Willow Tohi via Natural News – For over 50 years, the U.S. government has known about the potential health risks of wireless radiation, yet regulatory agencies have consistently failed to act, leaving the public exposed to chronic conditions ranging from autism to diabetes. A new report, released on February 6 by researchers Richard Lear and Camilla Rees, reveals how a 1971 U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute study identified 132 biological effects and 23 chronic diseases linked to electromagnetic radiation (EMR)—findings that were ignored as wireless technology proliferated. The report, shared at the American Academy of Environmental Medicine’s annual conference in San Antonio, Texas, on February 14, highlights the staggering growth of these diseases and calls for urgent regulatory action. Key Points • A 1971 U.S. Navy study reviewed 2,311 scientific studies and identified 132 biological effects and 23 chronic diseases linked to wireless radiation. • Despite these findings, U.S. regulators, including the FCC, have failed to update exposure limits since 1996, leaving the public vulnerable. • Between 1990 and 2015, 23 chronic diseases predicted by the Navy study surged, with cases reaching 549 million and adding an estimated $2 trillion in annual healthcare costs. • The report calls for immediate action to minimize wireless exposure and restore local control over cell tower placements. The Navy’s 1971 warning: a missed opportunity In 1971, the U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute conducted a comprehensive review of 2,311 scientific studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The study focused on low-intensity EMR signals in the 1 to 4 gigahertz (GHz) range—frequencies strikingly similar to those emitted by modern devices like cell phones, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The Navy’s findings were unequivocal: wireless radiation exposure was linked to 132 biological effects and 23 chronic diseases, including ADHD, autism, diabetes, and leukemia. “These types of wireless exposures are virtually identical with those from modern devices and wireless sources such as cell phones, WiFi, Bluetooth, smart meters, GPS, wearables, and wireless infrastructure,” Lear and Rees wrote in their report. Despite this groundbreaking research, the U.S. government failed to act. Regulatory agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ignored the warnings, allowing the wireless industry to expand unchecked. The explosion of chronic disease Between 1990 and 2015, the U.S. witnessed an alarming rise in chronic diseases, many of which were predicted by the Navy’s 1971 study. Autism cases skyrocketed by 2,094%, while chronic fatigue syndrome saw an 11,027% increase. Other conditions, such as ADHD (139%), anxiety (104%), and diabetes (305%), also surged. By 2015, these 23 diseases accounted for 549 million cases, placing an immense burden on the healthcare system and economy. “Of the 36 chronic diseases and conditions that more than doubled (1990-2015), the U.S. Navy study warned us of the connection between wireless radiation and twenty-three of those chronic diseases, predicting what has indeed happened to the health of Americans,” Lear and Rees wrote. The economic impact is staggering. By 2015, these 23 diseases may have added more than $2 trillion in annual healthcare costs to the U.S. economy. The authors acknowledged that other factors, such as sugar consumption and pesticide exposure, likely contributed to the crisis. However, they emphasized that wireless radiation’s role cannot be ignored. The smoking gun: peroxynitrite and chronic disease The report delves into the biological mechanisms behind wireless radiation’s harmful effects, pointing to peroxynitrite—a molecule common to all chronic diseases—as a potential “smoking gun.” Wireless radiation triggers oxidative and nitrative stress, leading to the production of peroxynitrite and other free radicals. These agents disrupt biological homeostasis and create a lethal system of seven synergistic biofactors, dubbed “P-Factor,” which includes systemic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. P-Factor is shared by all 36 of the fastest-growing diseases in the U.S. “P-Factor is shared by all 36 of the fastest-growing diseases in the U.S.,” the authors wrote. “Is P-Factor the smoking gun for the current U.S. chronic disease health crisis?” Lear and Rees are calling for immediate action to address the public health crisis caused by wireless radiation. They plan to send hard copies of their report to all U.S. Congress members and 1,000 business leaders, urging them to take responsibility for minimizing wireless exposure.

