The Freedom to Live 5 things Friday
Every Friday, 5 things of value from the integrative health sciences.
The best of the best functional medicine, educational resources, research, quotes, books, tips, advice etc. all from the key pillars of the integrative health system.
1. What are EMFs and WHY should we be concerned?
Electric and magnetic fields (often referred to as EMFs) are an essential and natural part of the physical world. Some occur naturally in nature and some are man-made.
Electric and magnetic fields occur naturally within the body in association with nerve and muscle activity. We also experience the natural magnetic field of the Earth (to which a magnetic compass responds) and natural electric fields in the atmosphere.
The human body has a charge and our body's frequency needs to be in harmony with our environment.
Electric fields are produced by voltage A/C electric outlets
Magnetic fields are produced by current (battery operated)
EMFs are not the same thing as radiation
Not all EMFs are bad
There are two basic forms of radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing:
1.Ionizing Radiation: radioactive substances in rocks and soil, cosmic rays of the sun, and radiation from man-made technology such as x-rays machines, power stations, and nuclear reactors.
2.Non-ionizing Radiation: visible light, ultraviolet and infrared waves, waves from radio or television, cellular phones, microwaves, and electric blankets.
But whether you get radiation depends basically on the frequency. At high frequencies – radio waves, TV, microwaves etc – the fields are coupled together and you get radiation.
The World Health Organization has declared that cell phone radiation may be linked to brain cancer.
Several Studies connect cell phone radiation to diminished sperm count and sperm damage.
Other studies raise health concerns such as:
altered brain metabolism,
sleep disturbance,
and behavioural changes in children.
2. Microwaves and Ear Buds (The WORST! Just REMOVE)
Microwaves cause water molecules in food to vibrate, producing heat that cooks the food. That's why foods that are high in water content, like fresh vegetables, can be cooked more quickly than other foods.
Most of the human body is water, with an average of roughly 60%
Heating food in the microwave kills nutrients resulting in dead food.
Cooking B12 foods (meat, milk, breast milk) destroys the B12 vitamin as well as the bacteria fighting agents found in breast milk as published in the scientific and medical literature.
Plastic containers used to heat microwave meals (TV dinners) have been found to release carcinogens along with other harmful toxins into your food which is then absorbed by your body.
The non-ionizing radiation of the microwave can affect changes in your blood and your heart rate.
A study conducted by Dr. Magda Havas of Trent University found the levels of radiation emitted by a microwave affect both heart rate and heart rate variability.
Is This Common Kitchen Appliance Harming Your Health? by Dr. Mercola
Your microwave oven will NOT help you prepare healthy food--and will threaten your health by ripping the molecules in your food apart, rendering some nutrients inert and others carcinogenic.
Dangers of EMF Exposure to the Head: WHY ear buds are not a good idea.
Biological Damage
ADHD
Headaches & Depression
Tinnitus
Dr. Martin Pall of Washington State University published an article in the Journal of Neuroanatomy (Pall 2016) to help summarize current research to-date on EMF radiation and its neuropsychiatric effects, including those linked to depression and headaches.
EMFs were shown to activate VGCC (voltage-gated calcium ion channels) in the brain and these channels are responsible for neural communication.
Animal studies showed that low level exposure had a wide range of impact.
Genetic studies indicated VCGG cause widespread neuropsychiatric effects.
Apple AirPods are constantly transmitting.
They never take a break.
The only way to turn them off is to put them back in their box and shut the lid.
The levels are up to 3500mV/m – 10 times the level of a mobile phone call at under 300mV/m (millivolts per metre).
3. Remove: Opt out of your home Smart Meter
Typically, smart meters are installed on the side of your home, replacing the manual analog style meter.
Smart meters emit a large amount of radio frequency radiation every few seconds in all directions. So, if the smart meter is installed on the wall opposite a bedroom, there is likely to be a high amount of EMF radiation penetrating into that room.
Check out TAKE BACK YOUR POWER !
This award-winning documentary Take Back Your Power uncovers the shocking story behind why hundreds of local governments are standing against the multi-billion dollar rollout of 'smart' utility meters program.
4. 4000 hours LESS/year of wifi router radiation if you unplug for 12 hours/day
Turning off WiFi at night (setting up an inexpensive manual timer) is an easy step to reduce your exposure to EMFs while you sleep.
Avoid sleeping with your phone by your head or in your room.
Shut Off/Use Air Plane mode at night.
5 easy low-cost steps to remove EMFs and harmonize your environment
1. Remove
Microwave
Ear buds
Home utility SMART METERS
Smart devices
LED Light bulbs
2. Turn OFF (unplug)
Wifi at night
Utilize Air Plane Mode at night
Bluetooth
Hard wire your computer back to ethernet cables
Take remote unplugging vacations
3. Block & Shield
Laptop and Cellphones (Defender Shield, Smart Sleeve)
Faraday fabric blocks EMFs. There are EMF blocking clothing and bed canopies available
EMF shielding paint
BlueLight Blocking glasses
4. Harmonize the Environment
Grounding: walk barefoot outside, lay on the ground, spend moments in nature.
House Plants help absorb toxins and naturally filter the air.
Salt lamps help absorb toxins and naturally filter the air.
Shungite, is a carbon-rich stone known to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and EMF exposure.
Increase natural lighting. Replace LED with Incandescent or Halogen options to reduce the impacts on retina damage and Melatonin production.
Feng shui, an ancient Chinese practice of creating balance with the natural world in our interior spaces.
Hygge, similar to Feng Shui, a Danish and Norwegian word to create an environment/mood of coziness, wellness, and contentment.

Now that I know Better, I must do Better.
