Step aside mom bloggers, there is a new Super Dads blog in town. James is a National Government researcher involved in cutting-edge work in medicine, law and longevity. Recipient of numerous national awards he firmly demonstrates how academics must have practical application. A father of 3 children he hosts the show SuperDads, dedicated to empowering Men, and encouraging “boys” to learn how to become Men. The outcome, to reintegrate fathers as protectors and participants in the beginning and developments of their families. There is no “lip service” in this show, you learn to lead by example by changing yourself first (man or woman). It’s called male authenticity and is definitely under attack for the lady decades of the ascendancy of redefining masculinity to weaken this. James uncovers and explains the science, discusses some products, services and available adventures out there for Dads and families to experience in South Africa.
In this episode, I discuss how smoking weed as a primary treatment to any circadian disease is dumb. Why? It is not the pot that is essentially unhealthy its the lack of oxygen that matters delivered to mitochondria. Anytime you smoke anything NAD+ drops and pseudohypoxia is the result and your wellness is under assault. Smoking anything with another sac of cells inside of you, chronically drawing energy from your own body is just not natural or a wise thing to do. Smoking weed is not wise due to lung damage and lowered O2, but CBD oil has a role for some. It is more wise than smoking. The key is use of CBD needs specific epigenetic exposures. From the workshops I’m putting together in training doctors one will learn the points well. Most people using pot in a circadian mismatch. Not wise. Literature has been useful in using marijuana to explain cancer, apoptosis to describe how the process works. Glucose in controlled amounts leads to controlled swelling inside of the cytosol and mitochondria to stimulate the M phase of the cell cycle to change the size and shape of the things in a cell. When this change in volume is controlled we get normal growth and metabolism. When it becomes uncontrolled because of two specific changes in mitochondria, we lose the volume control because of deuterium fractionation. That is how the biophysics of uncontrolled growth begins. Understanding the change is a quantum thermodynamic mechanism related to the spin of a proton. When it goes awry everything goes awry because the biochemistry in your medical books can no longer operate that way any longer. I revisit the GroPro [ FB ] being one of the most effective solutions to growing your Cannabis before heading into the CBD extraction process. You will learn why sub-molecular medicine does not recommend the use of cannabis as a primary form of treatment. gropro.co.za
In today’s episode, I talk about my experiences with the ultra-light and durable Samsonite luggage [ FB ] in my travels for the Pharma Dynamics [ FB ] symposiums, to the High Seasons Farm [ FB ], Irene Dairy Farm [ FB ] and travelling through our South African Airports [ FB ].
By now you have seen my use with the luggage with my Service Dog Pebble, my children and domestic travelling. This luggage may cost more but I discuss the accounting on how you quickly get savings on flights and stress by going for the ultra-light and effective family solution. www.samsonite.co.za · www.facebook.com
In today’s episode, I am at Allan Gray [ FB ] sitting down Allan Gray discussing some important items to consider when putting together your investment portfolio. On the flip side, I explain how the non-linear effect of artificial light and nnEMF is causing the population to become less interested and motivated toward the responsibility of investing in a retirement portfolio. To combat the knock-on effect of nnEMF financial development companies and the government are working to implement paternal solutions that will cause one to automatically create and contribute toward a retirement investment solution. www.instagram.com · www.facebook.com · www.allangray.co.za
In today’s episode, I am at the Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate [ FB ] sitting down with their general manager discussing the uniqueness of how microclimates on wine production and biophysics. Why this area at face value would appear impossible to produce wine but because of some unique attributes of the microclimate some award-winning wines are produced. The microclimate is so sensitive that a mere 150 meters distance between the vines produces dramatically different wines.

