Don't Use Microwave Ovens!
Don't Use Microwave Ovens! From: Stan Cayer http://educate-yourself.org/cn/micro...s15sep04.shtml September 15, 2004 MICRO WAVING YOUR FOOD ISN'T SAFE If you want proof of this information, here's an experiment you can do at home. Plant seeds in two pots. Water one pot with water that has been micro waved, the other with regular tap. The seeds that received micro waved water won't sprout. If micro waved water can stop plants from growing, think of what micro waved 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 chemistry: 1 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 can cerousprocess,wroteDr. 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. 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. 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." Also, homeopathy in the vicinity of a microwave looses its healing potential... In conclusion then, the safest way to heat your food is to use your stovetop and throw away your microwave!

"2. If it is swallowed and lodges in the throat."
True only if on a low carb diet. |

... MICRO WAVING YOUR FOOD ISN'T SAFE When microwave ovens were first introduced, there was a wave of concern among consumers and in science. It took a decade of funded and independent research, and two decades of user experience, to prove conclusively that if a microwave oven is working properly (seals, interlocks, etc.) there is danger from such a time-saving appliance in only two instances. 1. If fingers get in the way of the closing door. 2. If it is swallowed and lodges in the throat. USE CAUTION TO AVOID THESE HAZARDS Otherwise, the microwave oven is quite safe. |

Plant seeds in two pots. Water one pot with water that has been micro waved, the other with regular tap. The seeds that received micro waved water won't sprout. COMMENT: Hey, John, you brainless ignorant twit! Too bad you didn't actually try this experiment before you posted Cayer's claim! If it's true you win the Nobel Prize. But of course it's nonsense. 1. Microwaved foods lose 60 ~ 90% of the vital-energy field and microwaving accelerates the structural disintegration of foods. COMMENT: "Vital energy fields." Whenever you hear this term, grab your wallet and run! Destroys auras! Destroys homeopathic power! Destroys qi and prana and vital essence and subtracts Delta sky-miles! 2. Microwaving creates cancer-causing agents within milk and cereals. COMMENT: So does any type of heating. But microwaving, since it produces fewer extreme temperatures than most other kinds of cooking, produces less. The only type of cooking as safe as microwaving for production of carcinogens, is boiling. And even boiling causes more loss of vitamins, because 1) some vitamins leach into boiling water, and 2) people who boil tend to boil longer than they need to. 3. Microwaving alters elemental food-substances, causing digestive disorders. COMMENT: See above. 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. COMMENT: See above. Microwaving has never been proven to do anything to food that every other alternative type of cooking doesn't do WORSE. The only way you can avoid this is eat all your food raw. That means you have to give up meat, for safety, and grains because without cooking they don't digest in humans. Okay if you want to do this, but it also means you don't get maximal nutrition out of vegetables, either, unless you're going to blenderize them to puree.... 5. Microwaved foods lead to a higher percentage of cancerous cells in the bloodstream. COMMENT: Baloney. 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. COMMENT: Free radicals are formed with any kind of heating. More are formed with all other forms of cooking than are formed from microwave cooking. 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. COMMENT: Baloney. Reference? 8. Microwaved foods lowered the body's ability of the body to utilize B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics. COMMENT: Nonsense. 9. The microwave field next to a microwave oven caused a slew of health problems as well. COMMENT: Maybe if you have a pacemaker. 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." COMMENT: If you know what a "kinesiologist" does and is, there's really nothing else to say. Also, homeopathy in the vicinity of a microwave looses its healing potential... COMMENT: There's nothing to lose. In conclusion then, the safest way to heat your food is to use your stovetop and throw away your microwave! COMMENT: In which case you'll be heating your food more, exposing its surfaces to higher temperatures, and at the very least (if you use your stove only for boiling) probably exposing it to temperatures for longer than required. From the desk of: Light & Luv, Stan Cayer, COMMENT: Resident alternative doofus. Not all alternative medicine is bad-- for example naturopaths and even herbalists have found some true and useful things to teach standard medicine. But articles like the above really give alternative medicine a bad name. SBH |

I just did a test and am ready to collect. I tried it 47 times, and was perfectly consistent. I think I could repeat this over and over, and get the same results forever. I've had sensitivity training (evident from my posts here), and to me, microwaved water seems warmer than non-microwaved water. I therefore extended the trial and can say with confidence that John was right. If you microwave the water till bubbles form, then pour it over the seeds, they WILL NOT SPROUT. Try it yourself, you'll see. Until now, o grinning canine, you had my respect. Henry |

Try it yourself, you'll see. I doubt that many people missed my point. I doubt you did either. But, if you insist, try this again using water boiled in a microwave and compare with boiled in any container that doesn't leach anything into the water. Happy now? Until now, o grinning canine, you had my respect. Like I care. moo |
