On today's show: 

This episode is FASCINATING (especially for all those science nerds out there like me). 

I came into this interview with a TON of questions and a desire to bust some myths about the ever-mysterious shungite as EMF protection.  

Here’s what it is all about - Research shows that one of the mechanisms of damage from EMF’s is oxidative stress that can result from the way the frequencies wreak havoc on cells, causing them to not function properly.  EMF can disrupt the voltage gated ion channels on our cell membranes--causing them to not open and close as they should. This leads to a cascade effect of oxidative stress, which we all want to avoid. 

That's why antioxidants are of recommended by functional medicine to help mitigate the effects of this stress on our systems. There are many types of antioxidants, but C60 is one that has become very popular in the last few years. To be honest, for a long time I avoided C60, because I had seen it discussed in shungite literature as a special component of shungite - and as the research is very, very weak when it comes to the “EMF Protection” capabilities’ of shungite I steered clear of anything having to do with it. However, then I met Ket Swartz -  A scientist and inventor who spent who spent time investigating both the power of C60 and whether or not shunghite has C60 (otherwise known as fullerenes) and multiple patent holder who happened on to the power of the C60 molecule in an effort to curb the effects of radiation exposure from his lab.

He became such a fan that he created his own C60 product and contributes to the C60.org website that provides education only on behalf of all C60 companies in an effort to separate the myth from reality by providing a source for all the research on the topic.

He’s tested several different Karelian shungite products for C60 and he shares his findings and helps us understand the confusion around fullerenes, C60 and shungite as well as explaining how c60 works.  

NOTE:  This is not a recommendation or endorsement of this antioxidant, I just wanted to share with you all the insight I received around the many questions I had.  

Be Well!

"I have decided a lot to make these one-time decisions that have large impacts on our family.

So, we've looked at schools in the past and there has been 5G towers right across the street from the school. And that was a big no, even no matter how much we loved the school. My kid was not going to be there for 30 plus hours a week next to a 5G tower." [00:08:44] – Alexis Fedor

"He made the decision to get rid of the app. He even went to his Nana and said, Nana, I want you to delete the app because it's not helping. It gives me bad dreams. I don't like the way it makes me feel." [00:12:55] – Alexis Fedor

"The constant changing of the screen, the color, the music, it feels like you're on drugs. Even as an adult. I watched this stuff and I'm perplexed that kids could even sit in front of this and for hours and hours, and then you take 'em away and then they have meltdowns." [00:15:42] – Alexis Fedor
