Alles in Englisch, aber sehr gut geschrieben.
Wir haben hier in der Schweiz einen der bestinformierten Forscher, was dieses Thema anbelangt: Hertel! Wendet euch an ihn, wenn ihr etwas wissen wollt. Persönlich kenne ich eine Freundin des Erfinders, die mir bestätigt hat, dass dieser selber sagte, nur ja nicht davor zustehen, denn alle Mikrowellenöfen strahlen. Alle an der Erfindung beteiligten, waren sich einig, dass es zu gefährlich sei.
Mikrowellenöfen wurden sogar durch die Nazis verboten! Und in Russland wurden sie auch verboten!
nun macht man das grosse Geschäft damit.
MICROWAVE COOKING
Microwave cooking is one of the most important causes
of ill health. It is certainly one of the most
ignored.
There was a lawsuit in 1991 in Oklahoma. A woman named
Norma Levitt had hip surgery, but was killed by a
simple blood transfusion when a nurse "warmed the
blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven!"
Logic suggests that if heating is all there is to
microwave cooking, then it doesn't matter how
something is heated. Blood for transfusions is
routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. Does it
not therefore follow that microwaving cooking does
something quite different?
A little evidence of the harm caused by microwaving
cooking was given by the University of Minnesota in a
radio announcement:
"Microwaves ... are not recommended for heating a
baby's bottle. The bottle may seem cool to the touch,
but the liquid inside may become extremely hot and
could burn the baby's mouth and throat... Heating the
bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the
milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of some
vitamins. In expressed breast milk, some protective
properties may be destroyed.... Warming a bottle by
holding it under tap water or by setting it in a bowl
of warm water, then testing it on your wrist before
feeding, may take a few minutes longer, but it is much
safer".
There have been very few scientific studies done on
the effect of eating food microwaved food. This is
rather surprising when you think about the fact that
microwaves have been with us for only a few decades -
and that in that time the incidence of many diseases
has continued to increase.
Two researchers, Blanc and Hertel, confirmed that
microwave cooking significantly changes food
nutrients. Hertel previously worked as a food
scientist for several years with one of the major
Swiss food companies. He was fired from his job for
questioning procedures in processing food because they
denatured it. He got together with Blanc of the Swiss
Federal Institute of Biochemistry and the University
Institute for Biochemistry.
They studied the effect that microwaved food had on
eight individuals, by taking blood samples immediately
after eating. They found that after eating microwaved
food, haemoglobin levels decreased. "These results
show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even
more pronounced during the second
month of the study".
Who knows what results they would have found if they
had studied people who ate microwaved food for a year
or more?
The violent change that microwaving causes to the food
molecules forms new life forms called radiolytic
compounds. These are mutations that are unknown in the
natural world. Ordinary cooking also causes the
formation of some radiolytic compounds (which is no
doubt one reason why it is better to eat
plenty of raw food), but microwaving cooking causes a
much greater number. This then causes deterioration in
your blood and immune system.
In addition, they found that the number of leucocytes
increases after eating microwaved food - something
which haematologists take very seriously, because this
is often a sign of highly harmful effects, such as
poisoning.
Also, after eating microwaved food, cholesterol levels
increased. Hertel said "Common scientific belief
states that cholesterol values usually alter slowly
over longer periods of time. In this study, the
markers increased rapidly after the consumption of the
microwaved vegetables." He believes his
study tends to confirm new scientific data that
suggest cholesterol may rapidly increase in the blood
secondary to acute stress. "Also," he added, "blood
cholesterol levels are less influenced by cholesterol
content of food than by stress factors. Such
stress-causing factors can apparently consist of foods
which contain virtually no cholesterol - the
microwaved
vegetables."
The results were published in "Search for Health" in
the Spring of 1992. How was this research greeted? A
powerful trade organisation, the Swiss Association of
Dealers for Electroapparatuses for Households and
Industry somehow made the President of the Court of
Seftigen issue a `gag order'.
Hertel and Blanc were told that if they published
their findings they would face hefty fines or up to
one year in prison. In response to this, Blanc
recanted his findings. Hertel, on the other hand, went
on a lecture tour and demanded a jury trial.
FINALLY, in 1998 the Court `Gag Order' was removed.
In a judgment delivered at Strasbourg on 25 August
1998 in the case of Hertel v. Switzerland, the
European Court of Human Rights held that there had
been a violation of Hertel's rights in the 1993
decision. The Court decided that the `gag order'
prohibiting him form declaring that microwaved food is
dangerous to health was contrary to the right to
freedom of expression. In addition, Switzerland was
sentenced to pay compensation of F40,000.
In Summary: Blanc and Hertel found that eating
microwaved food:
* Increases cholesterol
* Increases white blood cell numbers
* Decreases red blood cell numbers
* Causes production of radiolytic compounds
(compounds unknown in nature)

