Good & Bad EMFs
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are present everywhere in our environment, but are low in intensity and invisible to the human eye. Natural magnetic fields are created by electric fields, which are produced by the local buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere and are usually associated with thunderstorms. We are also surrounded with man-made EMFs from power lines, computer terminals, microwaves, TVs, cell phones, hair dryers, electric blankets, and a host of other electronic devices. Evidence shows these man-made EMFs contribute to a subtle assault on our energy balance and overall health. This new form of pollution, “Electrosmog,” has become a real threat since most of us are unaware of its negative effects and fail to protect ourselves against it.
Cell Phone Research
Radio Frequency EMFs (RF EMFs) are considered microwave fields. These fields contribute energy to the body, as well as cause currents within the body, including in the brain. The strength of the microwaves determines whether or not they will “cook” tissue. The most significant measure in terms of the biological effects of RF EMFs is [...]

Humans and animals exposed to AC irradiation (such as that from electrical appliances) for long periods of time, and especially to strong fields, can sometimes develop unexpected reactions. The issue of cancer being produced by these kinds of field exposures remains unsettled. With the exception of therapeutic applications, most of these field exposures should be [...]

One of the major organizations established to set standards of safety for all EMFs, including static magnetic fields and ELFs is the ICNIRP. ICNIRP is the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. It is a body of independent scientific experts consisting of a main Commission of 14 members, 4 Scientific Standing Committees covering Epidemiology, Biology, [...]

How do we distinguish between good and bad Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)? Researchers once thought EMFs, especially very low frequency and extremely low frequency EMFs, were safe because they were of such low strength as compared to other forms of radiation, such as those from a nuclear reactor or X-ray. However, as technology increases and people [...]
