Perspectives from a Wellness
Doctor
Michael F. Roizen MD
Emeritus Chief Wellness Officer, Cleveland Clinic
What are the Wellness Implications of this Project at Coral
Mountain
• The particulates generated by this Development, during use and
including during the grading, will cause inflammation which increases
cancer risk, dementia risk and cardiac risk and will be
substantially increased to all in the Valley
• Particulates will likely hang around longer (more inflammation to all
in the valley for longer) from car traffic, and from electrical generation
for the wave machine
• Add in the extra short term vacation rental traffic (8 —10 people in a
three bedroom home for example) that will increase pollution and
particulates in LQ could shorten lifespans as well
What are the Wellness Implications of this Project
at Coral Mountain
• Our more and more frequent wind events will cause even more
particulate in the air in and around this project
• Those additional particulates will increase white light pollution and
sleep disturbances from the lights shining on the particulates for all
those who try to go to sleep prior to the 10pm end of day of the wave
lights
• White light pollution for all those over 50 or those who are post
menopausal will make sleep more difficult for them and be associated
with increased insomnia year round
• Noise pollution from the wave machine will further disturb sleep and
could foster dementia and memory loss of those over age 50
Dangers to Participants and Surfers in the Summer
• There is danger to spectators who do not realize they are becoming
dehydrated due to our extreme heat
• There is danger to surfers who are over exerting themselves, with this
exertion being documented due to surfing on the long artificial wave
• Being in the (warm) water masks the extreme heat of the sun raising
body temperature with the subsequent significant chance of heat
stroke
• If possible, don't hike any later than mid -morning. Heat exhaustion,
dehydration, and even death can happen even when it's below 100
degrees.
These Risks are Substantial to the
Community at Large
