Harmful Effects of EMF

The non-ionizing radiation that your cell phone or laptop makes is called RF energy. RF energy does not have enough radiation to damage the cell in the most commonly studied and widely accepted way, known as ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is when the frequency of the wavelength is so high that it carries enough energy to knock of the valance electron of an atom, causing the atom to become unstable and therefore changing the cell on a molecular level. This is how an X ray machine and the Sun can cause cancer. But just because RF energy doesn’t affect your body in the known way ionizing radiation effects it, does not mean the RF energy in your phone cannot lead to cancer.

There is a balance in your body of free radicals and antioxidants. Free radicals are what kill damage cells so that your body can generate new cells and antioxidants are what kill the free radicals after they have completed their function. For some of us, the RF energy in a cell phone is enough to trigger the creation of free radicals in your body but, as we have stated above, it is not enough energy to do any molecular level damage to your cells. Now what do the free radicals began to do if there are no damaged cells to attack? At first nothing because there are enough antioxidants to keep the free radicals in check. However, over time with more and more RF exposure, the antioxidants are no longer able to keep the free radicals in check because the free radicals have grown in number. At this point, the free radicals attach healthy cells, and this can leader to cancer.

The question now becomes, is keeping your phone in your pocket for multi hours a day for decades enough time to trigger oxidative stress in your body that can one day lead to cancer? For most of us the answer is most likely no.

But for some of us the answer could be yes. Everyone’s body is different, especially when you consider that a child, because the developing stage their body is in, they are more exposed to this type of radiation.

When will we know for sure if a cell phone can cause oxidative stress in your or a loved one’s body? Right now, unbeknownst to you or your family, you’re participating in the experiment to answer that question. The studies currently showing that RF exposure can lead to oxidative stress are based on energy that is 20x less then what 5G will be.  

This is the most widely studied harmful effect of RF (radio frequency) energy. RF energy is a class of non-ionizing radiation that a cell phone uses. We have posted research links here. But you can simply search, in your web browser, “How oxidative stress can cause cancer?”, then search “Can RF exposure cause oxidative stress?” and there is plenty of credible sources out there for you to study and decide for yourself whether it is true.

“Evidence of free-radical damage has been repeatedly documented among humans, animals, plants and microorganisms for both extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) and for radio frequency (RF) radiation, neither of which is ionizing. Free radical damage explains the increased cancer risks associated with mobile phone use ”

“EMF results in oxidative stress in many tissues of the body. Exposure to EMF is known to increase free radical concentrations and traceability and can affect the radical couple recombination.”

One studied correlation shows that keeping your cell phone in your front pocket can influence your mitochondrial levels. Mitochondrial are what break down the energy we consume and turn it into energy our body uses for certain functions. One function is the creation of sperm. Sperm need as much energy as possible to travel to the egg and sustain growth when it gets to the egg. It takes 6-12 days for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus wall. Therefore, before the fertilized egg starts to get its energy from the mother, the stored energy of the sperm and egg have to last 6-12 days. To plainly state the above, sperm need a lot of energy, and lower mitochondrial levels equals lower levels of energy received by the sperm and a lower sperm count. This brings us to how the RF energy that your cell phone uses, can cause lower levels of mitochondrial.

Our body communicates through electrical signals that then cause chemical reactions. Most people are familiar with this because this is how your brain and nervous system function. The same communication takes place in the creation of mitochondrial. Simply put, the electrical field created by your cell phone is interfering with the electrical signal that the mitochondrial are waiting to receive in order to create the energy that the sperm needs. This interference causes production at lower levels.

“Use of cell phones decrease the semen quality in men by decreasing the sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology. The decrease in sperm parameters was dependent on the duration of daily exposure to cell phones and independent of the initial semen quality”

“Radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones may lead to oxidative stress in human semen. We speculate that keeping the cell phone in a trouser pocket in talk mode may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility.”

Keep in mind this was a pilot study and this effect is in the early stages of discovering whether or not RF exposure can cause erectile dysfunction. More in-depth research is required to determine the actual biological reason for this correlation. Right now, this effect is not widely studied and therefore not fully understood. To date, most of the time & money spent determining whether or not RF exposure from cell phones is harmful has been dedicated to whether it can cause cancer in a non-ionizing way.

“We found a potential correlation with cell phone usage and a negative impact on EF. Further large–scale studies confirming our initial data and exploring the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon are recommended.”

One pilot study backing this claim was done for one year, 24/7 exposure of 2.4Ghz of RF energy on rats. This study yielded some thoughts on how this can relate to humans. Rats have a higher SAR than humans meaning rats are more susceptible to RF energy. We also are not getting 24/7 exposure. However, 5G has the potential to operate on a frequency that is 20x stronger than 2.4Ghz and we are exposed longer than one year. The question then becomes, is our lower SAR enough to block from this type of exposure? Currently, this area is not widely studied. So unfortunately, time will be the only thing that will help us answer that question. Remember, right now you and your loved ones are the test rats in this real-world experiment.

“In conclusion, we observed that long-term exposure of 2.4 GHz RF emitted from Wi-Fi (2420 μW/kg, 1 g average) affects some of the reproductive parameters of male rats. We suggest Wi-Fi users to avoid long-term exposure of RF emissions from Wi-Fi equipment.”

The key here is non-thermal. Many health organizations tied to law making governing bodies do not yet recognize the non-thermal effects of cell phones. Suffice it to say, non-ionizing radiation (RF energy) is one of these non-thermal effects not yet recognized. This is the entire problem. The thermal effects of radiation are well known and easy to understand. Humans are thermal sensitive meaning we cannot survive at high temperatures for extended periods of time, but neither can bacteria or viruses. Our bodies have naturally evolved to understand this fact. This is why you get a fever when you are sick. Your body is creating enough thermal energy to raise the temperature in your body to kill the foreign agent on the molecular and DNA levels, this is common knowledge. What is eye opening is that this study shows a correlation between non-thermal effects and cell damage on the DNA level, even though there is not enough thermal energy to effect molecules in the above traditional way. This was a pilot study showing a statistical correlation, more money and influence is needed to fully understand why there is a link between RF energy and DNA fragmentation.

Two sperate electromagnetic fields (EMF) can interfere with each other. Your body comminutes using electrical signals. An electrical reaction happens creating an electromagnetic field (EMF) in a specific frequency. On this frequency travels the information your body wants to pass along which is the electrical signal that then causes a chemical reaction in your body. This type of communication system is used all over your body and not just in our brain and nervous system. Because of this, humans give off a small amount of non-ionizing radiation that is not harmful. The EMF created by your phone, laptop, telephone poll, Wi-Fi, car, etc is interfering with the EMF created by your body. Therefore, your communication system in your body does not function properly and can cause a variety of symptoms. (see the below WEEP link for symptom list) All bodies are different, some are more affected by this phenomenon then others, while most are not affected at all. Keep in mind this is with the current 4G infrastructure, 5G will be 10x stronger at its highest operating frequency. In the research links below, you can see that an estimated figure of 3%-5% of the total population could be suffering from EHS.

Marine Richard of France is on the more sensitive side. In 2015 she won a disability payout from the government that paid her 900 USD per month for three years. Unfortunately, she had to move out to the woods to get away from all the EMF created by our everyday electrical devices. But this does prove that governments do recognize this illness.

“Although there is not yet a substantial scientific assessment (under controlled conditions, if that is even possible); anecdotal reports from many countries show that estimates range from 3% to perhaps
5% of populations, and it is a growing problem.”
