Inundated By EMFs!

by Mila McManus, MD

There is growing scientific evidence that the constant inundation of our environment with electromagnetic fields [EMFs] is having a negative impact on human health; however, the extent of this impact remains uncertain. Our bodies and brains are flooded every day with Electrosmog from multiple sources, including:

• The Global Systems for Mobile Communications [ a.k.a. GSM], including 5G, 4G, and 3G, are delivered through our smartphones.
• Wi-Fi Routers
• Bluetooth devices
• Digitally enhanced cordless telecommunications [a.k.a. DECT] such as fax machines, email, door entry systems, headsets, and remote controls. DECT ultra-low-frequency signals are used to operate home energy systems, appliances, smart sensors, and baby monitors.

In one compelling study* conducted in 2018, before the advent of 5G, researchers studied 64 patients with various autoimmune conditions, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and celiac disease. The patients wore a silver-threaded cap designed to protect the brain and brain stem from microwave Electrosmog. The results for these individuals with compromised immune systems were astounding. 90% reported “definite” and “strong” favorable changes in their disease symptoms, suggesting that Electrosmog may be affecting our immune system.

In our practice, we increasingly recognize individuals who experience electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and we believe addressing the inundation of EMFs is now a matter of responsible patient care in this era of Electrosmog.  Additionally, it is difficult to overlook the likelihood that electromagnetic fields are in some way responsible for exploding rates of cancer, infertility, autoimmune diseases, brain tumors, ADD/ADHD, and chronic fatigue, just to name a few. We are seeing more issues in very young children for the first time in history, and we are highly discouraging screen time.  

EMFs, Electrosmog – call it what you want. We can’t ignore it, we are inundated by it, and yet, we are unlikely to see it disappear, especially given all the conveniences it also brings.  It is a blessing and a curse!  Our best recommendation is to control what you can. Explore all the options and take as many steps as possible to improve and reduce your exposure. It is especially important during sleep when our body repairs and resets. The brains of babies and toddlers are especially prone to harms from EMFs. Here are two articles we have previously written about how you can protect yourself.

• Can You Avoid This Invisible Danger – EMF 1
• EMF Protection – Part 2

In the meantime, if you’re interested in one of our silver-threaded caps that protect your head and brain stem from EMF, we have them available at TWIHW.  Ask for our Anti-Radiation EMF Shielding Beanie, also called a Faraday cap. You can purchase here. They are 53% cotton, 42% silver fiber lining, and 5% polyester.  They are fashionable enough to wear wherever you go, and especially supportive of good brain health while you work, play, and sleep.  Studies on EMF protection have reported benefits such as enhanced sleep quality and hormone regulation, improved immune system function, reduced oxidative stress, and a slower rate of aging [a great longevity hack!].  We also have other products available that provide EMF protection.

Shield yourself and your family. Be Well.
