(2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Treatment for the condition required surgery, which removed one-third of the tongue. Tragically, the cancer continued to slowly spread, later metastasizing to his esophagus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Though a heavy smoker for many years, Van Halen surprisingly did not blame cigarettes because his lungs were totally free of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Instead, he believed it was the metal picks that he held in his mouth while playing music for hours at a time, day after day, in EMF saturated recording studios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Van Halen thought that these metal picks served to concentrate the EMF-heavy environment in which he worked to the exact spot on his tongue where the cancer started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>I used metal picks \u2014 they\u2019re brass and copper \u2014 which I always held in my mouth, in the exact place where I got the tongue cancer.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Plus, I basically live in a recording studio that\u2019s filled with electromagnetic energy.

Even his doctors admitted that it was plausible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With most urban areas awash in electromagnetic radiation 24\/7, a growing number of functional physicians are expressing concern that metal in a person\u2019s mouth can attract and concentrate this energy in very vulnerable areas of the body, effectively<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com\/cell-tower-safety\/\">causing a person\u2019s head to attract radiation like a cell phone antenna.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Metal in the mouth was never a health risk before the advent of cellular, Wifi, and on the horizon, more<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com\/5g-safety-strategies\/\">powerful 5G technologies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Savvy biological dentists have been counseling their patients for some time to avoid any type of metal in or around the head area. This includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Metal braces<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com\/dental-implants\/\">Titanium implants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Permanent wire retainers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Silver fillings<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inert materials such as ceramic, rubber, silicone, and others are becoming more popular and widely available to avoid the suspected risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Studies on EMFs and Cancer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s important to note that it isn\u2019t the metal itself in the mouth that is the problem. It is the metal combined with heavy exposure to EMFs. Two studies thus far have linked proximity to EMFs and cancer. Metal in the mouth would serve to heighten the exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In a <a class=\"external\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/241473738_The_Influence_of_Being_Physically_Near_to_a_Cell_Phone_Transmission_Mast_on_the_Incidence_of_Cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">German study<\/a>, doctors examined close to 1000 patients to see if living at the same address close to a cell tower for 10 years affected cancer risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They discovered that the proportion of newly developed cancer cases was three times higher for those living within 1300 feet (a quarter of a mile) of a cellular transmitter compared to those living further away. In addition, they found that the patients became ill with cancer on average 8 years earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A distance of 1300 feet (400m) is of particular importance. This is because computer simulation and measurements used in the study indicated that the radiation at that distance or less (the \u201cinner area\u201d) is 100 times greater than emissions beyond that distance (the \u201couter area\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Another important observation from the research is that for the first 5 years of living near a cell phone tower, the risks were no different than someone living far away from one.<\/strong> However, in years 6-10, the cancer risks jumped more than threefold for those living a quarter of a mile or less from a mobile tower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/citeseerx.ist.psu.edu\/viewdoc\/download?doi=10.1.1.527.1036&amp;rep=rep1&amp;type=pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Israeli research conducted by Tel Aviv University<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">confirms a similar pattern. In this study, 622 people living 1148 feet (350m) or less from a cell phone transmission station for 3-7 years were compared to 1222 controls living further away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Out of the high exposure group, 8 cases of cancer were diagnosed within just one year. 3 cases of breast cancer and 1 case each of ovarian, lung, bone, kidney and lymphatic cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the control group, only 2 cases of cancer occurred even though the control group was roughly twice as large as the highly exposed group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Based on these results, the researchers calculated the relative risk of cancer to be over four times higher for those living 350m or less (about one-fifth of a mile) from a cell phone antenna or tower.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Was Eddie Van Halen Right?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Was Eddie Van Halen\u2019s hunch about the cause of his cancer accurate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Was it caused by his many years of holding metal against his tongue in EMF-saturated recording studios?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While we likely won\u2019t ever find out the answer to this question, his words are certainly a cautionary tale in this world where it is virtually impossible anymore to avoid 24\/7 exposure to EMFs of all kinds including cell phone towers, antennas, <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com\/harvard-medical-doctor-warns-against-smart-meters\/\">smart meters<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com\/fitbit-health-concerns\/\">personal health devices like fitbits<\/a>, dirty electricity, and Wifi\u2026with more to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heeding the advice of forward-thinking physicians and dentists by avoiding any type of metal appliances in the mouth seems to be a commonsense move at least until more research on the subject is done. <a style=\"color: #000000;\" name=\"References\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"external\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2020\/10\/06\/eddie-van-halen-dead-dies-cancer-65\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1)<\/a> Van Halen Dies of Cancer at 65<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"external\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/rock\/6605231\/eddie-van-halen-addiction-david-lee-roth-touring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2)<\/a> Van Halen on Surviving Addiction<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"external\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/eddie-van-halen-dead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3)<\/a> Eddie Van Halen, Legendary Rock Guitarist, Dead at 65<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"external\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eddie_Van_Halen#\/media\/File:Eddie_Van_Halen.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(4)<\/a> Eddie Van Halen photo credit<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-authorname\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com\/author\/sarah\/\">Sarah Pope MGA<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-desc\">\n<div>\n<p>Sarah Pope has been a Health and Nutrition Educator since 2002.
