A Health Benefit of Roller Coasters

“What was amazing was within just a few rides it became obvious that there was a huge difference in passage rates whether you sat in the front or the rear of the coaster,” Wartinger tells me. “There was a lot more whipping around in that rear car.”

The stones passed 63.89 percent of the time while the kidneys were in the back of the car. When they were in the front, the passage rate was only 16.67 percent. That’s based on only 60 rides on a single coaster, and Wartinger guards his excitement in the journal article: “Preliminary study findings support the anecdotal evidence that a ride on a moderate-intensity roller coaster could benefit some patients with small kidney stones.”

Now, though, he has done more than 200 total stone rides on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only coaster that could be therapeutic: “Some rides are going to be more advantageous for some patients than other rides. So I wouldn't say that the only ride that helps you pass stones is Big Thunder Mountain. That's grossly inaccurate.” https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/09/for-kidney-health-roller-coaster-therapy/501278/


Radiation emitted from smart meters 100 times greater than cell phones - and exposure is constant, doctors warn

Independent studies have revealed that both the strength and frequency of smart meter pulses make them exceptionally threatening. The Center for Electrosmog Prevention, a California nonprofit group, estimates that one smart meter emits the radiation equivalent of about 160 mobile phones. Other studies have concluded that smart meters emit not 100 but 1,000 times the radioactive load of a typical cell phone. http://www.naturalnews.com/054591_Smart_meters_radiation_EMF.html


Your Appendix Might Serve an Important Biological Function After All

The appendix could play an important role in a species' immune system, particularly as lymphatic tissue is known to stimulate the growth of certain types of beneficial gut bacteria. http://www.sciencealert.com/your-appendix-might-serve-an-important-biological-function-after-all-2?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Branded+Content&utm_campaign=ScienceNaturePage


LEAD & CADMIUM FOUND IN CHOCOLATE – Is it in your favorite brand? Check here!

In February of 2015, the watchdog group As You Sow, a nonprofit organization that promotes environmental and social corporate responsibility, began legal action against Chocolate companies for having lead and/or cadmium in their products without disclosing it on the label. According to Andrew Behar of As You Sow, “We sent them to an independent lab and we had them test it for lead and for cadmium and we compared these levels to the legal limits.”

Cadmium and lead are both heavy metals that accumulate in the body and can cause harm, so they’re best avoided as much as possible. According to As You Sow, “Chronic exposure to cadmium has been linked to kidney, liver, and bone damage in humans. Children are more susceptible to exposure effects from low doses of cadmium over time. Animal studies have associated cadmium exposure with decreased birth weight, neurobehavioral problems, and male reproductive harm” (source). Exposure to lead has long been a public health issue, as even low levels are associated with neurological impairment, including learning disabilities and a low IQ. Ingestion of lead is especially dangerous to children and pregnant women with developing brains. http://nutritionallywealthy.com/lead-cadmium-found-in-chocolate/?c=MAM


Thousands Of Experimental Bacteria-Ridden Mosquitoes Were Just Released In Florida

Thousands of mosquitoes infected with the Wolbachia bacteria were released in an area of the Florida Keys this week, in hopes of a new approach to control the disease-carrying female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits Zika virus, Dengue fever and Chikungunya.

According to the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, 20,000 male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were released on Stock Island Tuesday for a field trial that will last 12 weeks. The mosquitoes, which do not bite, have been manually infected with a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.

The Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes are to be released twice a week at 20 different spots in the “designated area” for the trial for MosquitoMate. The public was apparently warned that there would be an (ironic) influx of mosquitoes during this time.
