Magnesium is the no. 1 most commonly found deficiency today

It would be optimal if we could eat enough of all the vitamins and minerals, because food is more recognizable to the body and it is easier to absorb. The sources of magnesium in our food products include whole grains, nuts, sprouts, legumes, cocoa, meat and vegetables. However, what I see when I test, is that many lack it - in 9 out of 10 cases, we see a deficit of magnesium. Magnesium is, together with zinc and silica, among the minerals we commonly find is difficult to obtain an optimal level of through our food because the soil is so depleted and our demands for these minerals have increased due to various stressors in modern life.

Scientific American: "We have no reason to believe 5g is safe"

“Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”

NEW TALK (ZOOM WEBINAR DANISH ONLY) 7th of September: Health dangers of EMF and how to navigate

Did you know that the Health Authorities actually recommend reducing our use of mobile phones? Smartphones, wi-fi, etc. have become important components of daily life. Their harmful effects on the body, especially on the nervous system, have gradually become quite well studied. According to a lot of research, unnatural EMF can affect our body's nervous system and cause damage to cells. Cancer and unusual growths can be a symptom of very high EMF exposure. Several studies have reported that exposure to EMF results in oxidative stress in many tissues of the body. Exposure to EMF is known to increase concentrations of free radicals. This results in increased oxidative stress and chronic inflammation as the antioxidant defense system is unable to prevent the damaging effects of free radicals. The World Health Organization initially considered these sources of non-ionizing EMF radiation to be safe because they were only assessed based on their thermal effects - and that, quite correctly, is not harmful to health. However, it turns out that cell damage has not been taken into account in these conclusions. To participate go here: https://tidslerne.nemtilmeld.dk/296/ Please share

Article feature: why we want to let go of the victim mindset

I am featured in an article in CanvasRebel on my thoughts on how our upbringing affects our ability to navigate in life.

When it comes to moving the needle to become healthier and happier beings, I believe one of the most important things we need to remember today is to avoid the trap of the victim mindset. Whatever has happened in our life, nothing good comes from ongoing victimization. There may be many reasons as to why we feel victimized - and indeed sometimes we simply are the victim. However, no empowerment comes if we choose to keep being a victim long-term. We all go through trauma - the key is to not to get stuck in poor-me or bitterness - but rather to develop character, compassion and resilience as we face obstacles in life.

Obviously this is much easier said than done, and there are certainly many cases where I cannot fathom how any human has endured such struggles we sometimes read about in the news or elsewhere. Yet the fact is that only misery and resentment comes from allowing ourselves to stay stuck in a victim mindset.

And for many of us, we have a choice to create the life we want rather than complain about the life we have and yet we take no action to change it.

Study confirms: limit cell phone exposure during pregnancy

"Many studies have shown that electromagnetic fields can have destructive effects on sex hormones, gonadal function, fetal development, and pregnancy. So people must be aware of the negative effects of EMFs. Although the impact of the waves varied at different frequencies, it is better to stay as far away as possible from their origin because of the risks associated with exposures to these waves. In addition, people can use natural antioxidants to help reduce the effects of these waves."

A review on Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and the reproductive system: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5014506/

In short: stop carrying your phone on your body especially during pregnancy or when wanting to become pregnant as it may affect both your own fertility as well as your offspring’s development (autism is a big worry right now that seems to be linked to excessive EMF exposure).

Keep your phone 3 meters away from your body to limit EMF exposure when not using it, and stop scrolling on it like it is your best friend, cos it is not. We are all wasting our lives scrolling non-stop on these smart phones and all these smart devices are under suspicion for wrecking our health big time.

ARTICLE feature: Women’s Health - 7 Essential Supplements to Keep You Healthy

“As a woman, you have unique nutritional needs when compared to men. And in a perfect world, you’d meet all those requirements through a balanced diet. But in reality, eating healthy isn’t enough.

“A key thing I see a lot of women struggling with is being undernourished–in large part, due to depleted soil which results in our fruit and veggies only containing a fraction of nutrients compared to what they did 50 years ago,” says Christina Santini, clinical nutritionist and owner of The Nutrition Clinic in Los Angeles, CA. “This is easily a recipe for disaster because both our overall health and hormones along with our appetite control center is tightly regulated by how nutrient dense our diet is.”

So even if you eat a wholesome, balanced diet, proper supplementation is key–especially during the winter. Here are the best women’s supplements to keep you healthy and vital all season long–and for years to come.”

What to do about PFAS?