In today’s episode, I discuss how no grounding tooth brushing protocol can be complete without Olgani. This episode is super cool how I go into some interesting biophysics on the toothbrushing protocol and why the Olagani is unique to it compared to other products out there. I also chat about why Olgani’s experiments are different for coupled and uncoupled haplotypes.
In today’s episode, I sit down Tobie & Co [ FB ]. I chat and share my little SuperDads SA secret to managing 3 little one’s, especially our newborn Winter. Tobie & Co Has some super cool pacifiers that make the dropping on the floor solution a thing of the past. Their suction stick bamboo bowls are the best. Easy to clean and perfect in tricking your little one to learning to eat at any table or seating chair.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Jenny Spiro and the Nurture One [ FB ]. I chat and share my little SuperDads SA secret to managing 3 little one’s, especially our newborn Winter. The nurtureOne™ nesting cushion is an ideal sensory environment for your newborn, allowing for a smooth transition from feeding to crib. It is advertised as a safe and portable cushion, however, when you have our 2-year old son River who loves it dearly, I learnt having to make sure Winter gets her turn in the pillow bed because when she is out River makes a dart to jump into it and snuggle.
This is one of those worthwhile episodes for any dad out there wanting to understand better another mechanism in bonding with their newborn.
It has become increasingly difficult to find a hospital that use bath therapy to alleviate pain. Hypnotherapy no longer is feasible due to the blue-light bi-directional microwave environments many are bathed in today. Why, because of the AMPk stimulation resulting in the alteration of the neurochemistry inhibiting the original designs of hypnotherapy. Because of the evolving restrictions by humans no longer giving birth in nature synchronised environments, sub-molecular medicine has been developing technology to help offset to some degree the environmental mismatch. Personally, I would love to have given birth in the ocean rock pools Igor Charkovsky style. Sadly, my wife isn’t as adventurous as I am even though our OB-GYN would often comment, “if you give birth by the see it can work out better for me as my home is around the corner and it is less of travel for me to the hospital.” www.patreon.com · www.instagram.com · www.facebook.com
My most EPIC interview to date is brought to you by Samsonite luggage, High Seasons Farm, and Eurolux.
In today’s episode, I sit down with the curator of one of South Africa’s best wine libraries, the South African Wine Village in Hermanus. I have been waiting for this type of interview for many months, and believe me when I tell you, this episode is Epic and well worth the wait and listen. www.samsonite.co.za · www.highseasonfarm.co.za · www.eurolux.co.za · www.winevillage.co.za
n a previous article “Is it worth getting a diabetic alert dog in South Africa”, DiabetesSA asked if I could do a follow-up interview discussion with Lucy from Honey’s Garden for Medical Alert Dogs South Africa [ FB ].
In this sit-down interview with Lucy, we discuss the background of the organisation and the pros and cons of having a Medical Alert Service Dog and what are some of the obstacles one faces. You will also learn about their affordable access offering to a Medical Alert Service Dog compared to those overseas.
On the SuperDads adventures on FB and Instagram, you have been following my Pharma Dynamics [ FB ] symposiums trips. Yes, it looks amazing having my Service Dog Pebble and or my children joining me in the airport riding their Samsonite luggage [ FB ] while Pebble pulls them and assists us all with their duties. But in South Africa, there is still encountered great barriers within both public and private bodies who choose not to read the law or train their staff accordingly. This is a process but staying subscribed you will get updated communications in my dealings with the South African Human Rights Commission [ FB ], Department of Social Development [ FB ], and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development [ FB ]. www.patreon.com · www.medicalalertdogs.co.za · www.instagram.com · www.facebook.com
Irene Dairy Farm, why their milk process is useful for attending to dairy-related allergies and helping young children with their growth spurts
Since you have been following my SuperDads adventures on FB and Instagram, I finally had a chance to sit down and discuss some of those interesting posts. To catch you up, Pharma Dynamics [ FB ] contracted me to give CPD talks to GPs across the country at their symposiums. The focus of the talks is in the realm of my research in sub-molecular medicine and biophysics elaborating on the non-linear effects artificial light and IMF has on health and performance.
One of our recent talks were held at the Irene Dairy Farm [ FB ]. Getting there, you may have checked out the photos and videos of Pebble, River (our son) and I traveling through the airport on our super durable and lightweight Samsonite luggage [ FB ]. Usually for Pebble I like to cook food for her and give her leftovers, however, with all this flying we were using Field and Forest [ FB ] by Montego. A grain-free food along with their fun biscuit treats. River loved them too. However, driving around would not have been possible if it were not for the friendly assistance of Bidvest car rental [ FB ]. It was helpful getting a safe car that could safely have both River and Pebble in seat belts, securely fastened. www.irenefarm.co.za
Cape Apple / Berry Spritzer [ FB ], after visiting their site and seeing their scenery picture, if you don’t get an idea of what I will be talking about then you must be new to the show.
I talk about if you are a 90% in-door person why kombucha is a bad idea to involve in your daily consumption. I then discuss why this German quality intuitive product is a better alternative for multiple reasons.

