For the first time in a thousand years, Americans are experiencing a reversal in lifespan. Despite living in one of the safest and most secure eras in human history, one in five adults suffers from anxiety as does one-third of adolescents. Nearly half of the US population is overweight or obese and one-third of Americans suffer from chronic pain – the highest level in the world. In the United States, fatalities due to prescription pain medications now surpass those of heroin and cocaine combined, and each year 10% of all students on American college campuses contemplate suicide. With the proliferation of social media and the algorithms for social sharing that prey upon our emotional brains, inaccurate or misleading health articles and videos now move faster through social media networks than do reputable ones. This book is about modern health – or lack of it. The authors make two key arguments: that our deteriorating wellness is rapidly becoming a health emergency, and two, that much of these trends are rooted in the way our highly evolved hardwired brains and bodies deal with modern social change. The co-authors: a PhD from the world of social science and an MD from the world of medicine – combine forces to bring this emerging human crisis to light. Densely packed with fascinating facts and little-told stories, the authors weave together real-life cases that describe how our ancient evolutionary drives are propelling us toward ill health and disease. Over the course of seven chapters, the authors unlock the mysteries of our top health vices: why hospitals are more dangerous than warzones, our addiction to sugar, salt, and stress, our emotionally-driven brains, our relentless pursuit of happiness, our sleepless society, our understanding of risk, and finally, how world history can be a valuable tutor. Through these varied themes, the authors illustrate how our social lives are more of a determinant of health outcome than at any other time in our history, and to truly understand our plight, we need to recognize when our decisions and behavior are being directed by our survival-seeking hardwired brains and bodies.

[This is the new edition of Wireless Radiation Rescue.] This generation spends most of their time inside, on digital devices, immersed in harmful levels of wireless radiation. Many are tech-obsessed and disconnected - from themselves, each other and the natural world. Most parents and grandparents are unknowingly putting their children - born and unborn - at risk with the unsafe use of all things wired and wireless. We want our children to be tech-savvy, but we also want them healthy - they can be connected in this digital age in much safer ways - at home and at school. And many people are taking great care to age well but missing a key strategy - living in a safer-tech environment. Here's what all of us need to know: the research and recommendations with easy and affordable solutions from the world's leading experts: How to keep the convenience of digital and mobile devices and reduce the potential health hazards - at all stages of life: - Pregnancy and Parenting - from conception to college - and beyond require safer-tech solutions as never before, as the born and unborn are exposed to harmful - government-sanctioned - levels of radiation: wired and wireless; - The mindful use of technology so we don't become tech-obsessed with the latest on digital addiction and our digital detox program - discovering the delights of unplugging now and then and reconnecting with ourselves, each other and the natural world; - New discoveries for healthy aging in this digital age. Our international team of experts also offer in this guide: A summary of the science: A detailed survey to assess risks and symptoms Simple strategies targeting: sleep problems, dizziness, headaches, tingling in the hands, ringing in the ears, eye pain, bloodshot eyes, skin rashes, cardiac symptoms, electro-sensitivity, ADD/ADHD, autism. Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, MD offers his endorsement, "I highly recommend Dr. Crofton's ground-breaking book. It is well-researched and informative. Electro-pollution is the greatest medical threat of our time. These recommendations will benefit all." And leading epidemiologist and expert in this field, Devra Davis, PhD Nobel co-laureate and author of Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation says, "Signals from cell phones reach more deeply into children's thinner skulls and smaller brains. This book is a wake-up call with solutions." WE HUMANS, EACH WONDROUSLY UNIQUE and complex, have an inborn healthiness that is based partially on all the electrical fields - within and around us - being in harmony. And, our heart and brain cells have their own delicate electrical integrity. Our modus operandi, our wellbeing, so to speak, relies on being attuned in this way. We are overwhelming this natural state with a new environmental health hazard - the smog of electro-pollution. The waves of microwave radiation - from mobile phones and all Wi-Fi devices - are powerful enough to blast data through concrete. Imagine how easily this radiation travels through us, and our vulnerable children. Good news: this is a wake-up call with easy-to-implement solutions. This wellness guide reveals how government-sanctioned levels of radiation, from all things wired and wireless, can be harmful to our health - and how to use all of these electronics more safely. Our medical team cautions about a range of potential side effects: exposure without symptoms (you don't feel anything but harm is still occurring, ) mild to moderate symptoms, and electro-sensitivity. And they offer: how to recognize and treat symptoms and how to age well: from conception to college - and beyond. For ourselves, our children, and grandchildren. Not just ours - everyone's.
