Do you know that the electromagnetic fields emitting from your cellular phone, pc, and other electronic devices may affect your brain? Here are some facts that show their adverse effects:
* A 2004 scientific study in Spain found that a two-minute call using a cellphone can change a child’s brain’s electrical activity up to one hour after the call. This modification in brain wave activity could cause loss of memory and concentration, lack of ability to learn and aggressiveness.
* Notable Swedish scientist Leif Salford cautioned that long-term exposure to cell phone radiation may weaken brain reserve capacity and cause today’s generation of young adults to go senile early in their lives.
* Researchers in Sweden found that rats which had been exposed to medium and high levels of radiofrequency radiation had a large quantity of dead brain cells in areas of the brain involved with learning, memory and movement.. This kind of damage in humans could result in the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, the research suggests.
* In the December 1996 issue of Neurology, Dr. Eugene Sobel and colleagues reported a fourfold increased risk of contracting Alzheimer’s Disease for subjects who worked in occupations with medium-to-high EMF exposure.
* Individuals with electrosensitivity, which is an unhealthy sensitivity to sources of electricity or electromatgnetic fields, may go through symptoms that include: nausea, headaches, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, dizziness, depression, irritability, anxity, insomnia, weakness, tremors, numbness, tingling, muscle and joint paint,altered reflexes, leg/foot pain, fever or ‘Flu-like’ symptoms, etc. Those who are severely afflicted (a condition calle electrical hypersensitivity) could be prone to seizures, psychosis, stroke, and even paralysis.
* A number of studies show that EMR exposure lowers levels of melatonin, a hormone involved in the regulation of sleep, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and the health of the immune system. Dr. Neil Cherry, a leading Environmental Health scientist, cautions that EMR exposure could increase the likelihood of problems related to melatonin reduction, including impaired immune system, diseases from viruses and infectionss, diabetes, arthritis, reproductive, nervous and heart disorders, cancer..
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
* Minimize use of computers, cellphones, and other electronic devices. (Often not a realistic or easy solution, but avoidance is always the primary intervention.)
* Electromagnetic radiation has been associated with decreased levels of anti-oxidants in the body. So take anti-oxidants, particularly glutathione, SOD, Coq10 and catalase . Other recommended supplements include:
- Melatonin: an excellent anti-oxidant noted to protect against DNA breaks in brain cells. Also effective in avoiding kidney damage from mobile phones;
- Zinc: safeguards the eye from oxidative damage and assists in maintaining the blood’s anti-oxidant levels;
- Gingko Biloba: an herb considered a powerful anti-oxidant which prevents oxidative damage in the eye, kidney and brain. Also helps support the production of SOD, catalase and glutathione;
* Use scientifically tested EMF protection devices. Technologies based on subtle energy physics are now available on the market that effectively reduce the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation. Recommended are wearable types that strengthens your bioenergetic field against the onslaught of EMF wherever you go. EMF radiation is known to be an unseen trigger of stress and fatigue that could lead to weakening of your immune system. The ideal EMF protection device strengthens your body against this environmental toxin and maintains its delicate homeostatic equilibrium. Good examples are the Q-Link pendant and EarthCalm Home Protection System.
It is now estimated that our daily exposure to electromagnetic radiation is a hundred million times greater than it was during our grandparents’ time. There are now about 4 billion people using cell phones alone. So everybody’s at risk. You don’t have to wait until you start experiencing health difficulties before you act.
