Radiation

We'll use the term "electromagnetic fields" or "EMF's" to refer to a broad scale of wavelengths. With progressively shorter wavelengths are the electricity that runs through wires in your walls, AM and FM radio waves, cell phone microwaves, infrared lasers, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. All these travel at the speed of light, but a research facility in Switzerland may soon break our present measuring device limits and "discover" interdimensional frequencies that are off our present scale.

So which are harmful?

"Ionizing" radiation like X-rays, known with their short wavelengths for causing DNA mutations or cancer, is often thought of as the most harmful, because it can restructure molecules by knocking electrons off their nuclear orbits. But the full spectrum is the stuff of creation, and all wavelengths can be in balance and healthy for our bodies, or harmful.

The EMF spectrum is a delicately-tuned balance of frequencies, and problems arise when parts are isolated from the whole. When we strip a grain like rice of the nutrients and enzymes naturally present that are needed to digest it, we end up with unhealthy food. Likewise, even a radioactive gas like radon in a natural granite cave will not be nearly as harmful as radon coming through cracks in a basement made of cement that was mixed without an intention of balance. And the ionizing ultraviolet rays in full-spectrum sunlight are less harmful than those artificially isolated in unshielded fluorescent lights and coming off computer screens. After all, even the mutation spurred by radioactivity can be evolutionary when supported by a balanced environment.

Some human-electronics-generated EMF's have sharp sawtooth or square shaped wavelengths unlike any found in the wild. Our bodies don't know how to respond to them.

Different kinds of cells resonate with different frequency wavelengths, and are greatly affected by them in their biochemical functioning. In fact, many experts have long believed that electronic treatments for disease are much more specific and effective than drugs, without the side effects. Radio transmissions can broadcast disease-causing frequencies to a population. Your local cell phone tower may be radiating a wavelength that happens inadvertently to promote a certain type of organ malfunction. And your body, comprised mainly of water, makes a great antenna.

Sensitive Communication

Your central nervous system pulses are a few millionths of a volt. Common sense would dictate that your body's sensitive operating system would be clobbered when you turn on a 110 volt hairdryer and hold it near your head. It's like blowing a train whistle in the ear of a nervous system designed for faint whispers.

Furthermore, the body expects communication signals to mean something to which it can respond, be they electromagnetic voices from its own cells, from other species, weather fronts, earth movements, planets, or the sun. Your hairdryer is being rude, oblivious to the havoc it's wreaking. It's not dancing with its environment. Its ears are closed to feedback. Compare the hairdryer to the moth whose signals to potential mates can be picked up a mile away. The vibration of its wings modulates its radiating infra-red body heat in communication. Your own body can probably sense the magnetic fields of the hairdryer a couple hundred yards away. Can the hairdryer sense your presence, short of it's on/off switch?

Like these moths, humans used to pick up on a range of signals from each other in meeting, beyond what was spoken verbally and in body language. Most people can hardly remember how rich social gatherings once were, before our sensitive interpersonal signal-receptors were jammed by the fields our electronics put out. Someone answering their cell phone or typing into it while you're trying to talk with them is bad enough. But relating to someone whose cell phone is blasting you with microwaves as it scans for calls even while resting on their belt is, on a subtle level, like connecting with someone wearing a loud stereo. The person may seem to indicate that they want to be closer, but their spraying you with impersonal EMF's gives the opposite message.

Scientists are now able to photograph and measure the streams of photons—the tiny particles of light—that pass between all biological organisms in communication. They have found that healers and psychics, who are skilled at transmitting these currents, perform poorly in electrical fields.

Much research has been done on "bonding" between mother and infant. Now there are children who have rarely been outside of wi fi, from conception. Their mother's energy field has always been infiltrated by tech emanations, depriving these children of the luscious experience of full, natural auric embrace.

Health Effects

The long wavelengths transmitted through the electrical wiring in our buildings produce both electric and magnetic fields. These fields noticeably fall off with distance as you step back from the source, such as away from a fridge. Shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation, like microwaves, also weaken with distance, but the distances can be tremendous. They fan out from a broadcast tower like spokes from a wheel hub. You may have trouble picking up a signal because as they fan out you're receiving fewer of them farther from the transmitter. In a city full of broadcast towers and antennae, including portable ones like cell phones, even if your receiving equipment can't pick up all the transmissions clearly, you're being penetrated by whatever radiates in your direction that isn't blocked, however diffuse. It can come from all directions—from satellites above, your neighbor's wi fi in the condo below, the TV next door, and passing cars' cell phones. These frequencies go through trees, bodies, and most building materials.

The magnetic and electric fields emanating from our wiring and appliances contribute to the following maladies, among many others:

Cancer, which occurs when normal cell division is disrupted and runs amok. Some scientists believe the original damage is usually caused by chemicals or ionizing radiation like X-rays, and then a magnetic field provides a nurturing environment for cancer cells to proliferate. A 1990 first version of an Environmental Protection Agency report designated EMFs in the same class as cigarettes, as a class B1 carcinogen.

Miscarriages, birth defects, and childhood leukemia. Fetuses and children are both growing quickly, with lots of cell division that can sustain damage.

Depression.

