The Tucson Citizen reports about the ergonomic use of a laptop:
Laptop computers are not designed to keep your body in a good postural position—if placed on a table, the keyboard is too high, and the monitor is too low. This puts a strain on the wrist and fingers and places the head in a forward position straining the neck. This leads to pain and stiffness in the neck and shoulders, along with wrists and arms. Eventually carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical strain with temperomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, and headaches may result, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. A list of excellent solutions is mentioned in the article, including: laptop stands, external keyboards, keyboard trays, external mouse, docking stations, as well as other portable solutions.
My comments: Once your body is not holding and maintaining a good posture, it is inevitable that strains and pains will result. It is critically important that you identify activities that cause bad posture and correct them as much as possible, because prevention is always easier than treatment. The article did not mention a concern that may actually have greater implications for your health than posture: all electrical devices release negative energies that the body receives upon exposure to those frequencies. New laptop computers have better screening devices now compared to the early models, but it’s wise to be observant about computers’ and other devices’ effects upon your overall health. Some of my patients have reported major reactions to frequent exposure to electrical devices. If you are one of those who react strongly (and negatively) to electrical frequencies, personal energy work—such as Jin Shin Jyutsu, acupuncture, craniosacral, or yoga—may override the negative energy frequencies.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:
