Do Consumers Know The Health Risks Associated With Electromagnetic Fields?
Increasingly, day-by-day, all of creation is being assaulted and battered by electromagnetic fields—some are “naturally-occurring” way high above the planet in the ionosphere, which now are pulled down via specifically-created high-tech programs into our troposphere atmosphere due to weather geoengineering and high ionospheric maneuvering tinkering (HAARP), plus other EMFs deliberately created by technology to accommodate ‘smart’ tech devices, especially microwave technology.

Do those EMFs affect wildlife? You betcha! Here is a consolidated listing of 153 peer-reviewed studies of articles, which report significant effects on wildlife from EMF exposures.

So, what can humans expect from EMF/RF/ELF exposures, and why should we care?
Because the risks are multiple from what’s termed “non-thermal radiation waves” emitted by modern tech devices consumers think are innocuous, e.g., iPhones, smart phones, Wi-Fi, AMI Smart Meters, routers, cell phones and other devices. However, we have absolute control over exposure by our understanding of the risks and going through a “smart app and appliance” addiction detox process of elimination, especially for young children.
If consumers were able to see all the EMFs assaulting us—did you know bees can see some EMFs—there would be a totally different approach to our obsession and addiction to some of the ‘advances’ in technology because the tradeoffs are too great a risk.
Below are some of the known risks from EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies).
X-Ray (man-made) produced by medical imaging devices used to diagnose health issues.
Risk: Tissue and organ damage by breaking bonds (ionic bonds, covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds.)
Visible Light (the Sun, natural source of life-giving rays)
Risk: Ultraviolet light rays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet) can cause skin burns and damage, plus skin cancers
Microwave (a higher radiofrequency [RF] ) man-made produced via microwaves and cell and cordless phones, cell and mast towers, plus any high-tech, man-made device that can send and receive data, voice or photos, e.g., AMI Smart Meters
Digital electric and gas meters, also known as “smart meters.” These devices, which operate at about the same radiofrequencies as cell phones, transmit information on consumption of electricity or gas to utility companies. [1] [CJF emphasis]
Risk: Can heat tissues and penetrate the blood brain barrier. There are increased risks of brain cancer, dementia and heart disease. Non-thermal waves affect all of human biochemistry which causes electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) or idiopathic environmental intolerance (IEI).
Radiofrequency (RF) man-made radio and television signals, plus radar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics)
Risk: RFs can disrupt the human body’s cellar instructions and interactions causing EHS or IEI
Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) man-made electric power lines [1], electrical wiring, and electrical appliances such as shavers, hair dryers, electric blankets [1]
Risk: Close proximity exposure has been associated with leukemia, childhood leukemia in particular [2]
Finally, are consumers aware of this?
Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front of their smart television set. [3]
