A Rant About Microwave Oven Safety

Microwave ovens have taken bad press for many years, but when you try to find out why everything seems to link to one major report done in the late 1980's by a Swiss scientist, called Hans Hertel and the Russians' who banned microwave ovens for many years having done studies on microwaves in the 1930s, long before microwave ovens were invented.

Hans Hertel a food scientist spent two months locked in a hotel with seven colleagues testing microwave foods and taking and testing blood samples from those people and claiming that there were changes in their blood which showed similar signs to the pathological changes which occur at the start of cancer.

Hertel never claimed at any point that microwave ovens cause cancer and his studies were never replicated by any of his peers or published in any medical journal. It seems strange to me that in a world where health has become a priority with smoking bans across Europe and extensive aids programs being conducted through out Africa, that nobody in the developed nations of the World has conducted further tests to ascertain whether there are any facts to back up Hertel's claims or if they are complete rubbish. As what he studied and he measured the results has never been divulged it would be impossible to reproduce the tests and get any measurements.

Some theorists have suggested that the large technology corporations have deliberately stopped any scientific testing of microwave cookery. These are the same corporations that billions from TVs, Stereo systems and more recently Ipods and many other electrical products. Companies, who if microwave ovens were banned would not go out of business. If it was the case that large corporations were trying to stop testing on there products or development of new products the oil companys' would have stopped nuclear power and bi fuels before they even got off the drawing board.

There are millions of pages on the web claiming how bad microwave ovens are with absolutely no substantiated proof that they do any damage at all. Being a proud member of the free western world and respecting the rights of every individual to have their say I feel that a study that was done nearly twenty years ago, with no substantiated evidence is not only out dated but really should be put to bed. The other thing is that if these deluded individuals wish to keep putting the use of microwave ovens down as dangerous they need to come up with some evidence to support their claims or just shut up and let the rest of us normal people get on with our lives.

Alcohol Addiction - What Were You Up To Last Night?

Do you remember what you did last night? And the night before, and the night before that?

If you have mornings where you forget what you did the night before, it is time to take a serious look at your drinking habits.

Alcohol addiction could mean that you drink every day; or that you drink to excess every week; or that you feel you can't cope without alcohol. You don't have to be permanently drunk to be addicted.

Consider the effects that your drinking has at the moment. If you can honestly say that you hardly ever get drunk, you never do something you regret the next day, and you can cope without alcohol, then relax - you are out of the danger zone. But if your answer to any of these questions is "yes," then you could be on a slippery slope.

Alcohol addiction creeps up on people without warning. They believe that they have all the control, and feel, "It could never happen to me!" But, one day, they wake up realizing that they are out of control. The alcohol has taken over.

They think it's too late. They spiral into lack of self-respect, hurting their body, then their mind and spirit, and finally their loved ones.

But the good thing is that it's never too late. You can find stories of people who have had the most harrowing of experiences, going right into the gutter (often literally); yet, eventually, they did find out how to stop drinking alcohol and now they are completely free of that prison.

How did these people do that? Well, each one has his own story. However, there are proven ways that help you tremendously. Because, you can't do this by yourself. If you are addicted to alcohol, you will need help. One thing to remember is that there are a number of organizations to deal with such problems, from official government organizations, to charitable ones such as The Samaritans.

Of the self-help tools available, there are books available in the library, and self-hypnosis CDs and downloadable MP3s (by reputable hypnotherapists). Other routes include getting help from the medical profession (e.g. CBT), and from complementary therapists. The more avenues you experiment with, the greater the chance of your success, because they all work together to make it more powerful.

By combining professional help, self help, support from friends and family, and help from expert organizations, you can overcome this.

And it's power that you want: Aren't you tired of being the slave to alcohol?

Alcohol addiction needs help to overcome. Get all the support you can, and do everything you can to learn how to stop drinking alcohol.
