Our Wi-Fi world poses some potential serious health consequences to all of us … the major concern being cancer induction.
The World Health Organization has classified EMFs as Group 2B Carcinogens which means they are possibly cancerous.
The National Institutes of Health found an increased occurrence of rare brain tumors (gliomas) and rare heart tumors from exposure to microwave radiation from cell phones
The majority of cancers are initiated by damage to a cell’s DNA/genetic chromosomes, leading to changes in cellular function and cell death.
Wireless technology such as that found in cell phones, emits a type of EMF or non-ionizing electromagnetic field.
Infants and young children, even the unborn are most vulnerable to EMFs.
So how can You reduce your exposure to Wi-Fi?
Here are some simple tips to reduce your exposure to Wi-Fi while staying connected:
- Keep your smart phone on “Airplane” mode most of the time.
- Do not work with a laptop/iPad on your lap.
- Unplug everything in your bedroom at night.
(Your brain is most vulnerable to EMFs during sleep.)- Use a wired Ethernet connection for Internet on your laptop (rather than Wi-Fi).
- Use a headset that is not wired (wires attract and amplify EMFs)—use an airtube headset, instead.
- Replace your wireless devices with wired versions.
From a recent article in Total Health Solutions:
“A recent study sent shockwaves through the scientific community. In May 2016, the U.S. codes, of the National Institutes of Health, released the results of a $25 million nine-year study. The results found an increased occurrence of rare brain tumors (gliomas) and rare heart tumors from exposure to microwave radiation from cell phones.
More than 230 scientists from 41 countries have expressed their “serious concerns” regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices. They refer to the fact that “numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms adversely well below the levels that international and national guidelines deem safe.”
Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, DNA damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general wellbeing in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plants and animals.”
Nutrition and EMFs
We are still learning about this area, but eating a generous amount of a variety of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants may offer some protection against EMFs.
Include cruciferous vegetables (e.g. brussels sprouts, broccoli, bok choy, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, endive) and lots of colorful plant foods rich in phytonutrients like cherries, oranges, carrots, beets, tomatoes, spinach.
Eat fatty fish, nuts and seeds rich on omega-3 fatty acids and maintain a healthy gut and digestive system.
Many nutrition supplements are antioxidants such as glutathione, NAC, curcurmin, quercetin and vitamin C.
