Digital Devices Endanger Children!

I've written about the problem as a medical/mental health journalist. You need to know how to be protective of your health and that of youngsters too naive or too lacking in self-control when it comes to digital device usage. Too much of it endangers health, especially that of developing brains!

A Dark Consensus About Screens and Kids Begins to Emerge in…

I've long known about digital dangers. The Global Resources section of the FIRST EDITION Of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge listed book titles on that topic. That's why I have a landline and prefer to limit my use of a cellphone.

It's a sad statement of affairs when parents are too busy to mind their children. There is such richness to enjoy when you teach a child how to be sociable, how to master desired skills, how to love. The consequences of letting a fussy, sad, or frightened child play with a digital device when they need a parent's warm hug or assuring words is so damn damaging. If an autistic, ADD or ADHD child is pacified with devices, it destroys so much potential for their developing character.

YES, I sympathize with an adult's need to chill, to let the toy take over while mom or dad rest and recharge their own batteries. But that is a far cry from using the digital device as a pet sitter one day after the other. Children are human beings, with a 20-year lifespan to grow up. Parents are supposed to use that time building relationships, teaching the skills, etc.

Want to cope with medical and/or mental health problems, including the expenses for your care? Buy the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. 

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity. Face Your Future with Optimism.

Fill your body with life-enhancing options, not digital dangers.

I received some criticism of my concerns about cellphones, especially my fight against the 7 (and counting) cell phone towers in my small town. Here's the give and take of that online conversation:

Critic 1 - "what about people's in-house wifi? wireless links use more power and emit more radiation than cellphone antennae, something that bears looking into, if one is worried about such radiation."

Critic 2 - "That is a good point. It seems a bit hypocritical to fight someone else (who is making a lot of money) and companies (who are making a lot of money), whoare both really serving the community of those who want cellphone servicebecause of the health danger they impose if one self-imposes worse radiationdangers (wifi) themselves because it would be inconvenient otherwise!

(I wonder how far one can take that argument. For that matter, those who eatmargarine, butter and fats, and don't exercise are self imposing a healthdanger (cancer risk and other ailments), and perhaps it is not fair to causea loss of money to others if one is not really serious about guarding one'shealth in other areas when inconvenient ..)

Just food for thought(!) (I am not taking a position or stating anything definitive or clear-cut)"
_____

My response to both critics - "If a person chooses to eat something with battery acid, then wash it down with arsenic, does that mean that those of us who prefer not to have either chemical in our food chain must endure them because we like to eat? I have been warning readers against WIFI and cellphone + cellphone tower radiation for years. Just because I live in the neighborhood does not mean I wish to be exposed to other people's preferred poisons. YG"

Read this report, The Cell Phone Poisoning of America. And know that it's not just the USA's problem.

Got a cell phone? Hang up on it. Permanently. Lose your WIFI too. Not all technology takes us forward.

Cellphone Tower Radiation Alert!

The world will continue spinning on its axis if we rely on landlines and hang up our cellphones forever. Check out these informational articles by medical researchers:

Cancer and Cell Phone Emissions


4-Fold INCREASE of CANCER
Near Cellphone Transmitter Station,
International Journal of

Cancer Prevention,
vol. 1, nr. 2, April 2004

This Cell-Phone Towers: How Far is Safe? epidemiological study examined people living within 350m of a long-established mast in the Israeli town of Netanya. Researchers found a four-fold (sound familiar?) increase in cancer compared with the general population of Israel and a TEN-Fold increase in cancer in women compared with those outside the 350m zone in Netanya.

If you live 1/4 mile from a cellphone tower
look out!

Don't Drown the Baby!

14 Iyar 5768

Parents, save the summer scare-fest for teens safely watching horror movies in air-conditioned movie theaters. Check out this information for sparing overly hot babies from medical nightmares: The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions recently alerted parents and other childcare-givers that...

"TOO MUCH WATER RAISES SEIZURE RISK IN BABIES
--Breast milk, formula best for hydration"

Hopkins pediatrician and head of the Children's Emergency Department Dr. Allen Walker, M.D., says ""Babies need extra fluids in the hot weather, but straight water is not one of them. "A parent's natural instinct is to give the baby water to prevent dehydration, but too much water can disrupt the delicate balance in a baby's body, leading to water intoxication. Before you know it, the baby is seizing."

Walker says that ADDING WATER TO FORMULA IS DANGEROUS. Babies under a year of age need Mom's milk or formula. Straight water can lead straight to the emergency room - NOT what the baby needs!

SYMPTOMS OF WATER INTOXICATION in infants include:

* Changes in Mental Status, i.e., unusual irritability or drowsiness

* Low Body Temperature, usually 97 degrees or less

* Facial Swelling or Puffiness

* Seizures

"Though any infant who consumes too much water can suffer water intoxication, the risk is highest among children who are already dehydrated, typically after a bout with viral or bacterial infections that cause vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms of dehydration in a young child include dry mouth, increased thirst, irritability and reduced sweating and urination. An easy way to spot dehydration is if a child has fewer than three wet diapers in 24 hours," Walker says.

Neurological, National Council of Negro Women to Reduce Childhood Overweight, and Breast Cancer News Roundup

29 Kislev 5768

I usually post mid-week, but WHEW, holiday season is apparently not the time for taking breaks in the world of medical developments. Here are some awesome snippets of information I gleaned from the many press releases I’ve received this past week. They're just too good to save until Monday or Tuesday:

1. Free, accurate information on many neurological disorders is now available on a new Spanish language website from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH): http://espanol.ninds.nih.gov/. Learn about stroke, dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, autism, and many other neurological disorders at that URL. The publications can be downloaded or ordered free of charge. The website also provides information on clinical studies, links to non-profit organizations that offer information and assistance on neurological disorders, and a contact form where people can submit questions on topics related to health and biomedical research.

2. Michigan rehabilitation center improves lives of brain injury survivors: http://www.origamirehab.org/education/pyramid_strat_n_definitions.html

While we’re on the topic of brain injury, I hope you’ll hang up your cell phone FOREVER: STUDY: Regular cellphone use increases tumor risk...

3. Holiday Assistance for families dealing with pediatric brain tumor!
http://virtualtrials.com/news3.cfm?item=4065

4. Officials from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a collaboration with the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) to help African American children maintain a healthy weight. As part of this collaboration, NCNW members around the U.S. will offer a fun, fast-paced training program for parents, and one for children, developed by the National Institutes of Health. The programs are based on NIH's successful "We Can!" or "Ways to Enhance Children's Activity & Nutrition," a science-based national education program to help children ages 8-13 stay at a healthy weight. For more information, visit http://wecan.nhlbi.nih.gov/ or call toll-free (in the USA) 866-35-WE CAN (866-359-3226)







5. Weight gain hurts breast cancer survival

While we’re on the breast cancer topic, see

'Cool' Israeli technology freezes lumps and tumors
Israeli start-up Arbel Medical had developed a new technology that may be able to remove breast lumps and tumors with cryotherapy, a method of surgery that uses extreme cold to kill diseased tissue. The therapy, IceSense, can be used with local anesthetic alone, and promises not only to significantly reduce treatment and recuperation time for the patient, but also leave no scars. Clinical trials of the new device begin in Israel at the end of this year, and are planned for the US in spring next year. Read on...
