A recent survey by phone maker Motorola revealed that people were so attached to their cell phones that in case of a fire, a majority of cell phone owners would abandon their cats rather than abandon their smartphones!
But then your smartphone has so much to offer. Besides using it for calling and texting, you can surf the Internet, use it as a personal organizer, game console, and take pictures and video with ever-increasing quality.
So is your cell phone really a friend, or is it actually your foe? Well, it turns out there are dangers…
Cell phones emit a form of electromagnetic field called radio frequency (RF) radiation. We have long been led to believe that this radiation is harmless because of the low power levels involved, and because it’s non-ionizing.
Unfortunately, this cell phone radiation has the ability to penetrate our bodies and cause untold damage.
Perhaps the biggest red flag is the WHO classification. In 2011 the WHO finally took a position on the issue and classified cell phone radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen. True, the WHO did only classify cell phone radiation as a possible carcinogen, not a probable carcinogen. But a growing number of experts believe this classification does not sufficiently protect the public. Then there are the thousands of peer-reviewed studies which support this.
Thousands of studies link cell phone radiation to a long list of serious illnesses – including cancer. Cell phone radiation exposure has been principally linked to two types of brain tumors − gliomas and acoustic neuromas.
Gliomas – a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine are typically malignant and they are particularly deadly. Most people survive only 1 to 3 years after diagnosis of this kind of tumor.
Acoustic neuromas – though non-malignant (low-grade cancer), are in many cases life threatening given that they are an intracranial (within the skull) tumor.
The granddaddy of all the studies into the dangers of cell phone radiation is the Interphone Study. At a cost of $25 million, this is the largest study of cell phone use and tumor risk conducted to date. It found that “regular use of a cell phone by adults can significantly increase the risk of gliomas by 40% with 1640 hours or more of use.” This equates to about 30 minutes per day over ten years.
There are now many studies which link cell phone radiation exposures with gliomas and acoustic neuromas. The Hardell Research Group in Sweden are widely regarded as producing some of the highest quality studies on this question. They have found “a consistent pattern of increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma associated with use of wireless phones.”
A 2013 study carried out in the UK on 790,000 middle aged women found that, “women who used cell phones for ten or more years were two-and-a-half times more likely to develop an acoustic neuroma.” Their risk of acoustic neuroma increased with the number of years they used cell phones.
Studies link cell phone radiation exposures to many other cancers, including:
One of the biggest misunderstandings about radiation from cell phones is that it cannot damage DNA. Wrong! There are many studies linking cell phone radiation exposures to different types of DNA damage.
In a landmark study carried out by Professor Lai at the University of Washington in the mid 1990s, it was established that RF radiation exposures can cause DNA single strand breaks. Subsequent studies have found single and double-strand DNA breaks.
Then there are the studies on the micronuclei. A Brazilian study found that mobile phone radiation type exposures “during pregnancy leads to an increase in erythrocytes micronuclei incidence in rat offspring.” Several other studies have found increased rates of micronuclei in the body following exposures to radio frequency (RF) radiation. This is important because micronuclei proliferation indicates a type of DNA damage strongly associated with cancer.
Given the hundreds of studies that have been carried out on this question, clearly there is no doubt that cell phone radiation can alter the genetic material of our cells. This is significant because one way cancer and other diseases are believed to develop is when the DNA in a cell becomes damaged.
In May 2015, 190 scientists from 39 nations submitted an appeal to the United Nations, UN member states, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The scientists requested they adopt more protective exposure guidelines for electromagnetic fields (EMF) and wireless technology in the face of increasing evidence of risk. These exposures are a rapidly growing form of environmental pollution worldwide.
The “International EMF Scientist Appeal” asked the Secretary General and UN affiliated bodies to encourage precautionary measures, to limit EMF exposures, and to educate the public about health risks – particularly to children and pregnant women.
