MICROWAVING YOUR FOOD

ISN'T SAFE

by Larry

Cook

If you have ever wondered whether or not microwaved food is

safe,

here's an experiment you can do at home. Plant seeds in two

pots.

Water one pot with water that has been microwaved, the other

with

regular tap. The seeds that received microwaved water won't

sprout. If microwaved water can stop plants from

growing, think

of what microwaved food can do to your health!

In 1989, Swiss biologist and food scientist Dr. Hans

Hertel

studied the effects of microwaved food. Eight people

participated

in the study. For eight weeks, they lived in a controlled

environment and intermittently ate raw foods, conventionally

 

cooked foods and microwaved foods. Blood samples were tested

 

after each meal. They discovered that eating microwaved

food over

time, causes significant changes in blood chemistry1: a

decrease

in hemoglobin and cholesterol values, in the HDL (good cholesterol)

versus LDL (bad

cholesterol) ratio and in white blood cells,

weakening the immune system, and an increase in leukocyte

levels,

which tends to indicate poisoning and cell damage.

Overall, the study suggested that eating microwaved

foods can

cause degenerative diseases and/or cancer.2

" The measurable

effects on man through the ingestion of microwaved

food, unlike

untreated food, are blood alterations, that can also be

found at

the beginning of a pathological condition, also indicative

of a

beginning cancerous process, " wrote Dr. Bernard Blanc, who

assisted in the study.3 Microwave ovens " cook "

food by forcing

the atoms, molecules and cells within the food to reverse

polarity

billions of times per second, causing friction- the more the

 

friction, the more the heat. This oscillation tears and

deforms

the molecular structure of food. New compounds are formed,

called radiolytic compounds, which are not found in nature.

Interestingly, microwaves are actually used in gene-altering

 

technology to deliberately break cells and neutralize their

" life-force " so they can be manipulated. Microwaves

destroy the

life-force that gives food its vitality and nourishment. When

this life-force dissipates, microorganisms start breaking

food

down and it begins to rot.

In early 1991, a lawsuit was filed against an Oklahoma hospital

because a patient died form receiving a microwaved blood

transfusion. Hospitals routinely heat blood for transfusion,

but not in a microwave.

The effects of microwaving breast milk have also

been researched.

John Kerner,

M.D. and Richard Quin, M.D. from Stanford University

 

said that " Microwaving human milk, even at a low

setting, can

destroy some of its important

disease-fighting capabilities. " 4

After more research, Kerner wrote in the April 1992 issue of

 

Pediatrics that " Microwaving itself may in fact

cause some injury

to the milk above and beyond the heating. " And a

radio announcement

at the University

of Minnesota said that

" Microwaves are not

recommended for heating a baby's bottle. 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 milk,

some

protective properties may be destroyed. " 5 Another study

in Vienna

warned that microwaving breast milk " can lead to

structural,

functional and immunological changes, " and that microwaves

 

transform the amino acid L-proline into D-proline, a proven

toxin

to the nervous system, liver and kidneys.6

In Russia,

microwave ovens were banned in 1976 because of their

negative health consequences and many studies were conducted

on

their use.7 Here are some of their findings on microwaving

food: 1.

Microwaved foods lose 60 ~ 90% of the vital-energy field

and microwaving accelerates the structural disintegration

of foods. 2. Microwaving creates cancer-causing

agents within milk and

cereals. 3. Microwaving alters

elemental food-substances, causing

digestive disorders. 4. Microwaving alters food

chemistry which can lead

to

malfunctions in the lymphatic system and degeneration

of the body's ability to protect itself against cancerous

growths. 5. Microwaved foods lead to a higher

percentage of cancerous

cells in the bloodstream. 6. Microwaving altered

the breakdown of

elemental substances

when raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables were exposed for

even a very short time and free radicals were

formed. 7. Microwaved foods

caused stomach and intestinal cancerous

growths, a general degeneration of peripheral cellular

tissues, and a gradual breakdown of the digestive and

excretive systems in a statistically high percentage of

people.

8. Microwaved foods lowered the body's ability of the body

to utilize B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E,

essential minerals and lipotropics. 9. The microwave field

next to a

microwave oven caused a

slew of health problems as well.

Aside form these studies, many people find that microwaving

their

food doesn't help them feel good. Stephanie Relfe, Kinesiologist,

 

found herself feeling " grey and rather low " one day

and discovered

that she had inadvertently eaten microwaved food at

a restaurant.8

In her practice, she found that all of her patients gave

body

signals of having allergic reactions to microwaved

foods. Another

Kinesiologist, David

Bridgeman, said, " Of all the

people I test

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

microwaved food. "

In conclusion then, the safest way to heat your food is

to use

your stove top and throw away your microwave

I like this article. VERY good. I don't have a microwave and won't allow one in the house. Someone gave me one a long time ago and it sat out in the carport, till that fell through. I couldn't give it away because I felt like I would be passing a death wish along to another person.

Right! I’ve always refused to have one. People

thought I was strange!

This confirmed what I already thought I knew.

 

I tried to share this last year with another group, and you'd be

surprised how many people skewered me for it. There are a lot of

die-hard nuker users out there, even in the " organic " groups.

 

But I appreciated this writeup and I suggest to people that they try

it when they say they don't believe their nuker is bad for their food.

 

People think I'm strange, too - I live in a meat-eating, chemical

farming community and I'm trying to convert my family to mostly raw,

very little meat, organic whatever I can find... but being thought

strange isn't so bad, I'm really getting used to it!

I threw out my microwave this year. My vegetarian daughter surprised me

when she came home, and was not happy that I had thrown out the nuker. It's

convenient, she says. GACK. Well, she's 23, and lives in the

gotta-have-it-now generation.

Good for you, Lynn!

Eventually your daughter will come around – maybe when she has kids of

her own and is concerned about their health.
