Why Is EM Radation Exposure So Dangerous?
You may not realize it, but your own body uses
electromagnetic fields to function properly. In fact, research
has demonstrated that every cell in your body may have its own
EMF.
In his book “The Body Electric,” researcher and author Robert
Becker demonstrates that our cells actually communicate with
each other via bioelectrical signals and electromagnetic fields.
These natural EMFs help regulate
important biochemical processes of all kinds. Maintaining
balance in those cellular electromagnetic fields is crucial to
your physical health.
What Are The Dangers Of EM
Radiation To Humans?
Unfortunately, your body can
also be influenced by the powerful artificial EM Radiation
around you. That’s where the trouble starts.
How Does Harmful Electromagnetic Radiation Get Into Your Body?
When it comes to magnetic radiation (which is part of any EMF), the body is as easily
penetrated as air.
This means if you are near a powerful EMF,
electromagnetic radiation isn’t just around you, it’s inside
you.
According to Dr. Becker, your body’s electrical signals are well
within the range of those that can be stimulated by ambient
radio waves, microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic
radiation.
That harmful, unnatural type of stimulation can
seriously impact your body.
EM Radiation Can Cause Health Chaos…
Artificial EMFs change the
frequency of your body's electromagnetic fields through a
process called entrainment (or sympathetic resonance).
Entrainment is the tendency of an object to vibrate at the same
frequency as something outside of it. In other words, powerful
artificial EMFs overwhelm your body’s own electrical fields,
changing their frequency and distorting the balance of the
body's electromagnetic field and its communication systems. This
causes physical, mental and emotional chaos.
The danger doesn’t always pass once you get away from the strong
electromagnetic field. That’s because biological systems have
been proven to store electromagnetic radiation within the cells
in the form of electromagnetic oscillations. These oscillations
can stubbornly remain inside you, wreaking havoc with your
body’s most important processes.
Compounding this problem, metallic objects all around us act as
antennae. These include electrical circuits, telephone wiring,
water and gas pipes, even your keys and jewelry, which collect
and re-radiate these disorienting energy waves.
The highest frequency energy waves (X-rays, gamma rays and
others) can break chemical and molecular bonds, and can
literally rip atoms apart, disrupting the basic biochemical
structures of life.
The healthy human body resonates at around 10 hertz. Frequencies
above that create biological stress, tissue damage and serious
health problems.
Have There Been Any Electromagnetic
Radiation Studies?
Yes. Thousands of studies
worldwide have shown that overexposure to EMFs can lead to
weakened immunities, lowered resistance to bacterial and viral
infections and devastating illnesses like cancer.
The BioInitiative Working Group sounds the
alarm
An International working
group of leading scientists, researchers and public health
policy professionals is bringing scientific concerns about the
radiation to light.
Their 2007 report, the
BioInitiative Report, concludes that the
existing standards for public safety are completely inadequate
to protect your health.
The report includes studies showing
evidence that electromagnetic fields:
-
Affects gene and protein
expression (Transcriptomic and Proteomic Research)
-
Have Has genotoxic effects -
RFR and ELF DNA damage
-
Induces stress response
(Stress Proteins)
-
Affects immune function
-
Affects Neurology and
behavior
-
Causes childhood cancers
(Leukemia)
-
Impacts melatonin
production; Alzheimer’s Disease; Breast Cancer
-
Promotes breast cancer
(Melatonin links in laboratory and cell studies)
Other well-known studies link EMFs
to:
-
Enzyme changes that affect
DNA and cell growth; possible result is cancer and birth
defects.
-
Changed metabolism and
increased cell growth.
-
Fetal abnormalities,
probably caused by enzyme changes.
-
Gene expression changes,
which creates stress on your body and even result in
cancer.
-
Increased production of
stress proteins within cells, linked to Alzheimer’s
disease.
-
Chronic stress, which can
lead to heart conditions.
-
Neuro-hormone changes, which
can result in memory loss and impaired brain function.
-
Electro-smog disturbs the
growth of cells and the information flow between cells.
The Higher The EMF Frequency, The
More Serious The Health Effect
The fields that appear to
be of most concern are those that are very strong, near the
body, or of high frequency.
The Special Dangers Of Cell Phone
Electromagnetic Radiation
Because cellphones have
such powerful EMFs (usually in the microwave range!) and are
held to the head or kept close to the body, they are especially
dangerous.
-
Cellphones emit two kinds of
EMFs - microwave electromagnetic radiation from the
antenna, and more EMFs from the phone body - both are
harmful.
-
20-80% of the radiation from
a phone’s antenna penetrates up to 2 inches into the
adult brain.
-
Cell phones have thermal
effects (they heat biological tissue) as well as
non-thermal effects (affecting natural EMF frequencies)
-
Studies have shown that
people who sleep with a cellphone by the bed have poor
REM sleep, leading to impaired learning and memory.
Long-term effects remain to be seen.
-
When the cellphone signal is
held next to the head, brainwaves are altered a full 70%
of the time.
-
Many insurance companies are
so alarmed by the evidence that they now exclude health
issues related to cell phone radiation from coverage.
-
Most brain surgeons limit
their cellphone use, and counsel patients never to hold
them to their ears.
Yes, electromagnetic radiation can
harm human health, and the dangers are all around us.

“If Mobile Phones Were a Type of
Food, They Simply Would Not be Licensed,"
~Dr. Gerald Hyland,
The Lancet
“The evidence for risks from prolonged cell phone and
cordless phone use is quite strong. For people who have used
them for 10 years or longer, mainly on one side of the head,
the risk of malignant brain tumor is doubled for adults and
is even higher for persons with first use before age 20.”
~Brain tumor
specialist Dr. Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD, Orebro University
Hospital in Sweden
“There is a strong evidence that EMFs and radio/microwave
frequencies are associated with accelerated aging (enhanced
cell death and cancer) and moods, depression, suicide,
anger, rage and violence, primarily through alteration of
cellular calcium ions and the melatonin/serotonin balance.”
~Dr. Neil Cherry of
Lincoln University, New Zealand
