| Posted: 24 Nov 2014 01:00 PM PST  Cal Jam 2014 was one of the biggest chiropractic events of the year, and I was fortunate enough to be a guest speaker on the important topic of natural health. I was joined by fellow speakers Dr. Joseph Mercola, Andrew Wakefield, and Joe Dispenza, just to name a few. Over 2,000 physicians, naturopathic practitioners, and health enthusiasts from all over the world attended the event. I am extremely pleased to announce that I will be speaking at Cal Jam in 2015, an event that is expected to have more audience members than ever.

| Could Your Smart Tablet Be Damaging to Your Health? Posted: 24 Nov 2014 07:00 AM PST  Smart tablets, phones, and personal computers are all the rage in today's technology-driven society, and it doesn't look like the trend will ever cease. These devices have made life easier than ever before by acting as a singular storage unit for contacts, documents, money, and social networks. Despite their convenience, many companies are still loading their products with hazardous chemicals that are contributing to our environmental crisis. A new report is showing that many tablets and phones are using Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in their manufacture, chemicals that are drastically affecting the health of consumers.
The Hidden Dangers of TechnologyToday's technology is undeniably helpful in many ways as it has improved communication, medicine, and even grassroots projects. Gadgets have also helped to improve awareness around natural health, as many people find their health information online via smartphones and tablets. Unfortunately, the hazardous chemicals used in their production can contribute to a wide range of health issues. Polyvinyl chloride, for example, contains dioxins and other chemicals that have been linked to cancer. [1] Phthalates are often added to PVC, and these chemicals have concerns for neural health. [2] Flame retardants, despite their dubious benefits, also pose a serious threat to human health. Brominated flame retardants and PBDEs are making their way into consumers and interfering with thyroid health. [3] This new research is causing many countries to begin slowly eliminating the use of these chemicals in products like tablets and computers. Still, many flame retardants and other chemicals continued to be used in the production of smartphones, tablets, and computers, despite the research showing negative health effects. What You Can Do to Protect Yourself Against Hazardous ChemicalsTechnology is practically an unavoidable aspect of life these days, especially in the workplace. Look for companies that use fewer chemicals in their products. You can check out Greenpeace's website to see where your favorite products are on the toxic scale. Be sure to also reduce exposure to your computer or phone's LED lighting at night, as this may interfere with circadian rhythms. A regular cleansing or detox regime may also be helpful for reducing the unavoidable toxins you are exposed to every day. Reduce or eliminate furniture with flame retardants to provide an extra step in your protection protocol. -Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM References:
