What Are EMFs?
In all examples of EMF, the energy field causes
a change
in everything it encounters.
EMF (or ElectroMagnetic Field) is a broad term
which includes electric fields generated by charged particles, magnetic
fields generated by charged particles in motion, and radiated fields
such as TV, radio, and microwaves. Electric fields are measured in units
of volts per meter or V/m. Magnetic fields are measured in milli-Gauss
or mG. The field is always strongest near the source and diminishes as
you move away from the source. These energies have the ability to
influence particles at great distances. For example, the radiation from
a radio tower influences the atoms within a distant radio antenna,
allowing it to pick up the signal. Despite the many wonderful
conveniences of electrical technology, the effects of EMF on biological
tissue remains the most controversial aspect of the EMF issue with
virtually all scientists agreeing that more research is necessary to
determine safe or dangerous levels. Iron, necessary for healthy blood
and stored in the brain, is highly effected by EMF. The permeability of
the cell membrane of our nerves, blood vessels, skin, and other organs
is effected. The intricate DNA of the chromosomes has been shown to be
effected by EMFs as well. In fact, throughout our bodies, every
biochemical process involves precisely choreographed movement of
EMF-sensitive atoms, molecules, and ions.
When Are EMFs Dangerous?
2.5 mG is the generally accepted limit of ELF
magnetic field exposure but no one tells you that the average hair
dryer, vacuum cleaner, or can opener you use EMITS AN AMAZING 300 mG or
more!!!
After more than 25 years of intensive study, the health and safety
conscious Swedish government has established a safety limit for
exposure to ELF magnetic field at 2.5 mG, and VLF magnetic fields at
only 0.25 mG. Although the U.S. government has been slower to act in
establishing its own standards, the Swedish standard is generally
accepted throughout the world. What this possibly means is that if
someone consistently experiences exposure which exceeds the standard,
that person could be at risk for developing health problems
which can range from headaches, fatigue, and dizziness to skin rashes,
miscarriage, leukemia, and cancer. In fact, numerous court cases where
plaintiffs claim to have been injured by EMFs are now in progress.
Even though the controversy of conflicting scientific studies
persists, it seems strange that cigarettes and alcohol are packaged
with warnings we already know about, and the sodium, fat, and
cholesterol content of foods must appear on the labels, but no one
warns you that the average hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, or can
opener emits 300 mG or more. The Holistec EMF Detector will let
you identify the danger zones around your environment. Lend it
to your friends and family to use, especially if they have small
children. You will receive a list of important areas to test and
simple tips on how help safe guard your environment.
