8/19/2014

 
Picture

I closed my account with Thumbtack in 2018. Like most companies who claim to want to create quality listings, the lowest common denominator fills their pockets the most. C'est la vie.
If you'd like to see the initial reviews, read on.

Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD quote about proliferation of electromagnetic fields being the greatest polluting element.
​All electrical appliances, wires, and power lines produce measurable electromagnetic fields called EMF and residentially are generally associated with extremely low frequencies (ELF). Extremely low does not mean harmless, it is only a designation for the range of frequencies.   ...

Not all persons are affected by low-level waves on the electromagnetic spectrum, all of which are forms of electromagnetic radiation. In Sweden, EHS is classified as a disability versus a disease, and those thus handicapped have a support system and have the opportunity to live and work in an electrosanitized environment.

Acid-Alkaline Forming Foods

8/19/2014

 
Picture
Good health often means a body in balance between acidity and alkalinity, simply because being at one extreme or the other on the pH scale results in poor health. Choosing a balance of the right foods can be confusing because an acidic food doesn't necessarily create an acidic condition in the body.

    I have the intelligence to know I am stupid, and the arrogance to experiment. Both are key scientific values.

    Goal

    To express solution-oriented arguments toward a healthier self and world.

    Insights

    We can live without our thinking brain, but will die without our emotional brain.  Listen to those first emotions, for the body never lies. Then do thoughtful diligence, because we often lie to ourselves.​
    ---
    No 'system' is corrupt;

    each employee either does the most and best they can, or they choose to do the least they can get away with. 
    ---
    No technology is bad, each person who uses it chooses to behave or not within it.
    ---
    If we agree upon and prioritize a single core value, like integrity, everything we say and do would reflect that value, even as time, technology, and circumstances change.
    ---
    If we apply, for example, polarity physics to social communications and transactions, we would recognize the importance of balancing the best of both liberal and conservative aspects, instead of knee-jerking from one unbalanced extreme to another like a free radical.
    ---
    Emotions are vital yet never an adult's excuse for responding immaturely. Instead, see emotional spikes, whether positive or negative, as a sign to slow down, backup, and proceed with informed caution or a change in direction.