I am sitting at The Big Bay Waffle Company [ FB ], at Eden on the Bay Cape Town. In this episode I sit down with the owners and talk about what they have been naturally as a family, been practicing day-after-day, generation-after-generation the 6th best healer in the world. Who your friends are, in this case, your family members and unity.
Because it is a waffle carb eatery, I also discuss why one shouldn’t blame sugar and salt for what artificial light and nnEMF did to your health, obesity and or diabetes. I also share the unique practice my family and I do at the Eden on the Bay so that we can eat waffles, ice cream, bacon etc… and has no impact on us.

Simply Bamboo [ FB ], product messages a way of living in harmony with our environment and preserve it. With the corporate social responsibility marketing aside, I personally enjoy the organic texture and feeling of a wooden toothbrush handle. Something novelly fun and retro but more importantly, stimulating to the development of one’s neurons.
In an artificial world our intuition enters into atrophy. Use of the toothbrush protocol is one approach to combating the atrophy. In this interview I talk about how grounding works, when it doesn’t work and more about the toothbrush protocol. Something I love practicing with my kids.

Blankets from Africa [ FB ], from harsh environments, can come beautiful things. A vast semi-desert was known as the Karoo, a land of stark beauty, natural light and darkness enabling an intuitive touch and connection to the electric and magnetic fields of nature.
Why is lamb amazing, apart from its consumption of being the second richest source of DHA (Omega 3 life source for our semiconductors), apart from seafood, the wool holds an additional photon barcode relationship to the Sun. This is partly why the fabric is such great material at helping entrap infrared light emitted from our bodies while allowing it to breathe.

Nova Chocolate is a sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan-friendly chocolate. However, in this episode, I discuss why the epigenetic consumption intake requires the liberal use of seaweeds.
Marine vegetation can mitigate ocean acidification, study finds. The reason, however, eludes them: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in marine vegetation have a lot of deuterium in them (Seafood/DHA does not) and this deuterium indirectly affects the salinity of seawater to affect the pH scale. Deuterium is capable of shifting pH because of its extra neutron compared to acids with H+. It turns out the oxygen isotope Oxygen-18 (O18) is linearly related to deuterium content in the water on Earth. The concentration of O18 in precipitation decreases with temperature.
The coldest sites on Earth, in locations such as Antarctica and Greenland, have about 5 percent less O18 and deuterium than ocean water. When this water melts into seawater it dramatically affects the salinity of the sea. The same is true of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in your brain. When you liberate O18 and deuterium in your body it has a radical effect on your salinity. We see this in neurosurgical conditions like Diabetes Inspidus, SIADH, and ANF. Does this relationship in nature scale to nature? It does. Many of the most important records of past climate variability from the tropical oceans are based on proxies linked to the stable isotopic composition of seawater.
In particular, carbonate records of 18O derived from fossil corals and marine microfossils and shells of seafood are key indicators of past changes in ocean temperature and salinity. What are the implications of this? As we live in a 5G blue light world resulting in us to collect more deuterium and O18. As it accumulates in our tissues it will decrease our intrinsic salinity and we'll need more salt not less as we irradiate ourselves with nnEMF to maintain our bone mass.
The Cannabis Expo 2019 [ FB ] 4 - 7 April 2019 at the Grand West, Cape Town. Soon the Mother City plays host to the largest cannabis event on the African continent, set to take place at GrandWest from 4-7 April and today I have a discussion with Silas Howarth, Director and Co-Founder of the Cannabis Expo.

