EMF's ? What are they?
EMF’s are a powerful interference to our health and many people do not know what they are or how they cause difficulty in our lives. EMF stands for electromagnetic fields. They’re the frequencies that are emitted from power stations and lines, powered appliances, big screen TV’s (especially HD), wireless internet, cordless and cell phones, fluorescent lights and simple powered items like hair dryers and electric blankets. The electromagnetic fields are actually electrical pollution to our bodies. There is substantial research which indicates these fields cause a biological effect (cellular changes) on humans. Even though there are many sources of information that would suggest the dangers of EMF’s there are still some experts that feel the threat is unsubstantiated.
Although, there is no debate that EMF’s are an environmental influence of growing concern due to the advances in technology in all civilized populations. Another thing that is absolutely certain is that exposure to EMF’s weakens our bodies natural energy. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to completely avoid exposure to EMF’s in the world we live in today. We have a normal magnetic field which is good energy to our body. If we are exposed to the fields of energy or frequencies emitted from sources of electrical pollution our natural magnetic energy is reduced.
This may sound odd, but you can do a little strength experiment at home to test it for yourself. Stand up and put your arm straight out in front of your body. Have a friend push down on your arm while you resist, to test your strength. Go stand in front of a big screen TV or turn on a hair dryer and while holding it have your friend re-test your strength. You will see that the exposure to the electromagnetic field is actually draining to your body’s natural energy field. This is demonstrated by your loss of strength. I find that some individuals are more sensitive to EMF exposure than others. I think this often has to do with the amount of daily time a person is regularly exposed ie: spends in front of a computer or on a cell phone, as well as if an individual is not properly hydrated.
The following are various symptoms that may be related to exposures to EMF’s:
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Foggy Thinking
• Eye Strain
• Irritability
• Skin Rashes
• Illness
I use an inexpensive solution in my office called a multi-polar magnet to protect from the loss of the bodies magnetic field when exposed to EMF’s. When it is placed on the body in the pocket of pants or in a bra, it protects. This protection is easily demonstrated by the return of strength that was lost when exposed to an EMF. I personally use a multi-polar magnet daily as I work next to an electrical machine much of the day and my husband wears magnetic insoles in his shoes as some men don’t want to keep track of a pocket magnet. I’ve had the occasion to forget my magnet and notice that I definitely am more fatigued after a full day without it.
Maintaining normal body energy is more important than just prevention of fatigue. Our body needs a good level of energy to function normally as well as maintain strength in all organ systems but in particular the immune system. Good health and high energy go together. In addition, good health and a good nights sleep are also important. Last year I spent a week in Baltimore for a seminar. I am generally a very good sleeper but this trip was different. The seminar was very intense and demanding and I didn’t sleep well at all the first night, then the second, then the third and fourth as well. I had taken melatonin with me to aid in sleeping in a new environment but it wasn’t working. Finally, on the fifth day I thought about the EMF’s. I searched my room for all the plugs. To my astonishment I found an unusually large plug behind the headboard of my bed that accompanied the alarm clock/iPod station. I unplugged it and all the lamps and the large screen TV across from my bed and presto I slept like the baby the rest of the time I was there. Hotels are definitely sources of loads of EMF’s in one location and this may be a concern to you if you travel or even live in an area of the city that is more tightly packed with people like our French Quarter.
I also use another device to further protect against EMF disturbances. This device is called a “Total Shield.” I would highly suggest this for anyone living near a power station, high voltage power lines, TV or Radio towers in addition to anyone with wireless internet. Also, remember that infants and children a more susceptible to interference. The Total Shield is designed to interrupt and eliminate grid lines, geomagnetic, electromagnetic standing waves, extremely low frequencies, and other harmful waves. This device is protective to approximately 10,000 square feet. I have a “Total Shield” both in my office and in my home.
So think about protecting your bodies energy and your cells from EMF’s, especially if you work with computers all day, or with electrical equipment, or in an environment where there are wireless internet connections. I was rechecking a patient I had worked with in the past for immune support. I often do applied kinesiology or muscle response testing to test for nutritional supplements. This patient was so “untestable” that it was amazing to me. I had worked with her a number of times and never seen her in this condition. I knew she was drinking a lot of water and her adrenals were supported. The absence of either of these situations can make a person “untestable”. I inquired as to what she had been doing prior to seeing me. She had gone to the Apple Store with her husband. That was the answer. I worked to fix the electrical confusion in her body and I was able to test her.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article there is still a debate regarding the effect of EMF’s on our body especially regarding biological changes like DNA changes which could result in illnesses like cancer. Regardless of the scientific debate I do think it is prudent to give thought to EMF exposure and children especially regarding cell phone useage. This is new to our generation. The baby boomers did not use cell phones as kids. Boomers kids are using them and often very early. There are a couple of specific concerns with kids. They are growing at a much faster rate than adults and that means cell replication is occurring faster. This makes them more susceptible to DNA damage. In addition, especially with cell phones, the circumference of their heads are much smaller than adults. The EMF’s from cell phones spike especially when the phone rings or when a call is made. These spikes penetrate the skull therefore the brain. The depth of penetration is more dangerous for kids than adults. In addition, the number of hours of usage is a concern. Teens in particular love to spend hours on their cell phones. But don’t discount this concern for adults, especially those of you who use blue tooth devices. In addition, it’s not smart to have a cell phone on your body all day. The best thing to do is take them out of your pockets and use a headset that plugs into the phone. Do not lay the phone on your lap while talking put it aside from your body. There are devices available which protect our brains from the EMF spikes. Protective devices are available for phones but they are often bulky and unattractive when placed on the phone.
Please do not underestimate this toxin and it’s effects on your health. Be sure you and your family have taken the necessary steps to protect yourselves from EMF’s!
