Electromagnetic Radiation  –  Why it Matters: You might be surprised to know that everything your body did today was made possible by electricity.  The organic computer, known as your brain, that runs the whole show, emits waves that are electrical.  All the sensory information (like hunger and pain) it sends and receives is electrical.  This includes the neurons that discharge when you move a muscle, the signals that tell your body to heal a wound, and even the beat of your heart.   The electromagnetism of the body is so crucial to our functioning that even conventional medicine uses...

Good, old-fashioned sunshine is the best way to get our vitamin D, but if you plan to be in the mid-day sun for extended periods of time, it’s a good idea to protect your skin. Aside from using hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing, it’s sometimes necessary, especially in the warmer months, to use sunscreen.  That being said, please be careful with your sunscreen choices.
