We are inundated with Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted from our phones, laptops, tablets and computer. All of these electronic devices emit artificial radio frequency, known as Electromagnetic fields (EMF). The intensity of Electromagnetic radiation in our human environment is increasing exponentially, and is currently at a level never experienced before on earth. Hence, there is a growing scientific and social interest in its influence on our health. As research emerges, it is evident that Electromagnetic radiation emitted form our devices is harmful to human health, especially children.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine ( AAEM) have documented significant harmful effects that occur from EMF exposure due to direct tissue penetration, such as genetic damage, reproductive defects, cancer, neurological degeneration, and nervous system dysfunction, immune dysfunction amongst others. EMF studies have repeatedly shown gene mutations and DNA fragmentation, which cause cell mutation and cancer.
Children are particularly at risk from EMF exposure, as a child’s body absorbs more radiation than an adults according to The Stewart Report. In reviewing these reports children absorb up to 60 percent more energy per pound of body weight than adults do. Todays standard for the maximum signal strength of cell phones is known to penetrate an adult skull up to one inch. The same phone signal can pass directly through a Childs head.

The effects of prolonged EMF exposure can be cumulative and will span children’s’ lifetimes. This exposure is unprecedented and not experienced by previous generations.
Male and female reproductive systems are also at risk from EMF exposure. In one study, Dr. Conrado Avendano and his colleagues of Nascentis Medicina Reproductiva in Cordoba found that “the use of a laptop computer wirelessly connected to the Internet and positioned near the male reproductive organs may decrease human sperm quality.”
Their study found that after a four-hour exposure, 25 percent of the sperm was no longer active compared to 14 percent from sperm samples stored at the same temperature over the same time period and away from the computer. They also noted that 9 percent of the sperm showed DNA damage, three times the damage found in the comparison samples.
Similarly, the Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health reported laptop EMF emissions create health concerns particularly for women and their foetuses. The study found that Swedish EMF standards were exceeded by 71 to 483 percent by the laptops used in the study which, by the standard’s definition, increases risk for tumour development.
Many studies have revealed a link between the use of these types of technological devices and various forms of illness, due to a breakdown at the cellular level.
Dr. Martin Pall’s research on 5G and EMF radiation reveals 8 ways EMF radiation impacts our bodies:
1. Nervous system and brain: sleep disturbance/insomnia; fatigue/tiredness; headache; depression; lack of concentration/attention/cognitive dysfunction; dizziness/vertigo; memory changes; restlessness/anxiety/stress; irritability.
2. Endocrine/hormonal systems: The steroid hormone levels drop with prolonged EMF exposure, whereas other hormone levels increase with initial exposure.
3. Oxidative stress and free radical damage: central roles in essentially all chronic diseases, as well as other body effects.
4. Cellular DNA attacks: These are related to cancer causation and produce the most important mutational changes in humans, as well as in future generations.
5. Apoptosis (programmed cell death): This can cause both neurodegenerative diseases and infertility.
6. Fertility Problems: This can lead to lower sex hormones, lower libido and increased levels of spontaneous abortion and attack the DNA in sperm cells.
7. Produce excessive intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i and excessive calcium signalling.
8. Cancer: 15 different mechanisms of EMF radiation’s effect on the cell can cause cancer. Brain cancer, salivary cancer, acoustic neuromas and two other types of cancer go up with cell phone use. People living near cell phone towers have increased cancer rates.
These effects can create many symptoms in our bodies, some which can be felt, and some which we might not know about.
Below are just some of the harmful symptoms of Electromagnetic Radiation exposure:
Technology plays a major role in our lives and avoiding the effects of EMF isn’t easy, as mobile devises emissions are invisible, everywhere and inescapable. The good news is there are many ways to protect yourself and children from harmful electromagnetic radiation and minimise the negative health risks by using EMF shields that block this radiation.
How to shield yourself from EMF
1. Use EMF Shields like the 5G Health Sticker on all your devices. Consider an Energysym technology pendant or wear Shungite as a pendant. We stock 5G health stickers and Energysym pendants at Freshwater chiropractic.
2. Tech Time out – Take time away from your phone, never keep your phone in your bedroom ( or use aeroplane mode), when possible keep your phone 1.5 meters away from you.
3. Turn your WIFI off at night or better still use ethernet cables to hardwire your laptops, computers and devices. Read here to reduce EMF in your home and office.
4. Eat Superfoods and plant foods- Superfoods can improve your bodies ability to protect itself. Eat more of the most nutrient filled vegetables, greens, legumes and seeds and use a green superfood powder daily. We love Bare Greens – in stock at Freshwater Chiropractic.
5. Choose your home wisely – Where possible, do not live next to a cell tower and get involved in your local council and politics so you can learn about the cell tower and 5G tower developments in your suburb.
6. Crystals – Consider purchasing Organite or Shungite, EMF resistant stones, which scatter electromagnetic fields and converts them into beneficial ones.