6 PRACTICAL Ways to Reduce Your Exposure to EMF Pollution

AHA Publisher — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 07:00:16 +0000

Lori Alton via NaturalHealth365 – Is your home environment making you sick? Cordless phones, computers, printers, fax machines, plus many other electrical devices may very well be slowly killing you. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, about 99 percent of U.S. households own a television, with the average home having three TVs and about 24 consumer electronic devices overall. This trend toward increased consumption of consumer electronics is expected to continue along with serious health consequences. Why Should You Care About EMF Pollution? Because this growing demand for more and more electronics is giving rise to a growing cloud of pollutants or “electronic smog” – floating around your home’s environment. Known as an electromagnetic field, or EMF, this indoor smog results from the large number of harmful positive ions emitted by the average household’s slew of electronics. Andrew Well, MD, has called electromagnetic pollution the most significant pollution human activity has produced this century, made all the more dangerous because it is an invisible toxin. Conscious Scientists Have a Serious Warning for Humanity Barry Trower, a former Royal Navy microwave weapons expert, said this about WiFi radiation: “We are risking the future generations of all the children in the world.” Swedish neuroscientist Ollie Johanssen, PhD has estimated, based on his research, that a full 50 percent of the world’s population will experience some symptoms of “electro hyper” symptoms by 2017. Samuel Milham, MD, MPH, a medical epidemiologist, said: “Very recently, new research is suggesting that nearly all the human plagues which emerged in the twentieth century, like common acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children, female breast cancer, malignant melanoma, and asthma, can be tied to some facet of our use of electricity. There is an urgent need for governments and individuals to take steps to minimize community and personal EMF exposures.” Every television, laptop computer, “smart” (utility) meter, or any use of wireless technology will expose your body to as much as 20 times higher frequency patterns than it would normally be used to. The problem is compounded by the added hazards of dust, bacteria, and other impurities floating around the average home’s air. The result? An unhealthy home environment robbing you of the safe, secure haven your home should be. How Is EMF Pollution Affecting My Health? As indoor air quality diminishes, your family’s emotional and physical health is impacted. Symptoms like insomnia, nervousness, and difficulty concentrating are all warning signs that positive ions exist in unhealthy concentrations in your living environment. Continued exposure to EMF smog can cause an accumulation of additional free radicals in the human body, increasing the risk of developing cancer. But there are steps you can take to protect your health and the health of your family, improving the air quality of your home and ridding it of EMF smog and other pollutants. Try These 6 Practical Ways to Reduce Your Exposure to EMF 1. Eliminate unwanted electronic devices One of the most obvious ways to lower the amount of EMF smog found in your home environment is to do an assessment of the number of electronic devices in your home and consider whether they are absolutely necessary. Improving your home’s air quality and reducing the threats to your family’s health could mean making a few lifestyle changes. The payoff, however, can be worth it. 2. Make use of Himalayan salt lamps High-quality Himalayan salt lamps are made from pure, natural Himalayan salt. As they warm, these lamps serve as natural room ionizers, emitting negative ions into the surrounding environment that effectively bind with all the excess positive ions, reducing EMFs, killing bacteria, and purifying the air. Be sure to purchase your lamp from a reputable company. 3. Distance yourself from the dangers of microwave radiation If you have a cordless phone – throw it away. Many studies suggest that cordless phones are more dangerous to use than cell phones. Use a corded phone instead – it’s much safer. When using a laptop or iPad – don’t place it on your lap. Long-term exposure to EMF pollution has been associated with reproductive and neurological disorders. And, by all means, don’t carry a cell phone against the body or place it on your head. 4. Utilize shielding The important thing to remember before investing in shielding is that you want to ensure the shielding material is less harmful to you and your family than the EMF exposure. In most instances, this will be the case, but be sure you understand the potential hazards of a particular shield before installing it. Performing an EMF survey first can help you determine where to invest in shielding. And, of course, proper testing before (and after) installing shielding material and devices will ensure a successful outcome. 5. Reduce static electricity There are already plenty of reasons to buy clothing and household linens made of natural fibers, like organic cotton and wool, rather than man-made synthetics, but you can add reducing exposure to static electricity to the list. Static electricity can be particularly harmful to people who are already EMF-sensitive. Remember to change out all bedding for natural fiber fabrics as well. 6. Turn off unused circuits Even when electronics are unplugged, electrical wiring can act like a broadcasting antenna for the power grid. By installing demand switches, you effectively turn these circuits off when they are not drawing power, giving your body a break. When demand switches cannot be installed, consider turning unused circuits off, particularly at night when much less electricity is needed. As a final note, to reduce the negative effects of EMF exposure, connect yourself to the Earth. What does that mean?

