EMF Pollution: Can Electrical Appliances Harm Your Health?
Imagine there’s an invisible pollutant that is affecting all of us. Imagine we all contribute to this pollution on a daily basis by simply watching television or using other appliances or driving our cars. Imagine that this pollution can contribute to diseases such as Diabetes, Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Okay, what am I talking about? Ever heard of electromagnetic fields (EMF), or electromagnetic radiation (EMR)?
Over the next few weeks, I will take a look at EMF Pollution which has been hailed as the ‘Hidden Illness’.
Consider the following:
Never before in the history of mankind have people lived in environments so laden with EMF Pollution. The average person is exposed to over 100 million times more radiation than their grandparents. With the arrival of cell phones, cell phone towers, blackberries and Wifi, the amount of electromagnetic frequencies bombarding the average individual is higher than ever, prompting scientists to label our generation as EMF guinea pigs.
Why pollution?
Almost all electrical and mechanical appliances radiate EMFs or EMR. EMFs are made up of two things: electrical fields and magnetic fields and these fields emit energy waves. Energy waves get transmitted through the air to all kinds of receivers – mobile phones, laptops, computers, antennas etc. Think about this: In a world where the average car emits more EMRs than a chest X-ray, EMF Protection has become a necessity.
So how does this work exactly?
There are two types of EMF:
1.Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF), which are generated by electrical appliances and power lines
2.Radiofrequency radiation (RF), which is most commonly used to transmit wireless signals (and you know how much of that is around theses days…), such as mobile phones, broadcast transmission towers and cordless phones.
Dirty electricity
Almost all electrical currents are generated at 60 Hz, but high voltage changes can contaminate the 60Hz transmission frequency causing an excess of “dirty electricity” that exposes all of us to high-frequency radiation. So what is the threat all about? It is important to realize that all “chaotic” non-biological electricity is a threat to our physical, emotional and mental health.
Just as some people are more resilient against airborne pollution and diseases than others, the same can be said about the symptoms associated with electrical pollution. However, long-term exposure that does not lead to immediate symptoms can still result in increasing physiological side effects and symptoms that may ultimately cause serious disease. Every person is affected by electrical pollution, but some people are more sensitive, less resilient and therefore more vulnerable to health problems associated with high EMF pollution.

Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
Nice site! Informing the public re “prudent electric field avoidance” is essential.
Moving elec appliances including elec clocks, fans and/or unplugging heating pads, elec blankets before falling asleep plus removing cell phones, i-Pods and any item with a speaker (magnet) away from close proximity to bodies of humans as well as animals may help reduce many adverse health symptoms from poor sleep, asthma, etc. to early dementia, symptoms of autism-spectrum and more.

I experienced severe EMF sensitivities for about 4 months, to the point where I could not run the central heat in my house,(still sensitive to that somewhat), had to use candles and flashlight at night, could not drive my car, watch TV, use computer or DVD player, go into big stores,you name it. I was diagnosed with TMJ, had that adjusted by a chiropractor and am much better as the electrical system in your body goes haywire with TMJ. I can lead a more normal life now. Still concerned about air conditioning this summer, though.
Thanks for the info – important stuff…
For protection visit a kinesiologist or other complementary practitioner
To protect from the radiation: Mobile phone masts, WiFi, cordless phones all transmit 24/7 at resulting in similar levels of exposure.Cable up all wireless devices and protect from radiation from neighbours cordless devices and phone masts.
