The two categories of radiation we are considering today are ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, and how they relate to electromagnetic fields a high-tech world. HOW "SAFE" LEVELS OF EMF EXPOSURE CAN AFFECT YOUR HEALTH While non-ionizing EMF exposure in small doses is generally considered harmless, continuous exposure to EMF has been linked to several adverse side effects and illnesses. The International Agency of Research on Cancer (IARC) has identified many forms of EMF as "possibly carcinogenic" due to the link between heavy cellphone use and an increased incidence of malignant brain cancer. Additional studies from the National Toxicology Program in 2018 further identified 2G and 3G cellphone radiation as a class I carcinogen after strong links were observed in animal studies. Furthermore, a review of many studies performed over the years showed a wide range of serious side effects associated with continuous EMF exposure, including: • Sleep trouble and insomnia • Impaired nerve function • Low libido and reduced sperm count • Miscarriages • Brain, bone, and lymphatic cancers • Asthma • Headaches • Inability to concentrate • Depression • Changes in brain activity • Fatigue • Anxiety • Changes in appetite and weight loss • Brain fog • Nausea and digestive disturbances • Irritability • Increased free-radical activity and risk of oxidative stress Studies performed on large numbers of human subjects have identified a higher incidence of these symptoms in men and women who are continuously exposed to EMF in their homes, at work, and on their persons. While the exact causal methods that create these effects are not fully known, there is no question that they do occur. Now, if these symptoms and carcinogenic properties were associated with 2G and 3G cellphone technology, what about 4G and 5G? Each generation of cellphone transmission technology comes with stronger, more powerful, and more harmful level of radiation – bringing on worse symptoms and an increased potential health risk. For more information on 5G, there is an excellent podcast with Ben Greenfield and Dr. Joseph Mercola that covers this subject in detail. HOW TO REDUCE EMF EXPOSURE: RISKS AND EFFECTS In today's world, it is impossible to avoid EMFs entirely. As a civilization, we are becoming more and more reliant upon technology. But we can be smart about how we live and limit our exposure within reason, as well as maintain our health with nutrition that has been shown to counteract many of the adverse effects of EMFs. Here are some real-world, helpful tips you can apply in your own home and life: TIPS FOR REDUCING EXPOSURE: • Use a hands-free set (a wired set is best) when on your cellphone instead of having it up against your head – this greatly reduces the direct radiation into your head. While this was important a decade ago, it is even more important with today's technology. If you must use Bluetooth, it's best to find an option with the transmitter that is as far from your head as possible. There are many versions that hang around your neck and have wired earbuds attached. • Turn off your cellphone (or at least put it in airplane mode) before you go to sleep. • Schedule your WiFi router to turn off at a certain time of night to limit your exposure as you rest or buy a power outlet remote switch, so you can turn off and on at your leisure. • Avoid wireless connections wherever possible. Hard-wired connections are safer. For example, it's best to hardwire your TV, desktop computers, and other devices that are used in only one place in the home or office. • Turn off your Smart TV and any other wirelessly connected devices when not in use. • Stop using any electronic devices at least an hour before going to sleep. This can help improve your body's natural circadian rhythm and improve quality of sleep. By Dr. David Minkoff AND YOUR HEALTH So, is EMF exposure really a big deal? The bottom line is that you should take steps to limit your EMF exposure and actions that will proof your body against environmental damage – whether from EMF, the toxins in the air, or any other source. Remember, this is not science fiction – the risks are real, and it is well worth doing all you can to maintain an optimum level of health and enjoy a happy, full life!
