The human brain has an electric field so if you put sources of EMFs nearby, it is not surprising that you get interference, interaction with systems and damage to cells and molecules." - Olle Johansson, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden
Human use of electromagnetism for power and communications has produced an abnormal electromagnetic environment unlike anything that existed before. Electromagnetic radiation is linked to cancer, leukemia, headaches, fatigue, cataracts, miscarriages and birth defects. The US EPA recommends "prudent avoidance."
Scientists estimate that YOUR daily exposure to EMF radiation is 100 Million Times higher than it was in your Grandparents' time.
Some experts have even gone on to say that it is now a BILLION times higher, especially with the widespread use of cellular phones. With the explosion in radio and TV broadcasting stations, radio telephone networks, cordless phones and cell phones, the density of radio waves and microwaves around you is now many millions of times higher than natural levels.
The same applies to Extreme Low Frequency (ELF) fields produced by the dozens of electrical appliances in households in the industrialized world and the power lines feeding those devices. Industrialized countries in North America, Western Europe and China emit so much ELF energy that it can be sensed by satellites in space.
Exponential growth in background EMF radiation.
Research shows that these fields have a significant disruptive effect on the natural energy levels of your body. They magnify your body's "flight or fight" responses, compounding your adrenal loads from other stressors and significantly reducing your ability to cope effectively. The unhealthy levels of EMF pollution to which we are now exposed every day, have been proven to:
* disrupt your natural energy levels trigger stress responses impair your body's natural ability to heal.
* adds stress to your already taxed system – compound stress.
* contribute to your energy depletion and fatigue. And the long-term effects are even worse...
Dr. Neil Cherry, a biophysicist and an elected official in New Zealand, said that studies indicate that non-ionizing radiation causes everything from cancer in lab rats to neurological changes in humans. Dr. Cherry stated that human beings are very good conductors of microwave transmitted signals.
Living organisms are themselves electromagnetic instruments of great sensitivity that can support a variety of electrical vibrations; these can be interfered with by external radiation - both at microwave and very much lower (ELF) frequencies - in a number of ways, from which adverse health effects can follow. In fact, numerous studies from leading scientists have linked long-term EMF exposure to increased risks to some of the major ailments today.
In August of 2001, the International Agency for Research on Cancer unanimously concluded that magnetic fields are carcinogens in the same class as DDT and lead. Scientists from the US, UK and 8 other countries "all agreed," said Dr. Larry Anderson. Magnetic fields were also linked in June of 2001 to a six fold increase in miscarriages, by the Kaiser Permanente's research division.
The reasons for acquiring a radiation detecting survey meter, Geiger counter and/or dosimeter are as varied as are peoples concerns for the future and the safety of their families in this ever changing world. Radiation threats are unique in that you can't see, smell, taste, hear or feel them, until it's already done its damage and you are suffering the effects. Without a radiation detector you would have to depend solely on the limited resources of the authorities to monitor your location, then determine your risk level, decide the best protective action and then to 'get the word out'.
