Association among dispositional mindfulness, self-compassion, and leukocyte telomere length in Chinese adults.
PMID: BMC Psychol. 2019 Jul 22 ;7(1):47. Epub 2019 Jul 22. PMID: 31331401 Abstract Title: Association among dispositional mindfulness, self-compassion, and leukocyte telomere length in Chinese adults. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Whereas meditation training has been purported to support slower cellular aging, little work has explored the association among different facets of dispositional mindfulness, self-compassion, and cellular …
Microwave radiation alters EEG readings, with the effects present even at 100-fold differences.
PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2013 May ;34(4):264-74. Epub 2012 Dec 31. PMID: 23280729 Abstract Title: Effect of microwave radiation on human EEG at two different levels of exposure. Abstract: This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of microwave radiation on human brain bioelectric activity at different levels of exposure. For this purpose, 450 MHz microwave exposure modulated …
The findings of this study provide further evidence for a non-thermal biological effect of pulsed radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
PMID: Neuroreport. 2007 May 28 ;18(8):803-7. PMID: 17471070 Abstract Title: Pulsed radio frequency radiation affects cognitive performance and the waking electroencephalogram. Abstract: We investigated the effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields on brain physiology. Twenty-four healthy young men were exposed for 30 min to pulse-modulated or continuous-wave radio frequency electromagnetic fields (900 MHz; peak specific …
Mobile phone handsets may have an effect on the resting alpha band of the human EEG.
PMID: Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2008 ;2008:5680-3. PMID: 19164006 Abstract Title: The effect of GSM-like ELF radiation on the alpha band of the human resting EEG. Abstract: Mobile phone handsets such as those operating in the GSM network emit extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields ranging from DC to at least 40 kHz. …
This study describes the effects of combined extremely weak magnetic field on aqueous solution of amino acids.

Abstract: The fundamental physical mechanisms of resonance action of an extremely weak (40 nT) alternating magnetic field at the cyclotron frequency combined with a weak (40μT) static magnetic field, on living systems …
Meditation may offer a patient-driven practice to reduce heart failure symptoms as well as improve psychosocial wellness and quality of life.
PMID: Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs. 2019 Jul 23:1474515119863181. Epub 2019 Jul 23. PMID: 31331192 Abstract Title: Meditation interventions among heart failure patients: An integrative review. Abstract: BACKGROUND: There has been growing interest in meditation techniques as an intervention in chronic disease populations. Little is known of the effect meditation practice has on outcomes among patients …
Microwave emissions by mobile phones may increase skin temperature and induce vasodilation.
PMID: Laryngoscope. 2001 Jan ;111(1):159-62. PMID: 11192886 Abstract Title: Local vasodilator response to mobile phones. Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The use of mobile phones with the resulting generation of potentially harmful electromagnetic fields (EMF) is the focus of public interest. Heat generation and the activation of the inducible form of nitric oxide (NO) synthase may be possible …
In this study, EMF has a seemingly weak interaction with heart rate variability parameters.
PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2007 Feb ;28(2):122-9. PMID: 17004239 Abstract Title: Electromagnetic fields produced by GSM cellular phones and heart rate variability. Abstract: In this study, 26 healthy young volunteers were submitted to 900 MHz (2 W) GSM cellular phone exposure and to sham exposure in separate sessions.
