Nutritional Support http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/ACFDE3B9-842D-4FE2-9B3E-71DD6C4113D6/902169943 http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/B02C095D-E7E8-42F9-B3FB-B2EFDB38BFAE/1824703254 Minimizing the histamine effect Support cellular and tissue integrity with nutrients Support cellular and tissue integrity by minimizing all insults Local seasonal foods offer some protection against other histamine stresses http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/1325E324-0FA7-416C-9C83-CF09AE89CE75/1506993674 Using the triage hypothesis
 to minimize deficiencies All biologic stresses affect nutrient levels Nutrient protection is relatively inexpensive The body prioritizes when nutrients are deficient http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/0D442593-D517-4484-85BB-AE18EC01448E/178341811 Assisting DNA repair Repair constantly takes place in the body, slowing with age Cumulative EMF effects may increase genetic and cancer risks http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/9319332A-241D-490C-8035-3A1F12F60BF3/341362346 Supporting mitochondrial function Mitochondria are the energy factories of the body Energy is required for tissue responses and repair Mitochondria are vulnerable to their own oxidation products Some antioxidants may recycle and protect other antioxidants http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/6AE12784-3437-47CC-8C29-B958566D0FAC/1619773608 Optimizing membrane and receptor 
function in spite of calcium efflux Membrane receptor functions are vital life processes Adequate mineral levels may be helpful if exposures are low Adequate mineral levels  may not be a match for calcium channel effects http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/7361420A-F2E1-4D18-90E5-B0D449B13BBA/772047345 http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/0D414DA9-11B5-4B95-87C7-F5A405435A30/2141067010 Reducing circadian disruption by effects
on cryptochrome, melatonin Many species, including humans, have cryptochrome Circadian rhythms are under stress from EMF, artificial light Melatonin levels, reduced by EMF, affect circadian functions Cryptochrome, affected by EMF, is associated with circadian functions http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/E7176913-4022-4A71-92B7-D89F4B3AB839/1254295378 http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/CE015A63-BFC0-4563-8DD5-8F7162AF3EFF/501614168 Reducing free radical damage, 
preserving free radical oscillatory activity Low melatonin increases oxidant effects The stress of EMF may deplete antioxidants Damage to chromosomes may affect germ cells Damage to chromosomes may cause serious pathology Antioxidants protect tissues by "neutralizing" free radicals Some free radical activity is required for oscillatory activity Some free radical activity is required for immune system function http://www.wireless-precaution.com/main/nutrition.php Short Summary of Nutritional Protections http://www.novamind.com/connect/nm_documents/show_branch/Power/61CC0215-2A18-4E7C-956A-9CD5D0C305C1/210114345 Map of nutrient-dense foods Studies http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1667438 Vitamin C and MF http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18833487 EMF aggravates under-nutrition http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9338632 MF effects on B12 dependent enzymes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15777847 ELF redox effects blunted by vitamin E http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19086584 Antioxidants depleted by mobile phones http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12731401 Vitamin E, melatonin, static magnetic field http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9837779 Vitamin E suppressed genotoxicosis of MF http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11017883 Possible effect of diet affecting EMF cancer http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20872091 ELF magnetic fields, decreased Ca, Mg, Zn http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17674954 Oxidation, antioxidant status, mobile phones http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11342167 Vitamin E, EF and membrane destabilization http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21293955 Green tea polyphenols protect brain from MW http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16342473 Mobile phone oxidative stress, propolis extract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14734207 Gingko prevents mobile phone oxidative stress http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15194239 Membrane signaling, fatty acid breakdown, ELF http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/464968 Electromagnetic hypothesis of space osteoporosis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16227645 Zinc prevents alterations from static magnetic fields http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11002469 Vitamin C levels decrease in EMF exposed workers http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18536493 Vitamins E, C, protection against RF oxidative stress http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12361700 MF, testicular effects helped by l-carnitine and co-Q-10 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17077123 Electric field vs. chemical signaling of calcium channel function http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16132682 Mobile phone oxidative stress, kidneys, melatonin, propolis extract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9837779 Vitamin E, catalase, SOD beneficial against some MF cell proliferation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20807176 Mobile phone radiation-induced free radical damage, helped by NAC, EGCG

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR REDUCING EMF EXPOSURES. BECAUSE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MOST OF US, WE MAY TRY TO MINIMIZE SOME OF THE ADVERSE EFFECTS. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT FOOD AND SUPPLEMENT SUPPORT MAY STRENGTHEN OUR TISSUE RESPONSES, OR AT LEAST HELP US REPAIR SOME OF THE DAMAGE.

NO SPECIFIC OR PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE INTENDED BY THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS MAP. PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONER BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY THERAPEUTIC REGIMEN.
