microwave ovens

Screw energy!I'm more worried about my health!

 

Microwaved blood kills patient

In 1991, there was a lawsuit in Oklahoma concerning the hospital use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion. The case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died from a simple blood transfusion.

It seems the nurse had warmed the blood in a microwave oven. This tragedy makes it very apparent that there's much more to "heating" with microwaves than we've been led to believe. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. In the case of Mrs. Levitt, the microwaving altered the blood and it killed her.

It's very obvious that this form of microwave radiation "heating" does something to the substances it heats. It's also becoming quite apparent that people who process food in a microwave oven are also ingesting these "unknowns".

Because the body is electrochemical in nature, any force that disrupts or changes human electrochemical events will affect the physiology of the body. This is further described in Robert O. Becker's book, The Body Electric, and in Ellen Sugarman's book, Warning, the Electricity Around You May Be Hazardous to Your Health.

Good read!Read the article "pressed rat" posted!

 

I have read the article that was posted and I remain unconvinced. I think its possible because im looking for a mechanism. If microwaves were capable of producing such marked chemical differences surely we'd have seen people going down left right and centre. I dont know what the energy cost of changing cis-trans isomerisation is in general, but im guessing its more than a microwave supplies. Normally UV light is used to alter chemical structure this is some 1'000'000 times more energetic than a microwave. The only things that springs to mind is that a microwave can cause local superheating and maybe a chemcial could be affected thermally. This would be my main concern with using it to heat blood, heat has a large effect on polymer conformations, while with food thats being eaten I doubt it would cause an issue (infact it doesnt otherwise we'd have known centuries ago) but if your putting it directly into your blood stream it could screw things up I imagine particularly as its a living cell your heating, ill ask a biochemist. Also a microwave might have some dipolar effect on a polymer which again could I guess do something bad to a living cell, but as food is dead and you only want the raw materials I cant see it being a problem. Well thats my guesswork, now im off to microwave my lunch.

 

I should have probably added that of course there is always the possibility for new physics or at least an effect thats never been seen before. Though in something as widely used as microwaves its hard to see it hiding for so long. As while to may be in some people interest to hide it doubtless a new discovery would open doors for someone else to make a lot of money.

lololololololol

 

Damn those microwavable pancakes! Damn them all to hell! It all makes sense breakfast foods = good, nuked breakfast foods = terrorism.

 

never trust a microwave .....man pots and pans are the future

 

Man, pots and pans take too long. Try telling your future to my boyfriend, he'll smack you with a pan. Lazy bum thrives on microwave dinners. Haha.

 

washing pans after eatin out of them is theraputic man........smack me with a pan might make me turn to pot "then one of our heads would be stoved in . h a p p y ....cooking

 

Put an uncracked egg into the microwave and turn the power on full for
10 minutes !

 

would this have a messy ending dr ? like blow the microwave up "blow the kitchen up "blow the house up "blow the entire street up . and will the egg still be edible ? oh i"m so eggcited "eggcellent " sorry man just unscramblin me head.

 

It would blow up the egg, its a bit like self scrambling egg. Except in this casethe scrambled egg would be all over the walls of the microwave. I think it was Harry Hill or some comedian used to have a show where one of the regular features was to put celebrities faces on an egg and microwave them.

 

For a really neat light show, take an unwanted CD, and microwave on high for a few seconds...

 

tried that one. Ive often thought that putting needles standing up vertically would be quite pretty but ive never bothered trying it out.

 

hey tony man i get this feelin that you dont like microwaves or kitchens " i thoght the purpose of microwaves is to cook food not play star wars ................................beam me up scotty

 

I use it for cooking food but thats no reason not to have some fun.

 

Lots of fun stuff to do with a microwave here:

Any time you heat food, regardless of the method, then certain vitamines and nutrients are effected. Many nutrients are heat sensitive and any cooking by any method reduces the food value.

 

Yea, if the whole house doesn't blow up.....
