Around 3% - 7% of the population are EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome ) to some degree and up to 35% may show some mild indications of electro-stress.
What can I do about EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) sensitivity?
You can take action at two levels:
1. Reduce your exposure to EMF
? Reduce time on around technology that emit EMF’s ie computers & mobile phones
? Wear natural fibres
? Aim for natural flooring
? Walking barefoot on the earth (this is called earthing)
? Drink plenty of pure water (sub-clinical dehydration seems to be more of a problem for EHS people)
2. Minimise the effects of EMF’s on you There are products available which may shield you or protect you from EMF’s. The very subtle effects of such products are immeasurable by scientific equipment at this time. I suggest you obtain a money back guarantee, in case what you’ve bought does not work for you.
The solutions I recommend are:
? Go outside in nature often - the beach, the bush, anywhere that is natural.
? Wear something that attracts negative ions e.g. a Titan Ion Energiser band
? Breathe negatively charged air. Diffusing Therapeutic Grade Essential oils will increase negative ions (and oxygen levels) in the air.
What exactly are EMF’s (electromagnetic fields)? Electromagnetic fields are areas of energy that surround electronic devices. When an appliance is plugged in, but not switched on, it has an electric field. Once it is on, there is a magnetic field. The magnetic field is considered to have a greater effect on us than the electric field.
Is our exposure to electromagnetic fields really a problem? When electromagnetic currents are strong enough, they can cause stimulation of nerves and muscles or affect other biological processes, says the WHO (World Health Organisation).
The WHO acknowledges that human health studies are good at identifying large effects such as the connection between smoking and cancer and say that the effect of EMF’s “could be undetectable with our method of measurement”. Remember it took literally decades for the link between cancer and smoking to be acknowledged officially.
What are known effects of electromagnetic fields? This is what we already know:
? Using a mobile phone for more than 10 years doubles the incidence of certain types of brain tumours, on the side of your head most frequently in contact with the phone. There is an increase in the incidence of brain tumours as reported by the Central Brain Tumour Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) for people 0 -19 years old. Overall brain tumour incidence has increased by 36% in the last decade and is not explained by an aging population.
? EMF’s are also definitely linked to childhood leukaemia. There is now significant research linking EMF to adult leukaemia, clinical depression and miscarriage.
? Low frequency electromagnetic fields can suppress the body’s immune system function
When I reduce EMF’s what can happen? Research shows that EMF’s increase the number of positive ions per cubic metre. An excess of positive ions produces detrimental effects both physically (headaches, dizziness, fatigue, circulatory disorders etc.) and mentally (irritation, apathy, anxiety, depression etc). Negative ions are beneficial, and can improve alertness, concentration and overall body function. More than 5000 studies support this. If you increase the negative ions you are likely to offset the impact of EMF’s and experience:
? increased alertness and concentration
? more energy
? reduction in severity of asthma attacks
? depression and tension
? normalisation of hormone imbalances
? relief from allergies and hay fever
? improved sleep and relaxation
? enhanced immune system