PFAS is a component of non-stick cookware made with Teflon, microwave popcorn, and is found in a variety of medications: anesthetics, nerve agents, antibiotics, antidepressants, antifungals, antihistamines, cholesterol-lowering medications, anti-malarials, chemotherapy, arthritis medications, psychotropics, and steroids. Of course, you should not stop taking vital medication for that reason, but it is important to know about the possible side effects. Possibly the most overlooked source in our immediate environment is our drinking and shower water.

Study finds: How long-term use of Botox actually accelerates skin aging

A 2016 study published in PLoS One found that Botox leads to loss in tissue density and bone volume, among other side effects. In short: Botox is not harmless and seems to accelerate skin aging (thin skin) when used long-term due to its muscle weakening effect.

If you are struggling to get off antidepressants you are not alone.

I highly recommend reading the work of Dr. James Greenblatt (MD) and getting his latest book specifically on how to get off antidepressants: read more about it here.

I do love Christmas time: the crackling of a fireplace, drinking hot cocoa with whipped cream and playing in the snow. However, I also see that this time comes with a lot of added expectations and feelings of loneliness for many. A recipe for pain for quite a few around this time a year, which is evident when taking the train and experiencing the delays that happen due to suicide. It is heartbreaking that someone can feel so lonely and that none of us have been able to help make that person feel better.

Life is sometimes very hard, yet it is crucial that we remember that everthing in life ebbs and flows - that nothing indeed is constant but change. Every feeling is only temporary. And if we are stuck in something too long, then we need to act our way out of it, so we can feel different and get unstuck. Implement habits and action steps that we might imagine we can enjoy in a future version of ourselves, even if it feels forced upon right now. Our ability to be happy and resilient in this life is directly tied to how we adapt to change - how flexible we are, so we do not get stuck.

You are only as healthy as the home you are living in! Hint: Are you sick and moldy?

I’ve been treating mold illness as one of the first practitioners in Europe since 2012. To this day it still surprises me how deeply unhealthy homes many of us live in, yet we are hyper focused on our eating habits. However, it doesn’t matter however healthy you eat, if you are literally inhaling toxins with every breath you take.

We need to master the basics of clean air, pure water supply and solid sleep in order to expect any miracles happening our way. These are basics we cannot eat our way out of nor exercise our way out of.

Some of us need to relax and eat a slice of cake and focus on what is really making us sick - which may have nothing to do with what we eat (or don’t eat).

This is why it is a good idea to get checked out, so we are not stuck guessing what is wrong with us and trying every new diet fad under the sun to no avail.

I wrote an article about how our moldy homes are making us unwell - read it here (in Danish only): https://lns.dk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/W2-22_LNS_NATUR-HELSE_2022_Maj.pdf (page 18 and on)

Your signature here to STOP 5G (stay connected but protected)

“Exposure from man-made EMF coming from our smartphones, wifi, cell towers and more has serious biological health effects. So far our limit values are established only on the basis of temperature rise, not on biological effects such as damage of internal organs or even of DNA and other damages according to studies from 2019 and 2020.

Scientific studies confirm that adverse health and biological effects, not only those related to temperature, can occur at intensities of a million times lower than current public exposure limits.

RF EMF is a burden and a stress factor for the body:

The report commissioned by the WHO International EMF Project (pg. 2 para 4) confirms that RF EMF affects organs, which include brain and reproductive organs and can lead to impaired cognitive functions and decreasing fertility.

Non-thermal health impacts of oxidative stress from Wi-Fi are confirmed in 23 controlled scientific studies.

Mobile phone radiation prevents repair mechanism of DNA damage [1]. It harms female fertility [2] and male fertility [3, 4], influences sperm quality [5, 6, 7, 8 ] and fetal development [9, 10, 11]. With 5G technology and millimetre waves the adverse health effects will be more significant.”

Early science: How your Smartphone may impact your pregnancy

We already know that men shouldn’t be carrying the phone in their pocket, if they want their guys to work. However, it is not a far fetch to think “huh - how about women? how might our excessive smartgadget use be affecting pregnancy amongst women?”

Well, here you go:

“The findings of this review showed that EMF radiation exposure is associated with hormonal, thermal, and cardiovascular changes among adults. However, the reviewed studies did not consider the impacts of EMF radiation exposure on pregnancy outcomes specifically, which makes it difficult to draw conclusions from this review. Only four of the reviewed studies were conducted among pregnant women. These studies reported that EMF radiation exposure during pregnancy is associated with miscarriages and fluctuations in the fetal temperature and heart rate variability, as well as infant anthropometric measures.”