Chronic Fatigue (very common in Silicon Valley).

The health effects from the proliferation of shorter wavelength radiation are even more troubling. Pediatrician John Kerner and his colleagues at Stanford University have described microwave cooking in an oven. "Atoms, molecules, and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse polarity 1 to 100 billion times per second. There are no atoms, molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent, destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy range of milliwatts." [Pediatrics Apr/92]

With radio- and microwave-based telecommunications, we're slowly cooking ourselves and all living things. The damage is cumulative, so the consequences are the same whether you have a large short-term exposure or a long-term mild exposure. And it's not optional. Satellite transmissions guarantee that every person on this Earth is being fried. All are affected irregardless of whether they've ever even seen a cell phone.

In our satellite-blasted microwave oven of a planet, as the body heats up, cells shut down their energy production, leading to fatigue. When this happens the brain shuts down. The thyroid shuts off. Blood vessels spasm, which can impair function in any organ through decreased circulation, including the heart. Direct damage to the nerves can produce neuropathies (numbness), and direct damage to the eyes, cataracts and macular degeneration. Cholesterol can rise. Asthma can be caused by EMFs producing histamine in mast cells. There can be digestive problems, tinnitus, sleep difficulties, rashes, and headaches. All tissues of the body can be affected, through direct DNA damage and oxidative damage, and the disruption of neurotransmitters, metabolism, cell signalling, cell division, enzyme function, and protein production.

Gerald Goldberg, MD explains in Would you Put Your Head in a Microwave Oven? how when blood flow to the left temporal-frontal region of the brain is impaired—the area most likely to shut down—your ability to develop insights, form judgments and respond to your environment is impaired. This same dysfunction can be seen with attention deficit disorder (ADD), autism, mania, depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, hyperirritability syndromes, dementia and Alzheimer's. Furthermore, the disruption of neurotransmitters can diminish your ability to calm yourself when agitated.

Other diseases linked directly in studies with EMFs include diabetes, Parkinson's, lymphomas, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Microwave radiation doesn't always singularly cause all of these conditions. There may be other factors, or co-factors such as chemical toxins and genetic predispositions. But there's no doubt that the incidence of Alzheimer's, ADD, autism, and depression has risen very closely in synch with the rise of electro-tech.

Here's an example of EMFs being a co-factor. Let's say you receive a vaccine before travelling overseas that contains aluminum, a toxin that has been implicated in the development of Alzheimers. Microwaves from your cell phone make the blood/brain barrier—which normally would block heavy metals from entering your brain—permeable. The aluminum enters your brain. You develop Alzheimers. So neither your cell phone nor the vaccine "caused" the disease, but without them, your brain would still be functioning normally. Given the preval‎ence of both cell phones and toxic-metal containing vaccinations in our society, could you really call either "safe," even if they were safe alone?

A typical computer-laden classroom with cell phone-laden students is a breeding ground for learning disabilities. A client of ours lived on a cell phone tower-infested hill, and her daughter tested as belonging in special ed classes. The family moved away from the towers, restricted the child's TV and computer time, and home schooled. Within a few months she tested well above special ed, finally able to concentrate. How many kids never get the chance of a thinking-friendly classroom environment? Instead of supplying an electrically calm space, we supply Ritalin. A Swedish study found that kid's brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term cell phone use, impairing their ability to study. I understand that parents want their kids to "get ahead" in the world, which may require being up on tech. But it's interesting that the part of the brain first destroyed by radiation is not the logical engineering part. It's the capacity to see the big picture. It's the ability to reflect to one's parents ten years later, "Why on Earth did you give me a cell phone when I was young and my brain was still developing, my skull was thinner, and my soft brain tissue allowed deeper penetration of radiation? What have I lost?"

When the mortgage company I worked for in the eighties computerized their accounting, out went the ledger-laden desks, replaced by back-to-back computers divided by gray cubicles. Within a year I was on anti-depressants, prescribed by my maternal cousin's psychiatrist. At the next reunion of my paternal relatives, I learned that fully half my cousins there were on anti-depressants too. I concluded that I had faulty genes, and decided not to have children. When aunts and uncles didn't admit to having such maladies, and didn't remember their older relatives suffering either, I thought they must not be as in touch with themselves as the younger generation, or hesitated to speak poorly of their family members.

However, mental illness has certainly turned out to be more than a genetic phenomenon. More than one in four U.S. Americans ages eighteen and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. And the 2007 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey discovered that 6.9% of high school students had attempted suicide in a year. Welcome to the new normal in the age of tech.

EMF's are one environmental hazard that cuts across social class, and even lifestyle. Some researchers say we've reached the point where the background radiation is almost as great as the radiation from a cell phone when you're using it. Microwave broadcasts rain on those who want the service as well as those who don't and are already sickened by it—with no escape. And even those who don't use cell phones share the road with drivers who chat while driving, whose brain functions are damaged to the extent that their response time is that of a drunk driver with .8 blood alcohol level. This effect lasts for fifteen minutes after they hang up. (The metal frames of cars make it more difficult for the phone to pick up signals, so the phone works much harder, making in-car talk ten times as dangerous to your health as out-of-car cell phone use.)
