The Trouble with EMF’s

THE SCIENCE BEHIND EMF HARM TO OUR BODIES

Our bodies depend on subtle naturally occurring electromagnetic frequencies generated by the bioelectric signaling of cells, organs and body systems to regulate cellular and body processes and maintain health and balance. When these organic frequencies are impacted by the much more powerful artificial radio frequencies and EMFs generated by WIFI technology, the cells lose their ability to communicate and regulate.  The signaling we rely on to stay healthy is interrupted, and the body starts to break down.

According to biochemist Jerry Phillips, Ph.D., director of the Excel Science Center at the University of Colorado,

“ The [radio frequency] signal couples with… cells, although nobody really knows what the nature of that coupling is.  Some effects of that reaction can be things like movement of calcium across membranes, the production of free radicals or a change in the expression of genes in the cell.

Suddenly important proteins are being expressed at times and places and in amounts that they shouldn’t be, and that has a dramatic effect on the function of the cells. And some of these changes are what’s seen when cells undergo conversion from normal to malignant.”

Scientists including Martin Pall, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of biochemistry and basic sciences at Washington State are finding that two of the organs most affected by exposure to harmful EMFs are the heart and brain, noting a rise in heart and brain dysfunction and tumors associated with wireless device use. They speculate this could be the result of the scrambling of regulating frequencies from voltage-gated calcium channels in the body, releasing an excessive flood of calcium into the cells and increasing calcium signaling. Coincidentally, these two organs also happen to contain the largest concentration of VGCC’s (voltage-gated calcium channels).

HOW DOES THIS DISRUPTION AFFECT OUR HEALTH?

According to researchers including Allan Frey, Office of Naval Research, this disrupted signaling in the body is responsible for conditions such as

•   Neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism
•   Hormonal disruptions
•   Cardiac disorders and disease
•   Chromosomal breakage
•   Impaired fertility, particularly in men
•   Oxidative stress
•   Decreased ATP –the energy currency of the body
•   Cellular DNA damage
•   Breakdown in the blood/brain barrier, exposing the brain to dangerous systemic toxins
•   Cancer
•   Melatonin depletion
•   Sleep disruption
•   Weakening of the cell membranes
•   Childhood leukemia
•   Increased risk of miscarriage

In a recent article, Dr. Mercola points out we have seen “a statistically significant uptick in brain cancer in younger people and children.  We’ve also seen an increase in tumors situated near the ear on the side people hold their phones.”

WHAT CAN WE DO TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH AND OURSELVES?

While we cannot escape this invisible sea of man-made EMFs and RFs, we do have some control over limiting our exposure to the devices that magnify these harmful frequencies. Here are some suggestions:

•   Whenever possible, opt for wired rather than wireless versions of things like baby monitors, computers, electric meters, televisions and telephones.
•   Use an Ethernet connection rather than WIFI to access the Internet from your computer.
•   Always use your cell phone on speaker mode and put it in airplane mode or turn it off when not in use.
•   Lay your cell phone down rather than holding it while in use whenever possible.
•   Do not sleep with wireless devices beside you or under your pillow.
•   Do not carry your cellphones so that they are touching your body.
•   Opt out of “SMART” devices including TV’s, utility meters and appliances, as they rely on WIFI sending and receiving of signals to operate.
• Turn off your router when not in use. Shut it down at night while you are sleeping.

Other than avoidance, there is something else you can do to mitigate the damage caused by exposure to these artificial frequencies.
