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
