How many electronic innovations have you dialed, watched, surfed, charged, listed to, booted up, commuted on, cooked with, and plugged in today?
Consider your typical day: If you’re like most people, it probably starts in front of your coffee maker and toaster, ends as you set the alarm on your cell phone, and involves no end of computers and gadgets, televisions and microwaves in between.
We’re being zapped: Today 84 percent of Americans own a cell phone, 89 million of us watch TV beamed in by satellite, and we can’t sip a cup of coffee at our local cafÉ without being exposed to Wi-Fi. The very electronic innovations that have changed our lives are also exposing us, in ways big and small, to an unprecedented number of electromagnetic fields. Invisible pollution surrounds us twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, interrupting our bodies’ natural flow of energy. And for some, that pollution has reached the point of toxicity, causing fatigue, irritability, weakness, and even illness.
But we don’t have to simply surrender. Ann Louise Gittleman brings forth the latest research into electromagnetic fields to create this groundbreaking guide for every citizen of the wireless age. With the proactive, levelheaded approach that has made her one of our most respected health experts, she not only clarifies the risks but also offers specific, step-by-step information for how anyone can minimize them. From where you place your sofa to when you use your cell phone to what you eat for dinner, Zapped is packed with strategies for avoiding and mitigating the damaging effects of electropollution.
As she examines modern life room by room, device by device, Gittleman reveals a master plan for detoxifying your surroundings and protecting yourself and your family. We don’t need to abandon our homes—or even give up our PDAs—to be healthier and happier. Based on the latest scientific data, case studies, and Gittleman’s years of clinical practice, Zapped is an empowering guide to living safely with the gadgets we can’t live without.

| 70 of 75 people found the following review helpful:  Must-Reading for Those Who Want to Protect Their Health in Our Cellphone/Laptop/Wifi World!, By This review is from: Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution (Hardcover) I've followed the terrific work of Ann Louise Gittleman, MS, CNS, PhD for years, and it's clear that after 30 books, many of them bestsellers, she has established herself as a leader in identifying the latest health challenges, as well as in presenting cutting-edge, common sense approaches to help resolve them. Zapped is an eye opener. A fascinating, well-researched, and well-referenced book that looks at the health consequences of our constant exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and electronic pollution. We are marinating in electromagnetic fields -- with homes and offices filled with wireless wi-fi internet, smart phones, laptops, electronic games, cordless devices and appliances everywhere. In Zapped, Dr. Gittleman makes a compelling argument for the health impact of this constant exposure, and outlines the research and studies behind the latest health concerns related to electronic pollution. In particular, Dr. Gittleman talks about -- and...

It is pretty well researched... but it is certainly not the last word on the subject. Most glaring is the lack of any mention of the difference between switch-mode and linear transformers. Think of all your "wall warts"; if they were made since 1999 they are probably the switching type, which saves energy but creates EMFs at high frequencies, from 30 kiloHertz to a megaHertz and beyond. You can still buy linear ("regulated linear" is best) power supplies... just unplug them when not in use so you don't waste electricity. They won't contaminate the wiring in your house with "dirty electricity" (see the excellent article on this that appeared in Prevention Magazine last year). CFL bulbs use switch-mode supplies too... pretty much every digital device made since 1999 or 2000 does, and low-voltage DC halogen lamps too. The old linear type makes a strong magnetic field but that's...

What's significant about this book is that it presents a number of compelling and troubling studies about the hazards of electro-magnetic pollution--not only from cell phones, but also from ordinary household appliances. It's quite troubling to learn that dimmer switches, hair dryers, baby monitors and any number of everyday items may emit harmful electromagnetic energy. That's the scary part. What makes this book different is that it's also empowering. After the facts are presented in a clear and comprehensive fashion, she goes on to give us some solutions, in the form of simple adjustments anyone can make to their lives--like getting a wind-up alarm clock, or unplugging appliances that you're not using. She also lists a number of foods and supplements that can protect against and perhaps even heal some of the harmful effects. (And they're not... Read more |
