The Power of No

In the last year there are whole populations of people that are beginning to say no, many for the first time in their lives. But one area of our lives where people seem to be hesitant to say no is when it comes to sitting in front of their doctor. We should be able to tell our doctors very private things and be confident that it is not being recorded for thousands of people to see for years to come.

A Fib About A-Fib

One of the most interesting questions to ask is whether A-Fib has always been the case for people and just never noticed or whether it is a more recent development such as Lyme Disease. One thing to consider is the effect on the heart of something that is also a recent development, wireless communication and RF exposure. I’ve recently been writing about this although many others have written about this for far longer. It’s becoming an epidemic and one that is not well understood nor well studied in its effect on our health.
