Bio-Energetics...dun dun dun

The topic of the day is bio-energetics! Specifically, the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and Radio Frequency on the body and brain. A whole host of natural and unnatural electrical and magnetic fields are surrounding us. The good, the bad and the ugly.

EMFs are frequencies and wavelengths that emit from electronics of all kinds, from power lines to coffee makers. 

"Science teaches that all energy is electromagnetic in nature. Our bodies and its individual organs radiate their own EMFs and our trillion cells communicate via electromagnetic frequencies. Disruption of electromagnetic energy in cells causes impaired cell metabolism, which leads to disease." - http://electromeds.com/magnopro/emf-good-vs-bad/

Are you feeling unwell? Does it seem like there is no explanation as to why? Don't balk at electro sensitivity.

In this age, the 24/7 radiation from electronic devices barraging our homes and environment could be the cause.

We've all heard that cell phone radiation causes cancer but did you know symptoms also include: 

• Memory, or concentration problems • Headache, or pressure in the head • Tinnitus (buzzing/ringing in the ears) • Difficulty sleeping, low quality of sleep, melatonin reduction • Fatigue • Nausea • Digestive problems • Tingling sensations, or tremors • Adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems • Hormone changes, menopause-like symptoms • Multiple Chemical Sensitivity • Dizziness, or vertigo • Heart Palpitations, low or high blood pressure • Numbness, or pain in joints, muscles (fibromyalgia) • Eye irritation, deteriorating vision, floaters • Red skin blotches, eczema • Depression, anxiety • Poor blood sugar regulation • Immune abnormalities • Asthma, or shortness of breath • Seizures • Dry eyes, lack of saliva, nosebleeds

Wireless radiation is no longer voluntary and radiation is everywhere, making it harder for people to realize where the source of their symptoms is coming from. Exposure over time can really do some damage.

Unfortunately, most people are grossly unaware of electro pollution and the very real and harmful effects it has on the body and brain, especially in children. Or maybe you have heard of it, but don't take it very seriously. Well, there is plenty of science behind it and worth looking into. Once you reduce the amount of harmful EMFs in your home and life, it just might help you to feel better all around. Many people are becoming increasingly electro sensitive and don't even know it. Here is a website just to get you started on your own research about EMFs in your environment: c4st.org

For me, this issue is poignant, I am constantly on wireless devices. The hardest thing to give up is the instant gratification of knowledge at my fingertips. I'm addicted to it. It feeds my desire to learn. At all times, I can access any information I want, where-ever I am. How convenient! But at what cost? 

The main culprits in our house, that we know of, are wireless internet, heavy cell phone use and a baby monitor (baby monitors are among the worst for EMF radiation - which is disturbing as babies are affected by it the most). 

It's decided. We are going to start repairing our cells (!) and for starters, kick it old school by wiring shielded ethernet cables to our computers and cell phones and using a corded home phone line (Cordless = bad). Sure it's definitely not as convenient, but worth the extra effort for health's sake. 

I'll have to be more deliberate and sit down at my computer to dig in. Forced to spend less time in my social media community means I'll spend more time with myself and the people around me. The science is out on that one as well...the psychological and relational effects of our smart phones and social media - but that's a whole other can of worms.

Our mobile phones will be on and off airplane mode most days and off altogether during the night, so it's good to be reachable in the event of an emergency. We will still text message and Facetime through the computer and while we're out and about!

Sharing this awareness with you, so that, if you're interested, you can take whatever steps you can to minimize the impact. 

Update! I've gotten rid of my smartphone altogether and instead opted for healthy tech from Mudita. The Kompakt is a minimalist e-ink phone that helps eliminate distractions and reduce eye strain while focusing on communicating with those you love. "Stay connected while being present. With only the essentials and a clean, distraction-free interface, powered by a custom operating system, Mudita Kompakt helps you focus on what truly matters without unnecessary interruptions or clutter."

I won't lie, it was way harder than I thought to make the transition. It took me a couple months but I made it past the intial struggle and now only have the Kompakt. I use my laptop for all work and social media and website searches. Recently, another problem cropped up, all of the internet companies are now forcing you to have a smartphone for two factor authentication or scanning QR codes to get into their websites. I've made calls and emails to the banks and other companies to set me up with email verification, but some....I just cannot access. Very frustrating that I have to resort to my hubby's smartphone in some cases.

As this world grows more addicted and fatigued, there are groups of people like me, heading towards healthy tech. Big internet will have to respond if more of us choose this form of protest.
