EMFs and your health

Understanding the effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF)  and Radiofrequency Radiation (RF) on Your Health


Our health is directly affected by a variety of things we cannot see but know to be true. We don’t see the air, but we are sensitive to air quality on a smoggy day. We cannot see UV rays, but we can certainly feel their effects while baking at the beach. Gravity is also not visible but if you're clumsy like me, you'll be very familiar with its effects as well (I was famous in high school for not only falling down but also up stairs... it happened a lot).

And while we cannot see electromagnetic radiation (EMF), a growing number of people are reporting symptoms that directly correlate to electrical hypersensitivity (EHS) and radiofrequency radiation (RF).

Over the last 20 years, physicians with the American Academy of Environmental Medicine have been seeing patients whose symptoms appeared to be triggered by “dirty electricity” – which is when high frequencies travel along electric wires between the power source and electric grid. This includes power lines, televisions, computers, and other electrical devices. Those suffering from EHS might experience varying symptoms including headaches, dizziness, chronic fatigue, depression, memory loss and confusion.

Now, more than ever, we are living in a world of convenient luxuries that depend heavily on electrical pollutants. We have phones in our pockets, microwaves in our homes, and satellite systems in our cars. As science attempts to keep up with our technology leaps and bounds, we are only beginning to comprehend the effects RF waves have on our health. 

What is Radiofrequency Radiation?

The electromagnetic wave spectrum is composed of two parts: ionizing radiation and nonionizing radiation. Ionization radiation includes X-rays and ultraviolet rays, whereas non-ionizing radiation includes radiofrequency (RF). For years we have focused on the negative impact of ionizing radiation, but now we are starting to understand the impact of non-ionizing radiation or radiofrequency.  

RF is what allows you to borrow your neighbour’s WiFi while you’re waiting for the service guy to come (thank you university roommates!). Without the need for wires, RF has the power to pass through walls and go just about anywhere it pleases – and that includes inside our body. In this digital age, almost anything we can imagine can be a source of radiofrequency radiation. Our cell phones might seem obvious, but what about our Smart Meters, our children’s gaming systems, the baby monitor? They all use wireless communication, surrounding us in a constant invisible fog of over-stimulation and electrosmog. 

Our society encourages us to keep up or fall behind. Have you ever passed the Apple store the day a new iPhone hits the market? So many of us are willing to stand in lengthy lines, just to be early adopters of the latest technology. We prioritize and depend on technology to make our lives better. And no doubt, it does. However, most of us never consider how our addiction to technology also impacts our health by inundating our bodies with a constant barrage of radio frequencies.

How Can EMF & RF Affect Your Health? 

While EMF and RF radiation is considered "biologically safe" according to safety data provided by Health Canada and other organizations, the reality is that the level of our constant low-grade exposure is not reflected in their guidelines.

Some scientists have been researching the impacts of electrosmog on our bodies long before our world became so highly digitized. In 1987, one study proved that exposure to electrosmog at levels considerably lower than those observed in urban areas created changes in human brain waves and behaviour.

EMF may also affect the mitochondria -- our cellular energy factories, which are fundamental to every energy-dependent process in our body, most notably our nervous system. As a result, EMF-induced disruption of our mitochondria may effectively bolster neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as playing a part in other diseases and health issues where mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated. These include psychiatric disorders, autoimmune diseases, headaches and migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, reproductive disorders, cancers… the list goes on and on! 

If EMF and RF are already having an impact our lives, what are the long-term effects for our children raised in a world choked by electrosmog? Only time will tell. 

Minimize Your EMF & RF Exposure

While more data is required, we already know that there are larger health ripple effects associated with our beloved devices. You can start reducing your exposure to EMFs by:
  • Getting rid of your cordless phones (old-school land-line?). 
  • Turn off your WiFi- Internet can be hard wired into your home to prevent WiFi exposure, as can your television “box” and any other things that are wireless and transmitting and receiving signals. 
  • Switch your cell phone to airplane mode or turn it off at night. 
  • STOP CARRYING YOUR CELL PHONE IN YOUR BRA, PANTS POCKET OR DIRECTLY ON YOUR BODY. .. especially if you are also pregnant and using your phone near your belly. JUST STOP IT. 
  • Use headphones or speaker phone while making a call on your cell phone instead of holding it to your ear.
  • EMF-reducing sleep sanctuary or canopies may help block EMF according to renowned German physician Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, from the Academy for the Healing Arts and Neural Therapy and Biology.
  • Finally, there is one other thing you can do to neutralize the toxic effects of EMF and RF exposure, and that is to GET OUTSIDE!

By simply spending time in nature and grounding yourself so you have direct contact with the earth, you are opening the gateway for an influx of electrons to be absorbed and distributed throughout your body. This transfer of electrons can help to neutralize oxidative stress and minimize any derangements in the electrical activities of your body.  Put down the damn phone and open the door to a healthier future!

I want to help you take control of your health! If you believe you have symptoms that could be related to electrical hypersensitivity, please book a free Health Discovery Session to find out more.

​In health,

Thank you. I do not even engage in Television. I watch it once every two to three months. I read paper literature and not I reader information even though I have some. I don't carry my phone and rarely use it only to call across Canada as I work in the Northwest Territories. I have felt like a troglodyte because I subtlety advocate to put it down. Turn it off. Go out . Read a book. Be alone with the silence and your body. When you are out with a friend turn everything off. Honour them by being present for them. This means looking at them not your iPhone. Exercise for one half an hour three to four times a day with out headphones on. This article affirms what I have suspected all along. I will chose being a parhia in my world.thank you for listening.

I suffer from EMF sensitivity.
It is a big problem because I am a software engineer. I would like to set up an appointment.
