In Part 1 I discussed how EMFs from modern technology effect water chemistry and tissue/proteins. Hopefully this is beginning to make sense to you.
Now I’m sure a question you might have thus far is: if these microwave frequencies from modern technology heat our tissues and dehydrate our cells, how come we don’t feel the heat from WIFI routers, or cell phones? Great question, I’m glad you asked! Microwave frequencies emit long wavelengths that travel far distances. Sunlight frequencies are of shorter wavelengths, and do not penetrate past the skin (2 mm), thus the thermal energy is absorbed at the skin layer and that's where we feel the heat. This activates our sweat glands to release extracellular water (water outside our cells) to cool the skin to protect from skin damage. Well microwave frequencies of 2.4 GHz (used in WIFI, baby monitors and microwave ovens) can penetrate depths up to 17 mm, thus exerting its thermal effects much beyond the skin layer, and into the organ tissue level.
So if the surface of our skin does not perceive this thermal energy irradiating our body, how do we feel the tissue heating effects of microwave frequencies? One simple word: inflammation. And that’s exactly what these frequencies do to humans: heat and dehydrate your tissues, damage your proteins and increase inflammation. We know that when we are ill with a bad virus, our inflammation levels in the body are high, and we often spike a fever. This is a normal part of the acute immune response. Once you get better, the fever breaks, and your symptoms of inflammation disappear as the body heals itself. Well when you are exposed chronically to microwave frequencies, you will experience chronic inflammation due to increased cell death by tissues exceeding their heat thresholds. Could it be part of why we see a plethora of chronic inflammatory illnesses today such as: heart disease, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune disease, neurodegeneration and cancer? How many people own a cell phone today? And how many people are suffering from a chronic illness? Is it just a coincidence? I think not.
Additionally, there are some documented non-thermal biological effects of microwave frequencies such as calcium ion efflux. Calcium ions are primarily stored in bone tissue, but small amounts are found in the intra and extracellular space. Calcium ions are released into the bloodstream for important cellular signalling usually during a stressful or excitotoxic event. EMFs found in modern technology have been proven to increase the influx of intracellular calcium ions, overloading the cell and increasing cell death mechanisms. Additionally, there is controversial evidence now that points to cell phone radiation having the ability to break individual strands of DNA. More research is required for conclusive evidence, but based on the biochemistry, I am not surprised.
So how do you know if EMFs are negatively impacting your health? I want you to take a quick minute to assess your exposure. Ask yourself how much time you spend in an area that is within reception of a WIFI router, how much time you spend on your cell phone, and how densely populated your environment is. You will begin to realise how easy it is to be chronically irradiating yourself with microwave frequencies in your environment. If you suffer from any chronic health conditions, or experience chronic neurological, or inflammatory symptoms, that should be a clear indicator of EMF toxicity. If you have no symptoms and feel you are in optimal health but still face chronic exposure, I encourage you to get some lab work done. You must realise that disease and illness is not always linear. What I mean by that is that many times, the labs may show unfavorable changes in your health markers before symptoms arise, and on the contrary, symptoms may arise prior to these changes in health markers.

Whether or not you are suffering from illness or symptoms, here are some health markers that may be negatively effected by EMFs:
1. BUN/Creatinine ratio (this tells you the hydration status of your cells). A typical healthy ratio is between 10:1 and 15:1 and anything higher can indicate dehydration.
2. Electrolytes: Sodium and Potassium. Dehydration can cause sodium levels to rise and potassium levels to fall in the blood.
3. Calcium: as mentioned, majority of calcium is stored in bone tissue. EMF exposure can increase the breakdown of calcium to enter the blood, so if levels are high, it may suggest EMF toxicity and dehydration.
4. HS CRP (Highly Sensitive C-Reactive Protein): a marker of inflammation in the body.
5. High blood pressure: associated with high stress levels, inflammation and dehydration.
6. Hormone panel: the stress hormones like cortisol, sex hormones like testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, and thyroid-related hormones like TSH, T3 and T4 can be important health markers as they are usually altered under chronic stress.
Other than lab tests, what could be another major indicator of microwave toxicity? Intense hunger and carbohydrate cravings. Why would we crave carbohydrates under chronic exposure to microwave frequencies? What is a carbohydrate (CHO) fundamentally? It is a chemical bond of many Carbon (C) and Water (H2O) molecules. Therefore, carbs hydrate the body. Well since we’ve already addressed the thermal effects of EMFs, we know water is lost in our cells, and dehydration occurs; so it only makes sense that the body would crave carbs to offset this. This is another reason why carbs only exist in nature in warm climates, because they provide mammals with a source of water to stay hydrated and cooled. They do not exist in cold climates in nature, and mammals do not need carbs in winter, because they need to generate heat by burning fat, not carbs. This means that when we live in an EMF toxic world, and it is winter, we tend to hate the cold weather, because our body cannot burn fat for heat when our internal tissues are being heated. Instead, the body chooses carbs to cool our internal organs and rehydrate the cells. This is a complete mismatch when we are trying to thrive in cold climates! This study proves the theory above. It demonstrates a significant increased glucose (carb) metabolism in the brain during cell phone usage. This essentially is the body’s stress response to cool the brain.
Here is another good read. Some evidence confirming changes in glucose metabolism in diabetic and MS patients.
