Cells in the retina are responsible for producing melatonin, which regenerates the retina during the night. Using LED lights after sunset diminishes the regenerative and restorative capacities of your eyes, raising the risk of macular degeneration.

LED light can exacerbate health issues by promoting mitochondrial dysfunction and suppressing energy production within cells. Furthermore, LED light, including that from electronic screens, suppresses melatonin production, thereby disrupting sleep and leading to far-reaching health consequences.

Download the pdf of The Dangers of LED Lighting: An Interview With Dr. Alexander Wunsch By Dr. Joseph Mercola

Here are the most important tips from the interview with Dr. Alexander Wunsch about the dangers of LED lighting:

1. Impact of Blue Light: LEDs emit a significant amount of blue light, which can cause oxidative stress and damage in tissues. Blue light exposure is particularly harmful after sunset as it reduces melatonin production, which is crucial for sleep and regeneration.
2. Lack of Infrared Light: Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs lack near-infrared light, which is beneficial for health. Near-infrared light supports tissue repair and regeneration, boosts mitochondrial function, and enhances ATP production.
3. Flicker Issue: LEDs often use pulse-width modulation for dimming, causing a flicker that, while not always perceptible to the human eye, can cause biological stress and discomfort. This flicker can be harmful at the cellular level.
4. Analogue vs. Digital Light Sources: Incandescent bulbs provide a continuous spectrum of light, including beneficial infrared wavelengths, whereas LEDs provide a digital, flickering light that lacks these wavelengths.
5. Biological Effects of Light: Light quality affects our health significantly. Natural light sources like sunlight and incandescent bulbs provide a full spectrum of light that supports health, while LEDs do not.
6. Protective Measures:
   • Use Incandescent or Halogen Bulbs: Prefer using incandescent or halogen bulbs, especially after sunset. Halogen bulbs, particularly low-voltage ones operated on a DC transformer, provide a healthier light spectrum.
   • Blue Blockers: Wear blue-blocking glasses after sunset to reduce exposure to harmful blue light.
   • Check for Flicker: Use slow-motion settings on smartphones or specific flicker meters to check if your lighting sources flicker and avoid those that do.
   • OLED Screens: Consider using OLED screens over traditional LED screens for less flicker and more natural light quality.
7. Avoiding Overexposure: Limit exposure to LED screens and lights, especially in the evening. Make sure to balance any exposure with natural sunlight or incandescent lighting during the day.

By following these tips, one can mitigate the potential harms caused by excessive and improper LED light exposure, thereby supporting better overall health and well-being.

“It’s all about energy production. What I didn’t appreciate until I heard it from you, is that maybe only one-third, a measly third, of our energy that we produce – and obviously one of those is ATP – comes from the food that we eat. The electrons that are transferred from the food, primarily the fats and the carbohydrates, are ultimately transferred to oxygen and generate that ATP. But only one-third of the energy comes from that. The rest, two-thirds or so, comes from this light exposure.”

Prof. Olle Johansson – Adverse Health Effects of Artificial Electromagnetic Fields

If you don’t have the time to watch the videos, I’ve included a few top slides to summaries their findings after the videos.

Prof. Tom Butler – What does Science say about Risks of Wireless technologies

Dr. Tom Butler is Professor of Information Systems at University College Cork, Ireland. In UCC he leads research and development on artificial intelligence technologies for regulatory compliance and risk management. Tom is also actively collaborating with a global community of scientists from several disciplines, including medical practitioners, in disseminating the findings of independent research on, and assessing the health risks of, wireless technologies such and smartphones, WiFi and 5G.

Summary of the talk by Prof. Olle Johansson – Adverse Health Effects of Artificial Electromagnetic Fields

Prof. Olle Johansson estimates that there might be over 350 million hyper-electrosensitive people worldwide already and with governments recommended guidelines exciding natural radiation this number will get bigger.

“How much more radiation penetrates your body today, compared to 10 years ago?”
The answer: “Quintillion times more – that is 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 times more!” (18 zeros)
Olle Johansson, PhD, Associate Professor in Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden

Recommended guidelines for electromagnetic radiation by Prof. Olle Johansson

Prof. Olle Johansson considers that natural background radiation should be a real guideline for standards regarding the exposure of non-ionising radiation.

