Wise Words

"Radio frequency radiation and other forms of electromagnetic pollution are harmful at orders of magnitude well below existing guidelines. Science is one of the tools society uses to decide health policy. In the case of telecommunications equipment, such as cell phones, wireless networks, cell phone antennas, PDAs, and portable phones, the science is being ignored. Current guidelines urgently need to be re-examined by government and reduced to reflect the state of the science. There is an emerging public health crisis at hand and time is of the essence."

21st Century Dangers

The arrival of the 21st century has brought along a revolution of new health dangers. Eighty-five percent of North Americans own a cell phone, over 100 million watch TV beamed via satellite, and it is almost impossible to have a cup of coffee at our local cafe without being exposed to Wi-Fi. Wireless internet, smart phones, and laptops have transformed the way we work and live. But what are the consequences of this revolution? The same technology that allows us to video chat with friends across the world and surf the Internet from the comfort of our sofa has exposed us to a dangerous and unprecedented number of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). We are constantly being exposed to EMFs, invisible lines of force that surround all electrical devices, at a rate 100 million times greater than our grandparents were.

Emerging evidence shows that electric field radiation (EFR) from power lines, radio frequency (RF) radiation from cell phones/cell towers and very recently electric company 'Smart Meters', electromagnetic fields (EMF)'s from wall outlets, computers, dimmer switches, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL)'s, hair dryers, and a host of other everyday devices are creating energy disturbances within the body. These disturbances have been attributed to increased free radicals and disruptions in cellular DNA, which are in turn linked to a wide range of negative health effects. These risks are especially high for children, whose developing bodies make them even more vulnerable to electromagnetic disturbances in the brain and other organs.

Are we going to give up our cell phones, laptops, and other electronics? Absolutely not, but emerging scientific evidence tells us that it is crucial to make important changes in our home and work environments. Small changes, including how we use our electronic devices and how we arrange our living and working spaces, can make a big difference in our levels of exposure to EMF radiation. EnviroHealth consultants can help you identify and remedy the electromagnetic trouble spots in your home, school and office.

"For the first time in our evolutionary history, we have generated an entire secondary, virtual, densely complex environment - an electromagnetic soup - that essentially overlaps the human nervous system." - Michael Persinger, PhD, Neuroscientist, Laurentian University, Canada.