The most effective method of protection from cell phone radiation is complete avoidance. You might not be ready for that, so you can also try practicing these precautionary steps in your daily routine:

Interest in essential oils and their healing ability is at an all-time high. The more we learn about the amazing benefits of essential oils, the more it seems we want to learn. Nature has provided us with a potent array of natural anti-cancer compounds in common citrus fruits. Lime, lemon, orange, grapefruit, and tangerine all possess plenty of healing plant nutrients − and the essential oils derived from the rinds of these fruits are no exception.
Citrus essential oil has been used for centuries for relief from colds and flu. These oils have also been used for cleansing, purification, digestion, skin complaints, disinfecting and so much more.
Ancient healers might not have known it, but modern science confirms that citrus essential oil contains an interesting array of natural phytochemicals (plant-based chemicals) that have anti-cancer properties. Scientists have been studying the phytochemicals found in citrus essential oils for decades.
At first it was thought that the anti-cancer activity of citrus essential oil was mainly due to the high levels of antioxidants they contained. Closer inspection found that it had mainly to do with one special phytochemical found in citrus known as limonene. There are now over 200 research studies on limonene discussing its anti-cancer benefits.
The limonene content in citrus essential oil depends a little upon the growing conditions of the fruit trees and many other factors, but generally speaking, citrus oils contain significant quantities of limonene.
Lemon essential oil: 59-73% limonene
Lime essential oil: 50-60% limonene
Orange essential oil: 85-96% limonene
Tangerine essential oil: 85-93% limonene
Grapefruit essential oil: 88-95% limonene
Other phytochemicals found in citrus essential oils include perillyl alcohol, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, myrcene, and a few other minor constituents. All of these phytochemicals have research indicating they also have potent anti-cancer activity. But by far the most studied phytochemical is limonene.
Citrus essential oils are mechanically cold pressed using the rind of the fruit. Because a good amount of essential oil can be extracted that way, citrus oils are not overly expensive, especially when compared to some other essential oils.
It takes about 1,000 lemons to yield one pound (454 grams) of lemon essential oil. By contrast, it takes around 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilos) of rose petals to yield one pound (454 grams) of rose essential oil. As you can see, citrus yields much more oil by weight than do rose petals, and they are priced accordingly. Rose essential oil is one of the most expensive oils to purchase.
It takes about 75 lemons to make one 15ml bottle of lemon essential oil, so citrus essential oils are extremely condensed and potent.
1. Put a drop or two of lemon, lime, orange, or tangerine essential oil into your favorite juice or sparkling water for an extra wallop of anti-cancer potential and to encourage the elimination of wastes and toxins. The limonene content stimulates white blood cell production, improves the body’s ability to combat infection, and helps to detoxify the liver. Please use only glass containers as essential oils eat plastic and make sure your oils are labeled as therapeutic grade and safe for internal use.
2. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often suffer from mouth ulcers. To speed up the healing process, rub a drop of your favorite citrus essential oil into the affected spot as frequently as you can remember to do it.
3. Feeling stressed or depressed? Just open the cover of your favorite citrus essential oil and breathe it in. Orange in particular helps to balance the emotions, either relaxing or stimulating as needed. Lemon refreshes and brings clarity of thought.
4. Using a purpose built cool mist diffuser, you can diffuse citrus essential oils for mood improvement and clarity of thought. A combination of orange with pine essential oil and cinnamon is wonderfully uplifting.
5. Substitute lemon essential oil for lemon juice or zest to flavor your favorite recipes.
6. Add shelf life to organic fruits and vegetables by filling a bowl or small bucket with cold water, adding 2-3 drops of lemon or orange essential oil and drenching your produce in the water. Rinse and refrigerate them afterwards.
As a breast cancer coach, I teach my clients how to use certain essential oils for health improvement. For instance, to improve breast health I recommend massaging the breasts daily using a combination of a favorite citrus essential oil with either frankincense, lavender, or sandalwood (just to name a few). A few drops of each is usually sufficient.
Citrus essential oils stimulate lymphatic circulation, improve immunity, and the anti-cancer properties of these oils are well documented.
