, an expert on the marketing of all types of products to children, explained in his 1999 book The Kids Market that companies had learned to give away toys and other fun prizes because play is a child's number one need. At the same time, children like those who give them things and are fondest of the biggest givers.

 Kids are also targeted on the Internet, on school buses, in classrooms and cafeterias, at the movies, on DVDs, and even via cell phones.
The insistency, consistency, and almost urgency of all this marketing seems unstoppable, as the CCFC points out.
Just about every major media program for kids has a line of licensed merchandise that sells breakfast cereals, snacks, candy, and fast food.
ｻ Many toys are really junk food ads in disguise. Take, for example, Coca-Cola Barbie and McDonald's Play-Doh. |

 Despite reams of studies, we are left with contradictory guidelines about the safety of cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, and other electronics that emit low-level electromagnetic or magnetic fields. We know even less about how the huge fields of energy that encompass Earth affect us. For example, we are only now beginning to explore how the electromagnetic fields that fill the ionosphere impact us. |

 NOXIOUS ENERGY FIELDS
Most of us are somewhat aware that electronic equipment like television sets, computers, microwave ovens, heating pads, electric blankets, cell phones, electric razors, and high tension power lines give off radiation or electrical waves that may be harmful. But do we really understand the health implications of electromagnetic radiation? Knowledge of noxious energy fields emanating from certain earth locations is just beginning to be understood. We have man-made electromagnetic force fields (emf), as well as natural ones from the earth, known as geopathic forces. |

 We check our cell phones and BlackBerries constantly; scour the Internet at all hours of the day and night; and bring office work home with us so that after dinner we can keep right on working in an effort to "stay on top" and "ahead of the other guy." Fitting in leisure time extends a day even further into the evening, and TiVo allows us to watch favorite TV programs anytime we want, often late at night. |

| Members of Parliament hustled past, harried aides bustled alongside with cell phones glued to their ears, television cameras caught interviews on the fly; the multigenerational tableau served as a jarring reminder of how quickly the robustness of health can turn into its opposite. From each intravenous stand dangled a plasma bag filled with the blood from their bodies. Or it was meant to look like blood anyway. The World Wildlife Fund had chosen to test three generations because, according to the group's bio-monitoring coordinator, Karl Wagner, "there's nothing more powerful than the family. |
| So, for example, cathode-ray television sets are given a number 7, and cell phones a 20, for the number of years they can be used before springing a toxic leak.
In its original version in 2005, the Chinese used the phrase "environmentally safe" to define the acceptable use period. But lobbyists from the American Electronics Association, which opened up a lobbying arm in Beijing that year, succeeded in convincing the Chinese to switch to the less loaded EPUP. "Having the word 'safe' implies a condition that could be its opposite," an electronics industry consultant told me. |

Calories and Calories from Fat
The number of calories refers to one serving size that, again, may be unrealistically small. For example, a two-quart (64-ounce) Coca-Cola Classic defines one serving as 8 ounces, which provides 100 calories and 27 grams of sugars. Eight ounces, however, is less than the amount in a can of Coca-Cola. If you have two 8-ounce glasses, you double the calories to 200 and the sugars to 54 grams. |
| Cooking should be considered family time預nd a good time to turn off the television and put away cell phones and MP3 players. Relish both the serenity and the activity that make a kitchen a fun place.
Decide What You're Going to Cook
Cooking requires some advance planning. It's not like a fast-food drive-thru where your meal materializes in sixty seconds.
The first step is deciding what you will prepare. If you're at a loss for ideas, look through the recipes in this book, in cookbooks or food magazines, or on the Internet. |

 At least once a week, while walking across a parking lot or through a store, I inadvertently startle people who are busy talking on their cell phones. They're so absorbed in their phone conversations that they are not aware of other people or vehicles and are extremely vulnerable to being mugged or hit by cars. They are not being mindful or in the moment.
Train yourself to focus. With all the distractions in our lives, as well as with the pressure to multitask, it's often difficult to stay in the present. |

 Everyday technologies, such as cell phones and computers, all come with a cost to the human body. When our immune system is weakened, then EMF is even more damaging at the cellular level.
RECOMMENDATIONS
ｦ Avoid ear piece units unless you have a radiation blocker attached. The ear pieces have been shown to concentrate radiation into the soft tissue via the ear. The Biopro Cell Chip neutralizes EMF's on cell phones and is available at www.internalbalance.com.
ｦ Use a speaker phone whenever possible (apologize for voice quality first). |

 Our electromagnetic fields are scrambled by the constant bombardment of waves from all directions: cell phones, microwaves, TV, electric lines, computers, and the alternating current in our houses, just to mention a few. Our senses are dulled by the smell of exhaust fumes or pesticides sprayed on lawns, the sound of the constant drone of traffic or Muzak in the grocery store, the feel of concrete under our feet or the touch of synthetic clothing on our skin, the sight of skyscrapers or identical houses all in a row, and the taste of chlorine in our water or the old grease of fast food. |

 These toxins could include aluminum used in underarm an-tiperspirants, as well as herbicides, pesticides, and various chemicals used in our food production; cell phones and laptop computers also could be a cause. No one knows or is exactly sure what the cause of breast cancer is. However, if a person were doing the things in Chapter 6, it is my firm belief that the likelihood of you coming down with breast cancer is virtually nil.
One potential way to prevent or reverse cancer is reduction of stress. There are many theories of why stress-reducing techniques reverse cancer. |
