Electro is a form of environmental pollution from artificially generated electricity. The constant action of non-organic fields stimulate our bodies day and night and build tension (= stress) in our bodies.

This stress is a built up tension going through electricity, we call it electro-stress. AC 50Hz and high frequency radiation (also used by GSM and DECT phones) generate fields that can cause various diseases including leukemia and brain tumors. Other consequences could include cardiac arrhythmias, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders and hypertension.

The causes are phone masts, mobile phones and the presence of other various electromagnetic fields such as radio, television and computer. Each electrical appliance gives off electromagnetic radiation.

Electro allergy: Some electronic equipment and systems distributing electrical and electromagnetic fields who makes sensitive persons feel tired, confused, sick or ill.

Microwave: microwaves heat the food ensure a mess of the food product. It is very unnatural. The microwaves are based on the principle of alternating electricity. The atoms, molecules and cells have a blast radiation and forced to convert polarity 1-100000000000000 times per second. This creates friction and heat.

Everyday we surf many hours on the Internet or doing our work on the PC. A number of complaints we receive are related to eyestrain: itchy, dry or red eyes, blurred vision or headaches.

How to explain this eye fatigue?
Eyestrain is basically an adjustment problem. To focus our eyes to see, we are constantly updating, a burden on the muscles. We are fast scanning basically parts of the screen, not all equally far from our eyes and not always very clear. During the scan our eyes blink less frequently. This results into dry eyes and visual discomfort.

Environmental factors also play a role: dry air, cigarette smoke, air conditioning, fans, lighting.

When does the eyestrain appears?
The first symptoms may appear after a few hours. The complaints are becoming more common, the focus of the eyes is even more difficult. We go further and further away from the screen to be able to see sharp. On the day that we make less use of the PC we give our eyes a little more rest.

What can we do to prevent for eye problems?

• The distance between the computer and your eyes should be 50 to 70 cm;
• desk or table is not too high: the edge of the screen just below eye level;
• no daylight reflecting on the screen, choose light from the side;
• Avoid bright light from lamps or other lights behind the screen;
• prevent dry eyes, watch the humidity, place water bowls, window open, etc;
• regularly visit an optician or ophthalmologist to monitor the strength of your glasses or lenses.

Every day people, animals and plants in a house produce about 10 liters water. Besides the air is polluted by cooking smells, smoke and substances that cause allergies. Ventilation performs these moist and polluted air. Use the vents in your home as intended and does not deter them.

For proper ventilation we need a continuing poor air flow of contaminated air and fresh air to enter. Good ventilation means ventilation 24 hours a day. This requires facilities such as ventilation grills and skylights.

To decrease humidity ventilate well after cooking, showering and sleeping your home. Only airing (ie the windows opened a little while) is not enough. After half an hour the fresh air is gone and moisture and certain substances are back in the house.

The current diseases due to the environment are mainly

• Strengthening symptoms of conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, for example air.
• Serious annoyance, sleep disturbance, impaired concentration and impairment of daily activities by noise.
• Feelings of insecurity and alienation, to feel unhealthy and be concerned about food safety.
• In addition, in recent years the society is increasingly asking about environmental health whose effects are still insufficiently known. Think of masts, mobile phones, endocrine disrupters (estrogens) and genetically modified organisms.

Thirty to forty percent have been suffering from an allergy, often combined with asthma. And the percentage of allergic disorders in the coming years will only increase further.

About ten to fifteen years more than half of the population will suffer from an allergy. Most of the year they are sneezing, having teary eyes or skin problems.

An allergy is very common. I would almost say you are different if you are not allergic. Allergies are among the Western lifestyle. Why? Scientists have no clear answer.

The innate immunity against bacteria and germs from newborn disappears as children grow up. Except for children who live on a farm, or babies during their first year going to the nursery. Allergies and asthma in those groups are less.

And if you think allergy is luxury, it is anything like it. Itching may be worse than pain. An attack of angina feels like a very fat man sitting on top of your chest.

In the event of an auto-immune disease the immunesystem can not distinguish between foreign substances and its own body tissue. There are produced antibodies or white blood cells that attack its own tissue. The cause is often unknown, but certain factors such as heredity, infection or sensitivity to drugs can induce an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are often chronic.

Prevention and treatment:
The n3 fatty acids are important fats (not made by the body) necessary for the functioning of the body. They are useful for preventing or treating heart disease and stroke, perhaps autoimmune diseases such as eczema, rheumatoid arthritis and many other ailments. Unfortunately there are not many n3 fatty acids in the average diet as before. You get them from fish, linseed (oil), walnuts (oil).