NEW STUDY Shows This Extract Reduces the Harmful Effects of EMF Radiation

Edit Lang via NaturalHealth365 – Although the wireless industry claims that exposure to wireless radiation is “safe,” numerous studies have shown that EMF radiation is harmful to the human body. Each day, we are exposed to more wireless, cellular, microwave, and electric fields than ever before in history. No matter how hard we try, it is impossible to completely avoid EMF exposure and still participate in our modern society. Thankfully, new research reveals an easy way to help protect ourselves against the damaging effects of EMF radiation. Is 5G a breakthrough innovation or a threat to human health? The use of radiofrequency (RF) EMF is on the rise, despite the overwhelming evidence revealing its potential to harm humans. One of the most alarming ways RF-EMF damages the body is by increasing oxidative stress. Free radical damage and oxidative stress are involved in cancer onset and numerous chronic diseases. Even though EMF safety is highly controversial, plenty of evidence exists to justify the WHO IARC’s decision to classify RF-EMF as a “possible human carcinogen.” Many are concerned with the potential danger that 5G has in store for humankind. Governments around the world are aggressively rolling out their 5G infrastructure. The technology uses submillimeter and millimeter waves and relies on EHF (extremely high frequency) ranges between 6 GHz and 100 GHz – and beyond. Although the physiological effects of 5G systems are unknown, preliminary observations showed that millimeter waves trigger a host of processes that can be devastating to our bodies. Hundreds of members of the international scientific community have been urging regulators to conduct further studies to explore how millimeter waves affect human health. WARNING: EMF harms your health in many ways A substantial body of evidence confirms that EMF exposures inflict widespread damage on the human body. EMFs attack our nervous and endocrine systems and produce oxidative stress. The radiation can alter our cells’ DNA, elevate programmed cell death, lower fertility, and even cause cancer. The risks are real, yet, most users are unaware of the potential harm. EMFs have also been linked to life-threatening cardiac effects, early-onset dementia, and even Alzheimer’s. Pregnant women and children are at particularly high risk. Evidence shows that EMF exposure before and shortly after birth can lead to ADHD and autism. “FCC-compliant” radiation levels do not equal “safe” Tragically enough, the over 2,000 peer-reviewed studies documenting the biological and health effects inflicted on humans by non-ionizing radiation were not enough to warrant the adoption of federal safety standards. Hundreds of recent studies demonstrate adverse health effects from headaches to many types of cancer, including brain cancer caused by levels far lower than those considered acceptable by the FCC. Nonetheless, governing bodies conducted no long-term studies to ensure public safety. Instead, the US government issued “guidelines” developed by the industry, using outdated research. Rosemary extract protects against the harmful effects of EMF Although the repercussions of long-term EMF exposure can be severe, the good news is, you can help buffer your body against its damaging effects. A popular culinary herb may allow your cells to recover from overexposure and remove some of the radiation from your body. Rosemary is a common herb that is well-known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In a 2020 study, scientists tested the antioxidant property of rosemary extract by exposing rats to electromagnetic fields. Results showed that rosemary extract reduced EMFs’ destructive effect, confirming its potential preventative benefits. In a 2016 study, a group of researchers came to similar conclusions after exposing rats to mobile phone EMFs. In rats not treated with rosemary, EMF exposure induced structural changes in connective tissues, and increased oxidative stress. Rats treated with rosemary extract faired much better and experienced a boost in antioxidant activity. How to use rosemary for EMF protection You can take rosemary extract in a tincture or capsules. However, drinking a cup of rosemary tea daily may be the easiest way to benefit from the herb’s protective compounds. Boil 1-2 cups of water. Add 1-2 inches of finely chopped rosemary leaves to your cup. Pour hot water over the leaves. Allow to steep for 10 minutes, strain, and enjoy!
