EMF and our electro-chemical selves.
The human body is bombarded by electromagnetic frequency radiations from the military and telecommunications infrastructure, cell towers, water and electric meters, and from the many devices we choose to surround ourselves with on a daily basis. Our bodies are electro-chemical organisms, dependant on small electrical impulses to function normally. If we have insufficient electrolytes in our bodies those processes do not operate optimally and we can experience symptoms. So the obvious question is ‘Can EMF radiations interfere with the electrical signalling in our bodies and cause disease?’
A Long Entwined History
The relationship between the human body and electricity is both long and complicated. Historically significant outbreaks of ‘disease’ have regularly occurred shortly after the release of new technologies with the inventors themselves often experiencing extensive serious health problems. Essential Reading is ‘The Invisible Rainbow’ by Arthur Firstenberg. Learn how the inventor of Radio Frequencies, Marconi, suffered 10 heart attacks in his life and how other inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell suffered life long health problems.
Government and telecommunications companies insist these technologies are safe but if we reflect that the same was said for mercury, thalidomide, DDT, tobacco, asbestos, benzene, dioxins, lead in petrol, many pesticides, chlorine, endocrine-disrupting compounds and more recently sodium valproate we may wish to verify safety claims for ourselves.

Evidence suggesting EMF radiations can be harmful is easy to find. Just a few are listed below along with the relevant URLs so they can be verified if you are concerned this may be a factor in your symptoms.
The Bioinitiative Report
The first publication in 2007 reviewed over 2,000 scientific papers, was written by more than a dozen world-recognized experts in science and public health policy and concluded that existing public safety limits were inadequate to protect public health. The 2012 update was prepared by 29 authors from ten countries, ten holding medical degrees (MDs), 21 PhDs, and three MsC, MA or MPHs. They reviewed a further 1,800 studies and their summary concluded:
‘A collision of the wireless technology rollout and the costs of choosing unwisely is beginning and will grow. The groundwork for this collision is being laid as a result of increased exposure, especially to radiofrequency fields, in education, in housing, in commerce, in communications and entertainment, in medical technologies and imaging, and in public and private transportation by air, bus, train and motor vehicles. Special concerns are the care of the foetus and new-born, the care for children with learning disabilities, and consideration of people under protections of the Americans With Disabilities Act, which includes people who have become sensitized and physiologically intolerant of chronic exposures. The 2012 Report now addresses these issues as well as presenting an update of issues previously discussed’ Source
International Journal of Oncology Report
A study published October 2021 stated ‘Exposure of animals/biological samples to human‑made electromagnetic fields (EMFs), especially in the extremely low frequency (ELF) band, and the microwave/radio frequency (RF) band which is always combined with ELF, may lead to DNA damage. DNA damage is connected with cell death, infertility and other pathologies, including cancer…….Dysfunction of ion channels disrupts intracellular ionic concentrations, which determine the cell’s electrochemical balance and homeostasis.’
There are no doubt many studies arguing the case either way, but it is not the objective of this post to make any definitive claim about EMF radiations and their effect on human health. Some people are very sensitive to electric and magnetic fields (electrosensitive) whist others are not. Instead it is simply to encourage you to investigate, read, think and apply the knowledge to your own symptoms.
Comment
After becoming very sick from over-exposure to a cell tower in 2022 I purchased an EMF meter making the invisible frequencies visible and audible. As a result I am now extremely aware of the EMF radiation frequencies all around me and make every effort to protect my body. The theme of this site is one of returning our bodies to their natural healthy state. But this involves more than just dietary choices. It requires we become aware of our bodies needs, of the things that could be causing us harm, and take steps to protect our bodies where necessary.
If your research does lead you to have concerns about EMF radiations there are many good ideas to help and protect your body on lovetechnologies.net.