There is plenty of scientific research on citrus essential oils, and especially on limonene. One 1984 study found that rats fed limonene had a 72% reduction in mammary tumors as well as regression of existing mammary tumors − with no toxicity.
A 1994 study (also on rodents), found that limonene helped not only to prevent mammary carcinomas but also had anti-tumor effects.
How much limonene was necessary for the animals to experience tumor regression and prevention? One interesting 1992 study found that a diet containing 7.5% limonene was sufficient for mammary tumors to completely regress.
That’s all very well and good for animals, but does limonene work for humans?
A 2015 study on human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro (in test tubes) found that limonene inhibited the growth of the cancer cells. It also inhibited cellular proliferation (rapid reproduction of a cell). Limonene also promoted apoptosis (programmed cell death cancer cells). Researchers noted that limonene had “cancer specific toxicity.”
A small 2013 study on 43 women with newly-diagnosed breast cancer (all of whom chose surgery) had some interesting results. The women took two grams of limonene per day for two to six weeks prior to surgery. The results indicated that limonene concentrated in breast tissue and reduced cyclin D1 expression in tumors. Cyclin D1 is a protein involved in the life cycle of cells. By reducing its expression, it is thought that this may lead to cell-cycle arrest and reduction in tumor cell growth.
An interesting 2015 study on 40 early-stage breast cancer patients indicated that limonene had a general systemic effect on them. The patients experienced several results, but most notably a decrease in the circulation of adrenal steroid hormones.
Since estrogen is a steroid hormone and tends to have a proliferative effect, reducing circulation of estrogen via natural means could be significant for breast cancer patients. The women also experienced an increase in bile acids, important for aiding absorption of dietary fats, elimination of liver wastes, and reduction in cholesterol levels.
Studies on limonene and citrus essential oils are being released all the time. It is always exciting to discover what other roles citrus essential oil can have in cancer prevention and treatment, so stay tuned!
1. Quality is important! You want to know where your essential oils come from and whether or not the fruit has been sprayed with pesticides. Pesticide residue concentrates in the rind of citrus fruit which, as mentioned above, is where the essential oil comes from. It is best to avoid essential oils from companies that do not tell you how the fruit for their oils is grown. Organic, or at least spray-free, is best.
2. Using citrus essential oil on your skin can make the skin photosensitive − meaning that if the skin treated with citrus oils is then exposed to the UV rays from sunlight, sun lamps, or tanning beds, it can burn more easily or react with a rash. To avoid this, simply shield the skin treated with citrus essential oils from any possible UV rays for at least 6 hours after application.
3. Because grapefruit is known to react with many medications, it is advised to avoid the use of grapefruit essential oil until you’ve checked with your health care practitioner.
General note: When using essential oils to enhance your health, it is always a good idea to do your research and/or work closely with a qualified practitioner.

While dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have made it their mission to convince the world that sun exposure causes cancer, this is all a big lie. Sunlight is not the primary cause of skin cancer. In fact, sunlight actually prevents cancer!
Considerable evidence shows that vitamin D (which is produced from the sun’s rays), is protective of many cancers. This includes the deadliest of skin cancers – melanoma. In addition to melanoma, there are at least 13 other cancers that seem to be positively affected by sunlight. Most notably are breast cancer, colon cancer, and ovarian cancer.
While melanoma accounts for less than 2% of skin cancer cases, it can metastasize to other organs and become very aggressive. It is responsible for the majority of skin cancer deaths. However, researchers have found that that sunlight does not cause melanoma.
Dr. Daniel Coit, surgical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), shared his research on melanoma at a 2012 MSKCC Health Education Seminar. Dr Coit presented some startling evidence and cleared up important myths regarding melanoma.
He surprised the audience when he said that most melanomas are not related to sun exposure, and therefore sunblock or avoiding sun exposure does not prevent melanoma. Dr. Coit explained how melanoma is directly related to family history and called it a disease of gene mutations.
