Book excerpt: [This is the new edition of Wireless Radiation Rescue.] This generation spends most of their time inside, on digital devices, immersed in harmful levels of wireless radiation. Many are tech-obsessed and disconnected - from themselves, each other and the natural world. Most parents and grandparents are unknowingly putting their children - born and unborn - at risk with the unsafe use of all things wired and wireless. We want our children to be tech-savvy, but we also want them healthy - they can be connected in this digital age in much safer ways - at home and at school. And many people are taking great care to age well but missing a key strategy - living in a safer-tech environment. Here's what all of us need to know: the research and recommendations with easy and affordable solutions from the world's leading experts: How to keep the convenience of digital and mobile devices and reduce the potential health hazards - at all stages of life: - Pregnancy and Parenting - from conception to college - and beyond require safer-tech solutions as never before, as the born and unborn are exposed to harmful - government-sanctioned - levels of radiation: wired and wireless; - The mindful use of technology so we don't become tech-obsessed with the latest on digital addiction and our digital detox program - discovering the delights of unplugging now and then and reconnecting with ourselves, each other and the natural world; - New discoveries for healthy aging in this digital age. Our international team of experts also offer in this guide: A summary of the science: A detailed survey to assess risks and symptoms Simple strategies targeting: sleep problems, dizziness, headaches, tingling in the hands, ringing in the ears, eye pain, bloodshot eyes, skin rashes, cardiac symptoms, electro-sensitivity, ADD/ADHD, autism. Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, MD offers his endorsement, "I highly recommend Dr. Crofton's ground-breaking book. It is well-researched and informative. Electro-pollution is the greatest medical threat of our time. These recommendations will benefit all." And leading epidemiologist and expert in this field, Devra Davis, PhD Nobel co-laureate and author of Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation says, "Signals from cell phones reach more deeply into children's thinner skulls and smaller brains. This book is a wake-up call with solutions." WE HUMANS, EACH WONDROUSLY UNIQUE and complex, have an inborn healthiness that is based partially on all the electrical fields - within and around us - being in harmony. And, our heart and brain cells have their own delicate electrical integrity. Our modus operandi, our wellbeing, so to speak, relies on being attuned in this way. We are overwhelming this natural state with a new environmental health hazard - the smog of electro-pollution. The waves of microwave radiation - from mobile phones and all Wi-Fi devices - are powerful enough to blast data through concrete. Imagine how easily this radiation travels through us, and our vulnerable children. Good news: this is a wake-up call with easy-to-implement solutions. This wellness guide reveals how government-sanctioned levels of radiation, from all things wired and wireless, can be harmful to our health - and how to use all of these electronics more safely. Our medical team cautions about a range of potential side effects: exposure without symptoms (you don't feel anything but harm is still occurring, ) mild to moderate symptoms, and electro-sensitivity. And they offer: how to recognize and treat symptoms and how to age well: from conception to college - and beyond. For ourselves, our children, and grandchildren. Not just ours - everyone's. This is also available in an eBook - in all formats. Our website is: www.safertechsolutions.org

Download or read book The Mediatrician s Guide written by Michael Rich, MD, MPH and published by Harper Horizon. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are growing up in a world of screens. They move seamlessly back and forth in a physical-digital environment. But parents are both worried and confused about when and how to introduce tablets, smartphones, even television. When it comes to navigating kids' use of media, all-or-nothing approaches are doomed to fail. Giving children free reign over their screen use carries potential risks to their physical and mental health and their emotional and social development. Yet rejecting digital media is undesirable (and probably impossible), since today's kids must navigate that realm to succeed in school and the world in which, as adults, they'll be expected to function well in a technology-rich environment. So how do we help young people establish mastery of screens and harness them for healthy development and social engagement? Features include: Ask the Mediatrician: questions and answers based on Dr. Rich’s long-running advice column and podcast Media Rx: prescriptive content based on insights from the Digital Wellness Lab and CIMAID Let’s Chat: detailed discussions of special topics in media use and how to talk with your child about them Digital Wellness Toolkit: a one-stop guide for actionable advice that you can customize for your family's specific needs Backed by evidence as well as decades of professional and personal practice, The Mediatrican's Guide will give parents peace of mind and kids much-needed tools to navigate digital media for the rest of their lives.

Download or read book Play in Healthcare for Adults written by Alison Tonkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PLAY. We all do it: wordplay, love play, role-play; we play cards, play sport, play the fool, and play around. And that’s just the grown-ups! It features in every aspect of our lives, whether we call it by that or another name. We all do it, but why do we do it? What does it mean to play and what, if any, difference does it make to our lives? Most crucially, and central to the theme of this book, is the question, ‘Does play have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing, and consequently a role in modern healthcare delivery?’ The contributors to this book provide a comprehensive overview of how play and play-based activities can be used throughout the adult lifespan to promote health and wellbeing within the context of healthcare service delivery for patients, their families and communities, and for the staff involved in their care. Responding to current global health concerns such as obesity, coronary heart disease, dementia and mental health, the book argues that play and playfulness offer a means of protection, promotion and recovery of positive health and wellbeing. The human tendency for play and playfulness as essential to personal growth and development lie at the heart of the discussion. This book will be of interest to all those working in health or social care settings, including nursing, social work and allied health students and professionals and those working within the therapeutic disciplines of art therapy, music therapy, and recreation alliances.