RUSSIANS BAN MICROWAVE OVENS
After the World War II, the Russians also experimented
with microwave ovens. From 1957 up to recently, their
research has been carried out mainly at the Institute
of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia. According
to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of
the results of Russian and German research - and was
apparently prosecuted for doing so (J. Nat. Sci, 1998;
1:42-3) - the following effects were observed by
Russian forensic teams:
1. Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently
for human consumption created:
* d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing
agent)
* Destabilization of active protein biomolecular
compounds
* Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the
atmosphere
* Creation of cancer-causing agents within
protein-hydrosylate compounds in milk and cereal
grains;
2. Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the
catabolic (breakdown) behavior of glucoside - and
galactoside - elements within frozen fruits when
thawed in this way;
3. Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of
plant-alkaloids when raw, cooked or frozen vegetables
were exposed for even very short periods;
4. Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within
certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant
substances, especially in raw root vegetables;
5. Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher
percentage of cancerous cells in blood;
6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances,
malfunctions occurred in the lymphatic system, causing
degeneration of the immune systems capacity to protect
itself against cancerous growth;
7. The unstable catabolism of microwaved foods altered
their elemental food substances, leading to disorders
in the digestive system;
8. Those ingesting micro-waved foods showed a
statistically higher incidence of stomach and
intestinal cancers, plus a general degeneration of
peripheral cellular tissues with a gradual breakdown
of digestive and excretory system
function;
9. Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in
the nutritional value of all foods studied,
particularly:
* A decrease in the bioavailability of B-complex
vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and
lipotrophics
* Destruction of the nutritional value of
nucleoproteins in meats
* Lowering of the metabolic activity of alkaloids,
glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides (all basic
plant substances in fruits and vegetables)
* Marked acceleration of structural disintegration in
all foods.
As a result microwave ovens were banned in Russia in
1976; the ban was lifted after Perestroika.

Standing in front of a microwave is also highly
damaging to your health. Perhaps you have already felt
this intuitively? We know that cells explode in the
microwave - just fry an egg in your microwave. We are
made up of trillions of cells. So work out how many
are getting damaged if you stand in front of your
microwave for 5-10 minutes.
In the past I had been told that it was important for
people to stop eating microwaved food, but I did not
pay too much attention to this because I had been
microwave cooking for years. I never thought much
about it but I suppose that I figured that if
something was so bad for us, then there wouldn't be so
many people using it. Little did I know.
When I first began seeing clients for sessions of
kinesiology, I did not worry too much about telling
them to give up eating microwaved food. However, I
kept a record of all of the corrections that were
needed for each client when they came in. Now, once a
correction is made, it is to be hoped that the
correction will stay in place for a long time to come,
hopefully
months if not years. People often ask me "How long
will it last?" May answer to them is "That depends on
your lifestyle".
Most of my clients came back to see me after about two
weeks. In the early days I found that many who came
back were not much better. I found that they were
again `out of balance'. That is, their electrical
circuits were not working correctly (which is common
for many people). It was therefore not surprising that
they were not much better, because the body does not
begin
to fully fix itself until the electrical circuits are
in balance.
The question was, why did their electrical circuits go
out of balance? The answer had to be something that
was highly stressful, to effect the body in such a
short space of time. Once that answer was remedied,
the client would begin to get better. Using muscle
testing, I went through the process of testing if the
cause was electrical, chemical/nutritional, emotional
or structural. Again and again the same answer would
come up - electrical. When I then went through a range
of possible electrical causes, the same answer again
came up again and again - the person had eaten
microwaved food!
Incidentally, this answer never came up when a person
had NOT eaten microwaved food.
I began to tell all of my clients on the first visit
that under NO
circumstances were they ever to do microwaved cooking
again. I gave this a higher priority than any of
things that are normally considered as health risks,
such as cigarettes or alcohol. Immediately I began to
get a marked improvement in the results I was getting.
Long-term problems such as headaches, backaches and
emotional instability went away within a few weeks.
Other kinesiologists can confirm these results. David
Bridgman, who has years of experience as a
kinesiologist, said "Of all the people I test for
allergies, 99.9% so far show severe sensitivity to any
microwaved food".
I experienced the effect of eating microwaved food for
myself one time. I had been doing quite a lot of
kinesiology and feeling on top of the world when for
no apparent reason I began to feel rather `gray' and
rather low. I realised that I needed a balance from a
kinesiologist. Sure enough, I was out of balance. When
the kinesiologist used muscle testing to see why my
body had gone out of balance, the answer came up ...
microwaved food! The trouble was, I couldn't remember
eating any. Until I remembered a particular vegetarian
restaurant I had been to. When I went back to the
restaurant and asked them if they microwaved their
food, they told me that they did.
So be warned! Many restaurants use microwaved cooking,
even `health' restaurants. Ask if the "steamed
vegetables" are in fact steamed - or are they
microwaved? I have sent meals back when they have not
been what they were described on the menu, much to the
surprise of the restaurant owners.
The alternative to heating up or defrosting food is to
place it in a
saucepan with a little water and lid. Or use a
convection oven.

