WHAT ARE EMFs?
EMFs are electro-magnetic fields. The term usually refers to manmade EMFs that are either generated by our electrical system in buildings and appliances or by wireless transmitters (the most common of which are cell phones, cordless phones, laptops, cell towers, and wireless routers (or WiFi). This latter kind of EMFs is also referred to as microwave radiation or just radiation. WHAT DO EMFs DO TO THE HUMAN BODY? In general, manmade EMFs in our environment keep us from being able to connect to the Earth’s electro-magnetic field, which is where our bodies naturally heal and regenerate themselves. Since EMFs are biologically-meaningless to the body, when they hit the nervous system, the body interprets them as a threat. In response, the body then creates stress hormones, which slowly erode the immune system. People who have been in a highly electrically-hazardous environment in childhood and beyond often end up with any number of serious and chronic diseases, because their immune system has “collapsed.” When EMFs enter our body’s system, another important effect occurs: important minerals, such as calcium, potassium, sodium and lithium, which are needed to create metabolism in the cells, are ejected into the blood stream. From there, they are either inappropriately eliminated, causing such problems as mood instability, ADHD, depression or Alzheimers. Or, in the case of calcium, they are deposited in the joints, causing arthritis. Research has shown a direct correlation between EMF exposure and many diseases, such as cancer, Parkinsons, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Asthma, and Autism. Migraine and other headaches can also develop due to EMFs. HOW DO EARTHCALM PRODUCTS HELP PROTECT US FROM EMFs? EarthCalm Products ground us into the Earth’s electro-magnetic field (also known as the Schumann Resonance). This is the field our bodies are designed to live in, where they can naturally heal and thrive. When we are immersed in this field, man-made EMFs do not affect us.
How Do EMFs Harm Us?
Much research has been done on testing what exactly EMFs do when they enter the human body. In general, it can be said that the manmade EMFs in our environment seriously disrupt the body’s own very important EMF field.
The human EMF field, perhaps not surprisingly, resonates perfectly with the earth’s electromagnetic field. In fact, it’s recognized that it’s the earth’s field that provides us with the nurturing energy our bodies need for relaxation, healing and good health.
It’s why we feel so good out in nature—our bodies are resonating with the earth’s electromagnetic field.
The problem with man-made EMFs is when they enter our bodies, we are pulled out of the earth’s field and our bodies no longer have the opportunity to use this field for maintaining good health.
Other Evidence of EMF Health Effects
In addition, science has shown us that manmade EMFs also break DNA strands, interrupt cell functioning in a variety of ways, create stress proteins, and weaken the brain/blood barrier, allowing free radicals to enter the brain. All of these are precursor conditions for cancer cells to develop.
Furthermore, EMFs inhibit the production of melatonin in the body—an essential hormone that, among other things, destroys free radicals—something essential for preventing breast cancer, in particular. EMFs also adversely impact a man’s fertility and reproduction ability—especially if he carries his cell phone in his pants pocket or uses a laptop on his lap.
Symptoms of EMF Exposure
Part of what adds to the confusion about health effects of EMF exposure is that symptoms are extremely varied. It seems that every person is unique as to what aspects of their health are affected.
However, there are some common symptoms which include:
Headaches
Dizziness
Fatigue
Sleep disorders
Digestive problems
Depression, Anxiety
Irritability
It’s easy to understand why symptoms are all over the board when you realize that EMFs impair (among other things) the immune system. So whatever areas of a person’s health are vulnerable will be affected most by the EMFs.
Diseases Linked with EMF Exposure
Many scientific studies have also linked EMF exposure with a number of diseases, such as:
Cancer
Alzheimer’s
High Blood Pressure, Fibromyalgia
So Why Isn’t Everybody Sick?
With the vast amount of EMF exposure all of us are bombarded with every day, you may be asking why everyone isn’t sick. The answer is simple:
Electrosensitivity: Some people are more sensitive to EMFs than others, and so their symptoms are appearing at this time. There is a medical diagnosis for this condition: “electrosensitivity” or “electromagnetic hypersensitivity.”
More and more electrosensitive people are showing up in doctors’ offices these days. There’s actually a hospital in Canada with a clinic specifically for people with electrosensitivity. The hospital has a nine-month waiting list for patients to be seen.
Illness: Other people are showing symptoms at this point because their immune systems are already compromised by a chronic or acute disease, and they’re therefore experiencing symptoms because their immune systems are already on overload.
No Symptoms:
Those people who seem to have no symptoms at this time are simply people with stronger immune systems. But make no mistake: they are also being affected by the EMFs—their immune systems are simply being eroded by EMF exposure more slowly. They may not be feeling anything now, but symptoms will show up later.
