Who Is Affected By EMFs?
By Sherri Lund | March 8, 2008
Though some people seem more sensitive than others, studies show all living things are affected by these electrical emissions.
We are especially concerned about these groups:
-Children
-Pregnant women
-People with chronic illness
While this isn’t the place to go into depth on each of these groups, I will briefly touch on some major issues involving them.
On Children
Om Gandhi, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Utah University, is only one researcher publishing articles that show the effects of electrical pollution in children. According to his study, children’s brains absorb 50% more radiation from cell phone than adults.
Other studies show that after 2 minutes of talking on a cell phone, children’s brain tissue is still heated above normal for up to two hours!
Studies were done during the 90’s on the effects of 400 minutes per month — that’s less than 15 minutes of cell phone talk a day. The findings were alarming. And considering the number of minutes most cell phone users talk today, these researchers are very concerned.
Cell phone use is only one source, but because of the proximity to the brain and the fact that younger and younger children are getting them, it is something that needs to be addressed.
On Pregnant Women
An unborn baby’s developing brain and nervous system could be especially vulnerable to electromagnetic frequencies. Some pregnant moms carry their phones near their abdomen — either in their pants pocket or on their belt. This is concerning because of its proximity to the belly and because there is only soft tissue and water separating it from the developing baby.
Other pregnant women may be exposed to high levels of EMFs when they sit at a computer for several hours a day, or they are involved with other machinery found in some office and medical settings.
At least one airline carrier doesn’t allow their flight attendants to fly during their third trimester of their pregnancy, and that’s a start. I’m glad some corporations are showing this kind of concern.
On People with Chronic Illness
As mentioned before, some people with chronic illness have seen symptoms diminish and show more response to a nutritional program when EMFs are cleared from their homes and offices. It appears that, when the body doesn’t have to deal with the stress of these toxins, it has more energy available to heal.
I mentioned the importance of cell phones, computers and other office machinery. Sometimes, people with these chronic conditions spend a lot of time at home convalescing. Here’s where we need to look at sources of EMFs like televisions, clock radios, cordless phones and other electrical devices that may be polluting their environment.
Not everyone will believe EMF toxins are real. But like the canary in the underground mines that warns miners of a dangerous situation, some people are affected by things that others cannot sense.
The solutions are simple to carry out, and they last a long, long time.