I sit down with Earth Probiotic [ FB ] to discuss their Japanese Bokashi Bin. An on-site food waste composting solutions scalable from household to industrial volumes. A way of turning your food waste back into soil food. I a previous episode I discussed the GroPro, an amazing and best solution I found of combing a worm farm and vegetable garden in one vertical tower, amazing for small and large scale living.
There was just one problem with the worm farm system benefits, the restriction on what you can feed them. Here comes the solution, the Bokashi Bin. Everything you can’t feed to your worm farm, you feed to your Bokashi Bin. Meats, left overs, citrus etc…. Best of all, it doesn’t take up a lot of space, uses bacteria to breakdown the leftovers, resulting in a byproduct that can actually be fed into your GroPro worm farm or local garden.

Nude foods [ FB ] is a plastic-free supermarket. I was treated to a plastic-free shopping experience for myself and family. It involved filling our pantry with some high-quality, sustainable, delicious foods and products, without filling the bin with wasteful packaging.
I then had a sit-down with owner Paul on their bulk wholefoods, health foods, and earth-friendly products are all non-GMO, plastic-free and sold by weight. He tells me about their goal is to make plastic-free shopping easy and accessible to the everyday shopper, whilst supporting local suppliers and other waste-reducing initiatives.
Admittedly, when my producer first put this show together I was sceptical. Why? I have visited a couple of these zero waste stores in South Africa and I really was not impressed by the experience nor by the hypocrisy where the environment itself was an epigenetic disaster.
I talk about some of these experiences along with the epigenetic challenges now facing Vegans and Vegetarians in a blue-light bi-directional microwaveable nnEMF world. How India has the fastest growing rate of diabetes and how this is all linked.
Paul is a thumbs up guy, and he definitely makes you feel welcomed within the store and has a demonstrable pride on his concept for a plastic-free Supermarket.

I have Jared on again from Stasher, during the Stasher episode there was an uncovering of Jared’s child, not his child scenario. I thought it valuable to have him on again to discuss what it means to go through the issues of a paternity test when the other person is in another country and what support system you need in order to tackle such a mountain.
Welcome to the royal rumble. Pull out a chair and popcorn as my wife is fed up with my Vegan and Vegetarian tear downs in my interviews and says how she is going to splatter me against the wall in this episode.

Today I am at the South African Revenue Service (SARS) of South Africa. I sit down with Ms Renni Naidoo, specialist Specialist: Legal Counsel at SARS. I interview her discussing how SARS provides a very special medical and disability tax incentive. I ask questions on how you the Taxpayers are able to potentially help me and my Service Dog Pebble.
Often, I get asked about nnEMF and the SASSA disability, personally, SASSA doesn’t provide much, and it is an uphill obstacle at times. You get far more supportive value from the taxpayer through the SARS medical and disability tax incentives. This applies to yourself, your spouse, children and or any dependent living with you and in your care.

Finally a biodegradable toilet paper soft for one’s bottom, great for the environment and awesomely giving to those in need. In today’s episode, I interview Ruan from Gudco [ gudco.co.za ] on the Güdsheet. I talk behind the science on what is needed environmentally to have a Güdsheet, along with how to increase one’s longevity in having a Güdsheet.
The ease of toilet paper is often taken for granted but this soft eco-warrior solution using sugarcane is absolutely why we loved Gudsheet!
Corporate Social Responsibility - for those with low dopamine: Why Güdsheet? Millions of South Africans don't have access to a toilet, or even toilet paper. Poor sanitation is the strong proponent of diarrhoea related diseases that kill hundreds of people every day. Through your purchases, Güdsheet helps provide Toilets & Toilet Paper to underprivileged schools & crèches in need. Why toilets & TP?

