The idea is that matter likes to be both electrically and magnetically neutral: positive charges balanced with negative charges, and electrons (which are electronegative) like to be paired “spin up” and [...]
I wrote here on what EMFs (Electromagnetic Fields) are, and here on their potential damage to mitochondria. Dr Mosley wrote here on the studies of various types of physical damage associated with EMFs, and how that translates to the current concern over 5G. But how to you know if your EMF [...]

Quick recap on at least the detoxification portion, though: toxins, especially solvents, tend to persist in fat cells for years unless eliminated—and elimination occurs via sweating and weight loss. Sauna, therefore, is helpful for [...]
I wrote here on the health benefits of sauna generally. But infrared saunas are touted to have the highest health benefits compared to other types of sauna. What is the difference between them?

It is arguably the most powerful antioxidant in the body; it’s also required for one of the liver’s six main pathways of Phase 2 Detoxification, and it offers immune support and cytokine balancing in chronic illness. Recently it [...]
