EMF and Health

​All electrical appliances, wires, and power lines produce measurable electromagnetic fields called EMF and residentially are generally associated with extremely low frequencies (ELF). Extremely low does not mean harmless, it is only a designation for the range of frequencies.   ...

Debate still exists over the actual health hazards associated with exposure to EMFs. According to the National Institute of Health's 1998 press release statement regarding power-frequency fields, EMF associated with residential exposure can only be classified as a "possible", not "probable" human carcinogen. This is because no research body has yet been able to prove that "EMF causes cancer". This is in part due to who is supplying the funding for the studies and the outcome they are hoping for. 

However, in one report, issued by the US Government and documented by Con Edison's Environmental Safety department, the research scientists stated that although they could not determine whether or not EMF fields "caused" cancer, they were very concerned about the changes that took place at the cellular level (in humans) in the presence of EMF, and felt that further study was both necessary and recommended.

My clinical observations and personal experiences in dealing with the affects of EMF exposure have convinced me that the health hazards vary according to the sensitivity of the individual and the symptoms that may result are dependent upon the person's biological vulnerabilities. Research that is done should therefore not concern itself with the causes of specific diseases or conditions, but, instead, focus on what exactly is happening at the cellular level within the various body systems: brain, central nervous system, gut, etc. This is research without a political or industry agenda, as it should be.
