But then, common sense will tell you that science does not know everything, especially with regards to health. And a little bit of research will tell you that scientific studies can be rigged. And they are, frequently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So who do we trust then? Ourselves. Not a very easy thing for those who rely on their five senses, but if you&#8217;re in touch with the deeper aspects of yourself, then it is much easier. I can sense energies.\u00a0A friend who can see auras (the energy field present around people and things) recently contacted me regarding the effect of microwaves on food, and this is the discussion we had.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>R<\/strong>:\u00a0Hi Ashwita,<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">I recently had a debate with my manager on microwave oven. I was surprised when she was able to dig up so many valid research including one from WHO (<a style=\"color: #666699;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/peh-emf\/publications\/facts\/info_microwaves\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.who.int\/peh-emf\/publications\/facts\/info_microwaves\/en\/<\/a>) \u00a0that microwaves preserves the nutrients of the food just as much as normal cooking.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Water is the only thing effected by microwaves &#8211; water is polarized, causing water molecules to vibrate and produce heat which cooks the rest of the food. The vitamins, minerals and the rest of the food particles remain unharmed.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">I was actually quite shocked because I have heard from many sources that microwaved food is bad. So, this led me to wonder where does these sources get their info? Is there some unknown research on this that is not in public domain?<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">What are your thoughts on this?<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ashwita:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Here&#8217;s an interesting link I found,\u00a0&#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/naturalsociety.com\/microwaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microwaves<\/a>&#8216;\u00a0and they link to some studies as well. They&#8217;re probably over excited, but the studies are worth looking at probably.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Now, I have not really bothered about studies wrt microwaves. I don&#8217;t believe much of what I hear, and only trust the information that &#8216;feels&#8217; right. I heard that microwaves genetically mutate food. I didn&#8217;t really care if that was technically correct. I did feel that food didn&#8217;t &#8216;feel&#8217; right after microwaving. The Masaru Emoto pictures of microwaved water make it look like water has been bombed when microwaved. Healing it fixes it to an extent, so I usually Reiki my food if I know it was microwaved.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Why don&#8217;t you try it yourself? Check the aura of a dish before and after microwaving? and tell me what you see!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>R:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, I have felt it too. Microwaved water just does not feel right. Microwaved food also feel wrong to some extent, I believe its because the water in the food is electrocuted by the electromagnetic field in microwaves. <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"color: #666699;\">But I have also feel that water has the ability to heal itself. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #666699;\">My point being if it only effects water like the research say, then it only as bad as any other type of cooking. <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A:<\/strong>\u00a0No, I don&#8217;t think it is as bad as any other type of cooking&#8230;. cooking sometimes enhances the vibration of food even&#8230;. plus, yes water has the ability to heal itself, but that is over a period of time &#8211; not in the few seconds that the food is consumed in. If a person with already sick cells (most humans today) consumes food in which the water is already dead, then he has very little restoration capacity, I think.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Check the energy of boiled water, it&#8217;s gentler and less &#8216;dead&#8217; than microwaved water.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">PS: It cannot be that only water is heated. How does the plate then become hot?<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>R:<\/strong>\u00a0I normally drink a glass of hot water (heated on stove) with honey in the morning. Today, I heated water in microwave to see the difference. Water felt sick, like it lost a part of it. It felt partially dead &#8211; exactly like you described. About 1 &#8211; 2 hrs after drinking it, I became very thirsty, felt drained of energy, not pleasant at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\n<div><span style=\"color: #666699;\">I read that plants are 90% water. So that means 90% of the food we eat becomes sick when we put it in a microwave. Sure, microwaves preserves \u00a0the rest 10% like all the studies say. But I would not want to eat food that is 90% sick. \ud83d\ude41<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Thank for your help Ashwita and It was very nice of you to indulge me on my panic spree.
