Green Earth Society Monthly Email – February 2008
Dear Valued Members & Customers,
An early “Kung
Hei Fat Choy”
to you!
Year end
thorough clean-up - Environmental friendly
household cleaning products
Studies found
that many household products, which claim to
be safe, are actually toxic to some degree
or another. A multitude of common symptoms
such as “headaches” and
“depression” can be related to exposure
to household toxics. In Hong Kong, many
people suffer from insomnia, which is listed
in toxicology books as a common symptom from
exposure to the formaldehyde resin used in
our beddings and clothing to keep them
wrinkle-free.
When a person
has good health, is emotionally well
balanced, not under stress, does not drink,
smoke or take drugs, gets adequate
nutrition, exercises regularly and has
adequate rest, he/she may probably be able
to withstand the barrage of toxic
substances, i.e. the immune system is in
good condition too. But as household toxics
are harmful and when our health is off
balanced, such as when we have a minor cold,
our resistance and tolerance ability toward
household pollutants lessens. To choose safe
household cleaning products, please

Radiation from Mobile Phones
The mobile Phone has
become a necessity of life and we just cannot live
without it. But there’s a catch to this modern day
convenience …, the radiation (radio frequency and
electromagnetic frequency) generated from mobile
phones is hazardous to our health.
To minimize harmful
exposure to the radiation, we should:
l Minimize
our exposure to this type of radiation by reducing the
amount of time spent on mobile phones (use fixed-line),
l Choose
a mobile phone with low radiation (radio frequency and
electromagnetic frequency),
l Use
radiation shield products such as
RF Blocker Bead and
Radio Frequency and Microwave Cell Phone Shield. |
