What are the Health Risks of being an Airline Pilot?

What are the Health Risks of being an Airline Pilot?
Are we actually aware of all these risks?
If we knew what damage we are doing it may not be worth it!

After reading about another tread about Airborne radiation in relation to JPN.
It mentions a CX Capt taking his own monitor on flights and having discovered & studied its ill effects resigned.

This prompted me to start doing my own research.
I'm finding it very shocking indeed.
Esp if you consider most Pilots in CX are now joining in there 20's and plan on working to 65. Ie 45 years & doing mostly ULH. Most of you will have some major health problems before 65 and will certainly not have a healthy retirement.

There are so many bad things we are exposed to.
EMF & Solar radiation, Dehydration, Ozone poisoning, Pressure changes,
Sleep problems, exposure to huge stress & alcohol problems.
Less Schumann Resonance at Altitude results in less "organ& glandular rhythms in the human body",hypobaric hypoxia ,Equatorial Crossing
Auric bleedling - very interesting new subject & unknown to most!

The list goes on..

Anyway the question is : Has major research been done in this area?
If so what are the results? Are they public?

Can all airline unions not team up and employ some independent medical experts to study the long term effects and result in us getting better rostering & more days off & longer Leave in a row etc.. Sabbaticals etc.

We need to do something to better protect your health. :ok:
Lets take a stand together!

Please add any interesting articles etc..

Here is an article outling how Air Travel causes Auric Bleeding

Air Travel
Air travel is an ingrained aspect of most of your lives. At some point almost all of you
will travel by airplane to another destination. And such travel depletes the aura far
more than is currently understood. Indeed expansive regular air travel can shorten
one's very longevity and cut short life span, especially for those in mid to later years.
Pan continental and trans ocean flights by the very measure of their copious
distance and requisite time in flight time are exponentially more degenerative to the
human auric field. Virtually every one on board a 9-10 hour international airflight exit
the plane at their destination with varying degrees of irregular or ruptured auric
function. Long distance flights traveling latitudinally in eastbound vectors are the
most detrimental. Yet all such take an undeniable toll on the energy field...you call it
jetlag. Such a benign term is a gross understatement, for the condition is far more
than simple fatigue from time zone change.
Now, one of the key the underlying factors that is the root of the issue is that most
commercial planes fly at altitudes of 35,000 feet, in the stratosphere, and effectively
outside the regulatory pulse of the Schumann Resonance. The Schumann
Resonance is the planets 'heartbeat' it is an anionic charge released by the earth,
that combines with the cationic charges released from the stratosphere to form an
electro-magno capacitor around the planet from ground level to about 30,000 feet.
This capacitor forms a background resonance that plays a key role in regulating vital
organ& glandular rhythms in the human body. Airplanes flying at 35,000 to 37,500
feet, as most do, are outside this regulatory range and the metallic fuselage of the
aircraft further deflects most remaining integration. The result is a distortion of the
physical rhythms. Your NASA agencies and space station agencies are aware of this
issue, as it has created chronic physical issues with the astronauts. They have
experimented with placing magnetic generators in the stations and shuttles.
Your medical personnel that have studied jet fatigue are aware that flights can and
do force the heart to work harder, and that longer range flights enlarge the heart
temporarily. The pilots and flight attendants who fly daily absolutely stress their
bodies and auric fields to the extent that chronic diseases result and 'aging' is
acutely accelerated. There have been internal studies of the abbreviated life
expectancy of airline flight workers, but these are for the most part kept from the
public. They are indeed aware that hypobaric hypoxia caused by pressurization of
the aircraft alters rhythmicity after long flights, independently of the number of time
zones crossed, significantly reduces human hormone levels.
This issue is somewhat exacerbated by the rather cramped conditions of setting in
close quarter seating for extended periods in which rest is difficult, circulation is
impaired and the body ingests less oxygen, resulting in a fatigue of its own. The
extremely dry air in the pressurized cabin as well as the pressurization itself is
detrimental. Cycles are interrupted, and indeed most of you recognize that it is
difficult to rest the body after long flights, insomnia occurs as but one side effect of
the auric circuitry interruption.
Now let us be clear, flights of under 3-4 hours are not as detrimental as the 8-12
hour variety, and recovery is much faster. So other important factors are the time in
the flight, the frequency of flights taken and the age and physical health of the
individual human.
Yet all flights, as we have emphasized are detrimental to varying levels.
Equatorial Crossing
Long flights of latitudinal crossings invoke greater fatigue to the body physical due to
time-zone change. This in addition to all of the other factors mentioned. Yet
longitudinal flights that cross from the southern hemisphere to the northern
hemisphere (and vice-versa) invoke another frequencial adjustment to the auric
energy. The resonate energy below the equator will in unforced & unmagnetized
scenarios, naturally rotate clockwise below the equator, and anticlockwise above it.
Thus when one flies from above the equator to destinations above it, and vice -
versa, the individuals Auric circuitry will be mal-effected for a period of time.
Question : Many people have jobs that require flights. What can be
done to minimize the detrimental effects?
The effects, again, are exacerbated according to the frequency of flights
and length of flights. Other factors are the general health and age of the person
flying.So in all cases, try to minimize regularity and frequence when possible.
Maintain the health in all activity. When you know you will fly you can stabilize the
field somewhat by wearing copper or gold on both wrists, and by employing certain
gemstones as rings and pendant to help hold the field intact. After the flight, take salt
mineral baths and avoid sleep aids. Hydrate the body as much as possible during
and after the flights.

It has to be said...

AIDS. Yes, AIDS.

Aviation

Induced

Divorce

Syndrome

At least 50% of ALL CX pilots have it. Some have acquired it, shaken it off, and (unbelievably) caught it again!

Be warned. This is not a profession for the faint of heart...

Ageing? Really?

Without sounding gay OR massaging my colleagues' ego's, I am still surprised these days at how well the majority of pilots here have aged, and how good looking we all seem to be :}

I think a big component in terms of good health is how well one treats themselves. Regular gym workouts and healthy food go a long way. I've also noticed that the company of a younger woman makes you look and feel younger than your real age.

See you all in Wanchai later :}

Alot of guys get yellow fever which then turns to AIDS

crewsunite!!! All I can say is:hmm: Utter bollocks:ugh: Auric bleeding?????? Get a grip on reality:ugh::ugh:

[joebanana]

Auric bleeding??? Right up there with Jesus if you ask me :hmm:

Incoming!!!! :E

Not sure why you are all worried about radiation, anal bleeding, yellow fever etc.

this is what you should be worried about :
