Although the FDA takes a neutral position on cell phone radiation our government has known of problems for some time. During the Cold War the American Embassy in Moscow was "micro-waved" by the Russian Embassy. The American ambassador became ill and was soon diagnosed with leukemia. His replacement also became ill and was diagnosed with leukemia. Embassy staff members became ill. After an investigation it was learned that low level frequencies, similar to cell phone radiation, were responsible. Furthermore, after extensive study the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency warned all of its personnel of risks from low-level radiation. (Just FYI, microwave radiation and cell phone radiation is basically the same thing.)
Dr. George Carlo, the lead scientist for the largest research study ever conducted on cell phone radiation, recently made the following statement:
"When you put all the science together, we come to the irrefutable conclusion that there's a major health crisis coming, probably already underway. Not just cancer, but also learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and psychological and behavioral problems--all mediated by the same mechanism. That's why we're so worried. Time is running out. When you put the pieces of the puzzle together, it's such a wide-ranging problem. It's unlike anything we've ever seen before."

Radiation therapy is a simple, painless, and generally well-tolerated tool for treating and even curing breast cancer. One of the most common side effects of radiation therapy to the breast (after a lumpectomy) or to the chest wall (after a mastectomy) is skin irritation. The reaction and its extent differ for every woman. Because radiation therapy is often such an important part of breast cancer treatment, it is important to know how to mitigate its side effects in order to gain the greatest benefit from the therapy.
Coping with Skin Irritation
Radiation-induced skin reactions are more likely to occur in people who received chemotherapy shortly before or during radiation therapy and in women who have a prominent fold under the crease of the breast. In fact, this area and the underarm are the most common areas of the breast to sustain a skin reaction. Most skin reactions resolve within a few weeks of completing radiation therapy.
Skin reactions are almost inevitable for women receiving radiation to the chest wall after a mastectomy. As a result, many radiation oncology facilities give such women a one-week prophylactic break halfway through the course of treatment, to reduce the severity of skin reactions.

We are all exposed to environmental pollutants on a daily basis. Some examples include agriculture chemical contaminants; exposure to detergents; gasoline and solvents; pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides; food additives and the list goes on. How does this affect your health? The human body has an amazing ability to cleanse and detoxify itself. However when pollutants build up in our system, our bodies become overloaded and inefficient at cleaning out the bad stuff. This, in turn, results in a clogged system that eventually leads to more chronic and degenerative diseases, such as digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, asthma, and even cancer.
Our body's primary purpose is to ensure our survival, so one of the key functions of the body is to filter toxins before they threaten our health. If our organs and body systems become incapable of clearing out unwanted substances, due to toxic overload from our environment, then many toxins remain stored, accumulate in our tissues, and inevitably cause serious harm to our well-being. Ultimately, our bodies dispose of toxins through the liver, kidneys, colon, lymph, lungs, and skin. Of which, the liver, colon, and kidneys are the key elimination organs.