A British review done in 2002 also had some interesting findings. Overall the results provided no clear link between sunscreen use and the prevention of melanoma. While two studies did show a protective effect, three studies showed a negative association. Meaning there was a significant increase in malignant melanoma with sunscreen use.
Dr. David Mitchell, PhD, professor at M.D. Anderson’s department of Carcinogenesis, found via a fish study that UVA does not cause melanoma and is not responsible for the rise in the incidence of melanoma over the past 30 years.
On the contrary, countless studies have shown that sun exposure actually reduces the risk of skin and other cancers.
How does sunlight reduce the risk of cancer? c
Vitamin D increases cell differentiation, suppresses growth signals, reduces cell proliferation, reduces the effect of IGF-1(insulin- like growth factors) on cancer progression, and inhibits angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels in tumors). Therefore, it is more likely that low vitamin D levels account for the rise in skin cancer incidences. In fact, numerous studies show that low vitamin D status may actually contribute to the development of cancers of the skin, breast, colon, ovaries, and others.
Numerous other cancer experts have come to the same conclusion: Sun exposure is not to blame for the increase in skin cancer rates and is actually protective of many cancers. However, sunscreen could be part of the problem.
In the past 50 years, sunscreen use has increased dramatically. According to the CDC (U.S. Center for Disease Control), at least 61% of American adults protect themselves from the sun, and that this reflects a substantial increase over the years. Back in the early 1970s, sales of sunscreen were around $18 million. By some estimates, this has now grown to almost $400 million annually.
Yet, clearly studies do not inclusively support the efficacy of sunscreen to prevent cancer, including melanoma. If you consider the studies mentioned, the occurrence of melanoma (and other cancers) has actually been found to decrease with greater sun exposure, and increased by sunscreens which block the production of vitamin D. If sunscreen really did prevent skin cancer, we would have seen a rapid decline in rates. Instead, incidences of skin cancer have been rising.
This means that the dramatic endorsement for avoiding the sun and slathering on copious amounts of sunscreen may have made millions of dollars for sunscreen producers, but put millions of people at a greater risk for cancer.
In addition to blocking vitamin D production, sunscreen also directly contributes to cancer. When people wear high-protection sunscreen, they tend to stay in the sun too long. By doing so they expose themselves to excessive radiation, and possibly sunburn or sun poisoning.
It is claimed that too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or sunbeds can damage DNA in skin cells. The effects of the sun’s rays advance through the action of the free radicals produced in the skin. If enough DNA damage builds up over time, it can cause cells to start growing out of control, which can lead to skin cancer.
To further explain, sunburn is a painful immune response from UV radiation that creates inflammatory chemicals called cytokines. Through this process, damaged cells are removed and are replaced with healthy cells. While this might sound good, cytokines generate free radicals that can damage DNA, potentially causing mutations that lead to tumor initiation.
Ample evidence supports the involvement of cytokines in events leading to the initiation, promotion, invasion, and metastasis of cancer. Plus, it is not a perfect system. Damaged skin cells that aren’t removed can lead to skin cancer. So there is a clear difference between “getting some sun” and routinely “turning into a lobster.”
And don’t overlook the added cancer risk from chemical sunscreens themselves. Chemicals found in many sunscreens are toxic endocrine disruptors and damage the heart and liver.
Sunscreen soaks into the skin and enters the bloodstream. A single application can last for up to two days, and as it is absorbed through the skin it bypasses the liver for detoxification.
Chemical sunscreens function by absorbing UV light. As a result, they form DNA-damaging free radicals. In a study done by the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, research showed that the reaction between Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC) and sunlight was twice as toxic as the chemical on its own. OMC is present in 90% of sunscreen brands!
A reasonable amount of sun exposure along with a healthy lifestyle can significantly decrease your risk of cancer. It is important to know that nutrient-deficient diets, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and obesity are believed to account for at least 50% of cancer-related deaths, including from melanoma. Genetics is closely linked to the ability to defend against UV damage and skin cancers. While we cannot change the genes we were born with, we can make lifestyle changes that positively affect gene expression.
