Our Energy makeup, Healthy Natural EMFs, and Unhealthy Manmade EMFs
We are energy
At our most fundamental level we are energy. Every cell, tissue, organ in our body is composed of electrically charged elements. You along with the earth, trees, birds, cats, dogs, air, sky, sun and everything else in the universe are electromagnetic energies. What we see, what physics calls ‘matter’, along with what we can touch, taste, hear and smell is energy. If it does not have energy it does not exist.
Natural Evolutionary Fields Required for Health
Our evolution was and continues to be dependent upon solar and earth electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and we require these fields for good health, even our survival. It has only been since approximately the early 1900’s that we have lived in manmade radiation fields, a blip on the evolutionary timetable. Our bodies have not had enough time to adapt to these foreign man-made fields and the evolving health issues we are confronting attest to this fact.
Natural Fields
Our bodies are in sync with the natural solar and earth fields. For example:
Our brain resonates with the pulses of the earth.
The body uses solar fields to generate energy to heat the body and for cellular information to signal the production of vitamin D.
The pineal gland in the brain senses light and secretes melatonin.
Our body developed a circadian rhythm that governs sleep and hormone cycles. It is an evolved energetic-bio process where our bodies are actually ‘in sync’ with natural fields.
Manmade Fields
The manmade fields use an expanse of frequencies (around 60Hz up to microwaves in the gigahertz range) to operate electrical power and wireless technologies. These are composed of unnatural invisible wave structures that penetrate our body negatively affecting our cellular functioning leading to a whole host of harmful effects.
Manmade wave structures are foreign to the body.
They are composed of unnatural wave patterns that penetrate and are absorbed by our body.
They disrupt our body’s cellular communications and break chemical bonds.
This radiation permeates most substances, including you.
What is on the other side of a wall you are sitting next to, or have your bed up against can be placing you in very high fields.The level of power intensity is magnitudes greater than natural fields, and can induce high and low currents in the body.
Layered in man-made fields
Our first significant exposure to man-made EMFs started in the 1950’s when we were exposed to Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF) from power lines and electrical wiring. Then, starting in mid 1990’s, when the digital rollout commenced in force, we were then layer in microwaves/radiofrequencies (RF) fields. With this rollout there was a third layering caused by what was dubbed ‘dirty electricity’ running on our electrical wiring and radiating into our living space. Currently 5G is being rolled out, essentially placing mini cell towers throughout cities and towns, into our neighborhoods and in close proximity to our homes.
The problem — our exposure is too much.
The solution — decrease exposure to manmade fields and increase your exposure to natural healthy fields.
Keeping the EMF Spectrum Simple - what do you need to know
The chart below reflects non-ionizing portion of the electromagnetic field spectrum (excerpt from What’s Ailing You?). It shows the general ranges of natural and manmade fields.
1) There are two primary fields - Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) and Radio Frequency(RF). Then within these are two subsets Dirty Electricity (DE) and Microwaves. Review the below chart and note each depicted area what operates under that field designation.
2) For each of the field designations in the chart the following generally holds true:
A different EMF meter is needed to assess your exposure.
There may be different strategy to reduce your exposure.
Today, devices and equipment often have wireless components thus they will span all the field ranges. For instance, a computer when operating wirelessly exposes you to RF. When it is on and you are near it, it exposes you to ELF. If it is plugged in it places DE on the electrical wiring. Do not let this cause dismay, there are easy ways to reduce the exposure - we just need to develop heathy habits in how we use technology — just like our healthy habit of looking both ways before we cross the street.
us guidelines are not protective — across all ranges
ELF and RF guidelines are not protective by orders of magnitude.
We do not even have guidelines for Dirty Electricity — a frequency biproduct from devices that radiates off wiring in home’s, office’s, and school’s. Some medical practitioners and scientists consider this one of our most harmful exposures.
Electric Fields — we are only protected from being electrocuted — The health concern is the radiation from electricity running on electrical wiring — it radiates into our living spaces and affects our health. Not uncommon to find levels greater than those established by building biologists and medical groups.
When are you exposed to radiation and what are their primary characteristics
If it is powered on, it is emitting radiation.
Each device and product that emits radiation adds to your exposure.
Proximity to source matters – generally the closer you are, the greater the intensity of exposure.
The greater the intensity, the greater the adverse health effects.
Duration of exposure matters. The damage accumulates, leading to ill health.
Some wave patterns are considered more bioactive such as pulsed digital signals from WIFI and other wireless communications devices and the spiked intense waves running on our electrical wiring and radiating into our living space called dirty electricity.
EMFs penetrate most objects including our body. They go through walls and can affect occupants in other rooms, and your neighbors WIFI radiation often extends into nearby homes — when you pull-up on your mobile device available WIFI connections, these are the WIFI fields you are currently in!
RF/microwaves extends great distances whereas ELF (the extremely low frequency range from electrically powered equipment and power lines) does not extend as far however it can penetrate and pass through most all objects.
Wiring errors or electricity running on water pipes in homes are not uncommon, and can place homes in high magnetic fields.
Devices can all have different exposure levels. Some computers can have more acceptable dirty electricity emissions, while others are at unhealthy levels; there is no standardization.
Towers and Antennas
We are unaware of much of our exposure. Cell tower studies have consistently shown many ill effects for those living within about 1,300 feet of a tower. You will be surprised just how many towers and antennas you are exposed to 24/7. Go to Antennasearch.com – to find out how many cell towers are within a 4-mile radius of your home or place of work.
OUR HOME ENVIRONMENT
Contrary to what many of us think, our homes today are often worse than the general environment, including around those ominous looking cell towers and power lines.
Unfortunately, we are limited on what we can do about general public exposures from towers, power lines, Wi-max, and smart meters. However, we do have control over much of our home environments.
SOME BASIC ACTIONS TO TAKE
Keep distance between you and electrically powered sources.
Choose wired over wireless.
Keep devices away from the body and use distance to reduce intensity.
Turn off wireless setting when not actively using, use airplane mode.
Avoid streaming or settings that have a wireless devise continually connecting to Wi-Fi or cell towers.
Use wireless functions when reception is very good.
Shut it all down at night, for sleeping. It is important to assure no device is still operating and trying to connect to the Wi-Fi router you just turned off — this is why I am adamant about having a meter, so you know exactly what needs to be shut down to protect you from EMFs while you sleep!
