There is an insidious threat to our bodies, present in this world that is unique! No generation before us has faced this challenge to our health. The presence of this threat has brought many great benefits into our lives and at the same time great dangers!! This power and presence has been sought, developed, created and harnessed in many ways for the betterment of mankind! Unfortunately, the dangers are many and when disregarded or unknown can be devastating in their effect! My goal in this article is to alert you to a threat that I describe as insidious which by definition is: "Acting or proceeding unobserved or in a seemingly harmless manner, but slowly or eventually doing great damage!"
We live in an electric world!
Going back to 600 BC we find the first record of electricity when Thales of Miletus wrote about charging amber while rubbing it, what we now call static electricity. In the 1600's the Greek word for "amber" was translated into English as "electricity" and the attraction and repulsion properties were discovered. Also, Otto Von Guericke invented a machine that produced static electricity in 1660. Over the next century it was discovered how to produce, harness and conduct electricity. Eventually, Ben Franklin's theory on electricity and later Thomas Edison's light bulb, along with many other inventions have made our would and exciting and illuminated place!! So much of our daily lives is impacted by it's presence: computers, PDA's, cell phones, WiFi, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, the machines of industry and offices...even the energy that lights and heats our homes!
While the benefits of electricity in our environment are unquestionable and so necessary now to our daily pursuits, few realize how much our environment itself has been charged with the effects of these electrical currents and the possible dangers they present. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of varying strength and frequency permeate our environment! They are produced by the creation, transmission and use of electricity by any device! Electrical energy travels from the production plants, along power lines, through transformers and into our homes and offices! Electric and magnetic fields surround every aspect of this energy transmission. Electric fields and magnetic fields may occur together, but they are distinct invisible lines of force surrounding anything that uses or conducts electricity. While electric fields are not able to pass through objects and can be shielded by anything able to be a conductor, magnetic fields are able to pass through objects and may have far greater effects on our bodies.
A body of evidence is growing about the health hazards of EMF radiation. According to Dr. Andrew Weil, Author of Spontaneous Healing and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health "EMF may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this century, all the more dangerous because it is invisible and insensible". Also, Professor Leif G Salford, Chairman, Dept of Neurosurgery, Lund University, Sweden, "Voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from handheld mobile phones....(is) the largest human biological experiment ever"!! It is estimated that we live in a world with 100 to 200 million times the radiation than what our grandparents lived in. The EMFs radiate from cell phones, WiFi, DVDs, iPods, iPads, home appliances, hair dryers, etc. "Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation in humans may result in such conditions as headaches, confusion, sleeping problems, depression and mood swings." according to Karolinska Institute, Uppsala University, Wayne State University, 2008. Laboratory studies documented in The Invisible Threat by Dr Howard W Fisher, suggest that "EMFs may change the following: function of cells and tissues, cellular membrane function, secretion of the hormone melatonin, depression of immune system, accelerated tumor growth, biorhythms, human brain activity, heart rate, heart rhythm and blood pressure!
Even the EPA in a draft report issued March 1990, recommended that EMFs be classified as a Class B carcinogen - a "probable" human carcinogen and joined the ranks of formaldehyde, DDT, dioxins and PCBs. Later, after major lobbying by the utility, military and computer lobbyists, the revision did NOT classify EMFs as a Class B carcinogen with this explanation: "At this time such a characterization regarding the link between cancer and exposure to EMFs is not appropriate because the basic nature of the interaction between EMFs and biological processes leading to cancer is not understood." However, they followed up by saying "In conclusion, several studies showing leukemia, lymphoma and cancer of the nervous system in children exposed to EMFs, supported by similar findings in adults in several occupational studies also involving electrical power frequency exposures, show a consistent pattern of response that suggest a causal link." To quote Paul Brodeur, author of The Great Power-line Cover-Up "What industry spokespeople conveniently overlooked, of course, was that thirty years after definitive epidemiology had been conducted to show that asbestos was a potent cancer-producing agent, scientists still do not know the mechanism by which and inhaled asbestos fiber reacts in lung tissue to cause cancer. Nor do they understand the mechanism by which cigarette smoke reacts in lung tissue to cause lung cancer or how DDT operates in breast tissue to cause breast cancer. Suffice it to say, if public health authorities had been required to wait for the cancer-producing mechanisms of these agents to be fully understood, regulations governing asbestos exposure would not have been implemented; warnings on cigarette smoking would not have been issued; and the twenty-year ban on DDT would not have been imposed."
Electricity and the human body
Long before mankind "discovered" electricity, then learned to generate, harness and use it so effectively/ our bodies, uniquely and wonderfully made, were generating low level electric impulses to communicate between cells and to send messages through our nervous system. Luigi Galvani, an Italian physician and physicist in 1791, discovered that the muscles of dead frogs twitched when struck by a spark. This was one of the first forays into the study of bioelectricity, a field that still today studies the electrical patterns and signals of the nervous system. According to Wikipedia; "Bioelectromagnetism (sometimes equated with bioelectricity) refers to the electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic fields produced by living cell, tissue or organisms. Examples include the cell membrane potential and the electric currents that flow in the nerves and muscles as a result of action potentials." We are electrical beings. Our bodily functions cease when the electric current stops. When a person's heart stops and they attempt to revive them, paddles are used sending a jolt of electrical current to jump start the heart muscle again! Recently a family member with an irregular heartbeat had his heart "shocked" with electrical current to try to normalize the heart rhythm.
