Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Rhonda, Tell me what you had to do to get rid of it? We just built a new house and there is a big fancy new one installed over my stove....admittedly it's there, so I use it. It's sooo convenient.... Pleeeeeeeease give me a good argument that I can use on the rest of the family...they think they'll move backward into the 15th century if they don't have adn use it. The real justification is that there are too many starving boys around here who want instant gratification meals (adult and otherwise)... lol! Wren P.S.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Wren, Just remember you asked ;o) Mine wasn't built in so that helped. I actually sold it at our yard sale (only got $10 for it as they are abundant at yard sales). If you truly want motivation to stop using it just read the link below: http://apricotsfromgod.info/microwaves.htm I got that link from one of the yahoo groups I'm on - may have been this one? I save everything I think I'll want to refer back to later, but forget who posted it. Immediately after reading it I stopped using the microwave for about 2 weeks until our yard sale. By then I was more than ready to have it gone and have more counter space. I emailed the article to my Mom who had to think about it for a few weeks while still using hers. I noticed last week Mom's counter in now microwaveless (at least for now-a small part of her motivation was to reclaim more counterspace). Below is a summary (a teaser if you will) of the article, which is long, but it should convince you. If only half of this is true... Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following: 1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by " shorting out " electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue]. 2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by- products created in microwaved food. 3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods. 4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body. 5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down. 6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens. 7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America. 8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood. 9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations. 10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence. Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet? Please read the rest of the article - it'll take about 10 minutes or so, but it is the most compelling thing I've ever read on the dangers of microwaving. What I felt after reading the article was how I felt after reading " The Untold Story of Milk " - and that is that we've been lied to and we've come to believe what *they've* programmed us to believe. Now if someone out there has the very, very most convincing reason why I should toss out my teflon...(I've seen the expose' on TV, I just don't have the money for new skillets yet.)

The apricot info and testimonials on that site are amazing as well. I personally recommended the seeds to a friend, and her terminal tumors disappeared and have not returned. She was not going to live before she started taking the seeds. It was dramatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 , Thank you for the reminder, and mainly thank you for article. At work I sit within viewing distance from the break room at work and see people of all ages all sizes buy from the vending machines or bring their own food in and zap it in the microwave. Isn't it funny how we've even been fond of saying that we are going to *nuke* the food. I think people instinctively know it's bad but do it anyway out of convenience. And several of the gals have diabetes and bring their own home cooked cabbage rolls or stew, which was probably very nutritious, then zap it in the microwave. And the call center director was so pleased that they were able to put 3 microwaves in the new break room! I've not been bold enough to spread the news about the microwave, coconut oil, or raw milk. Think I'll break outta my *let's-not-rock-the-boat shell* and start speaking up at work. I've also lost 16 lbs since the 1st of Feb, so all this wonderful healthy saturated fat will be a testamony all on it's own. I haven't looked over the rest of that website. Now you've got my curiousity going. Rhonda > http://apricotsfromgod.info/microwaves.htm > > I got that link from one of the yahoo groups I'm on - may have been > this one?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Microwaved food is plain gross. Looks gross, tastes gross. That's what got me to hardly ever use mine, the sensual factor PLUS I think they are another of those horrid, useless inventions that we don't need and that we become dependent on and someone makes money off of and then we get sick and then the medical industrial makes money off of us and then .. . . AMY --who is really enjoying the dessert recipes and made a lovely peach cobbler with sweet cream cheese last night that she plans on eating a bite of very soon to top off her eggs and cream breakfast.
