*MICROWAVE COOKING is Killing You!*

 

By Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Syd.)

 

Microwave cooking is one of the* *most important causes of ill

health. It is certainly one of the most ignored.

 

There was a lawsuit in 1991 in Oklahoma. A woman named Norma Levitt

had hip surgery, but was* killed by a simple blood transfusion* when

a nurse " warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven! "

 

Logic suggests that if heating is all there is to microwave cooking,

then it doesn't matter how something is heated. Blood for

transfusions is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. Does it

not therefore follow that microwaving cooking does something quite

different?

 

A little evidence of the harm caused by microwaving cooking was given

by the University of Minnesota in a radio announcement:

 

" Microwaves ... are not recommended for heating a baby's bottle.

The bottle may seem cool to the touch, but the liquid inside may

become extremely hot and could burn the baby's mouth and throat...

Heating the bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the

milk. In infant formulas,* there may be a loss of some vitamins*. In

expressed breast milk, *some protective properties may be

destroyed....* Warming a bottle by holding it under tap water or by

setting it in a bowl of warm water, then testing it on your wrist

before feeding, may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer " .

 

There have been very few scientific studies done on the effect of

eating food microwaved food. This is rather surprising when you think

about the fact that microwaves have been with us for only a few

decades - and that in that time the incidence of many diseases has

continued to increase.

 

Two researchers, Blanc and Hertel, confirmed that microwave

cooking*significantly * changes food nutrients. Hertel previously

worked as a food scientist for several years with one of the major

Swiss food companies. He was fired from his job for questioning

procedures in processing food because they denatured it. He got

together with Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry

and the University Institute for Biochemistry.

 

They studied the effect that microwaved food had on eight

individuals, by taking blood samples immediately after eating. They

found that* after eating microwaved food, haemoglobin levels

decreased.* " These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation

became even more pronounced during the second month of the study " .

 

Who knows what results they would have found if they had studied

people who ate microwaved food for a year or more?

 

The violent change that microwaving causes to the food molecules

forms new life forms called radiolytic compounds. These are mutations

that are unknown in the natural world. Ordinary cooking also causes

the formation of some radiolytic compounds (which is no doubt one

reason why it is better to eat plenty of* raw* food), but microwaving

cooking causes a much greater number. This then causes deterioration

in your blood and immune system.

 

In addition, they found that the number of leucocytes increases after

eating microwaved food - *something which haematologists take very

seriously, because this is often a sign of highly harmful effects,

such as poisoning*.

 

Also,* after eating microwaved food, cholesterol levels increased*.

Hertel said " Common scientific belief states that cholesterol values

usually alter slowly over longer periods of time. In this study, the

markers increased rapidly after the consumption of the microwaved

vegetables. " He believes his study tends to confirm new scientific

data that suggest cholesterol may rapidly increase in the blood

secondary to acute stress. " Also, " he added, " blood cholesterol

levels are less influenced by cholesterol content of food than by

stress factors. Such stress-causing factors can apparently consist

of foods which* contain virtually no cholesterol - the microwaved

vegetables. " *

 

The results were published in " Search for Health " in the Spring of

1992. How was this research greeted? A powerful trade organisation,

the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electroapparatuses for

Households and Industry somehow made the President of the Court of

Seftigen issue a `gag order'. Hertel and Blanc were told that if they

published their findings they would face hefty fines or up to one

year in prison. In response to this, Blanc recanted his findings.

Hertel, on the other hand, went on a lecture tour and demanded a jury

trial.

 

*FINALLY, in 1998 the Court `Gag Order' was removed.* In a judgment

delivered at Strasbourg on 25 August 1998 in the case of Hertel v.

Switzerland, the European Court of Human Rights held that there had

been a violation of Hertel's rights in the 1993 decision. The Court

decided that the `gag order' prohibiting him form declaring that

microwaved food is dangerous to health was contrary to the right to

freedom of expression. In addition, Switzerland was sentenced to pay

compensation of F40,000.

 

*In Summary: Blanc and Hertel found that eating microwaved food:*

 

- Increases cholesterol

- Increases white blood cell numbers

- Decreases red blood cell numbers

- Causes production of radiolytic compounds (compounds unknown in

nature)

*RUSSIANS BAN MICROWAVE OVENS*

 

After the World War II, the Russians also experimented with microwave

ovens. From 1957 up to recently, their research has been carried out

mainly at the Institute of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia.

According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the

results of Russian and German research - and was apparently

prosecuted for doing so (J. Nat. Sci, 1998; 1:42-3) - the following

effects were observed by Russian forensic teams:

 

1. Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently for human

consumption created:

* d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing agent)

* Destabilization of active protein biomolecular compounds

* Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere

* Creation of cancer-causing agents within protein-hydrosylate

compounds in milk and cereal grains;

2. Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the catabolic

(breakdown) behavior of glucoside - and galactoside - elements within

frozen fruits when thawed in this way;

3. Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of plant-alkaloids when raw,

cooked or frozen vegetables were exposed for even very short periods;

4. Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain

trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, especially in

raw root vegetables;

5. Ingestion of micro-waved foods caused a higher percentage of

cancerous cells in blood;

6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions

occurred in the lymphatic system, causing degeneration of the immune

system=s capacity to protect itself against cancerous growth;

7. The unstable catabolism of micro-waved foods altered their

elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive

system;

8. Those ingesting micro-waved foods showed a statistically higher

incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers, plus a general

degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues with a gradual breakdown

of digestive and excretory system function;

9. Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional

value of all foods studied, particularly:

* A decrease in the bioavailability of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C,

vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotrophics

* Destruction of the nutritional value of nucleoproteins in meats

* Lowering of the metabolic activity of alkaloids, glucosides,

galactosides and nitrilosides (all basic plant substances in fruits

and vegetables)

* Marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods.

 

As a result microwave ovens were banned in Russia in 1976; the ban was

lifted after Perestroika.

Standing in front of a microwave is also highly damaging to your

health. Perhaps you have already felt this intuitively? We know that

cells explode in the microwave - just fry an egg in your microwave.

We are made up of trillions of cells. So work out how many are

getting damaged if you stand in front of your microwave for 5-10

minutes.

 

In the past I had been told that it was important for people to stop

eating microwaved food, but I did not pay too much attention to this

because I had been microwave cooking for years. I never thought much

about it but I suppose that I figured that if something was so bad

for us, then there wouldn't be so many people using it. Little did I

know.

 

When I first began seeing clients for sessions of kinesiology, I did

not worry too much about telling them to give up eating microwaved

food. However, I kept a record of all of the corrections that were

needed for each client when they came in. Now, once a correction is

made, it is to be hoped that the correction will stay in place for a

long time to come, hopefully months if not years. People often ask

me " How long will it last? " May answer to them is " That depends on

your lifestyle " .

 

Most of my clients came back to see me after about two weeks. In the

early days I found that many who came back were not much better. I

found that they were again `out of balance'. That is, their

electrical circuits were not working correctly (which is common for

many people). It was therefore not surprising that they were not much

better, because the body does not begin to fully fix itself until the

electrical circuits are in balance.

 

The question was, why did their electrical circuits go out of

balance? The answer had to be something that was* highly* stressful,

to effect the body in such a short space of time. Once that answer

was remedied, the client would begin to get better. Using muscle

testing, I went through the process of testing if the cause was

electrical, chemical/nutritional, emotional or structural. Again and

again the same answer would come up - electrical. When I then went

through a range of possible electrical causes, the same answer

again came up again and again - the person had eaten microwaved food!

Incidentally, this answer never came up when a person had NOT eaten

microwaved food.

 

I began to tell all of my clients on the first visit that under NO

circumstances were they ever to do microwaved cooking again. I gave

this a higher priority than any of things that are normally

considered as health risks, such as cigarettes or alcohol.

Immediately I began to get a marked improvement in the results I was

getting. Long term problems such as headaches, back aches and

emotional instability went away within a few weeks.

 

Other kinesiologists can confirm these results. David Bridgman, who

has years of experience as a kinesiologist, said " Of all the people I

test for allergies, *99.9% so far show severe sensitivity to any

microwaved food " .*

 

I experienced the effect of eating microwaved food for myself one

time. I had been doing quite a lot of kinesiology and feeling on top

of the world when for no apparent reason I began to feel rather

`grey' and rather low. Irealised that I needed a balance from a

kinesiologist. Sure enough, I was out of balance. When the

kinesiologist used muscle testing to see why my body had gone out of

balance, the answer came up ... microwaved food! The trouble was, I

couldn't remember eating any. Until I remembered a particular

vegetarian restaurant I had been to. When I went back to the

restaurant and asked them if they microwaved their food, they told me

that they did.

 

So be warned! Many restaurants use microwaved cooking, even `health'

restaurants. Ask if the " steamed vegetables " are in fact steamed - or

are they microwaved? I have sent meals back when they have not been

what they were described on the menu, much to the surprise of the

restaurant owners.