Today I am at the South African Revenue Service (SARS) of South Africa. I sit down with Mr. Andrew Wes one of the panel review members. SARS and the Dept. of Science and Technology (DST) put together a great supportive and incentive package for research and development in South Africa. The incentive package provides: • A deduction equal to 150% of expenditure incurred directly for Research & Development and, • An accelerated depreciation deduction (that is, 50:30:20) for capital expenditure incurred on machinery or plant used for R&D. This is really a big deal and a great potential support option for researchers such as myself. Govt. has pulled back funding particularly for post-graduate researchers such as myself. However, this grant enables the private sector to lend support and get a massive thank you the taxpayers for doing so. www.sars.gov.za · www.dst.gov.za · www.sars.gov.za
This episode focuses more on my Service Dog Pebble, and how we have transitioned over to Raw Love Pets dog and cat food.

Sharn from GroPro is definitely in the top 3 products I have ever had the chance to review. It is really amazing. It is not just a worm farm but is also a gardening made easy solution. Water and space saving. Organic. Beautiful.
I believe it is the best value for money as far as domestic garden systems go. No irrigation needed, can be installed in your flat, is pretty and your children will love it as it also functions as a decorative art piece.
I talk about some important biohacks for your GroPro as well as how it is the best system if you wish to grow your own Cannabis. Yes, Cannabis has become decriminalized for private use and growth in South Africa. Using the GroPro, you will be able to produce a better bioavailable crop versus lab grown.
I don’t discuss the Cannabis protocol but it will be available on Patreon in the future.

He is the person you see when you want to check that everything is in check and in order with your bun in the oven. With specialized scanning equipment and the skills set to match.
I also discuss some of the latest research and what I have found from my domain of science explaining why Autism is on the rise. www.perinatal.co.za
Neal from Kids Emporium, Durbanville, Cape Town, shares with us the importance on getting their assistance on fitting a car seat for your car. Believe me, with baby number 3, I wish I engaged in this service on baby number 1. It can be such a hassle trying to install a car seat for the first, second, third etc… time, plus no two seats are the same and the associated complications with each car type.
I also discuss a great idea of having a competition giveaway involving a lineup of parents having to rush from the starting line and compete on who can install the different car seats into the different cars the fastest. Something I quickly had to learn in travelling with my wife with Uber where you are being billed by the minute, plus the added distraction of two children, a service dog, and then person’s around you vying for your attention or a thief looking for an opportune moment.
Kids Emporium is also offering R500 off their selective car seat models.

In the episode, we sit down with Msa. He has been with the Aquarium for years. He is currently the floor supervisor and a new Dad himself to a one-year-old boy who loves the aquarium much like my kids.
Msa tells us about the amazing use of complementary prams to help independent Dads out, plus a wrist-leash system. He also covers the amazing quick turn-around time of the staff in helping locate your child should them give you the slip.
There are also super puppet shows, however, Msa disclaims that some children have a fear towards them to which the show is stopped. But in the event, there are amazing interactions with the sea life, along with the annual Scuba Santa sleepover where parents spend the night and Scuba Santa swims delivering presents to your children.
This is the final segment of our 4 part series. We wrap up into the practical steps and advise in approaching the court and what should be done if you are going to seek legal assistance or if you are going to go it alone. Also, why the legal strategy taken by Clive was so effective, how lady luck was on his side and what this means going forward. Remember, this case is still ongoing but we will be sure to have Clive on again as this story unfolds and publish the scores as we receive them. Court papers filed, and court order
Continuing from part 2 in this 4 part segment, we discuss more into the mix of legal and health implications. How the two fit together, we discuss more again into the legal proceedings and how the Judge Cassiem came to his conclusion.
Clive referenced valuable website resources that his received his research from. They are:
EMFSA EMRSA NAACM Environmental Health Trust Bioinitiative Report
During the interviews I forgot the names but two books I was referencing were Robert O Becker - Body Electric Effect Dr Andrew Marino - Going somewhere.
Also in the series talked about Clive’s D-Ribose stores being depleted during exposure, this is why he experiences such strain. Once D-Ribose is depleted it takes 10-14 days for it to replenish. This is why it would take him so long to recover.
This interview has been divided into four (4) parts. Each segment having a different theme. The purpose of the segments is to have everything discussed straight from the Clive’s experience, along with his advice to legal professionals and the lay public. So stay tuned, subscribe on Facebook Niche Radio, Superdads or my site jameslech.co.za

