I agree 100%. I have never gotten or used a microwave, and I’ve refused to ever get a cellphone. I bet what caused Ted Kennedy’s brain cancer was a combination of using the two.
Dr. Axe, playing with iPhone, iPad etc. has any bad effects on kids?
I have concerns about cell phones, WiFi, etc. and work in a library where we have wireless Internet access. Dr. Axe, can you suggest ways to protect ourselves and our children in this increasingly wired and wireless world? Any products that balance the unbalanced?
Go on google and do a search on E-Pendants, these you wear on your body, and EMP’s (Electro Magnetic Chaos Protectors) You can put these on your phone, laptop, tv, whatever. A Great website to go to is http://www.ependantdeal.com You can learn more imnformation there. Hope that helps!

Excellent article!! I’ve been wondering about microwaves for a while. I am a strong proponent of nutrient therapies for cancer treatment and general health and just find it ridiculous that cancer is treated with radiation! I try to avoid unnecessary bi-annual dental X-rays as I’d prefer to pay for the filling! The same with mammograms. There is mounting evidence that women who receive annual mammograms have significantly higher cancer rates. Alternatives such as thermography and ultrasound are much safer. Thanks for the excellent articles!!!
I completely agree.
Am travelling to see my homsopathic cancer doc in Germany every 5 months. No more mammograms or ct scans for me. There is a saliva test for breast cancer. You might also find the research of Dr. Ulrich Abel of the University of Heidelberg interresting.
Best wishes
Thank you Ines! I will do that. Are you having IV vitamin C and taking D-3, garlic, flax seed, and various non button mushrooms daily? All are very helpful in an unadulterated, whole form. All the best wishes for your health! Ps. Mood is also a vital element in survival/cure.
I just read some information on lifescript.com which explains that microwaves do in fact emit radition; however, they emit the type that is non-threatening. There are ionizing and non-ionizing types of radiation. Ionizing radiation is the kind of radiation you come into contact with when you have an X-Ray or the type that’s used in nuclear power plants.
This type of radiation can be dangerous if you receive large doses of it because it has the ability to change your DNA and damage your body. It can cause cancer to occur in your cells, for example, and can result in birth defects if you’re pregnant.
Microwaves produce non-ionizing radiation.
Non-ionizing radiation doesn’t have the power to change your DNA and is not as dangerous as ionizing radiation.
Dr. Axe, what is your opinion on the information from this website?
Thank you for posting this, everyone thinks I’m wacky for not using our microwave. Next house: none at all!!! April: I’m hedging my bets and NOT standing near a microwave. Scientists claim that lots of really unhealthy things are perfectly safe.
You are right ,on people check out the website (,radiation oven .com )a doctors research shows how toxit they realy are!
I heard that microwaving food changes its molecular structure in a negative way.
When I would use it to bake potatoes, there would be areas that were over cooked, almost burnt. I use a convection oven now and am very happy with it.
What happens if you leave the kitchen while the microwave is on?? Is there a difference of being in another room?
Dr. Axe, I suspect you feel the same way about mammograms, although that is a more touchy subject. If you tell women over the age of 40 to NOT get their yearly mammograms because of the radiation exposure, they will look at you like you are crazy. The idea of getting a yearly mammogram has been crammed down our throats for years now. I’m looking into Thermography as an alternative. What do you think??
I so agree ! I try to limit my microwave time, and have asked to not go through the airport scanner….I get a lot of slack when I ask to be patted down as I have had a hip replacement, and they try to get me to go through the scanner each time!
Speaking of radiation/cancer, January is national radon awareness month. I think it would be helpful to alert people about the real dangers of radon in our homes. We tested our unfinished basement a few years ago while I was pregnant and found it to exceed the EPA levels so we installed a special fan. Middle TN is a hotspot for radon and unfortunately I seem to have a lot of very sick friends in middle TN, especially childhood cancer. EPA’s website provides a lot of good info on radon.
So then about the whole cell phone radiation, wouldn’t keeping the cell phone in your pocket or something or in your hand still cause radiation on your body? Or do you have some way of not letting it near your body at all? Because I’ve heard that people who keep it in their front pockets increas the chances of femur cancer (and the like) and also is harmful to men (*hint hint*).
Plus, I’m only 16, so I’m around a lot of radiation as you pointed out.
???
I think it would be a good idea to keep it away from your body while in use. My daughter got a tumor, required 7 1/2 hr surgery. The surgeon said in 30 yrs of practice she’s never taken out so many perotid tumors and asked which side my daughter used her phone. The tumor was on the side of her face exactly where she holds the cell. Thankfully it was not malignant. Many millions of people use cellphones, myself included and don’t develop tumors. I think we should try to prevent those things we can.
So does Bluetooth produce the same radiation as having a cellphone next to your brain?
Also, what would your advice be to someone who’s workplace only supplies a microwave to heat up their lunch?
Hey Doc, great job. My family too has done without a microwave for about the last 3-4 years. Quick question – in your video your microwave is gone, but where is your vent hood for the gas stove?

I am wondering if the microwaves can cause the hives I have under my eyes? I am considering investing in a “whole house” EMF device but not sure if they work. Any suggestions? Angela
I’m 23 and have probably used a microwave everyday of my life (breakfast, etc.). Now I’m really really scared!!!
well, obviously he feels overwhelmed by all of our questions/concers :(
Our household is also micro oven free. Great tips.
Microwave free…. that is how we roll in my home!
