Dangers Of EMF Radiation

Cancers in the head and the neck are increasing in Sweden according to the latest cancer incidence data from the Swedish Cancer Registry. Cancers in the thyroid and the mouth are among the cancers that have seen the sharpest rise during the last decade but also the trend for cancers of the pituitary are on the rise.

Among men aged 50 -79 years malignant brain tumors, grade 3-4 are also increasing visibly. The increase of these cancers has coincided with increasing use of mobile phones during the same time period while the increasing trend of malignant brain tumours, gliomas, might be an effect of long term use of mobile phones.

CBS News: Cell Phones Cause Brain Cancer

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]It is clear that living organisms perceive EMFs as environmental stressors [4–7]. But since man-made EMFs constitute a very new stressor for living organisms within the billions of years of biological evolution, the cells have not developed defensive mechanisms, for example, special genes to be activated for protection against electromagnetic stress of man-made EMFs. This can be the reason why in response to man-made EMFs cells are found to activate heat-shock genes and produce heat-shock proteins very rapidly (within minutes) and at a much higher rate than for heat itself [6]. It seems to be for the same reason that mobile phone radiation is found to induce DNA damage and cell death in insect reproductive cells at a higher degree than other types of external stressors examined before like food deprivation or chemicals [8–10]. Thus it appears that cells are much more sensitive to man-made EMFs than to other types of stress previously experienced by living organisms such as heat, cold, starvation, or chemicals. But repetitive stress leading to continuous expression of heat-shock genes or DNA damage may lead to cancer [111].[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text]A new updated BioInitiative 2012 Report  says that evidence for risks to health has substantially increased since 2007 from electromagnetic fields (EMF) and wireless technologies/radiofrequency radiation (RFR).  The report reviews over 1800 new scientific studies and includes 29 independent science and medical experts from around the world.  Cell phone users, parents-to-be, young children and pregnant women are at particular risk.

Christopher Dodge, affiliated with the Library of Congress, wrote the first comprehensive review of the world (especially the Soviet and Eastern European) literature on the biological effects of microwaves in 1964.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”double”][vc_column_text]

HERE ARE A FEW GEMS FROM THIS DOCUMENT:

  1. By 1933 Soviet scientists recognized that electromagnetic fields affected the human nervous system.  Indeed changes to the central (CNS) and autonomic (ANS) nervous system attributed to radio frequency radiation were frequently documented, as were additional effects as shown in Table 1. Frequencies from 30 MHz to 300 GH at both thermal (greater than 10 mW/cm2) and non-thermal (microW/cm2 to milliW/cm2) intensities were known to affect the CNS.
  2. The most disappointing aspect of the literature cited was the absence of information on the specific circumstances of the irradiation, characteristics of the environment and the conditions of the body exposed, which makes repetition of the studies difficult.
  3. Panov et al. (1966) proposed three chronological stages of human response to microwaves (Table 2).
    The first stage is not marked by severe episodes such as fainting or dramatic changes in pulse or blood pressure and the subject responds to outpatient treatment.
    The second stage is called the “syndrome of autonomic and vascular dystonia” and the key features include altered pulse including bradycardia (slow) and tachycardia (rapid), either high or low blood pressure, altered ECG and general neuro-circulatory asthenia.  Severe episodes (fainting) may occur and the subject requires hospitalization of unspecified nature or duration.
    The third stage is called diencephalic syndrome in which visceral dysfunctions and crisis are observed.  Typical episodes include apathic embolic disorders, hypersomnia, hypokinesis, hypothalamo-pituitary-suprarenal weakness, and inhibition of sexual and digestive reflexes.  Panov claims these changes are not always reversible and that subjects require hospitalization.
  4. The general subjective complaints resulting from EMR exposure shown in Table 3 resemble symptoms associated with electrohypersensitivity (EHS).
  5. Edelwejn (1966) found that the symptoms (Table 3) experienced by Polish personnel exposed to microwave radiation for up to six hours/day depended on the length of employment and degree of exposure. During the first three years, a dramatic response to microwave exposure accompanied by neurotic symptoms was reported.  This was followed by a gradual adaption phase and then, many years later, by the reappearance of neurologic symptoms. Soviet workers exposed to electric and magnetic fields near hydroelectric stations also complained of symptoms in Table 3.  Ospiov (1965) concluded that most subjective symptoms were reversible and that pathological damage to neural structures was insignificant.
  6. In one study, a larger percentage of subjects exposed to weak (1 to 100s microW/cm2) and moderate (100s microW/cm2) levels of EMR experienced symptoms than those who were sporadically exposed to intense levels (3000 to 4000 microW/cm2) (see Figure 1 below, note this figure is based on Table 4 of the original document).
  7. Pulsed ultra high frequency (UHF) fields [0.3 to 3 GHz] could be used as a form of contactless electrosleep, which was called radio-sleep.
  8. Numerous changes were documented in the blood including altered blood sugar, cholesterol and lipids; altered levels of pyruvic acid, lactic acid, and creatinine; as well as hematopoietic [blood forming processes] and biochemical responses to electromagnetic radiation (see Tables 8,9, 10).
  9. Effects on the functioning of and damage to the eyes were mostly documented at either acute or chronic thermal levels of exposure (see Table 11).
  10. Major endocrine responses included altered functioning of the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands.  Damage to sex glands and functions have been frequently documented after chronic exposure to primarily thermal intensities (Table 12).  Decreased spermatogenesis, altered sex ratio at birth (excess females), changes in menstruation, retarded fetal development, congenital effects in newborns, decreased lactation in nursing mothers have been documented as result of thermal exposure (greater than 10,000 microW/cm2).

