Cell phone/wi-fi radiation as a smoking gun??

Post by Zizzle »

Many of you know I have long been suspicious of EMF radiation in all its forms as a trigger of the autoimmune epidemic we have before us. I think it has a strong impact on kids, especially with the explosion of ADHD, allergies, and related conditions, even the growth of childhood cancers. Now here's a plausible explanation of how EMF does its damage...it makes our cells leaky! It loosens the "tight junctions" in our skin, intestine and brain tissues. Where have we heard that before?!? LEAKY GUT THEORY! It also changes our calcium, magnesium and potassium levels. Hmm!

Check out this slide show and see what you can make of it.

I believe I'm sensitive to EMF levels even though no one believes me. If my husband streams video or music to his cell phone or computer while we are driving, I get a mild headache in the front of my head, for the entire time the device is streaming data. He shuts it off, headache clears. Turns it on, it's back. I can't sleep if I look at a cell phone right before bed, although I attribute that to the light it emits.



Here's a powerful article that appeared on Dr. Mercola's site this week:


http://articles.mercola.com/sites/artic ... ation.aspx
Story at-a-glance

A panel of experts presented a wide range of scientific evidence that electromagnetic radiation from cell phones and other wireless technologies has indisputable biological, health and mental health effects, and are of particular concern for children.

Radiation from cell phones and Wi-Fi has already been shown to cause diminished reaction time, decreased brain motor function, social and emotional problems, and inability to focus on complex and long-term tasks in children

Cell phone use has been linked to nine types of cancer and to declines in sperm count and fertility

The evidence clearly supports the need for Wi-Fi-free or low-Wi-Fi areas where pregnant women, children and others sensitive to EMFs can be protected, and for precautionary education for these audiences.

Based on the well-established DNA impacts, there is sufficient evidence now to take proactive action to protect children, and this is especially important since DNA mutations are irreversible, as well as passed down to future generations.

Young children should not use cell phones except in an emergency; nor play with cell phones like toys. While one can put the phone in ‘airplane mode,’ which disconnects it from Wi-Fi and the Internet, the cell phone still emits magnetic fields from the battery, shown to have equally important biologically consequences, including links to childhood asthma and obesity from fetal exposures.

Overuse of the internet and multitasking in children has also been linked with social, emotional and relational underdevelopment and a chronically distracted view of the world

So my follow-up question, assuming this issue of membrane permeability is true...what hope do we have of ever truly healing our leaky guts/leaky skin cells/leaky brain cells, when we are bombarded by EMF all day, every day? (more so in big cities like mine)

Also, I believe EMF has the potential to alter our gut microbiota. Now that we are learning Americans have fewer varieties of beneficial bacteria, what's to say they weren't killed off by their sensitivity to EMF radiation! Gut microbe studies throughout the developed world are showing the same thing, it's not just the USA. Those countries may not share our food and our environment, but they do share the proliferation of cell phones and wi-fi technology!

This is so depressing!!

Hi Zizzle, When, I bought my new blackberry I read all the safety warnings and they warn you about the dangers. But, how many people read the warnings. There are many articles from Europe about the dangers of EMF's. In Finland they moved electric transmission lines away from schools because of the dangers. A good example of EMF's is trying to listen to an AM radio station when driving. I am glad there is FM. All the employee's of the stores that offer wi-fi are subjected to the EMF's during their work hours. Also in your house when you have multiple computers, cell phones tablets, etc. connected to your router. What would happen if there is a severe solar storm that knock out power for a few weeks or longer? It happened in 1859 but the only damage was the telegraph service. Also, it happen in Eastern Canada last year but only lasted a few days. Jon

I suppose it can be said I've gone all in with earthing over the last month! I've bought grounding bed sheets for sleeping on, & earthing mats for use during the day. It's been a pleasant surprise at how much better I feel doing this. Honestly I didn't expect this good of a result.

From what I've noticed I sleep more soundly, muscle soreness has all but gone away from sports play, and overall I feel more calm and settled. From what I've read grounding can have a protective effect against some typical electrical fields found around the house. My thinking is that likely is playing a part in my improved health I'm finding.

I just began reading Ann Louise Gittleman's book Zapped. Saw she has a number of nice write ups on her sight about the possible negative effects EMF fields can have along with ways to limit EMF bombardment. For example ~

Hi Blueberry, Interesting post about grounding. Did you ever shake somebody's hand and feel the negative or positive energy? Jon

Nah gluten - can't say I've felt energy when shaking someones hands. I don't feel energy when grounding either.

Here is some additional information about grounding or earthing helping with lowering EMF fields. Thought the video provides a nice demonstration.
