    You only drink purified water. You take care of yourself and your family's health. But could there be a silent, invisible danger causing potential harm to you and your loved ones? There could. And it's called electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation and its one of fastest growing health issues facing our society. EMF radiation produced by modern technology such as cell phones, tablets, laptops, Wi-Fi, and smart meters is an emerging health threat, and we are all guinea pigs in a giant experiment with many unknown consequences.BUT AREN'T THESE TECHNOLOGIES REGULATED AND SAFE?Surely the government and other regulatory agencies make sure these technologies are completely safe before they are approved for wide-spread use, right? Think again. Ninety-five percent of American adults use cell phones regularly. Most households have Wi-Fi. And even schools are increasingly becoming dependent on wireless devices. And yet none of these technologies have been proven safe to humans for long-term exposure.In fact, science confirms that the EMF emitted from common electronic devices can cause definite biological changes in the body, and mounting research has already shown it can lead to a long list of health concerns - some of which can be pretty serious.The explosive use of mobile devices only occurred over the last twenty years, yet we have only scratched the surface of what technology is yet to come. Children born today will be exposed to much higher doses of EMF radiation than those born just ten years ago. What are the ramifications and what can we do now to minimize the fallout?IN 'RADIATION NATION' YOU WILL LEARN:⁍What EMF radiation is and how it affects the body biologically⁍The major health risks including fertility issues for both men and women, DNA damage, cell mutation, cancer and other serious health risks⁍The latest scientific studies broken down by disease or condition ⁍How EMF radiation specifically affects children and those suffering with electromagnetic hypersensitivity⁍Why the current safety standards for EMF are insufficient and need to be rewritten⁍The EMF sources of greatest concern⁍The most practical precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones from EMF radiation⁍What is 5G and what are the possible health risks?⁍Do stickers, diodes, harmonizers and other products marketing as protection have any grounding in science?IS THERE A SOLUTION? Fortunately, there are simple and effective steps you can take to minimize the risks. Education is key. Wish a foreword by Bulletproof's Dave Asprey, 'RADIATION NATION' is info-packed with all the essential education you need to make smart choices to stay safe when it comes to technology.RUNNING TIME ➪ 2hrs. and 55mins.©2017 Daniel T.

    Each object is plotted on a detailed, easy-to-use star map, and most of these sights can be found even in a light-polluted sky.

    . . and one of nature’s last truly wild foods: the uncultivated, uncontrollable mushroom.Within the dark corners of America’s forests grow culinary treasures. Chefs pay top dollar to showcase these elusive and beguiling ingredients on their menus. Whether dressing up a filet mignon with smoky morels or shaving luxurious white truffles over pasta, the most elegant restaurants across the country now feature an abundance of wild mushrooms. The mushroom hunters, by contrast, are a rough lot. They live in the wilderness and move with the seasons. Motivated by Gold Rush desires, they haul improbable quantities of fungi from the woods for cash. Langdon Cook embeds himself in this shadowy subculture, reporting from both rural fringes and big-city eateries with the flair of a novelist, uncovering along the way what might be the last gasp of frontier-style capitalism. Meet Doug, an ex-logger and crabber—now an itinerant mushroom picker trying to pay his bills and stay out of trouble; and Jeremy, a former cook turned wild food entrepreneur, crisscrossing the continent to build a business amid cutthroat competition; their friend Matt, an up-and-coming chef whose kitchen alchemy is turning heads; and the woman who inspires them all. Rich with the science and lore of edible fungi—from seductive chanterelles to exotic porcini—The Mushroom Hunters is equal parts gonzo travelogue and culinary history lesson, a rollicking, character-driven tour through a world that is by turns secretive, dangerous, and tragically American.