If you do tend to spend considerable time in the outdoors, consider protective clothing or use of mineral sunscreens. However, the best sunscreen is available in your kitchen.
Consume a diet high in antioxidants such as vitamin C and E and eat plenty of chlorophyll-rich green vegetables. Fresh, raw vegetables and unprocessed foods provide the body with an abundance of powerful antioxidants and nutrients that will help you fight the free radicals and help prevent sunburn.

March is Kidney Cancer Awareness Month. It serves as a necessary reminder to learn the warning signs of the disease as well as the primary kidney cancer causes.
Knowing the symptoms and detecting kidney cancer early can make all the difference in maximizing life expectancy.
Read on to find out if lifestyle factors are putting you or your loved ones at increased risk for this deadly cancer. Understanding the risk factors will hopefully inspire you to change your habits and reduce the likelihood of developing the disease.
Every year more than 115,000 lives are claimed as a result of kidney cancer, and more than 270,000 people worldwide will hear that they have the disease. What causes kidney cancer is poorly understood amongst the medical community, and conventional treatment strategies have dismal outcomes.
However, researchers do know that kidney cancer is a metabolic disease. Genes have the potential to influence the cell’s ability to sense energy, nutrients, and oxygen, and to stimulate new pathways which progresses the disease. Roughly 5 to 8% of individuals have an inherited predisposition linked to several genes known to promote cancerous growth of the kidneys.
For patients with early stage localized cancers of the kidney, the five to ten year survival rate is about 95%. However, for patients with advanced cancer (where the tumor has spread to other organs), nearly 80% will succumb to the disease within two years.
These statistics are too threatening for anyone to ignore the warning signs.
The most common symptoms of kidney cancer that you should look out for include:
Understanding your family’s health history is most important in knowing your inherited risk. Although heredity is out of your control, there are known risk factors which increase your chances of developing one of the many forms of kidney cancer.
While we cannot change the genes we have or even some of the risk factors that contribute to these cancers, we can take preventive measures to reduce the risk of developing the disease.
Smoking may be one of the greatest risk factors for elevating the likelihood of developing kidney cancer. Smoking leads to a 50% increase in risk for males and a 20% higher rate in females. Carbon monoxide exposure to tissue creates a hypoxic environment, or inadequate oxygen supply.
This dilemma has cascading problems including accelerated DNA damage to white blood cells circulating in the blood and increased oxidative stress. Genetic alterations have been found in smokers, likely caused by the exposure to a major component of cigarette smoke − benzo-alpha-pyrene diol epoxide. This chemical is a well-known cause of mutations and carcinogenesis.
Kidney cancer risk is significantly higher in those who are obese. The prevalence of renal cell carcinoma, in particular, has continued to grow annually and is one of the top 10 cancers affecting Americans today. More than 40% of renal cell cancer patients are obese.
Obesity increases risk of kidney cancer because it is associated with an array of adverse health complications such as insulin resistance, hypoxia, metabolic diseases, increased oxidative stress, and increased blood pressure.
Whether or not obesity alone directly impacts one’s risk factor for this cancer despite its umbrella of other factors is not known. Surely obesity correlates strong enough evidence to increase surveillance of the disease.
As with obesity, diabetes is likely a risk factor for kidney cancer despite its indirect relationship to causing the cancer.
There are contradicting results on how food and drink consumption affects the risk for developing kidney cancer. Research has found that common substances found in fried foods and baked goods may likely elevate risk. However, contrary to popular assumptions, some evidence shows that alcohol consumption of slightly more than one alcoholic beverage daily can reduce risk by 28%.
Science provides ample support that a diet rich in vegetables and fruit will lower your risk of developing cancer. A diet rich in antioxidants is one of the best known defense systems against its occurrence.
Do you clean the rugs and carpets in your home with spot cleaners and chemical solvents? You may now think twice before cleaning without the windows open and inhaling the “clean” smelling fumes.
