From my kinesiology experience, the thing that tv's (and computers) affect the most is the thymus gland - three finger widths below the sternal notch.
If you place the palm of your hand over there for about two minutes, it will make a difference.
I have had students who were totally 'scrambled' in shopping centres, and after doing that they were okay.
What you are doing is actually energising the thymus, it works even faster if you point five fingers directly into the thymus, but you have to be more exact with the positioning.
Tv;s also affect Brain Integration, and there are several kinesiology workshops that have have Brain Integration corrections.

I would love to e-mail this article to others, does anyone have any idea how I can do that? Maybe Dr. Mercola can make the site more user friendly so that I could e-mail articles of interest to others.

Thanks!

My brother and I spent as much time as possible outside, at friends', or in our rooms so we never watched much TV and I'm grateful because neither one of us ever acquired the habit.
Well-meaning people keep trying to buy my daughter & grandson a satellite dish and no one understands why she doesn't want one.
Life is too short to watch TV! I don't want to look back when I'm 80 years old and realize I wasted my active, healthy years in front of the boob tube. There will plenty of time for that when I'm 100.

My parents bought a TV about 6 months before I got married! Now we as a family just use it for videos and DVD's. This means that if we are watching something, usually together as a family and something comes up, we can just switch off until we can finish it, sometimes this can be up to a week later!
You may have noted my comments under the organic section, we do tend to keep ourselves busy working on our patch of land with the livestaock etc. We as parents feel thatthis is much healthier for our children.
I can remember reading a book many years ago called "The plug in drug" addressing this very issue. I could never understand why companies would pay out millions in advertising if TV did not affect those watching it.

This is a HORRENOUS statistic, if even half true.

Little (OR ANY) kids being brain washed with processed cereal commercials, glamorized alcohol brands, refined sugar and hydrogenated laden food brands, Big Pharma pill pushing, gratuitous violence 24-7, bogus pro nuclear power commercials from Areva claiming to be "America's" power solution, when then are FRENCH fronted and owned (claiming: "Living Better Through Advanced Technology" ---hmmmm, is this not very similar to the EVIL 1960's and 1970's "Better Living Through Chemistry" slogan?), etc.

Is it any wonder you need to tell all your family members, and friends, to cut the cord on their TV?

Through your TV away.

I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, and yell: "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

Read a book, go to the library, read to your children, go for a nice walk, plant a garden with your kids, have them learn to play any musical instrument, take up slow food cooking with the family, participate in LIFE ...anything but TV -The Modern American Devil's Playground.

If not YOU, whom? If not NOW, when?

Sigh,

Uncle Russ

I think we have come to a place in our society where adults think that one, TV is educational (??) and two, that they are busy doing this and that around the house, maybe working, want some down time, etc and they deflect their reality by putting their kids in front of a TV. So, I feel parents are giving their kids away just to get their own emotional needs met. That is my 2 cents!