Biological effects from non-ionizing radiation at different levels

Probably the most revealing and scary study where the researchers found that 24-hour ‘safe’ mobile phone radiation was similar to 1600 chest X-rays. Nowhere in the world, anyone would be allowed that sort of chest x-ray exposure. This study has been replicated many times.

A famous reflex study where they’ve fractured a molecule with 24h mobile phone radiation (which is considered ‘safe’) which is corresponding to 1600 chest Xrays in humans/day

The precautionary principle is a strategy for approaching issues of potential harm when extensive scientific knowledge on the matter is lacking. It emphasizes caution, pausing and review before leaping into new innovations that may prove disastrous.

The Precautionary Principle

There are about 30 000 research papers on the dangers of electromagnetic radiation

Read top tips on how to protect yourself from electro-smog

The post Prof Olle Johansson and Prof Tom Butler speaking at Galway, Ireland Conference in November 2019 on the Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation appeared first on Feng Shui London UK • The Capital Feng Shui Consultant.

Summary of EMF*D: 5G, Wi-Fi & Cell Phones – Hidden Harms and How to Protect Yourself by Dr. Joseph Mercola

The long-awaited book by Dr Joseph Mercola about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation is here (almost, published on 18 February – and only £1.82 on Kindle). Read the summary of the key points and more importantly, key solutions and five steps you can take to take control of your electromagnetic life.

1. Measure radiation levels already present so you know what you’re dealing with. You can do it yourself, by getting some measuring gadgets or hire an expert (such as myself) to measure levels of radiation in your home or workplace. The cheapest meters are Trifield TF2 meter and Acousticom 2 EMF Detector. It’s also an investment for the whole family, friends and neighbours (yes, you’d have to educate your neighbours to switch off wifi for the night!).

2. Reduce your local electro-smog emitted by your devices. Connect your computers and printers to the internet using a hard-wired Ethernet cable. Yes, I know, you won’t have wifi – that’s the point. Avoid any high electromagnetic fields by using a grounded Cat7 Ethernet cable. Turn off wi-fi in your modems and routers – they’re wifi-enabled by default but you can switch if off via the software and you can set when it works during the day only. You can purchase your own modem and separate router. Or, get a router that doesn’t have wifi at all. And then switch off wifi in your laptops, computers and devices by putting them into airplane mode. Disable Bluetooth on your computers. If you have to have your router on, you can cover it with RF-shielding material or wire mesh box. Laptops emit high levels of EMFs, but there are things you can do to make them safer for everyday use. Extra precaution: make sure that your computer has a grounded alternating-current (AC) power cord.

3. Take control of your mobile phone. Keep your mobile switched on to airplane mode when you’re not using it. It’s a hassle but you’ll be also protected from potential hacks (when you have wifi and Bluetooth on you can be easily hacked). When the signal is weak, avoid using your phone because it tries harder to make the connection with the mobile masts and therefore there is a stronger electromagnetic field (up to 10 000 times more).

4. Beaware of any cheap devices that promise protection such as stickers and crystals, etc. They might make you feel better but you can still measure the radiation from your phone, etc. Avoid using your mobile on a bus, train or in your car because it has to work harder to get connected, hence more radiation. Don’t sleep with your mobile in your bedroom, unless it’s powered off completely. And NEVER sleep with your phone right under your pillow! (I have seen teenagers doing that! Obviously, they’ve skipped the physics class.) Don’t use your mobile phone as an alarm clock, if so, put it in airplane mode. Don’t use the wireless mobile phone chargers, to minimise the unnecessary electro-smog. If you kid wants to play a game – put the device in airplane mode. And, most of all, put more distance between your phone and your body.

