The Dangers Of EMF...How To Protect Yourself
It seems that everywhere you turn there is another tower or antenna being installed on anything they can find that will hold it. A water tower, a building top, cell phone towers, and now power poles.
Should we all be worried with all of this pollution being put into the air from all of the devices we all use and love everyday? Let’s do some digging and find out.
So what exactly is an EMF? An electromagnetic field (EMF) is an invisible area of energy (also known as radiation) that is produced by the movements of electrons, or current through a wire, also called electricity. Essentially an EMF is an area of moving electrical charges.
EMFs are on a spectrum, and the field’s location on the spectrum depends on its wavelength and frequency.
There are two types of EMFs, Ionizing and non-ionizing. One has the potential to break chemical bonds and one does not.
Ionizing radiation fields involve shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. Ionizing radiation fields can break chemical bonds because they can move electrons from atoms, including living tissue and those comprising water. Some of the popular uses of ionizing radiation are gamma rays, which are used in x-rays.
Non-ionizing EMFs cannot break chemical bonds and have a lower frequency and longer wavelength. These fields are in manufactured and natural forms. Popular sources of non-ionizing EMFs are infrared radiation (heat lamps), ultraviolet radiation (tanning beds), microwaves, and radio frequency radiation (mobile devices).
So now that we know the two types of electromagnetic fields, let’s see how each one can effect your health.
Because ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds it can be harmful . It can also change the chemical and molecular structures of human tissue and other substances. If someone is exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation for long periods of time they are prone to damage. This is why the radiologist puts on the lead apron or stands behind the isolating wall when doing X-rays.
Exposure to high dosages of ionizing radiation cause:
Damage to bone marrow
Damage to an unborn baby
Tissue and organ damage
Skin damage
Hair loss
Burns
Long term damage may not be immediately noticeable from ionizing radiation.
This damage includes:
Cancer
Damage to an unborn baby
Fertility issues
Oxidative harm
Non-ionizing EMFs are said to not be harmful at “typical levels”. Just remember these “typical levels” levels are set by the same government that says that grains and whole wheat are healthy :) Just saying…:)
Non-ionizing EMFs are those emitted from computers, bluetooth devices, household appliances, microwaves, and cell phones.
The American Heart Association states that pacemakers are not typically affected by non-ionizing EMFs, but does recommend keeping a 6 inch buffer between a pacemaker and a motor or antennae.
Heat is created from non-ionizing radiation, this is how your microwave works. It is thought that this heat is not dangerous, but it still could harm human tissue.
People who are exposed to high doses of non-ionizing radiation are at a greater risk to tissue damage.
Acute Radiation Syndrome
Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is also known as radiation sickness. This severe syndrome can develop when within a short time you are exposed to very high levels of radiation. ARS is more probable the more exposure your body and internal organs have to radiation.
ARS symptoms include:
Headache
Diarrhea
Naseau
Vomiting
A coma
Seizures
Fever
Loss of appetite
Fatigue
Acute radiation syndrome is very serious and should be treated quickly. Most cases occur after long term exposure, such as skin cancer. (Medicalnewstoday)
There are several ways you can protect yourself from daily long term exposure to EMFs. Start by not holding your phone directly.
I use a selfie stick so my hand is not directly in contact with my device. I can tell a huge difference now when I do hold it directly, what a huge difference.
Here is the link for the one I use.
Turn off the wifi when you are sleeping, and keep the router away from bedrooms and gathering areas in your home.
Blu shield offers some great EMF protection both portable that you can carry on you, and for your home and office.
All of these products will help protect you from 4 and 5g. I will post the link below.
Use corded headphones instead of bluetooth headphones for long periods. I can tell a huge difference since I put the cord on my Dre beat headphones and stopped using the bluetooth.
Put a EMF protection sticker on your cell phone. This will also help to reduce the EMF coming from your device. Here is a link for some EMF protection phone stickers.

Request that the utility companies remove the smart meters from your home (power, gas, water, etc) and replace them with analog meters. This will greatly reduce the full time EMF in and around your home.
You can also put a smart meter shield over the meter if they will not remove it. Here is a link for a smart meter shield.
EMF protection blankets also work well, and will help you sleep better. These are like normal blankets but are insulated wish a silver mesh that the EMF cannot penetrate. I will post a link below for a EMF protection blanket.
Use a full EMF bed canopy. This will guarantee that the EMFs stay out of your sleep area. This canopy is essentially a faraday cage.
Which is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields. A faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material, or in the case of a faraday cage, by a mesh of such materials. (Wiki)
Here is a link for a full EMF bed canopy.
Shungite for EMF protection.
Shungite: Is a black, lustrous, non-crystalline mineraloid consisting of more than 98 weight support of carbon. It was first described from a deposit near Shunga village, in Karelia. Russia, from where it gets its name. (Wiki)
Shungite has the same carbon make up as the Awesome detoxer C60, we did a whole blog post on C60, here is the link.
The EMF combating power of shungite comes its unique carbon make up, meaning it is full of fullerenes which are 3-D spherical molecules made up of 60 carbon atoms. These molecules are hollow and trap toxins and other pollutants inside of them. This is why C60 is such a great detoxer.
Not only is shungite chock full of carbon molecules, it also consists of nearly all of the minerals on the periodic table! What a power tool in blocking EMF as well as so much more! Below is a link to purchase your own shungite stone.

Utilizing all of these little steps to help protect yourself from EMF will add up in the long term for sure. Remember the more odds you stack in your favor, the better you will do. Basically limit your exposure the most you can is the answer to the EMF harm.
5G is super EMF, and super strong. We have already turned it off on our phones. We could go down a rabbit hole concerning the whole 5G controversy, so we won’t. 5G will be a future blog post for sure.
I only know how it effects me when I am around it, so I stay away from it. I get an immediate headache and feel fatigue and foggy. No thanks :) You make your own call, listen to your body, no worries.
Protect you and your family in all ways you can from the EMF icky floating around out there.
Here’s to your health…
Cheers!
