EMF Part 1: Thermal Effects


Is wireless technology slowly killing us? People don’t believe what they can’t perceive. Human-made ElectroMagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) are all around us today from powerlines, cell towers, WIFI routers, microwave ovens, baby monitors and anything that uses AC power. These EMFs are invisible, and we cannot sense them even though we know they exist.

Let me give you a short lesson on EMFs. Take a look at the picture below:





Sunlight is part of the electromagnetic spectrum which contains frequencies from ultraviolet (highest) to infrared (lowest). Our eye cannot perceive these 2 frequencies, nor can it perceive any frequencies higher than UV (x-ray, gamma-ray), or lower than IR (microwave, radio). We do know however there are biological effects of both UV and IR light and the effects are well documented, so I won’t bother going through them all. In short term, they drive thousands of biological processes.

So if two of the most critical sunlight frequencies (UV and IR) cannot be perceived, then believing that microwave frequencies found in modern technology have no biological effects is a dangerous assumption. Let’s explore the science. The high frequency range of the spectrum emit short wavelength photons that are extremely powerful. These frequencies are classified as ionizing radiation, because they have the potential to eject an electron from matter. The low frequency range of the spectrum emit long wavelength photons that are much less powerful. These frequencies are classified as non-ionizing radiation, because they do not have the potential to eject an electron from matter. They do however have the potential to vibrate electrons in matter producing thermal energy (heat).

When IR light from the sun is shined on water, it moves electrons away from protons, creating an exclusion zone (EZ) which is a battery. This is how humans use IR light from the sun to make a battery in each of our cells that allow us to carry energy potential. UV light from the sun has the potential to further move electrons away from protons, expanding the EZ. The larger the EZ in our cells, the higher our energy potential is. Every cell in our body has mitochondria within that generate energy for the cells, and are sometimes referred to as the powerplants for cells. Mitochondria are actually bacteria that absorb and emit light. Our mitochondria use food substrates to generate energy when we lose energy too quickly in our environment. The food we eat is broken down into the simplest form of matter: protons and electrons which are taken up by mitochondria. They are inputted into the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) within the innermitochondrial membrane. Here, electrons are tunneled through a matrix of 5 respiratory proteins: Complex I through IV, and ATPase (sometimes referred to as Complex V) to generate Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which is the energy for cells.


I know it seems like I’m digressing, but I want to talk a bit about water chemistry. In physics, when matter is cooled, it condenses or shrinks. When matter is heated, it expands. Water happens to be the exception: it expands when cooled, and shrinks when heated. This is important to note, because as humans, we are made up of water and proteins. IR light plays a very important role in maximizing our energy production because of its effects on water and protein. IR light generates the right amount of heat to shrink the intracellular water in our mitochondria that decreases the distance between the 5 respiratory proteins. This improves electron tunneling that allows us to maximize energy production for the cell. Our mitochondria can alter their function to control the flow of electrons based upon our environment: during a warm sunny day, when there is plenty of UV and IR light present in the sun, the flow of electrons is naturally high as we absorb these light frequencies to shrink the intracellular water to keep the respiratory proteins close together. At night, when the sun is down, we no longer have this ability, so our mitochondria release IR heat from stored fat, to do what the sun does for us at night when we sleep in a cold/dark environment.


So what happens when we expose ourselves chronically to the microwave frequencies in modern technology? We absorb these low frequencies as thermal energy with NONE of the benefits of IR light that create an EZ in our cells. As a result, the EZ is diminished, the intracellular water shrinks, and the respiratory proteins become dehydrated, and swell. When this occurs, electron tunneling slows and we become energy deficient as our mitochondria fail to produce ATP at the required rate for the cell. When a cell becomes energy deficient overtime, it takes up less oxygen leading to a state of pseudohypoxia. This leads to an acidic state that activates the body's programmed cell death mechanisms (apoptosis or necrosis) to rid the body of the cell. The body would much prefer to recycle components of a damaged cell rather than have it replaced with a new one. That process is called autophagy, and it occurs during sleep.
The only way it can occur during sleep is if we allow our mitochondria to release IR light, which it will only do when there is a complete absence of light. Any unnatural EMF present during sleep will disrupt this.

Here is an analogy for you: if you put a cup of water in a microwave, and nuke it on high for a minute, you will have the water boiling. As mentioned, when water is heated, it shrinks as it evaporates into thin air. If we put the same cup of water in the microwave on the lowest power, we can still heat it enough to boil, although it will take longer. Now, let’s imagine this is your life: you wake up, get ready for work, and put your cell phone in your pocket. You sit at a computer for 8 hours in an office building surrounded by all your colleagues who also have cell phones in their pockets. You are also within the vicinity of several WIFI signals. Then you get home from work, eat dinner, and go to sleep with your wireless router, and your neighbour’s emitting their signals, not to mention your cell phone by your bedside, and maybe a cordless landline phone. Your intracellular water is the cup of water in this analogy.


Here's another analogy for you: suppose you are going to cook frozen veggies on the stove. What do you need to add to the veggies before heating them? Water. You throw your frozen veggies into a pot, add water and bring to a boil, then let simmer until cooked. Why do you have to use water to cook the veggies over the stove? Because without water, the veggies will burn. Think of your intracellular water as the water that surrounds your proteins (tissues) in each of your cells. If that water evaporates from heat, your proteins are dehydrated, and are damaged from heat much like cooking veggies without water.


Stay tuned for Part 2.
