Cell Phones and our Brain Health? While the evidence is not conclusive, there is some evidence you might want to know about.

  • Research in Israel might indication damage to the lens of the eye due to cell phone use.

  • Henry Lai and Narendra "N.P." Singh had results indicating that the radiation could cause DNA damage in brain cells.  This article in the UW Alumni discusses the research and the political pressure from cell phone companies.

  • The Reflex Report (2004)  Twelve institutes in seven countries have found genotoxic effects and modified expressions on numerous genes and proteins after radio frequency and extremely low frequency EMF exposure at low levels, below current international safety guidance, to living cells in-vitro. These results confirm the likelihood of long-term genetic damage in the blood and brains of users of mobile phones and other sources of electromagnetic fields. The idea behind the REFLEX study was to attempt replicate damage already reported to see if the effects were real and whether, or not, more money should be spent of research into the possible adverse health effects of EMF exposure. They concluded that in-vitro damage is real and that it is important to carry out much more research, especially monitoring the long-term health of people.

Addiction 12-Step Worksheets

Here are some of my favorite and useful information and worksheets for working the 12 steps.

STEP 1

STEP 2 AND STEP 3 STEP 4 Alcoholism Anger Assertiveness and Confrontation Attitude Compulsive Gambling Communication Decision Making Dysfunctional Families Emotion Neuro-Linguistic Programming Pain and Suffering Parenting Prayers
  • Prayer of Tranquility -this prayer is really useful for the recovering person as well as anybody.  It comes to us from the Elders at the Optina Monastery.

  • The Sobriety Prayer - this paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13 substitutes the word, "sobriety" with love.  While taking liberty with Scripture in this way has it challenges, the truth is compelling.

  • To Let Go -this is a great listing of what it means to let go and to not control another person.  To "care about" rather than "care for" is one of the shifts in thinking freedom from codependency.

  • Third Step Prayer - this prayer from Alcoholics Anonymous is a foundation prayer where one prayers often on a daily basis to surrender their will and their life to the care of God.