Some of the most damaging EMFs to the bodies systems seem to be the ones emitted from cell phones, WiFi hot spots, cell towers, etc. that are covering our landscape more and more.These particular kind of information carrying radio waves (ICRW's) are highly disruptive to our bodies. Sherrill Sellman, ND,is a naturopathic doctor, psychotherapist, international lecturer, radio host, writer and author of the best-selling book Hormone Heresy: What Women Must Know About Their Hormones wrote this in Nexus Magazine Aug/Sept 2007 "Although the wireless technology industry and some governmental agencies continue to assure the public of the safety of cell phones (which is very reminiscent of the tobacco industry), the truth is that recent scientific evidence has revealed an emerging pattern of severe health problems caused from exposure to near-field radiation. Cell phones are anything but safe and harmless. Some of the specific biological problems include disruption to the blood-brain barrier, genetic damage, breakdown in cell-to-cell communication and increase in the risk of cancers."
Because our bodies communicate through low level electric impulses, the human body, it stands to reason is affected by electricity. It seems only natural and reasonable to assume that in a world with 100 to 200 millions times more radiation in our environment than our grand-parents lived in, that our bodies would experience some definite effects!! A variety of articles with detailed information from leaders in the field have been posted on another website liveinhealth.inspiredwellness.411.com for your further review and education.

Health Issues linked to EMR exposure
There are many different diseases that seem to be linked to constant EMF exposure. One of grave concern is outlined by Sherrill Sellman, ND in her article entitled Electropollution, Hormones and Cancer . She shares much about how the suppression of the endocrine glands by EMFs can result in cancer and many other health problems. The melatonin suppression that is evident from numerous studies gives a clear indication of problems ahead. Sellman also describes how the stress hormones and the adrenal gland function is compromised leading to abnormally increased levels of adrenalin and cortisol. Women especially, should consider the evidence presented relating to EMFs and breast cancer.
In his book entitled The Invisible Threat, Dr. Fisher documents the studies and data regarding EMFs effect on Childhood Cancer, Heart Disease, Immune Function, Cortisol and Hormone Secretion, and states "The evidence is absolutely overwhelming that the EMFs affect serum melatonin and pineal gland function"!
What is the correct response to these concerns?
First, we need to encourage continuing research on the subject, especially beginning with children who use the technology so much in their generation. The studies should run over at least a 10 year period. We need to see the long term effects of EMFs on human health. Many countries are conducting studies, and health agencies in six countries (UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and Israel) have recommended reducing children's exposure to cell phone radiation! Here in the US we need to stop being so trusting of the cell phone industry and do the proper long term research!! We must become more serious and aware of the issues involved!!
Secondly, recognition of the concerns regarding EMFs needs to be publicized much more to the general public. One of the main reasons for this article on my blog is to generate awareness!! Please share the article and links with others on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Follow the links and educate yourself more fully regarding these concerns.
Thirdly, each individual must be responsible for taking precautionary actions. We know that it is not wise to stand next to a microwave when it is operating, and those who administer x-rays in a doctor or dentists office know to protect themselves by stepping out of the room when the machine is on! You will notice how the assistant who takes the x-ray in a dentists office will also cover the areas of your body near the machine to protect it from the rays effects! We all know that x-rays have a cumulative affect on the body and they should be limited as much as possible. In the same way, we need to limit the use of cell phones, especially by the very young or at least find some products that can assist in protecting us from the stressors of EMF radiation!
I have followed the problem for many years and have found products that personally work for our household. For several years now I have used the products I recommend to assist your bodies in dealing with the stress of EMFs. I and my family members have experienced many benefits from these products. They harmonize your body and help protect it from these stressors. One is designed to be attached to your Cell Phone, and others used on computers and appliances within the home that emit EMRs. There are products that harmonize the environment of an entire room or vehicle you drive. I religiously wear a pendant every day that harmonizes the environment around my body at all times whether at home or traveling! A room harmonizer is plugged in to every hotel room when I arrive! Knowing what I now do, the potential danger is too great for me to ignore for myself and I would be remiss in not sharing the products with you also! In every area of life, I have found the best response is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!! Protect and prevent, rather than repair and repent!! Remember, an earlier post on this blog MAINTENANCE OR MAJOR REPAIR is my motto!!
NOTE: As I have said many times in this blog. What we share is our own personal journey of optimal health and is not to be considered medical advice or to replace the counsel or advice of your physician.

Hey Ted
ReplyDeleteThanks for this - I ahve often thought about it , and no longer use a microwave but an dependant on my phone and computers so was tpp fearful to look into this further. It didnt cross my mind that thee would be protective products....
and here they are!
you superstar