Disclaimer: the show has a compilation of technical scientific and legal wording, but there are layman summary explanations as well.
All contained within a zip file - Court papers filed, and court order http://jameslech.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Clive-Granville.zip
NOTE: We are still awaiting the Court transcript. Once they are received we will publish them in a new post. Be sure to subscribe in order to receive them. www.emfsa.co.za
Continuing from part 1 in this 4 part segment, we discuss more into the health implications and explanation of the science, along with clarity into the biochemistry and biophysics.
This episode is interesting as I discuss how Clive taking supplements is actually a bad thing, along with him exercising in his current low REDOX state. That he should rather employ other solutions discussed, and once his leptin receptor is restored to being sensitive and his REDOX potential is up, can he perform exercising again.
We also cover how some of the intuitive actions Clive was taking and his sleep Apnea, were defence mechanisms to protecting his health.

The positive and negative health effects from non-native electromagnetic field (nnEMF) effects are real. This includes cell towers. The data has been published, numerous Nobel Prize Awards to explain it, however, the understanding of nnEMF and health in medicine is a cross-pollinating exercise between disciplines in connecting the dots. Most allopathic medicine lacks training in dealing with mitochondrial-related diseases. nnEMF diseases for medical practitioners have several problems. Firstly, they don’t understand the linkage between their pathology and biochemistry books, to what is seen clinically in the world today. Secondly, if one tries to understand the nnEMF issue purely from a biological platform, doctors will be wholly unsuccessful. Physicians need to approach from a biophysics angle. Unfortunately, most allopathic doctors do not have a big physics background.
The problem in medical school and functional medicine training, no one teaches really how mitochondria operates and how it connects into the pathways. Therefore, nnEMF is a big “black box” for most practitioners because they don’t understand how different parts of the nnEMF spectrum affects different parts within the cell. Thereby, unable to explain the symptoms many patients have. Additionally, what really complicates matters further is the countenance of 4G and 5G nnEMF technology. It is ever more complicated because of the way electrical engineers are now changing waveform. It is no longer a strict power density issue anymore. Now, one has to know some of the interesting physics behind this to understand it.
Recently, this has been recognised by different domestic Organs of State. The reviews of the recent Govt. funded nnEMF study has seen this research, development and public health training in alignment with national strategies and priorities. Over the years to come, investment has been taken to start training doctors, and teach 1st and 2nd-year medical students in biophysics.
This episode is the 1st part of a 3 part series with the Cape Town Two Oceans Aquarium. Stay tuned because in this episode we have a prize giveaway sponsored by the Two Oceans Aquarium.
In the episode we sit down with Xavier, we talk about the amazing marine sciences classes offered available from Grade R to 1st-year University, the volunteer education programs, and interactions with the sea life.
We also get into some interesting science and how the body’s EMF can be altered to enable hugging with sharks. www.aquarium.co.za
This episode is a follow-up to the popular lifesaving episode. The episode discusses WaterSmart, an education initiative from [ lifesaving.co.za ] to teach children water safety. A curriculum based education that can be taught at any school in South Africa.
In this episode I interview Deon from [ lifesaving.co.za ]. We chat about some key safety tips for new dads, how to engage the waters this holiday summer season. Why being in the sun & water is excellent for your health
Very important, what not to do when your child is swept out to see. We discuss the story of a child drowning, the Dad ending up in the ICU and the Mom just pulling through.
Red light therapy / cold laser /low-level light therapy (LLLT). An amazing miracle marvel. Today I interview Justin Strahan of JooVV, the famous red light therapy to shine on your balls to boost your testosterone by 3 x times, among other things.
Here are some geeky fund science facts. Low oxygen = CVA = stress = more glucose = glycolysis/PPP = red light.
The sun provides 42% of red light........so this implies CVA's are related to a chronic lake of sunlight at a core level.

