* Memory Joke

Three sisters ages 92, 94, and 96 lived together.

One night the 96 year old draws a bath and puts

one foot in and pauses. She yells down the stairs

"I can't remember if I was getting in or out."

The 94 year old yells "I don't know. I'll come up

and see." She gets half-way up the stairs and

pauses. She says "I can't remember if I was going

up or down."

The 92 year old shook her head and said "I sure

hope I never get that forgetful." She knocks on

wood for good measure. Then she says, "Hang on I'll

come help both of you as soon as I see who's at the

door."

Welcome to "TheMemoryDoc.com," the Internet magazine for

people of all ages who want to learn more about preserving

and protecting the brain from memory loss and also for

those who want to help persons who already have memory

loss to recover and overcome this problem.

* The Memory Doc's Mission Statement is: To inform people

in simple terms about ways to prevent and overcome memory

loss using the most professional and therapeutic methods

possible by offering awareness, education and new research.

*********************************************

Dear Friend,

Fortunately for those of us still ambling toward the sunset

years, we finally know many of the land-mines that caught up

with our ancestors and caused brain ailments and memory

losses, like:

1. The advent of fast, processed, and unnatural "fat-free"

foods, (actually filled with dangerous trans-fats).

2. The constant intake of canned food products and resulting

leakage of aluminum into our bodies. Not to mention, 

aluminum found in anti-perspirants, some cooking utensils, 

and many coffee creamers.

3. The toxic nature of mercury found in many fish, water,

vaccinations, and dental repairs.

4. Poor water filtration around the country and the

misunderstanding that what you can't see, smell, or taste

surely indicates "clean water." Unfortunately, this is not

true.

5. The lack of exercise. . . fresh green vegetables . . .

adequate vitamins. . . needed hormones like the 'thyroid'

hormone.

6. Too much 'homocysteine' causing artery problems and

crying out for B vitamins. . . too much of the hormone

'cortisol' sent into the system to battle with undue stress

. . . too much sugar creating heavy amounts of insulin.

And the list goes on.

Okay, but what's up with the middle-aged and younger

generations? What are we doing without thinking that may

eventually catch up with us?

Well, we certainly need to keep an eye out for conclusive

information about cell phone radiation.

Here to share on that growing topic is a shortened report

from the researchers of "Which?".

********************************************

Cell Phones! Testing at ERA Technology, Inc.

--"Which?"

Which?" has published the results of tests on a variety

of mobile phone devices, including two hands-free kits.

We reported that both kits emitted more radiation than a

mobile phone alone.

In both cases, these emissions were three times higher

than those generated by the phone. These findings

surprised us - we had assumed that the kits would cut

emissions.

[Tests] found that one critical factor was the distance

between the top of the phone's aerial and the ear.

And in many of the positions that are likely when a kit

and phone are worn in normal use, the probe inside our

test head detected higher emissions from the kits than

when the phones alone were held against the head.

Our latest tests confirm that hands-free kits can indeed

increase the radiation from mobile phones.

Following the tests in this controversial area, our

conclusion and message to consumers remains: Don't rely

on a hands-free kit to reduce the amount of radiation

emitted from a mobile phone. . . .

The Health Question

The real issue that concerns people is whether mobile

phone radiation will damage their health.

Currently there's little evidence that it causes health

problems, but neither has research given it the all clear.

. . . Hands-free kits were originally thought to reduce 

radiation-- but our tests show that, while they can cut levels,

they can also increase them.

This depends on the phone, the kit, your height and where

you position the phone. Unfortunately, there's no way

that an individual can work out the best position for

them to minimize the effect.

We want the government to take our findings into account

and devise a new standard for testing hands-free kits.

But remember: if you're concerned, the most important

safety-first advice is to keep the number and duration

of calls to a minimum, whether you use a phone with or

without a hands-free kit.

**********************************************

Now I'm the first one to admit, this is not good news

to someone like me!

As I peeked through the research on this subject, I

couldn't help but notice that long term users of cell

phones are the ones who need to cut back the most or

invest in protective ferrite beads.

To read more on these ferrite beads, go to the following

link: http://www.mercola.com/forms/ferrite_beads.htm

Fact is, we probably need to protect our brains from

cell phone radiation absorption possibilities. Radiation

frequently accompanies cell phone usage and, as we just

learned, you can't escape it even with the hands-free

type of cell phone.

The reports on this subject are ablaze with concerns about

memory loss, ADHD, and even brain tumors related to cell

phone usage.

Since none of the reports were totally conclusive, I am

only bringing them to your attention and letting you know.

I ordered my ferrite beads and a new head set to go with

them from the link above this past weekend.

To tell you the truth, I do get minor headaches and

even ear aches sometimes when I am on my cell phone

for more than a few minutes! So I am going to take the

precautions.

Hey, have a wonderful week! It's always great hearing

from you. Thank you for all your emails and notes to me.

I so appreciate them.

Warm regards,

Dr. Jill

P.S. I will be returning from a convention next week

and may miss writing until the following week. But please

write to me if you've also had negative experiences with

cell phones so we can compare notes.
