What's the Deal with EMFs?

What's the Deal with EMFs?

Valerie Burke

Public concern about our increasing exposure to EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies), is on the rise. We all live in a sea of radiation and it’s getting worse. Computers, cell phones, cordless phones, smart meters, Wi-Fi—it’s all around us.

We are electrical beings. Everything in the natural world produces an electromagnetic field, from animals to humans to the earth herself. Research is mounting about the health risks of our long-term exposure to this unnatural radiation. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences defines EMFs as “invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power.” 

Are EMFs dangerous?

There is significant science about the dangers of EMFs. Research is mounting about the health risks of our long-term exposure to this unnatural radiation, including cardiac arrhythmias, reproductive abnormalities and increased risk of miscarriage, brain and heart tumors, hormone disruption, cognitive issues, DNA damage, insomnia, fatigue, malaise, digestive maladies, cataracts, and the list goes on.

Do EMFs Cause Cancer?

Disturbing evidence points to EMFs being a cause of cancer. In 2016, the National Toxicology Program released the preliminary results from the largest ever cell phone study showing a link between cell phone radiation and cancer. 

Rats exposed to the frequency of radiation emitted by cell phones were shown to develop two kinds of cancerous tumors: gliomas in the brain and schwannomas in the heart. Sadly, these results are in alignment with several observational studies finding links to the same types of tumors in humans, plus acoustic neuromas and meningiomas.

It is a little-known fact that in 2011, after extensive scientific review, the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization) released a report classifying cell phone radiation as a possible human carcinogen.

The studies are disturbing.

In 2016, the National Toxicology Program released the preliminary results from the largest ever cell phone study showing a link between cell phone radiation and cancer. Rats exposed to the frequency of radiation emitted by cell phones develop two kinds of cancerous tumors: gliomas in the brain and schwannomas in the heart. Sadly, these results are in alignment with several observational studies finding links to the same types of tumors in humans, plus acoustic neuromas and meningiomas.

Another study found that using a cellphone for just 20 minutes per day increased brain tumor risk by 300 percent over the course of five years.

Whatever risks cell phones and other electronic devices pose to us, they carry an even greater risk to our children. Holding a cellphone to your ear allows between 10 and 80 percent of the EMFs to penetrate two inches into your brain—which is especially concerning for infants and children whose heads are smaller and delicate brains are still developing.

And now 5G is here, the next generation of wireless networks. According to EMF expert Dr. Martin Pall, this latest wave of wireless is associated with brain damage, cell death, hormone disruption, life threatening cardiac arrhythmias, DNA damage - and the list goes on.

In spite of all this, the US government continues to insist cell phones and wireless communication are completely safe.

Who needs EMF protection?

Anyone spending time around devices such as cell phones, computers, cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, microwave ovens, TVs, radios, baby monitors and the like would benefit from some protection.

If you suffer from symptoms of electrohypersensitivity, it is even more important to reduce your exposure and implement some EMF protection. Not everyone feels the effects of EMFs – or realizes they are experiencing symptoms – but it has been shown that EMFs affect all living tissues whether we “feel” it or not.