Deuterium depleted water, a magic elixir found in the fountain of youth. In this episode, I discuss it’s amazing properties and clinical success results.
Gábor Somlyai [ https://preventa.org/ ] graduated as a biologist at József Attila University (now University of Szeged) in 1982. Between 1982 és 1990 he worked for the Department of Plant Pathology, Plant Protection Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. From 1983 to 1986 he had a scholarship from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as a postgraduate student for obtaining PhD.
In 1988 he defended his thesis in molecular biology. In the same year dr. Somlyai spent 6 months at the Georg-August University in Göttingen with a DFG scholarship and from the end of 1988, he held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Missouri (Columbia, Missouri, USA), where he worked in the field of genetic engineering and gene mapping.
In the wake of the Hungarian Nobel-prize winning scientist Albert Szent-Györgyi - who said that the true cause of cancer should be looked for at the sub-molecular level - dr. Somlyai began his investigations in 1990 as a senior research fellow at the Hungarian Institute of Oncology, examining the biological importance of naturally occurring deuterium.
In 1993 he established HYD Ltd. for Research and Development (now HYD LLC. for Cancer Research and Drug Development) to carry out anticancer research and drug development based on the proprietary procedure, deuterium depletion and to start drug registration. Between 1993 and 1997 he was the scientific director of HYD Ltd., from 1997 he became the CEO of the company. In 2012 he also began serving as the general director of HYD’s parent company, HYD Pharma Inc.

This episode is different to the previous. In this episode I have a further discussion into my guest, dissecting the causes and linked issues to his intolerance to non-native electromagnetic fields. What makes this episode interesting is that my guest Brian Stein has EHS (electro-hypersensitivity). Now retired, but he ran a billions rand company with his EHS, also by making some modifications to his environment and scheduling.
Brian’s Profile

Derek Main from the National Alliance Against Cell Masts (NAACM). NAACM is also the Durban Anti-Cell Mast Alliance (Dacma) spearheaded by Niki Moore. A group of people from around South Africa who are alarmed at what seems to be an uncontrolled rolling out of cellular infrastructure for technology, the effects of which are not fully tested. In no way are we against technology and advancement; however, we strongly oppose the erection of cell masts in residential areas, near schools and in the vicinity of old-age homes. There is a growing unease about the effect of microwaves on people.
Derek’s efforts made it possible for us to have Adv. Carl Viljoen interview on ep 15.
NAACM is the next line in community groups banning together to stop the proliferation of illegal and unnecessary cell masts. NAACM would not be possible if it were not for the past and continued works of
EMRSA - Tracey Lee-Doring and Viki Benjamin Strawberry Lane - Justine Hansen EMFSA - Wilma and Dave Miles P.S. there are many many more people involved in making these groups possible. I just listed the top spokesperson’s names and efforts, else this would be an essay of names.
NAACM’s concern is the extraordinary and concerning proliferation of cellular masts going up across the country. The technology behind cellular telephony is not easily understood by the layperson, and cellular companies are taking advantage of this lack of public awareness to mislead consumers in order to make more money.
The biggest problem for the public is that this technology has not been researched for its effect on people and the environment. Cellular companies are fully aware that their technology carries substantial risks to health, but they suppress this knowledge for financial gain. www.facebook.com · www.naacm.co.za
Matt Maruca is a student, entrepreneur, and teacher of optimal human health, and the Founder of Ra Optics, his first company to share information and create products that teach people to build health in the modern world.
Ra Optics is focused specifically on Blue Light Blocking Glasses to protect our sleep/wake cycle, melatonin, repair quality, mitochondria, energy levels, and health from toxic artificial lighting. He travels and has met with some of the leading researchers of quantum biology. He is 19 years old.”
Don’t let the age fool you. He has been studying this stuff as a prodigal child. Why, because nnEMF him against the wall already in a petri dish where he was conceived. He went from being anaemic, sickly and in immense pain, to turning the tides around.
He didn’t let his conception circumstances and other people decide his future, he decided on his habits and those habits decided his futures (yes, it is plural, a quantum mechanics joke).
One of his product offerings is unique as it supplies not only blue blockers for daytime wear but night-time as well. This is incredibly important for children, students and working professionals.
In the show, we discuss the “Light Diet”. A definitely worth-while listen. Women, survival and simple success that many else can follow.
What I love about Matt, is his untainted ability to explain the mitochondria in such a simple and easy to follow manner.

