Okay, let's think this through using the basic science of electromagnetism.

This is the EM spectrum. This spectrum is basically a depiction of how energetic the waves are. High energy is on the left. Low energy is on the right.

Mobile phones receive and transmit microwaves. Microwaves are very low energy. Which means it takes a lot of effort for them to be harmful.

A real life example would be a microwave oven. It takes a thousand watts before microwaves are able to cook our food. And it still takes a while before that energy can cook the center of a Hot Pocket.

A mobile phone's max output is 3 watts, but if it is close to a tower, it could operate as low as 0.001 watts.

UV light is much higher energy. The sun outputs a lot of UV light. You can lay out in the sun for a long time and it will give you a hell of a sunburn, but it still does not have enough energy to penetrate past a few layers of skin.

Think about that.

The power of the sun. Blasting you with UV for hours. 1000 watts per square meter. And it doesn't even come close to reaching your brain.

Even if your brain was exposed and you blasted it directly with 3 watts of microwaves for hours and hours, it would not have the energy required to do any significant damage.

This is stupid. We can literally test and measure this.

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

If you support gay marriage reblog this. If you're on the homophobic side, keep scrolling.

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.