Trichloroethylene is used for industrial machining and refrigerant purposes but can also be detected in a variety of household items such as rug cleaners. This sweet smelling chemical contaminates our air and water.
Trichloroethylene exposure can present with symptoms of nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and confusion. Over time it can contribute to kidney cancer. While studies link several types of cancers to trichlorethylene, the relationship is consistently strongest between this toxin and kidney cancer. Scientists attribute this to specific renal cell mutations found in patients with exposure to trichlorethylene.
Hypertension, as well as the use of antihypertensive drugs and diuretics, will put you at an elevated risk. Those individuals who are both obese and hypertensive have an even higher risk level than those who have only one of these conditions.
Although the mechanisms for this association are unknown, women who give birth at a young age are 40-90% more likely to develop kidney cancer. The more births a woman had, especially at a younger age, the higher her risk.
Leading a sedentary lifestyle puts you at risk for developing kidney cancer. Regular physical activity is associated with lowered body weight and blood pressure, improved insulin management, and a healthier inflammatory response.
You can’t change your sex or the next two risk factors but you should be well aware of your odds against the disease. Men are twice as likely to develop kidney cancer as women.
Kidney cancer is uncommon in people under the age of 45. The average age for diagnosis is 64. People between the ages of 50-70 should be screening for symptoms of the disease.
Clearly genetics plays a major role in the body’s susceptibility to the disease. Numerous factors play a role in the higher cancer rates in Europe and North America as compared to occurrences in Asia and South America. However, individuals of Asian descent living in the United States exhibit the same low rates of kidney cancer as do people in their country of ancestral origin.

A growing form of environmental pollution is engulfing us: electromagnetic radiation from evolving technologies. In this, part one of a two-part article, we explore the relationship between you, technologies in your home, and your health. In Part two, we provide mitigation techniques to reduce radiation so that where you live and sleep add to your health, rather than compromise it.
The article, Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMF), explains that while all electricity creates radiation, all wireless technologies create particularly unhealthy levels of radiation. As we increase wireless technologies into our environment, the radiation effects are additive with ever increasing “layers” of electromagnetic radiation, EMR.
Because EMR induces a stress response in the body, it affects immune function, gene and protein expression and has genotoxic effects. Our body’s ability to resist this “intrusion” depends upon the duration of exposure, the strength and layering effect of EMR, and our body’s “resiliency,” which can be affected by many things, including age, stress, diet, immune system, etc. While radiation exposure can drain our energy levels and vitality, the health effects and associated symptoms can be diverse and much worse.
In addition to the article on EMF, the articles on Smart Meters, Cell Phones and Cars link EMR to adverse health effects on adults, the elderly and children including:
Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children (males and females) under age 20 (leukemia is the first). [2] Children’s brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation as those of adults. [3] And while the brain is not fully developed until about 20 years of age, the younger an individual adopts cell phone use, the more potential lifetime exposure and risk they incur.[4]
Riun Ashlie, Electromagnetic Radiation Assessment Specialist, says that beyond the many wireless devices and appliances in the typical home, by far, the most critical area in the home where electromagnetic sources can influence health is in the bedroom. He goes on to say that our place of rest and sleep is where the body ideally lapses into deep resonant connection with the earth, where the brain and energy levels dramatically slow down, and where recuperative healing processes take place throughout the body.
However, the environment in most typical bedrooms does not support this state. Instead of the nervous system resting (in the parasympathetic state), the nervous system remains stimulated and engaged (in the sympathetic state). This is how EMR can disrupt sleep cycles, weaken immunity, increase stress levels, affect DNA and lead to devastating illnesses like cancer.
Do we have your attention? As you begin to think about the sources of EMR in your home, think broadly:
Next week Riun and I will publish an article on how to manage and mitigate the risk of EMR associated with these household devices, paying particular attention to the bedroom. Our goal is to address some of the factors which may be affecting your ability to feel your best and have optimal vitality.