Adv. Carlo Viljoen, an advocate with the Independent Bar. He is independent for a reason. He does not like bullies and he is a practically learned specialist in the law. His unique skills developed through years of not being able to attend formal training like the majority of his co-workers in the legal profession. Rather, due to life choices and circumstances, he had to learn his skills on the job. In doing so, his success has made him uniquely skilled in being able to apply and evolve the law in a manner limited are able to.
A former SAPS - Senior Sergeant. He specialized in the International Drug Trade along with the detection and prosecution of corrupt police officials. Clearly, a man with bulletproof skin and strong faith that has God’s angel wings help protect and guide him.
He is now called from across the country to help communities battle against the illegal and or unfair erection of cellular masts. His email is: carlo [ @ ] resolutionlaw [ . ] co [ . ] za

Dr. Pierre van der Merwe is a practising neurologist at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital, Cape Town. Office tel: (021) 554-3032. He also functions as a Neuropsychiatrist after completing his Med Psychiatry. However, after his own personal health failure and dedication to his Hippocratic oath, he made strong changes within his own personal life. This leads him to lose weight, increase his energy levels and better care for his patients. He shares his passion and knowledge with free monthly seminars given at the Blaauberg Hospital, and old age homes, along with recordings of his talks on YouTube focusing on optimal brain health.
Part of his message: “People don’t decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.”
He talks about the importance of sleep, morning rituals, and intermittent fasting. These were effective strategies for mitigating health pitfalls.
Some of the supportive science on what Dr. van der Merwe speaks about. Some risks with night shift workers (or binge-watching) If it was midnight, the brain would be forwarded a couple of hours to 2 a.m., which matches what scientists expected from previous research. But they found signs that the clocks in the gut, liver and pancreas were much further ahead as if it was noon. The mounting research and recent Nobel gave for work in circadian biology have researchers astounded by how important this is. If your circadian genes are disrupted throughout your body, diseases like cancer, neurodegeneration, and diabetes will inevitably be the result. www.youtube.com

Karl Muller, born in Johannesburg in 1957, his family went into political exile in the Kingdom of Eswatini (Swaziland) in 1962. He went on to be a physics and mathematics lecturer at Witwatersrand University, South Africa. He also worked as an educational research at the University of Western Cape. Then worked as a subeditor and freelance writer in Johannesburg on national newspapers and magazines (including Farmer's Weekly) until 2010. He then returned to the Kingdom of Eswatini and works now as a freelance scientific editor, specializing in statistical and econometric papers. Phew, a mouth, I mean brain full.
One of his many paramount achievements was the established and precedent ruling set by his complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of South Africa. Upon the scientific and factual evidence, along with independent body reviews, in 2004, the ASA ruled mobile devices are not to be targeted to children under the age of 16, for non-essential purposes.
Listen to this discussion on the history of Karl and the additional supportive evidence to date. Additionally, Karl tells us the nail in the argument that convinced ASA in the end, was his statement with pure conviction and supportive evidence "he would rather see a child with a cigarette in their hand then a cellphone to their head".
On today's show, I interview Dave and Wilma Miles from EMFSA to discuss the means of surveying your home for non-native electromagnetic fields. From their experience, they found it is the dad's who are first resistant when the wife calls them out. The husband would shout do what you want but don't touch my WiFi. However, after they come in and the husband is able to visually identify the radiation using the meters, it is he then that takes things passionately forward by conducting further measurements and implementing solutions.
EMFSA is a very useful service provider who's approach is different to other companies, resulting in greater savings. They advocate surveying first before spending money on mitigation solutions. www.emfsa.co.za
Continuing with our previous show, radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) are a big concern for residents of parents in South Africa. Especially with there being no regulation or monitoring on their radiation emissions, transmitters being illegally erected and public participation bypassed or steamrolled.
Part of my thesis (available on jameslech.co.za) was the legislative qualification of a public interest override The function of ‘substances released into the environment’ and ‘public safety or environmental risk’.
