Electro sensitivity - a growing phenomenon
Electric and Electromagnetic fields (EMF) entirely surround us. Close proximity of mobile phones to vital organs, mobile phone masts on every street corner and continual exposure to Wi-Fi is taking its toll on human health. Scientific evidence is demonstrating that tumours, infertility, fatigue, anxiety and behavioural problems are just some of the conditions linked with EMF & Electro-sensitivity.
Whilst it is true that we all have some immunity against outside negative influences, if we are already living on the edge, increased exposure to Electromagnetic Fields can tip the balance toward illness.
Survey of an individual's exposure to EMF can act as a preventative measure.

Guide do EMF & Electro-sensitivity
Electro-sensitivity is an adverse reaction to Electro-Magnetic Fields that affects a growing number of people.
The degree of influence will depend on a person’s natural sensitivity, the concern is that it may create further harm to existing underlying health issues. (1)
There is much debate within the healthcare and scientific communities regarding what level of exposure is safe. However, the general consensus based on solid scientific research is that less is better. (2)
Time will only tell how the understanding of the dangers will develop over the next 50 years, but already there is evidence that keeping mobile phones in pockets can reduce the sperm count, motility, viability and normal morphology in men. (3-5)
Furthermore, the growing incidence of Leukaemia in the US in the 20th century has a proven correlation to the growing electrification of the nation – in a number of studies (6-8)
It is an inconvenient truth that 24/7 WIFI adversely affects our health and one that is not acknowledged by public regulators our usual safeguard – however there is growing evidence and enough research available that should make us very concerned about the extent of exposure to EMF that we subject ourselves and our young ones to. (9)
And history has taught us, prevention is better than cure.

Sleep like a king? (mattress)
You sleep for 1/3 of your day, a metal frame bed could seriously disturb the magnetic resonance of your body.
Metal springs in a mattress can alter the body’s natural magnetic field and therefore its resonance, creating yet another toll of energy expenditure. (10)
Boric acid and other fire retardants are added by law to every mattress, these are highly toxic chemicals and inhaling their fumes can seriously affect your health.
Fortunately, there are alternatives available, wooden beds and natural mattresses made from latex and wool.

Are you earthed? (Static electricity)
A ‘Grounding sheet’ or 'Earthing sheet' plugged into an earth socket is an important solution that will reduce a body’s static electricity to what it should be, just as If you walked bare-feet on non-plastic floors that were connected to ground (earthed).
Human bodies are satellite dishes receiving information, influence and energy from the surrounding environment, both positive and negative, but there is always a danger that some of these influences may cause a lack of equilibrium and overheating leading to symptoms such as inflammation, pain and irritability. (11)
Since time immemorial mankind has naturally known the benefits of walking barefoot.
Barefoot walking and old fashion style leather shoes function as an electric transmitter and therefore conduct accumulated static electricity to the ground.

Electricity (what is safe?)
We surround ourselves with a complex network of electric cables serving multiple devices, creating fields of electromagnetic energy.
24 hours a day we are ‘plugged’ into a ‘Faraday cage’, an electro-magnetic field which changes the natural homeostasis of a human body.
Consistently the risk of damage to the health and well-being of an individual is increased by exposure to transistors, transformers, electrical devices, close proximity of speakers, computers, TV screens, mobile or reading devices (12)
And in addition to these obvious dangers there are electric cables underground and in your house walls.
Electricity substations are in every street and high voltage cables transfer electricity to your house or flat.
National electricity infrastructure has built underground tunnels to transfer electricity from 400kV substations to the rest of the country.
Even historically it is shown that countries that had not yet been covered by radiation from FM - broadcasting towers continued to have a low and stable melanoma rate and there is an association between incidence of melanoma and the effect of radio towers on reduced repair efficiency of human cells.

Dirty Electricity (as according to Dave Stetzer)
Dirty Electricity is when the external electrical power lines or wiring in your house contain abnormal electrical currents. In the UK, the incoming supplies are usually clean so normally it is only generated by internal devices such as induction cooker hobs, dimmer switches, fluorescent light bulbs, energy efficient bulbs, TV’s, Smart meters, computers and some radios.
Any modern device that has a "switched mode power supply" will create some DE. Solar panel inverters that generate the 230 volts that feed into the electricity supply often generate a large quantity of dirty electricity.
Multi-occupancy living spaces can be the worst offenders as they share the same sources and the dirty electricity will often piggyback on your electrical wiring and radiate into the environment, interacting with your body and causing potential adverse health effects. (14)

High Frequency Radio Pollution
Microwaves, digital baby alarms, Wi-Fi routers and DECT cordless-phones all give off High Frequency Radio Pollution, there are dangers also if you sleep with mobile phone near your bed/head. (15)

Other radiation
Radon radiation leak is not uncommon in certain parts of Britain, the need for thorough testing is growing.
Potential health risks have also been found in the granite finishes in modern kitchens & bulbs that contain mercury. (16,17)
In fact, the US Department of Public health suggest not entering the room for a minimum of 15 min. after the break of such bulb, and if pregnant not at all
They even go as far to suggest that you completely remove a carpet that has contact with a broken bulb and ventilate the room for several hours. (18)

Shall we throw away everything?
It is not the intention to suggest a return to ancient times and forget all the conveniences of modern life, rather that we engage with such development only within healthy parameters and always seek the most natural and healthy alternative resources increasingly available on the market in order to maintain health whilst continuing your favoured lifestyle.