“Sleeping with your head inches from a device that transmits radio signals all night long is a virtual prescription for neurodegeneration and increased risk of brain cancer.” Dr Mercola

5. Reduce outside sources of radiation, which includes 5G. If you’re hype-electrosensitive or worried about the radiation coming from outside or neighbours get an EMF sleeping tent. You can paint your bedroom (this is the most important room to make sure is safe) with EMF-shielding paint. Both need to be done properly and checked properly because these can do more harm if not correctly grounded, etc. You can purchase Fraday cage bags for mobiles, computers, etc which will block all radiation. Also, you can buy EMF-protective clothing such as hats, t-shirts and underwear. If unfortunately, you have a smart meter and you can’t get rid of it, you can install smart meter guards which will block 99% of the radiation.

So, Mercola offers lots of don’ts. But, I guess, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Prevention is better than cure.

“How much more radiation penetrates your body today, compared to 10 years ago?”
The answer: “Quintillion times more – that is 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 times more!”  (18 zeros)
Olle Johansson, PhD, Associate Professor in Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden

How to repair EMF-related damage?
Mercola also has some lifestyle tips such as:
• Most importantly, limit your exposure to electro-smog, especially during sleep when your body repairs itself and rejuvenates.
• Do restrictive eating, eating in 6-8 hour window or less.
• Exercise. Mercola recommends blood flow restriction training.
• Supplement your diet with molecular hydrogen tables and niacin (25mg/day) as well as magnesium malate or citrate (our bodies lose magnesium when stressed and electromagnetic radiation is an environmental stressor).
• Take near-infrared saunas.

Dr Detrich Klinghardt estimates that 80% of all health problems are caused or contributed by man-made electromagnetic radiation.

A body of more than 6,000 studies has been accumulated since the 1930’s producing an overwhelming conclusion that exposure to microwave and electromagnetic fields is significantly harmful to all health and life itself.

Health risks of smart meters
Dr Federica Lamech, a GP from Victoria in Australia where smart meters were made compulsory in 2006, looked at 92 detailed reports from patients who believed they had suffered health problems such as insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, fatigue, cognitive disturbances, abnormal sensations and dizziness after being exposed to smart meters. She herself suffered from “palpitations, chest pain insomnia, dizziness, inability to concentrate, memory loss and fainting spells. I [later] found out it was [when] the smart meters were remotely turned on” according to The Ecologist.
Remember, smart meters are not mandatory in the UK – you can refuse to get one.

Studies on dangers of electromagnetic pollution

“I have no doubt in my mind that at the present time the greatest polluting element in the earth’s environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. “ – Dr Robert O. Becker, author of The Body Electric: Electromagnetism And The Foundation Of Life

Human exposure of natural and man-made electrosmog

There are over 20 ooo papers on electromagnetic pollution and radiation – here’s a sample of them.

Protect your children. Don’t expose them to Wifi radiation and other types of radiation as dirty electricity, etc.

There are four main categories of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposures:

1. Alternating current (AC) electric fields at 60 Hz – This is the electric component of EMF generated by household wiring and appliances, particularly those that are not grounded, such as two-pronged appliances.
2. AC magnetic fields at 60 Hz – These are the magnetic components of EMF, commonly produced by power lines, electrical faults in house wiring, grounding issues, and equipment like motors and transformers, which act as concentrated sources.
3. Radio frequencies (RF) – Emitted by devices such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth gadgets, and smart meters, RF has become pervasive in modern environments.
4. “Dirty electricity” – Refers to transient voltage spikes in the frequency range of 2 to 100 kHz, often caused by electronic devices and non-linear loads. More on dirty electricity and what to do about it

Each of these EMFs requires a specific type of meter for measurement, as no single device can assess all forms comprehensively.

To better understand these, AC magnetic fields can be visualised as invisible lines generated by an electromagnet, passing through any object, including the human body. AC electric fields, in contrast, are akin to invisible lightning, representing electrons seeking to ground. Even when off, devices such as bedside lamps can still emit electric fields, akin to “leaking electrons.” Radio frequencies are like fast, invisible flickers of light, while dirty electricity can be seen as the pollution of the other EMF fields.

Summary for personal action
• Use a headset or a wireless headphone with a low-power Bluetooth emitter. Using a wired headset with a microphone reduces the amount of radiation to the brain, as does using a speakerphone with the phone held a hand’s distance away. If you use a wireless headset, turn it off when you’re not using it.

Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Is Doing to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family by Dr Devra Davis

• Do not keep a phone turned on next to your body all day, but if you must, face the front of the phone (the keypad) toward your body, as the antennas are at the back. When you are not using the phone, if it is on, stow it in a backpack, purse, or bag. If you keep it on your waist, turn it off. Do not keep a wireless headset turned on in your ear or in your pocket when not in use.
• Whenever possible, only use your phone when the signal quality is good. The weaker the signal, the more the radio frequency has to boost itself to get connected, increasing your exposure. When reception is weak (such as in a rural areas) or when you are in a metal box, such as an elevator, train, or car, use your phone only for emergencies, unless the vehicle has a built-in external antenna to which the phone connects.
• Text more often and when doing so hold the phone away from your body in your hands or on some kind of barrier, a book for example, in your lap. Phones typically use less radiation to send text than to speak, and texting keeps radiation from your head.
• Put it on speaker. Your exposure drops more than exponentially as you move the phone away from your head. Note you don’t have to keep the phone very far away to reduce your exposure by a thousand or even ten thousand times. Even when using the speaker, hold the phone away from your torso when you are talking and be sure that the back of the phone is not close to others, especially nursing infants or other children.
• Teach your children to text instead of calling with their phones and tell them not to keep phones on when in their pockets. Tweens and teens and the rest of us should not sleep with cell phones on under pillows or next to the bed all night.
• Pregnant women should keep their cell phone away from their abdomen. New mothers should also protect their babies from the phone. Do not speak on the phone or text while holding the device near the abdomen or the baby’s head and do not point the back of the phone where the antennas are located toward a child. A fetus’s or baby’s developing brain is most susceptible to radiation.
• Men, especially those trying to become fathers, should also keep their cell phones turned off when in their pockets.
• Be wary of radiation shields and other such protective devices that are claimed to limit exposure to radiation. They may reduce the connection quality and therefore force the phone to transmit at a higher output power.
• Use a landline at home and not a cordless phone, as these emit radio frequency radiation like that of cell phones. (Having a landline means you will have a working phone if and when electricity is cut off during blackouts or if cell towers are not working.)
• Avoid using a phone or texting while driving. It’s like driving drunk.
• Read your user guides and the FCC and company manufacturer Web sites. Most of the current user guides provide information about safe distances for phone use in nearly unreadable, small print in the user manuals. The FCC lists precautions on its Web site here: www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html

Electromagnetic Hygiene in 12 Easy Steps – Summary of Light That Heals

Light That Heals: Energy Medicine Today & Beyond by Donna Fisher is composed of two parts: the first part is about electromagnetic radiation and health issues caused by it and offers 12 easy steps to remedy the problems and the second part is about light therapies (EPRT – Electro Pressure Regeneration Therapy, SCENAR, COSMODIC, PEMF, NIIT, Radiowave Therapy, Oncothermia, Therabionic Therapy, TTF Therapy, etc) that may shape the medicine of the future. For feng shui purposes read the 12 useful tips for electromagnetic hygiene taken from the book. For more information regarding specific problems caused by electromagnetic pollution and research about it, read the ebook (or if you’re electrosensitive get the paper book – see the link to Amazon after the tips).

1. Electric equipment

Increase distance from electrical cords and electric equipment. Move the power bar at least 1 meter away from your feet. Use a wired extended keyboard to increase your distance from the computer screen. This will reduce the magnetic field.

2. Lighting

Try to work with the fluorescent tube lighting turned off. Remove CFL (compact fluorescent bulbs) from your work area. LED lights (ones that don’t use transformers) are the lights of the future. In the meantime use incandescent light bulbs, as these do not generate poor power quality. NOTE: the original incandescent light bulbs are no longer available in Canada as the government has mandated that only energy efficient lights can be sold.

3. Internet access

Use an Ethernet cable for Internet access (not Wi-Fi). If you need to use wireless, ensure the wireless router is as far as possible from your body and turn it off when not in use. Ensure that you turn off the Wi-Fi on your computer (tablet) and not just the router. Use a wired mouse and keyboard.