MICROWAVED PLASTIC WRAP HAS 10,000,000 TIMES FDA
LIMITS OF CARCINOGENS!
Sent to me by a reader:
Hello Folks. Hopefully all of you are already well
enough informed so as to avoid the use of a microwave
oven due to the many detrimental effects consuming
microwaved food has upon our health, but "just in
case", here is some interesting info sent to me by Ron
Scanlon -- many thanks, Ron! Cheers,
Doug

As a seventh grade student, Claire Nelson learned that
di(ethylhexyl)adepate (DEHA), considered a carcinogen,
is found in plastic wrap. She also learned that the
FDA had never studied the effect of microwave cooking
on plastic-wrapped food. Three years later, with
encouragement from her high
school science teacher, Claire set out to test what
the FDA had not.
Although she had an idea for studying the effect of
microwave radiation on plastic wrapped food, she did
not have the equipment. Eventually, Dr. Jon Wilkes at
the National Center for Toxicological Research agreed
to help her.
The research center, which is affiliated with the FDA,
let her use its facilities to perform her experiments,
which involved microwaving plastic wrap in virgin
olive oil.
Claire tested four different plastic wraps and "found
not just the
carcinogens but also xenoestrogen was migrating [into
the oil]...."Xenoestrogens are linked to low sperm
counts in men and to breast cancer in women.
Throughout her junior and senior years, Claire made a
couple of trips each week to the research center,
which was 25 miles from her home, to work
on her experiment. An article in Options reported "her
analysis found that DEHA was migrating into the oil at
between 200 parts and 500 parts per million. The FDA
standard is 0.05 parts per billion."
Her summarized results have been published in science
journals. Claire Nelson received the American Chemical
Society's top science prize for students during her
junior year and fourth place at the International
Science and Engineering Fair (Fort Worth, Texas) as a
senior. "Carcinogens â€"

So, it's up to you. One point to bear in mind is that
our society runs pretty much on money. The
multinational companies who make microwave ovens make
a lot from the sale of them. There is no money in
telling people to stop microwave cooking. There is,
however, the satisfaction of knowing that you are
saving people's lives and future happiness by
spreading the word to
stop eating microwaved food.
ALTERNATIVES
You can heat food quickly in a convection oven. It's
just an ordinary oven with a fan.
You can also easily and quickly heat up food, even
frozen pasta, by using a saucepan with a lid and a
little water, to moisten it from the steam.
If someone is coming home late, and you want to give
them warm food when they arrive, put a saucepan lid
over the food while it is on a plate. Put the plate of
food on a simmering saucepan of water. It will stay
warm without drying up.
If you want to cook food, do it the old fashioned ways
- it tastes much better that way!

Irradiation of Food: (Note: Irradiation is not the
same as microwaving, but they are similar in that both
use unnatural frequencies to alter food).
The Cornell University in 1977 irradiated some sugar
and fed it to rats. The type of cell damage shown on
post mortem was the same as if the rats themselves had
been irradiated!
Irradiation of Food: Public Citizen has released the
English translation of a recent German study revealing
that a chemical formed in irradiated food can damage
DNA.
The study confirms what safe-food advocates have known
for more than thirty years: that exposing food to
ionising radiation can lead to the formation of
bizarre new chemicals called "unique radiolytic
products" that can cause serious health problems.
One such chemical, known as 2-DCB, caused "significant
DNA damage" in the colons of rats that ate the
substance. The chemical - which, ironically is a
well-known "marker" for determining whether food has
been irradiated" - has
never been found naturally in any food on earth.
The study was conducted in 1998 under the auspices of
two prominent pro-irradiation organizations. IT was
performed at one of the most prestigious food
irradiation labs in the world: the Federal Research
Centre for Nutrition in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Public Citizen released an English translation of the
study at a meeting on 13 February at the US Food and
kein Ersatz Administration in Washington DC.
So, it's up to you. One point to bear in mind is that