Based on data in Table 4, Dodge, 1969.  [Note:  U.S. and Canadian guidelines are 1,000 microW/cm2 so the weak and moderate exposures are well below these guidelines.]

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO ORGANIZE OUR CHI?

  1. More life force (Chi) in our body equals better health
  2. The more organized our Chi is (no blockages etc.) the easier it is for our body to repair itself from injury, disease and ailments of all kinds.
  3. Practices such as Qigong and TaiChi improve and reorganize the Chi in the practitioner’s system.
  4. As a healing art, qigong practitioners focus on prevention and self-healing, traditionally viewed as balancing the body’s energy meridians and enhancing the intrinsic capacity of the body to heal.[8]Qigong has been used extensively in China as part of traditional Chinese medicine, and is included in the curriculum of Chinese Universities.[29] Throughout the world qigong is now recognized as a form of complementary and alternative medicine,[30][31][32] with positive effects on diverse ailments.[33][34]

Obviously maintaining our Chi should be very high on our priority list. But is it?

In the modern lifestyle much more time is spent watching television and sports than actually participating in these types of activities. Even when people are regularly exercising, it is often in an indoor environment devoid of Chi (health clubs, indoor swimming pools) and teaming with toxins and recycled air. Even many of today’s yoga studios are in cold environments where the doors and windows must be kept closed in order to maintain a reasonable temperature.

The second problem is that even when we can manage to increase our Chi through proper breathing of fresh air and the appropriate exercise we usually enter and indoor environment that is filled with chemicals, WiFi signals, Cell phone signals and a host of other electromagnetic and radiation filled atmospheres from obvious and unsuspecting sources. In January 2012 it was discovered that something as simple as a facial tissue box at Bed, Bath and Beyond had radioactive cobalt 60 in the metal. Health authorities were quick to say that the radioactive cobalt was not dangerous and was not a health threat and the boxes were immediately pulled from the stores in California. What kind of message is that? Some experts believe that there is no “safe level” of radiation (ionizing radiation such as radioactive materials).

“The current hypothesis is that even the smallest levels of radiation result in an increased risk of cancer.  Radiation experts call this the LNT (Linear no Threshold) hypothesis.  It is unlikely that this view will change in the foreseeable future.” http://www.marts100.com/radiation.htm#Q11

Another big controversy is about Cell Phone radiation (non ionizing radiation such as microwave and EMF radiation). WiFi hotspots and Cell phone towers are believed to be causing health problems in hundreds of thousands of people in Sweden and Canada where it is an officially recognized health problem called EHS or Electro-HyperSensitivity. In Sweden alone there seems to be more than 250 thousand sufferers alone. Symptoms range from mild nausea to completely going unconscious when a nearby cell phone is active.

“A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed.  It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn’t flat.  When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.”