4. Cordless phone (DECT phones)

Replace your cordless telephones with a corded landline phone. The new digital cordless phones in North America (DECT phones) constantly emit microwave radiation, even when not in use. The older analogue phones emit microwave radiation only when being used. The best option for reducing RF exposure is to use a wired phone.

5. Cell phone (mobile phones)

Text instead of talk, and use the ‘speakerphone’ option when talking and don’t hold the phone next to your head. Do not keep the phone in a pocket, in your bra, or on a belt. When the signal is weak and/or phone is searching for a carrier, it is transmitting at maximum power and should not be used at this time. When not using your cell phone, keep in airplane mode (with Wi-Fi turned off) so it does not radiate.

6. Electrical panel & utility room

Ensure that workers (students) are at least 3 meters from an electric panel and are not adjacent to a utility room as these generate high magnetic fields. Note: Low-frequency magnetic fields (those that we use for electricity) can penetrate walls, windows, doors, ceilings and floors. Consequently, exposure in one room may be coming from an adjacent room. For this reason, it is important to spend as little time as possible near such sources even if they are on the other side of the wall. Radio frequency radiation can also penetrate walls and is blocked or reflected by metal objects generating potential hotspots. If you are in a location where there are radio frequency (RF) sources and metal objects (filing cabinet, fridge, stove, sink, etc.), your RF exposure may be higher or lower depending on the location of the source, the metal and your body. Recommendation: Have a qualified technician measure your workplace for electrosmog. In areas where people spend hours each day, levels should be less than the following values: 1 milliGauss for power frequency magnetic fields; 5 V/m for power frequency electric fields; 40 GS units for dirty electricity; 0.01 microW/cm2 for wireless radiation; 0.5 V for ground current at 60 Hz; and 10 mV for kHz ground current.

Prevention is better than cure!

Electromagnetic hygiene in your bedroom

We spend a third of each day in our bedroom and for that reason, it is important that the bedroom be electromagnetically clean. Reduce electrosmog by following the steps for your office as well as the steps below:

1. Baby monitor

Remove wireless baby monitors. Wireless baby monitors constantly transmit microwave radiation. Infants should not be exposed to this radiation. Sound activated baby monitors are not yet available in North America but are available in Europe.

2. Clock radio

Move clock radio (and other electric equipment) so it is at least 1 meter from your bed (clock radios emit electromagnetic fields that may affect sleep). Keep the bedroom as dark as possible as light also affects sleep.

3. Computer, cell phone, Wi-Fi router, tablets

Unplug the computer at night if it is in your bedroom. Disconnect the Wi-Fi router and turn your cell phone off or keep it in airplane mode with WiFi turned off. This is especially important for children under the age of 18. Several national and international advisories are recommending that children under the age of 18 limit their cell phone use. Use iPods/iPads/smart tablets in airplane mode with WiFi turned off and use a wired computer for Internet access.

4. Smart meters

Ask your utility to have your wireless smart meter wired or use analogue smart meters. If this is not possible, use GS filters 1 to reduce the levels of dirty electricity generated by smart meters. Do not sleep in rooms adjacent to the smart meter. Shielding of the meter may be necessary if your smart meter emits radiation frequently. Watch this video about smart meters

5. Electric blanket and waterbed

Avoid use of electric blankets and waterbeds. If you need to use an electric blanket, unplug it after it has warmed the bed. This eliminates the electric and magnetic fields generated by these blankets. If you turn the electric blanket off but leave it plugged in, it will generate an electric field. So to reduce exposure unplugging the blanket is essential.

Light That Heals: Energy Medicine Today & Beyond by Donna Fisher – Available on Kindle, etc

6. Turn bedroom power off

Consider turning off the power (at the electrical panel) to your bedroom (and adjacent rooms) while you sleep.

To sum up

It’s a well-researched book on the dangers of electromagnetic pollution with some fundamental tips on how to avoid it and protect yourself from it and some interesting ideas and new technologies for a better and brighter future. I strongly recommend getting the ebook or paperback: Light That Heals: Energy Medicine Today & Beyond by Donna Fisher  –  a timely warning for the conscious and health seeking individuals. Research suggests that 3-30% of the population might be already electrosensitive (see the conference on Electromagnetic Radiation or watch the video below from that conference). Having talked people who are electrosensitive and advising them, I can’t stress enough: prevention is better than cure. Donna Fisher’s website – she’s written other books on the subject.

