DESCRIPTION
Do you ever wonder if your cell phone, computer, tablet, and television are making you sick? Everyday we are bombarded with a constant stream of Electromagnetic Forces (EMFs) from our many electronic devices. These EMFs may be invisible, but the potential negative impact on our health is not. This slideshow explores electro-pollution and its effect on your hormones and health. It also provides everyday solutions to help minimize the negative effects from EMFs.

What is a Naturopathic Doctor??
• “It is far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has” – Hippocrates
Electro-pollution
1. Energetic nature of ourselves & the world in which we live
2. Energetic fields interact & influence one another
3. We have the ability to control our interaction with these energetic fields
Where are we going?
#1 The Energetic Nature of the World
Electromagnetic Spectrum
#2 Energetic Fields Interact

How Does Technology Effect Us?
• Creates Oxidative Stress & Free Radicals
(Source: Electomagn Biol Med, 2011)
• Damages Cell Membranes• Affects Cell
Communication• Disrupts Cell Division • Aging, Heart Disease,
Arthritis, Cancer, and most chronic disease
• Decreases:– Melatonin (Source: Indian J Environ Med, 2010)
– TSH (Source: Toxicol Let, 2005)
– Testosterone (Source: Int J Biometeorol, 2013)
– (Serotonin)– (Dopamine)
• Increases:– Cortisol (Source: Clin Biochem, 2012)
– (Estrogen)
Melatonin
• Decreased Melatonin– Poor Sleep– Lower Immune Function– Free Radical Damage– Accelerated Aging– Increased Cancer Risk
Thyroid
• Decreased TSH– Fatigue– Constipation– Weight Gain– Depression– Coldness– Hair Loss
Testosterone
Cortisol
• Increased Cortisol– High Blood Pressure– High Blood Sugar– Low Immune Function– Low Thyroid Function– Increased Abdominal Fat– Poor Sleep– Anxiety
Estrogen
• Increased Estrogen– Weight Gain– PMS– Breast tenderness– Mood changes– Increased risk of Breast cancer and CVD
#3 You are in control
• Minimize Exposure– Take tech breaks– Unplug devices – Maintain distance – Choose “safer” option
• Battery > Wired > Wireless• Incandescent or LED > Halogen > Flourescent• Check SARS rating on cell phone
– Cell Phone• Use speaker, Switch ears, Shorter calls, Dial away from ear,
Avoid weak signal, Turn off wireless
• Tend to Your Energetic Field

Natural Medicine
• Diet– Colorful fruits & veggies– Seaweeds– Mushrooms– Grass-fed Beef– Wild Salmon
Natural Medicine
• Antioxidants– Vit A, C, E– Zinc, Selenium– CoQ10– Glutathione, SOD
• Herbs– Gingko (Source: Sci Total Environ, 2011)
– Ginseng (Source: Biomed Research Int., 2013)
