Electrical Hypersensitivity| | The use of electrical appliances can be minimized, but more importantly, long term exposure to current carrying wires should be avoided. Beds should be moved away from electrical wiring where possible.
The use of an instrument like The CellSensor can help you detect areas in your home where you should not be spending a lot of time. Easy to use, you just walk through your house with the simple instructions not to put furniture or beds where the meter finds a hot spot over 2 milligauss.
Headaches, fatigue, depression, pain, all have been linked to these hot spots.

Barrett's Esophagus| | BARRX Medical, Inc. today announced that 70% of the patients enrolled in a multi-center clinical trial were free of a precancerous condition called Barrett's esophagus one year after treatment. The data was published in the February issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, a medical journal for gastroenterologists who perform advanced endoscopic procedures. In the report titled, "Circumferential Endoscopic Ablation of Barrett Esophagus using a Balloon- Based System: One-Year Follow-up of 100 Patients," patients with Barrett's esophagus were safely treated with the HALO360 Ablation System.
"Publication of the one-year results of the AIM (Ablation of Intestinal Metaplasia) Trial represents a very important milestone in the advancement of this ablative technology for our patients with Barrett's esophagus," says Dr. Sharma. "Until now, the patient with Barrett's esophagus was relegated to a lifetime of frequent endoscopic surveillance procedures to watch for progression to more dangerous forms of the disease, like dysplasia and cancer. The results of this study suggest that we can safely and proactively eliminate Barrett's esophagus at the very earliest stage, rather than limiting ourselves to passive observation of the disease for progression. This has been a welcome change in the management strategy for our patients with Barrett's esophagus."
In this study, patients with the earliest stage of Barrett's esophagus (intestinal metaplasia) received ablation using the HALO360 Ablation System, a balloon-based radiofrequency device designed to remove the diseased cells using controlled heat.
The procedures were performed non-surgically, using endoscopy, which allowed the patient to return to normal activity after treatment. Follow-up visits over 12 months included frequent endoscopy with biopsy procedures to determine if the disease was fully eliminated. At one year, 70% of patients were cured of Barrett's, while the remaining patients had near-complete resolution of their disease. |