The Republic of Kazakhstan, dirty electricity and electrosmog
Some countries take the health of their population much seriously. For example the Republic of Kazakhstan. From the book: “The International Conference on Electromagnetic Fields and Human Health was held in the Republic of Kazakhstan in September 2003. In November of the same year, the state health department of the Republic of Kazakhstan issued sanitary norms addressing Transient EMF, a move which historically takes decades.” and “The Republic of Kazakhstan has acknowledged that there is no safe level of exposure to dirty electricity. A limit of 50 GS units (industrial) was immediately mandated to protect workers. For the public, in their homes and non-industrial workplaces, a reading less than 30 GS units is easier to achieve.” To find out more about The Republic of Kazakhstan, dirty electricity and electrosmog read the book.

From my feng shui experience a few more tips for combating electro-smog:

• Avoid metal beds and metal spring mattresses

An organic foam mattress is ideal because it doesn’t contain any metal which can amplify electro-smog.
Mention my name (Jan Cisek) and you’ll get 15% off the price.

• Sleep in total darkness 

Most light (not red or orange though) and strong electromagnetic pollution (light is electromagnetic) will affect your melatonin production and consequently your sleep. Use eye masks if necessary.

• Install a demand switch for your bedroom

If possible, install a demand switch which will cut off all electricity in your bedroom once you switch off the last lamp (by your bed). There is one downside to the demand switch technology – you won’t be able to charge your mobile phone, etc.

• Earth or ground yourself

Earthing or grounding helps with electro-smog. People with electrosensitive report lesser symptoms when they’re earthed or grounded.
There are four basic ways to earth yourself to benefit from it:
1) earth your bed (requires some knowledge and testing equipment)
2) walk barefoot whenever you can (not very practical) but even touching a tree for a few minutes can make a difference
3) have regular short, 10-20min baths in the evening (my favourite). People who are electrosensitive discovered that they had fewer symptoms when they were having baths because they were naturally earthed. Add some Espom salts or magnesium (magnesium is depleted from our bodies when we get stressed) to your bath.
4) get Helios3 – geopathic stress harmoniser (very easy to install – just plug it into the socket) which adds Schumann resonance/waves – which is the heartbeat of the Earth  to your environment.
Read more about grounding / earthing

• Install dirty electricity filters

Dirty electricity (DE), which is mentioned a lot in Light That Heals: Energy Medicine Today & Beyond by Donna Fisher is very easy to solve. Just install some dirty electricity filters. Different houses, depending on the number of electrical appliances and the electrical wiring will require a different number of dirty electricity filters. It’s best to get somebody (like me) to measure the dirty electricity and install the right number of dirty electricity filters. But you can do it yourself: 1) get a dirty electricity meter 2) get some dirty electricity filters (most homes will need 5-20 dirty electricity filters depending on the levels of radiation). Please note that dirty electricity is different from general electromagnetic pollution – it’s just one of many aspects/sources of the electromagnetic smog.

• Don’t use the microwave oven

Ever. Read about the dangers of microwave ovens. 

• Eat well and take supplements

Optimise your diet. The stronger your constitution the better. Donna Fisher suggests taking vitamin C and magnesium on regular bases. I take ginko biloba – it protects from environmental pollutions and radiation (ginko biloba was the only tree that survived the Hiroshima nuclear bomb). Check yourself for any mineral deficiencies and toxicity. I trust that you don’t have any amalgam tooth filings (metal can amplify electro-smog) – use Heavy Metal Magnet tablets which helps remove heavy metals from your body naturally and safely. And that you eat organic foods at home (and don’t use sugar – if you want an alternative to sugar then xylitol is the best option). There is a homoeopathic remedy for electrosensitivity called Algin if you’re electrosensitive.

• Learn to manage stress

Learn tapping / EFT which helps with reducing stress and boosting the immunity. Mindfulness and breathing help too. Breath in for 5 seconds and breath out for 5 seconds without any pauses. HRV research suggests that this type of breathing syncs breathing with your blood pressure rhythm and improves your heart rate variability (HRV).

Summary of THE LIGHT DOCTOR: Using Light to Boost Health, Improve Sleep, and Live Longer by Dr. Martin Moore-Ede

The post Electromagnetic Hygiene in 12 Easy Steps – Summary of Light That Heals: Energy Medicine Today & Beyond by Donna Fisher appeared first on Feng Shui London UK • The Capital Feng Shui Consultant.

Watch the very informative documentary at the end of this blog (Resonance: Beings of Frequency by James Russell) about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation and the role of Schumann Resonance in balancing your health and well-being. Research on the effects of mobile phones, mobile masts, DECT cordless home phones, microwave ovens, WiFi broadband, etc – is shown as a possible cause for all kind of health issues including cancer (research suggests that 3-30% of the population are already electrosensitive). Cancer clusters around the mobile phone masts are discussed, showing that women can develop breast cancer more in those areas.

WHO (World Health Organisation) re-classified “radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use”. All mobile phones already carry a warning (in small print, of course), but children are most in danger because their brains are still developing and their skulls are not thick enough to protect them from the electrosmog. The solution for mobile phone use is very simple: ideally, use only the speakerphone function (hands-free headsets can transfer electromagnetic pollution). Distance makes a difference – so keep your mobile phone or DECT cordless phone as far away as possible from your body.

Schumann Resonance or Waves

Schumann resonances or waves are a natural frequency of the Earth (7.83Hz)  identical to our alpha brain wave pattern and offer a possible explanation of how to protect oneself from unnatural electromagnetic radiation. Being in contact with the natural vibration of the Earth – i.e. Schumann waves – helps to neutralise the negative impact of the electrosmog.

Contact with nature has an earthing/grounding effect and connects you with Schumann resonance

Walking barefoot on the grass, hugging trees, having baths regularly (people who are electrosensitive noticed that they don’t have their usual symptoms when they’re having a bath – mainly because it’s likely they were earthed via water pipes), and wearing shoes with leather soles – are all possible ways to connect with Schumann resonance. Alternatively,  install a  Schumann wave resonator (Helios3) to create an abundance of this beneficial earth frequency in your home or office.

Helios3 UK-Geopathic Stress Neutraliser and Schumann Resonance Generator

Benefits of using Helios3 – the Schumman wave resonator

• Counteracts EMF pollution (electro-smog)
• Protection from geopathic stress
• Better quality of sleep
• Less hyperactivity in children
• Lower absenteeism and increased productivity in the workplace
• Enhanced feng shui and more…

Sound, restorative sleep = good health

Sleep is universally considered to be the most fundamental aspect of our health. During sleep, the pineal gland releases melatonin which is the most potent antioxidant our bodies can produce and which protects us from all kinds of illnesses including cancer. Light and electromagnetic smog affect the production of melatonin which is only produced during the night.

Sleep masks – a fundamental aid for good restorative sleep

In order to have a good restorative sleep, you must sleep in total darkness (even one photon will disturb the production of melatonin) and with little electromagnetic pollution around (light is electromagnetic radiation hence our bodies mistake electrosmog as light) which will again affect the production of melatonin. So switch off the WiFi for the night and remove any electromagnetic pollution gadgets from your bedroom. If, for whatever reason, you can’t sleep in total darkness – use sleep masks to cover your eyes for the night.

The key message: avoid and protect 
The message of the documentary is simple: avoid and protect yourself from electromagnetic pollution because once you become electrosensitive it will be very difficult for you to function normally. You have been warned.

Key ideas for dealing with electromagnetic pollution:
• avoid it and minimise it
• don’t use metal beds and metal spring mattresses because these can amplify electro-smog – use wooden beds and foam mattresses (Mention my name: Jan Cisek and you’ll get 15% off the organic foam mattress price).
• have short 20-min baths in the evening to ground yourself – explore earthing or grounding
• take regular breaks away from computers, etc
• install dirty electricity filters
• spend time in nature, parks – walk barefoot to benefit from earthing or grounding as a way of connecting to Schumann resonance
• try this homoeopathic remedy for electrosensitivity
